How to change the date in iOS and some other settings

Many owners of "apple" devices are very often faced with the need to change the basic settings of the system, but not all imagine how to do it. Consider solving the problems of how to change the date in iOS, change the language and completely rebuild the color gamut of the interface for you. Most of these procedures are very easy, except for changing color schemes, where you can not do without special software.

How to change the date in iOS 6 or 7

Let's start with the date and time, because the "apple" devices are automatically synchronized.

Begin the decision on how to change the date in iOS of any version, since most settings (with rare exceptions) are made from the corresponding section of the main menu, which can be accessed by clicking on the button with the image of gears (Settings).

Next you need to select the general settings line (General) and go to the date and time settings menu. Next, when deciding how to change the date in iOS, you need to take into account that you should immediately disable the automatic detection function, which is installed by default to synchronize settings with Internet resources.

After that, we start choosing a time zone if it does not correspond to the current location of the device owner. In the selection field you can register your own data, the system will immediately issue a list of settlements. In this case, the presence of an active Internet connection is not required, since all information is extracted from its own database.

Then click on the date and time line and set the parameters manually. In some cases, the current year may not be displayed. To search for it, you have to move through the months in the right direction, which may take some time, so be patient. Here, in fact, that's all.

How to change the language on iOS

With language, this is not so simple. Okay, if the default is, for example, English. Any user who understands it at least at the level of the same school program will understand the settings. But what if you got a Chinese gadget? In hieroglyphs and with knowledge, it's much easier to get confused. But there is a way out.

Go to the settings by clicking on the gear button. Next, look for a similar button and click on it. In the list that appears, we find a line with a designation like iTunes Wi-Fi. This item, regardless of the language set, is always written exclusively in English. Now we are interested in an entry that is just above this line.

In the new window we use the very first menu item, which opens a list of available languages for installation. Select the Russian language and click on the inscription in the upper right corner directly under the battery icon. All! Russification is complete, and the device does not need to be rebooted.

Note: you can change the language settings when you first turn on the gadget and activate it for the first time.

Changing your iOS 7 interface

Finally, let's see how to change the color of iOS 7 or the general appearance of some elements. Unfortunately, it is impossible to do this by the standard means of the system itself.

If someone has such a desire, you will have to download special add-ins like BlueBoard from Cydia (to change the color of the keyboard), install trial tweaks like Accentify (to change the color scheme), etc.

By the way, Accentify works perfectly without installing the WinterBoard jailbreak, which is quite cumbersome, and in the program itself there is only one point that allows you to change only the color scheme. However, many more are not required.

Conclusion

If you sum up a certain result, then the change of the basic parameters like time, date, language and others is quite simple, which can not be said about the customization of the interface of "apple" devices. Their creators obviously did not take care of this, or maybe they just did not set this as their goal.
