ipod not longer goes into disk mode when usb charging

(1/5) > >>

I plugged my usb cable into my 60 gig ipod photo while it was playing a few minutes ago.  It started charging, but did not go into disk mode, which was great.  However, I then wanted to dump some files on it, and my computer wasn't recognizing it as a hard drive.  I unplugged the player, stopped playing my music, then plugged in the usb cable again.  Even when music was no longer playing, it started charging without going into disk mode.  I then shut the ipod completely down, plugged in the usb cable, and it booted up into the regular menu again, not disk mode.  Is there something I need to do to have the player go into disk mode by default again when plugging the usb cable in?  I know how to manually get into disk mode, but just found this behavior strange, so I thought I'd post here for others thoughts.

I've check the manual, as well as poked around the forums via search, and did not find anything, so it would be appreciated if we just skipped over the typical "Try reading the manual or searching forums" remarks.

I don't know the answer to your problem, but

Chronon:
Is it possible that your cable went bad?  Does it connect properly if you manually enter Disk Mode (or boot the Apple firmware)?  If so, then it sounds like a bug.

crescentfresh:
No, the cable's not bad.  It recognizes when I plug it in, and puts the little charging icon in the top left corner.  I just went manually into disk mode and plugged the cable in as well, and it's charging this way now too.

Hi, everyone.

I actually seem to have the same problem(?) on my 5G (60 gig) iPod Video.

Haven't used it for a few days, wanted to update to the latest build, but it didn't boot into disk mode anymore.. whenever I plug in the cable, it boots into the Rockbox menu and stays there, charging.

Manually booting into disk mode works. The player was running r19824, I have updated it to the latest build now, but it still doesn't automatically go into disk mode on plugging the cable in. Is this intended behavior?
