Here’s how I got Apps to load when stuck after transferring to a new iPhone, and certainly I felt much more peaceful after getting everything installed and working perfectly again.

Apple has a wonderfully simple method for moving data to a new phone with Bluetooth just by pointing the new phone’s camera at the old phone and capturing a cluster of dots displayed. Everything then appears exactly as on the old phone. In my case the system software had to update first, then all files transferred.

My problem was that for well over an hour all my Apps displayed text saying “loading…” beneath, with a pie shaped progress image superimposed that never moved or advanced. Tapping over the App icon only caused the loading process to “pause.”

For an iPhone 12 running iOS 14.3, the following step solved it. Press and hold an App that is “loading,” and select the choice to “prioritize” downloading. On the first try, I held too long and every icon began moving, so I repeated the “press and hold” a bit more quickly to select “prioritize this App.” After this everything began to pop into position fully installed, one App at a time. Interestingly, the App I “prioritized” was not the first to install, but one by one, starting from the top of that screen the full App icon popped into view. The I went to the next screen to the right, and they began to load properly, and so on until all were complete in a matter of perhaps five to seven minutes.

Just prior, I had gone to the App Store and downloaded a random App of possible interest, just to be certain I was properly logged in and the downloading process was working. I had also logged out and re-entered my password in “Settings” just to be sure.

If you are experiencing this problems, hope this works for you as well.

One of the fundamental distinctions, is the difference between outer and inner knowing.

This is the difference between knowing and perceiving.

Childlike joy and optimism looks without the static of past experience, undimmed by disappointment.

This is an attitude of Mind, not a collection of years.

Even if you did not experience the fresh seeing of childhood as a child, the experience is open to you now.

Light is a fundamental basis for our world of sense.

The electromagnetic spectrum is comprised of visible and invisible light.

Living in the world of appearance, virtually everything is perceived at the speed of light.

But it is a representational reality.

Beneath and beyond it all, is the Truth of Being, known directly.

I wonder if this is why video games hold such appeal as participants transcend themselves in becoming immersed. Like Star Wars’ first film where Luke Skywalker in attacking the Death Star had to push aside electronic targeting assistance and perceive directly to overcome blindingly fast opposition.

If you’re a musician you can find an analogy in the difference between practicing technique and playing for sound and perfection of the piece.

In business, setting aside preconceptions of thought, and moving directly into the moment, being whole and present expands your possibilities exponentially and transforms the mundane into an experience of joy.

The intent of this entry was to share a magnificent realization that unfolded this morning, not to promote my book. Still, the Inner Peace book is a compilation of the practices that lead to these insights, so feel free to investigate further there.

Infinite life is more than an abstraction.

Find out for yourself.

The word of another may be mistaken, incomplete or misquoted.

When you learn direct perception, spiritual understanding, in silence and Truth within your own being, you discover how to discern and rightly divide truth from fiction or interpretation.
