1199887 2011-05-06 09:49:00 plugged my iPod touch to charge this morning, but soon after it displayed the connect to iTunes icon thing.

when it had gone completely flat previously this had never happened.

anyway, connected to my laptop, and up pops "iTunes has detected this iPod in recovery mode" etc etc

still don't know why/how it got to that point.

anyway, restored it from the last back up, didn't loose a thing:clap, except having to wait quite a long time to copy all the music back on

the moral of the story is back up ya iPod.

1199890 2011-05-06 13:57:00 My $25 MP3 player has never had that issue either, it just takes standard SD cards. Agent_24 (57)

1199892 2011-05-06 23:17:00 If you had issues earlier, e.g. if updating, it may have prompted recovery mode when you reconnected for charging. Article from Apple support (support.apple.com) may help. kahawai chaser (3545)

1199894 2011-05-06 23:41:00 Well, iLuv my $1400 iPhone, it backs up daily when connected to my work PC, and that data is backed up nightly to tape...hehe SolMiester (139)
1199895 2011-05-06 23:46:00 This is one of the (many) reasons I went to AndroidOS. My iPhone 3GS (bought new, outright) did this several times in the 7-8 months I had it, for no apparent reason.

I have had absolutely no reliability issues with my N1 in the last 9 months or so that I have had it.

And the bonus is that I don't have to use that crappy piece of software called iTunes!
