APPLE THREAD | Apple Event Sept. 9th 2024 10a.m. PT. | iPhone 16

[johnpierre6]

Just called apple. Was told approximieatly 7 million people are downloading iOS 7 and their activation servers are down. Recommended to try back in 30 min to 1 hour.

 

[sole searchin]

Just keep trying guys. Keep clicking that button. It will go through eventually.

But if you need to restore your phone like me...you're ******. Because even if you can activate it OTA, you still need itunes store to restore the phone. 

I somehow managed to make it work though..

Finally activated and restoring right now from my backup. Should be about 20 more minutes until I can go about my day again finally.

almost done downloading in itunes.. im scared

will i be ok u guyz

 

[jkballer5]

If I update to ios7 thru itunes while my iPhone 5 is still jailbroken, will that brick it?

 

[Bert.]

nevermind im not updating now

im not risking losing all my crap since it will some how mess up the file i bet like last time i did this stuff.

 

[00david00]

this thing is draining the life out of my battery though

Took me about an hour. Feels like I have a new phone

 

[sonoftony]

the guys working the servers are too busy playing GTA guise

I'll wait 'till tomorrow to DL.

anybody has a 4 and downloaded iOS 7? how did it work?

I downloaded about an hour ago... Took like 20 min. Tops.

Go into iTunes If available choose download only... Then restore your device and it will automatically add ios7 when it reboots.

I'll be doing this on the weekend. Since I hold my entire iTunes on my phone, it takes all day to get it in there.

so is the activating working?

I like the "flatness".  It looks/feels refined.

Notification center and control center are really a step up, in terms of usability.

I can finally put newsstand in a folder

iOS 7 kind of a headache right now.

Asked in the iOS thread but will ask here since it seems to be more active.

Has anyone figured out a way to disable spotlight check? It's annoying and randomly comes down as I'm just swiping right.

Also... Everytime I come to NT I have to re-enter my SN and Password. Anyway to have it saved. I looked just couldn't figure it out.

Any help is appreciate. Thanks I'm advance.


***EDIT***

Fixed the password thing. Apparenlty I had Privacy Browsing on... Turned it off and problem was fixed.

happened to me before, delete te email or select your number as the primary choice.

i think you have to go to imessages in settings

Tried that, and all it says is "Waiting for activation" and has been like that for a few minutes.

Deleting in entirely seems to only send my texts as SMS and not iMessages.
