Forgive the question, but why did you upgrade before taking the time to find out what the impact would be on the applications that you depend on? Always, ALWAYS check before upgrading.

And for Johnny. He did it for Johnny! Sure. Using iTunes and iBooks, as nature intended. Comply. Resistance is futile. |

A no use telling me to use itunes and ibooks, as that is what began the rot - they stopped talking to each other - so I went to Marvin - then lost him too...now Marvin is back, but not talking to itunes. Please allow a non-computer literate person to do some things backwards..like updating because the darn thing tells me to!

I'm updated now to the latest version of iOS8 on all of my devices and Yosemite on my Mac. I also finally made the decision to turn on iCloud Drive. So far things are working smoothly. I really like Yosemite and the continuity handoff features are great.
My only complaint is that Safari seems less stable on iOS8 than previous versions. It freezes up or crashes more frequently than I can recall in the past. |

Ugh. Some visitor updated my Mom's iPad 2 without asking permission.
Even if it was guaranteed to be a smooth, better performing version, you just don't change ANYTHING involving user experience on an octogenarian's technology without darn good reason! Fortunately, she hasn't complained of any 'real' problems, just confusion over stuff being different. ApK |

If someone did that to my mother, I'd be pissed and want to hurt that person. Nobody updates my mother's electronics without consulting with me first. I make sure she's updated properly. I won't update her Skype on her laptop because the new UI is lousy.

Maybe my mom knows more than she's letting on, and this is part of a plot to get us to buy her a new iPad mini.... |

I should add that while not quite an Octogenarian I am sitting on being a Septuagenarian so I consider myself ok for my age to be able to do what I do with my computer...but no - will never be able to understand programming language. Last edited by chookie2; 01-18-2015 at 10:04 PM. |
