Firmware 2.2 - Breaks BBC iPlayer

Hi Nick,

After reading your post, I tried the same on my Touch. Likewise 😟

For others, beware before updating if you require BBC iPlayer

G

In fact it was already the case with some 2.1.1 touch - see the BBC forums. I bought my touch a few ago and could not get the iplayer to work.

Gah! that's a deal breaker for me then. 😟 No 2.2 for this puppy until either the Beeb or Apple sort this one out.

I'm getting the same message 'Sorry, programmes can only be accessed over a wifi connection' after updating to 2.2 (2.1 was fine).

I think I am going to cry...

Same issue, cannot live without Iplayer, Just restoring now until problem sorted out. Not happy, liked the Podcast option in 2.2, but like iplayer more.

Broke mine too. Same error message.
I'm going to have to revert. I've only had my touch for two weeks. Can anyone point me to a reliable guide for conducting this procedure. I'm assuming it's not straightforward.

Snap, also need guide, tried google but no luck, Any help appreciated

No problems with iPlayer before or after updating to 2.2 on my 3G iPhone or my son's 2G iPhone.

However, yesterday I bought my Mrs a new Touch. iPlayer was working fine over the home wifi on the Touch yesterday and this afternoon - updated to 2.2 this evening and I'm now getting the 'Sorry, programmes can only be accessed over a wifi connection' message. Have done all the usual, rebooted, cleared cookies and caches etc with no joy.

As above - no issues over the same wifi on 2.2 with both iPhones though... She doesn't know yet...

The procedure set out at

worked. You have to restore all your content as well, but this appeared to be acceptable to the device's user.

Thanks!

Thanks, will try tomorrow

Don't you just LOVE thoroughly tested software updates from Apple? How many bad versions of iTunes have they shoved onto us in the past couple of years? ANSWER: far, far too many. They take one step forward, and two steps backwards with many of their updates.

Yes, same problem here. Bad one Apple, this one should have been tested...
