On Jazz Vocalist Rebecca Kilgore's Birthday

24 September was jazz singer Rebecca Kilgore's birthday.

Because of the Apple iOS 8.x updates and the unexpected wrinkles with it and the associated developer apps, I have had to do a number of things to get all my iOS devices in working order. I did not get around to do this posting on her birthday.

Anyway, here is the music video post - three days behind. Enjoy.

Stuck in the iOS 8.0.1 Failed to Install Twilight Zone?

All of my pre-iPhone 6 iOS devices (iPhone 5s and 4s) were updated to iOS 8.0.1 without problems. Apple, however, did pull the platform update during my iPad Mini-Retina installation. It left a red herring message saying to the effect the update could not be completed because the Internet was not connected.

If you are experiencing the same problem which I'd encountered with the iPad Mini iOS 8.0.1 install process, don't mess with your internet router and settings. Most important, don't panic and go restoring your iOS 8.0 via iTunes. The prior updated iOS 8.0 is still working on the installed device.

To rid the "stuck" iOS 8.0.1 installation file, do these steps instead.

On your iOS 8.0.1 stuck-during-install devices, do the following:

Settings > General > Usage > Manage Storage >select the first app on the top which is the iOS 8.0.1 update file > Delete.

If you have already updated to 8.0.1 on your iPhone 6 which had messed up your cellular calling services and Touch ID, do a search on Google for help. I recommend the affected user go directly to the Apple Knowledge Base for a temporary fix at:

after Updating to iOS 8.01 on iPhone 6 or iPhone 6 Plus.

In Silence Now the Purpling Summer Passes

August
Clark Aston Smith
(1893-1961)

In silence now the purpling summer passes,
The swallows fly;
The failing river scantly glasses,
Where amber twilights wane,
Our dreaming kiss above the flow'rs that die...

Will love at last remain?
Ever I pray to find
(Though all the heav'ns be blind!)
The gold of love and summer in thy hair;
And breathe between thy shadowy breasts again,
In eves of autumn wind,
All flowers that failed upon a windless air.
