Apple Seeds iPhone OS 3.0 Beta 4 and iTunes 8.2 Pre-Release to Developers

I searched through the replies but didn't see any mention of it, so...

Can anyone tell if iTunes 8.2 will fix the horrendous breakage of iPod shuffle 2G syncing?

Not to mention the bitrate is massacred with these online downloads.

For people with home theaters, blu-ray discs are the way to go. Blu-ray won't fail unless a better format comes out (one that is cheaper). I have a theater for a reason so why would I bother watching crippled movies if there are blu-ray versions (full hd) available.

YESS!!!! Thats why I cant buy movies online, they can say HD all they want cuz technically it is but the bitrate makes a HUGE HUGE difference and with blu-ray its 40 mbps! yaya!

btw Im getting so angry that apple wont include a manual close app back into 3.0! when an app freezes I want to close it and not have to wait! im not a very patient person lol

For those missing the call button

What I do it open Notes, type in the phone number, then return. You can then press the number to call.

Sensor

Any one see any hints of the Nike+ Sensor?

Apple made quite significant improvements to DVD Player for Leopard, and I don't see them chucking that away to use iTunes to play DVDs instead.

And gibbz, the work they're doing on Quicktime X won't be lost on iTunes. Don't forget, at the core of iTunes is Quicktime. Why do you think you can't install iTunes without it?

There's no reason that DVD Player would have to be chucked anywhere. DVD Player could just be operated via the iTunes front-end, just as QuickTime is operated via the iTunes front-end.

Have a question.
I am traveling through Europe.
I have a dev. account want to update to beta 4 but not sure if I can do that since at home I am on ATT and out here ( right now on N Telenor(Norway))
any thoughts?
Would hate to lose my phone service out here.
Thanks in advance.

I updated to beta 2 in Amsterdam though, I was still using AT&T unlimited data ($69 a month)

I have no idea what you are referring to, as far as i know, every beta so far has been installed using option+restore, not option+update, I think you might be mistaken.

I did beta 1 as a shift+restore (on a PC) and every beta since as a shift+check for update, including beta 4

i'm glad i didn't have to restore...that would've been a pain...

Bluetooth audio seems to cut out alot now.

It was really good before.. now audio is cutting out constantly, every few seconds to be precise.

hopefully they fix it in beta 5

Restart your phone. Had the same problem myself.

Got beta 4 installed, and now it restored from my backup of beta 3, but now when its doing the sync, it is putting everything (music, apps, etc) under the "Other" category as it fills up the phone. Any idea what's going on with that? Anyone else seeing the same thing?

Does your Visual Voicemail still work??

Alas it does not.. messages already there are fine, but new messages do not show up. Any solutions for this?
-g

Can anyone confirm that you can still downgrade to 2.2.1 from 3.0b4 in the same manner as you could the first 3 betas?

Okay so this is my first version of the beta. Any luck on getting MMS to work? I am having zero

Have you encountered this before?

I've gone through each beta release and haven't seen iTunes perform this action until I restored to beta 4 today. After restoring from backup and syncing everything, I forced another backup afterwards and noticed this message at the top of the iTunes 8.2 pre-release window. Haven't noticed this in previous builds, but I usually hide iTunes when I'm syncing, so just wondering really.

My MMS is working. Working since beta 2. Didn't work for a few days in beta 3, but then started working again. Worked on first try in beta 4. Using AT&T in the US, have a Family Unlimited Messaging plan.

beta 4 is the first one I installed on my phone
-- not working at all
--phone I put the sim card in on the switch wouldn't work on the edge network for some reason at all
--having a friend come over to attempt the sim switch with their phone (hopefully that's all it is -- I'm inpatient I want mms now )

I am in the same boat myself. I reverted to 2.2.1 because up to beta 2, I was unable to connect to my pioneer HU. I would be very interested if you can successfully connect to yours with beta 4.

The pioneer avic n4 has worked fine since beta 3 for me and I will be testing beta 4 here shortly.

So just because Apple is including linking to DVD meta data and BluRay, does that mean that they would possibly be adding support to iTunes to rip DVDs? Would it even be legal for them to do that?

I would ABSOLUTELY LOVE that but I don't think it will happen. I just wanna know if it is even a possibility legally etc.

I have. many times.

Maybe I'll try a restore when I get home and not restore from my backup.

phone calls in ring only once

since updating to beta 4, my incoming phone calls ring once and then disconnect, it did not have this issue with beta 3.

How did you get this to work, what did you modify to expose this? I'm in the same boat, but have never seen this working ever.

That's what I'd like to know, too.
