Just installed RC1...so far...so good. One question, however. My Cisco VPN won't work.....tells me that "Internet Connection Sharing must be uninstalled in Windows XP". How??? Please. :crazy:

Maybe it doesn't work because this is a beta

I've tried it 3 times on GetRight, twice using Firebird, and twice using FlashGet... thats why!

So... IE was my last hope in getting this download to work.

Actually I'm on the phone to my ISP now, they're having similar problems downloading it, so it might be a problem with my ISP. The download started at 2MB per sec, and is slowly dropping down below 300kb/sec on their connection.

They're gonna ring me back shortly to tell me how the download went.

Use Newsgroups. I posted the file there 2 days ago. its maybe still be there. Take 5mins of your life and learn NNTP. You'll have the file within a half hour. :p

Thanks, ill take a look at the News groups.

My isp downloaded it just fine, so I dunno whats going on. They basicly said there was nothing they could do, and got rid of me.

All i really need is a mirror to get the last 10MB from (Ive managed to get one of my downloads up to 96%). I have that arranged, so ill see what happens.

i always have a problem installing this when it gets to plylst9.wp_ (plylst9.wpl). it gives me an error saying it couldnt copy the file. so two things:

1) is it possible my download was corrupt and could be creating problems when trying to copy the files?

2) does anyone else have a problem with this, and does anyone have a solution to it?

[edit]

i forgot, also after uninstalling (since i cant install fully in the first place... i cant use the welcome screen for logins. anyone know what could cause this also? thanks

lol, i was hoping to play with all the new features :D instead i get this :( .... o well, betas will do that :pinch:

    • Apple reluctantly forces strict new age checks on Texas users starting today

      By zikalify · Posted

      Apple reluctantly forces strict new age checks on Texas users starting today by Paul Hill Apple will begin enforcing the Texas Age Assurance Law (SB 2420) following a recent court ruling that lifted an injunction on SB 2420. Starting June 4 (today), Apple will enforce strict age-verification and parental-consent rules for new Apple accounts created in Texas. This move will affect children under 18 who go to download apps or attempt to make in-app purchases. Apple previously expressed privacy concerns related to this law, but compliance is now mandatory for the company, nevertheless. Apple will use several APIs to follow the law. Principally, the Declared Age Range API will fetch the specific user age bracket (Under 13, 13-15, 16-17, or 18+) and a verification method. The Significant Change API (PermissionKit) will trigger a system dialog for parental consent if an app gets a major update or an age-rating shift. There is also a new property type in StoreKit that allows developers to automatically check when their app’s age rating has changed on a user’s device and then use the Significant Change API to request parental consent. Finally, App Store Server Notifications can be configured to tell developers when a parent revokes consent, blocking app launches. To ensure they are ready for these changes, developers must immediately use Apple’s sandbox testing environment to validate these APIs in their apps. For any developers out there finding this to be inconvenient, get used to it. Other regions, such as Utah, Louisiana, and Brazil, are looking at, or have implemented, similar rules.
