Just a heads up regarding iOS 7; use caution if you NEED your phone.

Aside from the myriad things that can go wrong with a major OS upgrade like this, what has happened the last few times Apple released a major upgrade is that many people were left without a functional phone for a few hours as your phone needs to reauthorize itself with Apple after an upgrade, and those authorization servers get overloaded even if those serving the software upgrade itself do not.
If I recall correctly, when iOS 6 was released, many peoples' phones did not authorize for an hour or two.
I also recall that for many the upgrade process itself took multiple hours to complete, and then there were quite a few "teething" issues that needed to be worked out (one of the biggest was that Wi-Fi wouldn't work anymore, with people being asked to log into a website at Apple for which they had no login or password.)
Likewise I recall the iTunes Match servers were swamped, so many were left with a blank music list for a day or two.
Therefore, if you know you're going to need your phone within say three to four hours of when you plan to do the upgrade, you may want to wait until later this week when the traffic to Apple's servers slows down a bit.

    You used the data.  Verizon can not see what it was sued for.  However your phone can see whats apps used the data.  go to settings-data usage- there will be a place that says data usage cycle.  line the dates up with your cycle.  then there will be a bar graph below that   extend bother white bars one all the way to the left and one all the way to the right.  after those are extended below that will be a list of apps,  there should be one that used over 2 gb and that will show you what app used that data in her purse

  • TS4036 My iPhone has just been replaced and I am trying to restore from iCloud but its saying no backups are compatible with the version of IOS 6.0.1. My back iOS are IOS 6.1. Can you update the phone first then restore?

    My iPhone has just been replaced and I am trying to restore from iCloud but its saying no backups are compatible with the version of IOS 6.0.1. My back iOS are IOS 6.1. Can you update the phone first then restore?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Yes, update first, Settings > General > Software Update.
    Then navigate to Settings > General > Reset > Erase all contents and settings on the device you want to restore.
    When this completes and the Set-Up Assistant starts, choose "Restore from iCloud Backup" and enter your iCloud account and password. You will see the three most recent backups for each of the devices on which you enabled Backup. Choose which backup to restore from.

  • Can you use Apple Pay without also needing to use a passcode to unlock your phone? I don't see that combination of options in settings.

    Can you use Apple Pay without also needing to use a passcode to unlock your phone? I don't see that combination of options in settings.

    I too don't like this. I would like to be able to use Touch ID for purchases on the App Store, Apple Pay, & Apple Store without having to use a passcode to unlock my phone. Why not allow the Touch ID to be app specific? Let us use it when we need it, not force us to use it for everything or nothing at all. That ***** that you have to set up a Passcode for your phone if you want to use Apple Pay. I didn't know about that. I haven't set that up yet because I'm waiting for them to support my credit card. Now I'm thinking I may not use Apple Pay. What a pain! Come on Apple, let us pick and choose what we want to lock down on our phones!!!

  • Hello, I have updated to the newest Pages and yet when I open a document to use it says, "You need a newer version of Pages to open this document." When I got to install it again it says I have already done that. Anybody have any tricks? Thanks!

    Hello, I have updated to the newest version of Pages and yet when I open a document to use it says, "You need a newer version of Pages to open this document." When I got to install it again it says I have already done that. Anybody have any tricks? Thanks!

    You have 2 versions of Pages on your Mac.
    Pages 5 is in your Applications folder.
    Pages '09/'08 is in your Applications/iWork folder.
    You are alternately opening the wrong versions.
    Pages '09/'08 can not open Pages 5 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
    Pages 5/5.01 can not open Pages 5.1 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
    Pages 5.1 sometimes can not open its own files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
    Pages 5 can open Pages '09 files but may damage/alter them. It can not open Pages '08 files at all.
    Once opened and saved in Pages 5 the Pages '09 files can not be opened in Pages '09.
    Anything that is saved to iCloud is also converted to Pages 5 files.
    All Pages files no matter what version and incompatibility have the same extension .pages.
    Pages 5 files are now only compatible with themselves on a very restricted set of hardware, software and Operating Systems and will not transfer correctly on any other server software than iCloud.
    Apple has not only managed to confuse all its users, but also itself.
    Note: Apple has removed over 95 features from Pages 5 and added many bugs:

    Archive/trash Pages 5, after exporting all Pages 5 files to Pages '09 or Word .docx, and rate/review it in the App Store, then get back to work.

  • R12 - Using SOA - Do you need a separate Apps tier?

    Hi All, looking at SOA suite at the moment and have a question about what installs are needed.
    I have 12.0.0 installed on Linux with the standard technology stacks out of the box. (Will be upgrading to 12.0.6 but not for the next 8 weeks) I want to be able to use SOA suite and my question is a basic one on software install requirements.
    When I look at SOA Suite I can see that this is shown as App Server 10g Release 3. (10.1.3.x) on the Oracle site. Now I already have 10.1.3 from the R12 install. Do I need to download SOA Suite (App server 10g R3) and have an additional Apps server install or can you patch the R12 one if this is possible/required?
    Appreciate any info from those using SOA with Oracle Apps R12 who can confirm installs etc. I am going for the most straight forward solution initially as want to spend more time looking at SOA before deciding to use in earnest. If the most straight forward way is to download the SOA Suite as an additional apps server tier then so be it.
    Cheers Cel

    Celwyn,
    I do not have SOA integrated with R12, but what I know is you need to install SOA in a different ORACLE_HOME on an existing E-Business Suite Release 12 application-tier server or on a server that is physically separate from an existing E-Business Suite Release 12 Applications server (recommended).

  • HT4528 Just installed iOS7 on my iphone 4.  How do you close your apps, so they do not run battery down so fast?

    Just installed iOS7 on my iphone 4.  Everything is completely different....  How do I close open apps at the end of the day, so the battery does not run down as fast? It was very easy before, but doesn't work the same way now.  Help

    Thank you for your assistance.  I watched the tutorial and it also helped me.  I am sure there will be a lot of questions in the future as many of us update.  So far all my apps seem to be working fine, so I am fine with it.  This too could change.  Thanks for your help.

  • Heads up regarding iOS 4.2 and Photoshop images

    It took me a while to track down, and it may not be a problem for you, but after upgrading my 3GS to iOS 4.2, I get the message "The required file cannot be found" when iTunes attempts to sync an album containing a Photoshop image to my iPhone.
    YMMV

    Upon further checking, Photoshop images created using CS5 sync just fine with my iPhone, but images created using CS3 don't.

  • I just bought a mac and have never used one.  I need help.

    i have no idea what i am doing.  I have always used a pc.  now i have a mac mini.

    Stedman1 has posted a great link. I strongly recommend against the Mac for Dummies. At some point the Dummy books began to believe they were for dummies rather than for newbies. The Missing Manual series is very good. If you were a comfortable Windows users the book I recommend is Switching to the Mac: The Missing Manual, Mavericks Edition because it will build on what you already know and understand. Otherwise just get the OS X Mavericks: The Missing Manual version.

  • Can you use apps that are on your phone in Itunes?

    My question stems from having to set my Iphone 4 back to stock settings.  I do sync with the cloud but for some reason it did not do it correctly.  I lost my apps on my phone but still have them all on my Itunes.  One app I see on my Itunes that I need to access is my Vehical, this tracks my miliage and expenses for work.  Does anyone know how to pull date off of that app in Itunes? 

    No, you cannot run iOS apps directly in iTunes. Having reset your device to its initial setup you would need to restore a backup of the device taken prior to the reset in order to recover the various app-specific data.
