The first few times I connected my 3rd generation, 40gig ipod to my TR2 via the firewire port everything worked fine. Suddenly, it no longer works. Windows no longer recognizes the ipod.

Can anyone confirm that the TR’s firewire port works with an ipod? There is a lot of talk over at ipodlounge about firewire ports on Windows PCs that do not work with ipod - so I thought I’d ask you all for your experiences.

Thanks!

i have a 2g ipod - no firewire - and usb 2.0 works great.  is that an option for u?

side note: downloaded 4.9 itunes and latest ipod update, did a restore on the ipod and that fixed a lot of problems that i was having, but erased all prior software and music. also just bought a shuffle in singapore and love it. i think the 30 gig ipod will be retired as a backup hd.
