I have searched through the posts but i don't think anyone has meantioned this one.
Lets assume i have a freshly restored (using the ipod updater software) ipod. I connect it up and synch my songs from MC to the ipod and everything is fine. I disconnect the ipod and all the songs are on my ipod. But if i reconnect and disconnect again (i am unsure how many times this step is repeated or if it differs) all the playlists and songs are seemingly gone from the ipod menu.
When i reconnect, MC says "Error reading iPOD database".
However, all the files still exist in the iPod_Control/Music folder on my ipod.
The one strange thing i do notice is that the iPod_Control folder date modified field has changed to 23/4/2009 5:24am (and no there is nothing wrong with my system clock.
The only way i can find of fixing this is restoring the ipod using the ipod updater software again and resynching my tunes from MC. However the same problem inevitably occurs every time.
I'm not exactly sure when this problem started but i'm pretty sure it was on or after built 11.0.109, and still exists in the 11.0.117 build.
Anyone else experiencing this?
