iTunes 7.7 and App Store is live! (1 Viewer)

[Sam Posten]

2.0 is coming up, its now asking me if I want to learn more but its telling me not available when I do so,

 

[Sam Posten]

And apparently that's for everyone right now:
2.0 is up on apple.com! - Page 3 - Mac Forums

 

[TonyD]

were is it, i dont see it on apple.com not showing in itunes yet either.

Sam,

Easier to purchase APPS on the iPhone or via iTunes?

I am guessing the latter but I have yet to figure this all out.

 

[TonyD]

ok nevr mind it's on itunes now.

Live view of me trying to get 2.0 before going to work:
YouTube - The Angry German Kid tries to use MobileMe....

 

[Sam Posten]

The link is there to download 2,0 but its not working still.

Ron: Dunno I still dont have the firmware to do wifi downloads, but it couldnt be easier under iTunes

 

[Ronald Epstein]

Never mind. Buying on iTunes now. Looking at some of
the favorites posted here.

Beatcha to that Tony =) I didnt put the embed in to try to save the surprise but the auto linker gave it away =)

Sucking down 2.0 through iTunes as we speak. Taking the day off today (makeup for last Saturday's all-day server upgrade marathon at work) so I have time to play with the AppStore, and then go see Hellboy 2 this afternoon!!

 

[TonyD]

i saw yours, i didnt know you were trying to sort of have it a secret.

so many people still dont know how to put the video in a post i thought thats what you were doing.

apparently there's a whole series of those videos.

 

[TonyD]

also you can change what the "auto linker " says.


shheash the dl is taking forever.

it did the software, but now it's been trying to access the itunes store for awhile.

i can turn on the iphone but only to make an emergency call.

edit:
well it seems the 2.0 didnt fully load as now my phone will only make an emergency call and the itunes 7.7
is locked out on apple.com so i can't redownload itunes.

keeps giving me error -9838

 

[Craig S]

Kept getting the same thing as Tony, but finally it appears to be connecting... or trying to connect.

Between this and the MobileMe fiasco, it looks like Apple needs to take a serious look at their architecture.

 

[Craig S]

Looks like the Apple activation servers are back up. My phone is re-activated and is now restoring all my content.

 

[Sam Posten]

Yeah, I'm sure there will be one of from that movie about Hitler in the Bunker before too long, sorry the name escapes me. And yeah I figured out you can change the link too. Too late =)

I still cant download the firmware legitly, but I did snarf the link from Macrumors before they closed the thread where it was being discussed. 16% at 60k ugh =( If I can get iTunes to grab it direct I will pay apple their $10 but if I download it here first I wont be able to get them the dough. Dilemma.

 

[Craig S]

Finally! Up & running on 2.0!

Still can't complete the upgrade process because of Apple's poor network performance.

I was really looking forward to the MLB At Bat application until I read that it’s really a subscription service and not an application. I still might get it since I’m a baseball junkie but I’m certain it’ll probably cost $14.99 for next season.

Between the slow and/or failed activations of new phones and the problems with reactivating phones after the 2.0 firmware update, today's events have to rank as a certifiable disaster for Apple, especially in the marketing department. At the very least they should have released 2.0 a week or more ago so they wouldn't be swamped today.

 

[Patrick_S]

That's a great idea you have about releasing the update a week earlier. The odds are no one at Apple probably even thought of that one but it certainly makes a lot of sense.

As of right now I'm still trying to reactivate my phone, 3 hours and counting.
