Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
Hi,

I've just tried to start the iPodDisk and it says me my Snow Leopard could
be older than Tiger ;).

Cheers,
Janos

Yes I have the same problem iPodDisk won't work on Snow Leopard - I get the 
message that it requires 10.4 or 
later......

Fixed!

You can apply the patch yourself without recompiling from source.

Modify line 23 of ./iPodDisk.app/Contents/MacOS/iPodDisk so that

echo $osxver | grep '^10\.[45]'

turns into

echo $osxver | grep '^10\.[456789]'

I've gone ahead and recompiled against the Snow Leopard SDKs, and the most 
recent 
versions of the supporting libraries.  If you're running Snow Leopard, the 
attached 
.dmg should do the trick.  Note that PPC support is not included, while 64-bit 
mode 
does not work due to numerous upstream bugs in MacFUSE.

The updated source tree has also been attached, should the project maintainer 
wish 
to merge these patches back into the main branch.

I downloaded the new stuff but it keeps failing to start, and says I should 
report
the outputs from the terminal.

I couldn't get the beta 2 to work, but I downloaded the older one and made the 
change
to line 23 and it worked. This is definitely one of my favorite apps

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
how do you modify line23?
can you open the application in text editor?

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
Beta 2 fails for me also, applied the patch manually with the help of 0xED [ 
http://www.suavetech.com/0xed/0xed.html ] and am happy to report iPoddisk 
successfully launches under 
10.6.1.

If you rights click (ie ctrl click for mac) the application and select "Show 
Package
Contents" it will open up a new menu where you can find "iPodDisk" under the 
MacOS
folder. If you open that file in txt edit you can modify line 23 and then hit 
save
and it should work.

hi - I tried to change the code, but needn't do it as it has already got

# check against OS X version
osxver=`sw_vers -productVersion`
echo $osxver | grep '^10\.[456789]'

now "funny" enough I still get the message that I require higher OS? (to be 
complete
I am running Snow Leopard on a 3 week old machine. 

any ideas would be greatly appreciated

I did locate the "Ipodisk" in the package content, but when I click on it, it 
opens
in Terminal and NOT in Text Edit. When I try to open from Text Edit, Text Edit 
can't
locate the file. What is the trick here ? I'd be grateful for any help...

Original comment by anamy...@gmail.com on 10 Dec 2009 at 5:16

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
Just to be sure anamythe, when you went to the package content did you go to the
"MacOS" folder, ctrl click the "iPodDisk" file and choose open with in the drop 
down
menu where you would select text edit.

If your problem is that when you choose "open with" the only option it gives 
you is
terminal, did you try going to "other" and picking txt edit from the 
applications menu?

I made the change but it wont let me save.  It keeps saying The ipoddisk 
document could not be saved the 
volume is read only, trying saving the file to another volume.

Original comment by BCS...@gmail.com on 19 Dec 2009 at 2:46

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
BCS911 : make the edit and save the file to your local volume, like "Downloads" 
or 
"Desktop."  Then drag that file "IPodDisk" to your "Applications" folder and 
run it while 
your IPod is connected, and that should work.

Try the attached file.

I've the same problem. Recently bought the MacBook Pro, updated to Snow Leopard 
and
when I tried to load iPodDisk it said I needed a 10.4 or later version Mac. I 
went in
and changed the code to my ipodDisk on TextEdit (line 23) - simple and easy. I 
had 
to update my MacFUSE to the beta version (for some reason the 2.0 version won't
install). I plug in my Ipod, but now I get an error message saying 'iPodDisk 
failed
to start. Please report this with the outputs of running / Applications / 
iPodDisk
from the Terminal, thanks. Advice / suggestions most welcome.

It worked for me! Thanks! One question though, does anyone know of a program 
that can
add music from another itunes library onto an ipod without losing everything I
already have on that ipod? I don't believe the ipoddisk can do that... Thanks 
for the
help!

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
to socalcanuck, you can do it with iTunes if you set your ipod settings to 
"manual"
and then just click and drag from their library. If you sync the ipod it will 
wipe
everything though, so you can only click and drag

FOR ME, IT ISNT LINE 23, AND IT ALREADY DISPLAYS: 

echo $osxver | grep '^10\.[456789]' 

AND NOT 

echo $osxver | grep '^10\.[45]'

IN ADDITION, I ALSO CAN'T SAVE AND RETURNED A READ ONLY ERROR AS 
WELL...HEEEELLPPPPPP! 

BELOW IS THE UNMODIFIED TEXT FOR THE FIRST TWENTY SOMETHING LINES.

Works for me.
What I did was...

1) Download iPodDisk-2.0b1.dmg from 
http://code.google.com/p/ipoddisk/downloads/list
2) Drag it to my Applications
3) Open /Applications/iPodDisk.app/Contents/MacOS/iPodDisk using xCode
4) Change line 23 to echo $osxver | grep '^10\.[456789]'
5) Launched iPodDisk and worked perfectly.

Thanks for the tip to get it working.

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
Thanks for the tip - perhaps a simpler workaround is just to comment out the 
whole OS
X version check part of the code, starting with "# check against OS X version" 
and
ending with "fi".  Put a # in front of each of the 8 lines of code.

# check against OS X version
#osxver=`sw_vers -productVersion`
#echo $osxver | grep '^10\.[45]'
#if [ $? -ne 0 ]
#then
#  display_warning_dialog "Sorry, iPodDisk requires OS X 10.4 or later"
#  exit 1
#fi

Not a very forward thinking design, coders!  A future-proof method would only 
fail
for versions 10.0 - 10.3 and let any future versions proceed.  I suppose they
presumed they would have released a newer version by the time 10.6 came out.

so i did some more noodling, to anyone who is stuck, the trick for me was 
downloading bocca13's code above 
and replacing the existing ~/iPodDisk code in textedit.

thanks a lot for the help everyone.

After all the steps, when I launched the IpodDisk application, I was also asked 
for
installing "MacFuse" software. Here you find it:
http://macfuse.googlecode.com/files/MacFUSE-2.0.3%2C2.dmg
No problem: after MacFuse installation all is ok and IpodDisk works perfectly. 
MANY THNKS!!

Hi I tried all the ways of doing this written on this thread.

After I change the file in any loaction, 

when I drag to the applications folder the Icon for Ipod disk has a "no entry 
sign" 

what exactly does this mean ... because the file will just not load or do 
anything
... and after a while causes my whole MAC to hang up big time!

I am having the same issue.  I am running os 10.6.4 , using the most updated 
version with the changed code and the program worked once but now no longer 
opens.  If I try the earlier version it tells me it requires os 10.4 or higher.

BoiseBlues, 
Error -51 looks like a permission issue. In terminal check the permissions or 
use Disk Utility to verify / repair permissions.

Hello All. I've reinstalled ipoddisk three times, and applied the code several 
times...then when I try to run the program it tells me that I'm in "disk mode" 
and that there is no ipod connected.  I also downloaded this MacFUSE program to 
get Ipoddisk to work and I have no idea what it does or how it affects things 
in general.  Perhaps I'm in over my head here but the instructions seemed 
simple enough.
