Man, if I had a tech-ego, it'd have taken a shot today
So. Let me spin you the scenario here.
I get home from work. iPad 3rd gen, iPhone 4. I want to upgrade both to iOS 6. I had kicked off the iPad before I left to work, but I come home to a notice that the upgrade failed because iTunes couldn’t work a backup on the iPad.
Fuck, sez I. So I disconnect it, reconnect it, and now iTunes flat-out refuses to see any device I plug into it. I try all four of my front-mount USB ports and both my cables, all combos, no joy. I bounce iTunes. I bounce my PC. Nothing.
Cue the Spouse. MongoWife comes in because I’m grumbling loud enough for her to hear. She bounces my phone, I move one of my cables to a back-mount USB port, we shut down iTunes and bring it back up, and then … sonofabitch … everything works.
Man, I do this for a living and have been for close to two decades now and I got pwned by the chem major.
Upshot is, iOS 6 on my toys!
