It doesnt say that it can't connect, but...

Ok , i do the update, and it says 1.1.4 is current. W.e. But then i go to Apple's site, and hit the Buy Now button, and i go into itunes and it just says accessing store, but no window of depresssion stating its down temporarily. Any1 else getting this?

[Artofilm]

Everyone.
Welcome to the club, we have cookies.

[shoney]

Getting really pi^%$d off with Apple, quick to take money for apps then can't get the software to run them..... Steve Jobs get a new outfit.... ditch the washed up black polo and crap grandad jeans,,,, clown costume more suitable

[neodude237]

I thought it might just be me... i'm getting it too

[intempo808]

Yup, exactly what I'm getting in the UK. However, I now get a "Your network has timed out" error message instead, however, I think thats just because it has no page to access or something... But, its definitely a step in the right direction!

My iPod touch still says 1.1.4 is still the current version on iTunes... Lets hope that soon changes...

Woop! :rolleyes:

@ Artofilm

Yes i know that. Ive been trying since about 6:30, but all of a sudden now it just says Accesesing Store at the top, then when its done, nothing happens.
Im just wondering if this is a sign of hope or a sign of worse 2 come.

Did mean to be a smart@$$ or anything.
I do too hope it's going to be good coming out of this.

I have a feeling that apple has disable iPod touch connections to their servers so that the iPhone buyers can access and activate their phones.

[kain125]

I hope that we can get the update at least at somepoint 2day. I know, i speak for everyone but i hope the rumors i heard about the update not being able to come onto the ipod touches until 2morrow night isnt true.

It no longer says the servers are down, so I think all Apple needs to do is publish the 2.0 update and we'll be able to DL it. I'm thinking hour and a half wait.

[intempo808]

Oooh, new development. My iPod touch shows up in iTunes, and iTunes says 2.0 is a new update. I hit update button, takes me to the itunes store, loads, then goes back to the iPod summary page...

Is this good or bad?

Will iTunes revert back in a minute to "1.1.4 is the latest version"?

:confused:

[kain125]

I dont know about you, i just tried and its still at 1.1.4, but i could wait an hour and a half. I just dont wanna wake up again at 6 so i can get this thing.

Very good. That means that the firmware download page will probably be up within an hour. I doubt it's going to revert back to 1.1.4 latest version, I think 2.0 is here to stay this time.

[AceFernalld]

Apologies, double post.

[Artofilm]

It's now jumping between the 2.0 update and the 1.4 screen. The update only access the iTunes store and then exits, though.

They jump back and forth between minutes of each other.
Maybe getting close....?

[kain125]

I hope, Super Monkey Ball is calling my name.

[Artofilm]

I hope, Super Monkey Ball is calling my name.

Same...
I've already gone through all the Applications on the iTunes store and downloaded the ones I want. Including buying Super Monkey Ball.

I wanna play!!

[kain125]

ok 2 questions kinda off topic

1) Has Jobs made any official announcements about all this? If so link please.

2) Has anyone got 2.0 from that XML file and played Moto Racer? If you have, please tell me how it is and if its worth it.

Also, continue discussion about the topic at hand. And breakthroughs would be nice.

[intempo808]

Grrrr, now it's back 1.1.4 again... But still, its been a development. No more errors now! Woot!

Lol, I actually think the highlight of 2.0 is Super Monkey Ball... And Apple didn't even make it lol... Haha

I can't wait to have a go!

Maybe in a few years or so, we'll all look back on this catastrophe and laugh... Maybe... :rolleyes:

[ipodtouchcanada]

mines still 1.1.4 its been like that for 3 hours

[kain125]

Ok i can get the update, but instead again of temporary store thing come up, it just goes back the the screen where u can click update.

[AceFernalld]

Looks like a spoke too soon, back to 1.1.4, when the hell will all this waiting finally end?

[Artofilm]

Looks like it's jumping around again...

I got a couple of "-4 errors" which I think translates into, "I'm next to update.":D
Oh wait, now I have the current version 1.1.4.

[kain125]

When i hit update, hit learn more, it waits and kicks me back to the update screen thingy. I think its a bit better knowing this is happening, because for the past few hours there was no sign of 2.0, and no box thing. I would like it to go al the way thorugh or something. I wish apple says something official about all this, but of course, ipod touch is like the ginger orphan to the iphone, we get jack Sh**.

I think that explains it all!:(

[kain125]

Ok another thing. Its now doing what it did this morning b4 all of the madness. I go to the apple site, hit buy now, and then it just does nothing in itunes. Thats what it was like from 730-8 all this morning. Something good? Lets hope

[kain125]

More good news. Activation servers are now up at the stores, and there selling more phones. After all that maybe something good happens. Check out the aricle on engadget, im gonna check if anythings happening at gizmodo.

[intempo808]

Haha, that proper made me laugh...

I think Apple could have at least put something up on the website telling us what was going on or whatever. At least that way, we wouldn't all be as frustrated, we wouldnt all be going "ahhhh what the hells going on", and we would have all stopped hitting the button if they had asked us to, so that that servers could have been back up a bit faster...

That to me just seems like common logic... I mean I would do that if I was a business that was having problems like this. Do Apple not care about the customer at all or something?
:confused:

[kain125]

I know right? At least Jobs could say "For once in my life, i have made a terribly EPIC FAIL"

[kain125]

Back to 1.1.4. Awesome. Hopefully after stores are outta stock, 2.0 will be live. Post any new news here por favor.

[ihabime]

Actually it will get worse, since most of those phones haven't been able to sign up either.
It might get better if everyone stopped hitting update every 5 seconds, but I doubt that will happen.

Ack, I just checked out one of the MobileMe threads and it appears that tons of people are still trying to hit the update servers for that and iTunes 7.7, so I'm thinking this update isn't gonna work anytime soon.

[kain125]

i actually havent hit update in about 10 min. The activation servers are up and running which is a GOOD thing cause then they get the iphones out quicker, they know what to expect (hopefully) and once thats done they should let us dl 2nite or 2morrow morning.

I think that this is the best quote I have read on this topic!! :-(

[Maxamillious]

Let's all cheer up. :)

iTunes is reporting that the 2.0 firmware is now available for the iPod Touch, however, it's not purchasable yet. It's been less then an hour since Apple's servers were reportedly back online and already Apple's returned things to how they were prior to the servers failing. That's 1.1.4 to 2.0 in less then an hour. It took FOREVER post-server crash. Let's give Apple some props and continue to look forward to the new 2.0 firmware (and everything else...) that Apple DOES want it's consumers (and fanboy's... lol) to enjoy. :)
