What's to happen to iPadI when ios6 comes out

I read an article saying you must get as many apps as you can,now because ios6 will not run on the iPad one. I hope this isn't true,after-all its only three yo.does Apple do this to people? I spent six hundred and change on that unit and over a grand on my new ipadIII are they obsolete after just three years???? Help!

1, you don't need to hurry up - NOW. ALL the current apps are compatible with pre-iOS6 OS'es.
2, however, as soon as iOS 6 is out, you'll need to be extremely cautious if you tend to update your apps on your desktop iTunes. (This doesn't apply to updating directly on the iPad.) It'll update the file and won't allow you to go back to a version compatible with pre-iOS6 operating systems. There may be cases when you notice the latest version of an earlier-purchased app can't be synched to your iPad as it has become iOS 6+ only. (This has become quite problematic with my iPhone 1 / 3G and 1st / 2nd gen iPod touches as I've VERY frequently run into this problem.)
You MUST use Time Machine and NOT let it delete old ipa's. With that, it'll be very easy to switch back to a still-working app version by just restoring it from the Time Machine backup. I do this very frequently with my 1st/2nd gen iPhone / iPt devices.
3, Generally, an "obsolete" OS will gradually lose most third-party support in about two-three years. Very few developers support, for example, iOS 3 now, which means very few current apps run on iOS 3 today.

  • Will the iPad2 run lion when it comes out??

    Hey everyone,
    Just wondering if lion will run on the new iPad when it comes out this july??
    Thanks

    iPads do not run OS X.
    They run iOS, an operating system designed for mobile devices and entirely seperate from OS X.
    iOS 5 comes out in the fall.

  • Will the ipad  2 get ios7 when it comes out?

    Hi all,
    I just wondered if my ipad 2 will get updated to ios7 when it comes out, wont they have to bring ios7 to it because they are still selling the ipad 2?
    Thanks

    This is an iPad user to user forum. Apple doesn't read or respond. Us users have no way of knowing what Apple will do. There is currently an update iOS 6.1 beta being tested. When released it will work on your iPad 2.

  • I purchased an iPad mini on October 10th.  I want to return it and get the new ipad mini retina when it comes out.  How do I do that if the new ipad mini release date isn't until "later in November", which is beyond the 14 days from my purchase date?

    I purchased an iPad mini on October 10th.  I want to return it and get the new ipad mini retina when it comes out. I am currently still within the 14 day return/exchange window but how can I exchange it if the new ipad mini release date isn't until "later in November", which would be beyond the 14 days from my purchase date?  If apple announces a new version of a product you just purchased but won't actually release it for more than 14 days, how can you possibly exchange the one you just bought?  Is my only option to return the one I bought on the 10th (so return by 10/24) and then not have an iPad until the new one is available for purchase?  Or would it make any sense to return the one I bought, get a new one, which would presumably have another 14 day return window, and then exchange THAT one for the new ipad mini w/ retina when it comes out (hopefully within that second 14 day window)?

    Call the apple store you got it from and ask them. Sometimes in the past they've extended the 'no questions asked return' but only Apple can tell you for sure.

  • I want to transfer movies I have downloaded from iTunes from my iPhone 5 to a flash drive to be able to use when I have no wifi on my iPad,when power is out etc ?

    I want to transfer movies I have downloaded from iTunes from my iPhone 5 to a flash drive to be able to use when I have no wifi on my iPad,when power is out etc ?

    If you have iTunes 11 on your computer then you can enable the left-hand sidebar on it via option-command-S on a Mac, control-S on a PC - when connected (and if your computer's iTunes is up-to-date) your iPad should then appear on that sidebar under a 'Devices' heading :
    If you select the iPad on that sidebar you can then use the Movies tab on the right-hand side of the iTunes screen to select and sync that film to your iPad's Videos app.
    Has your iPad been synced to the computer before ? If not then you might find this page for syncing to a new computer useful : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3141

  • When IOS7 comes out, will the current iPhone 5 and iPad mini have the finger scanner option, or is it just the new 5S, because in the release videos, they showed an on screen finger scanner, so I was curious whether older models will have this function?

    Please Answer

    The fingerprint scanner will be a function of new hardware.

  • Cyan screen when MBP comes out of sleep or power on.

    For around a month now, my MBP's screen has been going a Cyan colour, and sometimes with a green now and again. This usually happens when it comes out of a deep sleep or when I power it on. I took it to the Apple store and they said that there are no hardware issues, so it must be an app that it causing the problem. It was assumed that 'Flux' was the cause, an app which changes the colour and brightness of the screen to lessen the strain on your eyes when looking at the screen in a dark surrounding. I was recommended AppZapper to get rid of the app and it's connections, which I did. The problem didn't happen for a day or two and now it is back again. I read somewhere that a broken fan may be the cause, as a buzzing sound is coming from the inside of the laptop, which does sound like a hardware issue, which I mentioned at the genius bar but as it showed that there were no hardware issues when we tested my MBP, nothing was thought of it. Does anyone have a solution to this, or know what the cause may be? Thanks.

    The purpose of Flux is to lower the screen temperature (blue spectrum) at night so your computer monitor doesn't keep you awake by stimulating the pituitary gland in your brain that controls the sleep cycle.
    It is important to make sure any software like that (especially) works with your currrent machine and OS X verison before using it.
    The Mac has it's own controls in System Preferences > Displays to adjust the brightness and automatically dims the display to not be as bright at night.
    I was recommended AppZapper to get rid of the app and it's connections, which I did.
    Using this program is always a mistake, because it does a search only, thus other files are flagged and the use assumes the zapper knows what it doing and then deletes essential needed files or it doesn't catch certain files.

    What likely occurred is you missed something to uninstall in Flux, and/or it's not compatible with your OS X/machine or AppZapper deleted a unrelated necessary file.
    It's also possible you either have a bad fan that's striking it's own enclosure, or something got inside the machine, which wouldn't show up on the hardware tests.
    I would start out by going through the Steps #1-#8 here, this will fix OS X if you deleted a essential file out of it, also kick out anything by a possible incomplete uninstall of Flux, reset the SMC and PRAM etc.
    Step by Step to fix your Mac
    Next I would check with the Flux developer about finding out where all the parts of Flux are, and it's manual uninstall method, any issues with your machine/OS X version, then use the free Easy Find to locate the orphaned files in your Applications or User folder if there are any. The #8 Step above will refresh OS X, so no need to look there.

    Once that's been done, if your still having problems, then have Apple open the machine up and inspect the moving parts.

  • I would like to install Mountain Lion when it comes out...

    I have a late 2010 MBA 13 with 2GB of RAM and a 128GB SSD running OSX Snow Leopard. I'd like to install Mountain Lion when it comes out. I've heard that I must have OSX Lion first. I've always backed up my Mac using Time Machine to an external HDD, and the backups are current. My question is, I'd like a successful install of Lion, so that when ML comes out, I can buy and install that. My computer has two seperate user accounts, one for my wife and one for myself. We both use this computer and I don't want to mess any of her files, settings, etc up with either upgrade.
    Would I be safe performing a backup, then buying Lion from the Mac App Store and installing it? What problems would I run into? When ML comes out, will that be an easy upgrade also?
    Ryan

    You actually DON'T need to have Lion installed in order to installed Mountain Lion. You can do it right from Snow Leopard.
    But if you want to install Lion beforehand(which at this point I would just say to wait for ML), then yes, backup your Macintosh HD to an external hard drive or just use Time Machine, and that will back up both user accounts.

  • When Leopard comes out, will Tiger still be available?

    I'm a nincompoop with computers, when Leopard comes out, will Tiger still be available to purchase? I would rather have OS X Leopard, but I don't know if my powerbook will satisfy the requirements to run it. Have they published the requirements for Leopard? I want to make an informed decision but I'm not sure if time will permit.

    Here you can buy previous versions off OSX:
    http://www.macsales.com/
    MacSales does still sell OSX Panther (version before Tiger). So if Leopard is available for sail you can still buy Tiger there. There are also a lott other store's which do sell previous versions off OSX.
    I don't know what model powerbook you have?
    If it is a G4 then you can definitely run Leopard on it. Leopard will probably not support any off the Mac's with a G3 processor.
    Hopefully this is helpfull or solved your problem.

  • Thinking about getting Lion server when it comes out?

    I am truly thinking of getting Lion server when it comes out.  After reading the information on the web site, it looks as if I need to have Snow Leopard Server first.  I know it's early but just wanted to know so I know how I wish to do it.  Any feedback would be helpful, thanks.  Also what are your thoughts on Snow Leopard Server?

    10.6 server runs great and has many customizable options.
    10.7 server will have a more simple layout to make it easier for the small office manger to use.
    To get 10.7 server from what i understand is you need to have at least 10.6.6 client. Then you can upgrade to Lion for $30. Once the lion client is installed you can then install the server tools which is $50.

  • The unlocked IPhone 4S models will not be available until November, Why is that? Why would Apple do that? I should be able to buy a factory unlocked Apple iPhone 4S when it comes out! Why is my interests being put last and Sprint, Verizon

    The unlocked IPhone 4S models will not be available until November, Why is that? Why would Apple do that? I should be able to buy a factory unlocked Apple iPhone 4S when it comes out! I travel all over the world, and so that is why I need one like that. It is unfair to the consumer, and frankly turning away customers like myself willing to pay high dollar to Apple for their product, who can I speak with to complain about this, because I know their are factory unlocked iPhone 4S' sitting in a warehouse somewhere just waiting to be shipped, and I want one.  I know why, cause Apple signed contracts with each carrier so the carrier could increase their sales making customers sign 2 year contracts, I get it, I own my own business, but the delay of releasing factory unlocked ones is just not right and I should be able to buy one without having to buy it over in the UK where it is unlocked when it comes out right away, I should be able to buy it in my own country!  These business practices we practice in the US need to stop, their is a demand that needs to be met with consumers like myself who don't need subsidized iPhone's with 2 year contracts with carriers and don't mine paying full price for an unlocked one, it is unethical in a sense, forcing the customer to buy it with a carrier contract and NOT giving the customer the option to buy it full price and own it themselves, OR, making the consumer wait a month for that option to be available.  THEY SHOULD BE RELEASED AT THE SAME TIME!!!!!!  THAT IS THE RIGHT THING TO DO!!!!!!
    Apple can contact me and I will proudly pay for one.  But making me wait a month for an unlocked one, puts AT&T, Sprint & Verizon's interests before mine, and that is not right, for it is MY money that keeps you guys in business, so my best interests should come first!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I understand your frustration, but when any form of rationing is required you have to prioritise. The number of unlocked vs packaged phones will be quite small and the number of unlocked buyers wishing to upgrade immediately will be smaller still. Against this you have the corporations sharing $billions between them.
    It would, you're correct, have been fairer to release all at the same time, but fairer doesn't come into it: it's business.

  • I want to update to iOS 7 when it comes out via iTunes. I gather that I will require iTunes 11.1 to do so, but I recently updated my version (today) to version 11.0.5. Will I be OK or wait until I have a Wi-Fi connection and do it then?

    More than likely, the new version of itunes will be released later today in conjunction with iOS 7. But, yes, you can update the phone via WiFi. Make sure to set up icloud and do a back up first.
