We have been waiting for hours, but the iPhone 3.0 Update is finally here. The download in iTunes started by saying that it will only take 5 minutes, then the time started to get longer and longer, in all it took about 15 minutes. I can safely say that mine has now finished downloading and did not experience any problems.
I am surprised that my download and install went smoothly, I remember the last iPhone OS update; I had a number of issues and had to use the backup function in iTunes to get my phone running again. After downloading the update again, all was fine.
A number of our readers reported that they had nothing but trouble with iPhone OS 2.0, a number of them said that they were receiving an SSL error. Let us know how you got on today by adding a comment below.
My iPhone is now up and running with the new software, and a quick glance shows that all is fine. In the past users have reported bricked iPhone’s and iPods after installing new software, if this happens to you we would like you to share the details and give tips for other users.

My 3.0 update went very smooth if im honest. The only concern i now have is that the phone does appear to be a little sluggish that before with the 2.2.1. It took a while to finally be able to send an MMS message…..i also dont like the way that it send a SMS TEXT. Normally the green box would pop up into that chat when sent. Now it seems to pop up immediately with the sending bar at the top still to complete. Are push notifications working??? I had to manually check that if i had any new emails? I didnt have them PUSHED to the server as promised when i received new mail……
TO SUM UP….3.0 IS IN ITS EARLY STAGES…IM SURE APPLE ARE AWARE OF THE SMALL TEETHING PROBLEMS, AND I AM CONFIDENT THEY WILL BE IRONED OUT ASAP.
I downloaded the update and THOUGHT it had deleted all my apps. Turns out, they were all there…just had a blank page between the standard apps that come with the iphone and the apps I had downloaded. If you don’t see your apps, just go forward one page to see if they are there.
I have a HUGE problem with the Iphone 3.0 update. Firstly, I have an Iphone 3G which is NOT jailbroken…it is a perfectly legal one.
When I clicked on update in Itunes the download completed successfully, after which the problems started. My Iphone can only make emergency calls, and it says to connect to Itunes. When I connect to Itunes, I get an error message “we could not complete your Itunes Store request. An unknown error occurred (-1). Please try again later”
This happens even when my Iphone is not connected to my Mac. When I try to download an app, I get the same error message which leads me to believe the problem is with the Itunes Store and not with my phone. I can’t even restore it, as the phone summary screen is blank on Itunes.
Any suggestions on what I can do to resolve this issue? In the meantime, I would advise people to stay away from Iphone 3.0, not matter how tempting it looks!
1. MMS does not work for AT&T. That’s why some of you don’t see the option in the messages app.
2. The person who lost all his contacts.. I presume you’re using nuevasync to sync with google. They know about the problem.. it’s basically because the nuevasync servers are overloaded, but be patient, your contacts will return eventually.
3. I had the blank page of apps scare too, but all the apps are there.
4. My iPhone upgraded flawlessly on my laptop, but when I upgraded my wife’s on her older laptop.. disaster… i had to eventually do a restore on my laptop first and then another restore on her’s after the 3.0 upgrade happened.
5. My iPhone also seem sluggish now.
i downloaded everything fine last night but today for some reason sense i woke up it says i have no sim card installed and ive restarted it 3 times and i might restore but only if i have to
has this happend to anyone else?
i have the solution, it worked for me and my friends, open internet explorer, go to tools at the top, clicked on advanced, then scroll down to ‘check for publishers certificate revocation. worked first time with me after i un ticked it. hope it all works for you lot.
sorry its not that one , its Open Internet Explorer, click the Tools tab, Internet options.
Click the Advanced tab, scroll down to Security, and untick the box Check for server certificate revocation*
It worked for me.

i checked the data sotrage and i got 4gb left.
so the space on the memory shouldnt be the problem.
