Blog: Server problems are never fun

After upgrading the hardware on my OS X Server I decided to do a fresh install in an effort to speed things up and just clear any junk that might have accumulated over time. I made backups of everything I needed. As it turns out my iCal server didn’t get properly backed up… I followed Apple’s suggestions for backing up the iCal server data store but it ended up not copying everything it needed so now I’m without calendar data. Everything else is fine though, so that’s good.

Blog: My picks for WWDC10

Over on my Mac forum I’ve posted a list of items I think Apple may announce tomorrow at the WWDC 10 Keynote.

My top picks:

  • New iPhone – I’m almost positive Apple will announce a new iPhone tomorrow, probably calling it iPhone 4, iPhone HD or just iPhone.
  • iPhone OS 4.0 – Apple will probably preview more of iPhone OS 4.0 and give a sold release date (probably within a few weeks or a month, my best guess is sometime just before the new iPhone is available).
  • iPad OS 4.0 – Apple has already said that iPad OS 4.0 will not be available until after summer, but I’m betting developers will get a SDK.
  • Mac OS X 10.7 – While I think they’ll talk about it there will probably be a developer preview and a name (at best).

Wild cards:

  • Apple TV – A refresh of the Apple TV, I’m thinking more of an Xbox/PS3 as far as games/Apps and an overhaul of the existing functions. Also Apple’s Game Center in iPhone OS 4.0 ties into this idea nicely.
  • iWork/iLife 10 – Both iWork and iLife are still on the 09 versions, usually they are updated early in the year but it’s never too late to push out a small update and charge people money for a feature or two they’ll never use.
