Apple Releases iOS 7 With UI Redesign, iTunes Radio, New Notification Center, Multitasking Screen and More

[jrswizzle]

My iPad mini is still up to date.....

On iOS 6.1.3 via iTunes.....no wifi to attempt OTA. Guess I'll have to brave it this evening.

iTunes 11.1 update deleted most of my podcasts. Great!

i didn't have any delete but it never seems like the whole subscription syncing thing is working. I don't mean marking eps read etc but which ones I have subscribed.

I have good weed, this iOS still looks like it was made for Kindergardeners...

I think it looks like the Easter Bunny puked all over my phone.

Finally downloaded and installed (OTA / PST). Wow, this is uglier than I thought it would be.

so, i'm not missing much then..?


3rd times the charm... I may as well go and have another cup of coffee.

I'm not getting the update shown, I have the GM? It says I'm up to date

If you have the GM then you are up to date. 7.0.1 will only be sent to iPhone 5c & 5s handsets

disaster update

what a total farce of an update. What the hell happened to load balancing...?
If you don't have the resource to delivery an update....don't let it fecking start for a device.....CAC ...it's not like you can't afford the gear Apple....

#MASSIVEFAIL again

Anyone know anything about an Apple TV software update today???

Didn't AppleTV get a software update last week? I'm pretty sure it did.

It doesn't matter if you have the .ipsw file. You can only restore to firmware that Apple is currently signing. In a few hours, a few days max, Apple will stop signing iOS 6 and you won't be able to install it, even if you have the .ipsw file.

Absolutely, positively untrue. If you have the originally downloaded firmware you can restore to it on a device that supports it.

Was downloading on phone for 30 minutes, about halfway done, when it crapped out with an error. Started it up again and download started from beginning. Guess I'll find something else to do while you all fight for the bandwidths.

That's why i do it via iTunes. Yeah i have to wait an extra couple of hours for it to hit but if it slows down it doesn't crap out and make me start over (generally).

plus if it borks my devices an itunes restore is a lot faster than icloud on release day. so i do both, hit update and see what happens. I'll even restore my stuff just to clean the slate. why not. it's maybe 5 more minutes of waiting

Just got home and now waiting...

7 minutes until the download is complete....

 

[beachdude42]

Success!!!

After countless attempts, I have successfully upgraded I'm way too excited for this!

I guess your individual mileage may vary. Updated 2 iPhones and a slew of iPads here at the office and all went swimmingly.

Last Apple TV updates in June. No new update available to it as of now. They don't update Apple TV at the same time as iOS, so it may still come today later.

 

[MellowFuzz]

iTunes 11.1 update deleted most of my podcasts. Great!

That'll set the alarm bells ringing! I think I'll wait...

 

[peacenfunk]

Got 2 hours to go for my iPad.

about 10% the way to iOS7

 

[stefanie7055]

Mine finally downloaded and 'prepared' on my iP5, but during the verification process it says "Software Update Unavailable"

...anyone else run into this?

Absolutely, positively untrue. If you have the originally downloaded firmware you can restore to it on a device that supports it.

False. If you have a device which is eligible for iOS 7, Apple stops signing iOS 6. Go ahead, try it in a few days - let me know how it works. It's the same reason if you are on a 4S or 5 you couldn't install iOS 6.1.3 or earlier, only 6.1.4 as it was the most recent firmware.

Tell that to all the people that want to jailbreak their phones but they're on too new of an iOS version.

Agreed....it's so much better how Android balances the load by having most manufacturer's phones/tablets/etc. not easily upgradeable.

Current update progress in London, UK

After a couple of false starts, my current download status in London, UK is:

iPhone - 13 hours remaining
iPad - 17 hours remaining

Via iTunes - 43 hours remaining.

and to think I got to 6 minutes remaining before it crapped out earlier. I'm with Virgin Media on a 30 Mb DSL line.

No iOS7 for me today (this week) I think ;-(

Go outside. Get some air.

 

[rhett7660]

You're right, it IS tough to tell because your post didn't sound like sarcasm. Good to know you got it up....

LOL.... well that was with the help of a little blue pill.

It was in reference to a person who was using/commenting on the long time due to the fact they were using McDonald's public wifi.

 

[litletortilaboy]

class... update... class... update...

Should this really be that hard of a decision? haha

sooooooo SLO MOOOOOoooo

Well I remember reverting back to iOS 5 when iOS 6 first came out. I have an iPhone 4.
