Ack, what a waste of money! It's definitely not worth my $50+ Cdn. It would have some use if the dock could power the iPod mini thru a cord connected to a power outlet, but since …

I noticed last night that when I plug my iPod (4G 20gb) into my iBook G4 its icon on the desktop is that of a regular disk image/usb drive. I tried it on our iMac G5 and a friend's…

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.

Try again - it may (for reasons that I don't understand) take three or four tries.

Funnily enough- the exact reverse happened with me. I have my iPod formatted under FAT32 because I use it every now and then as a portable HD. With most of the comps I encounter …

Same here with the latest iPod update. My Shuffle previously had a generic icon, except for the very first time I plugged it in. Now, after updating it, I get a more accurate Shu…

I too, got the generic disk icon for my iPod following the latest security update. It's simple to get it back, though. In Panther's terminal, execute the following command to rebui…

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.

How disappointing! My old 1st Gen Green Mini had a green icon, which was cool, but the new 2nd Gen Blue Mini has a Silver icon! c'mon Apple!

I tried all the different rebuilding suggestions, both Classic and that thing for the terminal. Nothing was working, however I tried restoring my iPod with the previous update (200…

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…

Quote: Originally posted by christ: yes, and no - in that order. But you have to do the pasting in the 'get info' window, not direct to the desktop icon. Aha. Coo…

Dear All, I think this is what you could use. My friend told me make a new .txt file with this in it -------------------------- [autorun] icon=ipod.ico --------------------------…

Just wanted to post here and say that I was happily surprised to see that there was a v1.5 update to us owners of now-vintage 1G and 2G iPods. Now we, like our more modern counter…

Wow, really? Thank you for the good news, Ruahrc. My venerable 2G 10GB is no longer my primary iPod, but it's nice to know that Apple is being a bit kinder to those of us who adopt…
