ipod firmware 1.1.2 (1.1.3??)

Hiya

and good afternoon everyone:
My question (and I did a quick search for previous posts):

I am currently on firmware 1.1.1 for ipod "classic" 160 gb with current iTunes Version 8.0.1.
On two previous occasions, I updated to 1.1.2 which caused endless issues with the ipod; done the hard factory reset etc.

Does anyone know, is there a firmware 1.1.3 out (or higher?) and if so, has
a) anyone had problems?
b) and do I need to update to 1.1.2 first?

T.v.m. 😉

Mac Pro + Intel Macbook loadsa RAM :)) - Ancient, selfbuilt XP pro machine also, Mac OS X (10.5.5), The quad core is one beauty!!!!

I don't know about any problems or latest version number. However, if you have a problem applying a software update, instead of using the update function in iTunes, you should use the Restore button in iTunes. This will erase the iPod and install the latest version of the software.

done the hard factory reset etc.

What is a "factory reset"? If you did a Restore in iTunes already, that installs the latest version of software (not the "factory" version) and initializes it to original settings. So if the current latest version is 1.1.2 and you did a Restore, you probably have 1.1.2 installed already.

I do not have problems installing the latest update.

Thank you for your answer but you are entirely missing the point:
I DO have 1.1.1 installed (NOT 1.1.2);
my question was whether there was a NEW version out, NOT how "restore".
Alas, I cannot note your answer as remotely helpful. Thank you all the same for trying.

You would have a better change of reaching other iPod classic owners if you posted your question in the +iPod classic+ category.
