I updated to iTunes 7 (big mistake).

And had all sort of issues getting it to be seen and to update etc etc.

Well I found a solution eventually in the comment in a blog here

1. Make sure that you have these services running
[control-panel->Admin. Tools ->services]

Network DDE DSDM
Network DDE
ClipBook
Routing and Remote Access
Terminal Services
Server

2. stop the iPodService [same location as (1)]
3. Connect your Ipod 5th gen
4. Start iTunes7.0 [automatically starts iPodService]
5. Update the new s/w in iPod.
this should not take more than 3 mins. after that, it will restart ur ipod. ur ipod s/w is updated as seen in itunes7.0.

It has worked for me in that I was able to update the iPod ... now to see if I can turn all that crap back off again and still sync ok.

You're so fukken iGeneration

Whose iPod takes frucken 10 mins to update an only slightly or not at all changed music library? It just sits there "updating" for about 10 mins, chewing up CPU usage.

They need a Windows skin for for iTunes. the skinning is so frucken slow and laggy.

Thats cos ipods suck
cos they are apple

zune ftw!

I want a zune dammit.

Haha MS is gonna pwn apple

that syncing show blows donkeys balls, it's much less painless to turn it off and update manually
