IPhone Updates, Downloads, and Monday Mornings
Ok, I didn’t start this process on a Monday morning, but there was an “emergency” update by apple on Thursday that seemed to hose my iPhone. The update was 9.3.1 and was to address a problem some people were having when they tried to click on links in emails. To be honest, I rarely try […]

Core Data and iOS
