1.0.3 :: Share Your Experiences

hi all,
updated some few hours back, it all seem to improve, performance-wise. bt i still have this settings bug, where my settings resets to the default settings anytime i do a reset. do any1 also have this???

I also noticed some other fault...i have one podcast in my itunes bt it doesnt show up in ipod under podcast but its in recently played playlist in the video section...any1 know what might be wrong????

Apart from the settings bug...its working flawlessly

Better get the pitchforks and fire!

This is a definate 1.0.3 bug, and very frustrating.

APPLE (surely you monitor these forums?) fix this NOW!!!

Did it also fix the alarm clock problem? My 80 GB iPod Classic has never worked with the alarm clock. It always resets either the date or the time whenever I've set everything up. Good thing I have a back up.

is there any way to revert firmware back to 1.0.2? I just want to play my videos on my video dock. I have tried deleting the iPod_25.1.3.ipsw files but it forces me to check online for updates when I restore, anyone know a way around that?

How could that be intentional, my Sonic Impact v55 won't play video with 1.0.3 software update. What a rip-off! Makes my investment in a player a complete waste. What is Apple going to do about it?

One almost never sees GOOD news on these forums, but . . .

GREAT, GREAT NEWS HERE! The On-The-Go playlist feature is working perfectly under 1.0.3! However, it DID take the tandem of "revert to factory settings" and a complete re-installation of my library on the 'Pod to effect the repair.

But, was THAT minor inconvenience ever worth it!! My iPod Classic 160 is now, officially, the best player in the stable (three other 'Pods now)!

THANKS, Apple!

Hello everybody,
some experiences with the ipod classic 160GB

After the update my ipod classic 160GB stops playing after a while when docked in the jbl radial micro speakerdock.
This was also an issue with the previous firmware.....

Also the ipod only connects to my clarion max973HD in my car after i give the ipod a reset.
This was not an issue with the previous firmware.....

Hopefully these isues will be solved in the next firmware?

Hi! After switching from FAT to HFS+ for updating my ipod from the macbook, i connected it to my linux box and synced some songs. Then saw that counter with 0 songs and thought that the itunesdb got corrupted somehow. Then i retransferred all the songs (took 4 hours, as they needed some transcoding). I wish i hadnt trusted that counter 🙂.

So, Apple decides that only their accessories can work? What's not wrong about that? I mean come on, isn't it enough that we spend $300+ for these units? I and my wife both had the new 80gig classics and we just purchased the Pioneer D3 Nav/Entertainment system for our truck. I searched both the Apple and Pioneer sites for connectivity to the iPod. Both said yes, so we purchased the iPod video cable to be installed as well, an additional $40.00. So we get it all installed and my iPod video worked for one day...until I installed the 1.0.3 firmware, and now it won't. My wifes iPod is still the 1.0.2 and it works. Everyone says there is some sort of chip in the stuff that will not allow the iPods to be used with any other company's cables. Why? It's not right that Apple creates this product and then makes it so you must buy only their accessories. It would be like me paying for my iPod with a check that they can only cash at one bank. So...my next issue is, if this is the case why the $%#$^ doesn't Apple sell the video cable for the Nav systems? I would really like to watch my iPod videos, that by the way I PAY for, on the system I was led to believe I could use. And yes, I do blame Apple, it IS their fault. And NO, I'm not saying they set out to screw me over but in the end they did...

80gig classic ver 1.0.3

I noticed that whenever I turn off the ipod and bring it back on, I have to wait 8 to 10 seconds to be able to scroll (up or down) through menu items because the clickwheel is not responding (e.g. music, albums, songs, cover flow, etc..). Do you experience the same lag?

Same iPod, same firmware version but less than half the lag. I guess it may depend on the library size (mine is about 1200+ tracks, 230 albums). There is definitely a lag but at least for me it is 3-4 seconds.

Ok, Since firmware 1.0.3 doesn't seem to allow the Classic to play video on approved Navigation Systems (Pioneer D3) even with the $40 EXTRA cable, I wanted to retore to 1.0.2, and I followed instructions on this forum but alas, it restored BACK to the dreaded 1.0.3. Any ideas? I would really like to use this expensive media player on my new expensive Nav system like I was told I could...And yes, I know...Apple is a good and honest company. But they sure seem to like to chop us off at the knees.

There still is the continued VIdeo Playlist Bug after the 1.0.3 software update. If you create a video playlist with videos (not music videos or video podcasts, but most other mp4 or m4v files), it will show up in both the audio playlist and video playlist menus. In the video playlist menu, all files open/play fine. In the audio playlist menu, the video playlists are listed as having "0 SONGS" and when the playlist is clicked, the ipod hangs on a white screen until you press menu to return back to the audio playlist menu... I have confirmed this on my 160GB classic and on another 80GB classic. I have contacted apple via their "feedback" links, but who knows what happens after that...

it is happening to me too

Try changing the ipod's drive letter with Disk Management.

Right-click on My Computer icon on your Desktop -> Manage -> find Disk Management on the left side of the windows.
Then find the ipod, right-click it and choose "Change Drive Letter and Paths", click Change and choose another (free) letter. Click OK to every question/window and close Disk Management.

I've solved the issue a couple of times with this trick.
Only for windows...
