iCloud va rezolva automat conflictele dintre fisiere

Conform lui John Gruber, Apple va implementa un nou sistem pentru rezolvarea conflictelor dintre fisierele din iCloud, sistem care va lua decizia din mainile utilizatorilor si o va transfera in seama serverelor celor de la Apple. Daca ati folosit MobileMe atunci probabil ati fost impinati de cateva ori de fereastra Conflict Resolver care va spunea ca exista un conflict in ceea ce priveste lista de contacte ori intrarile din aplicatia calendar. Atunci MobileMe va cerea sa alegeti fisierul care vi se parea voua a fi cel bun, insa in iCloud serverele vor alege singure fisierul fara probleme bazandu-se pe data la care a fost aesta incarcat pe server si informatiile conflictuale dintre fisiere.

In iCloud, I believe you will never be presented with [a sync conflict] dialog, no matter how much has changed in one of the instances while it was “offline”. The server-side iCloud, when there seemingly is a conflict, will make a decision and it will decide which one is the best (in Apple’s terms the “truth”). That is what Steve Jobs means when he says “The Truth is in the Cloud.” iTunes will decide which one is right and that’s it. iCloud will push that right one to any device that has this account that has a different version.

But, here’s the trick what happens if it’s not the right one? On the server side, it will remember all of the other ones, almost like versioning. There will be some sort of interface like “go and look at your contacts.” There will be some sort of way to say “show me previous versions and let me pick the one that is right”. You pick it and push it back up into the cloud and tell it “that’s the truth” and Apple will push it out.

Desigur ca un asemenea sistem s-ar putea dovedi a fi nu chiar atat de grozav pentru utilizatori care se vor trezi cu backup-uri ale contactelor care sunt fie prea vechi fie prea noi si nu contin ceea ce au nevoie. Pentru rezolvarea unei asemenea probleme Apple va da utilizatorilor posibilitatea de a accesa backup-uri vechi pentru terminalele proprii iar prin accesarea acestor backup-uri vom avea posibilitatea de a instala informatii vechi peste sau impreuna cu cele noi. Mai multe despre acest nou sistem vom afla in toamna cand va fi prezentat din nou si lansat oficial iCloud.
