.Neo Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 So in the meantime: Am I the only one who finds it completely outrageous that there's currently no way to merge Apple IDs or transfer purchases from one to the other? What if I decide to leave my ISP and my email address is canceled as a result? Does Apple just give me the finger and says though luck? That's basically an issue I'm facing right now.

There was as article somewhere quoting someone anonymous from Apple saying they're aware of this issue and they're working on a solution to the whole multiple accounts thing - With iCloud it really becomes an issue as you wouldn't want your daughters iPod Touch having some important iPages doc, but you don't want to buy apps multiple times and you can't expect a young kid to have a credit card etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.Neo Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 Well at the time there simply weren't any reasonable replacements. I'm not going to use Hotmail (at the time no way to use it in an email client), Gmail was in beta and .Mac just insanely expensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dknm Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 I've got more stuff down the pipe 949mb Lion Recovery Update iTunes 10.5 Lion 10.7.2 Maybe they fixed the safari full screen close button vanishing and Airport acting strangely for no reason.

Elliott Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 Downloading 10.7.2 and the Lion Recovery Update now. Sounds like I'm one of the lucky ones: it's only taking me about 30 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeoTrunks Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 It took me about 40 minutes to download the recovery update as well as 10.7.2 at around 2pm eastern. Then it took about 20 minutes to download the update to iPhoto. The only issues I had were some delays getting my Reading List to sync using iCloud. Took about an hour before I saw the same list on all devices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PNWDweller Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 Hmm...didn't seem to take too long for my download, but I am on the West coast as well so that might have some effect. I am very glad to see that they fixed that screen zoom issue. It was annoying to have it randomly stop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elliott Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 Hmm...didn't seem to take too long for my download, but I am on the West coast as well so that might have some effect.

.Neo Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 OS X Lion has been updated to 10.7.2 in the App Store as well. (Y) Hold down option while clicking on the "Purchased" tab and select "Install" to re-download the updated OS X Lion Installer. PS Yes, I know it's Dutch. But I'm sure you guys can figure out the "What is new in version 10.7.2" part... :p iUserX 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quillz Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 Might have already been posted, but what's the build number for the GM? I currently have 11C57 but SU isn't showing .2 for me, just an update to the Recovery Tool and the Server Admin Tools. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.Neo Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 11C74 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quillz Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 Hmm, guess I'll have to run the reversioner they posted on ADC. That's probably why I don't have it on SU. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piehouserat Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 My mid 2009 macbook pro still makes quite a bit of noise even after this update. It was silent when I had Leopard / Snow Leopard on it. Anyone else having the same issue? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, or just run the reversioner from the 11C73 build and then run SU. iUserX 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeoXY Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 So I had to download the Lion Recovery update twice. Not once, but twice. And you know what? I still can't ge the damn thing to install. Everytime it finish downloading, I get an error saying it can't connect to the server and quits. Awesome. Just awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But to be honest, this seem like alot of effort in a day. Its citing some kind of server error. Can't I just wait it out for a couple of days and see if it clears up?

Personally, I never use Software Update. Every time it tells me I have updates, I just go to https://support.apple.com/downloads and download it from there. Bonus is that they provide SHA1 hashes so I can verify the download, too.

+virtorio MVC Posted October 13, 2011 MVC Share Posted October 13, 2011 Very happy with 10.7.2 so far. They've got Mission Control to work exactly how I wanted it to work (how it should have been with 10.7.0). What if I decide to leave my ISP and my email address is canceled as a result? Does Apple just give me the finger and says though luck? That's basically an issue I'm facing right now. No, Apple suggests you change the e-mail address associated with your Apple ID: http://support.apple.com/kb/HE40 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phalesafe Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 so like 450 megs to do lion recovery image, 400 for 10.7.2 and another 367 for iphoto to turn photostream on lol dayum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What did Apple change about Mission Control in 10.7.2? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
