What’s New in iOS 8.4

iOS 8.4 Home Sharing

iOS 8.4 Home Sharing

Apple removed Home Sharing from iOS 8.4, leaving some users in a lurch without an option to easily share music from a home computer to the iPhone or iPad while on the same network. 

This feature is most used by people with large music collections that cannot fit on the iPhone or iPad. There is no Home Sharing option on iOS 8.4, but it is coming back. 

Eddy Cue, Apple SVP of Internet Software and Services confirmed on Twitter that, "We are working to have Home Sharing in iOS 9." This means a long wait as the iOS 9 release date is not slated to arrive until fall.

    So on the New Beats1 app After Beginning the 3 month trial, I add all this music to my library and Music. I was wondering if after the free trial I will still have the music??

    3 things I can’t stand about this update:
    1) you can’t find your saved radio stations.
    2) you don’t get a free 3 month trial unless you pay for the fourth month up front.
    3) no home sharing.

    “You may not need all these bugs…”
    “We did not run into any problems with this personally…”
    “…they might help push you over the fence…”
    You’re 99% there.
    As when reading instructions translated from Japanese, it’s the 1% that makes it fun.
    :D

    I can’t replay all my songs from one artist if they are on different albums. I have to manually go in and start each song individually if they are on different albums which is ridiculous. Used to just hit play on an artist and it would play every song I downloaded by that artist.

    Why is the iMessage fix involved in this? shouldn’t it be 8.3.x? That sort of thing should be kept out of software releases that many people don’t want to do just because it’s easier for Apple. No, thanks.

    After this update my 6plus freezes regularly, if I page down too fast in Facebook, Twitter, cnn … It will continually freeze for about 10 seconds. I am also having issues with playing videos, he screen goes black and nothing happens.

    I don’t like this update because in my playlist, i was able to repeat a song or repeat my playlist where i didn’t have to keep restarting to hear the same song or playlist. I used that feature a lot sometimes i like to repeat a song and it would play continuously but now it doesn’t do this and i can’t seem to figure out where it is or did they get rid of it. I went to the apple store today to see if they could help me and they were not help because they didn’t even know what to do. it would be nice when they do these update that they would at least inform the apple employees and support people what they got rid of and how to go about fixing or finding a replacement for what they got rid of. I really liked the feature where i can repeat a song and playlist. and i am not happy about this.

    I tried doing what the author said to start a Genius Playlist – it is not there. Is the subscription required to use the Genius feature now?

    My iPhone 6 worked just fine, but over the last few days, battery life has suddenly become ridiculously poor. Battery gets drained even if the phone is charging. I have made changes to the settings in the phone, so I will see how it goes.

    IOS 8.4.1 is a nightmare. Phone is now crashing, hanging, apps are freezing and then unfreezing. Returned my Apple Watch (as have hundreds of thousands). Rapidly losing faith in Apple. Please figure out how to resurrect Steve Jobs.
