Guys some help would be great...


So I'm currently in India and my internet is slow. So I decided to download the iOS 7 GM from a torrent thinking it'd be faster. It was and the download was fairly quick.

I then downloaded it and updated my phone, but on the "active your phone" page it didn't work. It said please connect to itunes or try again later. On connecting to itunes it says I needed to download itunes 11.1 so I did.

Finally, when I plug in my phone with 11.1, iTunes tries to connect to the store but fails. Any ideas on what to do :/.

Edit: Never mind, I restored the phone in DFU mode and the tried like twice and it finally worked. Hooray .

 

[Mr Swine]

Took me less than an hour to install it, really happy so far

Also can someone please confirm that gifs now run at full speed on iOS 7 compared to the previous iOS? Seen one run at full speed

after verifying update:

"Software Update Unavailable. Please try again later."

WTF?

I kept getting this. Just keep trying and it will eventually work. Worked after like 8 tries for me.

 

[cozo]

need new flat icons for some essential apps

I refuse to allow non-flat icons on my homescreen

 

[Croc]

Not sure if coincidence or not, but going through iTunes has my phone updating on one try, no errors.



It's a new algorithm. It's predicting the future and knows you don't want to delete those.

You're probably right. That iTunes email telling me about King's of Leon's new album is going to come in handy one day.

 

[peetfeet]

im going to try download directly off a mirror but unsure which to download. I have a UK iPad 3 with 3g (A1430) do i download the ATT or Verizon version? Thanks for any info.

Been trying to install for about 40 minutes now. Why won't you let me love you?

Also how are you guys getting iPad updates?

 

[SaintZ]

I downloaded it but wouldn't let me install until I restarted it.

It is installing now *.*

Excite!

 

[gettempapa]

It just finally worked for me after about 25 or 30 tries. If you are getting an error trying to download iTunes, you can just download it off of Apple's website.

Show your grandkids or something, I dunno...

 

[RedNumberFive]

Can't get iOS 7 on my iPod 4 since its, ya know, ancient 3 year old technology. Typical Apple. Its really annoying how the mobile industry has trained everyone to upgrade every two years. I'm not falling for that crap.

You know nothing of the pain of a first gen iPad owner. They abandoned that device the second the iPad 2 was released.

 

[Interfectum]

woot, installing! out of the verifying ghetto!

 

[naw]

"Software Update Unavailable. Please try again later."

WTF?

same

apple pls

 

[Not Spaceghost]

Yep same here! Here we gooooo

 

[140.85]

OMG it finally went through.

 

[Teppic]

Worked for me now.

 

[Grimm Fandango]

Yeah me too. Yay.

 

[Mr.Fresh]

Went to sleep with iOS 6 woke up with iOS 7

 

[PodcastFips]

I have to believe this will be fixed. Everything I'm trying is over-zooming and just looks shitty.

This is because of the 3D effect they added to the homescreen. They need something to scroll in the background so they zoom in your photos.

 

[Majine]

Went to sleep with iOS 6 woke up with iOS 7

It's not cool to cheat on your OS, dude.

 

[Buckethead]

Takes too long to wake from sleep, getting in-and-out of apps is more slow and clunky.

Seems like an obvious forced upgrade tactic.

Either that or they got overzealous on the effects and someone is stupid for not catching this in focus testing.

 

[SephCast]

Wait, how do I get my weather to show up in my notification center? I checked that tray all the time. Do I have to open up my app every time in iOS?

 

[.GqueB.]

what the hell does flatness mean?

Minimal.

 

[Myoclonic Jerk]

That's what mine was doing, but after the 3rd or 4th time it rebooted and started installing.

Same with me.. but maybe 12 times in a row until it restarted..

Just keep trying guys

Can't wait. if I like ios 7 I might switch from android to iphone..

updating my ipad 2 now

 

[985boi]

Still trying to install on my ipad but yet it's installing on my iphone on the first try.

edit: Finally!

The animations are the same speed no matter the device. Weird interpretation.

 

[isny]

Downloads to about 90% and then crashes, ugh, can't even finish the download letalone install the thing.

 

[Liha]

I use iOS 7 since 2 hours and it`s fantastic.

 

[Shearie]

iOS 7 is completely awesome on my 4S. Too bad I can't update my Mini

 

[Buckethead]

The animations are too long, then.

Takes too long to wake the display now.

 

[Reluctant-Hero]

Any iOS 7 impressions for the iPad mini?

 

[markhimself46]

Loving it so far. Not sure if this has been asked/answered yet, but can you no longer delete albums? I noticed you can delete songs by swiping to the left but you can't do it with artists. Am I missing it?

 

[LCfiner]

Any iOS 7 impressions for the iPad mini?

runs very well.

only issues of some slight slowness that I see now

opening up the bookmark bar folders - the floating animation is kinda slow.

choosing wallpapers has a couple second delay.

haven’t noticed any other speed issue with other built in apple apps.

 

[dark_chris]

I'm trying to update from the beta to the final. I tried on iTunes but said I don't have permission to do that. The hecks... Should I downgrade from beta to 6.1.4 then try again? I'm thinking that...

 

[BlueWord]

Restart your 5 or maybe do a restore, because that would be odd. It runs very smoothly on a 5.

What do you mean with "slow"? Until beta 6 it was running perfectly fine. Did they mess up something?

There was a 5-10 second delay between any keyboard input, including lockscreen, and it being recognized. I did a reset on all settings and that appears to have fixed the problem. But it was very noticeable, and there was no problem prior to updating.

Awesome, thank you!

no need. here’s what I had to do. manually download the ipsw file for your device, then hold option/alt on keyboard when hitting RESTORE (not update, when on beta) then restore to iOS 7 and use your latest backup to get back in business.

 

[breakfuss]

I keep trying to update (already downloaded OTA), but it spends minutes 'verifying' only to shoot back the following:

"Software Update is not available at this time. Try again later."

 

[CyReN]

how do i get the calendar list view back? (left picture)

 

[wrowa]

Is it not possible to update the GM ota?

See that magnifying glass at the top right area? click it.

The OTA is the GM. :O

 

[Synless]

I was in the beta, why doesn't the final update show up for me?

 

[RaySpencer]

I like plain colors for the home screen. Running pretty good on my 4S.

Nice, you almost hid the bottom bar.

Need a way to blend it in just a bit better.

 

[Enzom21]

Is it not possible to update the GM ota?

Not OTA.
You can download them directly here. http://www.redmondpie.com/download-...hone-5-4s-4-ipad-and-ipod-touch-direct-links/

 

[Wozzly]

Has anyone gotten a message upon installing at the "Hello" screen that says something about a server not being trusted? I'm on verizon and it said something like myvz.com

 

[number11]

Did they remove the album grid view in the iPad music app?

Also, for some reason all my album tracks are in a random order,

Awesome, thank you so much.

 

[badb0y]

Posting from iOS7.

This new minimalist design is awesome.

 

[bmdubya]

If you are having problems updating over the air, plug in your device to a computer and update through that. Spent an hour trying to update on my phone, only to get "Software Update is not available" or something. Plugged it into a computer, and it is installing now.

 

[Shearie]

My iPad Mini finally decided to update. YAAAAAYY
