With all due respect and painfully aware of my shortcomings, I ask you to look carefully at Post number #41619 - Yesterday at 09:56 PM

I carefully separated the Macintosh OS issues from the iPhone issues until the very end when I unfortunately stated both my "iPod" 4S and Mac Pro 3,1 had problems with upgrades. That last statement was done in haste as you can tell by my typing iPod instead of iPhone. Earlier in that same post, I showed separate problems for each machine and stated the location in the MacRumors article for each separate problem.

Moreover, I also cannot ignore the fact that my iPhone must "plug" into the Macintosh to accomplish the software updates, backups, and sync with the iPhone. For these reasons, I tend to see the iPhone as a functional appendage to the Macintosh and not as a completely separate and independent device. I hope that this reply is more correct than the previous ones.
