iOS 7 GM/Public Release

Plastik

Installed and seems to be working fine on my 4S. The only problem I have at the moment is that iMessage and FaceTime are not activated - have been awaiting activation for a while now. Has this been an issue for anybody? I'm with 3 ..

My wife only has a 8gb phone and there is not enough space to download the latest update. If I back it up to iCloud and then erase all the data from the phone. Then restore the iPhone from iCloud would it be updated with the latest iOS???

No. That will restore the phone I believe to the last snapshot os and all. I could be wrong on that though as I've only ever used it to migrate to a new phone which was on the same os version.

You can update it through iTunes no matter how much free space is on the phone.

I don't know about what you plan. In theory it should work but an iCloud backup isn't as comprehensive as a full backup onto a computer.

Ipad 3 is crawling after install......I've rebooted and even reset but even the keyboard has a delay on typing

Updated iPhone 4S without a hassle yesterday evening. I was getting to know the new OS by 7.30pm. My iPad was much slower even though I started them both at 6pm!! Went to bed with an hour remaining and just left it. All done this morning with everything in place without any fuss.

I like the new gimmick in iMessages where if you scroll up and down very quickly in a message thread, the texts wobble!!

The other cool thing is the new spirit level in the compass app. Went around the house checking various flat surfaces last night!!:o

Handy to get the degrees of a tree in front of you for a golf shot....

Running 32gb iPhone 4S and all is looking good so far.
Like the look of it for the most part and no bugs that I've come across yet.

Auto-updated probably

Nah, had already switched that option off. Eventually they popped up again, istore must have done another sweep for updates.

General first impressions, I like the look, but is it eating up my battery? Whatsapp developers are a bit slack too, not having an ios7 version ready.

mad muffin

Where is the option or auto update?

Under iTunes and appstores

I'm on the beta and no update has been offered - Anyone who was on the beta get offered the public release?

I have a scabby 8 gig 4 and I deleted everything except pictures and music and still not enough room for it so I may leave it now and not bother. Can't figure out a way around it because I really don't want to lose my music or photos


@plastik same thing happened my sister but hers did eventually activate

another question

Anyone know if there's anyway to change the lime green sender texts?

FIRST PROBLEM

The charger i have been using for the last year in work, will now not charge the phone :mad:

EDIT

It does actually work, but its picking it up as a non Apple product and thus given you the warning, but it is in fact charging the phone.

Apple have had to stamp down on third party lightning adapters for security reasons - they were installing trojans and electrocuting people.

No, as that's the old green for non-iMessage & blue for iMessage.

The only thing you can do is press the home button 3 times & invert the colours, but that just results in a black backround & the green becomes purple (which is worse) & the blue becomes orange plus inverting the colours changes the colours & backround everywhere else

Yes.

Firstly update iTunes to 11.1.

Connect your phone and you should be able to update.

Sync your phone to ensure it has latest details as backup.

Doesn't this involve restoring though? So it's not really an update.

Does anyone know with the new FaceTime Audio only feature does the person you are calling have to have iOS7 also or will the call go through to their older iOS FaceTime without video?

They will more than likely need iOS7 too

They must have iOS 7.

Updated my iPhone 5 without a problem. I'm a little wary of updating the iPad 3. Airdrop won't work with it. Apple really p!ssed me off as an iPad owner in recent months.

Also having an issue with my old hotmail account. The mail app is saying that there's a few thousand unread emails every few mins even though they're all marked as read.
I go into it unread them and then mark them as read and it's grand for awhile until the next push says they're unread again. Very annoying lol

It seems you're not alone:

''In addition to the issues surrounding iOS 7 installation and app updates, some users are also reporting issues with Apple's activation servers. It's unclear how widespread this is.''

What's the story with weather in notifications? I don't see an option to include it on my wife's iPhone 4 and I don't see an option to remove it from my iPad 3.

This must be the buggies OS install to date.

I've been using this since July, updated my iPad 2 to the public release version this morning and I have to say I thought a lot of little niggles (calendar displays being one of them) were bugs that would be ironed out. Disappointed to see that they weren't. Having played with this on both tablet and phone versions of iOS, I have to say I'm glad I don't use an Apple phone as my daily driver...

banquo

There seem to be a good few issues going around! The update was a well advertised, worldwide release. Might have been smarter for them to stagger it by time zone....

Well when I updated, it treated my phone as a new phone and I had to do a restore.

Liam90

All my apps are gone except viber, how do i get them back?

mad muffin

I see there is still no option to set the first day of the week from Sunday to Monday.

And why can't I sign in to iTunes/App store?!

Also why doesn't notifications give me the actual temperature?

Just showers conditions with 35kph winds from the south west..,

banquo

Restore from iTunes.

Or, go to the App Store and go to the 'Cloud' tab where you can download them again

Anyone having a problem downloading apps? This comes up for me after I click download but won't let me press ok. I essentially can't go any further.

Sad Professor

The App Store has been acting up since yesterday. It's not an iOS 7 problem. Try quitting the app and trying again.

Very nice!

Is that new for iOS 7 or has it always been there?
