Plugging into computer restarts Rockbox and loads disk mode (Ipod 80G)

<< < (3/6) > >>

torne:
Yes. That is expected behavior on the stable builds.

l3lackEyedAngels:
I thought I was installing 3.5 but I guess I accidentally did the current build because when I plug my fourth generation iPod into my computer with USB it goes right to "Multimedia Mode". Until I have the opportunity to install the proper 3.5, what can I do to make the iPod connect in the usual disk mode manner, so that I can drag and drop files?

saratoga:
The disk mode is just the apple firmware.  Reboot into Apple's firmware and then plug in USB.

torne:
You should be able to drag and drop files anyway. The screen that says "Multimedia Mode" is the Rockbox USB mode, which should work fine as a regular mass storage device. The "Multimedia Mode" text refers to what keyboard keys the player's buttons will simulate: this is for USB HID, a feature unrelated to file transfers.

That make sense. I'll do that when I get a chance.

When I plugged it into my laptop running Ubuntu, it didn't appear to mount. However, I noticed that I could adjust the computer's volume with the iPod's scroll wheel.
