Perhaps you didn't notice HID mode, or were running some old build that didn't support it.

This is the part i don't really understand. I just told you you can disable it. Are you saying you don't know how, that you tried to disable it and failed, or something else? Try and be a little more clear . . .
moore.bryan:
HID mode can be disabled, but not Keypad Mode... there's no option for that.

They're the same thing. HID = human input device:

Wow... sorry for being so thick. Now I'm more confused. Even when I set HID Mode to "No," Keypad Mode still starts, with a new wrinkle: the device is popped in my file browser, but is uneditable. Huh?

What do you mean by "Keypad Mode"? With HID disabled you should get the same USB splash screen, except now you won't be able to use your player to click on things.

As I said before, disabling USB HID mode was unlikely to help you. Assuming you've now done that, it sounds like you've verified that the problem is somewhere else. Have you tried using a different PC, double checking if the Apple firmware works in USB mode, etc?
