CHAPTER 5 Moving and Managing Info Between Your Device and Your Computer
Using Drive Mode
On a Mac computer, use Drive Mode to move files between a computer and your device’s hard
drive.
If you are at a Windows computer that doesn’t have LifeDrive Manager installed—a computer at a
hotel or your friend’s house, for example—use Drive Mode to open, move, or copy files on your
device. With Drive Mode, your device connects to your computer like an external removable drive
such as a CD drive.
The computer must support external removable drives in order for you to use Drive Mode with the
computer. Most current operating systems such as Windows 2000, Windows XP, and Mac OS X
support external removable drives.
While you’re using Drive Mode, you cannot use any other feature of your device,
including LifeDrive Manager and synchronization. You can, however, continue to receive alerts
such as notifications of appointments or new email messages. If you select an alert or attempt to
use your device in some other way—for example, by pressing a quick button—a message appears,
asking if you want to continue using Drive Mode or disconnect from Drive Mode to use your
device.
NOTE
Tip
If you plan to use Drive
Mode, remember to bring
your USB sync cable and
AC charger with you, so
you can connect to other
computers.
