MobileMe Up, iTunes Down. As In, Locking Users Out
Aug-19-2008 3:13:31 AM [Christopher Price][Site Comments]
The latest iPhone update finally makes MobileMe work. But, many
are still
having issues with iTunes.
With iPhone 2.0.2, many have reported in (and we've confirmed as
well) that
MobileMe finally works as promised with iPhone and iPod touch.
Contact,
calendar, and mail data does download properly whenever you open
any of
these apps. And, unlike other versions, it actually does so
quickly. We
tested iPhone 3G on AT&T HSDPA, and MobileMe was able to download
500
contacts, and 1500 calendar events. in under 30 seconds.
But, the bigger problem remains iTunes. Apple has begun to
acknowledge that
many iTunes users have been completely locked out of their
purchased content
from the iTunes Store. The bug surfaced in the latest version of
iTunes,
7.7.1, and appears to mostly be hitting Mac users. While Apple has
not
pinned down the problem internally, the bug essentially locks
users out of
being able to play any purchased, copy-protected content. That
includes
Music, Movies, TV Shows, and. the App Store.
The problem is what Apple refers to as an "authorization loop".
This is
essentially where the user is repeately asked to authorize (log
in) their
computer. When the user logs in to iTunes, the application reports
success.
but then asks the user to log in again. This repeats in an
infinite loop.
While other problems can cause this set of symptoms, this bug is not
resolvable by the user. Apple's posted list of fixes for a
reauthorization
loop do not work with iTunes 7.7.1.
One of PhoneNews.com's own systems was affected by this problem. We
performed a clean install of Mac OS X, iTunes, and built a new
iTunes
Library to no avail. The only workaround we came up with. was
migrating the
entire iTunes Library to another computer. A PC.
Apple has made no public statement about the bug, but individual
users that
contact iTunes Customer Service are told Apple is aware of the
issue.
However, the problem is serious enough that developers affected by
the issue
have been requested to hand over computer logs. This appears to
indicate
that Apple has yet to pinpoint the root cause of the problem.
almost two
weeks after it began affecting users.
