Rufus T. Firefly Posted September 14, 2008 Share Posted September 14, 2008 I've used 7.7.1 and i was on 2.0.2 (jailbroken) and of course the slow backup speed. At least it backed up. So now Im on iTunes 8 with the 2.1 jailbroken firmware. I get the error messege in the picture. . . I reinstalled iTunes 8 no luck, deleted my old backups, no luck. Could this be an iTunes problem or the jailbroken firmware problem? Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/125891-backups-using-itunes-8/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

MiniBUU Posted September 14, 2008 Share Posted September 14, 2008 with Pwnage - I usually get a 2001 error, and with quickpwn it get stuck on the white screen for a while and then I would have to hold down the power button it turns on and its still normal like it never was even touched.

Headrush69 Posted September 14, 2008 Share Posted September 14, 2008 Working fine here with 2.1 jailbreak. (Using Pwnage) Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/125891-backups-using-itunes-8/#findComment-889936 Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiniBUU Posted September 14, 2008 Share Posted September 14, 2008 to be truthful ive had a hardtime getting the phone in modeb as well. I hold down both buttons for 10sec release power while still holding down the home button, but everytime it says I fail. But if I hold down the power button afterwords then it goes into modeb but for pwnage it wont work, quickpwn will recognize it and then I just hit no to redoing it.

Could this be an iTunes problem or the jailbroken firmware problem? I had also that problem, what I did for iTunes to backup my iPhone is that I deleted a lof of the apps on the iPhone, then the backup was easy and very fast, since re-installing the apps is faster than back up the iPhone. Now with 2.1 probably backup will be faster. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/125891-backups-using-itunes-8/#findComment-890160 Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmdshft Posted September 14, 2008 Share Posted September 14, 2008 I have an iPod touch, but iTunes isn't giving me any option to backup my iPod. Any idea why? Or better yet, how to fix it? EDIT: Found the fix: Quit iTunes and open terminal and type "defaults write com.apple.iTunes DeviceBackupsDisabled -bool false" without the quotes, then open iTunes again and the backup option is available.

Rufus T. Firefly Posted September 14, 2008 Author Share Posted September 14, 2008 macgirl: I'm not too concerned about the speed it's the lack of being able to backup period. I did however delete apps from the phone that I normally don't use too often. I still keep getting the error message in my first post, it says that the phone disconnected but it truly isnt because iTunes is still connect to the phone.

Rufus T. Firefly Posted September 14, 2008 Author Share Posted September 14, 2008 well another thing that ticked me off was appearently I can't downgrade iTunes to 7.7.1 because i'm on 2.1 firmware this is driving me nuts.

macgirl Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 Well, now my backups are very fast, previous backups were 3 hrs, or so, now in a minute or two.

MiniBUU Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 Do you at least get the option to "treat iphone as new" so that way you can start a fresh set of backups? Or maybe change the name of your iphone and see if it will backup?

Rufus T. Firefly Posted September 15, 2008 Author Share Posted September 15, 2008 when i first setup after jailbreaking 2.1 i checked that option "setup as new iPhone" so i don't think that route is going to give me anything I renamed it but still, nothing. Which I didn't see how a simple rename would work.

MiniBUU Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 Okay, I got the same message you did. What I did to fix it was just rebooted the phone while everything was plugged in and deleted the app from itunes. I had the app on my phone. When it booted back up it recognized it and worked like normal. It only happened once and has been fine ever since.

Rufus T. Firefly Posted September 18, 2008 Author Share Posted September 18, 2008 Today I got an error msg "... because the iPhone disconnected", so I delete the previous backup, then selected again backup the iPhone and it was done. As I've stated numerous times, I delete all my backups and tried to backup and and nothing happened besides the error. So that is of no use to me. Now having said this I figured out the problem, rather research did. It turns out the the mobileinstallation file that I had was the culprit. I needed to download a patched version for 2.1. So I installed it and it did the trick. Backups do take quite a fraction as they once did So yeah...

Rufus T. Firefly Posted September 19, 2008 Author Share Posted September 19, 2008 Well now I ran into another problem appearently i can backup with iTunes but some applications crash on me Perhaps it's due to wrong permission on the mobileinstallation file. I was wondering what gets backuped anyway? Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/125891-backups-using-itunes-8/#findComment-897846 Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSn1™ Posted September 20, 2008 Share Posted September 20, 2008 Yup. 2.1 backups way faster! Hope that problems are fixed in 2.1. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/125891-backups-using-itunes-8/#findComment-898221 Share on other sites More sharing options...
macgirl Posted September 20, 2008 Share Posted September 20, 2008 My iPhone never booted completely with previous MobileInstallation, so that was the first thind I did after the quickpwn, I googled it, turns that macrumors forum had a link Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/125891-backups-using-itunes-8/#findComment-898297 Share on other sites More sharing options...
