Has anyone had trouble with iPod software 3.0. I installed it but it said something about v2.2 resisting it or something. Either way it didn't install. Is there a way to go back and try to reinstall it??

couldnt force quit... nada...

once it came back up i got the message again... this time it worked
fine... and im at version 2.2... previously i was at 2.1...

I went to the apple site and tried again. It updated fine, but apparently 2.2 is the most up to date, not 3.0. What is 3.0, why would the call it 3.0 if its not 3.0? Because you know it makes a world of difference.

They never called it 3.0. This iPod update is called "iPod Update 4-28-2004". Apple never said it was or called it 3.0.

Apparently, there have been reports of other iPod users trying to install iPod Software 2.2 and having it refuse to install/be reported as iPod Software 3.0. Usually it only does it once - trying again makes it work as expected. I did not experience this issue, but I know there are other members of these forums who did - they were just as baffled. It's nothing more than an annoying bug in the iPod software updater.

Okay, I getting ticked now. Software update downloaded the iPod updater for me and so I mounted my iPod to update it. The updater starts up and asks me if I want to so I say yes and type my password. As soon as I hit 'okay', the iPod icon on my desktop disappears and an error message appears saying I have to mount the iPod on the desktop for it to work. No matter what I try, it always makes my iPod desktop icon disappear right after I type in my password and then I get the error message saying to mount the iPod. Any suggestions?

Check your log file, it was referred to as version 3.0
