Screwed up partitions maybe. How did you convert it to fat32 ? Does the player boot?
Quote from: jax on January 31, 2012, 04:40:11 PMDoing so will indeed reformat the disc to my renamed (ROCKBOX) FAT formatted iPod. Now the rock box utility will autodetect it, but will NOT autodect the mountpoint and will not give me an option to manually insert the mountpoint.This is not sufficient. OS X uses a different partition table format, and you need to change that format as well. The easiest way would be to get access to a Windows machine with Itunes installed. There's a description on how to do this without Itunes in the wiki: http://www.rockbox.org/wiki/IpodConversionToFAT32QuoteNow when I go back in to iTunes to enable the disc, iTunes recognizes the iPod only as a "Recovering iPod" and gives me the option to restore (to MAC format which is useless for Rockbox).Which is not surprising. You didn't convert the Ipod to a Winpod, you merely reformatted its data partition. These are two completely different things (even if converting to a Winpod includes reformatting the data partition). Your Ipod is now in a state that neither Itunes nor Rockbox likes. Basically the system on the Ipod is now broken (though it's easy to fix this).QuoteAny clues would be appreciated.Do a full conversion.

And?Anyway, those logs are so long that they're cut off by the maximum post length. I don't think they're useful here anyway, but if you needed to post one, try pastebin so that people can actually read the whole thing.
