iPod not responding
« on: January 06, 2008, 02:36:52 PM »
I try to uninstall rockbox and it says can't find iPod, but it is plugged in. It doesnt come up in my computer or iTunes. Please help me get rid of rockbox since you wouldn't help me fix it in another post.

Wouldn't help you fix it?  That thread has questions you have not yet answered.  I'm not sure how we are meant to help if you won't give us information, but nonetheless:

Have you got the iPod in diskmode?

Either boot the original firmware, or reboot to emergency disk mode.  Check the manual for the key combinations, I can't remember them.

...and that's a sure way to cause disk corruption as evidenced by dozens of other posts on this forum crying that Rockbox wrecked their iPod, when in fact they had done it by their own silly actions.

People will help if you are genuinely stuck, but you do need to provide exact information when asked and be patient for replies...

If you still need it, link to diskmode instructions in the manual:
