Downloading IOS7 to iphone on computer?
Alright, so I know that if I download the new ios 7 with my data it will use a lot of it. I was wondering if I turn my cellular data off on my iphone, and plug it in to the computer and download it from itunes, with the cellular data off, will it still use a lot of data? Also, is this harmful to my iphone?
Didn't even know you can update via itunes.anyways it will use your computer's internet connection, and if it updates via itunes it shouldn't transmit anything harmful to your phone.
a much simpler way is to update via Wi-Fi though (if you don't have Wi-Fi at home go to a starbucks or use the Wi-Fi in your school)
Wow… Your downloading iOS 7 now? You only need wi-fi… So it IS better to turn off your data and go to a place with Wi-Fi and download iOS 7 there.
DO NOT DOWNLOAD IT! If you like your iPhone, don't download it. I did it and HATE it. The phone goes much slower, screen doesn't respond as fast. You may like it, but I hate it.
IPhones don't plug into computers & provide internet for them to use.
You could download it via iTunes of course using its internet access & then use iTunes to install it to the phone.
Why would that be harmful? For years it was the only way to get updates.
- Trying to update iPhone to iOS7 on new computer? I just got this computer and never hooked up my iPhone 4 with it. I'm pretty sure I just uploaded all my files from the phone to the computer, now it's saying on the phone that I have to plug it back to iTunes, and when I do that it says "must restore and update." But when I press restore, it says I have to erase all my files, but after it I can restore all me memory back onto it. What's going on? What should I do?
- Opinions about downloading IOS7? I have been putting off downloading IOS7 to my iphone because everyone I know who has downloaded it says its horrible.apparently it uses up loads of the battery life. Is that true? What are the pros and cons of IOS7 and what's your opinion of it? Should I download it or put it off for as long as possible?
- Is is mandatory to back up your iPhone before downloading iOS7? Before downloading ios7 tomorrow, do I have to back up my iPhone 4S or do anything else? Is it mandatory?
- Iphone stuck downloading ios7? I downloaded ios7 on my ipad and it was fine. I have an iPhone 4. I'm downloading it from my computer. I checked iTunes and it said error and it couldn't download ios7. ITunes doesn't even show my phone connected to my computer anymore. My phone is now on the screen where it has the apple sign and the loading bar underneath it. It won't finish loading. I know I shouldn't unplug it but what should I do?
