Plugging in ipod

[FKassad]

Whenever I plug it in, it restarts and uses apple software. It constantly has the "do not disconnect" screen.  I can move music onto the ipod, but the screen never goes away. Unplugging it sometimes restarts into rockbox, and other times gives me the battery with the exclamation point sign.

Ive tried holding down menu while plugging the usb in while in rockbox, but while rockbox seems to recognize the usb connection, windows does not, so I cant move music onto the ipod.

Any suggestions? Thanks.

Holding Menu just lets Rockbox charge. It doesn't actually connect to USB yet, as we don't have drivers for the hardware.

The only way to transfer songs is the other way.

Alright, but shouldnt the "Do Not Disconnect" screen go away eventually while its plugged in? I hate having to restart it using menu+select in that state.  Feel like im breaking it.

The "Do Not Disconnect" screen will stay that way as long as the Nano is connected to your comp.  Once you do the "Safely Remove Hardware" thing, it will change to "OK to Disconnect" with a big check mark.  Then when you unplug it, it will reboot into Rockbox, and sometimes it will give you the battery thing.  My Nano only gives me the battery thing about 1 out 10 times.

That did it.  Thanks.

In addition, it will do it for as long as its getting power. For instance, I charge mine sometimes by plugging it into my cable box. I get the "do not disconnect" screen all the time. I yank it out because I know there's no data access going on, so its OK. Similar kind of thing happens on my Linux box after I've umounted it.
