Abused

Per suggestions from Apple, I updated the iTunes software and also the iPhone software. Except the iPhone update stalled -- it kept trying to verify that the newly installed data was working -- so I hit the restore button, and then that process stalled. So I called the Apple guys for "help"....hah! 45 minutes later the iPhone was unrestored and still unusable.

I now have a 3 pm appointment with the Genius guys at the Apple store at the Grove to try and get this stupid issue resolved. I have no choice but to do this. Thank you, Apple, for ruining 90 minutes of my morning, and causing me to lose another two hours this afternoon.

Jeff,

You need to hold off on updates and watch for bugs/fixes here:

You should subscribe to their RSS, if you know what that is.

And I should say I have a macbook and a touch, so, I'm not unsympathetic to the shiny appeal.

Mac: less functionality and higher priced than a PC, but hey it's pretty and shows you have lots of money!

Why does apple need to provide good service when they have legions of fanboys who will buy their expensive disposable products every year?

The update slowed up on me but not to the extent it fucked your iPhone up...out of curiosity, are you on a PC or Mac?

Yeah, that "restore" button is like passing through the gates of hell. It can fuck your life up. The same thing happened to me when I did the iPhone 2.0 software update.

Has Apple devolved from it's former stable, kick ass operating system. When we were allowed to use a Mac for our Avid editing sytem it rocked. Ever since we changed to PC's Avid sucks.
