How To Install iOS 7 Update:
iOS 7 can be downloaded in one of three ways; if you do intend to jailbreak your device in the near future, though, do avoid Method 1 – the OTA method – as Cydia isn’t compatible with it.
Make sure that your computer has the most up-to-date version of iTunes on it:
- Launch iTunes and click on Help from the menu bar
- Click Check for Updates
- Wait; if there is an update, iTunes will direct you to install it
Method 1: OTA (Over The Air)
As mentioned, this is NOT compatible with any jailbreak but it is the smallest and fastest update method:
- Open iOS Settings
- Tap General > Software Update
- Make sure your internet connection is working and wait
- When the update is found, tap on Install and let your device update
- It will reboot when done
Method 2: iTunes
- Connect your iPhone or iPad to your PC or Mac
- Launch iTunes and if you have two or more registered devices, click the Summary for the one you connected
- Click the Update button and wait
- When iTunes is done updating, your device will reboot to the new iOS version
Method 3: iTunes with IPSW
This is the most common method for those who want to jailbreak:
- Download the IPSW file for your device (see below)
- Launch iTunes and connect your iPhone or iPad
- Click your device summary (only if more than one device is registered)
- Now press the SHIFT (Windows) or ALT (Mac) key on the keyboard and click Restore at the same time.
- Locate your IPSW file and click it
- Click Install and wait; when iTunes is done updating, your iPhone or iPad will reboot
