These past few days, all of Apple hell has broken loose. First, the MobileMe switch from .Mac didn’t go so well. The MobileMe rollercoaster been going up and down, and looping around and around. This just sucks.

Second of all, during the launch day of the highly-anticipated iPhone 3G, the Activation Servers go down, and people are being sent home without a functioning iPhone. They’re being told that a home-activating solution is being worked on as we speak/blog.

The third issue that the demons of hell have unleashed is that the iTunes Store Upgrade/Download page is having some difficulties.

And lastly…just click below and enlarge the screenshot for a description of what’s happening right now. Look at my previous posts for fixes to all of these (except the iPhone 3G activation).

Finally, Apple’s posted the new iPod touch and iPhone firmware and MobileMe’s been released without flaws the firmware’s been leaked for the iPod touch! Apple, F U. Oh, and using this method, you also bypass the $9.95 price tag Apple would throw at you if you bought this officially. The download link below is the final version of the iPod touch 2.0 firmware. I also included the iPhone firmware link (even though it’s been out for quite a while), a how-to video with Brian Tong on installing it, and some images reflecting my anger before this leak (not made by me). NOTE: You also need to upgrade iTunes, link below.

Sweet Victory, sweet, sweet victory. Yes, the folks at the Unofficial Official iPhone Dev Team have successfully cracked the iPhone 3G and it’s 2.0 firmware.

Well, MobileMe, since it’s launch today, has been on and off for the past 16 hours or so. Well, I (Alex66) am here to help you with my super-secret link. https://auth.apple.com/authenticate?service=DockStatus&realm=primary-me . That’s it. Click it, and you’re all set. You might want to bookmark it. I can confirm it works, a screenshot below.

From these screenshots taken from the iPhone 3G Guided Tour video, we can confirm that the Twitteriffic, TypePad, eBay, and AIM apps will all be free. The Super Monkey Ball app/game will be $9.99.

When you download an app, it’ll appear on the homescreen as an icon, and it’ll say Loading… or Installing… with a progress bar on the icon. When it finishes, you can toy arround with your new app
