New iOS installation

[wb4jfi at knology.net]

Well, both iPhones updated OK.  Judy’s iPad crashed during the iOS5 install/restore, but I was able to fix it.

My iPad2 also crashed during new OS install and restore.  Unfortunately, iTunes could not find the “backup” that I had it make immediately before installing iOS5 update.  To make matters worse, iTunes also declared the last backup on 10/12/11 “bad” (great technical description).  After MANY attempts of syncing – each looked OK, but the iPad2 was dumb as dirt – I eventually gave up and started over, as if the iPad2 was brand new.

Now, all my apps, photos, books, and music are there, after a successful sync.  But, all the app settings, general settings, and Safari bookmarks are gone.  Bye bye.

Stupid Apple.

I should not have watched I guess.

Word to the wise: be VERY CAREFUL when doing major Apple upgrades.  They are almost as bad as trying to find where your favorite Linux app was moved to in the latest distro.

Of course, Microsoft is SO MUCH BETTER.   NOT.

Why did I ever stop using CP/M?

I've noticed that my "old" 8GB iPod touch is no longer supported.  Bill feed indeed.

  While watching the three-plus hour processing of updating iTunes, then iPhone, then iPad, I was reminded of the ancient software proverb/curse:

  A watched update never succeeds...

  It fails at about 99.9% in...

  Because the restore failed....

  Because the “restore” phase had not yet completed....

  Because the backup file was deleted during the “clean-up” phase in different processor thread......

  Because you were using Windows (you low-life scum), and Apples don’t play nice with Windows.......

  Because you were watching...... (that’s what web cams are for!)

  BTW, the same holds true even if you weren’t watching, it’s just more obnoxious if you were.

  BTWBTW, Macs don’t have this problem, but only if you drop a dollar into the bill-feed on the right side of the mouse, under that single button.

  Never open your Apple and let the worm out.  Besides, it’s rotten to the core.  Dump.
