Not sure if you guys'll be able to help, but the iPodLounge forum refuses to let me post for some bizarre reason, so here it is:

My iPods been playing up.

I didn’t have a firewire port, so I bought the USB cable and I’ve been using that. When my pay came in, I bought a firewire control card – and this is where the story unfolds.

The iPod is now plugged into it. I can access it as a drive fine, but iTunes doesn’t show it, and the update software gives the error ‘Cannot mount iPod’ – I’ve uninstalled and reinstalled the software – but nothing.

How can I fix this? It’s a 3G 20gb iPod. I’ll post anything else that needs to be known as requested. Also wasnt entirely sure what forum to put this in, but its not really a Mac problem, is it?
 
btw sorry to hear about ur ipod, i personally wanna get the 4g 40gb
 
wait ill try to find u the exact link i was lazy
 
The advice was to format the drive - which I did via the drop-down menu in the My Computer - since the updateer program wont work since it wont 'mount'.

Didnt work.

Anything else? This has bound to happened to more people than me.
 
thats what u did wrong, u deleted the os i believe let me get u the link, it hink this will fix ur problem
 
why would u want to use firewire usb 2.0 is faster

edit:unless u have 1.1
 
try moving your firewire card to another pci slot, or using that card on another pc, if it doesnt work then that means the card is messed up

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?

Impressed you have kept this alive this long EP! So many sites have come and gone. :(

Just did some crude math and I apparently joined almost 18yrs ago, how is that possible???
