Ain't modern technology wonderful? Yup! For the record I saw quite a lot of the same errors you did. So even on a working iPod some upgrade/restore errors are "normal". If you look in ~/Library/Logs/iPod Updater Logs/ you'll find some more detailed log files. -- Chris

The update doesn't use the Internet for much - mostly downloading the thing, which was fast and problem-free, and then some sort of online validation - also quick. -- Chris

I think it mostly depends on how much you've got on the device. I'm using 28GB or so on mine and it took 2 hours. My wife only uses a couple of gigs on hers and it took a bit less than an hour. On the plus side, nothing broke, no data was lost or anything. -- Chris |
