Many owners of "apple" devices very often are faced with the need to change the basic settings of the system, but not everyone knows how to do this. Let's look at solutions to the problems of how to change the date in iOS, change the language and completely rebuild the color scheme of the interface for yourself. Most of these procedures are very easy, apart from changing color schemes, where you can’t do without special software.
How to change the date in iOS 6 or 7
Let's start with the date and time, since automatic synchronization is set in the "apple" devices.
To begin solving the question of how to change the date in iOS of any version, it follows that most settings (with rare exceptions) are made from the corresponding section of the main menu, which can be entered by clicking on the button with the image of gears (Settings).
Next, select the General Settings line and go to the date and time settings menu. Next, when deciding how to change the date in iOS, you need to consider that you should immediately turn off the automatic detection function, which is set by default to synchronize settings with Internet resources.
After that, we proceed to the choice of time zone if it does not correspond to the current location of the device owner. You can enter your own data in the selection field, the system will immediately display a list of settlements. However, an active Internet connection is not required, since all information is extracted from its own database.
Next, click on the date and time line and set the parameters manually. In some cases, the current year may not be displayed. To find it, you will have to move months in the right direction, which may take some time, so be patient. That, in fact, is all.
How to change the language on iOS
The language is not so simple. Well, if the default is set, for example, English. Any user who understands it a little bit at the level of the same school curriculum will understand the settings. But what if a Chinese gadget falls into your hands? In hieroglyphs and with knowledge, getting confused is simple. But there is a way.
We go into the settings by clicking on the button with gears. 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 installed language, is always written exclusively in English. Now we are interested in the record located just above this line.
In the new window we use the very first menu item, which opens the list of languages available for installation. We select the Russian language and click on the inscription in the upper right corner directly below the battery charge icon. All! Russification is completed, but the device does not need to be rebooted.
Note: you can change the language settings the first time you turn on the gadget and its initial activation.
Change the interface of iOS 7
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 with standard tools of the system itself.
If someone has such a desire, you will have to download special add-ons 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 fine without installing the WinterBoard jailbreak, which is rather cumbersome, and there is only one item in the program that allows you to change only the color scheme. However, many do not need more.
Conclusion
To summarize, then changing basic parameters like time, date, language and others is quite simple, which cannot be said about customizing the interface of "apple" devices. Their creators clearly did not take care of this, or maybe they simply did not set it as their goal.
