Tried upgrading my iPod 3rd gen 32gb to latest firmware yesterday, (4.0.2) and it got stuck in the dreaded 'recovery' mode. I then tried to sync it with my laptop, also running win 7 64, and after restore, it still had the same issues.
I spent a couple of hours googling the problems and trying all the known fixes to no avail.
As a last ditch attempt, I dragged out my old desktop which runs on XP and hey presto, after restore the iPod works again.
Has anyone else running Win7 64 tried to upgrade the firmware of their iPod?
The issue is only when attempting firmware upgrades or restores, it works perfectly OK with Win7 64 when synching.

and it took a lot of Googling, re-installing the backups and cursing to get it back into working order.
