Anyone know of a decent case like this with a screen protector and built in kickstand for landscape viewing? http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00MO...&pf_rd_i=mobile

Jose Oquendo posted:MLB is rolling them out to all their ballparks. And if anyone should know, it's Jose Oquendo.  I was talking to the head of IT for the Cardinals about this time last year and he said they were installing iBeacons at the ballpark in the 2014 season, but the MLB apps didn't really seem to do anything special when I tried using it at all anytime during the season. I was kind of hoping for an app that would tell me the closest food options near me and where I could get a beer that wasn't Budweiser. Went to a few games at AT&T Park too, which supposedly had iBeacons, and the only thing I got was my phone prompting me to check in on the app.

Is there something weird going on with the App Store in general or is my phone just acting a fool? Yesterday I had 1 update available which I tried to apply, but it said it couldn't update, no matter whether I was on LTE or Wi-Fi. Restarting my phone fixed this, but then today I have 4 updates and I tried to apply them but they got like 99% of the way done and they're just hanging. They've been this way for over an hour. The App Store won't even say "Failed to update" or anything like that. I guess I'll restart my phone again and see it that resolves this issue, but I shouldn't have to do this every time I have an app update available. E: Okay, so I restarted and all the updates showed as active but they weren't doing anything, so I cancelled them all and then hit Update All and they updated fine after that

I do this thing where my friends will send me a photo in a message and I will open it and zoom in on their face, screenshot it, and sent it back to them. It's always super weird and good for a laugh; everyone's face looks creepy totally zoomed in. However, when using this method your phone's time/battery level/etc still show on the top of the screen - super annoying. Even if you did this for a non lulz thing it's still dumb. When I'm viewing a photo the info at the top should go the gently caress away.

I get annoyed because the time doesn't show when browsing safari or the awful app in landscape mode, so I have to flip to portrait to know if break or lunch or whatever is over.

If nothing else too I've found that under some conditions that I haven't been able to exactly understand yet, there's an iOS 8 bug that can cause the status bar to just vanish -- you just see the nav bar as usual, but unadorned up top. I'm pretty sure it's an iOS bug somewhere as I've seen it happen in the App Store, Messages, and in my own company's app. If you leave the app and head back to the home screen the status bar is there, but switch back to the app and it's gone. You have to swipe it away from the task switcher to "kill it" and then reopen it to get your status bar back.

New program called PhoneExpander getting good press. Clears out iPhone temp files, caches, and other crap that may be stuck in "Other". Especially useful if you're stuck on a 16gb iPhone. Free beta for now. http://phoneexpander.com

Yea another bug that plagues safari and the awful app is sometimes when you click a YouTube link from either of those apps, once the video is over, clicking "done" does nothing. You are essentially stuck on the video in full screen mode. I have to manually close the app and reopen to get back to browsing.

Speaking of the Done "button" - nearly every single time I'm watching a video and go to exit that video screen I somehow miss tapping the word Done. I feel like it's the most sensitive aspect of the entire UI. Sometimes I'm a little too high up, something I hit it too softly? (I know this is wrong but it's what it feels like) and I eventually just smoosh my thumb across the entire area. It's annoying.

Sorry if this question is asked a lot, but do all iPhone 6 and 6+ 's support both ATT and Verizon's LTE bands? I remember reading you could swap SIM cards in the 5 's and everything except LTE would work.

My 5S has been randomly freezing and requiring a hard reboot. I did a restore over the weekend and it got stuck halfway through downloading my apps. Most of them are in the faded out state, and tapping on them just makes it say "Waiting." I can manually start the download from the app store, but that overwrites any data that was supposed to come through in the restore. (Lost all my Drop7 scores dating back to 2009  ) On top of that, I've still had random freezes occur.So, two my lines of inquiry: 1) Is there a way to get at crash logs or anything on iOS so I can see if this is a software problem the restore didn't fix, or a hardware problem? 2) Is it possible for me to jump-start all these app downloads? Will that even restore the data that was supposed to already come down? If not, is there any way I can access an older iCloud backup? There's some stuff I'd be bummed to lose. I'm glad everything important was synced with Dropbox or some other web service. Moral of the story: Don't trust iCloud backup if you don't have to.

Does iTunes Match work well these days? I kind of need to have access to my iTunes library away from my main computer and it seems like a problem to use an NAS since the library needs to work on windows and OS X at the same time.

Even if you have the explicit version in your library?Whirlwind Jones posted:Spotify Premium is a better option if your library overlaps enough, but iTunes Match isn't nearly as awful as it used to be. I'm a bit invested in the whole metadata system so as long as it works in a predictable way (keep songs that I want on my phone, sync music and metadata between computers) I'll totally drop the 28 bucks a year.

Yes, even if you have the explicit version in your library, assuming it matches them. If it's not matched, it uploads your version, which will of course be explicit. It was funny when Apple gave me a $30 gift card and just told me to buy the explicit versions on iTunes (since if the explicit version is "purchased" by you, it will then serve up the correct version).

I don't know what your specific metadata needs are, but I tagged all my poo poo with picard, and if I make any edits on my mac, they are reflected onto my other devices. Some of my stuff did get censored though. I need to get around to fixing that.

Some of my stuff did get censored though. I need to get around to fixing that. I manage everything through smart playlists that count last played, played and skip counts, and ratings. Those are the things I really need to work and it sounds like Match works well with smart playlists. For stuff from bandcamp or whatever that might not be tagged correctly I used to use TuneUp, but I haven't had to in awhile and genres and album titles aren't that important anyway since it all goes through playlists.

I'm convinced iTunes is a separate division in Apple where all the incompetent people that couldn't handle the good stuff work. It's mind bogglingly terrible.

Well, I made the switch and so far my precious swear words are still present. The whole thing is pretty slick, actually. Though, yeah, iTunes is the worst on windows and barely acceptable on Mac. I have 13gb of RAM, what could possibly be making you hang, iTunes???

I'm on windows and I have used Match for over a year now. No problems at all with matching to censored songs. Not once. Sometimes it is a piece of poo poo when I try to stream music in the music app but besides that is has been flawless. The best is downloading music from loving YouTube in some god awful quality mp3 and then having iTunes match the file to their high bitrate mp4 or whatever. It's like magic.

I thought it was just me. I just chalked it up to iTunes being iTunes. I will say this 64bit iTunes loads faster, no more "scanning library" for random yet long lengths of time when loading. Baby steps.

Apple deserves some kind of award for shoving 12 versions of iTunes down our throat and never once stopping for a moment and asking themselves if a rewrite is appropriate. I mean it launched in 2001 and they've been bolting junk to it ever since. While I'm sure some chunks have seen significant revision it's still very similar to those first few releases.
