TimeOut

We have quite a few PuristS who have iPhones, iPads, and iTouch devices. What do you think of the new iOS 8 update? Did anyone get FUBAR'd by updating to iOS 8.0.1? -MW...  

I am finding a few nice improvements but nothing earth shattering. JerryW

Good to hear yours updated fine. I did it on one of my iPads and when on 4G LTE it occasionally needs to be reset. Some apps force close too. I haven't updated the iPad Air yet. -MW

I learned a new acronym today! Thanks DRMW! I'm still running iOS 6.1.4 in my iPhone 5. I didn't install 7. And I don't think I have the memory space to install 8.

Update via itunes on your computer if you see that not enough memory message. I have to do it that way on my iPad Air. -MW

the download took forever so I decided to just wait to install on the other devices. Turned out to be a great idea. So far no problem beside occasionally slow wifi connection. Like the new feature that lets me make phone calls on iPad via my iPhone.

If I am on wifi 5 GHz I notice it gets slow. The last two iPads I got are cellular versions and it seems they are more problematic than the regular wifi only ones. -MW

The 8.0.1 update F'd up my 6 Plus so I guess I will wait a bit and let everyone else be the guinea pig! -MW

and I too will wait another week... 8.0 on my iPad3 bricked it..and I had to restore from backup to install again...

I just did the 8.0.2 update and Apps are not updating in the app store. Safari is force closing a lot. IMO their cellular iPads have a lot of problems. :( On my iPad Air I'm holding off on updating from 7. I heard that starting today Bestbuy has the Note ... 

Guess I was lucky.

A lot of my apps were stuck and wouldn't function as it was trying to update. I did resets and even reinstalled and restore backups. Did a reset this afternoon and now it allows the updates to work. I think it's the celluar iPads that always have issues. ...
