Often new computer operating systems (or iOS for mobile devices) create problems for users with older hardware devices. In addition we sometimes experience incompatibilities with Apps which are yet to be updated and optimized for these operating systems.

This is why we delayed the introduction of iOS 8 on the iPad. We appreciate the patience of our hundreds of staff, students, and families as they wait for our planned migration to the new iOS this year.
There are four major benefits of waiting to upgrade in these situations:
1. Software developers have time to catch up and update their Apps to be compatible with the new operating system.
2. Apple has time to improve and release their own OS and iOS updates in response to problems they identify.
3. This extra time also provides the San Domenico technology team time to analyze how the new OS impacts the important Apps we rely on in our daily work.
4. Our team can develop strategies and provide instructions on the update process for our users.

Contact us via the tech support system if you have any questions before you update your iPad or if you experience problems afterward.
Of course, as always, please remember to perform your backups before moving ahead.
