You need to read the manual. And the forum posting guidelines.

[ianoreo]

I know i should read the manual but i can't understand it. I'm sorry if I'm being mean or annoying  I just can't find a mac tutorial on rockbox.

[Llorean]

The manual includes instructions for a mac. If you have specific questions, say something like "The manual says to do this, but I don't know what it means."

[ianoreo]

sorry but the manual doesn seem to teach anything. i feel like im missing something. theres one page called installation in the pdf and it talk about things that i will need. then it skips ahead to quick start. am i missing pieces of the download or something?

[Llorean]

It's not a tutorial. It's not there to "teach" but it does contain specific instructions for how to install. Please read it careful, and as I said, ask more specific questions. Where *exactly* does it end, before it skips to how to use the software for example?

[ianoreo]

ahha  i just redownloaded the pdf and found the missing files. thanks for your time!

[ianoreo]

ok just one more question how do i get the bootloader on a mac?

[Llorean]

The instructions include a link to a mac bootloader installer.

[ianoreo]

all i see is bootloader installation from windows and from linux. is it in a different section of the pdf?

[Llorean]

There is definitely a bootloader installation from Mac OSX section in the manual, I've just checked.

[ianoreo]

Darn. This is so odd. In the bootloader part it goes in this order: Windows, Linux and then Speech support.
i'm sorry about this. I must be missing something.

[ianoreo]

Ok I just checked your online manual and found it. Thanks so much

[ianoreo]

k ive finished but now when i press menu and center it just loads my iPL Loader for ipodlinux.

I'm suprised  Llorean left this thread open as long as he did, since we do not support Loader 2 here.  Look in the unsupported builds forum for the thread dedicated to Loader 2.
