I'm not a developer so i don't have access to it. Just wanted try out the betas which, even with all the buginess, has been pretty fun so far. I just signed up with a developer to have access to the betas. So is there any way to do a successful sync?

Just extract the IPSW from the DMG, restore to it with iTunes, and you're done.

Nope, it's been there since Beta 1 - it didn't work though, I tried to add some epubs to Stanza through the sharing window and the whole thing would freeze up.

Haven't tried it in Beta 2 though so they may have fixed it.
 
If you don't understand this, you sure you really want to be running beta software? It's not really intended for you then, anyways.

too late. i already am. want to make the best of it.

when the final 4.0 is released will i just be able to do a normal update?
 
I'm wondering if the iPod icon in the music player control/orientation lock section will change based on which app is playing music, i.e. if Pandora is playing in the background, its app icon will replace the iPod icon, but the iPod will be the default if nothing is using the background audio stuff.

I was beginning to think I was the ONLY one who caught that. Looks to me as if they're planning on having that functionality work for multiple music apps. And to anyone knocking it and saying it's not or not related to multitasking... please explain to me how the ability to change a song from your iPod (or Pandora if the above will be the case) when you're in another app isn't multitasking.

Interesting and all, but in breach of the NDA none the less, naughty developer.
 
where about is that in iTunes?


when you download the DMG file off dev site you mount the dmg by double clicking on your mac desktop and then drag and drop the ipsw to desktop

you're referring to sdk 4, correct? sdk 3 will not fix the issue?
 
I'm hearing that beta 3 was pulled because of "overheating" issues when restoring. I didn't experience this...

I have all the IPSWs. I'll upload them tomorrow when I have access to a very fast upload speed.
 
The Beta 3 files are again available for download. Someone's working late in Cupertino! Anyway, happy downloading...

This was some false rumor one person posted without any proof or reason as to why he said that.

The actual reason was that the Beta 3 Xcode installer was incapable of honoring custom install locations, so even if you said to write to /Developer-Beta/ it would write to /Developer/ and for a lot of people, that overwrote and broke their 3.1.3 or 3.2 SDK's for publishing updates to their Apps that are currently live in the store.

Apple pulled it, fixed the installer issue, and has re-released it with no change in version numbers but even if you downloaded and installed it before it was pulled, I would still do Xcode install and re-restore the phone, just to be on the safe side.
