iPod Video 30G - Stuck

<< < (2/2)

LambdaCalculus:
iTunes for Mac OS seems to insist on having the hard drive formatted as HFS+, but I digress. Question answered, and the day is saved once again! :)

Llorean:
Other people have reported success using FAT32 iPods with MacOS iTunes. MacOS just takes a little longer to recognize them than Windows does, or than it does for HFS+ ones.

Greenish Apple:
I've formated my iPod to FAT32 as per the Manual. Macs and PCs can use a FAT32 formatted iPod but only a Mac can use an HFS+ formatted iPod. Rockbox only works with FAT32, as per the Manual.

If you use iTunes to format the iPod it will be FAT32 on a Windows machine and it will format it to HFS+ on a Mac, then you will have to re-format it as FAT32 to use Rockbox.
