IOS 8

[daydotz]

Is anyone playing with the iOS 8 beta on the iPad does anyone know if they fixed the bug where you can't view App Store reviews of app updates like you can on the iPhone

Just installed the GM Version on my Air and 4s, doesn't seem vastly different tbh, interested to try out new keyboards when they're available though!

Is it going to make my 1st gen iPad mini even slower, like 7.0 did?

 

[Millsy]

Don't think it's compatible with the 1st gen iPad.

out tomorrow, can't decide whether to update or wait until friday and experience the new os with the new hardware.

LOL @ needing 4.6GB free space to over the air update. On a 16GB phone with 13GB useable space, that's never happening.

 

[Gouldy]

What's the difference between CDMA and GSM?

Edit; doesn't matter. Google'd it

 

[Gavin.]

CDMA is American we need the GSM ones

 

[Gouldy]

The links posted don't work for me. Says server can't be found

 

[Gavin.]

I just tried 5, 5c and 5s and all downloads started.

 

[Gouldy]

It gets worse. When I plug my phone into my Mac and check for software updates, it doesn't even say that IOS 8 is available.

 

[McGherkin]

Oh look, iPhone 4 is arbitrarily not supported.

 

[dk]

Can't update as I need 4.6gb free on my iPhone, I have a 64 gb but it's only got 2 gb free, the download is only 1gb so I'm not sure why I need 4.6 gb.

anyway. Looks like I'll be waiting until the 6 on Friday now.

 

[Lou]

Currently got it downloading on my work 5C to see what it's like!

 

[CrippsCorner]

I'm saving it for the iPhone 6 for sure!

 

[N0ddie]

Not even gonna try and download it for the iPads tonight.

 

[dk]

I'm saving it for the iPhone 6 for sure!

I thought about that, but then I'm updating the iPad anyway, so it really doesn't matter.

The only thing stopping me is the lack of space now.

 

[Ranter22]

Worked fine ota on my 5, took about 45 mins.

<3 Apple.

 

[Gareth]

Trying for my iPad Air, but its saying atleast an hour to download (on an 110MB connection).

 

[dk]

My iPad just says update requested.

Guess its in a queue?

Why do i need 4.7gb ish of memory for the update to my 5c? Get bent

 

[Jaff.]

downloaded in less than 10 mins. currently installing onto my 5C

hasnt taken long at all to be fair

I believe it's to handle all the file changes the update needs and it's needs the swap space to do it as everything is being done over the phone. It will also be protecting itself against a failure so it can roll back if necessary. When doing it on a computer and iTunes it can do a lot of that processing using the computer and the backup is there, so it doesn't need the same space requirements.

So if you don't have enough space, just connect it to iTunes and it'll be fine.

 

[jam.]

Mines nearly done...whoop de doo.

I'm definitely getting a larger hd iPhone when I eventually upgrade - gets a bit tedious deleting stuff just to update it.

 

[Gouldy]

Finally got it sorted and installed. I'm loving it so far. Especially the new keyboard thingy

 

[N0ddie]

How does one install the update once its downloaded onto our iMac?

Usually download it through iTunes however doing it through the link on the first page makes it a Safari download.

 

[Gareth]

Took 30 mins in the end.

It's an absolute farce. They went to OTA so people didn't require a computer to update. Now this?

Okay thanks. I've deleted some stuff and downloading the update through itunes right now. Froze on 37minutes remaining though!

I need to get my head around photo syncing, I've majorly c**ked up because a few months ago I added some photos from my laptop, laptop went bang, and i can't get the photos off the iphone (the photos which don't have a delete option on the phone). Only option I've discovered which i can't be bothered doing is emailing myself all the photos. Major flaw
