iOS 10

Steve, I've heard of some people having problems with the screen rotation lock. Is yours OK? On yours is the rotation lock on/off button still present in the control panel which pops up from the bottom of the screen?

 

Alan and Jean, ios10 isn't compatible with some older devices. 

No problem with rotation on either the pads or the phones. On the pads we have selected to use the side switch to lock rotation, rather than use it to mute. In this mode a mute button is visible on the control panel. If you select the side button to mute your device, the button in the control panel changes to one that locks rotation. On the phones the control panel has the lock rotation one at all times, as there is no side switch option, as there is no side switch.

The update 'appeared' on my iPhone a day or so ago and I updated last night. iPad had no such message and it tells me that my iOS 9.3.5 software is up to date? it's an iPad 2.

Write your comments here...The update appeared on my iPhone a couple of weeks before it did on the iPad. It'll be there eventually.

iOS10 isn't compatible with iPad 2, nor is it compatible with iPhone 4S or earlier.

Basically, if your device has a 30 pin connector (i.e. not a lightning connector) then iOS is not available to you.

Cheers, Steve. iPad Air2 doesn't have the side switch either but it seems the button will still be present in the control panel as on 9.3.5.

I've got four updates pending on this IPad 2. I'll have to make sure that I Dont get tangled up with IOS10

 This IOS 10 update seems to spawned a plethora of app updates

I did think that my iPad was an iPad 2 but it does have the lightening connector. I've just looked at the box and it doesn't give any indication what number it is. I have had it two years or more though. Perhaps it's a 3

Might be an iPad Air 2......?

Type of I-pad

No camera-    I-pad 1

camera and wide connector        I-pad 2or3

small connector.          I-pad 4 or air

If you go to Settings / About you can pick up the model number. Put the number in Google and it will tell you the name of the model.

My model number is MGKL2B/A and Google tells me that's an Air2 64gb in space grey - correct.
