Am I missing something with passpook it was there on the upgrade but when I open it I can do nothing with it

Had a heart stopping moment when I clicked into contacts and had over 800. :O All my Facebook friends added to my contacts. My number available to them all. But I soon realised it's just FB profile links and email. And then clicked on the groups and hid them all. Crisis averted.

The only major update I've seen is the do not disturb thing.

Someone has to send you a pass - like a boarding pass or an invite to a movie etc. of course Apple could have explained that.

Not sure but I think tickets etc get dropped into it when created via other apps/websites.

If you click the appstore link from passbook, it brings up a lufthansa app.
that wasn't there until late this evening

Any ideas how to configure this? I can turn it on or off but can't do anything else.

Just noticed a crescent moon symbol beside my clock in the upper bar

What does it actually do? The do not disturb I mean.

Duggys Housemate

It's in settings somewhere - in the phone. It stops people calling past a certain time unless they ate in your list, or call twice - and you can turn that off.

First time all day i've clicked 'check for app updates' and it's said none available. I must of downloaded some amount of stuff today. Thanks God for UPC and my 500GB usage limit

They've changed the mail settings, now you pull the mail down to update, rather than tapping the icon, looks kinda cool. And the font's changed on the music screen/.

guil

a lot of things have changed, new dialer, new ipod ui, post to twitter/facebook from the NC, new app store, safari can go full screen in landscape, icloud tabs on multiple devices

What's I cloud tabs and how do I get panoramic camera to work :-/

Open tabs will appear on multiple devices.

Click options on camera. Choose Panoramic. Then hold steady and slow down!

Painful process on an iPhone 4. Indicator initially states 6 minsto complete but it took 90.

guil

looks as if icloud tabs was there before but i think it just syncs all your web browsing across all devices, i think panarama only works on the 4s and 5

Need to download the podcast app as podcasts are no longer stored in music.

Can anyone post a few screen shots of maps just so we can have a look. Nowhere in particular
Thanks

No panorama on I phone 4 all right

Yep. Went to update my podcasts and said podcasts have moved and clicking ok brings you to the app store. The app was released before and you could have the podcasts in both the app or music but once you download the app the podcast name vanishes from where it was before.

Is that app still rubbish? I got it when it first came out but found it awful so I went back to using rssradio.

Doesn't seem bad to me but it seems apple haven't given us a choice.

I wouldn't mind trying iOS 6 but I need to wait for the jailbreak I think.

jakdublin

Liking imessages more now that we can text from our desktop using our phone number instead of our email. Like the maps too, especially considering the negative feedback it was getting.

Sad Professor

The reason Apple introduced the standalone Podcasts app is because they wanted to remove podcasts from the Music app. It doesn't make sense to have them in both places.

The app still has a lot of bugs and annoying behaviour, but a new update came out today that promises more stability improvements. I haven't had a chance to test it yet.

If the maps are really wrong I don't want to upgrade as I use them alot. I will wait till I see some better map update.

I saw from a friends update that Dublin zoo address was strange and a few other things.

biffontour

Just downloaded IOS 6, Seems to have a nice few tweeks but my big problem is not having streetview on maps as i use it quite alot, is there any app that can give me Streetview?

No you'll have to wait till Google launch a new app.

Really you should have read this thread or any other site before updating. We've been talking about it here since it was announced in June.

No. You'll have to wait for Google to release a standalone app. In the meantime you can use the website.

Just looked up Howth Gardai & it gave the location in Mayo !!

Anyway, just create a link to maps.google.com on your home screen. Just did it & prefer it to the traditional app.

The maps are atrocious. Very sorry I updated because the new features aren't all that impressive.

podge018

is it true there's no youtube app after the update?

Fuh Q

looks like the maps are a let down = http://www.thejournal.ie/iphone-maps-dublin-airport-601831-Sep2012/?utm_source=facebook_self&utm_medium=thejournal&utm_campaign=from_page

Not a built in one but you have to download the new app.

half true. It's no longer preinstalled, but you can download Googles own version from the App Store.

Funny, I typed in Howth Garda Station and it brought me to Howth Garda Station! I love the flyover view in Dublin city centre, although its a bit sluggish to load. I actually love the new maps.

Ah come on. Even my Nokia N86 had this. :mad:

I'm holding off until Google release a Maps app at the very least.

Just wondering what will happen if you synch your podcasts from iTunes on your computer to your phone if you don't have the podcast app installed. They used to go to the music app but where do they end up now?

Anyone know when the Google Maps app is due out?

colly10

Anyone know how to get the podcast section on iTunes?

He means via Apple's camera app specifically. There are other 3rd party apps that can be used for panorama photos on the iPhone 4 (and 4S, and 5, and likely the 3GS as well).
