@ [bold]thedrizz[/bold] -- do it the "easy" way. update ur ipod to 1.2 firmware, then load the images to the ipod, directly. that means there is no up dater to worry about.

@ [bold]Tim432[/bold] -- well... what can i say? i suggest that you take your ipod to somebody who knows what they are doing. do some googlin' and find where abouts near you can offer such services. ( sorry if that soundss gay, i just didn't want to repeat the word you -- ...find where abouts near you you can find such services... )

 

ipodwizard doesnt read my ipod

 

@ [bold]ipodgurly[/bold] -- i thi8nk you may have a 5.5g ipod. how long ago did you buy it?

 

i won it about a month or a month and a half ago.

 

how do i load the images directley to my ipod?

 

never mind, refer to above question and answer please =D

 

@ [bold]thedrizz[/bold] -- its in the top right hand corner of the ipodwizard. instead of updater choose ipod.

@ [bold]ipodgurly[/bold] -- well... i don't have a clue as to what you could do (hey, that rymed) but you could try and put the ipod into disc mode (in itunes) then try it. dunno really... just a thought.

 

my ipods a 4 gig nano....what option model do i pick?

 

@ [bold]thedrizz[/bold] -- if its the old nano (non metalic case) then you pick nano

if its the new one (aluminium [luminum] case) then i don't suppose you can mode that yet

 

Lethal B, Am I missing a step somewhere? I followed your steps, "All you have left to do, is simply connect your iPod to your PC and use the "Restore" feature on the Updater to rewrite the firmware with the modified version." Am I supposed to open IPod Updater 2005-11-17? If so when I do I get a message, "invalid iPod Service version" what does this mean?

 

What does "invalid iPod Service version" mean? I can not download themes into my 60gb black ipod.

 

@ [bold]godzilla[/bold] -- first of all, why practacly repeat a question?

Secondly, i suggest that you use the correct updater

 

@Thecraigc, sorry for the double post, I don't know how to change a post once it has been posted. Do you have a link to a more updated, updater. I thought 2005-11-17 was the most recent, but I'm just a newbie to this Ipod stuff. Thanks

 

@ [bold]godzilla[/bold] -- go to itunes (itunes 7) (when the ipod is connected) and check what "software version" you have, then find out what umm... date thingy(?) that is. eg. 6-26-06 or whatever. then get a theme for that firmware.

NOTE: always ensure that the theme is for the correct updater

if the "software version" is 1.2 then you will need to write the theme directly to the ipod.

if the "software version" is 1.2 then you will need to get a theme that is 1.2.

 

hey guys, someone might have answered this but I have a 5g Video Ipod, and i was wondering is it possible to view anny kind of video files with Rockbox. if not can someone explain why, THx

 

i dont think you can. im about 99% sure. and i think its due to it not only being for the ipod.

im not completly sure though

 

@craig. Thanks for the advise, I was finally able to load a theme i nto my ipod.. Once a theme is loaded can I still make changes, to the font. if so can I use the instructions provided by Lethal?
