i cant use ipodpatcher-2.0

[elyon]

it says that my ipod isnt unmounted, has itunes on, or my ipod is in disk mode...
i have done all of that....
the only thing i can think is that i dont know how to fully unmount an ipod so that it stays unmounted....

What ipod do you have?  What OS (Windows, Linux, Mac OS X, ...) are you running on your computer?  

Are you running ipodpatcher as administrator/root ?

[elyon]

i have a classic (60GB) and am running Leapod or windows xp pro
also have a XP home on a compy that is not hooked up to the internet
i have a jump drive 16 GB so getting things on my non-internet one isnt a prob...
and no i am not an admin...

The ipod Classic is the 6th generation iPod, and we don't support that model.

Are you certain it's a Classic?

(EDIT: Fixed... thanks linuxstb for pointing out my error.)

The Classic comes in 80 and 160 GB only, so if yours is 60 GB it isn't a Classic.

and no i am not an admin...

I believe ipodpatcher requires admin rights.  On the Mac try running it with sudo, on XP you will need to log in using an admin account.

yeah sorry typo it is a 80...  
ill try that thanks...

admin rights didnt work
i guess that all i can do now is wait for the 6th gen system to come out

[linuxstb]

LambdaCalculus379's use of the phrase "we don't support that model yet" was misleading - there is no-one actively working on porting Rockbox to the newer ipods (the hardware is internally completely different to the older ipods, and to make matters worse, the firmware is protected by encryption).

So don't expect Rockbox to work on the Classic any time soon, if at all.

So don't expect Rockbox to work on the Classic any time soon, if at all.

Unless, of course, you get the ball rolling by cracking the firmware and/or porting rockbox to the hardware. If you want to do this, go to the New Ports forum, but ONLY if you actually start the porting effort, not to post about how great it would be.
