@jonkeefe My Outpost failed to sync after trying for 4 hours. Ever since, it quits on open. Can't sync. Can't use.
Even on a spanking new iPhone with a clean, from-scratch system, I can't get #Outpost to work.
Been waiting an hour to see a "Genius" to authorize the replacement of my obviously busted, under-warranty iPhone. #lovehate #Apple
A young man resembling D'Artagnan just swashbucked up to his girlfriend at the Apple Store Genius Bar and scratched her back hello.
Doctor appointment was successful. Now waiting an hour to see an Apple Store Genius to replace my second defective iPhone.

The 2 hours, 30 minutes I spent trying fruitlessly to fix my bum iPhone kept my mind off my real problems. Enjoyed the break. Break's over.
Took 2 hrs, 30 min to wipe iPhone content and settings + restore them manually. This work did not fix Wi-Fi. Got a bum phone. Must replace.
@punkassjim If the hour of manual scrape and restore doesn't fix, taking it to the store will be the next and final step.
@jason_stanbery Right. That doesn't work. None of the things that are supposed to work work. So next steps are scrape all data and settings.
@nevenmrgan What often fixes ailing iPhones is "Erase All Content and Settings," then refusing to Restore From Backup. Then restore by hand.
Currently it doesn't even recognize that Wi-Fi networks are present. After an hour of fiddling, it will see the networks but not connect.
@bikehugger He scoffs at ramps who isn't in a wheelchair yet.
I have bigger problems -- we all do -- but malfunctioning internet plus non-syncing calendar and contacts hold a special place in my heart.
Gandhi and Steve Jobs, assisted by a team of scientists, accurately typing passwords into this iPhone, would be equally unable to connect.
@simonashley I've been able to join *one* out of four networks tried since iPhone lost ability to grok Wi-Fi and passwords last night.
In other news, MobileMe misbehaving again. I must use these frustrating products to distract me from larger frustrations I can't solve.
"Reset all Settings" also does not fix. Will have to "Erase All Content and Settings" to restore basic functionality to iPhone. Hate that.
iPhone no longer able to join Wi-Fi networks though password is typed correctly. Rebooting does not fix, nor does resetting Network prefs.
