Anyone who has installed the new update (3.1.3): any issues with it?

yeah I installed it but when it restored my internet wasn't working even though I had full wifi signal. If this happens, just reset your router by unplugging it for a minute or two and it should work fine.

I must also say that I had NO other issues with the 3.1.3 update except for the break in the iPod integration with my particular head unit. All other aspects of 3.1.3 were fine. However, this break in iPod integration was enough for me to warrant the backdate and I saw no other advantage to running 3.1.3 as opposed to 3.1.2 as it "fixed" nothing for me but instead, disabled a well used feature.

Ive been trying to fix mine for 7hrs, reinstalling and removing system files and stuff but still got same problem. My iPod just shows connect to itunes but nothing happens when I connect, it says " Apple mobile device (recovery mode) doesn't have a driver oh and typical that the warranty expired too 😟

Have you tried restoring to factory settings within iTunes?

I got it too work. I was having trouble with playing my music, it would play and then 20 sec later it would crash. I ended up making sure all my items were synced, apps, podcast, pic, etc and it now seems to work. go figure, hopefully it stays this way.

Some, but not all of my smart playlists are now empty. It may be the "genre" marker, as someone else noted. But why is that? Everything else seems okay so far

Got the same problem. i chose "download and install", and now it won't even restore.

im already using itunes 9.0.3 and iphone OS 3.1.2. i just bought this last week and this happens!

* +===A P P L E=== + * isn't anyone gonna acknowledge this issue? Please help ASAP!!!

I installed the new version and now several of my playlists will not sink to my ipod touch. The songs show in itunes and on the ipod in the "songs" and "artist" list on the ipod, but the playlist is empty. Any ideas? Tried smart playlist, but that did not work ether. I have restored the ipod....still no luck.

My iPod freezes whenever I press the lock/power button or manage to unlock the device. If I play songs for about 3 or 4 minutes, a spinning thing, that you see whenever something is loading, shows up. After the spinning thingy of intricate horror stays there for a certain amount of time, my iPod resets or turns itself off. Very annoying, since I can't listen to music!

Try this tip for unfreezing the iPod:

1) Freeze your iPod...
2) Hold the power and home buttons down *very hard* for a second.
3) Perform a victory dance.

4) Watch in horror towards the iPod as it freezes again... and again...

Three Js, you've been given advice which you refuse to follow. So posting here is adding nothing useful to the thread.

You are not alone in this one - I am experiencing exactly the same thing, empty "smart" playlists on iTouch, but appear OK in iTunes. Rebooted, synched, restored, deleted & remade playlists then synched again. Got more of them after remaking them, but not all.

what's new with version 3.1.3???

Apple says:

"This update for iPhone and iPod touch contains bug fixes and improvements, including the following:

Improves the accuracy of the reported battery level on the iPhone 3GS

Resolves an issue where third party applications would not launch in some instances

Fixes a particular bug where some apps crash while using the Japanese Kana keyboard. "

I updated. And no problems so far. 😉

I use a 2 step process, download it first and then install from that download rather then just hitting the "Install now" radio button.

Where did you find the download to do separately, Pamela? Thanks!
