The last three days I’ve noticed something very peculiar with iTunes. Ever since I upgraded my iPhone to 2.2.1, things have been fine for the first 2 days. Then I deleted a song and all of a sudden now every time I sync my iPhone, iTunes crashes. This has happened THIRTY times now.

So I googled and you’ll never believe what I’ve found – there are THOUSANDS of people who are having this exact same problem in the last several days. Some have deleted songs and then it crashed and some have not. So I thought it best to post what I did to fix my problem, so far. I have no idea if this solution will keep working, but at least I can sync my iPhone with all of my DRM and non-DRM content and it’s working.

CNET and MacNN have begun covering this debacle – I just hope other big blogs cover this so Apple will hurry and fix it.

Here’s the Apple forums for you to peruse if you’re having this problem. Click here.

Here’s what I did to get it working again:

(1) Deauthorized my computer in iTunes (Store -> Deauthorize Computer)

(2) Authorize my computer in iTunes (Store -> Authorize Computer) – NOTE: if you have AppleTV, this will reset it and AppleTV will have to sync all your content again, but this is normal and just fine. You won’t lose anything.

(3) Go into iTunes Store, purchase a free app.

(4) Sync.

For some reason, this is working for me. According to the Apple forums, it works for most of us and for others it doesn’t.

Apple, please hurry.

So, I’m 6 months late, but I finally got my new 3G iPhone (Christmas present) and I’m now official. Right off the bat, it is definitely faster which is an added bonus (and worth the $199 in my opinion) and the GPS is phenomenal. I love the blue little dot that literally follows you everywhere you go. If you speed up on a highway, the blue dot (on google maps) literally speeds up as well. Slow down? The blue dot slows down. It’s amazing.

Nonetheless, here you go. I can’t believe today is the last day of 2008. Thank God!

In this episode, I discuss the biggest question I have, “To 3G or Not to 3G…” that IS the question! I also discuss two of my most favorite iPhone 2.0 apps that EVERYONE must have. Finally, I discuss a dilemma I’m currently going through regarding Deco, my adorable little dog. I need YOUR advice, so please leave me a comment or two!

There have been lots of conflicting reports from all the main blog sites about the 3G iPhone. Are we going to have to activate the phone IN THE STORE and how long will that take? Oh, but wait, another blogger claims he has a “source” who says no, we won’t have to activate in store but you only get 30 days to activate your phone once you bring it home or it demolishes into bits and pieces.

So what’s really going on? Well, I found a phenomenal post by Gizmodo and I am giving Gizmodo the ENTIRE credit for this post. Everything below this line is the hard work of the Gizmodo team and God Bless them all. You must click on the link below!
