I installed iOS 9 an I'm no longer able to update my apps. As the screenshot shows "update all" is greyed out and the links for the individual apps read "open" instead of update. Problem persists after restart. Any ideas?

Update All was greyed out for me earlier, but a bit of scrolling around and it popped back to blue. I'm gonna guess servers are just being utterly hammered right now that's all.

They came out on 9/19 last year. If you got it on release day HURRY THE gently caress UP and get to an Apple store in the next 3 days and you're good to go brother.

It's doing the same thing for me and has been stuck that way since I updated 5 hours ago.

Well, fixed that. I read about some people having the same problem going from 7 to 8 and fixed it by going into settings and flicking all of the download options back and forth. Didn't change anyhting but apparently fiddling with them blew out whatever clog was in the system.

I live in the Seattle area and just use a regular Apple leather case, it's been fine.

Crystal has a dumb name because there's a million apps that come up. I found it by searching for 'crystal content'.

Pretty sure Find My iPhone/Friends apps became standard as of iOS 8.

I just searched for "crystal ad blocker" for the same reason, and it was the first result.

A few words on Purify. It does what it says it does on the tin, but I'm noticing that if I go to Safari --> YouTube and load up a video of that video has an ad I get a black screen where it says Advertisement in the corner and nothing happens for what SUSPICIOUSLY seems like the duration of whatever ad would have played.

Then the video plays.

Anyone else?

It's designed this way because, with the 6s and 6s Plus, you'll be able to 3D touch the side of the screen and swipe to the app "underneath" your current one.

I can't tell if that's a serious response or not.

Anyways I just wish I could pick what side it moves to. I usually hold my phone with my left hand and it's slightly more annoying to reach across the phone.

Probably is. You don't need to close apps on your phone.

Yeah, I know the focus is more of an "app switcher," which is why it defaults more to the last app you used and thus you'd want to quickly switch to, rather than the one you were just in. But it does seem weird that they kind of changed the direction of things, pretty used to older stuff being on the right. I guess it will just take some getting used to.

My biggest iOS 9 gripe is still the music app. Okay, cool, you added in a "Shuffle All" button, but now I have a persistent banner reminding me that it's showing me only music on my iPhone. Okay? Cool? Can I dismiss it? Could it even just stay at the top of the screen and go away when I scroll? gently caress You?

I don't know how important this really is, but generally earlier stuff is to the left in iOS. You swipe from the left side to go back a page in Safari. The new "Back to X app" links in apps point to the left. The new app switcher is more consistent with that.

I mean it's still pretty easy to force close apps with the new switcher for the 1% or less of the time an app gets hosed to the point of needing to be killed.

I'm looking for opinions on using the iPhone upgrade program - it looks like you pay about $100 over the cost of the phone (or $300 over the cost of upgraded phone) over the life of the contract, to finance it and to be able to upgrade after one year.

It's not clear to me what happens to the next year of payments if you upgrade after one year (I assume you pay it off or roll it into the new contract).

Should I do this or should I just use my upgrade on Verizon?

Looking at a 6S/6S+ in 128GB.

How much resource they take up.

Completeness of black/white lists.

Actual not workingness? (Purify hangs at YouTube videos with ads.)

If you upgrade after 1 year you turn in the phone and start a new 24 month install plan. If you ride out the full 2 years you keep the phone.

Maybe? I don't really watch YouTube on safari but I didn't see any ads in a handful of videos I just tried to play. Or maybe the weird videos I watch aren't monetized.

Edit: it looks like it blocks ads, but won't bypass ads. Meaning if there's supposed to be a 15 second ad before a YouTube video then is blocks it but the the video will stay blank and not play until 15 seconds have passed. It looks like this:



Then the video starts.

The arms race between the ad-blockers and the advertisers will begin!

What it will ultimately come down to is the blocker dev having an up-to-date block list and the advertisers trying to circumvent that.

What will happen, who will know. This is, for reals, going to change the web as far as advertising goes.

Yeah, the reviews are going to be fun. I do think its going to come down to the "advertising is okay on the sites I LIKE" VS "I hate all web advertising" (guilty) when it comes to blocker creators. Going to be interesting how it shakes out.

On day-1? Purify wins in my books.
