iTunes 12.7 and iOS 11.1...

Apple has removed your purchased apps from iTunes 12.7 on your computer, so don't freak out if you don't see them there, but they will show up on your iOS device...

iTunes will have your music, movies TV shows, podcasts and audiobooks, but iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch are available in the new App Store for iOS, read below:

Changes to iTunes

We have a feeling that Apple changed this as a marketing strategy to drive people to the App Store to help promote for downloads and sales...

iTunes will still back up your data and your Apps so don't worry you'll have a full restore in the case of emergency, and we have already confirmed that the apps are backed up and restored...

As predicted Apple immediately came out with a new iOS 11.1 to help address the issues that incurred with 11.0, but there are still problems...

11.1 are locking up devices, most just need a forced restart, but others have had to be fully restored, so, DO YOUR BACKUP BEFORE YOU UPDATE!!!

Having issues with the touch screens with the iPhone 6 series, but 5s seems to be functioning the best out of all the phones...

Still having battery issues, so more than likely 11.2 might be released sooner than later...

They'll need to have these issues fixed before the X comes out, because that's where there money is, and they won't want that to fail...

Have patience with your Apple Support Representatives because it's not their fault these problems exist and more than likely the IT department doesn't have solutions yet, so be polite...

If you have a backup you can restore back to where you were before the update, so don't sweat it, then just wait until the air clears and let the more seasoned users be the guinea pigs for Apple and you...

We recommend saving your money and don't waste it on the 8, it offers nothing compared to the X and when you have an anniversary edition device just around the corner, wait and be an elitist ;-)))

iOS 11 and iPhone 8...

Apple has released it's biggest update in history for iOS and it's called iOS 11 and of course in the mix of all that, they've also released some new Phones the 8 and X (10)...

First of all the iOS update to 11 being the biggest update to date should scare the HELL out of you and like any update we tell you, DON'T DO IT...

Especially an update that boasts how BIG it is should be a RED FLAG for you to stop drop roll and cover...

You don't want to update to iOS 11, there are too many problems with the update, and very personal problems...

Eating up your battery, frozen devices and lost VM'z, that's right, if you have sentimental VM'z you're at risk of losing them...

Apple had a workaround for recovering your VM'z, but come to find out, it's not working and people are what they call, S.O.L. (Shit out of Luck)...

sidenote: For the Millennials, we know that's two OO'z but you don't count conjunctions

The Good news is that you did a backup and you can recover your VM'z from your backup, you did do a backup didn't you...

Backup saves your ass, and your composure, because the first thing people do when a problem happens is they lose their mind and start blaming everyone and everything for a decision they made ALL ON THEIR OWN...

That's right, you decided to update and you decided not to do a backup, so look in the mirror because you're the problem, not the CSR on the other end of the phone and not Apple...

You can rest assured that Apple already updated to iOS 11 on their test phones before they introduced the update to the public, but they always test on best case scenarios, with the cleanest and fastest of networks and internet...

So it works, but not all phones are worthy of an update and not all users are worthy of updating their phone...

We have not updated yet and we are not going to update until the bugs are worked out or until they come out with 11.1 :-D and even then we'll proceed with caution...

What else what else, oh yeah, the iPhone 8's bezels are falling off and Apple isn't giving an explanation as to why...

Our guess they cut corners in production to keep costs down and ended up with bezels that fall off, but that's just a guess based on history...

The nice thing is Apple will replace your bezeless phone with a new phone, so Apple really stepped up there, so kudoz to you Apple...

As for us, we've got our eye on that iPhone X, simply because Apple finally removed that lint/popcorn crumb/burger catching home button, FINALLY APPLE!!!

Should have been done LONG AGO, because it looks so slick, but our name doesn't end in Jones, so we won't be pre-ordering and we won't be the first one to buy the phone when it hits the shelf, because we know how Apple operates and it's best to wait...and that's a fact!

**UPDATE**

Latest Problems with iOS 11 update is causing problems with Windows 10 and iTunes 12.7...

Error 3503 people updating to iOS 11 get stuck in recovery mode then they can't restore...

We're curious if this error is happening with the Surface Products, if we had to guess we'd say...NO...

We guessed that Apple used best case scenarios to practice on their iOS update and probably didn't use an M3N72-D ASUS board that was updated from 7 to Windows 10...

If we had to guess, we'd say it's old hardware getting in the way of new software, what have you found out...

The Most Overused Word of 2017...

DECADE
 
The Media is the worst with this word, it's like they've never heard of it before, and it was picked as their word of the day, and it just stuck...
 
They use it anyway they can...
 
It's been going on for at least a decade...
 
It's been going on for at least a half a decade...
 
It's been at least 2 decades...
 
It's been going on for almost a decade...

It's been multiple decades...
 
...and it just continues from there...

FYI: Decade means 10 years...
 
Well we've just created a new Drinking Game for you...
 
Every time you hear someone say decade, you have to drink, should take you about 10 minutes to be S*@#t faced...
 
Saying Decade doesn't make you sound any smarter, it's equivalent to people saying, DAT-A...
 
They've been collecting the DAT-A for at least a Decade...:-D:-D:-D
