Re-read what he said - this is nothing to do with folder/directory.

It is ROCKBOX not Rocksoft, and you should have a .rockbox directory, not .rocksoft.  He is not being pretentious, the name of the directory is very important.  I honestly wonder how people manage to get to the website whilst not knowing the name... :)

This does work. Definitely. Simply because it's hard-coded in the Apple bootloader that runs on every boot. We don't change this and can't change this. The FAQ holds this information too, and there is also a website at apple describing this. Please check the FAQ first.

Second, it would be quite interesting under which circumstances Rockbox Utility failed. That is especially the information provided in the About / System Info dialog.

I meant rockbox. I just mistyped because I was freaking out. Sorry if I misread. I thought he sounded arrogant and as a woman working in IT I tend to mouth off if I feel I am being spoken down to. It happens far too often.

Thank you for your help. The manual install was a success!!! :)

Now I'm going to try Foobar 2000 as my iTunes alternative and see how I like it, since it seems to be the one that's most recommended with Rockbox players.

P.S.

NO it didn't work for about an hour of trying. Then I left it on hold tried it again and it worked. Why would I make that up? For kicks?

Well, it's something that *does* work. The timing for pressing the buttons can be a bit tricky, but it *does* work. It's apple code, and even apple describes this mode. Just claiming it doesn't work doesn't make the functionality not work, magically appear or be wrong.

Still, I'd be interested to know under which exact circumstances Rockbox Utility failed.

devilla:
It didn't seem to log anything, although it successfully installed the boot loader only to the device "E".
