Reports are surfacing of a new scam that has been affecting some Apple customers. The scam is a phishing email that disguises itself as a notice from MobileMe, and then attempts to steal users personal financial details.
Following Apple’s release earlier today of new iOS 5, iTunes, and iWork for iOS betas, it appears that Apple has also released new betas of OS X Lion 10.7.2, Safari 5.1.1, and the iCloud control panel to registered Mac developers.
Along with Apple’s release of iOS 5 beta 6 (and associated iTunes and XCode developer updates) earlier today, Apple has also released a new developer beta of iWork for iOS.
As the release of iOS 5 and Apple’s iCloud services draws closer, Apple has released a seventh build of iCloud for Mac to developers, along with an updated build of OS X Lion 10.7.2 (11c37).
Apple issued new developer seeds of OS X 10.7.2 Lion and the iCloud developer beta. The updates allow developers to begin officially migrating their MobileMe accounts to Apple’s iCloud service.
Continuing Apple’s series of iCloud-related developer releases, reports suggest that Find My Mac has now officially gone live for developers at well.
In a continuation of Apple’s iCloud revelations, following the availability of iCloud.com and beta versions of iWork for iOS to developers, Apple has now unveiled a brand new web app for Find My iPhone.
As Apple continues to venture into new territories, a new report suggests that Apple is preparing to launch a brand new video service as part of iCloud. The new service will be called iTunes Replay, and will allow users to re-download and possibly stream movies previously through iTunes.
Building on his earlier similar claims, Jefferies & Co analyst Peter Misek now claims that Apple already has the necessary deals in place with video studios and networks to launch their own Netflix-like video subscription service, which they’ll call iTunes Replay.
Following yesterday’s unveiling of iCloud.com to registered Apple iOS developers, Apple also released betas of iWork for iOS that feature iCloud support as well. The betas are only available through the iOS developer portal, and have no additional features other than iCloud support.
Apple today went live with iCloud.com – the web based portal that at the moment allows you access Mail, Contacts, Calendar, iWork, and Find my iPhone from the Cloud. If you have a developer account you can login at iCloud.com.
Apple has seeded OS X Lion 10.7.2 to developers through their developer portal. The 10.7.2 release introduces iCloud functionality for Lion. No mention of 10.7.1. is made within the developer portal, indicating that it’s likely a minor update to the OS that we will see in the next few days / couple of weeks.
iOS 5 beta so far have been all about introducing, optimizing and refining the new features of iOS 5. iOS 5 has already featured iTunes in the cloud, reminders, and many enhancements across the OS, but iOS 5 Beta 4 has just brought Documents in the Cloud to the table.
Previously, we reported that Apple would be offering refunds to people that had unused MobileMe subscriptions, or still had significant time left on their existing subscriptions. Now, it appears that they are beginning to issue those refund checks!
Apple has just posted a new web page with the purpose of answering people’s questions about transitioning from MobileMe to iCloud, Apple’s new (free) service that launches this fall. The new page states which services will and won’t be sticking around by the time Fall rolls around.
Following yesterday’s refresh of new 2TB and 3TB Time Capsules, Apple apparently quietly refreshed their AirPort Extreme wireless base station as well. Considering that there are no visible spec changed (or price changes), however, I am curious as to why.
