The way to update your iPhone, iPod and iPad - iOS 6?


      You want to get your hands on more than 200 new features in iOS 6 ? Here is a small guide to perform the update to iOS 6 on your iPhone, iPod Touch or iPad . The first important thing is to check what are the devices that can receive iOS 6?

Devices compatible with iOS 6

      While the new iPhone, the fifth of the name, comes with iOS 6, you may want to also upgrade some Apple devices you have to take advantage of the latest version of the iOS platform. Here is the complete list of devices compatible with iOS 6 :
  • iPhone 3GS
  • iPhone 4
  • iPhone 4S
  • iPod Touch (4 th generation)
  • iPod Touch (5 th generation)
  • iPad 2
  • The new iPad (3 rd generation)

Limited functionality

     Before being totally excited to have this new version, there are certain features that only work on some devices . For example, Siri is only available on iPhone 4S, iPhone 5, iPad (3rd generation) and iPod touch 5th generation. Another novelty will be available on some devices (iPhone 4S, iPhone 5 and iPod Touch 5th generation), Panorama! This new feature allows you to capture a very large family reunion, or a landscape. With a simple movement, capture an image of 240 degrees, horizontally or even vertically. Hardware and software then begin to work to create a high resolution panorama perfectly homogeneous.

How to upgrade to iOS 6

      You have two basic options for updating your device to iOS 6 : either wireless (which will take some time) or connect via iTunes. As before each manipulation of the devices, especially when it comes to update the OS is starting to make a backup.
      If you want to update iOS 6 for OTA Over The Air , is a technology for accessing data from a SIM card remotely. To do this, go to:"Settings> General> Software Update, and choose iOS 6" . Press the setup screens and wait until the device restarts (it would be wise to connect, especially if the battery is low). Spend a few setup screens and you're done!
Know that it will be much faster to use iTunes. Please note that you will have to upgrade your version of iTunes before continuing (once launched iTunes, go to "Check for updates ..." . connect your device, select it in the left column and click on "Check updates " . Consequently, choose "Download and Update" , pass the various setup screens and wait ... Leave your device connected until it reboots, then after a few configurations you're done.
Make sure you do not unplug or turn off during the update and it should go like clockwork.

Problems updating to iOS 6

     Each major deployment as it inevitably leads to some problems . If you encounter problems updating to iOS 6 do not hesitate to post a comment at the bottom of the article, and if you find a solution, let us know. I will publish a list and some possible solutions in this article.

Can not connect to iTunes Store

      If you encounter this message when you click the link to the App Store, do not worry. You can try the following fix: Go to "Settings> General> Date & Time> Automatically> Off" .
Now, set the date a year earlier in 2013. Go back and try to update the application again. If you get an error message, reset the time automatically, and restart your device.
