It was a folder, and there was no ispw folder in there anywhere.

Check your trash. It may be in there.

 

[sgtboy]

Working now

 

[wingnut8]

Thats everything in the folder.

Oh well iTunes is working now.

 

[tiguk]

Not for me.... yet. Keep on trying!

And 5 minutes later - success!

Looks like it's officially available, again, for a bit at least.

2.1 isn't working for me at the moment. iTunes 8 didn't install correctly on my desktop, but it's on this laptop. Too bad my home computer is the desktop.

For those downloading the link, use firefox, not Safari. Safari does something weird resulting in a folder rather than an ipsw file. It's fine if you download using firefox.

Not needed, it's now available via iTunes 8.
The error does not come up anymore.

Genius on G1 Touch

Is it just me or the genius feature is not in the 2.1 update for the G1 touch?

Downloading now, 1 hour wait >.>

Well for me the preformance of 2.1 on my touch is amazing

the lag is gone everything is snappy including the apps.

I'm happy apple worked the laggy keyboard out to and safari isn't as slow when responding to input too. Overall an excellent update.

Also i'm shaking the ipod touch and no luck with having the shuffle feature like that of the new nano

ah well overall the bugs in terms of laggyness of fixed.

2.1 installed from iTunes via automatic update. Everything went smoothly and my iPod is now running it. A few new things I notice at first glance:
- Version is 2.1 (5F137)
- Playlist/Songlists now display the album and artist in addition to the title of the song
- Genius is wierd
- Shake to shuffle doesn't work

 

[Tragedies]

I've browsed the forums and I've seen no mention of the one feature that alot of people wanted - Push notification.

So i take it, it isn't included in 2.1?

 

[ranp101]

so i finally have it:

but i've got no Genius (and i cheked playlist)

 

[Squires]

Damn just as I left my PC for the night it's working!

Oh well I'll do it in the morning.

Is anyone still getting error?

No, it was reported on Engadget and tuaw a while back that this had been pulled from 2.1

 

[vfortier]

I now have genius playlist after sync...

thank you

It was removed from the beta.

Have to say it's really big improvement. Everything that was snappy in 1.1.4 is snappy again and the apps install sooo much faster than they did in 2.0 almost like they do in the Apple adverts.

I think they have changed the Music track listings to two lines? Seems to be much more text on the screen than I remember previously. Might be imagining it.

 

[dimdom]

I don't have genius either....

 

[steve.lawrence]

I don't have genius either....

Have you enabled it in iTunes and synced?
