I recently purchased the iPad mini. I'm using the new MacBook air to sync. Everything is fine however I can't seem to get my ipad2 in disk mode. Any help would be appreciated.
Well, iOS devices only show as portable drives in Windows. When you plug in your iPad, iPhone or iPod using Windows, it will show up as a drive and ask you whether you want to import pictures and videos, or open device to view files. That makes things easy because you can drag your pictures and videos to your computer. But iOS devices don't work the same way in OS X that you can not drag and drop files directly using OS X. Then, how to enable the disk use on iPad, iPhone and iPod on Mac OS X so that we can transfer files between Mac computer and iOS devices, or manage iOS devices' files on Mac with ease?
