You know, I have usually had pretty good luck with patches from Apple, but this time aournd it seems to have broken my iPhone sync a bit – it doesn’t seem to want to do the calendar part of the sync without an error. I may try a reinstall of 8.1 or even a restore of my iPhone if it gets annoying.
Anyone else seeing anything like this?
