Default Alpine - Ipod problem

I have an Alpine CDE9881 head unit with a full speed connection to an Ipod.
Over Xmas I connected to iTunes to download a few videos (I only had audio tracks on the Ipod before this) and update software but now find that the head unit no longer recognises the Ipod. I have reset the head unit and the Ipod settings with no success.
Any ideas?

Hi mate I found this if it helps

• Set AUX+ SETUP to OFF when an iPod is connected (refer to
“Setting the AUX+ Mode” on page 18).
iPods usable with this unit
• The unit can be used with the fourth generation and above
iPod, iPod photo, iPod minis or iPod nano. iPod Shuffle
cannot be used, however.
• Touch wheel or scroll wheel type iPods without the dock
connector cannot be connected to the unit.
• The unit can be used with the following iPod versions.
Correct function of earlier versions cannot be guaranteed.
Fourth generation iPod: Ver. 3.1.1
Fifth generation iPod: Ver. 1.1.2
iPod photo: Ver. 1.2.1
iPod mini: Ver. 1.4.1
iPod nano: Ver. 1.2
• The unit cannot be used with software versions earlier than
“2006-06-28”. For details about “iPod Software Update”, refer
to the iPod Instruction Manual.

I have had a look at all the foreign Alpine sites and can`t find nowt and I thought Kenwood was bad when I was trying to update mine!!
Good luck mate

Thanks for the answers. I ended up restoring the original settings which meant removing everything from the Ipod and reloading. It works now but I'm no wiser as to what caused the problem. I suspect it will happen again though - so the info will be useful.
Cheers
Simon
