Updated firmware 1.1.3 is available for iPhone and iPod touch, sort of

Well, seems Steve wasn't fibbing when he mentioned we'd see the iPhone and iPod touch update today, as it does seem to have landed. Hit the link below to get at the package if the auto updater just isn't doing it for you -- and judging from our luck so far, there are some issues. Note that you're going to need iTunes 7.6 to roll this update out.

Actually mine worked just fine under 7.5 (OS X) and I've got wiggly icons out the yin yang!!!!

Downloading now, taking a helluva long time though, suppose a few million people trying to get it slows things down a bit.

Just updated my clean ipod touch to 1.1.3. No wiggly icons and a strange looking "finder" bar which looks like the iphone one, with the grey grid behind.
Am i right by saying that the ipod update does absolutely nothing?
Bah.

Updating my iTunes is annoying. It never saves my preferences when it's upgraded. I have to reselect where I want to save my music every time. Why can't they fix this?

The ipod update sucks. So far all i've noticed is a horrible grey dock (i much preferred the old one), Safari's bookmark icon was moved, and the YouTube app was moved to the far righ.

In Windows, Shift + Click on the Check for Update button in iTunes to select the file. In Mac, Option + Click does the same. I don't believe you can update without iTunes, but if you are having problems with the download through iTunes then the files above should do the trick (did for me)!

Mine iPhone was updated just fine. No problems.

Hey, downloaded that update and got a folder with 3dmg files, a folder called firmware and two other files [restore.plist & kernelcache.release.s5l8900xrb]....

What do i do with these? Please help guys really want this update :( Cheers

1. Go back to the trash and fish out the .zip file. Ignore the folder with all the dmg stuff in it.
2. Drag .zip file out of trash and onto desktop.
3. Open iTunes right click [or ctrl + click for mac] on the Update Software button on the iPhone/iPod Summary page.
4. Select the .zip file from the finder and 'boom' let it do its thang.

OFFICIAL: YOU CANT DOWNGRADE THE TOUCH TO 1.1.1 after its been upgraded to 1.1.3

I also tried restoring to 1.1.3 and it gives me an error. Now im stuck in restore mode... Thanks alot apple, worst day ever

jesus what a disaster. i'm on a XP laptop, using ituens 7.5. no, i did not read this post first. so i dled the update, and my phone bricked and is in recovery mode. I was also trying to dl/install itunes 7.6 at the same time, and i use that apple automatic software updater, so it was updating my safari beta, too. i pressed cancel when it looked like it was done with itunes and had moved onto safari, as i just wanted to get itunes 7.6 up, and just *see* if it would maybe let me connect and would be alright without pressing restore. but apparently there "are files missing from itunes and it cannot run properly." ahhh, so now i've got to reinstall itunes, then deal with the bricked phone situation, all the while i'm rusing out the door right now to class, and was supposed to have dinner with someone after.

Thanks Apple!

I tried updating my iphone on my piece of crap xp & in the midst of it finsihing the installation I get the message "UNKOWN ERROR: could not update iPhone" wtf?? I have updated to iTunes 7.6 as as well..

s.o.s.

[Warren Posted Jan 15th 2008 7:07PM]

Try again. I updated a few of my friends iPhones off my Powerbook and the first time I did the update it gave me the same error - however after I tried a 2nd time - it worked like a charm.

[hotpuck6 Posted Jan 15th 2008 8:49PM]

So where do we go to get our new apps?

The "I paid $400 to apple to only get fucked a couple months later" section?

[(Unverified) Posted Jan 15th 2008 11:34PM]

C'mon jailbreak. $20 for apps I already loaded on 1.1.1 is ridiculous. I really want to rent some movies though.

Hey!

At least my Ipod Touch works with Vista x64 now!

[(Unverified) Posted Jan 16th 2008 3:33AM]

Avoid this update like the plague. Wiped everything. (no hacks, clean phone). I'm quite angry.

[wimpytx93 Posted Jan 16th 2008 1:24PM]

you get the mail app stock app and notes and weather by jailbreaking your ipod im guessing the only reason they provided the update was to get u to pay to do the things an already jailbroken ipod can do. This also helps apple by making it harder for people to jailbreak their ipods, because as of now a jailbreak for firmware 1.1.3 doesn't exist. btw those new macbook air are pretty kick ass :)

Apple has to milk the world dry with the EDGEtastic iPhone first. They they will release the 3G version. But not when the world is ready. When Apple is ready. Either that or that can't figure

[(Unverified) Posted Jan 16th 2008 5:17PM]

Hey i have a jailbroken ipod touch and i already have mail, maps, ad weather. do you think if i download 1.1.3 my ipod will get screwed up at all?

[(Unverified) Posted Jan 17th 2008 1:58AM]

How do i get it install?

[(Unverified) Posted Jan 18th 2008 11:04PM]

I am in a country where it is difficult for me to get hold of a credit card let alone paying for this update for ipod touch.

Really sucks to have paid 600 bucks and then having to pay more for some software updates which.

I am desparately waiting to get my hands on the Ipod touch SDK ... soon apple soon we will get your applications ... give me the damn sdk .....

Well, you don't need 7.6 as far as users on Windows XP/Vista. However, the 'Apple Mobile Device' service crashed during the update, causing me to restore it completely.

In the end, it updated to 1.1.3.

hey guys, I updated my iPod touch to 1.1.3 using the itunes 7.3 or something like that. The only thing that changed was the theme of the icon bar at the bottom! Will it be ok if I upgrade to iTunes 1.7?or will I need to restore my iPod anyway?how can I fix this problem without restoring my iPod? I really want to try the mail and the other apps! Please help
