  • Spotlight still crashes with 9.0.1

  • @MusicInclusive, thanks for the heads up, this is what I was looking for, a comparison test, in as much the same hardware running different versions of iOS, but it looks to be bad news in conclusion. Over recent versions of iOS speculation has been abound that Apple in certain regards have been creating updates that cut performance on older devices, this I feel was the case since I upgraded to iOS 8 on my mini retina, but it could have been a subjective analysis, from me. I do hope Apple can remedy this situation, if not I will be reevaluating the future of iOS devices and as to how I use them into the future.

    I just saw I have 43 updates waiting to be downloaded. They're all the updates since september 15th which I definitely already installed. Is there something wrong with the App Store? Something to do with the availability of 9.0.1? Weird... Logging out and back into my account and rebooting don't fix it. Same thing on the phone and the pad. Very annoying. Am I the only one experiencing this?

    I am NOT a happy iOS 9 bunny. Those here in the iPad Musician FB group who haven't checked my updates today... well, I'll let them speak for themselves when you do.

    In summary, for everyone else, a test I had for whether things were better in iOS 9 demonstrated that they weren't. Worse in fact than 8 appeared to be.

    NOW that doesn't mean that many folks (including me in many instances! :-) ) can't make productive use of 9 - at all. I can - you can - and will!

    But, for the specific test case I tried on 9 with a brand new freshly loaded mini 2 with 9.0.1 as an example of a combination of apps that used to work well under on another mini 2 doing the same test with 7.1.2 with pre-AB-SDK 2.1 apps - it demonstrates that 9 is unusable for certain combinations, whereas 7.1.2 with those older ipas is not.

    Glad I didn't spend more than $199 on a 2nd user mini 2 16 to test it with. I will stick with 7.1.2 and older ipas for the most part on other iDevices.

    I'll offer details if anyone is interested who is here but not in iPM.

    Not trying to spoil the party, really! :-D - just being realistic and checking against a known use case . :-)

    I'd believe that, 7.2 on my old iPad 2 works smoother in a lot of instances than 8.3 on my Air 2.

    At some point I'll reach the perfect state my pad/apps/iOS were in a year or so ago, and not update anything ever again.

    i got this too. i installed them, thinking they were new updates, then i saw the dates, so that was confusing. instead of 43 i got 6 though. nothing happened to be honest, and turning off and on the ipad did not gave me these updates again.

    btw, i had not installed 9.0.1 [which im doing now]

    edit - installed 9.0.1 and i got the gadget update again, from sep 16. fak. but that was the only one, so i guess... so far so good? shieeet.

    Well, I've got 58 old updates showing up now after installing 9.0.1 on the mini 2. What a mess. I wonder if they also broke cellular again like in 8.0.1 ;-)

  • yeah, its messy. the isem update just showed up too, which was not part of the ones i saw before installing 9.0.1. shieeet to da max. TO DA MAX!!

  • Someone posted an alternative approach over at iPM @banjofran - which I'm going to try - might save someone else's sanity! :-) in that they can take the alternate approach. I'll summarize both approaches when I've had time to do that.

    I get the same mess from the AppStore, it's all apps I updated a few days ago.

  • edited September 2015

    Yeah, I am now seeing previously updated apps show up agin for download in iOS 9.0.1 although I Was prompted to update the same version of Audiobus while still in 9.0. A full reboot did not help updates to ignore repeats

  • Maybe they started implementing app thinning

  • edited September 2015

    Me too. Cotracks, Sketch Club...I have updated twice (I mean, th same updated). Right now, Appstore shows again the last Gadget and Jam Maestro updates. I don't know why.

    Ipad running 8.4.1

  • I just clicked update all again, meh.

  • Same problem here. I've had 21 updates on my iPad Air 2 and about the same amount on my iPhone 6 Plus today. Every one of them is an update I had already downloaded. I'm also getting random app icons in my App Store update list that won't show up unless I switch to a different app or a different page on the store.

  • OK. Here is the resolution that worked. Previously the approach of using multiple input apps through a single chain worked well on 7.1.2 with Pre-AB SDK 2.1 apps. Still does. Does not work well post (didn't while on 7.1.2 with updated ipas - before 8 was even out) - unusable crackling, Animoog animation slowdown to crawl, nasty buzzing, etc. etc.

    Nor on 9 on a decent iPad (all on a mini 2 - same as Air less 0.1GHz).

    BUT - as was suggested by Ted Barrett over at iPM - all credit due to him, he scores 10 today in my book! :-) - ... the MiMix solution does work - and at 256 as well. However - it does show the funny message on startup, and gives the busy when you dismiss that. But, it is working.

  • after I crash with spotlight I have to hard reset the device, otherwise the screen rotation doesn't work right anymore :/

  • Ok, I guess the ipad stays on 8.4.1 for a while. iPhone 4s is getting unusable with ios9. I'm going to try restoring it to "factory fresh" then reinstalling apps I need manually, rather than trying to restore from backup. It's taking 10 seconds or so for a keyboard to pop up (Swype is installed) when I click on a text box, or maybe not at all and killing the app and going to a different one may help, sometimes a restart has to do it. Looks like the forced obsolescence plan is working...ios8 on the phone sucked and runs well on my iPad Air.

    Having updates show up again isn't limited to iOS 9, getting the same behavior with iOS 8.4.1. The annual iOS update doesn't just effect people who have upgraded to the new iOS, it also effects app updates for already installed versions of the iOS. For me there seem to be fewer issues with switching from 8.4.1 to 9 versus 7 to 8 on the iPad 2. Will definitely wait at least several months before things settle down before updating the more recent iPads that I use on a regular basis. Any predictions on how long before they stop TestFlight iOS 8 support?

    At this point it seems we had perhaps 6 months of relative stability with iOS 8 (wouldn't argue with those who'd say less). Hopefully it won't take so long and last longer for iOS 9.

    Dunno what you guys make of this, but rather than thin my apps down for the 1.2g update for Korg module, I deleted and reinstalled it. The update has now disappeared from the list.
    I've lost some presets but it's not a big deal. Seems to me there is a new version but it's dated the same as the last one? Or needs reapplying after updating to 9.01?

  • Embrace the limitations, Georges Perec had to spend 7 weeks on arithmetic to get the busted-OS pure-chance constraints we've been gifted here.

  • This is why I'll stay away from 9 until about the time 10 comes out... The never-ending story.

  • It's much better than last year. :)

    I do like slide over a lot.

    Nah, more like app thickening :(

  • This old update problem must be putting a huge extra load on their servers. At least they're solar powered...

  • Only 9 updates and still no download of Thesys I bought yesterday.

  • edited September 2015

    I don't like Thesys at all, for once I agree with the 'too small' comments, but I also find it a bizarre thing to use. Wish I'd refunded it to be honest, and gone for the Virsyn one

    Ah cool - I'll have to wrestle my old iPad from Monzo Jnr's grip and try that out.

    I do miss the days, just over a year ago when everything worked, until one update click brought the whole thing crashing down....

    I blame GarageBand - if they had audio volume automation I'd never have needed Auria and a new pad.
