From: Davoud on 11 Jul 2008 11:59 Updated my iPhone to 2.0. It apparently installed OK. Once that process was complete it demanded to be connected to iTunes by displaying an image of a USB cable and an arrow pointing to the word "iTunes." OK, I connected to iTunes and it went to the store (took a while due to heavy traffic). And that's where it remains. There is no indication as to what I am to do at the store. Please--I know the obvious--buy something, or perhaps download a freebie. I downloaded a freebie. At least I think I did, because the only thing accessible on the iPhone is the mandated ability to dial an emergency number. Are there other options? Even Apple won't _force_ one to buy something from the store in order to get the new software up and running -- would they? Davoud -- Don't re-elect the past.

Mine did the same thing - kept timing out on accessing the iTunes and displaying the USB plug. While I was writing this message, it finally made contact, and started reactivating, and now it's syncing/restoring my audio & video files. (whew!) Looks like it's going to be a big day for the iPhone(s). -- -bob- __________________________________ Mac - The Power to Crush the Other Kids.

If Apple had made the software upgrade a normal one -- download, install, and finished -- there probably wouldn't be a problem. But every new iPhone buyer and everyone who wants to update an original iPhone is being funneled through the iTunes store, and it obviously can't handle the traffic. What were they thinking!?

And everyone (such as myself) who's trying to upgrade their iPod touch to 2.0. The iTunes Store servers seem to be running at full speed though. I just downloaded this week's free song and the download speed hit was the fastest I've ever seen with my connection, so either there's something wrong with the update process or it's all going through a server separate from the one used for the store itself. -- Roger Johnstone, Invercargill, New Zealand -> http://roger.geek.nz |
