It's up, use this link

But there doesn't seem to be any option to control quality - the very problem I had with the Apple Youtube app.

 

[FerranMG]

Any idea on what are the chances we get iOS 6 on Apple TV during the following days?

I recently got one, and it seems like an amazing concept, but sadly I've been having a lot of problems with home sharing and the Apple lTV losing connection with my computer.
I'm really hoping for an update to solve this stuff.

Does clicking a YouTube link in Safari/Chrome launch the new YouTube app?

Nope. I don't think there's a way to change default app behaviour on iOS without jailbreaking.

Are you sure it's the ATV at fault? Mine's been running for months and never lost connection. Is it a known issue or something?

I've done quite a bit of research.
There's tons of people complaining about this everywhere (official Apple forums, Macrumors the ones I checked the most).
It seems things stopped working for many after iOS 5, but it's not clear if it's an AppleTV issue or an iTunes one.
Supposedly, 5.0.1 (IIRC) on AppleTV should have solved that, but there's still plenty of issues left.

It's one of these problems that some claim to have solved by "having a specific version of iTunes", "having a specific version of iOS on ATV", "having a specific router", "having some specific ports forwarded"...
You know, no true solution anywhere.

It's a shame because I can't stream video, pictures or audio for (usually) more than 20 minutes before it loses sync.

Ah man, that sounds like a pain in the ass. I'm pretty sure my ATV is running 5.0.1 and I know I'm running a Windows 64 bit version of iTunes but I'm not sure of the exact version number. I hope that gets resolved for you because it's a cracking piece of kit when it's working.

Yep, I tried to show the pictures from this summer to my parents using the ATV to 'stream' them from the computer to the tv..., and it never lasted for more than 10 minutes.
I tried to convince my wife to watch some series on the tv using the ATV, and we could never finish an episode without interruptions.

It's not only that it sucks because I can't use the Apple TV to make plenty of things I'd like. It sucks because all these problems make me look like an technological fool in front of everyone.

So am I just missing it or is there no volume slider on the new YouTube app?

Oh, that sucks.

Seriously? That's really annoying.

No, you're right. This is pathetic.

Settings > Notifications > Share Widget

Thanks. I do like iOS6 but the settings menu is a real mess. It needs a complete redesign

 

[The_Inquisitor]

Thanks. I do like iOS6 but the settings menu is a real mess. It needs a complete redesign

Agreed. Way too many clicks to get to wifi, brightness, ect.

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

Here's hoping iOS6 comes out tomorrow! D:

 

[andycapps]

No, you're right. This is pathetic.

It's that way on Android, FWIW. And has been for quite some time, I wouldn't expect that to change. Though Android does have an option for HQ or not. Default on Wifi is HQ, but default on 3G is non-HQ, though I believe you can override that in the app settings.

 

[123rl]

Agreed. Way too many clicks to get to wifi, brightness, ect.

There are just groups of icons on the settings page that were just thrown in randomly. Every time there's a new feature, they just find a new space to throw in the icon. Do Not Disturb is just thrown in between network carrier and Notifications

I had hoped they would use some of the built in UI for videos, but I guess that is askin too much.

HQ is definitely not consistent, even on wifi.

GM will almost certainly be. Public release, not likely.

Speaking of which, this is something I've completely forgotten about, but I hope Apple has been hard at work bringing the Podcasts app up to scratch for iOS 6 launch. Not being able to download podcasts directly to the device without the awful app is really annoying.

 

[noah111]

At least it's been organized in a much better than way than it is in iOS 5. If they simply allowed the ON/OFF toggle switch to exist alongside a > tappable menu, that'd solve the ease of accessibility issue.

I wouldn't mind that, but I doubt they'd add a native podcast app..

They put all the settings they thought you might use most frequently at the top of the list. People might not like how Apple does it, but that doesn't make it random.

 

[hirokazu]

I don't mean one included with iOS, but at least release an update for the app in the store to make it less shit.

 

[fat pat]

did ios5 release the same day as the 4s announcement?

 

[Treefingers]

No it was released a week after.

Hopefully they get the latter, at least, worked out. I'll miss that when I switch to get the new iPhone.

 

[Christopher]

Will there be a new iTunes? iTunes has looked the same for years now give us something different.

There have been rumours of a totally overhauled iTunes for the end of this year but nothing substantial. I have my fingers crossed though, I would looooove a new iTunes.

 

[pxleyes]

Well like you said, Google can make updates based on feedback at will now. That change everything. Google has been fantastic about updating their iOS apps as of late, so I expect that trend to continue.

 

[-Pyromaniac-]

The youtube app was definitely rushed. I expect a lot of updates within the next 2 weeks.

That would be great.

I use iTunes thanks to iTunes Match. Luckily it's on my SSD but before on my HDD it was horrendously slow. A new design and performance enhancements would be more than welcome.

There hasn't been an iOS beta release for a surprisingly long time. Usually they kick out a few close to being final.

My theory: The last beta was just stable enough for devs to code against the new APIs, and they've been adding non-API stuff in and changing things up cosmetically since then, keeping it internal to avoid leaks.

Maybe we're in for a surprise tomorrow.

I imagine there's a few thing relating to iPhone 5 they don't want to reveal by releasig betas until tomorrow.

 

[lupinko]

I love tinkering with iOS6B but I don't know if I want to go back to iOS5 when I get the new iPhone, unless the new iPhone has iOS6 already installed upon first day sale. =P

Thats pretty much a lock.

 

[Ingueferroque]

Youtube app is nice but needs more options. I really don't like the 'Youtube Recommended' videos popping up in my feed.

 

[Aesthet1c]

Assuming the iOS6 GM releases tomorrow, is there a way to do a straight upgrade from iOS5?

When I have installed the developer iOS's before it's always had to be a wipe and load install. I don't really want to do that since I'm worried about losing data in a lot of apps I have.

If not I guess I can wait for public release..

 

[GeoGonzo]

Settings -> Home Feed -> Uploads Only

What it really needs is to allow us to change video quality, like the web app.

Was clearly rushed out in time before the Apple conference, I imagine it'll receive some quick updates.

 

[Wario64]

Will iOS 6 be out early for the beta people?

 

[Tunesmith]

The GM build is usually released a week prior to the public release, if that's the case this time around it should hit later today or tomorrow.

 

[HBP]

Will iOS 6 be out early for the beta people?

Yes because they have to release the final SDK so devs can submit iOS6 code to Apple.

 

[Wario64]

I submitted my UDID to someone in this thread to get it registered for the beta but I never downloaded the beta. I guess I should be able to get the GM release though, huh?

Also, seems like iTunes just got updated to support iOS 6

You won't need to have a registered UDID for the GM, never have in the past. Unless something major happens its the identicle file that comes out to consumers next week.

No UDID needed for the GM release, and iTunes has supported iOS 6 since 10.6.3 which came out with the first Beta release.

http://www.theverge.com/2012/9/12/3322364/itunes-10-7-download-available-adds-ios-6-nano-shuffle

Ahead of an October launch for the completely revamped "new iTunes," Apple has served up iTunes 10.7 for Mac and Windows, which "adds support for iOS 6 running on compatible iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch models" and "adds support for the latest iPod nano and iPod shuffle models. It doesn't seem like much else is new in the update, even though 10.7 sounds like a whole lot more than 10.6.3, the latest version of iTunes.

So the youtube app is almost exactly like jellybeans now?

Heads up, the GM seed and XCode 4.5 is on it's way people.
