Theme issues

[Daniel90]

Hi, I have a 5g video ipod and am trying to install the 'Windows Vista Ipod Edition' theme which can be found here http://www.drivendesign.us/themes.html. I followed the readme and opened up ipodwizard and, in 'ipod' edit mode, loaded my ipod firmware. I then attempted to 'load all' of the themes pictures but after i clicked load all and navigated to the appropriate folder the program crashed and i got the send error report message. This has continued to happen. Any help on what i am doing wrong or how i can fix this issue would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

do you have the background hack 1.3.2 allready loaded in ipodwizard before you loaded the theme?

[Daniel90]

No, i dont have that loaded. Where can I download it from? All the links i've tried thusfar are dead. Thanks for the help.

This is where you are going wrong.
Instead download the following background hack (link below) and instead of 'iPod' edit mode select 'Firmware File' edit mode. Once you download this file below, click on "Open Firmware" next to that edit mode drop down box.

From here you can follow the instructions to go over top of this base hack.

(You may want to keep an original copy of this background hack once downloaded so you can try different themes on it.)

Ok, ive got the hack and heres what i have done thus far:
1. Open ipod wizard
2. put into 'firmware file' edit mode
3. Open the background hack firmware
4. click load all and select image folder for my vista them

problem is that none of the images get loaded...a select the folder and click ok and the window disappears (as would be expected) but as i scroll through the index list i can't see any of the images that were supposed to be loaded. Any help is greatly appreciated.

did you load the images from the folder called "images" or just the main "ipod vista" folder?

[Daniel90]

I loaded them from the folder titled 'pictures'.

[israel102]

go to prefrences in ipodwizard. is "old pictures index saving system" checked? i remember there was something about that. for me its unchecked

[Daniel90]

Ok, the images load when I have that box checked??? But when i go to load the resources it says 'No resources saved!' after i select the files?

ok u did something seriously wrong LOL.
im starting to think that your ipod doesnt match the firmware/theme your using.
do you have a 5g or 5.5g ipod?
after you establish that, download the right firmware here
