iOS 10, Released Today, Is Causing Issues For Some Users (thenextweb.com)
Apple released iOS 10, the latest iteration of its mobile operating system, roughly an hour ago. If you're planning to update your shiny Apple iPhone or iPad, we will strongly suggest iPhone users to not update for two-three days, especially if an iPhone is your primary phone because it is causing issues for some users. The Next Web reports: According to a growing number of iPhone owners on Twitter, the new iOS 10 update might be worth waiting on. After releasing earlier today, users flocked to the new mobile operating system, as they always do, and a number of them are reporting it's putting the phone into recovery mode, forcing them to go back to wipe the memory, re-install 9.3.5 and then try upgrading again.It's unclear at this point what's causing the issue. At any rate, this isn't the first time a major iOS update has been seeded to users without ironing some critical bugs. Two years ago, iOS 8 had a range of issues, one of which blocked cellular capability on the device. Earlier this year, iOS 9.3 point update also caused issues. And who can forget the Error 53 fiasco?
So, a normal Patch Tuesday story on Slashdot. Didn't these used to get the Microsoft icon?

That is the inescapable rule of software today. And given that, you should let other users do the beta-testing for you, and always wait before updating.
Happens all the time, beta testing is a joke these days. You have pretty much Apple loyalists who live in a Apple world. They probably don't use enough outside apps to even know what works and doesn't. Better to wait and see, nothing that great in IOS 10 that waiting a few weeks will hurt.
That being said, I put 10.0.1 on my iPhone 6s Plus this morning. Knock on wood, no issues so far :-)
Now I strongly believe that the solution is never to update your OS, so you won't run into problems. The fine folks at Samsung already figure this out and are explosively excited about it.

After that punishment, why would you try again? Is it a case of Homer? https://youtu.be/3W1OrcMPMb0?t...
Did this release get rid of that obnoxious fucking nag you ever god damn day to upgrade bug?
I DON'T WANT YOUR UPGRADES, STOP NAGGING ME ABOUT IT.
Oh wait ... problem solved, not using iOS anymore. Not by choice mind you, I broke my iPhone 6s Plus ... but after the forced upgrade or be nagged DAILY and removal of the headphone jack ... I could care less.

Lame. Now you'll excuse me as I have to prepare some hot grits for brunch. Natalie Portman is coming over for tea this afternoon.
Can't wait a few days to get their hands on the latest Gospel of 'shiny-shiny'.
Then there are the leeches (lawyers) who have filed suit against apple because their clients can't order the new prayer book (iPhone 7) yet.
apple should just close up shop and let the others take the flack.
[Raises hand] Me?
Judging by the posts to the threads on MacRumors, I count weight failed updates for every successful one. Naturally there's some participation bias there but still. And when it fails users are required to connect the phone/tablet to iTunes to recover. If they're not near their personal computer (at work for example) then they're screwed until they get home.
So it must be true!
So this is what happens when you lose your quality-obsessed dictator.
It should be a cardinal rule of companies releasing new hardware/software consumer/business products that the entire senior executive team of the company eats their own dogfood with the product for a month before public (even beta) release.
Where are we going and why are we in a handbasket?
beta testing iPhone 4 with IOS 7.1.2 and so far all looks good, did I hear some of you have problems ?
We apologise for the fault in the houstonbofh's post. Those responsible for proofreeding have been sacked.
One would think that after decades of OS upgrades that have failed miserably, whether it's Windows, iOS, what have you, people would learn to take a full backup of their machine/phone/whatever before doing a major upgrade. (Or hell, even a "minor" one now, considering the hell Win10 Anniv. Ed. put people through).
I'm going to go ahead and update, but I'm gonna go home and do a full backup of my devices first.
10.0.1 is out already ... stop crying
The latest and greatest from Apple is no longer updates my venerable iPad 2. I wished I could downgrade to an earlier version. Recent versions of iOS had made the iPad 2 slower in execution and the web browser crashes all the time. Not that it matters. I use my iPad 2 as an alarm clock with an app that has an air raid siren to go off at 4:30AM each morning.
I don't understand how anyone can have trouble with Apple updates. They lock down their hardware and software so much that there are probably only three-five different devises this update will propagate to. It is not like Microsoft where their are literally trillions of combinations of hardware that every update must support.
Troll is not a replacement for I disagree.
Our family once had an iPhone where the OS upgrade froze it, requiring a rebaseline, essentially. We lost all the data. Apple recommended we install iTunes to do a full data back-up next time, but iTunes made the Window PC go funky. Apple recommended we buy an iMac instead of a PC.
Table-ized A.I.
'... the statistical likelihood of Trump dying of old age more than Clinton.'
Hmmm; this is a good case for voting for him! (Runs off to check actuarial tables.)
Great minds think alike; fools seldom differ.
It is pretty much best case scenario if Hillary beats Trump and then has to abdicate due to health.
And here I am on IOS 15 and have been for a couple of years. Except for the devices that are stuck on 12.55...
Do not look into laser with remaining eye.
The issue is already fixed.
Maybe that's why he keeps emphasizing how much he'll get done in the first few months of his 1461-day term... Perhaps he's concerned that he won't survive long enough to take things slowly.
You do not have a moral or legal right to do absolutely anything you want.
OTA update finished and I got the dreaded "connect to iTunes" I updated to the latest itunes and plugged in the phone and clicked update. It had to download 10 (no progress bar). /courage. Patience! It updated fine and works now.
If that were even a possibility in her mind she'd have Bill as her VP. She dies/quits and Bill is President again while they argue about term limits and him not being elected to the office more than twice, not serving a full third term, etc. Or they'd finagle a way for Chelsea to take the throne. If you think the rule of law would stop any of her shenanigans you clearly haven't been paying attention.
" statistical likelihood of Trump dying of old age more than Clinton."
Only if Trump is a random anonymous male and Clinton is a random anonymous female.
They aren't. We have some information about both. I think Clinton is ready to run down the curtain and join the choir invisbule sooner rather than than later than Trump.
I love these Huge Stories that begin "stop everything because *some* people are experiencing issues." They never count the million or so who have found success.
"Don't update today" --- well somebody has to go first. Don't Sail to America - it might be dangerous. Don't go to the moon - it might be dangerous. Don't update your phone. Don't run with scissors... (wait - that is dangerous).
Risk Reward.
My pencil and abacus have never been upgraded.

Some releases are pre-beta.

It looks like you have to double click the home button twice to now login to your (non-touch ID) iPad or iPhone. What is the most likely thing to fail on the iPhone from repetitive use? The home button. To the point where the jailbreaking community has tools to enable a software home button from the control center drawer. Did Apple do this to get people to break their old hardware or did they only test the usability of the new design with touch-id enabled devices? It's really annoying. Personally, I wouldn't be surprised if it was both.
Are we talking Apple here or Microsoft?
I'm starting to get a bad feeling about the number 10, and I'm not even thinking of Downing Street.

Why would Bill be ineligible to serve as VP? Because he's a sax addict?
Have you seen Bill recently? He's fading fast. They both seem to be at that point where life collects the bill for a "high stress then party hard" lifestyle. The aren't that old at 70 and 68, but those lifestyle choices that seem consequence-free when you're young really catch up with you at that age.
Socialism: a lie told by totalitarians and believed by fools.
In theory, he wouldn't...he just wouldn't be able to be in the line of succession, and the job would thus then pass to the Speaker of the House. However, there are a lot of unanswered constitutional questions him even serving as VP would raise that make it a terrible idea.
Amongst other things iOS 9 changed the behavior of various Sound API methods which caused numerous apps (particularly games) to lock-up, crash, etc. on a regular basis. e.g.: That one change caused a lot of headaches for Supercell with their Hay Day franchise.
upgraded to iOS 10 + watchOS 3 — works good.
messaging, phone, and all the apps dont have any weird crashes on my iPhone 5s.
also, my own iOS xcode apps install and run on the phone without modification in xcode 8.
the new watch face in watchOS 3 is usable, and the watch responds faster.
solid upgrade.

Kevo sent out an alert this week that iOS 10 breaks their functionality. Now you have to have the app running and in the foreground.
"Due to a current bug within iOS 10, Kevo's Touch-To-Open technology will only work if your Kevo app is open and visible on the phone screen when you touch to lock or unlock the Kevo smart lock. If the Kevo app is not open and visible, the lock will not lock or unlock. "
12th amendment:
But no person constitutionally ineligible to the office of President shall be eligible to that of Vice-President of the United States.
He's not ineligible to be President, though. He can't be elected to and serve a full term, but that's not blanket ineligibility.
I think Apple Inc. have shown tremendous bravery in releasing software that isn't fit for purpose to millions of its customers.

I'd still prefer Johnson/Weld over Kaine/??... though I would agree that Kaine is much better than Clinton or Trump.
All my liberal friends think I'm a conservative, all my conservative friends think I'm a liberal.
Don't worry... Mother Teresa will cure her.
How often does it need to be said? *.0 releases are only for users who are willing to face bugs and broken functionality. I respect those people for wanting to be ahead of the curve, especially if they're vigilant about reporting bugs. But for the rest of us, *.1 is usually a much safer bet.
