mail.app is broken

Anyone else find that their mail is broken after having upgraded to 2.0? Mine won't start up?
 
So, is there a difference between the OS 2.0 image released yesterday and the one released today?

If not, I'm sticking with yesterdays--I already downloaded some apps and I don't want to have to pay for them twice.

They are different, todays is 1,1 as far as I've seen, and many posts in this enormous thread have described yesterday's file as one of the beta versions meant only for the 3G iPhone so it would definitely be better to switch to todays. I will as soon as I get someone to post a link to it, does anyone have a working link for today's 2.0 software? Thanks!

Also, how has everyone's Push been working?
 
Something else I noticed: I downloaded the CheckPlease app from the App Store and the icon still looks sort of dimmed....like it didn't pop to full brightness after it was installed:

Or maybe that's just the way that icon looks.
 
I'll make an official post soon, but you can download the official firmware here:

http://appldnld.apple.com.edgesuite...080710.V50OI/iPhone1,1_2.0_5A347_Restore.ipsw

and use the same process as yesterday (hold option et...)

But, if activations are not working, you won't be able to use your phone until it start working again. Sounds like it's started working though.

Nevermind - here it is again for everyone else that needs it and is reading the most recent posts


And to reiterate everything from before for those of you who don't read the posts before posting, this update switch is necessary because the one from yesterday was designed for the 3G, and if your iTunes does not yet recognize the new software you can either a) wait for apple to re-post it (possibly an updated version from the one above in this post) or b) download this (but do NOT expand it, the easiest way is through FireFox or by changing the automated expansion within Safari) and then hold option (shift for PCs) while clicking on check for updates. Then select the .ipsw file and you're on your way!

Software Bugs Infest New Apple iPhone

Global Problem With iTunes Software Found

http://www.wnbc.com/news/16852441/detail.html?rss=ny&psp=news

Holy Mother of Mac & Cheese! That has got to be the worse headline I've seen... since... maybe yesterday?

My response:
It's not even a hardware problem, nor software, it's a logistics problem due to the overwhelming load to their activation system. Holy crap I hope Apple's lawyers squat on you for that headline, it isn't even supported by the story body. Which box of cereal did you get your journalism degree from?

Can we backup with this method though?
I need to be able to restore the music on the phone back onto it after the update.
Does the backup run when using the SHIFT/OPTION Restore?

That's a bit silly, because this is iPhone firmware and won't work on a Touch. The Touch version should be available for sale in the iTunes store later.
 
Click the image and hold your finger on it until a screen comes up with the option to save.

Many Thanks!

I hope everyone has tried to activate, I have talked to a lot of people who said that after 3:30pm, it started going through regularly.

Good luck to all!
 
finally worked!!

i almost gave oup on getting the software update done today, but then: it suddently started " restoring from backup" !!!:eek::eek::eek::D:D:D

on my iphone screen it now says " activation alert no signaldetected. signal is required to complete activation"

my phone is almost 3/4 of the way threw restoring.. anything i should get worried about??

How do I invoke a Backup?
This is a new PC and have never synced it with this PC.
Thanks for your help!

When you plug it into a new PC, it should recognize that the phone has been synced to another PC. It will ask you what you want to do from there.
Sorry I can't be more specific, but it's been a while since I synced my phone to a different computer. It will ask for confirmation before it removes any existing data from your phone though so don't worry, just be sure to read the prompts carefully before clicking 'OK'
 
Ipod Touch

WHo wants to bet that Apple stopped allowing touch users to upgrade because Apple thinks we are the red headed stepchild. That is my guess.
Also, why couldn't they allowed Touch users to start downloading yesterday and maybe held down the traffic today.

The only thing is after it restores you may not be able to sync apps.

you will be able to sync it but like me i cant get apps on.
and thats because the page where you select what movies and apps and all that you want synced isn't showing up.

itunes will not connect is why
which doesnt make sense.
because i can browse the store.

your music will be there though.

so it will hold off. you can still make calls and stuff.
 
still says 1.4 is current firmware...arrrrghhhh! went out today disappointed expecting to at least b able to update when i got bak.., for f@**s sake!!

does anyone know if i get to keep any apps i buy [eventually!] if i load em onto 1g phone now , then get upgrade to 3g phone, or do i hav to buy again?
