Will I be forced to install iOS 7?

With my iPad 2, I wanted to wait at least for the next update before installing iOS 7, hearing about the problems people are having with older iPads, concerned especially about it running slow and slow charging time.
So I'm still running iOS 6, but now something weird is happening with app updates - even when I update via iTunes, it tells me that some apps won't be synced because they're for iOS 7. And I keep getting loads of app updates showing up in my App Store app that just disappear, and sometimes they show up to be updated repeatedly, so I'm not sure what is going on.
Will it soon get to the point where apps won't work on iOS 6 and it will become necessary to install iOS 7? Do we have a choice or not really? My iPad 2 runs fine now, and I don't see any reason to spend money on a new one if I don't have to, just to get proper performance.

well, you point out a common complaint-in which i totally agree. i dont really have an answer insomuch as you point out the "solution" /dilemma. i hate this about Apple and their updates. i was fine with current ios for ipad. the new 7 is a battery hog and somewhat memeory hog too. ihad had a few crashes already and some apps are unstable as it's so new. and it's odd to me that it takes longer to recharge the battery. there's other things like apps that seemingly open and close quickly… for some reason this is by design. and it's actually causing motion sickness in some ppl.
and god forbid u can easily change font size in a safari email!
guess this is what keeps IT ppl with a job…
my advice today is do NOT upgrade IF u can stand it.

Iphone 5 refurbished, will I be forced to update IOS?

My iPhone 5 has IOS 6.1.2 installed on it and the power button has stopped working. It is being replaced under warranty. When I set the replacement phone up from the restore from my original phone will I be able to install the same IOS (6.1.2) or will I be forced into IOS 7?

TS1702 Podcasts App lost and will not restore or re-install. iOs 6.1.6

Iphone 3gs updated with iOs 6.1.6 software. Podcasts App lost when restored from backup and will not re-install from iTunes. How do I fix it?

That's because the latest Podcast App is only for iOS 7. You have to go to AppStore and re-install a version compatible with 6.1.3

Have Macbook Pro & 4th gen iPod Touch. Downloaded & installed iOS 4.3.2 yesterday. Upgrade went without a hitch, but now iTunes on My Macbook Pro will not open. I get an error that says "iTunes" Data too new to be used with this version of iTunes.

Have a Macbook Pro and a 4th gen iPod Touch. Downloaded and install iOS 4.3.2 yesterday. Upgrade went without a hitch, but now iTunes on My Macbook Pro will not open. I get an error that says --The file "iTunes Library" cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes--. I am running iTunes 10.1. I searched for Updates to my MacBook Pro (running 10.6.7), but comes back saying no updates available. WHAT IS GOING ON??

Is your computer still authorized in the Store menu in iTunes?
iTunes Store: About authorization and deauthorization
When I changed to my new MacBookPro I had to authorize it although I used TimeMachine to transfer my settings and data.
Did you try to deselect Wi-Fi syncing and enable it again after that?
iTunes 10.5 and later: Troubleshooting iTunes Wi-Fi syncing
Did you already transfer your purchases and manually started a backup?

I installed iOS 7 and it deleted some of my contacts, as expected, so I just resaved them all. There's one particular number that will save but in my messages, it shows up as the number instead of the name saved. How do I fix it? And why is it doing that?

I had this problem too, I fixed it by going to my settings and under general at the bottom there is a reset option, go there. One of the options should be reset network settings, select that one. I’m not sure why it happens but that worked for me; hope you have the same luck!

I'm trying to install iOS 5.0 but getting message that my computer does not have sufficient space to backup my iPad; continuing will result in loss of all media on iPad. I was going to install iCloud but it seems that you have to have iOS 5.0, help?

i'm trying to install iOS 5.0 but getting message that my computer does not have enough space to backup my iPad and continuing will result in loss of all media on iPad. an option seemed to be backing up on iCloud, but i think you have to have iOS 5.0 to install iCloud.
how do i install iOS 5.0 without losing anything on my iPad?

If you really do not have enough space on your HDD for a backup of your iPad, you do not have enough space at all. Free up at least 15% of your HDD, in any case more than 0.8GB for the iPad update.
Make backups on an external disk.
After freeing up enough space, try again.

I have iPhone 3GS, if I install iOS 4.3.5. will it be locked again?

I have iPhone 3GS, if I install iOS 4.3.5. will it be locked again?

The ONLY place can unlock an iphone is the carrrier to which it is locked and ONLY if they offer that service.
For example, AT&T in the U.S. does not unlock any iphones at all.
You can buy an unlocked iphone from the Apple Store now, but you cannot get a locked phone unlocked in the U.S.

This should solve the problem
Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings
It will not erase any of your personal data, just reset the settings.
Hope this helps.

If no joy, take it back, and take full advantage of your warranty!
You also may want to let Apple know about this as well:

How long will it take to install ios 7.0.6?

Good day every one! May i ask if any body knows how long will it take to install ios 7.0.6 on my ipad mini? Help lease.....

I've just done the update directly on my iPhone from 7.0.4 to 7.0.6 and it took 15 minutes from start to finish - on my iPad yesterday it was similar.
However you do the update, directly on your iPad or via your computer's iTunes (via your computer will be slower), then copy your purchases over to your computer's iTunes via File > Devices > Transfer Purchases and take a backup of your iPad - and preferably copy any important documents and/or photos off as well so that you have your own copy of them (the update should go smoothly, but it's best to be safe)

Installed iOS 7.04 in my iPhone 5 and back camera and flashlight still inop. Any others out there with this problem still and any ideal of when there will be a fix for it?

I'm using iOS 7.04 on my iPhone and basically can't use it. The screen is going crazy. I type and special characters show up. I have to hit send more than once (it grays out, then hit again) then it sends. I type words in text or email and it backspaces and deletes my entire message. I tap an application and it starts wiggling to delete. I've reboot several times. I'm looking at restoring, but that is a pain in the arse (it's my work phone). I'm nervous it will not restore properly.
I have iOS 7.03 on iPad and have no issues.

Do not use iOS 7. Attempting to install iOS 7 will cause your phone to require a factory reset, thus wiping all your data from the device. Save your data, do not attempt to install the new iOS 7.
