What really got changed in the iPod 1.2.1 update

"1.2.1 caused the problem from #8: the appearance that a song is playing, but no audio at all. I thought it was a hardware failure, so I returned my iPod in exchange for a fresh one. Same problem. Every day. Sometimes I get a different error where I press play but the song stays stuck on 0:00 indefinitely."

IT has to be HW related, I read all this yesterday and thinking it would be the firmware, I installed rock box. And I still have songs stuck on 0:00! I can't understand this. I'm going to the shop tomorrow, and shoving it into their face.

My ipod restes :S every time when is plays a song for 30 seconds :S. Has anybody the old firmware files (13.1.2) can that somebody please mail me the files (rodney_yziek@hotmail.com).
Pleasssseee

A restart solves both of these problems, but only temporarily. When is 1.2.2 coming out?

ya the firm before this was causing my ipod not to connect properly with itunes. i reformatted on my macbook and now seems to be working fine.

I installed the new 1.2.1 and it fixed a problem that started with the last update. Before the screen started to lock but the drive would still work and sync with 1.2.0. After 1.2.1 - todays update it has never had a problem. great fix!!!!! I restored reformatted and reloaded - all the files checked through diagnostic mode and nothing helped except this update. I Like IT!

My wife's iPod didn't output any sound after the update. It "played", but no sound out of either the headphone port or the dock.

I seriously doubt Apple could care less about iPodLinux or the 0.00001% of the iPod population that has shoehorned it onto their 'pods.

It's more likely to be an unfortunate side effect that they simply didn't bother to test against.

A header file tweak, and iPodLinux will be back in business.

Sadly, after I tried to update my 5g ipod (Itunes wouldn't let me, an error 48 appeared) It was working normally for 30 minutes, until I'd got a weird "plug to the power" icon for two hours without any chances to reset.

Then the ipod died. Then I discover it's 3 weeks off warranty, so nothing I can do but wait, drain the battery and try again.

It's a shame that apple is starting to feel almost as unreliable as microsoft.

ps. you guys do a nice work, cheers.

i'm still rocking 1.1 on my 5G - both the 1.2 stop me from copying and playing new music correctly :-(

You guys crack me up. You had my attention . . . and then the punch line.
