Apple just released it’s new operating system (5.0) for iPhone, iPad, and iPod Touch. Unfortunately the new OS causes problems with The Photographer’s Guide to Yosemite iPhone app. We have already submitted an update to Apple that will fix the problem, but under normal circumstances it takes a week for Apple to approve this, and I suspect they will be inundated with updates to apps, so it could take longer.
So if you’re planning to use the app within the next week or two, the best solution is to not upgrade to iOS5 yet. When you sync your phone (or iPod or iPad) to your computer, if it asks you whether you want to update, click Cancel or Later. If you’ve already upgraded to iOS5, unfortunately there doesn’t seem to be a safe and easy way to go back to iOS4, so you will have to wait for the update to be released.
Please accept my sincere apologies for any inconvenience this may cause!

Thanks for the heads up on the update. I was going to hook my Iphone to my computer tomorrow.
Thanks for the info on the conflict with iOs 5. Looking forward to the fix update.
Too late, I updated mine yesterday. I sure hope things are better for my trip at the end of October.
Thanks for letting us know. I was going to update, but will wait now since we are planning a trip for the first part of November.
Unfortunately we updated before seeing this warning. Fortunately, we just came back from Yosemite and were able to use the app. It’s an excellent app.
Looking forward to the ipad version.
Thank you
Jack, Al, Marianne – glad you got the message in time! I hope the update will be available soon.
Jeff, the update should be ready before the end of October, but I’m crossing my fingers…
Foosion, it’s great that you were able to use the app in Yosemite before the iOS upgrade, and I’m glad you found it helpful. iPad version is coming soon.
Ouch! I already did my update. 🙁 I do hope the update arrives before I leave for Yosemite! I may just have to resort to my book. Thanks for the warning anyway.
Good news…the update just came through!
Vivienne, yes, the update was approved this afternoon. Yay!
