The New iPods: A Runner's Perspective

I've owned almost every iteration of iPods since the 3rd generation Classic, before the click wheel was introduced. I've owned 3rd, 4th, and 5th gen. Classics, a 1st and 2nd gen. Shuffle, a 4th gen. Nano, and the original iPhone. When I'm not working at TSP and saving the computer world, I spend a great deal of my time running. The two products I use most often during exercise are the 2nd gen.

Upgrading to iOS 4? Read me.




Unless you've been living under a rock, it's hard to avoid the news that Apple released a new iPhone, the iPhone 4. But for those of you with an iPhone 3 or 3GS, you may find it hard to stomach the cost of the new phone along with renewing your contract with AT&T for another couple years. So another one of Apple's announcements, the newly available upgrade called iOS 4, is welcome news for the rest of us.

"iOS" is Mr. Jobs' new name for the iPhone operating system and iOS 4 upgrades the core capabilities on the iPhone 3 and 3GS and to a lesser degree the iPod Touch and original iPhone. Even without the latest iPhone, you can get a lot of its features of the iPhone 4 with a simple software upgrade.

There's tons of articles about what features are included in iOS 4, so feel free to read Ars Technica's review of iOS 4. However, we know that a lot of our customers have iPhones, so we figured we'd pull out a few key things that every iPhone user should know about upgrading before they push the button.

Snow Leopard iCal Server Invitation Problem - "Recipient address rejected"

We've seen an obscure problem for one of our servers running on 10.6.4 (Mac OS X Snow Leopard Server) which was upgraded from 10.5. When attempting to implement the iCal Email Invitations function, I found that all of the usual tricks didn't work.

SMB Access for Mac OS X Server (10.5/10.6)

Frequently, I've had issues with Windows machines accessing OS X Servers just set up with SMB sharing. It seems that the Windows client needs to allow a certain type of authentication to allow the machine to log into the OS X Server, and that setting isn't correct by default. The problem also happens for Linux servers as well, not just Mac OS X Server.

Note that by making these changes, you're making things that much less secure on the Windows side of things by allowing an older, less secure encryption method for authentication. While most of you won't care (because you're just looking for a solution for an in-house server), if you're working with a server which is publicly available (for some crazy reason), then get to know the facts before making these changes.

Here's directions on how to make that change in many of the various flavors of Windows:
