Apple Releases iTunes 11.2. to Fix the Hidden “Users” Folder
The Global nightmare is over!
In the early AM of May 17, 2014 Apple releases iTunes 11.2.1 to fix the hidden “Users” folder. After iTunes 11.2.1 is installed, “Users” folder is no longer hidden.
“Users” folder becomes hidden when the following conditions met:
- OS X Mavericks 10.9.3 build 13D65 is installed
- iTunes 11.2 is installed
- “Find My Mac” is turned on
The “Users” folder could be made visible again by changing the visibility flag using the Terminal command:
sudo chflags nohidden /Users/
Users are finding out that even after the “Users” folder becomes hidden again after reboot.
One last day to buy an Apple TV and get a $25 iTunes Gift Card
March 5, 2014 will be the last day to buy an Apple TV and get a $25 iTunes Gift Card.
I got one earlier today because I happened to need one, for educational purpose.
As usual some news outlet translated the promotion as a sign that new Apple TV is coming out really soon, only to be debunked by the bearded one*.

iOS 7 is released
Apple releases iOS 7 to the general public on Wednesday September 18, 2013. It carries build number 11465 which is the same build with iOS 7 Golden Master which was seeded to developers on September 10, 2013.
iOS 7 is available through over the air Software Update or download through iTunes.
In addition to that, Apple also released iTunes 11.1 today.
Uncommon Sense, iOS 7 beta and App Reviews
Apple is expected to release iOS 7 sometimes in Fall 2013. So far, five beta builds of iOS 7 have been seeded to developers. A lot of progress have been made since the first iOS 7 beta was released. The first iOS 7 beta had a lot of known issues. Apple has been fixing the issues with consequent beta builds. With iOS 7 beta 5, there are still some relatively major issues and the are expected to be fixed I’m the upcoming betas.
Developers are expected to work on their existing Apps to ensure compatibilities with iOS 7. Since iOS 7 is still in beta, developers cannot submit Apps created using iOS 7 SDK beta at this time. Thus existing Apps are likely to be incompatible with iOS 7 beta.
There are a lot of people who should not install iOS 7 beta on their devices in the first place. That’s because they installed iOS 7 beta for all the wrong reasons. They left reviews for Apps at the App Store complaining that the Apps do not work with iOS 7 beta. It is obvious that these people are not developers and do not have common sense at all.
Apple should crack down on this type of review on the App Store and delete them. Furthermore, Apple should temporarily ban their account from posting any reviews until iOS 7 is released publicly.
