[confucious]

I'd gathered.
The only super secret stuff I do involves sheep.

[StealthBravo]

Possibly an update to break the Palm Pre from syncing with iTunes? Seems like the perfect time to do that, 4 days from release date.

[marlon0923]

does this only efffect mac users or both mac and pc users.

[StealthBravo]

Mac and pc

Hallo. Can anyone confirm that.

I have a 3G 2.2.1 jailbroken and just updated to new itunes.

I use iFunBox to connect my PC with the iPhone but this app crashes now. I tried iPhonebrowser too, but it also crashes.

Any Help, ideas ? Must be the new f... itunes.

I updated to iTunes 8.2.0.23 on PC, my jailbroke 2.2.1 iPhone 3G connects and syncs fine. I can SSH into the phone using WinSCP.

Yeah I'll continue to wait. I'm jailbroken with 8.2 pre and running beta5. The pre release of 8.2 works just fine so why flux with it.

quote from the Dev Team
That tempting "update" button
Yesterday, Apple started pushing out their official iTunes 8.2, which supports mobile devices at firmware 3.0. Here’s why you jailbreakers and yellowsn0w-users shouldn’t really accept that “Update now?” question:

•Most people aren’t at 3.0. In fact 3.0 is still in beta and has lots of bugs (especially related to push updates).
•It breaks your ability to use QuickPwn, PwnageTool, and iPhone Tunneling Suite (ssh over usb). We don’t think this is a deliberate breakage of these tools. It’s just that Apple has updated a low-level USB protocol that normally only Apple cares about (but jailbreakers care about).
•So far, the only appreciable change to iTunes 8.2 is the Genius function working on videos.
•It may actually break Palm Pre’s connection to the device (please give us feedback on this).
This update is one of those that incidentally breaks QuickPwn and PwnageTool. It doesn’t seem like an anti-jailbreak. But nonetheless, it will break your ability to re-run QuickPwn or PwnageTool’s dfu-entry.

Because this update isn’t a deliberate anti-jailbreak measure, it’s easily fixed in our tools. But we really don’t want to update our tools until 3.0 is out, so please don’t update to 8.2 if you think you’ll need to rejailbreak your device.

I think I will be waiting until 3.0 is out like they advise

I'm not having any issues with sync. Have had my phone jailbroken for months, though.

[sunshinejenn03]

Not jailbroken here, did the update, didn't lose any music nor any problems syncing my iphone with itunes, so far.

[ronzo]

I'm not having any issues with the update either and have a 2G phone running 2.2.1 that has been jailbroken for a while using QwickPwn. But just for the record, if it were necessary to do a re- jailbreak, could one uninstall the 8.2 and Apple Mobile Device Support, then reinstall 8.1.1 and go from there?

[StealthBravo]

^ yes you can

[mr.sparky]

will doing that mess up the itunes library?

[Du Blex]

say if i have to re-jailbreak my phone and i just unlock my phone, will that count as jailbreaking? And wouldn't there be legal issues going on with this? I mean, apple is stopping the function of a program without permission. wouldn't people easily be able to sue?

[sipher]

i update my itunes and and re-sync my iphone without any problems

jailbroken
unlock
with 2.2.1
2g

[ronzo]

your library would still be on your pc. All you would have to do is reload your media folders into itunes.

[confucious]

^ yes you can

But far easier not to upgrade in the first place.




Baaaaaaa
