Even though it says it finished downloading...

on another note, itunes says i can update, but when i click it, it tells me the itunes store is temporarily unavailable. is this happening to everyone or just because so many people are downloading it.

I get the same thing.

am on 90% hopefully someone will have tested it by the time it ocmpletes on my com

oh, i think stevie decided to not release 2.0 ;-)

itunes is again saying, 1.1.4 was the latest version.

microsoft must have taken over apple, my favourite company would do thinks as buggy as it's actually running.

Brave Guy,
But if I restore my iPod touch with the file downloaded, how should I pay for the bill. I mean $9.95

well if it doesnt ask you to, then don't.

Message to Cupertino: phone Akamai!

This launch has been a little ambitious - or maybe we're all just too eager.

When I plugged my iPod into my PowerBook it showed that the update was available. I don't know if this has been posted but just letting you guys know.

Edit: And just a couple of minutes later it shows 1.1.4 again. I am really annoyed now.

Mine too.. fingers crossed.. I'll feel stupid if it doesn't charge me though...

Thats because you are unzipping the files. Remove the .zip from the end of the downloaded file name so that you have a file ending in .ispw.

I tried installing both of the DMG's, for one it says that it can't be opened, and the other one prompts for a password that isn't my admin or user password.

Download it with Firefox, not Safari. Safari messes it up. It should look like a brick, not a folder.

LiveCrunch which file did you restore from?

 

[Squires]

Any UK success stories yet?

No luck for me! I'm in the UK, come on Apple!!

LiveCrunch and I are both applying it.. No news yet, mine says it's preparing my iPod for update.. one of us will win this race soon enough..

 

[wondermac]

well if it doesnt ask you to, then don't.

I wish it free,
I really don't want to offer the extra bucks, Even though it doesnot seem expensive.

But God, please give me the $20 back.

 

[LiveCrunch]

UPGRADED!! now its asking me to go to Apple Store probably to buy the thing

 

[zerotothe5th]

Damnit, I'm a moron. I need to redownload with Firefox now. The file I needed was probably in the trash (which I emptied, because I'm retarded).

Looks like you win the race.. Let me know if it offers you to pay!

You can't use the unzipped version. Throw that folder away.

The original zip file is in the trash drag it out. remove the .zip extension - leave the .ipsw extention, then in iTunes click restore while holding the option button and select the file. It takes about ten minutes or so to do the update.

 

[nateco]

i tried it, itunes won't let me select that file.

 

[LiveCrunch]

HOLY SH** it did NOT ask me to buy !!!! my upgrade was freee!!!
