uApps Updates and Information
Apple today has release Mac OS X 10.7.3 beta to everyone and it focusses on iCloud support and thats really it. iCal, Address Book, Mail and finally iCloud document storage so maybe now iOS devices and Mac devices will have the same documents? One can dream right! So developers go and get it!
If you are one of the people who want iOS 5 tomorrow you will need iTunes 10.5 that Apple has given to the public today! iTunes 10.5 allows you to sync wirelessly with any iOS 5 device connected to the same network along with some other goodies but most importantly you NEED it to update to iOS 5. You can open software update on your mac to get iTunes by hitting the Apple in the top left and software update and for everyone else you can go to http://www.apple.com/itunes/download My iOS 5 review will be updated with cards and Find my Friends Tomorrow!
Well here is something that might make mac users really happy. It seems that Apple is planning on releasing iTunes with iCloud and Mac OS X 10.7.2 with iCloud support on Tuesday a day ahead of the iOS 5 with iCloud support launch. This would make sense as developers need the beta of iTunes with iCloud to install iOS 5 on their devices so why wouldn’t Apple make it the same way with a public release of iTunes to install the public release of iOS 5. I was expecting to see Mac 10.7.2 on Wednesday perhaps Apple doesn’t want their server’s to overloaded.
Well here is something that might be unexpected to some but not me. Mac Rumors has found some hidden iChat code showing that iMessage a service that allows iPods, iPhones, and iPads to communicate over the web to the messages app will be coming to the Mac as well in the form of iChat.
@interface IMMessage : NSObject
{
IMHandle *_sender;
IMHandle *_subject;
NSAttributedString *_text;
NSString *_plainBody;
NSDate *_time;
NSDate *_timeDelivered;
NSDate *_timeRead;
The code you see above is the framework in iChat. The code shows the “time delivered” and “time read” which is in the current iMessage. Honestly I think this would be a great idea as you can have all your messages well now everywhere granted it isn’t an SMS and is an iMessage and well everyone I know uses an iPod, iPhone, iPad, or a Mac or all of those so this would be a great idea and I can’t wait to see it become a reality. It may even come with iOS 5 public release which is rumored to be October 10th. iMessage is still in developer preview and has not been released to the public but it does work very well for me.

Well here we go my first Apple News update! Lets get started!
A little bit of an interesting story 9to5mac has confirmed that Apple is testing NAUNCE Speech To Text in iOS 5. It isn’t available for anyone but Apple’s testers but if all goes well then it should make it’s way to us this fall hopefully with the iPhone 5.

The image you see above is what is an alleged iPhone 5 case and an iPhone 4 sitting in it and it does look like if thats an accurate case there are some big differences. Now as you can see it seems to be a lot thinner and I mean a lot thinner. It is also wider probably for what is rumored to be the bigger and better 4 inch screen of the upcoming iPhone and if you look to the left you see the whole for the mute switch but nothing for the buttons. Does this add to the rumor of the buttons all going capacitive? We’ll find out.
Remember the iPhone 5 story we had about someone leaving the iPhone 5 in a bar? Well it seems that the police who went looking for the prototype might not have been actually police but instead have been Apple employee’s or one of them anyways. Now Calderón the man who found the iPhone reports this to SFWeekly:
Calderón said that at about 6 p.m six people – four men and two women – wearing badges of some kind showed up at his door. “They said, ‘ Hey Sergio we’re from the San Francisco Police Department.'” He said they asked him whether he had been at the Cava 22 over the weekend (He had) and told them they traced an iPhone to his home using GPS.”
After a search of the man’s property with no successful find the intruders allegedly offered $300 for the return of the device and left a phone number when called leaded to Apple Senior investigator who is a former San Jose police officer. Anthony Colon deleted his linkedin profile which is what you see above… So I don’t know about this one but it is very interesting to read. Check out this link for more information.

What you see above is the FCC number for the upcoming iPhone 5. So it seems the FCC has confirmed it and it should be coming to us soon. The number for the device is BCG-E2430A compared to the GSM iPhone 4’s “BCG-E2380A” FCC ID and CDMA iPhone 4’s “BCG-E2422A” FCC ID. Usually Apple devices don’t get a number until they are announced. This just shows that Apple is getting closer to announcing the iPhone 5.
Apple is continuing to push iOS software and Mac software by them today releasing Mac OS X 10.7.2 and iCloud beta 10 to Mac Developers. So go and get it!
So that is all the news that happened when I was in school it took me a little past 4 to do it but there was a lot to do and I think I did well. All new information will be in a new post.
Well the title says it all really today Apple has seeded Mac OS X 10.7.2, iCloud 9, and iPhoto Beta 3 to Mac Developers. So go and get them!

Apple has made Xcode 4.1 free in the Mac App Store and on the Official Developer site. Xcode has been free with Mac OS X for many years now and Apple mysteriously made it $5.00 for all the non-develpers and now it is back to being free which doesn’t affect developers at all but for everyone else this is a great way to make your Lion apps! Go get Xcode from the Mac App Store or the Developer Connection.
Well it seems the rumors were true that the new Lion server was going to be a Mac App store add on. The server will cost you $50 and here is what you get for all of that.
Thats about it. A lot of things to cover today sorry for all the posts!
In all the news of Lion today Apple has released iWork update 6 bringing Lion features to the apps of iWork. Heres what’s new:
This update adds support for Mac OS X Lion and takes advantage of the following features: Full Screen, Resume, Auto Save, Versions,
Also iTunes 10.4 has been posted. 
iTunes 10.4 adds fullscreen support in Lion and 64 bit support. You can download iTunes 10.4 from apple.com/itunes/download/ don’t worry if it says 10.3 it’s 10.4.
Well the day has finally come. The the day where your internet connection is going to go insane. The day Lion is available to download from the Mac App Store. Yes Apple has released the new OS today like they said they would at a giant 3.5GB download size. It is going to take me a few hours or days to download Lion but when it is done soon after I promise a video review of the features and what you can do with the newest OS. To download Lion just launch the Mac App Store and click the Lion banner and then buy, download, and install.
