When Apple releases a new OS (such as Lion), is it fully stable or it has bugs that will be fixed further?

Nothing is fully stable when released.
What I wouldn't recommend is upgrading it if your not prepared to deal with bugs and/or changes.  (And you only need to read the forums and complaints for posts about people who are not trying to resolve bugs, but rather a soapbox for changes that they do not like)
In a professional world, upgrades are tested before we release them to labs or desks - which means we apply an upgrade to our images, see what works, what doesn't and put together a list of things to fix/resolve/upgrade before we push it out.
I have done this where I work, and have a prelim result, but I wouldn't push it out without a *.1 update installed at the least - more so for critical systems, and in terms of images - we would build a clean image for such a major upgrade after the .1

  • Music, Photos, Videos... I can't sync anything for iPhone 4. When will Apple release the new version of iTunes?

    I tried every methods up online trying to sync the music, photo, and videos. Nothing is working right now ever since I updated my ios to 7.
    This is happening to most of people who owns iPhone 4, 4S, and 5. Does anyone know when will Apple release the new version of iTunes which will fix the sync problem?
    What's the point of having a smartphone when you can't sync anything?

  • When apple release iPhone 4s unlocked us

    when apple release iPhone 4s unlocked us? is there specific date?

    I was able to order 2 64gb unlocked iPhone 4s, 1 black and 1 white from the website yesterday (11-11-11). I received a confirmation email as well time stamped 10:16am. So, it appears that they are released officially. My order says ships in 1-2 weeks. And the delivery date says Nov. 28 - Dec. 5. If you follow through on Apple's website to actually buy the phone, then select your color, then your size, then look at the bottomand you will see it says "ships 1-2 weeks", but just click on the size you want (again) and it will show a summary up at the top on the right side. Once you see the summary, you will see the green "continue" button. This continue button was not appearing until yesterday. Once you click continue and fill out the normal ordering info, you can place your order!!! Hope this helps!!

  • Do IMac Get OS upgrade free when they release the new one?

    Do IMac Get OS upgrade free when they release the new one in the summer 2012?  or is it like Windows Where you have to pay for it ?

    hello,
    In the Mac world, major updates like 10.x (10.6 / 10.7 / 10.8) are not free. Minor upgrades like 10.6.x (10.6.4 / 10.7.3) are free.
    So OS X 10.8 will be released this summer trough the Mac App Store and will be a paid upgrade.
    Hope this will help.

  • My iPhone is skipping back to the start of a song every time I unlock it, especially when I am replying to a text message, this is very frustrating and just want to know if it is a simple bug that will be dealt with in the next update?

    My iPhone is skipping back to the start of a song every time I unlock it, especially when I am replying to a text message, this is very frustrating and just want to know if it is a simple bug that will be dealt with in the next update?

    Assuming the phone isn't jailbroken, the basic steps (as needed) are:
    Restart phone (you already did this)
    Reset phone
    Restore phone in iTunes using a backup
    Restore in iTunes as new, without using a backup
    See appendix B of the User Guide for details
    http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/iPhone_iOS4_User_Guide.pdf
    If your phone is jailbroken, this is the most frequent cause of the problems you described.  Restoring could permanently brick the phone.
    Note that your iOS is old and the current version is 4.2.8.  It's odd that it wasn't updated when your activated your phone in iTunes, being that you got it last Friday.

  • Is there a way to adjust the settings on launchpad so that when I swipe into it all the open apps/pages are fully separated (like in exposé) so that I can fully view all of them simultaneously?

    Hi Apple community,
    This is my first go at this so be kind,
    My question concerns launchpad. Coming from Snow Leopard I had been using spaces. I like to keep certain bundles of programs on separate desktops, for example all word processing related tasks in one place. I have set up the equivalent on Yosemite.
    My problem is concerns the loss of exposé. Now I know when you swipe into launch pad you get a very similar effect but the issue I am having concerns the "zoom out" effect when you swipe into launchpad. With exposé all open apps/pages etc would be fully exposed - in my case several (sometimes as many as 9 word documents). What I am running into is when I do this in / into launch pad the "pile" of docs is exposed but they are still overlapping so I can't get a good look at which is which and visually identify where I want to navigate to.
    My question is this; Is there a way to adjust the settings on launchpad so that when I swipe into it all the open apps/pages are fully separated (like in exposé) so that I can fully view all of them simultaneously? If so, instructions on how to do so would be greatly appreciated. Any alternative suggestions to doing this outside of launchpad are also welcome. If there is an exposé app for example, I would be quite willing to go that route.
    My main concern is being able to quickly (ie a touchpad gesture) expand all the open pages so I can bounce between them.
    Much thanks from a loyal Apple friend.

    Hey Eric,
    Thanks for taking the time. Unfortunately no that does not solve it. Same as swipe it will get me there and it will show separate programs spaced out. The issue I am having is that all my open word files are bunched up in a pile on top of each other. I can see the edges of each one but I want them to be separated from each other enough that I can visually identify what file is what.
    Again, thanks for trying, it is appreciated.

  • HT4759 I just got a new IPAD and transferred everything through the cloud from my old IPAD2. The new one says "this IPAD is currently being restored. It has been that way for about 2 hours. Also, I books will open and then close right away with no content

    I just got a new IPAD and transferred everything through the cloud from my old IPAD 2. The new one says "this IPAD is currently being restored. It has been that way for over two hours. Also, I Books opens and then closes right away with no content. Does it take this long, or is there an issue?

    I also tried manually underlining a few things on the new iPad and when highlighting a paragraph, it would skip a few lines and the line would go through a few as well. Looks like a major iBooks glitch needs to be addressed here.

  • (When) Will Apple release a newer OS version for free than 7.5.3?

    Being a fan of Apple's machines and not only the new ones, it is kind of hard to get an OS for these oldtimers. Apple would not lose a cent, if they released, let's say 8.6, because they stopped selling it many years ago. So why not putting it on their server and support the oldtimer friends? I'd appreciate it a lot, if they put some classic OSes like 8.6 or 9 on their server, now that the announcement of the death of classic Mac OS is already years ago.

    Hi, olivers -
    As a general policy, Apple never reveals what they are going to do before they do it. So, when Apple might release more older OS's as free downloads is unknown to the public, which includes the vast majority of those who post in these forums.
    You can still obtain the older OS's at sites like this one -

  • How often does Apple release a new MacBook Pro?

    I am planning on buying a MacBook Pro (unsure of the specific model right now) and I am wondering when Apple will release a new model so I can either buy the latest or buy an older one for a cheaper price. It's like getting a new phone- you buy an iPhone 5 with a 2-yr contract then the iPhone 5s and 5c come out. When I get an estimate as to when a new Macbook Pro will come out, I'll determine if I'll wait or not. This is a big decision, so I need the most accurate answer. Thanks for any help

    Sorry, no one here can provide an answer.

    Wait for news from Apple.
    Best.

  • ITunes 11: how many bugs do we need to find before Apple releases a new version or patch?

    Just upgraded today. What a nightmare!
    Anytime I update something in one of my lists, as soon as it is done, itunes goes back to the top of the list. Let's say I'm in a list view sorted by artist. I was correcting a song from ZZ Top, then once done, itunes shows my updated list starting by the first artist (AA). Ot does the same for every update in the list.
    When it comes to playing the song, it goes random (even though I have unchecked shuffle many times, just to be sure).
    And the list goes on...
    Are there any testers left in Apple?

    nice...didnt think abt this....i will go back aswell, itunes 11 is sooo bad.....
    unbelievable that apple released this version. just alone the itunes11 itunes store
    link is so buggy, all tv episodes are having wrong dates, are not always loaded automatically,
    get marked as watched, even though they havent been watched etc etc
    shocking......

  • When i create a new project, my application cannot find textLayout_1.0.595, is this a bug??

    hey guys, so this is the second time this has happened, im not sure what i did the first time to fix the error but when i create a new project and create a textinput box in there, i get the following error,
    "SecurityError: Error #2148: SWF file file:///Users/tkanagala/web projects/flex 4/podcast/bin-debug/podcast.swf cannot access local resource file:///Users/tkanagala/web%20projects/flex%204/podcast/bin-debug/textLayout_1.0.0.595.sw f. Only local-with-filesystem and trusted local SWF files may access local resources."
    any ideas why??

    I get the same error.  This isn't something you should have to update a policy file for - it seems like a flash builder error in the way it generates the library swf.  The steps I took were:
    - create a new application
    - type some basic demo app code or paste in code.  In my situation I pasted in some charting examples from the docs (appended to the end)
    - click "run"
    - the error appears:
    SecurityError: Error #2148: SWF file file://localhost/Users/rj.owen/Documents/ProjectFiles/TIAA-CREF/code/tiaa-eii/production/ ChartingTests/bin-debug/ChartingTests.swf cannot access local resource file://localhost/Users/rj.owen/Documents/ProjectFiles/TIAA-CREF/code/tiaa-eii/production/ ChartingTests/bin-debug/textLayout_1.0.0.595.swf. Only local-with-filesystem and trusted local SWF files may access local resources.

    I'll go post on JIRA as well.

  • When I connect my new iPhone 4s to the computer and iTunes is running, I am advised that a new update is available, but when I download it, I am informed that my phone can not be updated because it has an incompatible hardware

    When I connect my new iPhone 4s to the computer, iTunes informs me that there is an update avaialble and I procceed to download only to be told that my phone has incompatible hardware so cannot be updated. Any advice please

    Hi, I just re-downloaded the update, but instead of telling it to download and install, I just clicked on download only. This is a 813 mb file and I am on limited broadband usage. I did it this way thinking that I would get a chance to see the exact wording when it tried to install, however, I have no idea how to try and install the file now and when I came to click on the iphone symbol on itunes, the download diassapeared, where to I have no idea. I can't afford to download it again, and besides it takes approximately three hours to download it in any case, so all I can remember is that the error message stated that it couldn't update because the phones hardware was not compatible.
