when i click on member center it's not letting me in just the spinning icon, i was in at 11:30 to 11:45 and can't get in since?

just reload and try again I'm getting in fine and plus doesn't the sticky note usually come up when doing changes?
 
I've been in the dev center all afternoon and am in now. No Beta 6. 9to5mac are chumps. :rolleyes:
 
whatsapp is working on beta 5 here

I'm getting an error when I try and send a picture from my camera roll but I can send a picture if I take it from within whatsapp and also if someone sends me a video it'll not play it ???

9to5mac changed their tune to say that this was only a target date.

What we thought was a static file in iOS that correctly predicted the previous Saturday iOS 5 Beta 5 update turns out to be one that Apple can change remotely. Yesterday, it changed from Wednesday August 17th to Thursday, August 18th.

We can only assume that Apple can change this on a whim so the date appears to be a target date, which we know can change.

As of this writing, the target is in a week.

The did change their tune.
They changed it a week ago.
:)
Their original story was that they knew when the next beta would be released.
Then it changed into that that was only a target date but apparently, no one on this board got the message.
More likely it has nothing to do with either release or target dates and it's simply the date that the phone itself checks for updates in the same way that iTunes only checks for updates on a certain schedule.
 
Oh God, that plist string is now debunked: all it means is when the iPhone will automatically check for an update next time.

Yeah, have you ever seen this?

Same plist string that prompts iTunes/iPhone to check for updates once a week.

In this case, the next update check is today, August 18th, 18:40 EST, which has already happened.

Duh!
 
Where was the original file that 9to5mac found in the ipsw? i did some poking around myself but i could not find it... does anyone know? and has anyone checked it to see if apple remotely change the date and time again?

if they did change it, the new date could confirm that it is solely for the iPhone to check for updates if its a week or two away, or if it was changed to tomorrow or something then we know it was simply a delay from apple for some reason...

Its actually 20:41
 
Guys, check out icloudil.com and look at the "next iOS 5 beta" time counter on their website. It still says 1 hour and 19 mins.

Check it here: icloudil.com

Give it a bit to load, it might take a couple seconds.
 
It really doesn't mean anything but who knows? It might happen at that time.

Eh, thats the countdown clock that I'm going with. I've got time to blow so I'll be up when that clock is done counting down and if theres no new beta then whatever, I'll just keep waiting. No biggie.

It's Friday! It should be out either today or tomorrow I think. :)
