This should be working if you get the message Disk Mode OK to disconnect. Maybe you are doing something wrong ?

The ipod does not have to be connected to the pc

Anna says:

Thank You so much You save my day

Susana says:

Thanks for everything that really help fix the problem with my ipod of the disk mode.your are the best thanks always.

DeArsenio says:

Thanks a million man. I was so distraught when that disk mode thing just popped up and I really didnt know what to do. Every now and then I go out and Strut (Walk) just for exercise and modeling practice and the night before I figured Id just leave the ipod disconected from the charger all night and let the battery die out but that didnt work either because the ipods batteries have so much standby power that It would have taken all week for all the power to die out. But anyway thanks a million cause I really didnt want to reset all my music. THANKS!

Devin says:

thanks I got all sad because I thought I was going to have to pay to get it fixed, but this worked

Jill says:

Thank you so much. I didn’t lose any of my songs either. Great advice.

Tan says:

Thanks a lot for this. It did work. But another problem has cropped up.
After it got out of the Disk Mode, The Apple Logo is appearing and then disappearing. Its not even letting me turm off the Ipod. Though i can switch between Disk Mode and Regular mode.
Any Help ????

Priya says:

thank you so much. I was really worried that something had happened to my ipod nano. It did work. I did not lose any of my songs. great!

mat says:

I have the exact same problem as Tan; my iPod Classic 80G is cycling on and off, showing the Apple Logo on and off. I’ve called the helpline 1-800-275-2273 and Ryan (very helpful guy) told me I need to restore the iPod’s software using iTunes. This takes ~15′ using a fast connection, he told me.

sadek says:

MDMA_Prototype says:

zimm says:

its not working for my 30gb i pod

im dieing with out my music!!!!

franky says:

Another Way I found out was when you sync your ipod with itunes to click on the bith with your ipod on it then it has on the screen Ipod Version and options there is 4 options - Open itunes when this ipod is connected, sync only checked songs maually manage music ENABLE DISC USE it should be ticked untick it and then walah

Lorna says:

Thanks Sooooo Much ! Your A Lifesaver ! It had happened about four-six months before, but I couldn’t remember how to get it back to normal !

May the Lord bless you and keep you well and giving out great advice! :)
Thank-you so so much! I still have the instruction booklet but there is no drawing of what the screen looks like. It just says “to reset your ipod”. I was scared to death that I would somehow erase the information on my ipod. I ran to the computer and just typed in disk mode o.k. to disconnect and I read your comforting advice. THANKS! :)

Sheepy says:

I just wanted to say thank-you SO much. I was completely flabbergasted when this happened && had no idea why! I never had these kind of difficulties with my ipod mini, yet my video is constantly giving me difficulties.
Very frustrating.
Anywho, thank-you :D

For anyone who resets their Ipod from the disc mode and does not see the sleep option on the menu on your Ipod, go to Settings then to Main Menu and Sleep will be turned off, just click on instead.

BBLuv says:

press the center button and hold the menu at the same time and the iPod will reset and you do not loose your songs.

Mick Alvey says:

Someone had a comment above that the ipod qwas cycling between disk mode and the Apple logo or out of disk mode… well this is true - you need to go intothe itunes program in the settings and uncheck “Use/enable Disk Mode” Then the ipod will not go back into disk mode when plugged into computer.!!

arielle says:

i can’t even get my computer to recognize that my iPod’s plugged in. it keeps showing the apple logo and won’t let me do anything with it. what should i do about it? i got it out of disk mode, but now it’s just showing the apple sign. help?

W. Gallagher says:

Many thanks for the advice. My iPod Mini got into this mode (I don’t know what I did to induce it) and I was beginning to panic, thinking that maybe I would have to reset it and lose all of the music. Not so, thanks to your advice.
