I'm happy that the iPod mini doesn't have a color screen or any other stuff that you don't need. I prefer 18 hour battery life over the capability to view photos. If I wanted to s…

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…

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 --------------------------…

I have 2 iPods a 5GB 1st Gen and a 10GB 2nd Gen I have a G5 that I have been using these on. Running OS X 10.3.8 Now, neither will mount on my computer, I have tried resetting th…

A couple of points: 1. You don't mention resetting the iPods themselves - do this just in case if you haven't 2. Don't do the system update with the iPods connected. David
