noirstronaut posted:I don't know what the big deal about Apple offering the 16GB is. 16GB costs the same as it did last year, if you would've gotten the 32, you now get 64 for the same price. This has to be the worst of all first world problems. Probably the part about that being how much it costs last year. And the year before. If they can magically afford to move to 64gb for a $100 more then it's quite obvious they could have afforded to do 32 instead of 16. It's a move done out of greed rather than customer focus. They make enough profit where they shouldn't have to resort to poo poo like this which will inadvertently end up turning away customers who buy the 16gb model, fill it full of poo poo and then not understand why they're having problems. And you could argue that they shouldn't be mad when someone explains to them they needed to get a bigger size and why but they will. People expect when they pay X dollars for something that it works worry free. They will also probably be informed by someone that had they used Android they could have just popped in more space as needed. It's going to end up as an annoying Samsung or Microsoft commercial. They understand how loving dumb people are. Don't make phones that shoot 240fps 1080p video and whatever huge MP option they're at today and never increase the capacity to store it on the phone. The change impacts me positively because I've bought 64GB since the 4S and now it will be cheaper but I'm not goony enough to think most people know better.

What town are you in? I would try today. I've always walked in mid day on launch day after the dust settled and got the phone I wanted.

Supposed to officially go live next month in an update most likely around when Yosemite drops. It's not really a crapshoot anymore. It specifically lists as being disabled in the latest releases.

EATIN SHRIMP posted:Anyone having issues with the top notifications not going away and you can't push them up? They go away if I table tap the home button and it takes me to the wheel thing where you can quick change to recent apps/contacts. It's not constant either and I haven't really noticed a pattern. On an iPhone 6 if it matters Yes but it's an iOS 8 thing. Happened on my 5S now and then. I sort of wish there was a way to purposely activate that. For example, when you get one of those text verification codes.

I actually had my iPhone 5S once alert me that it was too hot and was going to shut down. I can't imagine why they would remove that from the six. Likely it was a defective phone.

The thing is so full she can't take another picture without deleting an old one first. I can't back it up via computer because it says the phone disconnected during the backup process. I can't drag the photos off the phone without it disconnecting either. I did back it up to iCloud. She can't backup to iCloud? Edit: too early in the morning. Backing up to iCloud is all you needed

A tomato posted:Acting like push email isn't a 100% vital out-of-box feature for basically anyone with a real professional job is weird. Mailbox looks really slick and I bet the user experience is great. I'm not giving Dropbox (or any other company) unfettered access to my email account and the contents of my email. Hi I'm a real professional and set my email to poll once an hour because as an actual professional I don't need to instantly respond to some chucklefucks questions. They can wait a whole 1-60 minutes. By professional I wonder if you think that was interchangeable with sysadmin or something.

My Garmin Vivofit supports HealthKit. Makes sense since their app is loving garbage and they've always made software that was garbage. Not that HealthKit is all that great in its first iteration in terms of looking at detailed history but it does set up companies to have to do very little development in the future. Vivofit is $130 and claims to have a year of battery before needing to be recharged. I've gone about six months of that year. I don't wear it to sleep because I find it to be too bulky. I used to sleep with my Jawbone UP all the time but so much so that I forgot to turn it on 80% of most nights after a few weeks. edit: I stopped using UP because even though they "fixed" it from version 1 I still went through 4 of them under warranty and honestly I just didn't feel like sending it back in a 5th time even though it was still within the year. benisntfunny fucked around with this message at 17:34 on Oct 8, 2014 |

I always use bugreport but I can see why someone even as a registered developer wouldn't. The most annoying thing is when your bug is a duplicate and then you never get to see if the duplicate got resolved or not.

xzzy posted: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. They have rewritten the library management piece of iTunes actually. All the iTunes hate makes me chuckle. "iTunes uses 100MB+ of RAM!!!" Oh sorry is this 2001? Have you looked at what Chrome uses? For all its flaws I think iTunes is probably still the best out of the box solution there is.

I've got all my music in one folder (an iTunes folder containing folders for each artist and folders within those folders for each album) that I set as the default directory every time I install iTunes. Aside from adding some new artists/albums every now and then, that doesn't change. You need to do step 3 in my instructions. Step1: Install iTunes Step2: Copy over your music folder and all the iTunes junk in there Step3: Copy over the folders in AppData > Local for Apple Computer and Apple into your new AppData > Local folder.

Flash Gordon Ramsay posted:And Best Buy will price match Amazon, so at worst they are the same price. I've even had them price match third party sellers on Amazon though their policy says they don't. It was $200 off a Surface Pro 3 before there was basically a firesale on the thing. I just told them I was aware of their policy and totally understood if they didn't want to price match an amazon third party but I thought I'd ask them and see before I just bought it off the internet. I'm sure it's different when you're buying a $1500 machine (and the cost) vs. a $50 video game but I'm glad Best Buy is starting to get their poo poo together and compete vs. fade away into nothing like Circuit City. fake edit: I worked at Circuit City in high school and it was the most fun job I've ever had. Sad they tried to be Best Buy (at the time) and went out of business.

Jeherrin posted:This is kind of hitting the root of my problem: one man's modest set of apps is another's panoply of unnecessary stuff. The interesting thing, for me, is that iOS apps seem to be much larger in size than Windows Phone apps. Sure. That's because iPhone apps see far more updates and features than the Windows phone counter part. You're clearly determined to keep that 16gb iPhone. It's a mistake but do what makes you happy. Doesn't matter what the steps are to replace it. If you plan on keeping it for any extended amount of time it will become annoying. Just don't come back here six months into ownership and bitch about how iOS has been deleting your songs or that your phone has 3gb of space allocated to "Other" and if you just had that room everything would be fine.

Jeherrin posted:Basically, I am an old man phone user. It's not, and never been a primary content consumption device. Calls, texting, and browsing make up the bulk of my usage. My reasons for choosing to move to iPhone are more to do with the ecosystem - my line of work almost exclusively uses Apple products, and after four years of Windows Phone I just want to be able to slot into it seamlessly for once. I have changed my mind and determined you should keep it. It's like letting your kid touch the out stove so they never do it again. Not a single person here was like "oh it's manageable" but yet you still think you're some kind of insanely rare use case for phone usage, you're not. Just don't keep coming here to ask us how to micro manage the phone we all told you not to buy. iOS and its apps have a bad habit of treating your storage like an infinite dumping ground. Probably to Apple's benefit so people buy more expensive phones but it is what it is if you want to play in Apple's playground.
