I-pad question

[Blonde Granny]

I d/l YNAB last weekend and wanted to get the app for my Ipad and Iphone d/l and installed.  It tells me for both phone & ipad that I must update to ioS 7.0 in order to download and use this application.

Is something awful going to happen if I do this and if not, where do I find the update to do it? and do I have to do both or does one automatically go into the other one?

The iOS updates are automatically pushed to your iPhone/iPad. You should see a software upgrade notification under Settings --> General --> Software Update.

It says there is only 1 update available and it's iOS 8.1.2 (that's my iPad)  It's the same update available for the phone.  I've never d/l any other updates...in fact the last time I remember seeing anything, it said there were 11 I believe.

So, is something awful going to happen if I do this?? It's not vital that I have access to YNAB on my phone and Ipad.

No  Something WONDERFUL might happen. You will have access to more apps and features and usually the phone operates much better because the iOS upgrade removes kinks and bugs from your current iOS. The look and feel might change a bit too.

However, if you have any sensitive data or personal info stored on either your iPad or iPhone, I'd first remove it and store it elsewhere before updating. I've never had any issues with any updates, but like any technology, you never know

Newer iOS version are sturdier than older ones, so its always better to upgrade.

What iPhone version do you have?

I have an iPhone 5 and it's 2 years old.  I seldom use it, that's why I wonder if it's worth it to put YNAB on both of them.  I probably wouldn't do anything with it.  Dh doesn't have a phone and we're usually together.  We've been retired for 19 years now, but someties I just like new toys to play with.

You can skip the upgrade if you want to. But be aware that in the future you might HAVE to because Apple will stop supporting old iOS altogether.

I have iPhone 5 too. Did not have any problems upgrading to new iOS.

If you are too scared to do it yourself, take it to the Apple store. The employees there will help you upgrade without losing data.

The neares a Apple store is in Orlando, that's about 2 hours from us.  I think I'll just forget it.  The old "if it ain't broke" thinking.

I haven't downloaded the new OS to my iPad.  I heard it is a memory hog and my iPad is maxed out as it is.  It requires 5 GB of memory and I am using what I have, so would have to do some major deleting (I am using 29 GB of my 32 GB iPad).


So check your memory first and see if you have enough space.
