Fix your broken Music in iOS 5
I upgraded three iOS devices to iOS 5 (iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS, iPad 2) and all of them would not play any music nor podcasts in the new Music app. The music and thumbnails were there but flat out refused to play.
The fix was to uncheck the “sync music” box in each device, hit apply, and re-sync all music over.
Hope this works for you as well.
Apple updates Lion to 10.7.2 + Lion Recovery Update
Updates galore: hot on the heels of iOS5, launching of iCloud.com, and iTunes 10.5 comes a couple more updates.
- Lion Recovery Update - includes improvements to Lion Recovery and addresses an issue with Find My Mac when using a firmware password.
- Mac OS X Update 10.7.2
iOS5 is out!
Downloading as I type this for my iPad 2 and iPhone 4 – not as fast as usual obviously as the servers must be getting hammered. Full list of new features available after the break.
Mobexo, advanced Mobile Payment Solution, launches
Mobexo, a new smartphone-based payment solution, has officially launched. Interesting that it does not use any NFC technology. Take a look at the video introduction:
Here is the full press release:
Mobexo is an innovative smartphone-based payment solution. With Mobexo, traditional payment instruments such as credit cards, bank accounts, checks or promotion vouchers are “virtualized” into smartphones.
The payment process is purely smartphone-based and no specific hardware is required. No Near Field Communication (NFC) chip, no specific point-of-sales terminal: Mobexo takes advantage of any smartphone with a display and a camera. QR codes are utilized in an unprecedented safe and smart way.
According to CEO Sopheap Lao (aka 劉鴻基), “It is not only safer and more convenient than traditional payment instruments such as cash or credit cards. It is also greener and more durable as it generates no paper and no waste. Moreover, it is probably the most secure and the most easy-to-use mobile payment solution ever designed today. Mobexo’s platform is so extensible we are yet working on hundreds of services to come, many one them being country-specific.”
The app will be available in the appStore on iPhone iOS5 as soon as iOS5 is released. Android and Windows Mobile versions are coming soon.
