“It just works…?” Not!!

Posted on    by

I’ve had the iPad 2 for just over 2 months now. Never jailbroke it (it became possible just a few days ago). Never installed anything that didn’t come off the iTunes store on it. Never used it for anything other than its intended use.

So, I decided to hook it up to iTunes this morning to see if there were any OS updates… and the iPad promptly crashed. Wouldn’t even boot up. And the only option iTunes offered was to reset it back using Factory Restore. I lost all my applications and data, including an entire library of applications that I’ve collected for Hannah.

!@#!@#!@#!@#

And that wasn’t the end of it. The Factory Restore failed the first two times even. And just when I was about to throw the iPad out of the window, the Factory Restore finally worked on the third try, inexplicably.

Apple’s favorite mantra “It just works”?

What crock.
