I tried around 6 PM but it told me it would take 9 hours and then it quit after 1/2 hour. I'll try the end of the week.

I updated my iPhone and iPad. Took a few tries due to everyone else trying to upgrade today but once it started it did not take long at all. 20 minutes or so. However I do not like the new graphics. They went from 3D to flat graphics. Maybe I will get used to it but my wife does not want to upgrade her iPhone and iPad. She only uses the phone and email and what she has now works just fine and is prettier looking.

Finished updating. Looks different but I am not impressed yet.

Do not like the new calendar display

As far as the changes in the graphics, it smacks of change for the sake of change......I thought the previous version was fine.

I use the calendar a lot and I do not like the changes in the 7. On the previous version when you went to a given day it displayed any events on that day. The new one when you go to the day you have to scroll to see/find what is there.
To me that is a step backward.

In the next few days I will get to see what functions are better. I have an iPhone 4, so I don't expect any significant changes.

To see the "List View" on the new calendar just tap the 'magnifying glass' in the upper right hand corner.

I upgraded my iPhone 5 to iOS 7 and showed it to my wife. She said to leave her iPhone 4s alone with iOS 6.

I also upgraded my desktop and laptop to Windows 8 and left her laptop at Windows 7.

I noticed this morning that you are forced to update your itunes to ver 11.1. For me, that will take the rest of the day while my music library indexes. I'll have to do the IOS update on my ipad tonight after work (why am I still working?)

I installed IOS7 last night....still trying to decide if I like it or not. Things are different that's for sure. Will work with this new version when I can today and try and familiarize myself with the new look, functions, design.

Do not like the icon boxes, I grouped them and the older version was easier visually, for me. The Photos section looks interesting.

Will take a bit of practice, but one thing I do know, until I gain proficiency with this new version, I won't be letting my Mom in law install it....will confuse the heck out of her.

Question, how the heck does one change what is in FAVORITES, that plus sign at the top right with this new system? I'm having a senior moment and can't find out what to do?

I find the information here useful but please put which version of which device you're updating .... such as

"I updated my IPHONE 4

In Safari:

1. Tap the 3rd icon from the right - the book.
2. Tap 'edit' - lower right hand corner.
3. Tap one of the bookmarks (not the red dot) and then under "location" choose the folder you want to put the bookmark in.
4. It's the same method if you want to move bookmarks out of favorites.

It's an ios7 thread. That must be what he did.
