Today, I went to the Apple store to try and figure out what's going on with my iPhone. After an hour of speaking to three different geniuses and waiting around, their solution was to "Google it." FML

Today, my iPhone got back from being fixed. When I opened the box there was a note attached to my phone that said, "All you had to do was turn it on." FML

Today, my new iPhone was stolen from my school locker. After canceling my service, sobbing, having my mom yell at the secretary for their lack of security and finally agreeing to change to a private school, I found it in the corner of my locker. FML

put your iphone into DFU mode, then boot it with 1clickboot.

I am on my iPhone right now. I am going to jailbreak it when I can, when it is available for the 3.0

Having worked for Apple in the past, I have two guesses at how this happened. One, their servers actually crashed (in which case, sorry, but you'll be covered and your phone will be working again soon.) Or two, you tried to unlock your iPhone and put it on a network other than AT&T, even though you signed an agreement not to. In which case, updating your software with Apple at any time will render your iPhone a brick, permanently, and you totally deserve it.

I have an IPhone. Personally, I hate this thing. These things glitch up way to much for me. I'm going for a blackberry next time. My sister has one of those. They are sooo much better!

This is not an FML in any way. YDI for not knowing how to Google DFU mode though.

"YDI for having an iPhone?" Everyone without an iPhone that complain about them are jealous. I just got my iPhone, and it's amazing. But if putting down a great product makes you feel better about your crap phone...

That would make sense if my phone wasn't better than yours. Not to mention the features that the iPhone JUST got that "piece of shit" phones have had for years.

Mine crashed while updating as well, but reboot your iTunes, keep plugging that iPhone back in and it'll start... eventually. Let it sit for a few minutes inbetween each time you plug it in.
