There seems to be a bug on Apple's side that causes the iPod to periodically reboot back into the Apple Firmware while it's off. This happens often on my own iPod, usually when I leave it off overnight and come back to it in the morning. (Not to mention the fact that I click the hold switch on as I shut it off; force of habit.)

If you shut your iPod down from Rockbox and come back to it a few hours later, only to be greeted by the Apple firmware, just reset it (MENU+SELECT). Until Rockbox can be permanently flashed to the iPods, thereby eliminating all traces of the Apple firmware, this is the only thing we can really do.

You can ask questions if you really, really need help with something. But always remember to make them good questions. :)

Right.  Thanks for all the help everyone!  I have it running and I manually installed a theme, it looks great.  It even works with my ihome, I'm happy about that. lol

Reset by pressing and holding the Menu and Select buttons simultaneously until the player restarts.  When it does, Rockbox should load.
