" iOS4 was released by Apple just before the new iPhone 4 release, which is now world "famous" . iPhone4 includes the long awaited multitasking functions apps improvements and many other improvements. To get all these benefits you don't have to purchase the new iPhone. If you already own an older versions of iPhone 3GS, iPod Touch, by upgrading to iOS4 you can get all (well almost) the new features!. This article is about giving you some tips before installing the new Apple iPhone OS "
After the initial release of the new iPhone OS by apple many users who upgraded to the new version complained about some difficulties such as backing up refusing to finish, errors while downloading it etc. Anyway with some hesitation I went there and did it! and actually I didn't encounter any errors either. But then again I did follow some basic instructions and below are my tips for upgrades.
* First of all if you haven't heard yet, Apple did give a release note and also installation steps. Here it is. this could solve many pre-upgrading errors.
* Make sure to update your iTunes to the latest version. Here's the external link.You can easily get the updates and let it auto install within the iTunes software also.
* Click on the device on iTunes to start the back-up process (make sure to connect the device)
* When the back-up is finished click the "restore" button. Click "OK" to the next message which says this will restore the iPhone or iPod touch etc to its default setting.
* Then the automated process of iOS4 installation (including driver, firmware etc updates) begins.
* To make sure that iOS4 is fully installed - go to settings - general category - about (it should inform 4.0)
* Now we are ready to restore your previously saved (backup) data. To do that,
1. Choose your device and right click on it
2. Select "Restore from Backup"
3. Select your most recent Backup
This will restore all of your apps, screen settings etc. Please note that all the data that you don't sync automatically you'll have to copy and paste them manually. Yep, that it!.
Anyway my upgrade to the iOS4 was extremely smooth and easy (apart from, that I had to manually copy my audios and many other data I didn't sync). The new look n feel of the newly installed iOS4 also looks great including the new lock-on wallpaper and many other apps improvements and the most important of all the added multitasking function.
However the multitasking is limited to few applications with iPhone 3GS and iPod touch etc. For a brief review about the iOS4 please follow this link.
