US tech stocks have enjoyed a strong rally on Wall Street in advance of earnings reports from some of the biggest names in the business.
Just a day after share values endured a global shock over tightening coronavirus restrictions, investors eagerly awaited updates on the progress made by the big earners of 2020 - Facebook, Amazon and Apple, to name a few.
Alongside growing reports of high battery drain, Apple customer support has confirmed to users that iPadOS can cause boot loops on the iPad Pro and media playback of the hugely popular MP4/MPEG-4. QuickTime has the ability to play back MPEG-2 content via the QuickTime MPEG-2 Playback Component. It is available as an add-on to QuickTime 6 or QuickTime 7. Learn more about MPEG-2. Once you have ordered the MPEG-2 Playback Component through the Apple Online Store, the component can be accessed via your account.
They have enjoyed share surges of 36%, 74% and 58% respectively in the year to date, while many traditional stocks have struggled to even tread water given the COVID carnage. The FTSE 100 index in London, by reason of comparison, has lost a quarter of its value.
Facebook and Apple saw leaps of 5% in Thursday deals, with Amazon close behind, in anticipation of further news to celebrate as the digital economy dodges lockdown.

Below is a summary of what companies announced after the markets had closed:

Amazon
The online retailer-to-streaming operator was first out of the blocks - with third quarter revenues rising to $96.1bn from $70bn in the same period a year earlier.
More from Business
It credited pandemic demand for household essentials and said it was already seeing evidence of early buying for Christmas gifts following its Prime Day sale earlier this month.
Shares rose more than 1% in after-hours dealing.
Money pro: personal finance 2 2 3. Facebook
Its shares extended their gains when it revealed that businesses using its digital advertising tools had accounted for a surge in sales during its own third quarter.
Revenue rose to $21.5bn from $17.7bn despite a limited ad boycott in July as part of a protest against hate speech on its platforms.
Facebook's monthly active user number of 2.74 billion also beat analysts' estimates.
Twitter
Twitter stock had advanced by 8% ahead of its own results.
However, the shares headed south, by up to 11%, when its user growth fell short of analysts' expectations - rising by just one million on the previous three months to 187 million so-called 'monetizable daily active users'.
It also warned that the outlook for advertising trends - up sharply in advance of the US election - was unclear.
Alphabet
Google's parent firm reported a return to advertising sales growth between July and September as the US economy got back into gear in the period.
Google, the biggest supplier of online ads partly thanks to its YouTube video service, accounted for 80% of its $46.2bn of revenue - up 6%.
That helped shares advance a further 7% in extended trading.
All was not quite so rosy at Apple.
Its shares fell 5% after it reported a slowdown in its key premium iPhone sales with revenue of $26.4bn recorded in the period, its first quarter, compared to $33.6bn in the same period last year.
That was partly explained by the new iPhone 12, which is 5G enabled, coming to market later than its new products normally would.
Apple said lockdown-popular Airpods and Macs helped total revenue climb to $64.7bn while services revenue, which includes Apple TV and App Store sales, was 16% up.
Apple users recently report a seemingly 'bug' in the iOS 14.2 Beta version that occasionally pops-up several notifications about a new software update that moves away from the beta-testing release of the operating system. Users are getting confused over Apple's pop-up bugs for the iOS 14 that only has the 'close' option and no software files along with it.
The most valuable multinational technology company, Apple, is currently on its iOS 14.2 beta version of the popular iPhone operating system which has yet released the final build version of the software. The tech company released the iOS 14 last September 16, a month ahead of the iPhone 12's release.
Apple's iOS 14 promises the best integration for iPhones, along with the most awaited features, including the Picture-in-Picture (PiP), customizable widgets, App Library, etc.

Apple's iOS 14 Beta: Error Notification Pop-Up Complaints Flood Twitter
Apple's iPhone users and iOS 14.2 beta version now receive pop-ups from the system about a new update for the current version that is in beta-testing mode. Macbook to android tv. The pop-up only has a 'close' button on its option and does not redirect to the 'Software Update' in the phone's Settings.
The 'False Update' notification says that there is a new iOS update in the settings to replace the current beta version of the iPhone. Apple iPhone users suspect that 'bugs' are flooding the company's systems, triggering the false update notifications rolled out by the iOS.
Bruh a notification keeps popping up telling me to update from the iOS 14 beta. I deleted the profile off my phone, factory reset my phone, and it’s STILL popping up. what do I do? Anybody pic.twitter.com/s1r8EiYPaR— Fern Mayo (@januarys_ownnn) October 30, 2020
Twitter users are reporting that upon closing the pop-up and heading to the dedicated setting, there are no software files to download.
