Can i upgrade using itunes or can i only restore from itunes and then restore backup from the cloud?
Click to expand...

You can only upgrade using iTunes if you want to do so before it's released next week. You don't have to do a restore. Just to a backup, then upgrade. All your stuff will still be there. After that I just set it back to backup to iCloud. It was easy peasy.

Just sold my phone with a beta build on it, does anyone know if you can go from beta to retail OTA? I know beta to GM doesn't work OTA.

If it works the way it did in the past GM will get updated OTA, just like if you had installed iOS7 OTA next week.
 
So I installed, I'm on windows so no sync for me. However, the last backup that my phone offered to restore from was from June of this year. What the fuck? I did a back up earlier today!

Not that GM installation isn't exciting, but what do people think about the possibiliy/inevitability of the iPad/ipad mini having 64-bit architecture and the fingerprint sensor in the next iteration?

Lol, and what about a GOLD ipad?



Also, do we know how the free iwork/ilife apps are delivered and monitored? Obviously it doesn't go by Apple ID...would it be like the way it works on Macs?

And does it count ALL new iOs devices from this point forward? like if you buy an old stock iPhone 4 or 5?

so according to the website:

"iPhoto, iMovie, Keynote, Pages and Numbers are free on the App Store for qualifying iOS 7–compatible devices activated after 1 September 2013. "
 
iPad mini is in it! (iphone 5 ipsw is taking too long to dl).

AMAZING wallpapers up in this bitch! I can barely pick one. Apple should introduce some dynamic wallpaper options. It wouldn't kill the battery to have a wallpaper changed every 24 hours and would do wonders for a system where you live in the wallpaper.
 
So uhh... anyone with a cdma ipad mini find the right file yet?

An iPad with touch ID would be great. I think I would pressure the company to get one for the filemaker kiosk I'm planning, assuming the thing will ever be open to 3rd parties.

I really didn't understand that part very well and also don't understand the implications of your fingerprint being stored in the A7.

However, I'm pretty much assuming that all A7+ devices will get touch ID. So, iPad 5 for sure. iPad mini, probably not.
 
If anyone has the cdma ipad mini file and would like to do a direct transfer I will draw some fanart for you.

IT may also be a decent gateway for introducing multiple users on an iPad, or at the very least, a kids mode so only parents can mess with certain settings. ie make fingerprint part of the restrictions settings.
 
I downloaded the mini gold master off geeksays but it's the dmg file, how do I get iTunes to read it? Do I just rename the file to ipsw?

I downloaded the GM for my iPhone 5 elsewhere but that was an ipsw file, that one went smoothly.

edit: Found a dmg extractor, n/m.

Double click.

And damnit, I accidently downloaded the ipad 2 one

double click the dmg. that should mount a new volume then you drag the ipsw from inside the new volume to your desktop or wherever.

if you’re on windows, then I think you might need some third party app to mount dmg files.
 
Is there anyway to re-enable showing Weather info from the Notification Center? I used that feature constantly and now I can't figure out how to show it again...

edit: by this I mean the 5-day preview...looks like you can only get the current info and then have to tap that to go to the full fledged 5-day preview :/
 
I'm getting old and can't comprehend all this...

Will the developer GM expire like the beta?
And if I install the iOS 7 GM, when it's updated to say iOS 7.0.1, will I be able to just do that OTA?

No GM does not expire, it will be the exact same build as public release. You'll be able to update OTA to 7.0.1 and beyond.

My guess is a simulataneous release with haswell MBPs in october but they will have missed the September back to school market. My purchase is hanging in the balance since I'm back to college in a week. I may have to just go and buy a windows laptop.

Hmm that's strange. I thought for sure they would unless something had to be delayed. Or maybe the event in October for iPad with also be for new MacBooks and OSX.
 
I'm going to pop this on my Mini, been wanting to mess with iOS 7 for a while (I'll lose my jailbreak, but it's not worth it on my iPad anyways).

That's what the current predictions are. Octoberevent will be Mavericks/Mac refreshes/iPad refreshes. Going to be quite a busy event it seems it that's truly the case.
 
I was going to exchange my 5 this week (sleep button wonky; I've dropped it a few times but have AppleCare+), currently installing the GM. Kinda wanna take the 5 in with the GM on it and see what the reaction is.

I also just wanna say again for thread jumpers that yes, shift+update on windows opens the file dialog to navigate to the ipsw version and it's doing it it's doing it omg it's doing it
 
Verizon is CDMA

Just waitin'

I did that back around Beta 2. They don't care, since they don't know if you're a dev or not. Only thing is if you get your phone swapped out, your iCloud backup from iOS7 won't work on iOS6, so they'll tell you that you just have to restore it from an iOS6 backup on your computer.

Dang. I walked in last week to try it. The wait was like an hour and I forgot I actually had backed up everything to iCloud (for some reason thought I didn't), so I didn't wanna do anything without having a local backup.
 
I wonder, keeping future jailbreaks in mind, would tomorrow be a good day to buy a iPhone 5? I don't like the plastic style of the 5C and the 5S will be too expensive for my liking so I thought of getting a i5 while I still can especially since I need jailbreaks to enjoy iPhones... I know with 6.1.3 and 6.1.4 it isn't jailbreakable but seeing the hardware changes in the 5C and 5S the normal 5 should pretty surely get a new jailbreak right? :(
 
Is the event video really not out yet? It typically was by this time after previous events.
