Hi Al,

I believe the problem with regard to powering off is Apple's firmware. I
have 32G video with 3.7.1 on it and my wife has a 160G classic without
Rockbox on it. She has the same problems I have with rebooting the iPod.
We've found that when the iPod won't power down/reboot, if you scroll around
the menu a little and try again the iPod will respond.

When my iPod is powered off and I connect it to my computer, it always boots
up into Apple's firmware. However, if the iPod is on and Rockbox is running
before I connect it to the PC it will continue to use Rockbox for the USB
connection.

Regards,
jeff
