It's a standard unix program that lists the contents of a directory (by default the current directory): http://unixhelp.ed.ac.uk/CGI/man-cgi?ls

I'm just trying to verify the name of the Rockbox Utility program file since when you typed sudo ./rbutilqt in the terminal it complained about not finding the command. 

I have to go catch a bus.  Hopefully we can make our way through this a bit later.

Okay.  Your call. . .

The instructions in the manual will work if you follow them carefully.

Try this:

1. Make a new folder in a convenient place on your computer.
2. Extract the contents of rbutilqt-v1-1.0.7.dmg to that location.
3. Open a terminal and navigate to the folder that you created.
4. Type ls at the terminal prompt and paste the output to a message here.  (This is just to describe what files are now in that folder/directory.)

You shouldn't need root/Administrator privileges on OS X - if rbutil/ipodpatcher doesn't detect the ipod, then something else is wrong.

Firstly, can you confirm you have the older "3rd generation" ipod, and not the more recent "3rd Generation Nano" ?

 ::)  In that case maybe we should prune a chunk out of this thread to make it less confusing. 

I considered flaky USB connection as a possibility but never considered that it might not be a 3rd generation iPod.  They have quite a distinctive look.

Sorry I don't know how to post the image but yes I'm sure it 3rd generation ipod nano. Go to link that's exactly what it is (size and colour).
Flaky usb connection ? Is there a way to find out if it's flaky or not? By the way I've tried each of my usb ports or whatever you call them and they each were the same. Would it maby help if I used my mom's connector cord (she has same type of ipod)?

Rockbox does not run on the 3rd gen Ipod Nano. The front page tells this, and if you use the autodetection functionality of Rockbox Utility it will tell you too.
