Thats no true.

Apple just a few days ago released Mac OS X 10.6.7 and was only 475MB, and the Combo update was only 1.12GB. Mac OS X 10.6.6 brought the Mac App Store and was only 143MB.

I don't know why your updates are 4GB.

He didn't mean the Mac OS; he meant an app he bought from the App Store that was 4GB.

D.
 
iOS update changes media folder location

FYI--I have my Itunes media folder on my time capsule, when I upgraded to iOS 4.3 and now 4.3.1 it changed the media folder to the default itunes folder on my hard drive in my MBP. It happened with each update and caused some syncing problems...
 
no verizon?

Please forgive me - but I'm confused. I have the verizon iPhone. I love it (I tell people - "What's not to love!".)

I think I'm disappointed that 4.3 (and 4.3.1) are not available for my iPhone - but does 4.2.6 contain the enhancements (quicker safari, etc.) that are in 4.3, or when they get around to releasing it for Verizon, I will get better performance.

Thanks!
 
I'm hoping the FaceTime bugs are addressed. On the iPhone 4 and iPad 2, I get the cached image or black screen instead of live camera. A restart fixes it in case you experience it.

I've had this happen since I believe the first set of 4.3 betas. And it's not just FT but anything that uses the camera (even my flashlight app would fail to turn on the light). As you stated, a reboot is the workaround.
 
Ping

My battery life issue was fixed by turning off the failed music social network PING in the restrictions settings. Once I did that, I get at least 48-72 hours standby if not more and hours of usage and the battery barely budges. It should be turned OFF by default, can anyone with 4.3.1 confirm that PING is in the OFF position at startup?
 
This has been a problem ever since the App Store appeared to; on the Mac one is told to re-download a 4GB application for a few piddly updates in much the same way one is forced to re-download the whole operating system. I do wonder what their rational actually is - when they recompile the whole operating system they're unable to create a piecemeal patch (difference between the new version and old version)? That when they update one thing there is an ABI change that requires the whole thing to be re-installed?

Maybe they haven't written the "Optimizing" app that links all the little pieces of the OS together. Maybe it is too much trouble for such a small device.
 
After 10 years of "Feels Snappier" How snappy can Safari get? How long before Safari actually snaps in half when you move it?

I'm pretty sure he was referring to apps purchased in the Mac AppStore, not the OS itself.
 
This update will probably be great for the people that "upgraded" to the previous update. I didn't load the last debacle, so I'm going to sit on the fence and wait for the reviews before installing this one.
 
I think with patching, there's a chance that something can go wrong and cause the phone not to work. its the same rationale behind Sony making you download the whole OS in an update for PS3.
 
Yes, for the correct address write to:

Battery Life
666 Apple Drive
Cupertino CA 90210

BTW: 4.3.1 turned my 3GS white

Odd that it isn't also at 1 infinite loop. Hmmm, maybe this is their 'area 51' of sorts. I feel a conspiracy coming on.
 
Verify iPhone

When I just upgraded through iTunes on Mac, after downloading for a second it flashed "Verifying iPhone with Apple".

Has that been there before? Did I miss it in the past?
 
I'd say that Verizon maybe blocking the update because they want to make sure that all hell doesn't break loose once it is released. It would be interesting to see what the justification is, maybe 5.0 will be the 'big change' for iOS on AT&T and Verizon phones?
It'd be ironic if it's really Verizon that's iOS blocking. Or it's simply not worth Apple's effort to support only a miniscule number of customers with a minor upgrade.

yes, what's up with 666 MB... :(
It's just a set of repeating numbers. :rolleyes: Personally, I think it's awesome; if it was deliberate, it's a great indicator of their humor.
