Title: Reverting iOS apps
Post by: Fulvio on October 14, 2013, 01:02:08 AM
*Groan*

So I just found out there is no confirmation dialogue when you accidentally hit "Update All" in the App Store. No Password request, nothing. It just goes ahead and updates everything, and you can't stop the process.

This is a very bad thing. Not least because I for one really, really, REALLY hate the new flat look of iOS 7. They took the worst of Winblowz Hate and made it their own. Grrrrrrr.

But, turns out all is not necessarily lost.

shows there IS a way to wind back the clock and undo the damage.

Now to spend the next month or so putting everything back the way it was... *cry*

I actually love IOS7 its really good once you get used to it the good part is that the camera now has cool effects as well as the simple and easy way of turning on wifi and connecting to a network by dragging down from the top of the device it makes t so much easier and saves so much time, IDK weather its just me feeling lazy but it saves so so so much more time!

Meh. We've had third-party camera apps forever that between them packed a whole lot of awesomeness in. As for WiFi... who the heck ever turns that off??? Everywhere I go the iPod knows the network, and its all seamless anyway.

I dunno, maybe its an old-timers thing, but I just want things that work. You can keep all the whizbang bells and whistles the kids seem to love, which chew up masses of resources. Just the other day I gave a mate a G3 iMac, and when we fired it up found it had OS9 on it. At first he was disappointed, since his daughter has a MacBook Pro with OSX 10.8. But pretty quickly he realised just how much less crap the older system has. Crap he doesn't need for the basic needs he wants it for.

OK, who are you, and where did you bury the real Coop's body? ;)

Technology is incredibly enabling. We can do so much more with it than we could possibly do without. Sadly though, it also has a downside, and its the young who are most susceptible. You need only look as far as your typical teenager's Facebook posts to see where that leads... ;)

Heh, my mate's daughters were all driving Bobcats by the time they turned 8. Then when he built the new property, quads were standard issue, plus the odd stint in the biiiig tractor...

OH&S.. phooey! ;)

Indeed. Remember they built the Great Ocean Road with picks and shovels.

Saw a good TV program about the GOR and it is the only LIVE memorial in the world built by returned soldiers in remembrance of fallen comrades.

Absolutely. Everything about this road, its construction, those who built it, and why, is special, and should never be forgotten.

Yeah, don't get me started on that. One thing y'gotta hand the yanks... they really do domestic history well. They may know squat about the rest of the world, but they've got the whole patriotism thing down pat.

We could take lessons...

don't worry, their just waiting for the official paper work to make us #53 :( I think we've taken far too much and that's the reason we are where we are..we don't treat people well any more and the list goes on, very sad indeed but what can we little people do..to be honest Fulvio I think we were more patriotic when I was a kid and what we were tought about Australia but that's all gone due to american influences
