I'm trying to update my iPhone and iTunes keeps saying the 1.1.4 is the current version. Argh!
I had to have the iPhone connected and check for a newer version of iTunes (even though I updated to iTunes 7.7 last night). It said it had the newest version, but there was a new version of the iPhone.
Of course, Theo's jealousy has caused problems -- in trying to install the new firmware, it encountered an error, and is now telling me that the device keeps timing out. I'm tring to eject the iPhone and restart everything to try again (the software is downloaded, I just can't get it onto my phone just yet).
You wouldn't like me when I'm jealous.
I'll get you, missy.
And your little dog, too.
iPhone is finally updating to 2.0.
Reading over the features for 2.0, it seems like the only things I'd be missing by *not* buying a new iPhone is the full 3G functionality and full GPS.
Can't decide if that's worth it or not.

Both my bosses are in line for iPhones. So I had to debug all this complex SQL that one of my bosses wrote (that I'd never looked at before) using a very slow remote connection to the client's office in Washington DC, while my boss talked to me on his cell, explaining what to look for in the stored procedures. Periodically our conversation was interrupted by the cheering of the folks in the iPhone line (every time someone walked out with a new iPhone, those in line cheered).
But I managed to find all the bugs, and the client is happy. The end.

Are they in this picture?

Nah. They went to an Apple store in some suburb, as it was closer than downtown Chicago .
Well, I've completed the install of the new software on the phone, but now something is not seeing something....
iTunes can see the phone is connected, but can't actually see the phone itself, or the phone can't see the iTunes store through the iTunes interface, or something...
basically, the actually phone settings page won't show up in iTunes, and, as yet, I can't actually put new stuff on the phone. Or something.
Might have to eject again and restart the computer. Let's hope that does the trick.
Well, after being down for a few hours, my iPhone is working again.
eta: i had to plug my phone in and then disconnect it. Eventually, it worked.
