The iPod message “Disk Mode Ok to Disconnect” appeared suddenly on my iPod Nano without me knowingly turning this mode on. I tried to use the buttons or the wheel to turn it off but nothing seemed to work. I was getting desperate and decided to Google for a solution. Many people are using the iPod and it was highly unlikely that I was the only one experiencing this strange disk mode.
I learned that the only way to get out disk mode would be an reset of the iPod. Did I say that I hate it that the iPod can´t be turned off completely, there is no off switch. Well, to reset an newer iPod model I had to follow these steps:

To turn iPod Disk mode off:
- Toggle the hold switch on and off
- Press and Hold the Select and the Menu button for more than ten seconds
- The normal selection screen should appear, your iPod is out of Disk mode.
To turn iPod Disk mode on:
- Toggle the hold switch on and off
- Press and Hold the Select and the Menu button for six+ seconds
- Release both buttons when the Apple logo appears
- Press and Hold the Select and Play button until the Disk Mode text appears

thanks! worked a treat! xxx
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!

Thank You so much You save my day
Thanks for everything that really help fix the problem with my ipod of the disk mode.your are the best thanks always.
thanks I got all sad because I thought I was going to have to pay to get it fixed, but this worked
Thank you so much. I didn’t lose any of my songs either. Great advice.
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 ????
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!
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.
thank you very much
thank you so much. I HATE technology. I’m just glad i didn’t have to pay for this POS.
Thank you! You’ve saved my arse. Was getting really worried!
thnxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
a lotttttttttttttttttttssss…..:):):):):)
its not working for my 30gb i pod
im dieing with out my music!!!!
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
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 ! Without you I would have just been soooo depressed, as I recently had to reset my iPod because I wanted to use iTuneson my Laptop which took all of the old songs off of it. THank you so much ! You were a great help :D
Thanks so much ^ ^

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! :)
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
OMG THANK YOU! I woke up to find it like that… and i couldn’t figure it out.
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!

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.

press the center button and hold the menu at the same time and the iPod will reset and you do not loose your songs.
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.!!
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?
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.
Thanks– worked as stated. Apple should provide a direct link to this page.
Thank You so much… I was freaking out and thought my Ipod was broken.

did work for me
but this did:
1. Toggle the Hold switch on and off. (Slide it to Hold, then turn it off again.)
2. Press and hold the Menu and Center (Select) buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears, about 6 to 8 seconds. You may need to repeat this step.
thanks!
Thanks for the help! I was about to start flipping out, then I found you site, I had been toggling the hold, then pressing the pause/play and the center button instead!
thanks,
I thought not again another one of Apple’s schemes to get a new one.
I tried this like 20 times and i cant get mine off disk mode! Its driving me nuts!
Thanks so much. Your the best. Sammi try what Brad said in the above comments. That worked for me perfectly.
1. Toggle the Hold switch on and off. (Slide it to Hold, then turn it off again.)
2. Press and hold the Menu and Center (Select) buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears, about 6 to 8 seconds. You may need to repeat this step.
None of these things are working for me my ipod still won’t work????????????????
ThaNKs U! whew!
Thank you! Oh my gosh, I was about to have a heart attack xD!
Such a lifesaver!! Thanks for these instructions.
This is perfect. Thank you!!!

omg thank you so much!!
i was freaking out about this for hours
Thank you so much, it pisses me off then this shit happens and the worst thing is, I don’t EVER remember what it is that I have to do to get it back to normal. Anyway, thanks a lot man.
I don’t have a clue how it happened, but thank you so much for your help.
had to do with 2 pens as was not working for me, think if u dont push at the exactly same time it doesnt work! used 2 pens to push down at exactly the same time and is fine now! wierd i know thank you!!!!!!!!!!
This worked easily for me. Thanks
Thank you very much. It worked on the second try. Mine only did this in the media port of my Sony Theatre which it had worked fine in for a couple years. Then one day – this message came up whenever I put the iPod in the theatre stand to hear music at home. I did this procedure while it was in the port since that’s the only time I saw the message. The iPod worked normally otherwise.
Regards
Oh thank you, I thought I’d have to sync my I-pod and lose everything. What a lifesaver you are. My 2-year-old got a hold of my I-pod and put it into Disk Mode. Wasn’t sure what to do but now I’ve fixed it and I’m back in business. Hooray!!
Thank you….a millions times over.!!!!
Brilliant I was just about to chuck my ipod out and get a new one. Thank you.

thank you. you saved me from a late night fit of rage, which wouldve kept me up all night, trying to figure this out. not to mention i have to wake up in 6 hours for work. i wouldve been upset for a good week considering how much i have to work, and how HARD i have to work. i hope everyone that has this problem finds this post as quickly as i did.
Thanks a ton!!! Was bummed at the gym but now I know I don’t have to talk to a bunch of funny old men…..

Thanks! I just got my IPOD back from being fixed and this was the mode it was in. I was all ready to go back to the stoore and say they hadn’t fixed it. I’m glad I found this site. Saved me some embarassment.
