2.0 & iTunes 7.1 Screwed Original iPhone Big Time!

It seems a lot of people are having issues with 2.0 and 7.1 iTunes but wondering if anyone is seeing these issues. I've add my original iPhone since Day 1 release (yes, 4 hours in line) and have been preaching the praises of Apple and this phone for the past year, I cannot be without it. Now with 2.0 and 7.1, I AM ******!
Nothing has worked correctly since this download. My touchscreen is f'd. I cannot forward email, the button simply does not work when pressed. The 'Save Picture' also does not work when pressed. I managed to become a master at typing on the touchscreen keyboard and now when I touch the letters they are highlighted as the correct letters, but a completely different letter shows up on the screen and AutoCorrect doesn't even recognize it. My caps lock will come on on its own and the delete button gets stuck on and deletes multiple lines of tex. Everything with this recent download has brought my phone to a crawl in addition to constant lock ups and reboots.
There are many others, but the biggest is the touchscreen issue. Are there others out there having the same issue? If there is a fix, please let me know, otherwise, Apple, how the **** did you miss such a simple software test?
Also, I want to move to 3G, anyone having these screen issues with 3G?

Short, I guess we were posting the same issue at the same time--or else I would've just replied to your thread w/o beginning my own. Agreed. Same issues as you (and more) since 2.0 and iTunes updates.
I really hope there is a fix because this stinks.

  • My iTunes album artwork is messed up big time!

    Suddenly, almost all of the album artwork for my albums in iTunes library on my iMac is incorrect!  The wrong album artwork is displayed for almost all albums in my iTunes library.  I'm using iTunes Match, which may have caused the problem, because I never had a problem like this prior to iTunes Match.  I've tried disabling then re-enabling iTunes Match, and the album art is still foobar.
    Oddly, I have a MacBook Pro which on which I'm using iTunes Match, and all of the (same) albums artwork appear correct.

    I had this problem. I found if you turn iTunes Match off on your iPod/iPad/iPhones then sync the device to itunes. Uncheck Sync Music then click sync. This will remove all your music (i guess you knew that ), now go back to your iOS device and turn iTunes Match back on. After about 5 mins or so (well it was in my case) all your songs and art work will be as it should...
    The only downside to this is you will have to download form the cloud all the songs you want to take with you
    I can only guess that Apple thought we would stream most of our music and not keep it on our devices?
    I just wish Apple would be more clearer on the workings of Itunes Match, its a very good service but not having clear instuctions leaves many to write it off as a bad idea.... as I almost did.
    Still I hope this helps.

  • Fix? Update?  mobile me slowed response of my iphone BIG TIME

    I thought it was my phone until my son said his phone was mega slow at responding. No matter what I do on my iPhone, it is VERY, VERY slow to respond. It was FINE before this "push" bit. And we're not talking about just taking 15 minutes for calendar, contacts, email to arrive -- that I don't care about at all. I'm talking about the entire phone -- everything about it. I can click on ANY icon on home page and it takes some time to respond and THEN I get a blank white page before anything shows up.
    I mean, if Apple doesn't fix THIS ONE, I'm canceling my .mac account just so I don't HAVE to be on mobile me! It's now OH MOBILE ME OH MOBILE MY! it ***** at this point!
    Anyone else experiencing this anomaly.

    Guess I could try that. But I'd be interested to know if others are having this problem.

  • Disk Utility's "Erase Free Space" screwed me over big time.  Help Please.

         Hey, I have a serious dillema.  I free'd up disk space on my mac by transfering files to an external drive, and then used Disk Utility to erase unused disk space to do a thorough cleaning.  Now it seems that out of thin air, Disk Utility said my Mac is out of disk space....it basically filled up my hard drive with 370GB's of god knows what.
    Here's exactly what I did, step by step:
    Basically, I wanted to clean up my hard drive a bit, as I was using about 500GB's out of my 750GB HD (on my MBP 10.6.8)
    -Before I did this test, I did a verify + repair disk permissions, I also organized my computer's files... and just to be safe, I booted up from the D key so I could do an extended hardware test to see if everything was running smoothly.  I then zapped the PRam.  This was my pre-clean maintenence check.
    -Then I transferred all of my files onto my external disk.
    -After this was done, I dumped the files (that I used to transfer to my External) into the trash bin.
    -I emptied the trash bin.
    -Now I free'd up hundreds of GB's of space.
    -It said that I had 376 GB's of free space in my hard drive.  Yay. 
    Now here where it all went wrong:
    -I heard that if you go into Disk Utility, and click on "Erase Free Space" that it goes over all the delted files (that aren't actually permanently deleted) and it permanently deletes them so that it frees up all the loose ends on your mac.  I didn't want any ghost files, or any old installs or whatever...so I thought, yes.
    Now...Disk Utility was doing this for me....and 2 hours later....it said that I was out of disk space.  Disk Utility froze around the 90% completion-mark when it was "Creating Volume" (or something like that) and I had to quit Disk Utility.
    Then, I exited....went onto my desk top and checked my Hard Drive. 
    It said that I had ZERO KB's available. 
    My hard disk was completely full.   How is this even possible?   I had 376 GB's of EMPTY space 2 hours earlier.
    I tried to go into all of my files to see if there were any duplicates made..I checked terminal to see what went wrong, I checked console...I searched, and I searched...and nothing. 
    What.  The.  Heck. 
    Can someone please, please help me?

    Boot from your installation disc, erase the internal drive in Disk Utility, reinstall OS X, copy the files from your backup, and then run Software Update.

  • I have an original IPhone that can't connect to ITunes. I did a factory reset and restored to firmware version 3.1.3. Please note that both my ITouches (2nd and 3rd gen) sync to ITunes perfectly. However, the IPhone never connects. Thoughts?

    OK, my original iphone has just completed a factory restore. It's connected to my laptop, and ITunes restored it to firmware 3.1.3. Now, I can't connect to the ITunes store. I get an error message every time stating connection timed out, or something to that effect. Well, both my IPod Touch 2nd gen and 3rd gen connect perfectly to ITunes, so I doubt it's related to proxy settings, firewalls, or anything of the sort (believe me, I've spend 15 hours researching this without an answer). So, is there a problem with the original iphone with version 3.1.3 syncing with ITunes version 10.5.1 (the most recent one)?
    I would LOVE an answer as this is driving me crazy.
    Thanks.

    Mine had a SIM in it. Originally, when I took out the SIM and tried to restore it with nothing in it, it wouldn't work without a SIM card. So ... I took the SIM that was in that phone previously, put it back in and completed the system restore. I then proceeded to go through the process with AT&T of adding a data plan, which I did, and then it successfully completed the system restore. However, now if I run diagnostics on it, it will not verify ITunes Store. If I try to connect to ITunes store, I'll get the network connection timed out error I referenced earlier in this thread. I'm considering jailbreaking it and putting on an earlier software version. Your thoughts?

  • I have an Original iPhone & my iTunes was Stolen

    I need advice. I have an original iphone and until a few months ago it was synced up with iTunes on my MacBook. My MacBook was stolen and that is where my iTunes was stored. What do I do? My backup is now gone and if I plug it into another iTunes won't I lose all my data and songs? Help! I'm frustrated because I can't add music.

    Your external drive used for backing up the important data on your MacBook including your iTunes library on your MacBook was stolen also?
    iTunes includes an option to transfer iTunes content purchased/downloaded from the iTunes store from an iPod or iPhone, but this is for iTunes content that was purchased/downloaded from the iTunes store only.
    First you need to authorize the computer you plan on using with your iTunes account with iTunes. With your iPhone connected and without syncing, at the iTunes menu bar go to File and select Transfer Purchases From - the name of your iPhone. If all 3rd party apps don't transfer, you can re-download the apps with iTunes on the computer and you won't be charged again for a purchased app as long as you use the same iTunes account to re-download the app that was used to purchase the app originally.

  • Original iPhone not able to connect in iTunes

    I got my original iPhone out for my son to use for music and games today. I was able to sync and back it up without issue. However, when i was trying to update the software something happened. I wasn't sitting at my computer so I'm not sure what. Now I have a wiped phone. In trying to get it to sync back up with iTunes it does appear under 'Devices' but it won't connect and only provides me an option to Eject. No restore, etc.
    I don't need the info on the phone (I already got the pictures), but I would like to be able to sync my music and add some new games on to it.
    Any help in getting this working would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks, miless. Good idea. The problem is I can't get into the phone. It's wiped clean at this point. I just deleted the backup file for this phone thinking that was part of the problem also.

  • My Iphone 4 crashed and I lost my entire contact list. I restored it to original factory settings but in trying to restore my data from my laptop via Itunes.. this was the feedback: Itunes could not restore the Iphone Dr Johnny Siu Chong because the Iphon

    My Iphone 4 crashed and I lost my entire contact list. I restored it to original factory settings but in trying to restore my data from my laptop via Itunes.. this was the feedback: Itunes could not restore the Iphone Dr Johnny Siu Chong because the Iphone refused the request.
    I cannot get help from Apple support because i am being asked to supply the serial number which is stored on the phone and I cannot restore my data in the first place. I am reluctant to "Set up as a new Iphone" since I don't know whether if I do I  may not then be able to access my data from Itunes...
    Please advise what to do. I did not see any tutorials on Youtube to help me with this.
    I look forward to an early response.

    Hey joshuafromisr,
    If you resintall iTunes, it should fix the issue. The following document will go over how to remove iTunes fully and then reinstall. Depending on what version of Windows you're running you'll either follow the directions here:
    Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP

    or here:
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7

  • I have an original iPhone. With latest version of iTunes, 10.5, it doesn't sync anymore.  I know its old but does anyone know what happened?

    I have an original iphone.  With the latest version of itunes, 10.5, it no longer syncs.  The name of my device doesn't appear in itunes just a gneric iphone.  I know its old and apple no longer provides updates to ios but taking away my ablilty to sync is hard to believe.  Any suggestions

    Did you do a backup of iOS before you changed iTunes?
    I would do a reverse and go back to the old iTunes, then update your iPhone and then update iTunes.
    Version 4.x of iOS has been out forever, update, update, update.....it is very important to maintain compatability in hardware & software devices/pcs'/Macs.

  • Original iPhone not Fully Registering in iTunes

    Have the original iPhone (AT&T).
    Have not connected to my computer/iTunes in months.
    Attempted to connect it today and was hit with iTunes needs updating, proceeding with the updates, should be the newest iTunes running.
    When I connect the iPhone it shows up in the LEFT sidebar in the DEVICES section.  Although it simply says iPhone for the name.  It attempts to SYNC, but appears to not do anything, this process takes all of about 3 seconds perhaps, unusual.  At that point, the MAIN screen to the RIGHT simply says 'iPhone'.  None of the information that is typically there or was there in the past is present.  It's simply blank.
    As for the actual phone.  It's working and appears fine.  One thing I will note is that the iPhone over the past few months has had issues staying connected to a WiFi that prior it had zero issues staying connected to in the past.  Otherwise, the phone seems to be doing fine.
    Any ideas?

  • Have an original iPhone 3G. Can you still sync iTunes (10.6) and Contacts after Lion install?

    Have an original iPhone 3G. Can you still sync iTunes (10.6) and Contacts after Lion install?

    An older iTunes will not open the library once used by a newer version.
    iTunes 10.6.3 will work with iOS6 as long as the hardware doesn't post-date the release of 10.7  Use iTunes 10.6.3 on both machines.
