new ipod updater not working!

Hello-



I just downloaded the new iTunes update (to 4.5) and accompanying iPod update. After updating iTunes, when I plug in my iPod, it appears as a volume on the desktop (even though I haven't set it to firewire disk mode) and a dialog pops up in iTunes: "iTunes has detected a software update for the iPod. Would you like to install it now?" I click yes, and it launches the updater app -- which tells me that "No iPod is attached"! I've tried rebooting to no avail. Has anyone else encountered this problem?



Oh, I should add that my iPod is the original old-school 5 GB model. Never had any trouble with it before.

    Same deal here as well. I'm sure a fix is on the way.

    Try this:



    Delete iPodDriver.kext in extension.

    Reboot

    Install iTunes 4.5

    Reboot



    That worked for me.
