Further iPod adventures…

Oddly enough… (After updating iTunes to official 7.7)
Okay… the devPod had firmware v.2.0(5A345) – the last beta version. But iTunes thought it was v.2.0 so it wouldn’t let me upgrade the devPod the easy way.
And Apple wouldn’t let me pay for the touch 2.0 update (v.2.0(5A347)) again using the same Apple ID. (I’m not going to object – it does mean that a multi-iPod touch family only needs to pay$10 once no matter how many touches they have. Not sure if it’s intentional or not. Or maybe Apple assumes only one family per touch?)
The iTunes store did say I could download another copy… but that didn’t work for some reason — so I copied the file from the Powerbook I use with my regular touch and used that. Once THAT was complete (didn’t take long because the devPod doesn’t have much any normal multi-media files on it.) I also had to re-Provision it in XCode. And reenter the wi-fi pwd for my home network.
But nothing else so far…
And, as usual… updating XCode for the iPhone was the usual hassle -

  1. log into the Apple iPhone dev center
  2. Download the 1.25GB XCode 3.1 disk image.
  3. Install XCode
  4. Download the 600+MB of Xcode/iPhone docs within XCode (It’s not included in the disk image anymore)
  5. Use it…

I really need to get going on my iPhone/touch apps. The non-work related ones anyway…
