iPod Video 30G - Stuck

(1/2) > >>

I've hit a brick wall with this.... any advice much appreciated. The highlights...

* I downloaded the Rockbox Util thingy for my (Intel) iMac. Nothing doing, it just gives the error "The application rbutilqt quit unexpectedly". I've tried this on a couple of different Macs. Same result.

So, plan B...
 
* I followed the instructions for manual install (I think) to the letter using the latest build for my type of ipod. It all went as advertised but on boot I got the "partition not found" message. I know this is less than comprehensive, but where should I start looking or what further information can I supply to debug this?

As I say, any pointers appreciated.

LambdaCalculus:
You may have to format your iPod to FAT32 first. Details on how to do that are here:

Also, which iPod are you trying to install to?

thepurpleblob:
Hi,

It's an iPod Video 30G - 5G.

If I change to FAT32 doesn't that mean I'm somewhat stuffed for using it with a Mac?

LambdaCalculus:
Well, you won't be able to use it with iTunes for the Mac, but you can still use it as an external hard drive, or with another application that can sort your music for you.

AlexP:
I was under the impression that itunes for the Mac will work with it just fine - both windows and mac itunes work with both win and mac pods - it is just that they will only restore to their native format.  (I could of course be wrong :))
