First public ADN post from iOS 8.

Finally, in iCloud Backup Restore Purgatory

Alrighty, the issue was a corrupt download. I guess that happens when you go grey market…

Clearly this iOS 8 is not going well on my Mac, keep getting error 14. Let's see if my PC does any better…

And it looks like I should reboot the Mac because now the iOS 8 restore is borking…

Lesson learned: only one iOS device plugged in at a time during an upgrade.

Ergh… upgrade to iOS 8 borked. iPhone now in restore mode… "this will take a while"

"Verifying updated iPhone software" apparently takes a while…

Let the iOS 8 GM backup and upgrade begin…

Meet the new boss: same as the old boss.
