Thanks!
So is iTunes Radio free? I see a price in the upper right corner of a song playing. I assume that's if I want to buy it. Not that I'm being charged.
Also, I don't have any music downloaded into my phone, yet I'm seeing my library in music.

So I downloaded it to my phone without iTunes and when I hit "install now" it shows "verifying update" for awhile then comes back with "software update not available at this time. Try again later".
I don't care about not getting it done, just curious if it's downloaded to my phone already, why isn't it available?
I'm assuming it's still trying to connect to the Apple servers.

same with me. i just think the servers are overloaded. It must have to connect to do some verification stuff.So I downloaded it to my phone without iTunes and when I hit "install now" it shows "verifying update" for awhile then comes back with "software update not available at this time.

iTunes Radio is free with adds. Yeah the price you see is the price you pay if you want to own the song.
Not sure why you see your library unless maybe you have iTunes Match.
BTW with the price of iTunes Match $25/year you get iTunes Radio add free.

Only listned to a half dozen songs with iRadio but I'm digging it. I like how I can be working on something and the artist and song pops up in the upper corner. I like the history of the songs so I can got back and look into the artist further.
Not sure how much better it will be then any other streaming service but with it being integrated into the hardware I use and the price being good when you include iTunes Match it will be the first streaming service I pay for.

Help an idiot, please.
- Correct me if I am wrong, but the 5s is also coming out on Friday, they are only having any pre-orders for the 5c? (Don't get that, but that is just me.)
- I have a 4, and I was eligible for an upgrade in February. I haven't done so, because of my unlimited data plan, which I really don't need, just because of it's endangered-ness, I am wary of getting rid of it! The Verizon site says it is worth $120 in recycle, can I use that $$$ to help pay for this transaction? Or can I use it towards other Verizon bills? We pay lots towards FIOS!!
- Does anyone use the hotspot? I have a data plan on my iPad, and am thinking of going higher on my iPhone with the hotspot, and eliminating the data plan. This results in a small savings.
- What is the big difference between the 5c and the 5s? Again, for an idiot.

My coworker did his via cell signal and it took him all of 20 minutes start to finish with zero issues. Downloaded it in downtown LA at lunch time, so no lack of bandwidth being used in the area.

Had this issue 2x. Finally worked when plugged in. Not sure if there is a connection there.So I downloaded it to my phone without iTunes and when I hit "install now" it shows "verifying update" for awhile then comes back with "software update not available at this time. Try again later".

So far: Eh. The design does NOT lend itself to busy backgrounds. I took away my personalized background and I like the look better.
Took me a minute to figure out how to close apps in the dock (flick up).
Not sure I like the multipage folders as much.
New typography is pretty cool...
Like the "Zoom" effect transitioning between apps. If it were any slower it'd be annoying though.
Some of the new icons are sorta random looking...don't really have as much of a "Family" look
New camera is okay.
New photos section is kinda confusing... will have to play wiht that more.
Overall... its a solid refresh but I'm not sure it's quite as great as it was sold as.
Interface is fluid and snappy with no hangs thus far
An app or two will start to load but will crash and I can't get them to open. That sucks.

Stupid complaint, but I can't use any of my previous photos as backgrounds and they can't be scaled down to fit the screen.
Leeroy Jenkins
Footballguy
Really? My photos that were my background previously were automatically there already.

I don't have iTunes Match but a lot of my iTunes library is showing up under songs/artists with the little download from iCloud icon. What means this?
AcerFC
Footballguy
those are songs you purchased. If you hit the cloud, it downloads to phone
Billy Bats
Footballguy
Oh they were there but now they're oversized and don't fit, none of my photos do. Weird.

Possible battery saver. Just scanning through the settings app I came across something I don't remember seeing in ios6: Background App Refresh.
Settings>General>Background App Refresh and turn that crap off. Not sure how important it is but it tells you it may save battery life by turning it off.

I haven't found a way to fix this either. Oh well my 140 hour download makes me feel somehow better this fine morning.

I believe this is the new multi-tasking feature. It used to be that you had to open the app for it to be running. So things like Facebook posts wouldn't update until you switched back to that app. Now they'll update no matter what app you're using.
I believe that's what that is.

if you haven't installed it yet, it's listed on the Software Updates page under Settings. Tap "Learn More"
culdeus
Footballguy
It's basically the way WebOS handled it, if not an exact copy of how they did multi-tasking. It's not quite the Android method, but it's as close as they will get. They even went so far as to copy the "card" swipe system.
Leeroy Jenkins

I really am liking the look and feel of this. It's more intutive IMO. My 2 complaints are there seems to be a slight lag in going from unlock to home or locking. Also, is it taking 2 taps now to scroll all the way up in safari? It seems to be taking 2 for me. I wish they put a scroll to bottom tap in!
Is this worth installing on an ipad?

Love the upgrade from a camera roll sending pictures standpoint. Now you can go into camera roll and select multiple pictures to send to one email. Before I had to send each photo individually.

settings>notifications
Make sure stocks are clicked on, also have "today view" set to on.
Billy Bats
Footballguy
That makes sense and something I don't need. Well I left maps turned on, I'm guessing that lets it continue the directions when the phone is locked? Left it on just in case, everything else is off.
The Flying Turtle
Footballguy
Go to settings , notification center and you can add stocks.
I do not see an area to add weather though, I need that!
Abraham
Footballguy
Ah, I see it now. It's already there. I have to scroll down to see the stocks and they are listed veritcally. I really liked the old version that was a horizontal scroll. Took up less space. I wish the pull-down tray was a "one page" view of things like it used to be. I don't like having to scroll down to find things.

I think this was asked earlier but I can't find it. Is there more resale value in a 4S that's running the most recent ios6 or the new 7? Does it matter?

Imagine it ranges from no difference to VERY slight preference for 7 in direct private sale.

unlocked and jailbroken phones usually command a $50 premium. Now that unlocking is so easy that premium may have diminished quite a bit. I haven't checked lately.
In general if you want to sell your phone in the future do NOT update OS on each drop.
They may drop a 614 j/b at the same time as the 700 for legacy devices. 614 j/b is in beta now.
