After first displayed publicly at its annual developer conference in June, Apple has finally released iOS 8 for iPhones
and iPads.
Just days before the Cupertino, Calif.-based technology giant opens its retail stores to sell the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6
Plus, existing smartphone and tablet users can upgrade to the latest mobile operating system.

Though, it may be a few more hours until you get the update, or receive the notification that you're ready to jump to the
latest version. That's because hundreds of millions of Apple's smartphone and tablet users are upgrading at the same
time
The latest software version is is compatible with iPhone 4s handsets and later, iPad 2 tablets and later, iPad mini and
iPad mini with Retina display, and iPod touch (5th generation) devices.
And, don't forget to backup your phone first.
There are three methods of updating: on the device, and through iTunes, or for enterprise deployments.
For the vast majority, updating from the device is easiest and quickest. The update will be ready to download and
install when the notification arrives on the Settings icon on your device's home screen.
iOS 7 users and earlier can upgrade over-the-air on compatible devices by going to Settings > General > Software
Update. However, we saw with the previous update last year that had many users frustrated that the update was slow to
download, or would not finish downloading. It may take repeated attempts.
Because the size of some update files are huge, downloading over a Wi-Fi connection is recommended.

Alternatively, Windows and Mac users can connect their compatible iPhones, iPads, and iPod touch devices to the
latest version of iTunes (which must be installed to use iOS 8), and upgrade by selecting the Check for
Upgrade button in their device's summary window.

In both cases, due to the size of the update, you may have to delete some content from your device.
Or, users can download the software bundle (.IPSW) files from Apple's website for offline installations in the coming
hours. Enterprise users can use Apple's Phobos server for download links.
iOS 8 lands with ten flagship new features, with much of the same user interface and experience as its nearest
predecessor.
It also comes with additional iCloud integration and a number of features that bridge the divide between Apple's mobile
device lineup and its Mac range of hardware, including Continuity and Handoff. And, for the security conscious,
dozens of vulnerabilities and security flaws have been fixed in this latest release.
The software also lands with greater enterprise support for business customers and the bring-your-own-device crowd.

Apple has unveiled the new iOS 8 for all the apple users. It may be hard to get
the new software because so many people are trying to download it at the same
time. You will have to wait for a notification to install the new iOS 8 and that could
be hours. iOS 8 can be downloaded over-the-air on compatible devices by going
to Settings > General > Software Update. iOS 8 has ten new features, but most of the
user interface is the same. It also helps connect Apple mobile devices and Mac. iOS 8
will make a big impact in business and in social life.

Bing-
http://www.cnn.com/2014/09/16/tech/mobile/new-ios-8-features/index.html
I believe that Bing gave me a more specific search for what I was looking
for while Google gave a wide variety. I think the Bing search was better if
you need something exactly. Google will take you many sites, but may not
be exactly what you are looking for. Too many search possibilities from
Google can be confusing to some so Bing is a search engine that will make it
easy.

5. CCBC Library Articles
These articles are good because they came from CCBCs library. I trust
these articles because they come from a library.

Using the Internet search engines was much easier than looking on the
library sources. It was quicker and gave me more articles that were easier to
read. The articles found on the library website are more official and
scholarly. Amateurs who have no authority could write the articles found by
the search engines. You can easily access the articles from search engines
and you can find anything you need.
