---New 1.1 firmware could brick iPod Classic !--

My classic 80Gig is bricked after the patch as well. I got the message saying the update was complete and the unit would restart, but it never restarted. Several attempts to reset it leads to nothing. Being a new Ipod owner I have a scheduled appointment with a 'genius' at our apple store today.

It's bricked! NOOOOOO

Well my iPod works since I updated but the sound quality sounds worse than before. QUite a few people thought the sound was crap initially; I didn't but since the 1.1 update the volume limit seems to be reduced even more than before and the bass seems to have gone completely. And if you listen at a loud volume evel, when you switch off your player you get white noise coming through the earphones. Not good.

I have to say, the apple store here took real good care of me.

I sat down with the genius and he asked me what happened. I told him I attempted the 1.0.3 to 1.1 firmware update and after I got the 'successful' message and the notification of the iPod restart it never came back up regardless of what I tried. He tried a normal reset himself then said "Ok, hang on a second." About 30 seconds later he walked out of the back room with a brand spanking new iPod for me. He also gave me a set of "Power support" crystal film set, since my ipod had a screen protector on it (worth about $15.00 for the set he gave me.)

All I need to do now is resync when I get to the house.

It was a great expierence for me at the apple store and their customer service.

All fine with my update. Wonder if 1.1 got some sound quality improvement at last...

If you don't mind me asking, did you purchase your bricked ipod through apple, or a reseller like bestbuy, target etc..
thanks

ok thanks. Just asked because a few weeks ago my ipod would randomly disconnect/reconnect. Took it to the local apple store and they deemed the ipod usb port defective, as it did the same thing when they tried a new usb cable. Supposedly they didn't have any "parts" in stock (apparently they call refurbs parts)and told me to take it to Target, where I bought it. As I had purchased it less than a month ago I was able to exchange it, but it made me wonder, if target wasn't able to help me, if they would have swapped it out or had me send it in.

I bought mine at Wal-Mart (an authorized reseller), and had the reciept with me.

No problem with the update on this end. Of course I was using Mac OS X rather than my Vista machine.

Hi i just got dune updating the new softwer 1.1 and i have to say sofar so good. No porblems i don't want to jenks my self. Good lukc to the rest of you thow.

Not sure if I'm having the same problem...
I have a 4th gen ipod photo (20gb). It told me to reset it, in the middle I got a 1418 notice, I followed the instructions for that. Then I got a funny looking do not disconnect... even after itunes was closed. It did nothing, till it finally ran out of power and died. I then plugged it in, got a funny battery symbol that meant it was out of power... it never recharged. Finally, it just plain died.

it's a brick now... I don't live anywhere near an apple store (2.5 hours away). What do I do now? Plus mine's like four years old so I doubt they'll do anything anyway. This is making me sick.

Earilier in this thread you can see what happened to me.

I just wanted to post back and say the 1.1 update worked flawlessly on my replacement.

yeah but your was pretty much new, right? I don't see anyway they'll do anything like that for my 4 year old Ipod they killed
