Apple released iPod Software Updater 1.0.2 on Saturday. “iPod now supports additional languages, including Spanish, Italian, and Dutch. Power management in low battery conditions has been improved.” Also, beware of canceling the installation as this has caused one user’s iPod to lock up on the iPod/Apple logo screen.
”Just to let you know that I had a perfectly working ipod until I decided to run the update. No progress was being shown on the progress bar so I decided after 5 mins to press the CANCEL” … “now stuck on the welcome screen (apple logo with Ipod Title) and the HD is running constantly” … “I believed that is that option was available that meant that it was not dangerous.” [MacNN]
Also worth noting is the “iPod Sleep Issue” mentioned on Apple’s iPod alert page:
Apple has identified a bug that can cause a small percentage of iPods to temporarily not wake from sleep when the battery reaches a low charge level. Apple has developed an iPod firmware update that fixes this bug. Apple strongly recommends that all iPod customers download and install the iPod firmware update version 1.0.2. This iPod firmware update also provides additional quality enhancements and support for additional languages, including Italian, Dutch and Spanish.
