iOS 4.2 Beta 2 for iPad is up

[knlawledge]

Connect iPad, click on device and hold the shift key while clicking restore and it will allow you to browse to the beta you downloaded. Assuming you already downloaded the beta .

Thanks a lot for your help. That worked.

Yeah, you are right. I've found by powering down the iPad and then powering it back up the issue is corrected - temporarily. Before I was uninstalling Netflix and reinstalling and it still wasn't fixing the issue.

I didn't notice this issue in Beta 1 so I'm hoping Beta 3 fixes this issue.

Very temporary. I watch 2-3 episodes and no problems. It's when I closed the app and came back to it, the issues returned.

Non drm videos

I can't seem to play non drm videos or tv shows. I converted them into mpeg from my DVD. Could play in beta 1 but ot in beta2. Anyone else having the same issue.

Has anyone else lost bookmark syncing via MobileMe? Any changes to bookmarks I make on my iPhone/iMac sync fine to each other, but not to the iPad. Settings crashes on iPad every time I go in to take a look.

I was hoping for retina apps to be able to work at their full resolution which is almost full screen on iPad rather than being stuck at normal iphone res then double scaled which looks nasty... I hope 4.2 final sorts this

I'm praying for beta 3 tomorrow.

I have the same problem...

OK, if I try to open a PDF from an email attachment with iBooks, the iPad opens what seems to be TWO instances of iBooks and then crashes to home screen leaving one instance open in task bar, but no PDF. Only way to view it is within the email client and quick look. Anyone replicate this?

I have encountered the same issue... I'm also having trouble with some Pages documents. I'm guessing there will be updated to Apple's apps when 4.x is released officially.

Has anyone determined if the option click update works with beta 3?

I did this with iPhone 4 and iPad 3G

 

[pruppert]

And it worked, no problem?

aye

 

[pruppert]

Thanks for the reply. I just ran it (according to OP), and it worked like a charm again.

Is there no similar thread for the beta 3 released today?

There was one but it seems to have gotten deleted and I'm afraid to start one up.

I have no sound in most aps and games using beta 2, is this the same for everyone else?

Arent some of these beta testers wonderful and must be a huge assett to the apple testing process

Since the betas have been coming every 14 days we should expect one this Wednesday OCT 27th for beta 4. I can forsee the final build coming 2 weeks after, doubt there's a beta 5

I'm on beta 3 and the WSJ app hasn't been working for me lately. Anyone else notice the same problem?

At first, it appears ok but then it stops loading pages and hangs. When you switch to a section, it just shows an empty page, outside of the template.

 

[mKTank]

So where's Beta 4?

So where's Beta 4?

Hopefully any minute now.

 

[Saberon]

99% chance beta 4 will come Oct 27th

99% chance beta 4 will come Oct 27th

Uhh why? Every other beta has come out on a Tuesday in 2 week intervals. Today is 2 weeks since beta 3.

 

[Rouser]

Beta 1 came out on a Wednesday (9/15) so a release tomorrow is certainly possible for Beta 4.

 

[vastoholic]

So I'm confused. Do I need to have a paid developers account to download the beta officially? I don't see it anywhere after I log in and a quick search for "iOS 4.2" resulting in a link that said "You do not have permission to view this page" or something to that effect.
