While things should just work, or mostly just work after a bug fix or two, of late there appear to be serious defects that impact an unknown but possibly sizable number of customers that aren&#8217;t getting fixed. Before I go on, I have to tell you that I&#8217;m not having most of these problems, having run several Macs and iOS devices with the latest and greatest OS versions.<\/p>\n<p>So the issues I&#8217;ve encountered are usually far more subtle, and thus may not rise to the top of a fixer-upper spreadsheet or flow chart and thus may not get fixed anytime soon. So Apple Mail continues to lose the display of the number of messages in a folder. On occasion, Mail for iOS 8 will just quit, or will refuse to rotate when I turn my iPhone from landscape to portrait. For the first, quitting the app and relaunching works for a while, and the solution to the second is the equivalent, to force quit from the multitask menu. I&#8217;ve also encountered iCloud sync problems in recent days that Apple support is investigating.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, the other problems are far more serious for those who have confronted them. The two OS X Yosemite fixes released so far were supposed to repair Wi-Fi connection issues. To some they do. To others they don&#8217;t, and thus there are some online remedies posted that are supposed to repair the problem.<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Wait!
