I just picked up a dual G5 and I want to get my iPod working with it. I plugged it into the FireWire port but it only mounts as a hard drive... iTunes doesn't seem to recognize it at all. I can't find any indication that iTunes sees it at all. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
Jon

You might need to format the iPod using the software updater.
Here is the iPod FAQ, and here is the software updater

BUT, check which version of the iPod you have before doing the update, as the iPod software V2 only works with the dock model iPods.
iMac, Intel Core-Duo 2GHz, 2GB, 250GB, OS X 10.4
PowerBook 12", 867MHz, 640MB, 60GB, OS X 10.4
iMac G3, 333MHz, 288MB, 6GB, OS X 10.3
iPods: 3G iPod, 1G mini, 1G shuffle, 2G nano
