Using ipod on other computers
« on: April 27, 2007, 09:48:48 PM »
after installing rockbox I can no longer seem to use my ipod on other computers as a harddrive the error that comes up is that access is denied and I cannot view any files that are on it works fine on my computer at home (the one I installed rockbox with) however all other computers cannot acces it. What do I need to do to be able to access my ipod on other computers? I have an ipod color if thats any help

You don't need to do anything.  Rockbox uses the USB mode built into your ipod.  If it doesn't work on another computer, something is wrong with that computer.

Try putting the iPod into Disk Mode and then connecting it to USB.  (There are instructions on entering Disk Mode in the Installation chapter of the manual.)

had a look through the manual saw nothing about putting it in disk mode I'm assuming this is a rockbox feature as it is in disk mode in itunes
