Those of you with limited on-device storage space: do the update via iTunes

Awesome. Thank you. Didn't know this tip.

 

[Noema]

What? No swiping on iPad with swiftley? Have they said why not? If it is down to the size of the keyboard then give me the option of an iPhone sized keyboard, I don't mind as long as I can type faster

From Anandtech

Unfortunately, I was unable to test Flow as the iPad version of the keyboard does not have it. This is due to memory limitations imposed on extensions. The functionality and visual effects for SwiftKey Flow when run on an iPad exceeds this amount of RAM which is why only the version for iPhone and iPod Touch includes it. Flow is most useful in a one handed situation on a phone so I'm not heartbroken by its omission in the iPad version. That being said, I am still hopeful that SwiftKey will be able to do further optimization to eventually bring Flow to iPad.

Facebook update just don't want to be downloaded apparently.

Not just you. Well, it downloads, but won't install. Maybe mis-signed.

 

[-Horizon-]

Installing finally! xD

 

[-griffy-]

Just tried doing the update via iTunes, got an error and it bricked my iPhone 5

Doing factory restore right now.

 

[Megasoum]

wtf I need 4.7gb free to install the update? I'm on a 16gb phone... That's more than 1/3 of the phone... I will basically have to delete all my music tonight just to install the update.

Yea I pretty much had to do that but it turns out my messages was taking up more storage space than my music apparently. I'm about 70% in. It's still in the preparing to update phase.

 

[Branson]

Oh shit I didn't know iOS 8 is out.

 

[mooooose]

So should I bother updating on my first gen mini or will the performance suck?

Apparently you can just update via iTunes to bypass that.

 

[kingdaddy157]

Yea but some people have received errors and have had to restore to factory settings. I just deleted a lot of pointless things I didn't really need. The music I can always put it back because I have it organized on iTunes anyway.

 

[Phoenician_Viking]

It´s giving me error when i try to download it. I live in Denmark the update is there. It is not downloading.

 

[Corgi]

still only see ios 7.1 in my itunes update.

 

[-Horizon-]

Welp, looks like I'll be stuck at the apple install bar screen for a while.

I'd encourage everyone to give Spotlight some love. On my 5s it's stopped hitching completely. I now throw all but my most used apps into a general folder and just start them through spotlight.

 

[Jayayess1190]

Installed Swype. It stutters a little bit when pulling up the keyboard to type in Safari's omnibox but not when typing out this post.

 

[Goldenhen]

Have you update your iTunes to 11.4?

 

[Duane Cunningham]

There's no chance that Reminders got any kind of update, is there? I use it, but it's always been pretty buggy, especially when you go to share it.

 

[iFootball]

Just finished installing through iTunes, no issues to report on my 5s... now I'm updating my apps.

 

[Chuckpebble]

Were you watching that vine?

No, coworker had that on in the next office. I wonder if a vine is long enough to work? Is this a vine I need to see?

Sounds like swype alright.

7 hours remaining for this thing to download. The fuck?

[noomi]

so.... is there a way to get rid of recent contacts in multi-tasking? I don't want it on my ipad....

 

[victreeb3l]

Any way to cancel OTA update? On iTunes it says 6 minutes left to download. But its been on "preparing update" for like an hour now OTA.

 

[CyReN]

Is Swype available yet? Just finished downloading.

 

[Sigil]

Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars. Check the Contacts section for "Show in App Switcher."

 

[Tunesmith]

Yes, in mail/contact's settings, "in app switcher".

For everyone that gets the updating app loop, I was able to "solve" it by deleting the app and downloading it again. Not an optimal solution obviously but it worked.
Happened for me on 1pass, Facebook and Find my iPhone.

 

[brianmcdoogle]

1Password works in Safari, but it won't unlock with TouchID. I'm having to enter my password. Anyone else on this? TouchID is enabled to unlock in the app.

You have to increase the time under master password. I just put mine to 30 days.

 

[SuperPac]

Whoa Swype is just weird. Neat though! Been so used to the standard iPhone keyboard that typing this is throwing me off

 

[ComputerMKII]

I've downloaded the OTA update to my iPad Air and it's been stuck on "Preparing update" for like half an hour. What's wrong?

What's the itunes link to swype

Took me a long while at that part too. I'm now at the part where its just the black screen with the apple logo and the install bar.

Installing now on the 4S that I use as an iPod. Hope it doesn't hurt general performance even more than the iOS 7 did.

 

[KingKong]

uh so I just downloaded it, prepared to install, did the install and when it restarted it was still on 7 and it's making me download it again? I guess it didnt take

 

[ComputerMKII]

Yeah, me too, actually. It changed a couple minutes ago.

 

[metsallica]

Hadn't seen it confirmed here, but for those curious: it's the same build as GM. So anyone who ran with that when it released like I did is good to go when the next update comes out.

Sigil & Tunesmith,

Thanks guys, worked perfect.

I know Apple said it is safe, but I still feel uncomfortable installing a 3rd party keyboard when entering passwords and the like.

 

[CreepingFear]

Waiting for someone in here that has an iPad 3 to tell me if iOS 8 performs better, worse, or the same as iOS7. I'll only download it if it's the same or better performance wise.

 

[Guess Who]

I know Apple said it is safe, but I still feel uncomfortable installing a 3rd party keyboard when entering passwords and the like.

Good news: third party keyboards get disabled in "secure" forms.

Also, I'm Swyping as we speak.

Is there a way to turn off Next Word Prediction for Swype? I already have it off on default keyboard.

Is Swiftkey on the app store yet?
