Seriously? You read nothing from the thread you posted in?


You cannot update an iPhone 4 beyond iOS 7.1.2


You cannot update to iOS 8

You cannot update to iOS 9

You cannot update to iOS 10

You cannot update to iOS 11


You cannot update to any iOS version after 7.1.2



Hopefully, that should clear up some things

Every time I go to software update it says it up to date already with 7.12 but every time I go to download app if won't let me saying I need ios 8 but it want let me update

That is because the app has been developed to work with iOS 8 or above, and your iPhone is not capable of running iOS 8, so it won't work. As discussed many times throughout this entire thread, the iPhone 4 does not have the hardware capable to running an iOS higher than 7.1.2, but developers have upgraded their apps to run on iOS 8 or above. So, you will see the error that the app requires iOS 8 or above, however you will be unable to update the phone's iOS, so you cannot update the app or run a newer app that requires iOS 8 or above.

Are we doing city names as well? We're going to run out of "A" countries pretty soon.

That's a common problem with Geography. We play that any geographical entity is allowed, but you get to make up your own rules.


It can also be played with animal species, Star Wars locations or people, Lord of the Rings, etc. A great many variations.

If so: Burkina Faso.


I here its lovely this time of year.

No. It's a game called "Geography". You have to give a place name that begins with the last letter of the previous country. So, although Burkina Faso is no doubt quite lovely, it is, sadly, a wrong answer.

Ahh, my mistake. I humbly retract my post.

Gail and I figured the thread out to be good for something.
