Installation / Removal > Rockbox Utility

Install Utility won't let me add the correct device path on Mac

<< < (2/2)

The /Volumes/MW IPOD is the new device from the conversion I followed on the Rockbox website.

It's a 5th gen iPod and I've double checked that by looking up the serial number on the Apple site. 80Gb

I never used Rockbox prior to doing the conversion because I knew I had to convert it to FAT 32 as stated in the install docs.

I copied down the .bin file for the 5th ten iPod and then did the dd command on the /dev/disk2 which was the device for the /Volumes/Mike iPod and then went through the disk utility stage to format the drive as FAT32 and gave it the name MW IPOD. However I did have to put it in disk mode because it just kept trying to reboot which is what it says it might do in the conversion doc.

Once mounted I checked by doing the mount command in terminal window which shows me /Volumes/MW IPOD.

I then ran rock box utility and selected 5th gen and the drop down box only has /Volumes/MW IPOD in it which all seems fine but when I press ok I get the error window saying no mount point selected.
Post Merge: December 12, 2011, 05:49:33 PMI think I've sorted it. Looks like it doesn't like the space in MW IPOD. So I reformatted it as MWIPOD and I've now got it to auto detect and to the next step.

This is strange -- a space in the mountpoint should work fine. I'll recheck that later, I definitely know it works on Linux. Perhaps there's an OS X specific bug.
