IPhone and iPad ios 7 problems with no developers account

Way back in july, i got ios 7 beta versions for free without an apple developers account. Now that ios 7 is out, it wouldn't update normally, so now i'm stuck on "activation required" on my lock screen for both my ipad and iphone. I went through it, not thinking much, and it won't let me in "because i need to have my apple developer account registered". I tried connecting it to my computer, but the "session times out".

Thank you for giving me the opportunity to answer your question.

You have the same issue I came across today. Where the beta of iOS 7 expired and I had the same requirement of activation.

In order to fix this. Go to the following web site…

http://www.redmondpie.com/ios-7.0.2-download-for-iphone-5s-5-4s-4-ipad-ipod-touch-released/

and scroll down the page to the download links for the different iOS devices. Choose the download for your specific device. Once downloaded go to iTunes and plug in your iOS device.

Select the iOS device so you have the main information screen for your device. For Mac… Hold the option key and click the update button. For PC… Hold the shift key and click the update button.

You will now have a window drop down to choose the file you just downloaded. Drag the file into that window and click choose or go thru the menu to your default download folder and choose the file and click choose.

iTunes will now unpack the update and check with Apple servers for authentication. You will have to wait for it to do the update and you will then have to log into your iCloud account if you have "Find My iPhone/iPad" on in your previous setup. Once activated you are good to go.

Enjoy the General Release and update of iOS 7.

Thank you for your time.

  • What does For Developers mean? So recently Apple released an iOS 7 Beta version and it says "For Developers". What does that mean? Can i get it for my iPhone 4?
  • Websites describing job prospects for iPhone app developers? I'm looking for some websites which describe possible career options in developing apps for iPhones, other smart phones and PDAs. I'm aware of jobs available in this field and have also collected materials from Internet. But I'm looking for articles by reputed publishing houses. The articles should explain existing job opportunities and expected trend in future.
