I could not agree more. People that just sit back are not helping us at
all. Perhaps if we all updated and showed our interest in getting things
fixed it would all happen a lot quicker and the likes of Appple may
concentrate a little more on the voice over side of some great software.

ALthough I generally prefer to live on the bleeding edge when it comes to OS

Users of critical apps before upgrading. For example, the
Hello. I'd like to thank those of you on the list who gave advice
regarding upgrading. While I agree the more the better regarding
reporting bugs, I'm not a fan of aggravation trying to downgrade
because you can't stand the new bugs you got with the upgrade.
Speaking of bugs, did iOS8.0.2
Speaking of security, I seem to recall, in IOS 7, in the major release from
6x to 7, that there was a security breakage.
Here is an example where it is more secure to stay with the older version.
These developers are in too much of a rush to upgrade their OS.
I think Apple wanted to get this out

Hi Glenn,
Thanks for your suggestions.
We had closed all apps before starting.
We had started the upgrade directly from the phone with it on power.

This is especially interesting, as I was just on the phone for THREE hours with
Apple Accessibility, and the person I spoke to said that he had no problems
with handwriting when running VO and IOS 8.0.2.
The reason for the 3 hour call will be described in another post.

Well, if the iDevice you're updating goes west, or developes a few quriks,
reset it and reflash it.
And if worst comes to worst, wack it in DFU mode and restore it. It'll force
a redownload of the operating system and firmware.

From: mac-access-boun...@mac-access.net
This might be a case for putting the phone in DFU mode. To do this, hold
down the home and power buttons symoltaniusly for around 20 seconds and let
up off of the power button first and the home button around 5 seconds after.
Then, use iTunes either on your mac or PC to reflash your phone.
If one considers the possibility of being on the line with Apple Accessibility
for 3 hours a pro, then go for it. I, personally, spent last Saturday, and
this Saturday, dealing with resetting and restoring my iPhone multiple times,
due to glitches that Accessibility tech support did not know
You make a good poing. Misery loves company, and maybe if enough people call
the accessibility line, when VO stops talking, Apple will fix the bugs that
cause those problems. But, one should make an informed choice by knowing the
risks.

I'll conseed the point that IOS8 was released a little too early, as was, in my

Pretty much everyone will in time.
Historically, there are bugs in software, and if less people were to upgrade
right away, the software people would spend more time making sure that there
are no bugs.

Problem with that is exactly that. Anyone can sign up to be a beta tester.
They want the latest and greatest toys and don't want to report the bugs so
we can have a smooth transition.
