So, again, as I was saying. Safari is limited in how much RAM it can use, even moreso when other applications need the memory.

It's a memory limitation. Try running Snow Leopard and Safari with only 512MB of memory and see how well it treats you.

Oh ok, yes that's correct. It's both issues, really. Apple has done well to allocate RAM usage across the devices, but there was never, EVER enough preinstalled to accommodate 4.0. Not on the iPad certainly and barely enough on the iPhone 4.
 
iPod on iPhone now not working

Downloaded and installed successfully, but now when clicking on iPod, no music is showing up and I can't press any of the buttons, although when looking in system, my iPhone 4 it's showing that songs are loaded... not good
 
I don't know who is gonna run out of breath here, so let me spell it clearly for ya:

SAFARI can't load 2 pages at the same time without reloading; BROWSER XYZ CAN. DOES 4.2 fix this on Safari?

Is it easier for you to understand now?

No, it doesn't

Can anyone tell me if the iPhone 4 and iPad builds are the same as Friday's? I just want to be certain and they're already gone from the Dev Center so I can't check there.

Thanks.
 
It looks like mine updated OK, but when i go in to the iPod section, it looks like all of my music is gone. When it's plugged into iTunes, it shows them all there. Very weird. I doing a restore now to see if that fixes it...

I fixed this by playing the song or movie on the ipad from iTunes, while the device is plugged in. Once you start to play it directly from the device, when you unplug it, it appears as normal.
 
the new text tones don't seem to be included in my update. i'm so confused. I got everything else...airprint, personalized text tones, etc. also, anyone try word find in safari yet?

any help is appreciated!

The new text tones are only available on iPhone 4.

Also, for those wondering, the IPSWs released today are bit-for-bit identical to the 4.2.1 GM seed released last week. No need to download again.
 
I posted this on the other thread, not sure if anybody has tried to setup "Find my iPhone" on an iPhone 3G/3Gs, but I did set it up on my iPad with their "Find My iPad" instructions to create the MobileMe account for "Find my iPhone" service. Once setup on my iPad, I had no problem setting up the same account on my iPhone 3Gs and locating both devices.

EDIT: So to be clear.... it appears that Apple is only requiring that you have 1 current generation device. Unless other folks with the iPhone 3G or iPhone 3Gs can set it up without an iPad.
 
Done for my iPhone 4 and girlfriend's 3G. She shes yes, 4.2.1 update does the 3G snappier than the 4.1 update.

Dude, quit the damn apps in your switcher. It will be able to CACHE 3 - 6 pages.
 
Go into Contacts, edit, and then go down to text tone, it should be under ringtone. I have the option to select a tone for each person, but its the standard 6...ive checked on an iPhone 4...and there are the 17 other tones there...but no love for my and my 3g. Check yours, and let me know

Same issue here and I'm on a 3GS as well..looks like apple stiffed us and only gave them to the iphone 4 users

How is that even relevant?

MobileSafari is not the same as Safari on a small screen (despite what you may believe). It's a separate (and distinct) piece of software.

Whilst you're correct that MobileSafari has access to a limited amount of RAM (as with all iOS apps), it is possible to have more pages remain cached at any one time than MobileSafari does by default. Just look at Atomic browser yourself for proof.
 
Downloaded but...

Where are the new text tones? Does anyone see them? All I see are the original tones that came with it.
 
Apple has made a graphics boo-boo on their website...

And here I got excited about possibly having wallpaper on my iPod touch 2nd gen... Either way, can't wait to get home and update my iPad. :D

Have you taken the other person's advice regarding closing your multi-tasked apps?

And have you given any consideration to the complexity of the pages you are loading?

I can load 2 sites on my 3GS all day long without it reloading. If you can't do that in the context of the aforementioned items, then you have an atypical problem.

You may have some apps that use a lot of memory while in a frozen state.

"Dude", I don't have 4.2 installed, am talking about my current experience with version 3. There is no "switcher" on my iPad...and as said above, I am NOT talking about 1000 pages, just 2 or 3 which open perfectly well on OTHER browsers. :rolleyes:
 
Installer seems to be stuck in a infinite loop for the last 30 minutes...

iPhone 3G. The status bar for the installer goes to complete, it reboots, Apple logo for several minutes, reboot, and then status bar again. It's doing that over and over...
 
Maybe it's because they've announced it (for the first time afair). Download (624,3 MB iPhone 4, iPad later) started fine in the very minute they launched it (7:15 p.m. CET)—"50 minutes left"—but now "2 hours left" and doesn't change much.
 
What the hell, this is so stupid. If you pause the download and restart it, it goes back to ZERO.

I'll just have to wait til I get home where I have a faster connection.

update failed and not all my data has been erased... cant restore cause the sever is down... not functioning ipad... just great.

It's completely relevant.. I'm just demonstrating that pages have the potential to use a lot of memory. The screen size has an impact, yes, but you can still eat up 20MB of memory using a single page.

All I'm saying is that Apple has opted (unlike other browser developers on the phone) to make the Safari application cause less of a dent in memory, so that the rest of the applications on the phone can perform better.
