Is IOS7 being released today??

biggebruv

and will it work with my regular old iphone4

brav

iOS 7 will work on iPhone 4, probably the last major update it will get, will not have all the features like panorama.

Don't think iOS 7 will be released today but date for release will be, more than likely 20th Sept but who knows

guil

The GM will probably be available in a few hours

Is it OTA update?
I'm on beta 6 but not seeing an update option. Says I'm up to date.

On the Beta myself & don't think the GM will be over the air hopefully it is but no doubt a link will appear soon enough to download the GM.

guil

No I don't think it will be an OTA update.
Keep checking here for the link.

With it not being OTA will there be a chance of it not activating on a non-dev phone?

No it was never a problem with iOS 4 and 5.

GM not OTA at the moment...am downloading now

eeloe

I'll assume this will be just like previous versions?

Download the GM and update via iTunes?

Has anyone installed the GM yet? Any noticeable differences between it and beta 6? (Besides the new tones)

Zcott

Running the GM now on an iPhone 5 and iPad 4. No real differences so far...I imagine it's just bug fixes.

So if I haven't been using a dev version of IOS7 before will I still be able to download this tonight from the link above and put it on my phone, how do I go about doing this?

Has anyone here updated to ios 7 gm yet using a pc? That's not a developer.
Twitter is saying we need iTunes 11.1 but its not available for pc yet.
Can anyone here confirm this?

That seems to be the case, and only 11.1 beta is available for Macs.

So the GM can't be installed without it?

I was installing the GM just there and when the update finished on iTunes and ejected my iPhone & it to complete the update when the iPhone reappears in iTunes, it stated iTunes 11.1 is needed to finish the update.

My phone is fine working away here & I am not sure if the GM did install & that iTunes just cannot read my phone on the latest update.

It appears you just need iTunes 11.1 beta 2 to sync your phone, from what you report it will install the GM ok. What I did was to download the beta 2 first as I wasn't sure.

guil

Yes it is. Have you got all your contacts etc after updating

On a Mac it can, but it won't sync unless you have the iTunes beta.

Yep iPhone 5 is working fine here after the update. Not worried about syncing it with iTunes & I backed up before I did the update.

If you have an iCloud backup you should be able to reset all content and settings and restore with iCloud. As a matter of interest what link did you use

There is an iTunes 11.1 beta available in the dev center...

So you can install the GM from iTunes 11.0.5, but once you do you won't be able to sync/backup your phone until iTunes 11.1 is released?

We have a work dev account so I can get 11.1 beta but TBH if nobody is reporting any difference from iOS7 Beta 6 then I'm not sure I'm bothered.

Would rather be able to sync without any hassle.

I'm trying to install the ipsw and it's telling me the firmware file is not compatible?

Did you download the correct version ? Do you have the latest beta installed ?

Silly question but did you download the right one?

guil

You don't need the latest iTunes beta to install it. You just can't sync afterwards.

eeloe

Nope, I being the fool that i am spent 9 hours downloading the wrong IPSW...FML!

I need 1429's build don't i?

Probably. It says on the back of your iPhone.

I have installed the iTunes 11.1 beta and installed iOS 7 on my iPhone 5. When I launch iTunes now I get an error "unable to load data class information from Sync Services". And I'm unable to do any backups via iTunes they just fail. I tried following this http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1627 but it didn't do any good.

Any ideas on how to fix it? Or am I stuck with now until the official release of iTunes 11.1?

Yes you're stuck. You can do iCloud backups without any problems, but iTunes 11.0 is not compatible with iOS 7.
Once 11.1 is released you'll be good to sync/backup with iTunes again.

(i'm in the same boat)

I've downloaded the ipsw file but when it tries to restore I get an error.

Any ideas?

Mr Velo

What version of the ipsw file have you got? If it's iPhone 5,1_7.0 then it's the incorrect version. You need the iphone 5,2_7.0

krudler

Put it on there, jesus it really demolishes battery doesnt it, down 9% in less than a half hour :eek: might just roll it back to ios6, running it on an 4s I imagine the 5 will run it better.

username?!

You've probably been flat out playing with the new OS, hence why the battery drop has increased?

eeloe

I haven't been playing with it 'that' much since installation, and it's an absolute DOG on the battery!

Where can you get 11.1 Beta of iTunes?

What error are you getting. I kept getting 3194 so tried a DFU restore. Came up 1601 so I switched USB ports and it worked fine

If you have Windows - then you can't. It's not available yet.
There is a beta version out there in Internet land for Mac.
