Help please - ipod patcher
Mt_Gamer:
Since a couple of hours I am trying to put Rockbox on my iPod (nano 2nd gen). Everything should work fine, but when I open iPod patcher, it says:
"/Users/EloiBonneville/Desktop/ipodpatcher ; exit;
ipodpatcher 5.0 with v4.0 bootloaders (v1.0 for 2nd Gen Nano)

Press ENTER to exit ipodpatcher : "
My ipod IS connected, I enabled disk use, and i don't understand why!
Please help me (I am on a Mac OS X) :'(
saratoga:
Any reason you're not using the automatic method in the manual? It's probably a lot easier than the manual way (although I've never tried it).
If you really want to do the manual way, the log you posted says permission was denied. Are you running the program as root?
Mt_Gamer:
well, the automatic way doesn't work either. This message keeps appearing on the program:
"The following errors occurred:
Mountpoint does not exist
You need to fix the above errors before you can continue."
And when I try to select a different folder location, the only folder that appears is an unexisting folder.
Why?
Mt_Gamer:
OK! ;D the automatic mode should work, but how can we access the ipod with RockboxUtility? (because when I try to install, it says:" Could not open iPod:Permission denied")
Thank you!
bluebrother:
Please provide more information. Which version of OS X are you using? Are you sure your Ipod is a Nano 2G? Did you use autodetection in Rockbox Utility? Also, please provide the output of About / Troubleshooting / System Trace after an unsuccessful installation attempt.
