id really like to experience that. I can confirm that no, it's not possible to do some iPods on 1.5.0 and Macos.

The permission denied error is for installing the ipod bootloader on Windows:

FWIW, installing the ipod bootloaders has already required root access since you're doing low level writing to a disk (malware risk). 

Jet Alone:
So the log says its a Windows bug that was fixed and not for macOS?
Silly question as you posted the link....


Sudo makes no changes here. Intel based Mac.

Jet Alone:
running it this way DOES work, IF you have the iPod formatted correctly.

cd /Applications/RockboxUtility.app/Contents/MacOS
sudo ./RockboxUtility
