If you plan on using your iPod as an external disk, you will need to format it. You can download this PDF for instructions. Look under "Extra Features and Accessories," then click on "Using iPod as an External Disk." This will take you to page 45 of the manual. Additionally, on page 46, you may want to follow the formatting instructions to prevent iTunes from automatically opening. This way, when you connect your iPod for the purpose of file storage, you will not have to wait for iTunes to boot up. You will just open your iPod in a Finder window.
The link above may not be the exact instuctions for your particular iPod, depending on what model you own. You can go to the Apple website to get the manual for your particular model. CLICK HERE FOR A LIST OF DIFFERENT MODELS AND MANUALS.
You should also be sure to prevent the lab computers from syncing with yout iPod when you initially attach it. Cancel out it this starts automatically.
