iPad: Can the iPad update its OS without having a computer to download and interface for it?

Posted on by

Question by Fuzzy: iPad: Can the iPad update its OS without having a computer to download and interface for it?
I have the iTouch. When a new OS comes out, it is downloaded via the iTunes program and uploaded into the iTouch via the iTunes program. It does not to my knowledge have the ability to upgrade its own OS.

Is the iPad also dependent on a “mother” computer and iTunes on that computer to update its OS?

Best answer:

Answer by HondaMan
I have 2 iPhones and an iPod and have used iTunes for about 6 yrs now. You are only able to get software updates via syncing with iTunes. As far as I know it is only possible to update apps from the device itself- although you can also do that through iTunes, too. So to answer your question specifically… YES… you need iTunes for Mac or PC- they’re both free 🙂 Hope this helps!

iPhone Development in Debugger

iPhone Development in Debugger
Iphone options

So this chapter (chapter 4) had me learning more elements that can go on the screen. So now I know about textfields, switches, buttons, segments, and subviews.

I’m not done the chapter yet, but I thought I’d take a quick screen shot and post how my programming background is helping me get through these lessons a bit faster.

So the action I attached to the button was to make a call to the doSomething method, but I haven’t yet implemented the code. So what I did was put in a print statement that shoots out some text every time I click the button. The only way to get this console to show up is to compile in debug mode.

I’ve been reading this book for the past 3 days, and not once did they mention anything about the debug mode, or different compiling options.

Don’t get me wrong, the book is still really good, but my prior knowledge is helping me get through it a bit faster. (not fast enough in my opinion)
