OneDrive for Business Glitch - Found the problem

When I opened OneDrive for Business on the Mac a few days ago, Ii noticed that it did not have the latest files.  As a matter of fact, the most recent file update was September 10.  Since my textbook and other important files are backed up, I had to figure out the problem.  I must have my files backed up and synced.

What happened is that during a Windows update at 9:32 PM on September 10, a corruption disconnected the cloud OneDrive for Business with my computer.  A fantastic tech support person, Sam, and I investigated the problem for about an hour.  About 2 minutes after we hung up the phone, we both figured out the solution simultaneously.  I checked the Microsoft Store and it showed that I had OneDrive for Business installed.  I found the app, logged in, and it worked!

Apple iOS 8.0 Update - Great News!

The Apple operating system update is available for the iPad as of today.  A summary of the features is available from the Apple website at http://www.apple.com/ios/whats-new/

The upgrade took an hour to download on my iPad today and then about 30+ minutes to install.  It is clearly a huge change.  I was asked to upgrade iCloud - but will wait until the updates are available for the Mac and iPhone.  I do have the ability to share my Apple resources with my husband. 

Remember, that when you do any upgrade the Bluetooth is turned on.  Turn it off for security and to save battery life.

I am looking forward to using some of the new features.  For example, with Messages, I can add a voice mail and share my location.  I figured out how to do a voice mail - tap and hold the microphone icon and then slide your finger up to the up arrow to send.  I did have not figured out location.  More to explore and looking forward to the adventure.
