Some reports of iTunes issues while upgrading to 3.0

tried to update my iphone. then the itunes moniker and the plug in used to connect to the computer come up and now it tells me that my phone is in recovery mode and i have to reset. but won't i lose all of my contacts and calendar info if i do that? what else can i do?

the update process worked nicely but, unfortunately, now i have SLOW BACKUP syndrome.
DAMN! don't they test they're software before releasing?

The whole UI (lines) in my contacts are messed up. Very strange. Looks half baked at best.

Original iPhone on GoPhone $20 for 100MB data plan. Upgrade killed EDGE service. Moved back to 2.2.1, data is working again. I wonder if there are some strange APN settings baked into the upgrade.

My iPhone 3G is hanging on backup ... over 20 minutes.

I had 3.0 beta 5 and it is telling me no update available??

I was frustrated like everyone else by my inability to update my iPhone 3G to iPhone OS 3.0 due to the iPhone Activation server not being available. I wrote a quick 6 step fix for this, which has worked for myself and 14 others - flawlessly every time.

Please note: In order for the steps below to work, you MUST already have the iPhone OS 3.0 update on your PC/MAC which you downloaded either through iTunes or Apple directly.

1. Plug in your iPhone into your USB Port

2. Select Update

3. While on the Extracting screen for the update, quickly disconnect from the Internet. You MUST do this while it is extracting, as it will immediately try to contact the Apple Servers once it has extracted the update.

4. Your iPhone and iTunes will not even try to check in with Apple because they realize you are in offline mode. This will enable the update to go through and load onto your iPhone without having to call out to the Activation Server.

5. Now, when it's all done, you'll be "stuck" in emergency mode. No worries. Just unplug your iPhone from your USB (You'll still be in emergency mode) and go ahead and turn your internet back on again. Make sure to wait until your iPhone disappears from the list of devices in iTunes!

6. Once you are back online, simply plug in the iPhone USB cable again, and then iTunes will quickly activate your iPhone in a matter of just 2-3 seconds.

Enjoy iPhone OS 3.0 :)

Mine is stuck with a full progress bar and nothing is happening... what do I do? Unplug and try again?!?!

I got the 3.0 update after the third try... then I tried to update my apps and I keep getting an error message... can't purchase the app because the network connection has been reset...
Does anyone know how I can resolve this?

I keep getting the error 9006, anyone know what it is?
