Does anyone know what happens in my case when IOS 9 is released?
There are two things I'm interested in - firstly my Ipad Air (not Air 2) - will it be able to split screen run apps and show video as picture in picture or is that limited to just the Air 2?
Secondly, my Iphone 6 is currently running the IOS 9 beta (on IOS 9.1) - when IOS 9 is properly released does this end the beta program and install the regular version on my phone or do I just stay in the beta program and get some more early updates?
I've been really impressed with the beta in terms of stability of the OS and very few snags. The feedback app is great and a couple of faults I have were fixed in the last update.

It'll just see the official release as being available and will update to that, if you want to stay running the latest public beta you have to sign up for those separately There are two things I'm interested in - firstly my Ipad Air (not Air 2) - will it be able to split screen run apps and show video as picture in picture or is that limited to just the Air 2?

My Maverics to Yosemite 'mare:
I have a 2013 Mac Mini. I have the following users, Me (admin), wife (standard), child 1(managed), child 2(managed). After upgradading to Yosemite My account if fine but all the other users have no permissions to their own docs and cannot run apps. Investigating wife account shows that she has no rights to own files and child 3 has read/right. I have tried working through files one by one assigning correct permissions but cannot remove child 3. Gave up and rolled back to Mavericks. What am I doing wrong?

Not being too savvy on this things, will it affect my iPad if I download the upgrade? Confused.com
Which version of the iPad do you have?I'm sure he'll have a better view of it than me but the first pad with retina was the Ipad 3.
This will benefit from the extra battery life and the extra storage from the smaller operating system so I'd say go for it.
As always though, make a backup via itunes first and make sure you either have a good battery level or external power plugged in during the upgrade.
The ipad 3 won't get the picture in picture and slide across dual app function but the extra batt life and memory make it worthwhile.

I've got an old iPad (a 2 I think) and an iPhone 6+, both with entry level storage. Have installed the upgrades without problem there's a lot more space. Also, so far, it does seem to be extending battery life on the phone (which was actually quite good to start with).This will benefit from the extra battery life and the extra storage from the smaller operating system so I'd say go for it.

Comments from my son in law.
Yes, iOS9 extends battery life. Not everyone will see the exact same increase because it depends on what you are doing on your phone and how often you do it.
Basically, the operating system (iOS9) is more efficient which means it uses fewer CPU instructions to do the same tasks as before. Fewer CPU instructions means fewer electrons - less power - is needed.
Regarding the updates issues, remember that there are millions and millions of iPhone users in the UK alone. Let’s say 30 million. If just 1% of them experience problems, that means 30,000 people are hit. 30,000 sounds like a lot and it is enough people to make a story in the press, but in reality it’s only a very small fraction.
