Comment 268 for bug 88746

I think this bug is solved for me. The solution for me was to not use the front USB ports on the front of the case but instead plug my ipod into one of the usb ports on the back of the case which are directly mounted on the motherboard. I can only assume that the ipod was a bit temperamental with the front usb ports - may be it wasn't getting enough power, or the connecting cables provided with the case were sub-standard.
