A warning from MacWorld to hold off upgrading to iCloud Drive for now: http://www.macworld.com/article/268...er-on-upgrading-to-icloud-drive-just-yet.html
It is a good piece of advice. One I wish I listened to. I no longer can upload Keynote presentations to iCloud from my mac, nor use presentations via iCloud.com. Stupid, stupid, stupid me. But I'll learn, someday.
IPhone Dish Anywhere app won't open after the iOS 8 update.
I had a half dozen updates this morning aimed at iOS 8. I expect many more in the days to come.
I'm away from the iMac I sync to so I won't upgrade until this weekend.
Edit: just checked and another five including DISH Anywhere.
Here's a strange one. This has been happening on my iPhone the whole time I have been running IOS8 betas and GM, but wanted to wait before I mentioned anything until after the iPad update. I have a Foscam ip camera. When motion detecting is set to on it will send an email with 6 pictures to what ever emails you have set it up to send to. If there is enough motion it may send out multiple emails until the motion goes away. Here's the issue. Before iOS 8 when I opened the email all 6 pictures would download and display in the email. With iOS 8, the first opened email will download and display the first picture only. The other five are icons that say tap to display. Tap on them and they download and display the pics. Open the next email and all 6 pictures display, like what used to happen before iOS 8. If there is a third email it will behave like the first, and so on. So basically, only every other email will download all 6 pics. Clear as mud right?
How you liken them arrows in your back?It is a good piece of advice. One I wish I listened to. I no longer can upload Keynote presentations to iCloud from my mac, nor use presentations via iCloud.com. Stupid, stupid, stupid me. But I'll learn, someday.
I have decided to hold off until I can fully understand the implications of my iPhone being on iOS 8 and my Mac Pro running iLife '11 on Mountain Lion 10.7.5. Since there are new Macs rumored to be announced (waiting on Intel to get their next wave of Broadwell chips released) I may be investing in a new desktop depending on the news.
Otherwise, I'll let this hold off for a another day. My son went ahead and pulled the trigger on installing iOS 8 on his iPhone 4s. I mentioned he may not like it, but kids, right?

Installed it onto my 5s last night. The recents that pop up when you double click the home button are annoying, but otherwise I haven't found anything I don't like...yet...
I had not checked my developer account for the gold master, and tried to do the OTA install last night. Even with 7GB free, it wouldn't work. So I did it via my mac, and it worked like a charm. Haven't noticed differences, beyond a few icons, from the last beta. Need to install it on my iPad next and finally start to test out hand-off. Anxious for Yosemite for the full experience.
I updated last night. And now Im not getting any notifications from tapatalk.

A nice review of all the new features. Nice that iMessage now does video and sound.

I had my first experience with handoff earlier today. My iPhone 5 was upstairs charging in my bedroom and I was downstairs playing a game. I happened to have my iPad 4 sitting next to me when a buddy called asking if he could stop by. To my surprise the iPad started ringing like a phone and I was able to answer the call on speakerphone.
I gotta say, it was really cool. It was the perfect scenario for this feature. I never would have been able to hear the ringer and I would have missed the call without it. I'm not sure how often something like this will actually happen in every day situations but it worked perfectly. Now I'm kind of wondering what else works with the new continuity features.

I don't think that's part of Hand Off. That's Continuity. I have an iPad 2 and have been using that feature. I also found out it's basically FaceTime Audio. I let a call go unanswered and it showed up as a missed FT Audio call on the FT app on my iPad.
