When we say restore what we mean is you perform a backup of your phone (takes about 2-3 minutes in iTunes depending on the data on your phone) then you do a restore which completely wipes the phone. Then after it applies your backup and starts loading in your apps, photos, music, books and other data just like you had it before. You won't lose any data at all it just takes a bit longer than doing an update does.

On my 3GS it took about 5 minutes to install the OS another 40 seconds to put my backup back on the phone and then it took about an hour to put my songs, books, apps and other personal data on it. Your milage may vary depending on the amount of data you have.

Anyone try enabling iCloud that isn't a developer?

I tried with my MobileMe account (which is not the account i use with the apple store....), but it said I had to migrate my MobileMe account to an iCloud account on the web site. I went to the me.com website, but I couldn't find anything on migrating the account.

I tried my apple store account, and it threw up a bunch of language about how I'm suppose to be a developer and have read and agreed to the iOS developer blah blah blah. That scared me, so I backed off....

Wish I could just merge my MobileMe with my apple store email and stop using the @me.com email somehow.

This is the SAME version that will go live next week right? I want to put this on my phone. I am not a Dev though.

EDIT: Will I have to do anything special to do this? And will this mess with iCloud?

This is a GM and will not be the final next week. If you put this on plan on restoring again next week.

I'll wait for a JB to come out before installing

So I bit the bullet and enabled iCloud on my Apple store account. It seemed to work OK, but wanted to merge the information pulled from my MobileMe account that I initially setup on the device.

After a few moments I received a "Your iCloud storage is almost full" asking me to purchase more iCloud storage after using a small portion of the 5GBs for backup. Mail App on OS X identified the email message as Junk Mail, rightfully so.

      The problem isn't with Epic, it's with the platform holders like Steam and Nintendo, they should be a lot more strict in their review process.

    • Microsoft updates Visual Studio Code with easier language model discovery and in-app search

      By zikalify · Posted

      Microsoft updates Visual Studio Code with easier language model discovery and in-app search by Paul Hill Microsoft has released Visual Studio Code 1.125, its latest weekly release. This week, the company has focused on discovering and installing extra language models via the Marketplace; searching the web and securely browsing over remote connections without leaving VS Code; choosing how long VS Code waits before installing extension updates; and delivering managed Copilot settings through existing device management tooling. In older versions of VS Code, extensions could contribute their own model providers, but to find these extensions, you needed the right tags to search for in the Extension view. Now, the Language Models editor gives you an Install Model Providers button that opens the Extensions view, which is filtered to extensions that contribute model providers, making it easier to find and install them. Once you install a provider, its model will appear in the model picker. If you use the integrated browser much, you can now look up information without leaving VS Code by typing a query into the integrated browser’s address bar. It will use your configured search engine, the same way a standalone browser does. You can use workbench.browser.searchEngine to pick a search engine. When the browser is opened in a remote workspace, it's now possible to proxy HTTP(S) traffic via the remote connection. This allows you to connect to any ports or services that can only be accessed from the remote machine. If you read our coverage from two weeks ago about VS Code 1.123, you might have seen that extension updates have a two-hour delay as a safety measure. In this update, Microsoft is giving you the ability to configure the time of the delay. You can find it under extensions.autoUpdateDelay. Finally, with this update, admins can deliver managed GitHub Copilot settings through native device management (MDM) channels on Windows and macOS, in addition to account-based enterprise settings files. Settings delivered via MDM appear as policy-enforced in VS Code and can’t be overridden locally. Future updates will extend the supported policy keys across Copilot surfaces. You can download the update from the Visual Studio Code website now.
    • Microsoft will finally let you sign in to Edge with a Google account

      "it opens up new doors for people who prefer using Edge, but cannot be bothered to configure a Microsoft account" You already have a Microsoft account if you are using Windows 11, because you can't set it up without one.
