Interesting.. It's showing the 2.0 update again, but it won't actually let me go to the store. Guess it's borked.
Got a tip for us?

iPod Touch 2.0 Firmware Update (Almost) Live

i think its actually cuz their server is all *beeped up* thats why it doesnt ask u to pay when u try the firmware link and why youtube didnt work. I guess it just couldnt check if u bought the january pack bc the server didnt response
My youtube just started working after a sync...things may be starting to fall back in line for the end of the day...
That actually makes sense. You're probably right. Although, the problem was happening yesterday, when the servers weren't quite as bogged (or were they?).
Wrong. The 5 applications are actually in the 1.1.4 firmware, but buying the £12.99 update had the 'key' to unlock it. When you bought it, it transferred a small file to the iPod with a key in to unlock the features. The file then stay's on your computer with your iPod's serial number in, and when restoring it returns. I restored my iPod yesterday and my January Update showed up. It's a bit of a on-off case, just keep pressing check for update and sync and such and it will re-appear
Is anyone having trouble running some of the Apps like WHERE. It says it's compatible with the iPod Touch, but then it searches for your location. How did Apple approve such an App. I thought they would at least give you a box to input your location.
It uses the WiFi locate me feature that is built in on Maps. Although if you are not in an area that supports the locate me feature, then it does you no good.

Oh, okay. Thanks. I'll have to try restoring again when I get home.
January Update NOT Restoring
The January Update does NOT always automatically restore, as I found out last week. And if all I needed after my restore was a little code from iTunes, I suspect they could have given it to me, but they couldn't. My understanding is that the software itself is stored in a different place on the HD than much of your iTunes stuff (at least in XP), and that had been wiped out when my HD died.
Oh, well. Once 2.0 is up, it won't matter anyway, will it?

I downloaded the 2.0 software for iPod, but Safari extracted it and now it's just a folder... if I add .ipsw to the end it stays a folder and if i compress it, then uncompress it it still doesn't work, it only works if i compress it and remove .zip and add .ipsw but then it's still compressed so iTunes can't read it. Help?
I guess I'll find out soon enough, but I'll through the question out anyway.
There are 3 iPod touches in my household. Will one $9.99 upgrade work for all three iPods?

Random question
I was just wondering if international iphones, like those in China, show China when Google Maps is opened or if all of them show the United States first. Anyone know?

Oh My God...
I think my iPod is screwed...
I was trying to downgrade from 2.0 to 1.1.4, DFU mode, iTunes 7.7.
And guess what! Unknown error (30)
I really need help.

Just got off the phone with tech support.
The guy told me that It's probably going to be until monday when the server finally clears up and we will be able to download the software.
He says it's working fine, and the download link is fine, but it's the tens of thousands of people trying to buy it at once.
Haha, he was like, "No, it's totally our fault that this is happening.
I guess that's what happens when an Apple product is released for the Apple fans to buy".
So, he said that I should just quit trying for now, and maybe I can squeeze in a download tomorrow, but he said Monday is when it should all clear up.

I have downloaded this, iTunes attempts to extract it and then gives an error message. Basically I can't get this to install manually from 1.14.
Has anyone else had this problem?
Take it out of DFU mode with ZiPhone... then wipe the iPod from the Reset iPod settings in Prefs on the iPod and try againOh My God...

'Update' on Upgrade status.
Grr the update still doesn't seem to be consistently available. Neither the link from the Apple page - https://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZFinance.woa/wa/touchLandingPage - or a Check for Updates from iTunes work, despite repeated restarts on my part! Guess I'll try tomorrow.
NB the link now goes (once again) nowhere rather than to the error which it did earlier.

ZiPhone is searching the iPod, but It can´t find it.
Also says that putting normal mode into iPods with DFU already installed can´t change it to normal mode...
Here's how I understood it:
Pull the zip file out of the trash.
Delete the .zip suffix so you're left with .ipsw
Hold down alt(option) on the 'restore' button in iTunes and locate the 2.0 .ipsw file
But from there I just get an error saying it won't install on my iPod touch (running 1.14).
MONDAY!!! That's just unreasonable. I can understand them having problems and not being able to get it out today, but why don't they just rent some extra space from Akamai for the time being.
-We had to wait after the September launch for web apps.
--Then they said the SDK would be out in February.
---When they released it in early march, they said it would be active in June.
----In June when they just demoed stuff, they said July 11.
-----It is JULY 11. It has almost been a whole year of waiting, putting things off, and then not meeting their own deadlines. This is just bad customer service.
My new iPhone shows Australia. My old iPhone sometimes showed Australia, sometimes the US.
They could be like Microsoft and release products way to soon. Examples include: Windows ME, Windows Vista (until SP1) and Xbox 360. (Heating Issues...didn't test before release!!)
