Trying to install IOs 8 and fail

2014-06-05 Thread Krister Ekstrom
Hi and sorry for cross posting but this stupid question of mine conserns both 
the Mac and the IPhone. I'm trying to install the new IOS8 beta to see how 
accessibility is and am failing miserably because i get an error message saying 
the file with the firmware isn't compatible. Now i know that the firmware i 
downloaded is compatible with my device, the IPhone GSM model, and still Itunes 
complains over incompatibility so i think that it's the ITunes version that's 
not the latest one, and i can't find it anywhere, so is there somewhere i can 
look for a beta version of ITunes?
Thanks so much in advance.

RE: Trying to install IOs 8 and fail

2014-06-05 Thread Sieghard Weitzel
Hi Krister,

You have to be a registered developer to install iOS Beta software. If you
are you can download the Beta from the Apple developer center, if you are
not a registered developer (it costs $99 a year) you should probably not
attempt this; in any case, Cara and Raul will kick your butt if you are not
a developer and are posting questions or comments to the list regarding
running an iOS Beta and if you are a developer you can't post because you
would have agreed to an NDA which means a Non-Disclosure Agreement
according to which you agreed not to tell anybody about any features of Beta
software that is not accessible to the public.
Apple announced that the are going to offer a public beta for the new OSX 10
operating system, but there is no public beta for iOS.

Now, even if you do have a developer account I would highly discourage you
to install a first Beta. They are usually really meant for developers only
as they will have lots of bugs and often are not even close to being feature
complete. For example, Apple said the Alex voice is coming to the iPhone and
I assume this means it will be available as a US English Voiceover voice.
Now, it may very well be that in a first or even second Beta this may not
even be there. If I remember correctly iOS 7 had 5 Beta versions between the
announcement at the beginning of June last year and its release in mid
September and unless you are developing apps and need the iOS 8 environment
for testing, it's best to wait at least until Beta 3.


Regards,
Sieghard

solved now and i'm now trying to find and enable the dictation function. And

Re: How to Test iOS 8 Legally (was Trying to install IOs 8 and fail)

2014-06-05 Thread Jonathan Mosen
Further to Sieghard's excellent message, if anyone wants to explore what's 
involved in taking the plunge and testing iOS, I produced a webinar on this 
subject last year and you can still purchase the MP3 archive. It's at
http://mosen.org/index.php/testing-testing-mosen-consulting-ios-webinar/
Personally I encourage anyone who is willing to accept that there'll be bugs, 
and who is good at clearly articulating to Apple what problems they're having 
and what causes them, to give it a go. The more capable people we have feeding 
back at this stage of the process, the more we may benefit through bugs being 
squashed before release.
That said, any software company has to prioritise bugs, so some may just not 
make being fixed before the final cut.
Happy testing.
