[QUOTE="palmfish, post: 4511427, member: 589737"] Yes, I restored it using iTunes. It works just great as an MP3 player. I've tried both iTunes and MediaMonkey and your right, MediaMonkey is great - I'm sticking with it. I haven't tried a reset yet. I'll give your method a shot. If that doesn't work, then I'm afraid it's likely the latest version of iTunes and firmware that aren't compatible with the HU. The Alpine operators manual clearly says they don't guarantee performance with iTunes versions newer than 7.4.3.1. My unit has been restored and updated using iTunes 7.6 (the latest version). According to all the iPod forums I've visited in the past 24 hours, it looks like there is no rolling back the firmware once any version 7 of iTunes has touched it [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crying.gif.ec0ebefe590df0251476573bc49e46d8.gif[/IMG] I'll let you know what happens. Worse case scenario - I'm stuck with a really nice MP3 player and my 160GB USB HD for the X100. EDIT: That's a big no-go on the reset. Still getting "USB Device Error" message. I'll try calling Alpine on Monday and if I get nowhere, I guess maybe I'll be posting a used iPod for sale on eBay. [/QUOTE]
