Would this also answer why since I upgraded iTunes last night, my
system network can no longer remember my password for signing on to my
own wireless - and can't hold the password when the computer goes to
sleep or shuts down? OS 10.5.9
So no emails, right, nor internet access despite a nice clear signal
from under the sofa, like always. Now reduced to memorizing a long
erratic string of numbers and letters and inputting them everytime my
laptop snoozes, dang.
Incidentally, I have never mentioned how much I appreciate that
youall launch right into tech/political talk as soon as anything is
going on. You are my secret weapon against the listless ignorance of
the overwhelmed. Thanks.

That didn't take too long to fail. Click on "Update," and it tells
me I have to update iTunes. OK, fine, go do that. Computer reboots.
Take 2. Click on update, it downloads the nearly 700MB iTunes
update, and makes a backup.
And then crashes, opening an Apple KB article that tells me I have
to update iTunes in order to install the update. Er... I already did
that?
I'll just uninstall iTunes and ... oh, wait, you can't do that on
Mac OS X. You have to follow some magic instructions that involve
deleting kernel extensions and rebooting three times. I'll have to
look that up and ... oh, hey, Apple's support site now 503s.
Awesome.
Oh, hey, it hard-crashed my phone. I'll just pop out the battery to
reboot it, and ... oh, crap. That's right, the Apple official way to
restart a crashed iDevice is to let the battery drain. I'd link to
the article, but their support site is down.
This comment was cute as well:
Thank you for updating your Apple products. Please rate your upgrade
experience:
1. Insanely Great!
2. Magical
3. Innovative
4. Religious Ecstasy

Interesting, the past few days Blackberrys have had a bad time with
many of their services out. Still after several days they don't
have it all working. Today Apple launched its ICloud service ( I
say today because it took hours to get the stuff downloaded). It
failed in a very nasty way in that mail sometime vanished,
sometimes appeared then vanished and often there was a user and/or
password incorrect message plus dome rather obcyre additional error
messages.
It was frustrating to me in that I kept looking for what I had dome
wrong. Finally in confusion I pinged IP and found out I was not
alone.
What of the non technical user -- the house=person, the grandmother
who believed Apple would get ut right.
Wjem wo;; they learn to stress test their products. Why don't they
admit what happened?
