Oh please you act like this makes PS4 feel like ps 4.5, the hype came from not having an update in a long time.

It doesnt even have the pause/resume feature hyped a year ago, which really isnt all that because it needs Rest mode who wants to wast Kws on that?.

It beats anything MS has done in the last few months.

You should hold your finger on the power button for a good 15 seconds to force power it down. Unplugging is bad.

I tried that before posting originally. The power button didn't seem to respond. Perhaps my finger wasn't in the "right place" for all 15-20 seconds I held it. Hence my dislike of the non-button button...uh things. But that is definitely good advice and always worth trying before unplugging. Same advice goes for WiiU if it happens to freeze.
 
I like the Check For Update option that Vita and PS3 have had for a while now.
Hate launching a game to get the update prompt.

Thankfully, upon a hard reboot and another database build, everything's working good again. The Playstation Live app is 1000 times better now that you can go through the list of all games, filter by language, favorite users, check out archived footage, etc. So much fucking better. And I never knew how much I'd missed having music on my system.

Ok, Sony. Good update.

Yeah, it's so much better.

Sigh. Unplugging it allowed me to turn the system back on. Of course it had to check storage integrity and such. Doesn't appear to be any damage but the system saw fit to yell at me for shutting it down improperly. Yeah because I totally wanted to be forced to unplug it...
Click to expand...
Yeah that annoys the fuck out of me too. No Sony, I did not power down incorrectly, your shit just crashed.

Anyway, once it goes through and rebuilds the database again, all should be well. I seem to go through this madness every other update.
 
YOUTUBE is not up on the US PSN store yet. Neither are THEMES. Wait until PSN updates later and they'll be available to download (probably). They're available everywhere else.

Updated the system this morning. Played some Shadow Warrior and then put it in Rest Mode to charge my controller. Now it will not turn on. Pressing Ps button turns the controller on. Power button seemingly does nothing while eject elicits a beep. Any way to get this to power on?
Click to expand...

Had the exact problem you just described. Power button did nothing and Eject button only resulted in a beep. Unplug the PS4 and turn it back on, it'll be fine after that.

So, where the hell is youtube and how am I supposed to play music from an USB device? I've tried many times and many formats, still nothing.

Are you in the US? Youtube isn't available for download in the US yet. Also, how is your USB drive formated? Make sure it's FAT32 (or probably exFAT, too). Not sure if NTFS will work.

Do you have to troll in every god damned PS4 thread?

PsihoPerihelion said:
Oh, I see. What is this structure? "Device/Music/" I assume?
Click to expand...
Just create a folder named "Music" then put all your stuff in there.
 
Out of the 3 themes I think I like the papercraft one the best. I like the look of it and the music is nice. The music for the spiral one doesn't suit the theme though.
 
I posted this a few pages back; maybe I should make a PSA thread sharing the things us guinea pigs have learned?

So after reading about the 'rest mode' glitch (before i updated), here is what I did, and I have avoided any issue, for whatever it's worth. What I was reading seemed like it could get bugged when going directly into rest mode after the update is applied, maybe something slightly corrupted, and then users pull the plug and it needs a scary dB rebuild. To avoid it, I:

- applied update
- turned off PS4 completely (Power Off, stayed plugged in)
- turned on PS4
- went to Rest mode

And it seems fine. I recommend doing a full power off after you update, just once.

Hm. Tried a USB that was already Fat32 then tried NTFS, PS4 says file system no go on both. I'll try formatting to Fat32. Maybe it needs to be a fresh somehow? I dunno.
 
I still cant link my YouTube account. It lets me sign in but when it's transitioning back to the ps ui it gives me an error connecting to server.
 
Aces&Eights said:
EDIT: Still need an answer guys for those that had issues with update, was your ps4 in standby mode when you first turned it on to do the update or was it off?
Click to expand...

Standby mode. That's usually the way I keep it. Almost never turn int all the way "off", unless we are going to be away for awhile (like overnight or longer).
 
Did anybody's remote play through PS Vita stop working today?

Had to update my vita, but still could not connect afterwards.

Perhaps my PS4 updated while I'm away from home?

Can they download them from other region stores?, you know many have all region accounts

I am on my PS4 typing this, how the hell is that trollin, when it is all facts?. Dont add your own emotion to texts you see.

at least do it properly and get the naming right... it is not pause/resume but standby. It looks pretty silly when you are "on PS4 typing this" and then you type pause/resume instead of standby.
 
This update fucked up system standby, it goes into standby but the orange light keeps blinking, I can't wake the system up with the controller or power button I have to pull the power plug and plug it back in to get the console to turn back on.

Your PS4 likely downloaded the updated and it's waiting to install. You won't be able to log into it until it finishes.

Touch wood mine seems to be ok but quite a few people seem to be mentioning this problem, hopefully this isn't a widespread issue.

That comes with every update ever in the history of tech. It improves things. It added some most requested things and fixed a lot of other annoyances. It's a bit more organized and customizable. You took the hype the wrong way expecting it was going to be the firmware updates to end all firmware updates conversation (from the way you suddenly projected your own assumption on the other poster) but it was always an update to improve things and make things easier.

Pause resume is a valid complaint I can't argue with.

I put my PS4 in rest mode and now the orange light is just flashing and I can't turn my console back on. Any Help ?

First, try holding down the power button for about 10 seconds. See if that works. If not, unplug it for about 10 to 15 seconds. That should do it.

"Rest Mode" seems sorta wonky. A bunch of us are having issues with it post update.
 
Excellent! Updated without a hitch - no issues what so ever except signing in to Youtube app. Could be an issue on Youtube end, who knows. Not particularly bothered as I know it will be sorted out real soon and the Youtube app itself is really good.
After making us wait so long I am glad Sony delivered with this update. For me there are very few things that I still need to make the ps4 my primary media device - an honor that the ps3 holds right now.

Are you actually trolling a PS4 system software update thread? Get a new hobby.

I am talking about the pause-resume for games, remember that? Like pausing a Vita game leave and start again from the same spot.
