amezriThings are not really going right this week...
First I was sick, then yesterday I messed up my back somehow. It still hurts, but hurts less.
I just got a call from my gynecologist's office saying that my insurance probably wouldn't approve the Generess Fe because it's the first birth control I have tried. OMG, these pills are already low dose and everything else is higher I don't want to try another one! Frak.
Next, I tried to update my iPod Touch to iOS 6. (MAYBE DON'T DO IT.) It looked like it was going as well as these things normally do, but then when the update "finished", my iPod Touch started in Recovery mode and there really isn't a way out of that, so I had to plug it in to iTunes and restore it. Which I did. And it failed with an error. This seems to be happening to quite a few people across different devices.
And pretty much the only thing you can do it to keep trying a restore until it takes and hope the device isn't bricked.
Thank frak this isn't my phone or something and that I don't super-care about what is on here. It'll just be annoying to have to get my things back on it, but I have a backup on iCloud - we'll see how well that works if I can get the iPod back up and running.
This in no way makes me want an Apple iPhone.
Edit: So, I have uninstalled/reinstalled iTunes. Used two different cables in all the ports on my machine. Tried restoring from a downloaded ipsw file. Used iReb to get the thing in PWND DFU mode (which got me a 1604 error instead of the 1603 error I was getting before). I fraking give up. Going to have to take this thing to the Apple store and see if they can fix it. And I am going to effing kill someone if they tell me they want money to fix something their software update bricked.
