I have a 3G on 2.2.1JB and i'm using 8.1 on a Macbook Pro as I'm typing this. I've synced and i'm adding media to my phone(music/audio book), No problems so far... Hope that helps.

Has anyone successfully jailbroken their iPhone/iTouch with iTunes 8.1?

I agree... however, if they were to somehow integrate Netflix into the mix (which they never would), then we may have something.

THAT is the question that needs to be answered. Nothing else in this thread really matters at all.

[QUOTE=billchase2;3561861]It's been released:


iTunes 8.1 is now faster and more responsive. You will enjoy noticeable improvements when working with large libraries, browsing the iTunes Store, preparing to sync with iPod or iPhone, and optimizing photos for syncing.

In addition, iTunes 8.1 provides many other improvements and bug fixes, including:

- Allows CDs to be imported at the same sound quality as iTunes Plus


Does this mean I need to re-import all my CDs to get the higher sound quality?

no problems syncing my jailbroken and unlocked 2.2.1 2g 16gig iphone
so i say its safe!

Just synced my 1st generation iPhone with iTunes 8.1. No problems here. iPhone specifics: Software 2.2.0; JB - yes; Unlocked - yes. Sync was as uneventful as it has been with iTunes 8.0.

Please note I am NOT using Software 2.2.1. I don't upgrade software unless there's a very good reason to do so. 2.2.1 didn't give me a reason. :-)

The timing of the release of iTunes 8.1 is curious, specially when you take into consideration Apple's stance and actions directed at jailbroken / unlocked iPhones.

1. New MAC OSX computers break the DFU restore process that QuickPwn and PwnageTool use.
   
2. Apple quietly released 2.2.1 firmware update for iPhone and iPhone 3G which breaks unlocking.
   
3. Apple announces that "jailbreaking" is illegal.
   
4. Apple & AT&T announces the limitation of 18 months between purchases for replacements, upgrades and additional iPhones. This was definately a tactic aimed at limiting the supply of jailbroken / unlocked iPhones.
   
5. Apple releases iTunes 8.1 update. Will iTunes 8.1 try to detect jailbroken / unlocked iPhones? Will it try to block the DFU restore mode used in jailbreaking software?

I hate being suspicious of Apple's intentions, but lately that's hard. Anyone updating to iTunes 8.1, let the community know of any problems with jailbroken or jailbroken/unlocked iPhones.

thanks river0. i'm coming from the same place as you. i don't upgrade until there's a worthwhile reason to. i'm also at 2.2 so as long as it's safe with 8.1, i'll probably upgrade itunes at least. but as for the 3.0 iphone software...it would have to be worth it

[tsatryan]

The issue is not if you can sync your iPhone with the new iTunes version. I would doubt that there would be any problems with that. The question is if you can jailbreak with the new iTunes. I do not want to upgrade iTunes to later find out that jailbreaking will no longer work. Until I read that someone has taken their iPhone and performed a successful jailbreak with the new version of iTunes, I will not be "upgrading" to it.

I have somewhat answered this, just across more than one post...

I had FW 2.2 jailbroken, I upgraded to iTunes 8.1. Afterwards, I hooked up the iPhone and had an alert box pop up telling me that there was a new firmware version 2.2.1. I cancelled since I wanted to stay jailbroken. a few seconds later iTunes put my iPhone 3G 16 GB into restore mode and was trying to update to 2.2.1. I promptly unplugged the iPhone, turned it off. Pulled up pwnage tool, updated it. I then built a jailbroken 2.2.1 ipsw, pulled up iTunes 8.1 and loaded 2.2.1 jailbroken. Have been in the process of finding all of the packages that I had before the upgraded firmware.

So it is safe to sync with iTunes, it is okay to load a jailbroken ipsw via iTunes 8.1...it is safe to upgrade.

That's strange... maybe when you update to iTunes 8.1 it defaults to automatically update firmware... that's why whenever i update any program i make sure to go through the settings and see if everything is still the same. Didn't think my paranoia would actually come to fruition but at least good to know someone can custom update firmware still through iTunes
