Can 4s iPhone be updated to ios8?  Friend wants to know

FFriend has 4s phone. I see apple says it is compatible with ios8. -  but I heard there were issues. I told her to get a new phone! 

The 4s is perfectly compatible with iOS 8.  Any reported issues are more to do with specific glitches during installation, than anything particularly wrong with iOS 8.
As a counter, I have a couple friends that are using iPhone 4s and none report any issues with iOS8.
Your friends mileage may vary.

    HI
    I was trying to take my Mac air to factory default settings.
    I've done all that it says in the documment i was following, and them during the process it asked me the APPLE ID.
    I put the apple id i have in my iphone. But it's not the one... it's said that i don't have any OSX associated with it... so it can not install the OSX.
    So what can i do?

  • Can the iPhone have settings profiles?  I want the settings of what apps are using the "call home" automatically set based on my location or the time of day.  Is this possible?

    Can the iPhone have settings profiles?  I want the settings of what apps are using the "call home" automatically set based on my location or the time of day.  Is this possible?  Of course the GPS location feature will need to be on in order for this to work.  But the idea here would be to optimize battery life by disabling the 'call home' requests of apps.  The settings profile should also support downloads as I would like to download and allow it when I am on WiFi but not so much when I am using my cellular data.

    No, this is not possible as the sandboxed nature of iOS would not allow any app to modify another app like that. Such a feature would have to be enabled by Apple as a part of iOS itself. You can submit feedback to Apple about the idea if you wish to.

    If you've wiped the device remotely then it is no longer associated.
    You could also change the password for your Apple ID.

  • 2.16 or 2.33 17" MBP? A friend wants to know...

    I recently bought the 2.33 17" Core 2 Duo MBP. A friend wants to buy one, but sees that the 2.16 Core Duo immediately earlier model is way cheaper - like $800 or more cheaper after all the dust settles, including bundle bargains with Parallels Desktop.
    We know the newer model has:
    * A newer processor version with a slightly higher speed
    * An extra GB of RAM (worth maybe $150?)
    * 40GB extra standard HD
    She is wondering if the newer model has anything else valuable going for it that would make her go for the higher priced model.
    I really couldn't say either way...
    Any recommendations?
    Thanks!
    doug

    The difference between the 2.16Ghz 15" and the 17" also includes the 2.33Ghz 15" & 17" having 256MB Graphics over 128Mb in the 2.16Ghz machine.
    The 17" also has 8x Dual Layer DVD over 6x and a larger screen.
    Having had the 15" 2.33 the speed of the machine was stunning, but there was the grainy display issue which rendered the unit virtually useless to me, so I returned it and upgraded to the 17" machine.
    Much better screen, and not that much bigger than the 15".
    So, if your friend is planning on doing any video intensive stuff, they may want to consider the extra VRAM in the 2.33Ghz machines, keep in mind graphics can't be upgraded easily at a later date. The extra 1Gb RAM may only be worth $150, but if you add that to the faster CPU and extra VRAM, the 15" 2.33 may be worth considering.

    Accidental damage is not covered under the warranty but if possible to reset the screen without causing additional damage, the Apple Store should do this without charging for it.

  • IPhone 4S updated to iOS8, no internet possible at all

    After updating my iPhone 4S to iOS 8.0.2 my iPhone seemed to work properly.
    Only a few thing where reacting slow.
    - Like response during typing, the typed words appeared after a few seconds or didn't appear at all.
    - Turning the iPhone from vertical to horizontal (or v.v.), the display, didn't turn with it, or only with several seconds delay.
    - Battery-power turns faster on low.
    So there are several of these kind of problems.
    The main problem on this moment however is that internet suddenly doesn't work at all.
    - WiFi doesn't work. It is not possible to turn "on" the WiFi, because the WiFi-button doesn't response on touching
    - tips and tricks like restoring network settings or disable location settings doesn't work
    - although the 3G-symbol in the topbar is visible, it's not possible to have a 3G-connection with the provider at all
    - Trying to restore the iPhone, using iTunes is also not possible. iTunes requires you first to disable "find your iPhone" on your iPhone.
      Trying to do so, the iPhone requires the Apple-ID password and tries to check the password online. That of course is not possible,
      because there is no internet connection available in the first place.
    Maybe unnecessary to mention, that I can't use the iPhone any more where it was used for.
    I cannot check email, can't use social websites, no web browsing, not possible to check and use my bankaccount.
    As an hockey-arbitter, I can't fill in the match-results of the teams online. (it's only possible online, on paper is not possible any more)
    I can't use the remote-control for my iTunes music on my MacBook, I cannot stream music to my Airport or Apple TV.
    My Contacts and Agenda doesn't synchronize any more. I'm not able to pay my parking-costs (using Parkmobile) any more, so I have to put a bankcard in the parking machine (which is not error-tollerant)
    So Apple please solve these problems directly.
    And when it will take to much time, please make it possible that iOS8 users are able to "downgrade to iOS 7.1.2 again.
    I can imagine that Apple won't like such a temporarily solution, but it would help many Apple users.
    Please make that temporarily downgrade to iOS 7.1.2 possible, until iOS 8 is bug free
    Thank you.

    Hello Kakashian,
    You are right.
    Apple is losing the faith of "hard core Apple supporters", like myself.
    A friend of mine has just already bought an Android 4.4 SmartPhone, Wolfgang AT-AS55HD1.
    It has an 5.5 inch screen, 8 Mps Camera and much more.
    It's open-source. Has similar specs. as the iPhone 6plus (of course there are some differences) but costs only a fraction.
    Just 199 euro, where the iPhone 6plus costs 799 euro. Thats only 25% of the iPhone's price.
    I'm considering to buy just the same smartphone. When I should decide to do so, it's buy buy Apple.
    That's not the case yet, but, just as you, I almost throw the iPhone on the floor. I'm also furious at Apple.
    So Apple, SOLVE THIS PROBLEM DIRECTLY (this weekend) or make it possible to downgrade to iOS 7.1.2.

  • IPhone 4s - updated to ios8 - issues..

    Unluckily my hard drive on my 2011 13" MBP has been dying a slow death this last week. I a have managed to drag and drop a lot of files onto external but some I'm unable to.
    Then I got back from Europe (I live in the UK) and my iMessages and emails were messing up on my iPhone 4s started messing up. Just not getting emails and iMessage would not function at all. I called Three* my network provider and they said to do a reset.
    I did a reset and it didn't work, they then suggested backing up and restoring with latest ios8.
    I managed to back up on iTunes but now it appears that I do not have enough power in my hard drive to back up restore. It was 'restoring' for the entire afternoon with now progress on the bar.
    I pulled it out in disgust and boredom of waiting.
    So right now I am unsure what to do.
    Currently I can not get past a 'Hello' screen.. It's a white screen with animations of hello in different languages and Siri seems to be reading them out. But I can not even scroll through this screen?
    I am guessing this is a full restore that is underway.
    I am willing to accept that I may not be able to restore with my older data like photos.. Luckily in iCloud when I log in I can see all my numbers and calendar entries etc so is that possible to still download them to phone?
    I am currently without a phone and it ***** big time. I have no idea what to do about it?
    Can anyone please suggest anything I could try or options I have at my disposal?
    Really appreciate your help so far.
    Thanks.

    Hey JimmyCR,
    I know that can be frustrating, especially after an update when something is not working, but for issues regarding the camera on your iPhone, take a look at the article below for some troubleshooting options to get it working again. If needed, you may need to contact Apple Support for further assistance.

  • Why has EE vanished from my iPhone after updating to iOS8?

  • Can my iphone be updated to 7.0.4

    How can I tell if my wife's iPhone can be updated to the latest software?  When she connects to he laptop which is a PowerBook G4 Pro running 10.5.8, it seems unable to update the phone.  It say that the software is available but it just won't update.  Any help would be appreciated.

    PowerBooks cannot run OS X 10.6.8, which is the oldest version of OS X that can support the current Tunes.  It is also the oldest OS X that could support even the previous version of iTunes.
    So you will need a newer computer to use iTunes to sync with your iPhone on iOS 7.

  • Can an iPhone be updated with a backup file that is older than the newest available?

    My husband has lost all of his iPhone information when he cleaned it off to start over, then saved a new backup that wiped out all his old info.  Is there any way to go back to a previous backup to retrieve all his lost contact information?

    Yeah, each column in the CSV needs to have a descriptive header. Here's what I used to quickly test that example script I posted above:
    loginDetails.csv:
    Server,User,Date
    Server1,user1,8/12/2014 16:18
    Server1,user2,3/21/2014 12:33
    Server1,Admin,6/13/2013 15:34
    Server2,user3,8/14/2014 7:34
    Server2,Admin,11/14/2013 7:30
    Server2,user4,8/12/2013 8:03
    Server3,user5,8/14/2014 7:34
    Server3,user1,7/14/2014 7:30
    Server3,user3,6/12/2014 8:03
    Server4,user5,8/14/2013 7:34
    Server4,user2,6/12/2013 7:30
    Server4,user3,2/12/2013 8:03
    Output of example from above:
    Under 3 Months - Server1 user1 8/12/2014 16:18
    Over 3 Months - Server1 user2 3/21/2014 12:33
    Over 3 Months - Server1 Admin 6/13/2013 15:34
    Under 3 Months - Server2 user3 8/14/2014 7:34
