Tried downloading the update but it does not complete.
-
Good news.
-
That's a big update.
-
My screen kept going dark and took me several minutes to get it back on.

What does this have to do with iOS? I though this site was all about iOS devices and not Mac stuff. Rene, are you going to update us when Windows 7 SP2 comes out? It has as much to do with iOS as a mac does, it runs iTunes....
-
Um, yeah. And we always have. We cover any big point upgrades for Windows and Mac, because that's what a lot of us are using with our iOS devices. Always have, always will.
But we never let facts get in the way of old fashioned comment complainers :p -
is all you do look for articles that you feel don't belong on this site?
-
Well, I updated mine at 10 this morning and nothing but gray screen 7 hours later.........Apple support has been stumped too.......ugh, not good. They did tell me there has been a "few" reports of machines not taking the update well.

I tried to use the same code and compile it and run it locally in Adobe Air 2.6. I got the stream error: "Error #2044: Unhandled IOErrorEvent:. text=Error #2032: Stream Error". Anybody can point a direction to how solve it? I thought that Air is less on security checking

Much awaited relief it works great thank you but now I have a dead ibook icon that wont go away but Im not complaining I will get rid of it eventually, now unlock 4.11.8 for my iphone 4 and that would make it complete thanks again!!!!!!!!!!
