I don't think the music production thing is going to work out (I have TBs of music "samples") but I want to see how far I can take it. My iPad Air is mainly for some games, reading books, and comic books, web surfing, and giving music lessons via Skype.
TARGET DESKCONNECT BLUETOOTH
I have solved usenet for non-segmented files, and I will be trying to compose/produce a piece of music exclusively using Garage Band on the iPhone (only using resident sounds and no external gear), after that initial thing I'll see if I can find a bluetooth music keyboard that suits me. The two biggest things I use my 2013 iMac for is music composition and also for usenet. I will pair a bluetooth keyboard to the phone. When I get my iPhone 6+ an experiment is going to begin: I'm going to try to do EVERYTHING on just my iPhone. The iPhone - or the smartphone if you'd rather - is the big thing that is selling and that most of the real R&D is pouring into. I had a rare moment of clarity the other day. Handoff is a strange animal which works best if you have both devices on while doing the handoff - that took a little while to figure out. I do expect some of the more drastically new features to be ironed out over time. I like taking a phone call on any device, sending large attachments with e-mail, etc. We have had minor issues with iOS 8 and Yosemite, but we have the patience and experience to work them out.
TARGET DESKCONNECT MAC
I'm not saying we need to go down the "so many f*cking choices it's ridiculous" road of MS operating systems, but again, given the HUGE installed base of Mac users nowadays, a few more choices and settings of every kind are really in order. It's really just bad design to say, "well everyone will like blue folders." Given the installed base of users, there must be literally a million users out there (at least) who don't particularly want to have powder blue folders or have desktops that the powder blue folders strongly clash with. The WiFi share name bug that appears with every new release of an Apple OS is back with a vengeance.įinally, and most importantly. None of the "new features" are anything I use or need (or even see), but all of the features of Spotlight I actually use are now missing in action. We are talking an increase from a half dozen spans a day to perhaps 100-200 spams a day.

I've been absolutely *flooded* with non-stop spam from the first day I installed. As with almost every release of a new Apple OS, all my mail filters and spam filters are non functional or have been re-set somehow. Here's to hoping that Apple can iron out the problems with iOS 8 and Yosemite in less time than it took them to get us a reasonably stable release of Mavericks. That's brought tremendous innovation to the Mac and to iOS in a relatively short amount of time, but it's also brought a lot of pain for users.
TARGET DESKCONNECT UPGRADE
I also recognize that operating systems are incredibly complex things comprising millions of lines of code.īut Yosemite and iOS 8 are fraught with enough difficulties for enough users that I feel like neither of them are fully baked.Īpple made the decision a few years ago to adopt an annual upgrade cycle for its operating systems.
I expect problems, and I'm not naive enough to think that everything that Apple ships is going to be flawless.
TARGET DESKCONNECT SOFTWARE
But it is annoying, when you're given a bill of sale and an expectation of how your gear should work, and the software isn't able to deliver.Ĭertainly doing a "clean install" can eliminate some of the problems that we're collectively having, but that's a painful and traumatic process on the Mac, at best. I won't go as far as some to declare these releases the worst or the buggiest that Apple has ever released that's ridiculous.

And some of you have e-mailed me to let me know of the difficulties you're seeing posted to discussion threads on our articles and elsewhere. I've read pages and pages of complaints and problems from customers who have installed Yosemite and iOS 8, and have all sorts of problems, ranging from Wi-Fi issues to trouble connecting to Microsoft Exchange servers, problems with Handoff and more.
