This is the error I get in iTunes:



It says, "Please try again later." So I'll keep trying! :-)

Just a shout out to say I too updated my iPhone through iTunes as well and also stuck with an "emergency screen slider" I get an error message from iTunes that reads - " We could not complete your iTunes store request. An unknown error occurred (-9838)"

My 9838 error is gone but now I'm back int the Accessing iTunes Store holding pattern.

iTunes must really be swamped. I just tried to purchase a song and it was unable to complete the transaction.

I would not be able to apply the leaked download because I cannot access the summary tab for my iPhone in iTunes. http://www.macworld....7/iphone20.html

Ok. so I went back and forth unplugging the thing till the message didnt pop up and I got back into the Accessing iTunes thing. Then about 3 minutes later it just magically completed itself. Hope you guys have the same luck.

I stopped it and tried again, and it immediately gave me an error a couple of times, which I wasn't getting before... then... the third time I tried it, it said Accessing iTunes Store and then went right through... didn't do anything special except cancel the attempt and tried again.

Im hosed. Leaving for the weekend and my phone is now stuck in the emergency mode while trying to update. Why dont they release the update a week earlier so this sh@@ doesnt happen. . Thanks Apple

Successfully accessed iTunes Store and now have a pretty message saying iPhone activations are unavailable at this time. Please try again later. Guess I have no phone for today. I shoulda known better and waited to do the update.

I finally got the iPhone OS 2.0 update completed through iTunes. keep your iPhone plugged in and click on your music and back on iPhone after a few errors it will finally connect to the store.

@alexhorseman -

cool - yeah, that actually just worked for me as well - got the errors, told me to try again, I tried again and it worked. Good luck everybody! Hope it's resolved quickly for you!

I get the same thing still. Been trying for past 2 hours. Unable to connect to iTunes Store.

:(

Do NOT update to 2.0 at this time. Apple is having a number of server issues. Consequently the update hangs and is causes numerous problems if you attempt to update: Wait messages, Errors, unending sync that never releases, looped access to iTunes and update.
To control the issues, Apple has put a hold on the 2.0 update. To avoid problems and frozen iphones, wait 24-48 hours to attempt an update.
You are not losing much to wait a day or two. If you have a frozen iPhone or error messages, try a reset.

I'm attempting to update to 2.0 now. But the update seems to be hanging. After downloading the software, I received an onscreen message in itunes not to disconnect my iphone. Now I see a screen with the word in "Iphone" in large type in itunes. And there is a a pic of the usb cable connecting to the itunes icon on my iphone. Where the swipe application on the iphone rests, there is a message flashing: "in case of emergency" ....it changes to the same message in various languages.

From reading the previous onscreen messages, my iphone has been restored and I suppose it is attempting to retrieve my iphone settings from itunes.

I'm concerned because the last part of the process has been happening for a half hour. So it looks like on going to try to call Apple Care. Wish me luck.
