Crash

downloaded GM update via dev site, started to update, phone crashed and now it's crashes iTunes every time i plug it in! Now what? Does it on any computer too?!

Crap - I don't have Mavericks installed anymore - so now what do I do to get my phone back...

Install Mavericks on a USB drive. And load it from there.
I have never done it. But it should work. 8GB usb/ flash drive required.

If you're on Yosemite this seems to be a common problem. I was able to install it using Mavericks.

 

[NMBob]

I know right.
Sitting in front of the tv refreshing the H out of the "live" stream to apple watch it again later. Another two hours...

I think everything of theirs is getting slammed today. I had trouble just downloading the free song of the week!

 

[ghostface147]

for iOS 6 and iOS 7 non-devs were able to update to the GM version without apple checking for dev accounts when validating the install.... Users would have to find the iOS file somewhere online though but it was do-able.

This is correct. UDIDs are not checked for GM.

 

[clukas]

Does it require registering UUID?

Since I am a registered developer I have my UDID registered on all devices.

This is correct. UDIDs are not checked for GM.

Interesting changes

Different icons
More Location Services
Siri has more language support
iCloud Photo's is "Beta"

The clock, music and passbook app's are identical to the leak images (longer clock hands, colors and gradients)

For those asking iOS 6 and 7 GMs didn't require registered UDIDs... So i guess this is the same.

 

[n8cousins]

Would someone be kind enough to post the new wallpapers, please and thank you?

Developer GM iOS 8 for iPhone 5 went really really quick.
Re-watching the keynote now, while updating. But stream is not as smooth as hoped.

Can't wait to see the hands on.

*ps. I totally forgot about the free song of the week. I need to look at that more often.

Having the same issue with iTunes crashing while trying to install the GM under Yosemite. My phone is now bricked until this is fixed. Don't have a Mavericks install close by. GG Apple. :/

 

[jonnysods]

That's what I'm talking about! I'll go get it now!

 

[centauratlas]

So has anyone actually been able to download ota?

No. I think M.R. was wrong about the OTA portion.

 

[magiic]

I swear I see this question every year... GM is the final version aka the same version that is going to come out on the 17th so yes you can install it with out being a dev.

I've had several people on other sites tell me the exact opposite. This is why I ask.

 

[Eminemdrdre00]

Do you need a special version of iTunes to restore from the GM build?

 

[iBlazed]

I wonder if OTA will happen or not. Macrumors might be wrong here.

You will need to delete iTunes 12, and reinstall iTunes 11, this is a known bug. Search, you will have to download an app that will allow you to delete iTunes, since it is required by the OS. Then download iTunes 11, and try again. There are a few articles floating around on how to do all that.

The version that comes on the phone might have a differnt build number but its the same. That is what confuses people.

Download iTunes 11, and move your iTunes library to somewhere besides the default folder. Then use App Zapper to Zap iTunes 12, then install itunes 11. Proceed with update to GM and once it has updated, go to mac app store to update itunes to v12 and then move your iTunes library back.

 

[Young Turk]

Just to warn everyone before you install - I'm having major issues with iTunes right now while trying to do the update !! iTunes keeps crashing..

Same here, quits unexpectedly in Yosemite.

 

[larrylaffer]

Any chance to b*tch and moan. You people cease to amaze.

*never* cease to amaze.

Brilliant. Doing this now. Thanks.

Yeah.... They are just trolling you because your asking noob questions

I disagree. I think the watch is exactly what Steve would have done, and in fact, I bet Steve helped with its design prior to his passing. This has been in the works since they cancelled the iPod Nano that everyone was already turning into a watch.

Intuitive interface, NFC payment, multiple health monitors etc. If you own a fitbit (or UP, Withings, etc etc) and an iPhone, you'll most likely be getting this to replace it for the added functionality. All of that paired with WatchKit, and suddenly you'll be able to pay for your Starbucks on the way to the golf course, where your watch will be able to track your game and how far you hit your shots based on what club you're using, and then get directions back to your BMW. Think about who this device is FOR and you'll realize it's exactly what it should be...

You are wrong. Where's the revolutionary design? They just took the iPod nano and went with it. It looks exactly like every other watch.
