iPhone 3G Useless Backup And Restore

If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!

All the photos I took using my new iPhone 3G gone :(

This morning, I found my iPhone 3G (firmware 2.0.1) looks like something wrong, all the music on it seems missing. I have been trying to re-sync it for so many times, it seems the files are there but just not showing on the iPod on iPhone.

Finally in the afternoon I saw there is a firmware 2.0.2 for update, so I try to update it but the problem stay the same, no music at all.

Then I start to do the restore, I thought the backup is working all right so I didn’t go and backup my photos (which actually the backup process will not back it up anyway, I have to use Picasa to copy the photos but I forgot to do it), the restore seems going all right.

The next thing my nightmare came, the backup set actually not working (which is only for 2.0.1) and now I lost all my SMS and Photos (contacts, calendar and email is all right because real copy are in my Outlook).

Damn it stupid Apple, what kind of backup and restore you are doing…you make me feel so unhappy :(

iPhone 3G 2.01 updated

Just updated to the latest 2.01 firmware (250MB), can’t see any changes yet, after few days try out should have some news here ;)

stay tuned….stupid iTunes

Internet Explorer 8 Beta 1

Just download and install the Internet Explorer 8 Beta 1. After I restart my PC and first run it, everything seems all right. When I started to make a blog post in here (wordpress standalone), the IE8 Beta 1 just CRASH!!! and for 3 times it said CONFLICT with the Google Toolbar I have when using the IE6, lol, why they want to push Google away???

Ok, so I remove the Google Toolbar for IE, then try to write new post in blog here again, this time just run OK BUT all the CSS and layout went wrong. Hmmm, when I download this IE8 Beta 1, it stated for professional and web developers, but seems like they still want to keep their own CSS and layout with not compatible to other browsers in the market (at least Firefox, Safari and Opera always quite similar in working with CSS and Layout)

A bit dissapointed with the new IE8 Beta 1. Oh ya, I don’t like Vista, so I never use the IE7, now I know my decision is correct, stay with IE6 until the 7 and 8 both stable ;)

FireFox 3 rc1

Have been testing the Firefox 3 Beta till rc1 for a month now. The performance is quite good. I can’t wait to check the release version soon and have all my favourite plug-ins/add-ons to test with.

Now I am making this post from my CentOS 5.0 Gnome Desktop with the Linux version of Firefox 3 rc1. Seems like looks the same like it runs on my Windows XP and Mac OSX Leopard.
