iPod 5g 30GB doesn't mount or charge?

<< < (2/2)

you don't need to mount the data partition in order to update the bootloader -- the PC needs to recognize the Ipod of course. Changing to emergency disc mode (by holding Play + Select upon powerup) will always work as this is hard wired and cannot be changed by Rockbox. You need to reset the Ipod to leave emergency disc mode. The FAQ holds some links to Apples knowledge base about these issues.

Just tried that on a PC here at work with an updated version of iTunes, bootloader, etc. No different.
The only other thing I can think of is the Apple OS has been modified, it has a Supper Mario Brothers theme. Maybe something in that modification messed it up but I find it hard to believe it could mess it up just right so that it still charges with the Firewire cable and still works fine on my Alpine receiver. So weird.
I have an appointment at the Genius Bar at a local Apple store tomorrow, I'm just gonna play dumb and hope they can wipe the whole thing.
Unless there's any other ideas...
Thanks :)

Well, I'll never know what was wrong. Took it to the Genius Bar at an Apple store, they couldn't get it to work so they gave me a new one :)
