Can anybody help me with this odd and annoying problem:

I have 5GB iPod (SW 1.1), Graphite G4 with OS 9.2.1 installed. If I have the iPod connected via FireWire and I unmount it (drag to Trash) and put my G4 to sleep, then the iPod shows me the Apple logo and starts up with all my prefs reset. No more Backlight Timer (that I had set to 5 secs), no more Clicker (sound off, like I had set). Probably it resets all the prefs, but since I only have the Clicker and BTimer set to other than default, I need to reset these again.

This has occured several times and really pisses me off. What the hell am I doing wrong? Or what's wrong with the iPod or it's software?

P.S. This has occured even when I haven't touched iTunes a single time while the iPod mounted to my Mac, so it's probably not a iTunes bug or anything...

Are you disconnecting the iPod before putting the G4 to sleep?
