I just updated my Mac to OS X <a href=\"http:\/\/docs.info.apple.com\/article.html?artnum=25524\" title=\"About the Mac OS X 10.2.8 Update\">10.2.8<\/a>, and on restart, discovered a bug fix.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve had an issue for a while now with my iPod where if I restart the machine with the iPod plugged in, it doesn&#8217;t behave correctly after the restart. It will mount to the Finder fine, but iTunes and iSync don&#8217;t recognize it at all. The only fix is to unmount and unplug it, shut down the machine, and then unplug the machine&#8217;s power cord and let it sit for five minutes before powering it on again &#8212; apparently this will clear a frozen FireWire port.<\/p>\n<p>I forgot to unplug the iPod after installing the update tonight, though, and was pleasantly surprised to see iSync and iTunes launching after login, indicating that they saw the iPod without a hitch.
