hey all, the gf installed the new itunes(7.1.1) and the new OSX 10.4.
the problem is that every time she plugs in her ipod(new style shuffle or old style mini) and tries to use itunes (ie. click on a playlist that is on her ipod) it crashes!? every time!! without the ipod connected itunes works fine though?!
anyone have any suggestions? it's really fucking annoying and i have tried everything that i can think of.
worst case scenario: i'm thinkin' of just reformatting her ipod shuffle to my pc and then try it (since i have never had any problems connecting it to any computer when it is pc formatted). i doubt that this will help her using it on her mac though.
is there any OSX updates or known bug reports with a fix?
okay, done. thanks for all the help in advance!

did you check to see if there were any updates for the ipod? do that before reformatting.

I doubt that this would have anything to do with an iPod/iTunes conflict, but when I updated to 10.4.9 it created major font issues (well, OS X has had font issues all along) that didn't exist before the update. It was a pain in the ass to figure out, but after turning all but my system fonts, everything worked fine.

for teh record, 10.4.9 went smoov on 2 PPC Macs over here.
regarding the ipod issue, maybe just stating the obvious but have you repaired permissions etc?
