Live Blogging iPod Touch 2.0 Update
So there's no way I am getting an iPhone here soon, but I have an iPod Touch which Apple and Co. have decided that for every upgrade you must fork them over even more money. I could just jailbreak my iPod, but I rather not deal with the headache of trying to figure out how to get it to work, or bricking it.
It's about 11:30pm - Just hit the Buy Now link. It's a 220mg download. Only 3 minutes left to download since I started writing this post.
11:35 - Sync in process
11:39 - iPod is now showing the iTunes logo and white cord. iTunes says 'Preparing iPod for restore..."
11:40 - Unknown error- iPod could not be restored.... .....
11:46 - Still no luck, going to reboot in a minute. iTunes for some reason can't restore the iPod.
11:49 - Closed iTunes, pulled out another usb cable, and waited till windows found the ipod. Found it, now doing the restore.
11:51 - Another error.
11:56 - Now rebooting.
12:22 - Still not restoring. Trying to restore with my laptop.
1:49 - You thought I gave up. So, I tried to restore from my laptop, well I needed to update iTunes which had a problem with Quicktime which caused more confusion. I just got my iPod restored to pre 2.0, and plugged it into my main workstation to upgrade to 2.0. It's been raining and thundering all night. Kinda cool.
It's 2 am and I am really tired.
Still trying to do the restore.
It just blew up again.... I give up for tonight.
WAIT - WAIT - Just plugged it into my laptop and got a new screen. It's now downloading the 2.0 software.
