Apple today released iOS 9.

With this update your iPhone, iPad and iPod touch become more intelligent and proactive with powerful search and improved Siri features. New multitasking features for iPad allow you to work with two apps simultaneously, side-by-side or with the new Picture-in-Picture feature.

Built-in apps become more powerful with detailed transit information in Maps, a redesigned Notes app, and an all-new News app. Improvements at the foundation of the operating system enhance performance, improve security and give you up to an hour of extra battery life.

How to update your device wirelessly:
If a message says that an update is available, tap Install Now. You can also follow these steps:
1. Plug your device in to power and connect to the Internet with Wi-Fi.
2. Tap Settings > General > Software Update.
3. Tap Download and Install. If a message asks to temporarily remove apps because iOS needs more space for the update, tap Continue or Cancel. Later, iOS will reinstall apps that it removed. If you tap Cancel, learn what to do next.
4. To update now, tap Install. Or you can tap Later and choose Install Tonight or Remind Me Later. If you tap Install Tonight, just plug your iOS device in to power before you go to sleep. Overnight, your device will update automatically.
5. If asked, enter your passcode.

How to update your device using iTunes:
If you can’t update wirelessly, you can update with iTunes. If your computer uses the Personal Hotspot on the iOS device that you’re updating, connect your computer to a different network.
1. Install the latest version of iTunes on your computer.
2. Connect your device to your computer.
3. Open iTunes and select your device.
4. Click Summary, then click Check for Update.
5. Click Download and Update.

MacDailyNews Take: Good luck, everybody!

Question for you - I know that doing it through iTunes is a lot quicker - and I like to do full backup there first - to computer - rather than iCloud. BUT - I had turned on ‘Encrypted’ a while ago - since it’s supposed to save all password and private data as well. But now I can’t do it because for the life of me I don’t remember the password. What’s the deal? Someone told me that I’m out of luck - I’d have to reimage phone to factory.

Any tips?

You should be able to recover it using your AppleID. . . you can also try looking at your Keychain using your login password for your computer. That's in Utilities.

In depth review of iOS 9.

iOS 9 runs on all the same hardware that ran iOS 8 as well as a few of the things introduced at Apple's September event. Generally speaking, that's great. The iPhone 4S and iPad 2 both showed up in 2011, though both were sold up until last year—most other mobile devices that came out that long ago have long since stopped receiving software updates. The complete list:

• The iPhone 4S, 5, 5C, 5S, 6, 6 Plus, 6S, and 6S Plus.
• The iPad 2, third- and fourth-generation Retina iPads, both iPad Airs, and all three iPad Minis.
• The fifth- and sixth-generation iPods Touch.
