4GB iPod Mini 2g - unable to install with utility or manually

<< < (2/5) > >>

Rockbox Utility has a System Info dialog (About / System Info), which can be helpful in tracking down issues. You might want to paste its contents here. Furthermore, autodetection works 100% reliably for Ipods. If it does not find your Ipod you'll run into installation problems later, so manually selecting it isn't a good idea (unless you know *exactly* what you're doing ;) )

   Hmmm, then there must be something odd about my setup.... Don't recall details exactly, but the auto-detection seemed to hang for a few minutes. I had to kill Rockbox. I then went in and manually selected the right iPod version and mountpoint.
   I suppose I did something wrong with the autodetection, but I'm not sure what.

   Either way, it's working fine now...

Steffjuh:
With me Ipod the Auto Detection worked fine.

However, Are you sure you downloaded the latest version of the Rockbox Utility, and not an older version?

woyciesjes:
   For me, yes, I had grabbed the latest version of the utility. Maybe it was due to the fact that the laptop I was trying it on only has USB 1.1?

Pretty much. For detecting the disk of the Ipod is accessed and several Ipod-specific things are looked after. This obviously is way slower on USB 1.1 thus you need to give quite a bit of patience for it.
