iPod Classic Firmware 1.1.2 Released

1.2 ipod software available for download.

Edit: 1.1.2

I've read various places that coverflow is faster with this version. Also, the clock / battery indicator "screen saver" has been removed from audio playback without continual backlight use.

Can anyone confirm these or any other changes since updating?

Screen Saver not gone, It just takes a while to show up.

As for coverflow.... it's still painful to use to me, and takes far too long to scroll through to the end.

Is this for the iPod Nano and Classic?

I think its for the iPod Classic

I think its for the iPod Classic

It's for the nano as well, (at least that's what I have.)

No indication as to what it does though, everything seems to be exactly the same so far.

The thing about the cover-flow art being "teh snappier" is that this is what is said pretty much of every release, and it never really is. It's a safe bet that if the iPod can't cache 20 megs of cover art for longer than a second or two (and it hasn't ever been able to so far), then it's likely a "hard" memory problem and won't be solved on this model at all.

Really disappointing that Apple didn't foresee this problem at the beginning and simply put an extra cache chip in for the cover-art though. It means the current nano "phatty" is a a stop-gap product "only barely works" and probably won't survive beyond the next iteration.

The syncing bugs, like the random inability to sync calendars and/or contacts seem to still be in effect. The iPod still says "syncing contacts and calendars" every time but nothing actually syncs. I have had this turned on since the first day of the product release and I think it's synced my contacts maybe three times and my calendars once only. :rolleyes:

The only other bug that I am aware of and have experienced lately is the thing where random songs are simply cut off after the first few bars. This bug is *not* fixed with the new release, so I am not sure what it was that *was* fixed (if anything).

All in all, both disappointing and under-whelming. :mad:

New update. Not sure what it does, seen as its more than a x.x.# release i figured more than just bugs maybe!

what size is the download?

what size is the download?

58.6 MB for 3rd Gen Nano. Downloading now.

Does this mess the screen up like the 5g update did? and when will they update 5g iPods again-the last update put a splotch of color on my screen-only when the backlight is on though. If you know how to fix that, let me know please!
