Apple iPod Video 30GB -- Trouble Installing bootloader -- Images provided

(1/3) > >>

Takua1:
I have an Apple 30GB iPod video.  I have tried installing everything and so far I have not succeeded.

I will refer to this image: http://takua1.hcchosting.com/img/pic_all.png

I natively run Mac OS X 10.4 (PPC), however at my work I have access to Mac OS X 10.5 (PPC), Mac OS X 10.5 (Intel), and Fedora Linux (I don't know the distribution, I'm not fully acquainted with Linux).

Of course, the first thing I did was manually format the iPod to FAT32, and that was successful.  I then downloaded the ZIPs for Rockbox and the font pack and unzipped those.  As you can see, they're in ".rockbox" on my iPod.  When I try to install the bootloader, and I've tried to install it on a PPC Mac, Intel Mac and a Linux computer, it will not detect my iPod.

The iPod is connected via USB, and I do have it unmounted when I try.  iTunes is not open.

Any help?

Try running "sudo ipodpatcher" instead of "ipodpatcher". It needs administrative rights

Takua1:
All right.  I'm at my work, where I don't have administrative privileges, so I'll try this when I get to my home computer. Thanks!

bluebrother:
Oh -- and make sure the Ipod is unmounted when running ipodpatcher. On OS X this is required (if I remember correctly ipodpatcher tries to unmount the ipod before installing, but I'm not completely sure about that -- and checking yourself won't hurt ;) )

Takua1:
Okay, I got home and tried to finish the job and I was unsuccessful.

Here's a screenshot of Disk Utility when I go into terminal and type "sudo /ipodpatcher" (/ipodpatcher is my path to the file). http://takua1.hcchosting.com/img/rockbox2.png
