I was foolish enough and updated to Itunes 9.0 without really thinking.

Now my jailbroken iphone 3G (3.0) no longer syncs to itunes and prompts me to restore. The phone seems to be operating as normal although it’s useless without being able to sync to itunes.

What would happen if I restore to factory settings? lose jailbreak, and all contacts data etc?>

anyone having similar problems, any advice?

thanks

Watch out upgrading, this post is very misleading. It is NOT safe to upgrade to iTunes 9 if you are jailbroken and unlocked. iTunes checks online if your phone is valid and will not recognize your phone and not allow you to sync! You will get a message that the SIM card is invalid.

To downgrade, you need to uninstall iTunes 9, and QuickTime then install an older version of iTunes 8. I was able to find iTunes 8 by searching Google for “iTunes 8 download” and found a link on apple.com for it.

This was on a Windows 7 RC machine with a 3G iPhone on T-Mobile btw.

Anyone know a good site to download iTunes 8? All my iTunes come out with a missing file or something. Can anyone help?

My Itune 9.0 does not recognized my unlocked 2G. I had to reinstalled Itune 8.2 for phone to sync again. WATCH OUT if you have an unlocked phone. It looks like Apple is trying to restrict access to Itune 9 to only locked phone.
