by Mike Schramm (May 11th, 2011)

Not a week after the last update, iPhoto 9.1.3 is available via Software Update as well as on Apple's support site.

iPad 101: Reverting to an older version of an application

by Michael Rose (Jan 28th, 2011)

It happens to us all: an application update for the iPhone or iPad goes awry, and the new app doesn't do things the way we want (or, unfortunately, work at all on one of our devices). We ourselves are in that boat at the moment, since the new version 2.0 of the TUAW iPhone app is not working ...

I remember Loopt being one of the first apps out on the App Store, back when the iPhone's platform was first released.
