Into Starting last June, were anticipated to developers and then to the general public what are the main new features of iOS 7. Surely the graphics, with a new style redesigned by designer Jony Ive is Apple’s strong point more flashy. Considered the most modern and essential to remember, however, some very few variations of Android. However, the effect for those who have downloaded the developer preview in recent weeks and could see the work of iOS 7 is to have completely revamped the look and feel of their “old” iApparecchio. Until now, iOS 7 appears to be more streamlined and graphically colorful, has new effects (like 3D Home screen), the new Control Centre, new filters for the camera, the function AirDrop which allows you to switch between mobile documents of any kind with iOS 7 in a manner not dissimilar from what is already the case with the Samsung Galaxy S, although using a different technology (Bluetooth and Wifi inst ead NFC).

Into The upgrade is a procedure that usually is not a problem, being careful to follow a couple of rules that we explain below, and saw that the operating system is also free as an upgrade, it is worthwhile in any case use . For those who think that you are uncomfortable with the new graphics, using for the first time after six years a “style” and “metaphors” very different, it is worth maybe wait a couple of days, see the iPhone or the ‘ iPad and figure out if a friend does for us.

Into Giving for sure that Apple does not install the operating system on non-compatible equipment here is what to do before installation in four points.

Into 1) “Lighten” the iApparecchio: Every occasion is good to throw away the apps you never use and that only steal memory. Also taking into account that you need at least a few Giga free to proceed to download and install iOS 7.
2) Update all apps: you should always do this, now as never before. It is necessary because many app in older versions may not be fully compatible with iOS 7. If you are using a lot for business or personal an old app never updated by the developer (there are app fully functional but “abandoned”), check on the Internet that turns out to be compatible with iOS 7 googling “7 + iOS app name” .
3) Make backups. Should always be done, especially now it is appropriate even though it may take a long time. Apple allows for two types of backup, both free of charge: a fast one thanks to iTunes (when the iApp is connected to your Mac or PC) and another wirelessly with iCloud. You can configure the second throug h the choice within the iCloud in the iOS settings. Apple offers 5 gigabytes free for backup, and you can choose which app allow you to make backups of your data. Five Giga are sufficient because they do not include the same app, which instead are always available for download again from the app store, but only the data that we have created within them. We must remember that a backup “works” only when it has been tested. And the downside of making backups on iCloud, which is also a good example for when you are traveling or do not connect the iApparecchio to the computer for a long time, is that remounting time are biblical. This can take 12-18 hours, depending on the connection, to charge 5 GB of data on an iPhone.
4) Update iTunes on a Mac or PC. One of the most common mistakes is to leave those spear to upgrade the operating system dell’iApparecchio forgetting to use the latest version of the software for personal computers from Apple.

Into Fin ally, we are updating real iOS. As of this evening, there will be some tens of millions of people around the world who will try to upgrade at the same time. It is conceivable for this reason that there will be delays and ultimately a lengthy post-maybe better to make the procedure for 24 hours and in the meantime make sure that everything else is in place (see above).

Into The procedures to install iOS 7, as well as the previous version, there are two: the first one passes from iTunes: connects to the Internet, you download the update to your Mac or PC using iTunes and from there it goes to the installation on ‘iApparecchio. Since it is connected via a cable, there is no risk that is drained, rather you must ensure that your computer if laptop is connected to the electric current.

Into The other procedure instead is “wireless” and goes from Software Update in the voice of the General Settings app in iOS. Here you have to be sure that the iApparecchi o is charged, connected to the electrical outlet (because the procedure could be long) and is connected to a WiFi network, otherwise the update is not possible.

Into Changing the operating system of a computer, however small and “domestic” like an iPhone or an iPad, a safe operation but not simple. Having a backup is a good starting point, but then you must also be sure to have the time available because everything is terminated without an interruption or the Internet or power or battery. For this reason it is advisable to do it at home or in the office rather than in a bar or on the train, calculating that are required from two to four hours at the speed of the Internet and network congestion are two of the key factors for the duration of the operation.

Into If all you ever lock for some reason and the update “stuck,” not to panic but follow a very simple system. First of all figure out what went wrong (connection? Battery?) And get in a position to repeat the process so that this time everything works. Restart the iApparecchio maybe in forced mode and choose whether to restore the last backup or groped a new update.
