This is a discussion on iTunes 8.2 BAD for jailbreakers - DO NOT UPDATE! within the iTunes forums, part of the Desktop Software category; I have currently had no problems with my jailbroken 3G phone - I use Disk Aid to edit my files....
I have currently had no problems with my jailbroken 3G phone - I use Disk Aid to edit my files.
I synced my device last night with no issue. However, I did do a restore on my phone so I'm back to stock now. Performance is always better on stock than on a JB phone.
I am using 8.2 iTunes and have no problems at all with any of my jailbroken functions to include SSH over USB using Total Commander. I have noticed no problems or differences with the new version of iTunes at all.
Then I read that others were having problems uninstalling iTunes 8.2 so I uninstalled it and then installed 8.1.1 and other than having to rename my iTunes Library file 8.1.1 installed fine, opens fine, detects my phone fine, even prompts me that there is a newer version and asks if I want to install it.
I don't know what the problems are that everyone is rumored to be having but I am not seeing any of them.

Hey Guys,
I made a big mistake and downloaded iTunes 8.2 - needless to say my jailbroken iPhone no longer synch's with iTunes. I was able to uninstall 8.2 and found a version of 8.1 which I installed successfully. Transferred back all of my music and everything was good. So, I have iTunes 8.1 back on my Mac however I hooked my iPhone up and I am still getting the error message that iTunes cannot read the contents of the iPhone. Is there anything I can do? Other files that were downloaded with 8.2 that I need to delete? Please help.
Thanks!
Aldo
Try resetting your device and your Mac/PC to see if that helps. If not, you might need to do a restore. You can always update to the newest 3.0, (PM me if you want it) but you won't be able to jailbreak just yet.
v3.0 is available for download right now. This is the official release of it directly from Apple. Here's the EIC thread on it.
If you are jailbroken, you'll want to wait a little while (a day or so) until the "official" jailbroken version of it is released.![]()
