7.7 up and running, no issues.
I don't see how an anti M$ stance can be seen as a bad thing on an Apple forum I really can't!

Well, its installed.

Downloaded a load of apps as well. now I just have to wait for the updated firmware.

Mobile Me was up and running briefly. I got a pop-up taking me to software update which downloaded the Mobile Me mac update (8.6 MB). The website was pretty quick to load but fell over when it tried to load my email up.

Looks like they are still working on it.

Up and running for a while now. No issues.

The App Store looks nice. Seems like a partial release... more goodness to come!

Many of the kinds of apps that I was hoping for have been released.

 

Your = the possessive of you, as in, "Your name is Tom, right?" or "What is your name?"

 

You're = a contraction of YOU + ARE as in, "You are right" --> "You're right."

Installed 7.7 on my Mac and seemed to be working fine until I connected the iPhone (1st gen) and it was not recognized by iTunes. Required a force quit to get out.

Any helpful thoughts?

Sorry, I was off-line for a little while. It seems that everybody has found it, so I don't need to post anything!

No, I don't have the new developer apps installed, I was just looking at the app store through iTunes.

More to look at... Got to go!

When are they going to get Mobile Me running????? Thank goodness it's 10:00pm here and I don't need to access my iDisk!

Does the iTunes Remote work with iPhone 1.4 and iTunes 7.7, or do I have to upgrade to 2.0 first?

Needs 2.0 which isn't out yet...


They seem to be having a hard time getting things going. Possibly too many of us trying to access the system has created a crash or two or three!

The Applications tab isn't showing up in iTunes 7.7, it probably needs 2.0 software on the iPhone to reveal it. I already downloaded about 15 free apps.

There are about 3 "not free " golf apps, cool stuff!

I synced mine twice already. I'd say his iPhone was already slightly corrupted, no issues here.

Yes, you will have to ay to update the Touch. The iPhone is a subscription device whereas the Tough was essentially a one-timer sold as-is.

Weird - it came up in the iphone section when I downloaded it. Closed iTunes and then launched it again after reading your post. You are right - put "apps" in the search and click on any icon in "applications". then, got to the top nav bar and it should read: (home icon)> app store> Entertainment (or bus, or ?)> [name of app you clicked on].

Then, click on the App Store and you'll be home!

Just go into Preferences and click on the General Tab if it's not already selected. Just put a tick next to Applications and click OK. The Applications tab will show up.

Hope this helps.

I get the dreaded "Network Timeout" when I hit any of the download links at Apple. They apparently use the same script to validate/prep ANY downloads there... so I can't get iTunes or Quicktime.

On a side note...I just registered my account here. OMG... that CAPTCA is HORRIBLE! It took me 5 tries to find out I could read well enough to type it out properly, and it's not like I have bad eyes...

The Apple TV 2.1 update also adds Wishlist feature. When you select a movie to see more info and rent/buy, you now see a button to add the movie to a Wishlist. Then the Movie's submenu will show Wishlist as one of the options. This is a great add-on I will use.

I also noticed that the password entry for protected content now displays the hidden bullet as you enter the info instead of showing the actual character for everyone to see (like my kids)!

Now I'm downloading the iPod Touch restore app., but I'm wondering why?

I never installed any up-date to the iPod Touch? I did download the itunes up-date. Is there a way to re-install the old itunes software, or in fact, will the restore for the iPod Touch make a difference?

Right now, when I plug the iPod into my Mac, it launches iTunes, which then lockups. I have to force quite.
