I wrote them a bug report about poking the button in the iCloud settings that says "Sign Out" and having the next dialog box being titled "Delete Account". They got back to me and said that was the way they've always done it, so they weren't going to change it. Nice.
Did ANYONE bother to beta test this?
I'm actually looking at a Windows out-of-contract phone as soon as I pay off the extortion fees for my 5S with Verizon.Geez I'm glad I switched to Google software, Apple seriously is producing complete crap these days.
Tomorrow, dozen of "clever" pictures about it on Samsung, LG, Nokia, ... twitters.
Do you know of anyone who jumped off a building rather than deliver bad news to Steve Jobs?Right you are. If Steve was sitting behind the desk, I am sure people would be jumping off the building, not wanting to be the one to go in and tell him!
All your docs are still in TimeMachine. Take a deep breath. You did make backups right?
I just checked my iCloud Drive and I have backups of all the iCloud documents for multiple dates and yes I'm running Yosemite PB3. Here are all your iCloud document backups...
/Volumes/{Your Time Machine Volume Name}/Backups.backupd/{Your Computer Name}/{Backup-Date-Time}/Machintosh\ HD/Users/{your username}/Library/Mobile\ Documents
just copy them to your desktop.
Then copy them again back to iCloud Drive through Finder.
iOS releases under Jobs were much more iterational -- a few new APIs, some skeuomorphic doodads, that's about it. But under Cook, technical advancement has vastly increased in pace not only with iOS, but also ancillary systems it touches (iCloud, Apple Pay, Touch ID).
Doing while keeping to a yearly release schedule is IMO causing these software quality issues. The software engineers simply don't have enough time to work all the bugs out. I think Apple should move to a two-year iOS schedule, because I don't know what else can solve it but time. Throwing more engineers at a problem only helps to a certain point.
And the 80% of Apple's iOS user base who don't use Macs? Who were told their documents were safely backed up to the cloud, so they didn't need to worry about Apple's ****** excuses for a lack of an iOS file system?
I agree with you. Everyone takes Apple more seriously. That's why no one is laughing.If this stuff was happening to Microsoft, everyone would be laughing their ass off and talking about how bad their company is.

iCloud is just this great big mystery, nobody has any idea what goes on behind the scenes. While apple is supposed to just work, microsoft lets you see how it works and lets you mess around with the settings.
The important thing is that his iThing went faster after the reset.
Apple - this is unacceptable by any standard.
I wanted to transition from Google drive, but it can wait.
What's going on with Apple lately?
