Welcome to the Rockbox Technical Forums!
[...]A popup box stating "iTunes has detected a Macintosh-formatted iPod. You must restore this iPod before you can use it on Windows". Then in the iTunes window you'll have an option to 'Restore' the iPod. Follow the steps (iPod Software Update will be downloaded within iTunes if required). The iPod will be restored, and you'll get a window stating "Your iPod has been restored to factory settings, and is restarting. Please leave the iPod connected, and it will appear in the source list once it completes the restore process.".You'll see a progress bar move along the iPod's screen. Once done, you'll be prompted within Windows to name the iPod and asked whether you want to automatically sync music (and possibly photos). Untick the automatic sync options and proceed. At this point you'll see your iPod connected in iTunes and the 'Format' will be 'Windows'. You'll then be able to eject the iPod.You can then return to your Mac and install Rockbox and continue to use your iPod with iTunes on your Mac.
You can have a .rockbox - it is just hidden by default.I don't know what archive program you are using, but 7Zip is free and will do the job for you. A properly packaged theme just needs extracted to the root of your iPod - you don't need to unpack the theme manually. If the theme is properly packaged all the appropriate files will be put in the appropriate folder for you.

MacOS can't merge folders. it will delete the .rockbox directory and put the new one from the theme archive in it's place.I use this widget to display hidden folders: http://www.apple.com/downloads/dashboard/developer/hiddenfiles.html
don't worry, nobody could expect it, that's why it's so dangerous. I had to learn it the hard way.. one hour of work lost.It's a function (or better: lack thereof) of Mac OS/X.
