Happy Hump Day All.
So here is some information for peeps still fighting the MFT/Apple iOS8 wars.
With some testing I have been able to repeat breaking and repairing the MFT connection with both iPhone 5s and 6 Plus. All the reported issues seem to arise when the phone is logged into iCloud. Which naturally is needed if one wants to sync pictures etc.
If you follow the apple directions to logout of iCloud, go to the iCloud.com site and remove your device and then delete Sync from your phone BT and your phone from MFT and finally, reset MFT the claws of Apple will be broken. Again as mentioned in earlier post rename your phone before adding it to MFT.
My son and I successfully broke and repaired both phones 4 times yesterday just to confirm it is the actual cause.
As of this morning it is looking like we may see iOS 8.1 in the next couple of days.
Apple is announcing the new iPads tomorrow which is supposed to include Apple Pay. Groups testing BETA's 1 & 2 have reported fixes are present for the BT issues.
Walgreens stated in a memo to all its stores that Apple Pay will rollout on October 18th and be live in their stores. All this requires iOS 8.1
If this does not happen on time the egg already on Apples face will be severely scrambled.
So hang in there my fellow Exploders. There is light at the end of the tunnel. The question still remains if it is a runaway train or not.
