I've plugged in the iPod via USB and it won't show up on my XMB.  Does anyone know how I can get it to work?  It's really been frustrating me, since it's not recognized it since I got the PS3 (back in Nov).

casale is your ipod hdd formated as NTFS ?

if so your ps3 wont recognize it because onlt FAT32 is compatible with linux...

 

so formatting your ipod hdd to fat32 will let your ps3 recognize your ipod
