iPod not showing in Finder sidebar or desktop
TaliesinSoft
Finder's sidebar even thugh the "CDs, DVDs, and iPods" option is selected in
the Sidebar preferences pane for Finder. The same holds true for the Finder
Desktop preferences which are normally off but turning them on doesn't change
anything. The iPod does appear within iTunes.
My MacBook Pro is running OS X 5.5 and my iPod touch is running version 2.1
of the software. I'm running iTunes 8.
I'm curious as to whether others are experiencing the same oddity.

With the iPod connected, drag the its icon from the desktop to the
sidebar.

I don't think iPod Touch supports disk mode as does the classic iPod,
therefore it doesn't mount in the Finder. That's probably the reason
for the existence of iPod apps such as Air Sharing.
I wouldn't be at all surprised that I'm completely wrong, however...
By the way, off topic, I've just installed 10.5.5 and noticed that
there's no spell checking as I type this...

Unfortunately there is also no icon for the iPod touch on the desktop even
though the Finder preferences are set to show it. In both the sidebar and on
the desktop the various drives show if the option to display them is
selected.

Does the iPod Touch support "Enable disk use" and if so, have you
enabled it?

No, you (and Tom) are correct: there's no support for disk mode with
the new iPod Touches.
There are various apps on the App Store which let you store files on
the iPod Touch and iPhone. I'm using Air Share, as it came out a few
days ago and is currently free. Another one's called File Magnet.

You've done something then, because it still detects spelling errors here.
Cheers,
