Both of those things require the Computer to recognise that an iPod has been attached - alas that's not happening - so I can't update or do disc checks. I fear it's time for it to…

Thanks for the help - Didn't know about forcing into Disc Mode. Alas it didn't work - just went straight to "OK to disconnect." I don't think I'll be slamming it on the desk

Ok to disconnect with the big checkmark? Then plug it in! and do the update... Else, slam it on the desktop. Trust me. (Last resort only) Is this thing out of warranty?...

Yes, since it's 1st Gen. (circa November 2001) - it is out of warranty The 'OK to disconnect' with the tick shows even when connected.

Nice one Roy - alas my iPod has entirely given up the ghost now - won't even recharge.

I use my mac formatted ipod at work. Go to my computer get the list of hardware right click and select eject...should detatch from the computer but continue to charge.

Alexkan: Thanks for the info. I'll give it a try when i get home tonight. beadman

Wow Beadman. That is weird. Can you give a little more info on your setup and OS. Did you actually "replace" the app_info.xml file? I ran and completed 4 units with the 7…
