Yep. I guess Apple's own apps sync fine. I don't have many third party apps that use iCloud though so I guess I've never had the chance to really run into the problem.

...hate me...
I think I'll start touching Apple betas with a 10ft pole after this year.
Trying to restore iPad to 7.1.2 (so I can sell it), iTunes on my computer simply won't cope if the iPad is connected in (right now it is asking for iTunes on the display).
I can open iTunes if the iPad is not plugged in. But as soon as I do it, boom. iTunes quits compulsively.
Just sharing.

Don't do it. See my problems on the previous page using Yosemite PB2 on my Late 2009 iMac. 12GB Ram, 2.8GHz i7.
Yes, loaded the page - but only after about 5 mins.

I use MPlayerX for everything.
Just know that they no longer support the App Store version, opting instead for an auto-updating version which you can get from their site.

VLC works for me in PB2.

This doesn't work well on my Retina screen though, all MKV's and the majority of HD content in general is pixelated.
When opening the same file in VLC and this side-by-side the quality on VLC is definitely superior.
It's s shame as I love how 'light' MPlayerX is...

hope they release ios 8 gm soon so that devs start releasting updates. having apps act funny because devs haven't updated to support it yet is always the worst part of running beta...otherwise 8b5 has been running pretty well for me as a daily driver
Same here. Been using the latest version daily in PB2 with no hitches.
Probably tomorrow.
Destiny and official iPhone announcements tomorrowI can hardly wait.
A suggestion would have been nice, though. Haha.
That's weird. It isn't working well for me.

You know, I haven't really revisited my video player choice in several years. Aesthetically, VLC has come a long way and perhaps borderless doesn't mean as much to me as it once did. VLC is undoubtedly a better performer, so I think I'm going to switch over to it.

VLC works fine for me too. Though I still miss Movist. I loved it but eventually had to leave it behind. Thankfully VLC got a bit better by then.
Twitch.tv works just fine for me.

Which extension did it end up being?
The one that converts flash to html5. I forget the name.
Thanks!

And then the LORD David Bowie saith to his Son, Jonny Depp: 'Go, and spread my image amongst the cosmos. For every living thing is in anguish and only the LIGHT shall give them reprieve.'
So what're the odds that 8.0 gets jail broken relatively soon after release? I've gotten so used to some of the Cydia apps that I can't jump ship, but holy crap do I want that added lockscreen and notification functionality.
Not at all likely. The number of holes they can use decrease over time, and if they jailbreak it with an early point release it's highly likely the exploit will be patched for later 8.x revisions.

Oh yeah. I had to disable YouTube Center because it turns out Safari now changes YouTube into HTML5 automatically. Unfortunately you lose other features the extension enabled but at least it's fucking HTML5 without an extension. If only it could also automatically disable auto-play and convert all other videos somehow and disable autoplay there too it'd be fucking amazing. This is why I use Safari now.
Plus it means less extensions to enable. I only have a handful anymore:
1Password because it's indispensable
QuickStyle because I need something to zoom the text on a lot of websites (GAF included) because at 1200p everything is fucking small and Safari doesn't remember your Zoom setting
Occasionally I also have NinjaKit enabled which is a GreaseMonkey extension so I can use YouTube Me! on GAF. I do wish YTM had some options to disable certain features though. The YouTube part and Vimeo parts work great but Safari will not support embedded .webms no matter what. You have to click them. Also, even though SoundCloud works, it usually reports an error anyway. I'll probably just modify it to ignore .webms. I do wish I could get it to embed them properly in Safari. Weird thing is they play in Safari if I click. They use QuickTime plugin. But they won't show when embedded in a page. Maybe the code can be changed a bit to force it? I dunno. I should go hang out in the official YTM! thread and talk to hate radio about it.
Ultimate Statusbar because come on! Every other fucking browser has that disappearing status bar that only appears when you hover. But Safari still fucking uses a "status bar" that a lot of browsers don't even use anymore. Even most Firefox extensions ignore it anymore. No one wants a full status bar. Can Safari extensions even put anything down there? It's like it's just for the URL. So why not just make it like Chrome, Firefox, Opera and even IE now do? Come on, Apple. Even if you put the URL in the addressbar when I hover. As long as it shows up somewhere. I hate not knowing where a URL will take me. This is pretty much the only extension I would really get rid of if I could aside from NinjaKit if I didn't like embedded YouTube so much. (Why hasn't this been built-into GAF by now? At least maybe special tags for YouTube and Vimeo and the others.)
AdBlock for obvious reasons. Obligatory "Disabled on NeoGAF of course" post.
And lastly, BetterTTV because Twich fucking sucks and the dark theme is super useful as are the other features it gives.

All that's needed is the .ipsw file name really, I'm sure it'll be floating all over the web by the end of the day.

so the Passbook icon has the red credit card part even on my iPhone 5.
The iOS 8 update, it's not showing up for me, hm.
Apple magically added Apple Pay to your iPhone 5, haha.

I really feel like installing the iOS 8 GM and latest DP of Yosemite tonight. I really wants that Handoff and Continuity.

Here is the Ars size comparison chart for anyone who wants an idea of how big the new phones are. Print it out to get a good idea of the sizes.

So the Apple Watch video mentions "the fitness app on the iPhone" and it looks like the watch UI... coming in 8.1 maybe?

Oh man answering phone calls through my MacBook is very cool!
Siri is much better too, faster with a clearer voice and the "Hey Siri" prompt works well.

Would someone be willing to hook me up with a dev account invite, or perhaps upload iOS8 for iPhone 5s (Model A1453, A1533).
Thanks!
Thanks!

You don't need a rev account for the GM I'm pretty sure. You just need Google but I don't know what the legality of an unprotected OS that's free anyway would be so I don't want to get more into it. I mean it's free. It's not requiring an account anymore. But then again it's not out yet.

If you're a developer you'll need to download the IPSW from the dev portal. If you're not, you'll need to source it from elsewhere. This isn't an OTA update.
The public release in a week's time will be OTA though.
Oh, simple enough. I thought it would be an OTA update, too. Thanks.
