Periodically, updates are released that you are encouraged to install. Read on to find out how.

To be honest, whether or not to update iOS is a question that leaves many in doubt as to whether it's worth it at all. Personally, the decision to update iOS was not immediately given to me. Some may call me conservative, but I was worried that after the update, some applications might work crookedly for me or stop launching altogether. The extreme point was that when viewing new applications in the Appstore, every second had iOS requirements from version 6.0 and above, and I was sitting with my version 5.1.1 and could not install anything. After that, I realized that it was time to do a system update.

In general, I will immediately say that after the update I was satisfied, the ipad began to work much faster, but of course there are jambs, the main one, in my opinion, is the terrible work of the Appstore - it began to load mega-long, it was crookedly displayed, the application was not install, but it was only in the first few days after the iOS update, and then everything began to work for me more or less, and I could safely work in the Appstore.

5. The download process begins, now we are waiting patiently ...

6. We also expect to check for updates

7. At the end of checking for updates, your ipad will reboot and the following will appear on the screen:

Move the arrow to unlock the screen

8. We see a message stating that the update has been successfully completed and there are a few steps left to complete the installation, press the button Continue

Thank you very much for your attention! I hope that this article on how to update iOS on iPad was useful for you. If you have any questions or suggestions - write them in the comments below, we will figure it out together.

We considered the issue of updating the mobile operating system, but today we will touch on two generations of users: those who use iOS no jailbreak procedure and those who can't live without cydia store and we will try to solve the errors that occur during the update.

Note.If you are familiar with the update procedure, revision website I am sincerely glad for you and asks you to give the opportunity to use the manual to users who need it.

Before starting the update, I would like to make a little clarity for those who are faced with the need to update the i-device for the first time:

Update– download and installation process latest version operating system with all data saved.
Recovery– updating and resetting all settings to factory settings (the state of a new clean iOS device with the latest current firmware version).
Restoring from a copy- restore settings, download applications, notes and contacts to the state of the last created backup without changing the current firmware version.

Very often, due to inexperience, users using the store Cydia and all the advantages of jailbreak, suddenly decide to give up the ability to install applications and tweaks from third party stores, get "on the right path" and upgrade to "clean" iOS. Easy update via Settings menu - General - Software update - Download and update after a few minutes, it can end with an eternal reboot. Don't rush, take your time!

Update device without jailbreak

Conditions: the device supports the latest current firmware, connected stable internet, the jailbreak procedure was not performed.

Follow all the steps consistently and the upgrade process will be "dry and comfortable".

Point 1. Pay attention to compatibility.

Make sure your iOS device supports the latest when updating. current version firmware. You can always find out about compatibility on the official website of the company and this is the only reliable source. As for iOS 8, the following are compatible with it:

• iPhone: 4S and newer;
• iPad mini: all models; iPad: iPad 2 and later;
• iPod: iPod Touch 5gen.

If all is well and your device is supported, go to paragraph 2.

Point 2. Update iTunes. We free up space.

Before any Apple update highly recommend updating to the latest version iTunes apps. You can do this from the application itself ( iTunes - Updates), and downloading it again from the official site with a further replacement of the old version.

Before proceeding with the update, make sure that your Mac or computer is under Windows control enough free space. Its size depends on the size of the backup you plan to create. Required minimum- near 8-9 GB(106 apps on my iPhone pulled in 6GB). Make sure that free memory enough on an iOS device. You can check the memory status by going to Settings - General - About this device.

In case your iPhone, iPad or iPod has less 400-500 MB, it is highly recommended to uninstall multiple apps or videos by increasing the volume free space at least until 1.5 GB.

All these memory freeing operations will help to avoid problems and unexpected errors during the update.

Point 3. Backup and recharging.

Remember, always always do backup data! Whether you plan to update your iPhone or not, get in the habit of making periodic backups. This will save your nerves and a state of deep frustration when the iOS gadget refuses to load beyond the white apple.

Connect your iOS device to your computer, open the icon with its image and choose where exactly to create a copy. If in cloud storage iCloud you have enough remote disk space- feel free to create a copy in it. From time to time, I strongly recommend that you make new offline copies on your computer.

Selecting an item Create a copy now, decide if you need copies installed programs or you will start life with " clean slate". Backup size with applications can be much bigger than without it.

Depending on how loaded your iOS device is, it depends on how many cups of coffee you have to drink while passing the time. To kill two birds with one stone, create a backup both in iCloud and on a computer. It will take a little longer, but further recovery You can return the spent minutes of waiting.

Before proceeding with the key step - updating iOS, make sure that your gadget is charged more than 50% . This figure is rather symbolic and many advanced users updated with 20-30%, but no one can predict how actively your device will eat up the battery during the update.

Item 4. Update.

This is where the paths of many users diverge. Someone prefers a more stable and reliable update "on a shoelace" (in the moment of the first few hours after the release new firmware this option is more preferable), someone is updated "over the air".

Each option has the right to life, and if all the above points are observed, there will be no problems during recovery.

For an over the air update, open Settings - General - Software Update and download the latest firmware version.

When updating from using iTunes just connect your iOS device and select the item Refresh.

Item 5. Restoring purchases and applications.

After a successful iPhone updates will offer to choose system language and connect to WiFi networks. The next item is data recovery.

If you have good speed Internet, you can recover data from iCloud copies . If not, choose a copy of iTunes . The second option is somewhat faster. The iOS device will immediately require a connection to iTunes, and the application itself will go into recovery mode.

By default, the most recent backup will be selected. Choose an item Restore and wait for the process to finish. Do not disconnect the cable until the application and data are fully transferred. When the restore from the backup is complete, the device will reboot and require you to sign in. account Apple ID.

Log in, select your email and phone number for using iMessage. You will be greeted by the familiar SpringBoard with native wallpapers and icon placement. Now the iOS device will download all the apps from the digital backup. Wait for the download to complete and the device is completely ready for use.

Jailbreak device update

For the opportunity to be different from everyone else: install tweaks and download free apps, required a small fee- a slightly different update procedure. However, it is not much more difficult.

Attention! If your iOS device has been jailbroken, do not update over the air or through a regular iTunes update. There is a high probability of getting an eternal reboot or a recovery loop.

Point 1. We prepare the iOS device.

Definitely after iPhone usage or iPad with jailbreak on the device there are many multiple applications downloaded from alternative stores. It is highly recommended to remove them.

For further operations, repeat all the operations listed in paragraphs 1 - 4. When creating a backup, be prepared for possible emergence errors. All that remains is for you to kindly agree that iTunes cannot transfer the purchase, or purchase paid version applications (don't be cunning, because the jailbreak helped save a few tens of rubles :)

Point 2. Restore and update the device

So, the backup is created and it's time to "return everything as it was." We reset your smartphone to factory settings. Choose an item Restore iPhone. iTunes will require you to disable the feature Find iPhone. You can do this on an iOS device by opening Settings - iCloud - Find My iPhone and turn off use.

Apple will once again warn you about the possible loss of non-ported applications and offer you to download the latest version of the operating system. We agree and go for another cup of coffee.

After a successful update, Recovery purchases and downloading applications from a backup is carried out in exactly the same way as in the case of using a “clean” device without a jailbreak procedure.

If something went wrong

IN digital world As in life, not everything goes smoothly and the way we want. If during the update your iPhone stopped pleasing the usual screen spring board, but displays a lonely white apple on a black background, things are not quite good. What to do in this case:

Option 1. Hold down the key power And Home. Keep holding for 10 Seconds. The device will reboot and you will have chances for a successful download.

Option 2. If option 1 didn’t help, I have to upset you - you got into the so-called recovery loop. You can get out of it, but this will require sacrifice - a complete loss of data and updating to the latest firmware version (however, if you dutifully performed Point 3- don't worry).

Removing a device from the recovery loop:

1. Connect your iOS device to your computer with iTunes running.
2. In iTunes, select Restore.
3. Wait for the recovery to finish. When the iTunes icon appears, you will need to transfer the iPhone V DFU mode . The transition to DFU is carried out as follows:

Firmware for any iPhone through iTunes

Why do I need to do a clean install of iOS on an iPhone or iPad?

What is the benefit of a clean install over a restore when upgrading to a new phone or tablet?

On older devices, a clean install can help the device run faster and smoother. Even on my iPhone 6S Plus everything was much better when I performed clean install. When performing a clean install, you can follow two methods.

If you really want to start from scratch, you'll have to manually download all your apps and set everything up again. The reason why they don't is that you will lose all your old messages and data.

How to update iOS? The first thing you need to do is open iTunes on your PC or Mac. You cannot perform a clean install from an iPhone or iPad directly. From the device itself, you can also only update to the latest version of iOS.

First you need to download the firmware file compatible with your device and save it to your desktop. The download will take some time because the file iOS firmware 11 weighs a couple of gigabytes. It is best to brew coffee at this point while loading is in progress.

Step 3 You should now see a button labeled " Restore iPhone". Click on it while holding the left Option key(Mac) or left Shift key(Mac) and select the iOS 11 IPSW firmware file.

Step 4. After selecting the file iTunes firmware will extract it, restore your device and confirm the update at the end.

When everything is ready, you will be booted directly into the IOS 11 welcome screen. From now on, you can customize your device the way you like. Either restore the backup you created or stay on a fresh system if you wish.

That's all. This method is a clean install because you clean the phone and install new version iOS 11.

If you currently have a device like the iPhone 4 in your hands, then you probably would like to know how you can update it to iOS 9.

It is quite normal that people always strive for the newest, because usually newer versions of the OS carry a lot of new useful features.

Let's try to find out if this is possible today. There is an answer and it is very obvious, so I will be happy to share it and talk about my thoughts on this topic.

How to install iOS 9 on iPhone 4?

I'll start a little with statistics and history. Apple always tries to support devices until the most maximum version iOS and the iPhone 4 and 4S are great examples.

The iPhone 4 was released back in 2010 and I don't think you need to say how old the phone is. At that time, he was very, very cool.

Generally speaking, when buying a new device from Apple, you should usually understand that you can get the maximum comfortable use within four years.

Most often, updating an iOS device occurs in the following ways:

• over the air (via Wi-Fi);
• via iTunes.

Unfortunately, if you try to update your iPhone 4, you may get maximum update to version 7.1.2 and no iOS 9 is out of the question.

As soon as this smartphone came out, it had a completely different iOS type and you have probably heard such an expression as skeuomorphism. All OS prior to iOS 7 were built on exactly that.

When iOS 7 appeared, a lot of new features appeared and absolutely everything was completely redrawn. And as you can see, each next version The OS needs better performance.

This system appeared in 2013 and the time of this phone was already coming to an end. Just think what the phone has Apple processor A4 with a single 1GHz core and just 512MB of RAM.

The maximum that can be done is to install Jailbreak and install a bunch of tweaks that can change appearance your system and nothing more.

Results

How is the harsh truth about updating iPhone 4 to iOS 9. You need to understand that the smartphone is already part of Apple stories and no more.

The solution to this situation may be as follows. Today, the market has a very good selection of Android devices that are very tasty in price and pull absolutely all new software.

Or, if you're a true Apple fan, look at older models like the iPhone SE, 6S, and more. In principle, the six is ​​not so bad. For the price, not bad Refurbished options.
