[Llorean]

What part of the IpodInstallation page are you having problems with?

If you ask specific questions, it will make it easier to help.

[dupontracer248]

[Llorean]

Have you read the IpodInstallation page in the wiki?

[dupontracer248]

[Llorean]

If you've read the IpodInstallation page, it tells you what to download. You've been here and read it?

i tried it dont understand, can somebody guide me thru it, do you have aim or yahoo?

[Llorean]

The page tells you exactly what to type, and what programs you need to download. It really can't be given much simpler than that.

What exactly do you want?
The page tells you exactly what to type. The only thing a human being could do more for you is to come to your house and type it in for you.

well im not a nerd, i cant get command prompt thingy to work

[Llorean]

Well, unfortunately it can only be installed by way of the command prompt.

The instructions tell you *exactly* what to type in the command prompt, as long as you change directories to the folder where you've downloaded those files.

C:\rockbox directory (type C: and press enter, then type "cd \rockbox" and press enter).

[Llorean]

Assuming you saved the files in C:\rockbox, just type

Code: [Select]

cd C:\rockbox
