Apple Announces iPhone Software Update & SDK Release Date

[GlowingApple]

Download server still can't be contacted for me, but Nate True posts a direct download link to the 1.1.3 restore image on Apple's site here. Just finished downloading for me, so I'm in the process of trying the restore...

There is a price to be paid for the ability to manually manage music.....

iPhone will only sync with one machine, now. No longer can you manage music on your Mac at home and sync with Outlook on your PC at work.

A message comes up stating that the iPhone was sync'd with another computer and do you want to erase or cancel.

Thats because you are changing its preferences from sync to no sync. When you get to your computer housing your music change the manual manage with that iTunes and then it will work fine...

Solved

When I first went to update, it downloaded fine, but I disconnected my iPhone during the download and then it gave an error. Now every time I go to redownload the update, it gives me this error

This happened to me too, but I went into i-tunes download window and clicked the x after the stopped download and it picked up where it left off.

so the update takes away the unlock and summerboard correct? The only reason I use it is to change my background. Anyone want to tell more about what happens when updating a hacked phone?

The update is a pretty hefty 200+ MB.

Anyway whats the music management you are talking about?

I just wish I could delete an icon. I don't use the iTunes Download one and I hate how it just sits there alone on the bottom row.

Give it some company then. Or move it to another screen.

Update works great for me.

You can now manually copy music to your iPhone. Check the box in the iPhone summary tab.

Love the new additions, esp. Maps and rearranging my Home screens. Still want a separate address book app.

Just wanted to report in from a hacked iPhone upgrade. The process went smooth, I did not need to restore my iPhone first, and it's now up and running without Installer.APP! Overall great update and worth losing the Apps!

I think i am still going to hold off. i will miss my apps too much.

Games, voice recording, aim and more, VS. locate me, web clips, and manually manage content.

this is a tough one.

Wont work at all for me. Just gives me the message the server can't be contacted.

Great.

You should be able to option-click the Update button and manually select the .ipsw file to update if you've already downloaded it.

Direct download link: http://appldnld.apple.com.edgesuite...80115.4Fvn7/iPhone1,1_1.1.3_4A93_Restore.ipsw

Edit: option-clicking Update after manually downloading seems to be working just fine

 

[walnuts]

anyone notice any more language support? I'm hoping for Dutch...

 

[trip1ex]

Looks like a nice update.

I just get an error that the update server could not be contacted.

I don't know how to "option-click." Could you please explain? I've downloaded the file already.

 

[bennifer3000]

Great update but I still hunger for the ever evasive Flash support.

Add iChat, Flash, Copy/Paste, Horizontal Keyboard and a Sports widget and the iPhone is perfection.

Oh and Playlist-specific CoverFlow.

I'd love to download this. Too bad I can't. I can't connect to the server...

Last I had heard, there still was no deal in place. Once a deal is in place, it will still take multiple months before a release. This would likely put an actual release in the 4th quarter of 2008, which would fit in my guess that there will be no updated iPhone until late 2008. Just my take on things, we will see though.

I also heard late 2008 for the 3G iPhone.

That's shift-"check for update" for Windows users.

Hold the option button down and then click "Check for Update" A prompt will come up and then select the .zip you just downloaded.

Thanks!

I don't understand why Apple chose the iPhones Dock over the iPod Touch's Leopard Style Dock...that is really my only disappointment.

10min of clicking and it finally came up and I am downloading the update!

Ringtones...

Just installed 1.1.3. Not surprisingly the Ringtones I installed with iToner do not work. They still show up in the Ringtones list on the phone, but when tapped they don't work. Alas.

 

[kainjow]

Is it just me or does anyone else think that the Camera app is smoother and focuses faster?
