iPhone 2.0
July 11, 2008
Ok, I know there’s gonna be at least a hundred thousand reviews of the iPhone 2.0 software, so I’m not even going to review it. I’m satisfied with it, there could be a few more features, MMS, but overall some very nice improvements.
I’m writing because of my installation issues. I’m by no means an expert, but then again, you’ll never get through to apple support for the next week, so I thought I’d try to contribute. By the way, I have a windows PC that I use for my phone, so if you have a mac I can’t help. Then again if you have a mac you probably won’t run into this issue.
Most of the install went fine, it was when it tried to verify at the end of the install that it hung. My phone hung up when iTunes tried to connect to the App Store. I don’t know why it needed to connect, but it wouldn’t move beyond this point. So my phone is stuck in this emergency only mode.
Here is what I finally did to fix it. I uninstalled everything apple: iTunes, Quicktime, bonjour, and Updater. Then I downloaded the newest iTunes (7.7) and reinstalled. When I reconnected my phone, after the drivers where recognized, it started right up and did a restore of my data.
Whoo-hoo. Gooder than new.
