When i double click the exe, it load another Terminal and this time, the instruction inside the Terminal requested that i reformate my ipod to FAT 32 before i can proceed to install the content from this exe file. I think i am doing it wrong. I should not click the exe file and I should be getting a number after typing “ipodpatcher” in the Terminal. But instead nothing happen. Curiousity and the process is really a challenge. I am learning. Hope you can help. Hi Simon
