Try unplugging the iPod, rebooting it into Apple firmware, lock the iPod keypad with the hold switch, then plug it back into the computer. Rockbox defaults to an external HD and an external keyboard thing (like mouse, media control, web browser controller) when it's plugged into a computer. Make sure the iPod is in Apple firmware and the hold switch is set to hold before it's plugged into a computer. * Hi Jammit, It seems that I cannot boot into the Apple firmware. The hold button is the six o'clock position isn't it? And the select is the center button, and the menu is the 12 o'clock position? But it keeps booting into Rockbox.
