I just updated to 1.2.2. when i plugged in my ipod it said "synching" for a while, so i got paranoid. when i unplugged my ipod it had all the song titles ad playlists intact left but nothing would play. It keeps on skipping to the next track. my backup is across the globe(in NEPAL-asia), i haven't restored the ipod yet. anyone know how to get around it?

I assume this update will provide that new battery meter icon as found on the other iPod releases with iTunes 7.5 recently....
EDIT: Apparently not.............

can not do that, my music existed only on my ipod. my library is empty. don't have all the songs. my backup files are in a place which is 26 hrs flight from here.
talk about screwed up situation....
Good lesson, though - don't update anything mission-critical if you don't have a handy backup.
Google and download iPodRip - it's a shareware utility that may be able to pull the songs back off of your iPod.

I also downloaded an installed 1.2.2 on my 80 GB 5.5-gen iPod - no hitches here. As of right now I see no new features - no battery indicator either. No release notes either! Hmm...
A vote for Senuti here-- it might be able to pull song files off, too.
And a vote for the mission-critical thing.
And a vote for "never, ever, unplug a device while it is working on its own system software!"
Speaking of the 5 Gen iPod, has anyone YET been able to install the new UI from the 6th Gen iPod onto the 5, 5.5 Gens? Out of curiosity....
Solution
The solution for those who upgraded to 1.2.2 and have since been unable to "see" their music on their iPods, you MUST upgrade to iTunes 7.5!
This worked for my wife's iPod 5.5G 80GB.
Cheers.

just out of curisoity I pluged my 5gen 60gb in last night, first time in over 6 months and update 1.2.2 nice.
although *safari is snappier* no real improvement.

I believe the general consensus was that this does not work because the actual hardware to run the new firmware of the 6G is different that that of the 5G.
I just wanted to report that for my 5G (60 GB), everything fine with iTunes 7.4.2 and Quicktime 7.2.0
From what I remember, it's the same firmware for the 5.5G and the 5G iPod.
Edit: Installed the update on my 5.5G 30 GB with iTunes 7.5 installed...everything is fine. Maybe it'll solve my problem of it not playing audio the first time around sometimes.
