iPhone 2.0 is Live: Start your Updates NOW!

does it work on GSM in Singapore

can i update ver 2 with my GSM singapore service provider?

Everyone needs to stop hating apple. This happens to all companies. Just deal with it and be patient. After all, it's Apple great planning that made the iPhone possible. It is not their fault that all of us decided to be impatient and overload their systems.

Man, I'm having such a hard time updating today. They shouldn't have released the update on the same day they launched the 3G. Now I can't use my phone. It's been like 5 hours. For the longest time I couldn't get anything done, it was completely gone... error 1604. Then I plugged into one of my employees Mac's and finally got it to give me some sign there is software on it. Now, thanks to Apple's poor planning and bad customer service I have to wait until iTunes is accessible. This is a disaster!

I got this off of apple's website:
I just got off of the phone with iPhone tech support. (had to use my landline!)
After a 20 minute wait, I got to talk to Ashley. She said there are 1100 people on hold and everyone she talked to so far is having the same "accessing iTunes" problem.
She said DO NOT disconnect your phone. Intead, when you get the message saying it timed out, click ok. Then click on any other heading, Music for example, in your itunes. Then go back and click on your iPhone icon.
Keep doing this repeatedly to keep your place in line.
I did this for the past 10 minutes STRAIGHT through and I am now done!!! Honest to god! I dont know how to do screen shots or whatever, but I'm done.
FYI...I called off sick! I thought I was done earlier and was about to leave when the whole "accessing iTunes" debacle began!

I got the same error right now, this sucks

Owen, I am having the exact same problem! Now I can't even use my iphone!! Anyone know of any fixes?

Help! I'm trying to update to 2.0 through iTunes and it has gotten halfway through, restarted my iphone, and now iTunes is giving me a message "We cannot complete your iTunes store request. Please check you network connections" blah blah. My iphone is in emergency mode (slide for emergency on the screen) and I can go directly to the itunes store and download, but when I go to the Phone section of itunes, I keep getting that message. I'm afraid to restart or anything with my phone in emergency mode!! help!

Is what i'm experiencing a OS 10.4 problem?

I'm not able to download the .ipsw version..... I get two other file types in the firmware folder. What am I doing wrong?

I downloaded the file and it came down as a zip file. I changed the extension to .ipsw and the download is still a folder that has other files contained in it. I click on the 'firmware' folder and get two more folders with numerous files in them. What am I doing wrong?

@adam
hmm, that is weird, I from from my existing backup with no problems. Contacts, calendar, music email, etc worked perfectly.

update 2...needed to restore as a NEW IPHONE and not backup from existing backup

followup... still havent been able to get my mail working, cant delete the accounts, cant update the information, can't even open the mail icon...

can i uprgade to 2.0 on a iphone using tmobile sevice?

after downloading 2.0... do i need to restore first, then update?

I installed 2.0 on a jailbroken 1.4 and no problems.
The only issue I am having is my AIM app worked only once and now doesnt and I cant get mail anymore? But everything else so far is sweet. I think I need to delete and re setup mails.
No uninstall feature?

no problems whatsoever thus far.
I've downloaded around 8 free apps. Cube Runner, though very basic, is pretty sweet and its free.
Facebook doesn't seem to be working yet, it seems like facebook itself isn't set up to take the connection yet, which I guess is the price we pay for doing it before 2.0 is really available.
Also of note is that contacts has its own seperate icon now, you dont just access it from phone.
mass delete works well.
The remote works like a charm for iTunes.
AOL Radio also works very well.
But again, worked like a dream after downloading 7.7

can you download 2.0 to a jailbrooken iphone with out unjailbreaking it ?

FJR Once you downloaded 7.7 have you had any other problems? I'm thinking about updating but I want to make sure I won't do any damage to my phone

for a free game, cube runner is pretty wicked sweet

yeah, when I originally read this thread, I didn't even know 7.7 had come out, because it wasn't finding it on the check for updates part of itunes, I had to manually go to apple.com and download it there.

Yay!!
Thank you restored to 2.0 and syncing --no problem. Except, you have to hold down option + alt to get the manual load....Maybe that's a "given"...but I am a lurker on these tech blogs, and not as savvy as "all that"
Successful anyway thanks to those much more savvy than I!

@FJR Yes I had 7.7 installed. That is a must.

I did the update and it all ran well..when I try to connect it back to itunes I get the error (-9808)..I think it is some firewall that won't let me access my account information on the iTunes store..someone please help..

anyone else get the error (-9808)

bad ash, did you already have itunes 7.7 installed?

itunes won't recognize it at all? My iTunes wouldn't recognize it as my iphone, but it did recognize it as an iphone, at that point I could just hit restore, and it gave me the option of restoring as "FJR's iPhone".

I got an "unknown error" and then had to restore. For a brief second I thought I had bricked the sucker.

so I do the update manually, then just sync it again after that and that restores all my data with the 2.0 upgrade?

Yes, it works fine. For more info check out the thread I started in the forums.

did it work then? :)

For PC users you have to hold the shift key down while hitting check for update.
