I have a second generation iPod mini that I updated the HD to a CF card several years ago. I have been happily using it with iTunes until this last release when Apple decided I didn't need to sync it anymore.
I downloaded the Rockbox utility for my Mac and the utility auto detected to mini, but when I go to install Rockbox, I get "Could not open iPod: permission denied". I thought it might be the filesystem, so I downloaded iTunes on an old PC I had, but that won't sync or reformat the iPod.
Any ideas where I go from here?
