Sorry, I was not very clear. I was talking about the initial upgrade; on older devices, the first release of a new iOS number can be slow or cause other problems.

Things may be fine, but I'd wait a bit to make sure before upgrading. On Jul 2, 2014, at 10:22 AM, Sieghard Weitzel <siegh...@live.ca> wrote:
