I just installed Rockbox on my 7th gen 160gb and I'm having some issues that hopefully someone can help me resolve!
Rockbox seems to working fine on my iPod, I can open it up and it runs smoothly. When I plug it into my desktop it shows up under "Devices and Printers" as "Apple Mobile Device USB Driver;" however, it doesn't show up at all under My Computer so I can't open it up to drop in files. I tried updating iTunes, closing all apple related processes, and restarting the iPod while connected and nothing has worked.
I plugged the iPod into my laptop, which doesn't have iTunes, and it popped up under My Computer. I was able to open it up once, but it kept freezing and taking forever to open. I tried to install iTunes on the laptop to get the iPod driver in hopes that it would work, but right after installing, the iPod does not show up anymore under My Computer.
As far as I can tell, I've tried everything under the "My computer is not recognizing my Rockboxed iPod Classic!" section at the start of this thread.
Does anyone know of any solution to this?
Thank you!
In my experience it's a bit hit or miss with showing up under My Computer. It's also unpredictable in the daily builds recently, so I'm guessing there is a lot of work going on (and hopefully Rockbox 3.14 will be released soon with full support for the Classic in the Rockbox Utility
What did help me before was to delete the Rockbox settings in the Emcore menu. And finally, the most reliable work around for me is to boot the fallback image from the Emcore menu, and then connect to a PC. It takes a bit of extra time, but I can at least access the iPod this way.
