The iOS 8 is just around the corner, with the widespread availability has been officially announced on September 17. So it is a good time to prepare our devices for big update for the iPhone, the iPad and the iPod touch. Before we proceed to the transition to the redesigned new operating system, you need to check the compatibility and do a cleanup and to our iOS device. Here we present six steps ca preparation reception iOS 8, we consider necessary and would suggest to follow religiously.
Check the compatibility of your devices
The list below does not seem to have changed since the first release of the new operating system. So make sure that if you hold the device included in the list below. Specifically iOS 8 is compatible with the following devices:
iPhone 4s, 5, 5c, 5S, 6 and 6Plus
iPad 2,3,4, Air, iPad mini & mini 2
iPod touch 5th gen
Something to note here. That is the older model iPhones and iPads compatible as anaferentai list does not mean that it is necessary to upgrade now. Friendly advice from our experience, one such upgrade would be good owners of older models, waiting for the next version (8.0.1 or 8.0.2) which will solve problems and speed display. This may not apply to iOS 8, but it is good to raise.
You have already beta version of iOS 8
Polloi you may have installed some of the demos (formally or informally). You should know that all trial versions expire. Once the trial expires the phone becomes inoperable. You either have to downgrade the version (downgrade), or to upgrade to the final test GM.
Both options are easy to measure. In the first one, put your device in DFU Mode and then select restore from iTunes, while the second will have to search for the final test in the known - unknown points. We can not report on that. Not available OTA as previous demos.
Scrub iOS applications
Not to be claimed, it would be such magor updates, and satisfy one given the opportunity to do a cleanup and applications that we have in our device. I think it's understandable. Remove applications from both the iPhone and the iPad which is not in use, freeing up considerable space on your device and arrange the rest, is a chance! There is no risk of loss because all the applications that you have purchased, you can re-download at any time without the need to physically xanaplirosete.
Copying Photos and Video on your PC
These days most of us use the iPhone as your primary camera and video camera. This means that many memories of our trips or moments are there and of course we would not want to miss. The Photostream for many is a misunderstood service and also keeps only the last 1000 photos. In this service hitherto supported video.
The best thing to do is to copy it to your computer, and Video as many photos you want to save, whether you have Mac or windows. Alternate you can use services like Dropbox or Cloud where it is necessary to use a computer.
Double backup on iTunes and iCloud
I recommend you keep double Backup as minimize the chance of losing your data. Make a Local Backup to iTunes and a Backup to iCloud, if you want to remove your device for any reason. The Backup devices are very easy on any Apple device.
Backup in iTunes: Connect your device to the computer> select in iTunes> click "Back Up Now"
Backup to iCloud: go Settings> iCloud> Storage and copies> "Copy iCloud"
Always keep backup before doing any update on your device. It is particularly important, especially for large upgrades such as iOS 8.
Update and Install iOS 8
You are now ready and willing to proceed with the upgrade to the iOS operating system iOS 8. The installation process is now very simple via OTA as usual and will be widely available on September 17th ie tomorrow. On the other hand if you are a developer you can install the final trial GM from Apple. Now if you are impatient there is another method by making clean install now, but do not recommend the longer expect tomorrow as official. Anyway wish you great enjoyment as the iOS 8 is expected to bring many new features to our devices.
