IPod Touch 2G with Firmware 3.1.2 and audiobook troubles

I was using firmware 3.1.1, listening to an audiobook with no issues (audiobook was imported as mp3 files from multiple CD's - the media type was changed in bulk to Audiobook under the options tab). The book flowed fine from mp3 to mp3, in order.
Then I decided to go to 3.1.2 (I also recently updated to Snow Leopard) and the play order of the parts seemed to become random. The files still show up in the audiobook section, but do not play in order, even after renaming them all.
I tried to convert them in bunches to m4b files, and they still play out of order.
Is this an iTunes issue, or an iPod firmware issue? Is there a way to rollback to 3.1.1? I could only find 3.1.2 in my Library>iTunes>iPod Software Updates folder.

I have exactly the same problem although my audiobook playback was messed up by 3.1.1. Spoke to support in local store who suggested rolling back (can't do it either - also not in folder). Also suggested that way to check whether itunes or firmware was at fault was see if playback random in itunes. It isn't so I am assuming that the problem is with the firmware update. All was working fine until I installed 3.1.1 - I hoped 3.1.2 might sort the problem out but no luck. I hope Apple are taking notice of this because I am less than impressed with the accessibility of any support or even interest.

  • Serious Lag with OS4 update on 8gb iPod Touch, help with firmware rollback

    Hey all,
    I updated my 8gb 3rd Gen iPod Touch to the 4.0 OS today and now i'm experiencing serious lag with everything. I want to roll back to an earlier OS, say 3.1.2 or 3.2 but I cant find anywhere to download a copy, its like apple force you to update then leave you fending for yourself with no options to download previous versions.
    Can anyone help?
    Any other 8gb Touch owners having similar issues? Really not worth it just for folders and spell check...
    Oh and Apple should be disgusted at how hard it is to find the link to make your own topics on this site, I'm a fairly skilled user and I was chasing my tail for a good 30min...
    Firstly **** this place makes it hard to find how to post a topic

    I find it comical that EVERYONE was complaning about the lost of features for 2nd gen ipod touchs, yet even now people complain of lag issues, imagine if apple DID put multi tasking and wallpaper on the 2nd gen.

    Haha, I think its because of the logic we are using, cause I am a skilled user as well, and I had never attempted to make a topic here before either, I spent 10 mins looking and gave up lol.

  • Has anyone tried syncing the new iPod Touch 4 with OS 10.4.11?

    I know the "official" Apple spec's state the new iPod Touch 4 are
    for it to sync with OS 10.5.8 and use iTunes 10 .... but has anyone been
    successful in using the new iPod Touch 4 with OS 10.4.11 and iTunes 9.2.1?

    Does iTunes see the iPod? If not
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X
    or
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    You need iTunes 10.7 or later on the computer
    The iPod touch uses different drivers than the Nano

  • I recently have reset my ipod touch 4g with new apple id and cannot download Facebook,Skype or any app that reqires ios7 or later

    I recently have reset my ipod touch 4g with a new apple id and cannot download Facebook,Skype or any app that reqires ios7 or later but ipod 4g can only have ios 6.1.6

    Starting when iOS 7 was released, Apple now allows downloading the last compatible version of some apps (iOS 4.2.1 and later only)
    App Store: Downloading Older Versions of Apps on iOS - Apple Club
    App Store: Install the latest compatible version of an app
    You first have to download the non-compatible version on your computer. Then when you try to purchase the version on your iPod you will be offered a compatible version if one exists.

  • Do All New 3rd Gen iPod Touches Mome with 3.1.1

    I was just wondering if all the new 3rd generation iPod Touches 32's & 64's) come with the new 3.1.1 firmware already installed?

    Did you look at the ipod touch page or 3.1 software page on Apple's website?
    One of the very first sentences:
    "iPod touch comes with the latest software already installed."
    http://www.apple.com/ipodtouch/features/more-features.html
    Also:
    "The iPhone 3.1 software for iPod touch is included with all iPod touch models purchased after September 9, 2009."

    Resolve communication issues
    Check the hosts file or TCP/IP filtering, which might cause communication issues between iTunes, ports, and servers.
