TS4000 Why are cross-device reminder updates so much slower in iOS 7?

It used to be that Reminders entered on an iPad at home would show up on my iPhone almost right away; I could be in the grocery store and get dynamic updates to the shopping list.  Now ... I'm lucky if a reminder from one device shows up on another without restarting the device.  Sometimes it happens, so I know my settings aren't messed up, but it's slow and unreliable.
Hey, Apple --- that stinks.  It was way better before.

Good evening.I'm very sure indeed that Telstra doesn't need me to defend them BUT ..... I did that exact work every day for several years, and I'll answer your question. The various networks have different philosophies on testing and releasing software.It also depends on how thoroughly various networks conduct their testing, and their philosophy of allowing  a  certain degree of software bugs or software issues to be released, and patched later. In relation to Telstra, they are the dominant network operator in Australia, and in fact one of the 5 best operators in the world.   The last thing they need is a product not to fulfill their criteria, with the resultant backlash. When testing is thoroughly done, it is almost inevitable that  some issues will be found,  and that requires negotiation with the manufacturers, and then it's up to the manufacturers to fix those issues and re-release the software. Then the testing is re-done and sometimes it is again not approved by the operators.    That simply takes time.     Different networks have different philosphies as to what is acceptable to release. Also, the same generic software can display issues that often requires customisation to a degree for different networks.I hope this explains the situation to you. It is extremely complex as phones have now become a multitude of devices all in one.

  • I've just started using the App Tabs. I think this feature could be handy but why are the sites not updated when I start Firefox. Now I have to manually update the site which is somewhat of a downer. Does any of you know where I'm going wrong?

    To answer the post title FireFox save all downloads automatically in the download folder, which you can find in the Documents folder. If you want to choose where to save your downloads go to tools>options>check always ask me where to save files.
    Secondly, I am assuming you have IE 8 installed as this is the only version that supports this fix that is currently not in beta. Go to control panel>internet options>advanced tab and reset the settings at the bottom. This may or may not fix the problem but it is a good first step.

  • Why are 'saved as' .psd files so much bigger than original raw nef files?

    I was under the impression that original raw files were the biggest possible. I appear to be very wrong. Why are 'saved as' .psd files so much bigger than original raw nef files?
    I'm beginning to think that saving them as psd is a bad idea.
    Yes, though I've heard all the arguments of keepng the original raw files (For ex. Did you throw away the negatives when you were using film) I se eno purpose in keeping them. Once I've made the initial adjustments--cropping, color correction etc. I don't feel a need to ever go back and never do. Most of my work is done in Photoshop and I like it that way--but suddenly finding myself with such huge files doesn't appeal to me at all--and other formats like tif...well never mind for now.

    Good point made c.pfaffenbichler however, my thinking is this--there is time spent on the raw file and then there is much more time spent on (usually a psd) the file once in Photoshop. For me to then go back to the orignal raw file, after having worked on it on PS would mean getting rid of all the work (larger amount of work, time wise and artistic wise) done on PS which seems pointless. Although the psd file does show your layers and stuff it only shows the end results of that layer. It does not show from where to where you pointed your brush, from what point to what point you changed the color or part of an image etc. etc.Anyhow I understand why most people keep their raw files, but this is the main reason why I do not. It would mean hours of work on an image you already worked on (and usually were satisfied with) to perhaps make some minor alteration. Also please note that though I was noce a pro photog, no I do it mostly for fun. Getting the exact red in my Coca Cola can has never been of importance. On the other hand, if there were a way of working on a raw file within Photoshop and keep it (save it as) a raw file equivalent, then I would absolutely do so.

  • Why are TV shows (like Supernatural) so much more expensive to download (SD or HD) than sites like Amazon?

    Why are TV shows (like Supernatural) so much more expensive to download (SD or HD) than sites like Amazon?

    They aren't really that much cheaper on Amazon. For Supernatural season 7, each single episode in HD is $2.99, same as iTunes. If you buy the whole season on Amazon, it's $2.84 per episode. Maybe $2 cheaper to buy on Amazon.
    Remember though, on Amazon, you can't sync the videos onto an iPad/iPod/iPhone or Apple TV. In iTunes you can.
    I prefer to buy on iTunes simply for the convenience, iTunes makes all the differance.

  • Why are Mobile phone software updates so slow Telstra?

    Looking at all this crowd support info, I seem to find quite a bit asking about device updates being so much slower than Optus and Vodafone.
    Telstra, why, why are you so slow in releasing updates. Please stop blaming the manufacturer as it's obviously not them, you're just releasing 4.4.2 for the galaxy note 3 and we're up to lollipop 5.2, seriously, you're supposed to be the leader in the telecommunications industry but always seem to be two steps behind.

  • TS1702 Why are my apps not updating

    Why are my updates not working for my apps.

    Unless you're using iTunes on your computer to update, you should update only one app at a time.  If you have a bunch of apps in "Waiting" state, click all them to get them to "Paused".  Then, one at a time, click one to get it to Downloading, then Installing, and finally Open.  Then repeat on the next app, etc.

  • After 2.0 update - contacts much slower

    original iPhone
    issue: contacts display much more slower than before 2.0 update. Once they display, scrolling isnt absolutely free (where the phone would continuously show the contacts as fast as you could roll the names by)
    This happens via the phone app or the contacts app both much slower than pre 2.0
    Capacity: 7.1 Gb
    Available: 486 Mb
    Version 2.0 (5A347)
    Anybody else see this behavior ?

    I've seen the same with my iPhone also. Hope they come out with a fix soon!

    After that your itunes will pump up alown and youl see your iphone right there.
    Good luck and sry for my bad righting.

  • Why are my devices finding two networks with the same name in my house?

    I have Verizon FIOS (Actiontech router) connected with an ethernet cable to my Airport Express. Everything works beautifully through all three levels of my house...except... there are seemingly two networks in the house...a 192.X network (I think that is the Actiontech router), and a 10.X network (I think that must be the airport express)...
    Here is the problem...
    My devices (MACS, i-PADS, wireless printers) sometimes connect to the 192.X network (usually on channel 11) and sometimes they connect to the 10.X network (usually on channel 1). If the computers & i-PADS are not on the same network as the printers, then I can't print because the computer can't find the printer.
    With the printers, every time the power goes out it's a crapshoot to see which network they reconnect to...and I have not found a way to manually choose a network since both networks have the same name and password (and I think they have to be set up that way in order for the Airport Express to work properly with the Verizon router.
    Any help would be much appreciated.
    Thank you.

    OK, thanks. Did you see the message I posted right after your previous reply? I'm copying it here. Would choosing option two below, "join a wireless network" vs. "create a wireless network" be similar (or the same) as running in bridge mode?  Thanks.
    Tried a different MAC in my house using Lion instead of Mavericks and was able to open a version of Airport Utility. I couldn't find the tabs as in your picture; however, I did find a box that says, "This airport express is set up to create a wireless network." Three options are then listed as follows:
    1- create a wireless network (the one that is checked)
    2- join a wireless network
    3- disable wireless and connect to a computer or network using Ethernet
    If I choose option two above, would that solve the problem?
    Thanks.

  • TS4000 Why are the reminders in the "Shared Reminders" not appearing?

    I have a shared reminder's list with someone and everything seems to be set up properly.  The reminders are in the list and times and alerts are set.  However, when the time comes for the alert to go off nothing happens.  Is there a setting that I am missing?
