Itching to place this on the new iPhone since I have nothing saved on it yet only having had it for 48 hours, but think I will wait since there is (apparently?) no going back to iOS6 on an A6 chip?

In the meantime, let me throw this Dear Abbey out to the crowd. Now that I have three Apple devices, I would like to create ONE iTunes library between 500GB-1TB large and be able to connect and manage all three devices within that ONE library. Am I looking at making playlists for the iPad and iPhone since their memory capacity is much smaller than the Classic, or is there another way without creating three separate libraries?

The WiFi Seagate drive that Matt posted and RJ also has is definitely in the future, but given current circumstances with my marital status, isn't feasible at this time although Santa may be able to bring me something. Until then, playlists are the way to go? It seems burdensome to manage a 28 GB playlist, is that so? The separate libraries was a pain in the ass on the last Windows OS, but if it has to be done.....

Definitely, 1 library with a playlist for each device. If I can manage my 160gb + iPhone + iPad + Nano + wife's iDevices, you can handle your 3. Just make playlists and sync, nothing to it.

Playlist folders help as well.

I updated three phones yesterday. My iPhone 5, my wife's, and my iPhone 4.
The two fives went quickly, 45min for the first, half an hour for the second. The faster one was updated by wire because it was near capacity.
The four took almost 90 minutes, over the air.

No real hitches.
Loving it.

Ipad 3 took around 3.5 hours via wifi, but I do like it alot so far. I look forward to giving it some serious time on Sunday when I get back in town.

Updated two iPhone 4S's this morning via hardwire (laptop). 35 minutes to download via wifi to laptop, took maybe ten minutes to update each phone via itunes (after backing them up). No problems with the upgrade.

New iOS is gonna take some getting used to, though.

Playlists it is then, thanks.
Liking the new OS so far on the phone, like the Camera app and how many ways you can get to it quickly.

The quick shutter is an awesome camera feature I think too.

Anyone update to iOS 7 on an iPad 2? I've read mixed reviews on the compatibility; cnet seems to suggest it's not worth it, while arestechnica says it's manageable (although not perfect).

Pauging from an iPad 2 running 7 right now. Been loving it. Only issue I've noticed is when I refresh the "all unread topics" page it sometimes doesn't just shows the most recent cached version with topics I've read still showing up.

What have reviews said? This is the first I've heard of any issues on ipad2.

upgraded my ipad 3
I'm not sure I get all the excitement over this
I guess I'm showing my age

one thing I can't figure out in the music app is the output choice. There used to be a little arrow that would let you choose if you wanted the ipad speakers or airport. I don't see that. tried the apple support website, no help so far.

edit - never mind, found it
