Store won't load for me

 

[ukaskew]

It doesn't make much sense to me, they've gone for a real nice screen, yet still on the same storage. Have fun storing any HD stuff.

Cloud, innit.

In all seriousness, I imagine the floods etc might have put the brakes on any major storage upgrades, considering the amount of units they need to put out. That and looking at eBay etc, the 64GB was nowhere near as popular as the others.

 

[Revels]

This really annoys me.

Billion dollar company. Massive data centres. SORT YOUR f**king WEBSITE OUT!

It crashes on every launch. Yes. It's a sudden load. But not like they can't spare a few quid to sort it out. Their two biggest product launches every year and the website can't cope with demand.

 

[C.J]

I agree. You'd think they'd sort it.

Floods only stopped mechanical drives and everyone says Cloud storage but unless you're on 4G it's pointless for high quality stuff!

 

[Nik]

Yep, the whole idea behind cloud computing is to be able to scale up for spikes in demand, so you'd think they'd have it sussed now

 

[MaLicE]

i want this to go with it...

but wit the mouth attachment and a pic of revels

4S was fine, no crashes.

I just waited 10 minutes and then got the engraving screen FFS, when will apple realise we don't want f**king engraving.

And then it loaded my basket with the airport extreme I was looking at the other day, so am now waiting an age for that to delete.

LOL, I'll offer to run 'The New iPhone' launch later in the year on the CS server

 

[Lou]

Store down again!

 

[Al_G]

So the new 16gig wifi only iPad is likely to be £399 and the 32gig wifi only £499?

Sorry if this has been asked a zillion times!

 

[C.J]

The 4S was easier than this, but far from painless.

It was dog slow, but I don't remember it crashing. To say they've not even had a weeks worth of publicity (pushing the pre order date) surprising me.

 

[Adam]

Still no iTunes 10.6 and iOS 5.1

Sorry, did you just **** Apple off? lol

[.Simon]

... and iTunes 10.6 now available for download.

 

[Adam]

Yep, downloading all now,

 

[jenic]

Ordered!

 

[Revels]

I don't believe you.

 

[jenic]

I don't believe you.

Phoned them up

Apparently I am the second order to go through for the UK as their systems are playing up

 

[C.J]

Tried calling a few times, no luck getting through either.

Just says too busy, then cuts me off.

 

[Adam]

lol

 

[eugegall]

Can someone summarise the main differences with IOS 5.1 please?

 

[jenic]

And he emailed me the screenshots of the order too....

 

[ColinG]

My update keeps failing

 

[C.J]

I'm on hold now.

 

[Sumner]

£399.17 for the 32GB am I missing something? Thought it would of been more expensive.

 

[eugegall]

Its nothing dramatic so i won't rush to update phone. iTunes downloaded really quick though.

 

[jenic]

£399.17 for the 32GB am I missing something? Thought it would of been more expensive.

+VAT

£479 in total.

Ahhh cheers. Trying to ring through now.

 

[Lou]

I just kept getting told due to high volume of calls they can't take mine and cut me off.

 

[Christopher]

Nice enough upgrade but I think I'll get one in the summer.

 

[C.J]

I just kept getting told due to high volume of calls they can't take mine and cut me off.

I got that a few times too, now on hold (13 mins so far).

I asked for Apple TV instead of iPad at the menu. Got straight through.

 

[ColinG]

I've still got 8 payments on my 64gb iPad 2.. Won't be getting this one

Will wait for iPad 4

Cant wait for iPhone 5 though, had my 4 since launch.. Fancy a new phone!

 

[sbridgey]

Seems pretty pointless if you already have an Ipad 2.

 

[Gareth]

Yeah must admit, as much as I like the Retina display, I think I'll hang on to my iPad 2 for now.
