First Day of Finals

Posted on December 16, 2008 by d3so

Today, I have finals for my computer and math class. I have to turn in a paper for English as well. I finished the paper last night, but I wasn’t able to complete my take-home portion of the math final :p

As of this moment, I’m in school feeling too lazy to study or do anything. I believe the reason for this was the fact that I woke up at 4 AM in the morning to fix my iPod Touch. Last night, I attempted to upgrade my iPod from firmware 2.1 to 2.2. Something went wrong however, and everytime I tried to do a complete restore, it would fail as well. After searching online and finding no solutions, I gave up and went to sleep thinking I bricked my iPod

Then I woke up at 4 AM, attempting yet again to restore my iPod. This time I tried to restore on a different computer, suprisingly it worked! Unfortunately, all my music, movies, data, apps, etc. were lost.

In conclusion, I believe that computer settings, configurations, or other applications may affect the upgrading process. I noticed there was a problem when the iTunes upgrade status bar was on “Verifying iPod Software” for an excessive amount of time. When I aborted the whole thing, I found my iPod stuck in recovery mode. How I solved this was restoring on another PC. This needs to be fixed! Almost everytime I upgrade my iPod something goes wrong. If I had a million dollars, I would lay it all down betting that something will go wrong again next update
