Thanks for the link - I tried installing Darwin Ports, but when I ran the installer, then ran "sudo port -d selfupdate", I just got a pile of failures:

Also, it seems like I got far enough into the process of manually reformating to FAT32 that itunes can no longer restore my ipod.

So, it looks like I need to install a c compilier? I don't have access to my OS X disks, so I can't install the xcode one that comes free with OS X. Does anyone know how I would go about installing a free c compilier that would be recognized as "acceptable" when I go to configure mtools?

I realize that this has digressed quite a ways from Rockbox, but I feel like my lack of coding skillz and I have gone past the point of no return. If anyone could help, it would be greatly appreciated.

Chronon:
kellykcb, it should always be possible -- even with a completely blank disk with wrong partitions -- to get into Disk Mode and ask iTunes to restore the device.  It's likely that you can't boot the Apple firmware right now, but you should at least be able to do this if you want to get back to a known initial condition.

kellykcb:
Sorted. Erased the disk with disk utility and was able to restore. Happily back to square one. Thanks for the help.

Chronon:
Good.   :)

Now if you're interested in installing Rockbox you can make sure you have all the necessary ingredients to do the conversion before proceeding.

Someone with expertise with OSX will have to help you with acquiring the tools you need.
