    No way to bypass it, but there are people schilling out their UDID slots to any Tom, Dick, or Harry with about five bucks each. Which is nonsense, by the way.

    $5?????



    It isnt worth the time to key in the UDID, and barely worth the time to cut and paste for that price, nad the risk involved if found out by apple? forget about it!

    I believe the very same thing. But thousands of people are doing it (and have done it for years) and Apple doesn't seem to care less. So it continues.

    If I remember correctly case sensitivity is a unix thing. As in Windows does not care about case when you type in commands, but unix would. However I think OSX also is not case sensitive, so I am not sure if it has anything to do with the windows issue.



    Edit: I guess thats not very helpful.

    You can format your Mac drives as case-sensitive so iCloud being this way means that you won't get any conflicts syncing from case-sensitive drives. The default case-insensitive drives will also be fine with this. The only issue that might arise is if you sync from a case-sentitive Mac to a case-insensitive iOS device with e.g music tracks that have the same name but different capitalisation.



    I don't like case-sensitivity because it means having to remember the exact URL of files online. The whole world just needs to decide unanimously to stop using it.

    Being that Apple platforms for the last 10 years have been all UNIX based, isn't it fair to assume that all files would be case sensitive as all *NIX platform file systems are?



    if this is in fact in the documentation, it wouldn't be news to any pro devs who know UNIX...
