Re: apple forcing updates yet again

2013-10-16 Thread Rory Smith
If my iPhone updates automagically, I will be quite upset.  Let's hope this 
isn't true.  I went through a purposeful exchange to get a 5, that was not 
updated to 7.  If they do create an iOS that won't run on a five, hopefully 
it wouldn't be for awhile.  I am betting I'll be able to run six on my five 
until my favorite app won't work.  That is the likely scenario.  Just my 
.02...ymmv...

Agreed. Plus, eventually, you have to update. I mean, you can't hold off
forever; though maybe you can, as I know some odd ducks still running...

Hi Paula,

I suspect that maybe whoever was helping her might have inadvertently
tapped
Install or said Yes when asked to update, but you still have to Agree
twice
to the Terms and Conditions and I really can't see how if you tap 
Decline

it
would not let you out of the screen.

A couple of weeks ago somebody also posted that iOS 7 installed on their
phone automatically and I mean "installed" not just downloaded and there
is
just no way it would do so because you just have to double tap I Agree
and
then double tap it a second time.

This is especially true where iOS devices are concerned. The update will
almost certainly be inevitable one day. Even when restoring the software to
your phone using iTunes, you'll be forced to install the latest version.

RE: apple forcing updates yet again

2013-10-15 Thread Sieghard Weitzel
Hi Paula,

I suspect that maybe whoever was helping her might have inadvertently tapped
Install or said Yes when asked to update, but you still have to Agree twice
to the Terms and Conditions and I really can't see how if you tap Decline it
would not let you out of the screen.

A couple of weeks ago somebody also posted that iOS 7 installed on their
phone automatically and I mean "installed" not just downloaded and there is
just no way it would do so because you just have to double tap I Agree and
then double tap it a second time.


Regards,
Sieghard

Paula, I would contact the disability support number at Apple.  That is
strange because I have not heard of that happening to anyone.
There were 2 people at our meeting last night who had not upgraded and they
didn't have that problem.  Lots of luck!

apple forcing updates yet again

2013-10-15 Thread Paul and Paula Jordan
Hi, everyone. A coworker has an IPhone 5 running IOS 6.  She does not want
to update right now.  Yesterday someone was helping her with her phone, and
the phone asked if she wanted to update.  The only option was "ok".  There
appears to be no way to get out of that screen.  We tried re-setting the
phone by holding down the lock and home button for 10 seconds and just
turning the phone off and back on again.  There still seemed to be no way to
get out of the update prompt.  Going into the app switcher still didn't
work.  Anyone have any thoughts?  I'm disappointed to see this with no
option to cancel.

Thanks.  

God bless!

Paula and Babe
