iPod issue - may / may not be latest 2.11 update

[AXCL]

I just connected my iPod this morning for the first time following my 2.11 update. The iPod was dead, so it was charging it prior to starting it up and running an index. Once the iPod booted, the system detected it and turned it on, but there was nothing. I didn't see it attempt to index and left it in for at least 20 min to see if it just wasn't notifying it was indexing. The MFT shows it by name, but list 0 songs, I have thousands and I've never had any issues with it in the past in any of 1.8, 2.4 and 2.8. The system thought it was playing something and wouldn't even let me switch to the radio with the iPod plugged in.

 

I'm hoping it just had something to do with a poor index build and the iPod booting while plugged in, but I've disconnected and restarted the iPod a few times, but no go. Does anyone know if there is a way to delete or rebuild your index without doing a master reset, or a setting on the iPod to cause the system to think it has been updated? I can do an update of my iPod when I get home, but wanted to have my tunes for my after work drive and I don't even know if this is the issue.

 

Anyone have similar issues before?

 

Cheers!

 

Update: I couldn't figure out any other method so I just did a Master Reset. This fixed the issue.

Sometimes that is what it takes, or pulling the fuse.

Today, I noticed that 2.11 is treating the USB devices differently. It wouldn't see my 2nd device (iPhone 4 in a cradle) That's never been an issue.

USB1 would show up with NO device name (Wilsons iPod).

 

I think they might have robbed "brain matter" from the USB ports and given them to the BlueTooth routines. My iphone 4 on iOS 5 beta 7 has been acting better than ever (however, not perfect). The new Spotify app works great!! Better than Pandora or Stitcher.

Of course my balloon sometimes bursts and I end up listening to whatever source Touch thinks I should use.

I noticed that before the reset, but it doesn't do it now. When connected, the source list would still just list USB1 or 2. When I selected it, it would randomly tell me the device name in the bottom left, but most of the time it was just USB 1 or 2. My iPod wouldn't play at all though and stated it had 0 songs, but locked up everything in the audio setup when it was plugged in. I had to unplug it just to get any other source to work or even select. It was almost like it wasn't detecting it as an iPod, just as a simple USB device, which explains why it wouldn't work.
