I have a ipod that im using with a powerbook. I pluged in the ipod to a dell and its asking me for software. Will that format the ipod?

Rebuild the ipod's desktop! Seriously - go into System Preferences, choose the 'Classic' tab. Choose the 'Advanced' tab, and then click the 'Rebuild Desktop' button. a list of mo…

I tried rebuilding it however it didn't change it.

Yup, it grates, but - hey - it works!

Maybe Nudge could help you get the icon back. It's helped me a couple of times before with similar icon problems.

I know this is a totally lame question, but seeing as I Just got my first iPod (40GB photo) I'm not sure about pasting a custom icon on a mounted 'Pod. Can you do this or does it s…
