Haddii aad isticmaasho iPhone, iPad, ama iPod, fursadaha waa inaad heshay hal ama ka badan oo faylal IPSW qoto dheer oo ku dhex jira qaabka gal ee Mac ama PC. Si kastaba ha ahaatee, waxay u badan tahay inaadan xitaa ogaan doonin haddii aysan ahayn cabbirka faylka. Hal fayl oo IPSW ah ayaa caadi ahaan ku dhaca waqooyiga shan gigabytes, taasina waxay si weyn u saameyn kartaa HDD^(HDDs) -yada gudaha ama SSD^(SSDs) -yada oo leh awood kaydin yar.

Laakiin waa maxay faylasha IPSW? Ammaan ma tahay in laga saaro kumbuyuutarkaaga? Waxaad ka heli doontaa jawaabaha wax kasta oo aad u baahan tahay inaad ogaato hoos.

Waa maxay faylalka IPSW?

Faylka IPSW (oo u taagan iPhone Software , iPad Software , ama iPod Software ) wuxuu ka kooban yahay software-ka nidaamka iyo qalabaynta iPhone, iPad, iyo iPod labadaba. Haddii aad waligaa cusboonaysiisay ama dib u soo celisay aaladda Apple ee Mac ama PC-gaaga, waa waxa ku siinaya iTunes ama app Finder xogta looga baahan yahay habraaca.

Inkasta oo qaabka faylka aan la aqoon, faylka IPSW asal ahaan waa kayd la cufan. Waxaad ku hubin kartaa waxa gudaha ku jira adiga oo isticmaalaya kaydka kaydka ^{(Archive Utility)}Mac ama aaladaha qolo saddexaad sida WinRAR ama 7-Zip on PC  .

Waxaad arki doontaa dhowr faylasha DMG ( Apple Disk Image ) iyo PLIST ( Property List ), oo ay ku jiraan fayl haya iPhone, iPad, ama iPod firmware, haddii aad waligaa doorato inaad soo saarto mid.

Si kastaba ha ahaatee, kaliya iTunes iyo Finder (iyo qaybta saddexaad ee software maamulka qalabka Apple sida iMyFone Fixppo ) ayaa qeexi kara waxa ku jira faylka IPSW .

Sidee loo soo dejiyaa faylasha IPSW?

Mac ama PC-gaagu waxay si toos ah uga soo dejisan doonaan faylka IPSW ee server-yada ^(IPSW)Apple marka aad cusboonaysiiso ama soo celiso aaladda gacanta ee Apple adoo isticmaalaya iTunes ama app Finder^{(using iTunes or the Finder app)} . 

Si kastaba ha ahaatee, kumbuyuutarkaagu wuxuu ogaan karaa xirmo cusboonaysiinta software-ka oo horay loo soo dejiyay oo u dhigma nooca aaladda. Xaaladdaas, waxay soo dejin doontaa fayl cusub oo IPSW ah (oo dib u qori doona nuqulkii hore) kaliya haddii uu jiro nooc cusub oo software-ka (iOS ama iPadOS).

Waxa kale oo aad gacanta ku soo dejisan kartaa faylasha IPSW ee bogga saddexaad sida IPSW.me , kuwaas oo aad isticmaali karto si aad hoos ugu dhigto software-ka iPhone iyo iPad^{(downgrade the system software on the iPhone and iPad)} .

Xagee lagu kaydiyaa faylasha IPSW?

Haddii aad rabto inaad ka hesho meesha laga soo dejiyo faylasha IPSW ee ^(IPSW)Mac ama PC-gaaga, markaa waa tan sida loo sameeyo:

On macOS (Mac):

Fur app Finder oo tabo Command + Shift + G si aad u soo qaadato Go to Folderka ^(Folder)Kadib, ku qor dariiqa galka soo socda oo tabo Gelida^(Enter) :

~/Library/iTunes/

Daaqadaha (PC):^{(On Windows (PC):)}

Riix Windows + R si aad u furto sanduuqa Run . Kadib, ku qor dariiqa galka soo socda oo tabo Gelida^(Enter) :

%appdata%\Apple Computer\iTunes\

Iyada oo ku xidhan aaladaha aad cusboonaysiisay ama aad ku soo celisay iyada oo loo marayo iTunes ama Finder , waxa laga yaabaa in aad aragto ilaa saddex gal oo ay ku calaamadsan yihiin iPhone Software Updates , iPod Software Updates , ama iPod Software Updates gudaha tusaha ka muuqda Finder ama File Explorer . Gal kasta waxa ku jiri kara hal ama ka badan oo faylal IPSW ah.

Talo:^(Tip:) On Mac , waxa kale oo aad ka heli kartaa IPSW files via utility Management Kaydinta^{(Storage Management)} (fur menu Apple oo dooro About Mac this^{(About This Mac)} > Kaydinta^{(Storage )} > Maareynta Kaydinta^{(Storage Management)} > iOS Files ).

Ma tahay inaad tirtirto faylasha IPSW?

Marka aad dhammayso cusboonaysiinta ama soo celinta iPhone, iPad, ama iPod, waxaad si badbaado leh u tirtiri kartaa faylka IPSW ilaa iyo inta aanad qabin wax arrimo ah oo u baahan kara inaad dib u rakibto software-ka nidaamka ee Habka Soo-kabashada^{(reinstall the system software in Recovery Mode)} ama DFU Mode . 

Haddii aad ku qallafsan tahay kaydinta, waxaad weli tirtiri kartaa faylka IPSW iyada oo aan loo eegin (ilaa inta xawaaraha intarneedku aanu walaac ahayn). Finder ama iTunes had iyo jeer waxay dib u soo dejisan doonaan software-ka nidaamka servers-ka Apple haddii ay ku guul darreysato inay hesho fayl ku habboon ama cusub oo IPSW ah.

Intaa waxaa dheer, waxaa laga yaabaa inaad rabto inaad tirtirto faylka IPSW haddii uu xumaaday oo aad ku sii socoto arrimaha markaad cusboonaysiinayso ama soo celinayso iPhone ama iPad. Taasi waa inay mar kale ku dhiirigelisaa Finder ama iTunes inay soo dejiso nuqul cusub oo ka imanaya adeegayaasha Apple .

Ma bedeli kartaa meesha IPSW laga soo dejiyo^{(IPSW Download Location)} ?

Finder iyo iTunes labaduba ma bixiyaan ikhtiyaar la dhisay oo lagu beddelo meesha la soo dejiyo ee faylasha IPSW . Si kastaba ha noqotee, haddii aad qabto arrimo ku saabsan kaydinta laakiin aadan rabin inaad wax tirtirto, xor u noqo inaad nuqul ka sameyso waxa ku jira kaydinta dibadda. Markaa dib ayaad u koobi kartaa haddii aad hadhow u baahato.

Haddii kale, waxaad isticmaali kartaa isku-xireyaasha astaanta ah ee Mac^{(use symbolic links on the Mac )} ama PC si aad u bedesho tusaha kaydiya faylasha IPSW . Laakin haddii aad go'aansatid in aad abuurto calaamadda darawalka dibadda, iska hubi in aadan xirin inta lagu jiro cusbooneysiinta ama soo celinta. Haddii aad sameyso, waxaad ku dhamaan kartaa inaad jebiso iPhone, iPad, ama iPod.

IPSW Files: Hayso^{(Delete Them)} ama Tirtir^(Them)

Si dib loo soo koobo, faylasha IPSW waxay hayaan software-ka nidaamka iyo firmware-ka iPhone, iPad, iyo iPod waxaana la isticmaalaa oo kaliya marka la cusboonaysiinayo ama dib loo soo celinayo qalabkaaga gacanta. Markaa haddii aad ka sii dhammaanayso booska diskooga, si badbaado leh ayaad u tirtiri kartaa. 

Si kastaba ha noqotee, haddii kombuyuutarku leeyahay kayd badan oo bilaash ah, uma baahnid inaad ka walwasho ilaa aad ka shakisan tahay arrimaha musuqmaasuqa faylka ama haddii ay jiraan faylal badan oo IPSW ah qalab kasta oo Apple ah oo aanad isticmaalin.

What Are IPSW Files and Should You Delete Them?

If yоu use an iPhone, iPad, or iPod, chances are yoυ’ve got one or more IPSW files deep within thе folder structure of your Mac or PC. Hоwever, you likely wouldn’t even notiсe them if not for the file size. A single IPSW file typically falls north of a whoрping five gigabyteѕ, аnd that can sіgnificantly impact internal HDDs or SSDs with less storage capacity.

But what are IPSW files? Is it safe to remove them from your computer? You’ll find the answers to everything you need to know below.

What Are IPSW Files?

An IPSW file (which stands for iPhone Software, iPad Software, or iPod Software) consists of both the system software and firmware for the iPhone, iPad, and iPod. If you’ve ever updated or restored an Apple device on your Mac or PC, it’s what provides iTunes or the Finder app with the data required for the procedure.

Despite the unfamiliar nature of the file format, an IPSW file is essentially a compressed archive. You can check what’s inside using the Archive Utility on Mac or third-party tools such as WinRAR or 7-Zip on PC. 

You’ll see several DMG (Apple Disk Image) and PLIST (Property List) files, including a folder holding the iPhone, iPad, or iPod firmware, if you ever choose to extract one.

However, only iTunes and Finder (and third-party Apple device management software such as iMyFone Fixppo) can decipher the contents within an IPSW file.

How Are IPSW Files Downloaded?

Your Mac or PC will automatically download an IPSW file from the Apple servers when you update or restore an Apple mobile device using iTunes or the Finder app. 

However, your computer can detect a previously downloaded software update package that matches the device model. In that case, it’ll download a new IPSW file (and overwrite the older copy) only if there’s a more recent version of the system software (iOS or iPadOS).

You can also download IPSW files manually from third-party sites such as IPSW.me, which you can then use to downgrade the system software on the iPhone and iPad.

Where Are IPSW Files Stored?

If you want to find the download location of IPSW files on your Mac or PC, then here’s how to do that:

On macOS (Mac):

Open the Finder app and press Command + Shift + G to bring up the Go to Folder box. Then, type the following folder path and press Enter:

~/Library/iTunes/

On Windows (PC):

Press Windows + R to open the Run box. Then, type the following folder path and press Enter:

%appdata%\Apple Computer\iTunes\

Depending on the devices you’ve updated or restored via iTunes or Finder, you may see up to three folders labeled iPhone Software Updates, iPod Software Updates, or iPod Software Updates within the directory that shows up in Finder or File Explorer. Each folder may contain one or more IPSW files.

Tip: On Mac, you can also locate IPSW files via the Storage Management utility (open the Apple menu and select About This Mac > Storage > Storage Management > iOS Files).

Should You Delete IPSW Files?

Once you’ve finished updating or restoring an iPhone, iPad, or iPod, you can safely delete an IPSW file as long as you don’t have any issues that may require you to reinstall the system software in Recovery Mode or DFU Mode. 

If you’re crunched for storage, you can still delete an IPSW file regardless (as long as internet bandwidth is not a concern). Finder or iTunes will always re-download the system software from the Apple servers if it fails to locate a matching or up-to-date IPSW file.

Additionally, you might want to delete an IPSW file if it’s corrupted and you keep running into issues while updating or restoring an iPhone or iPad. That should again prompt Finder or iTunes to download a fresh copy from the Apple servers.

Can You Change the IPSW Download Location?

Both Finder and iTunes do not provide a built-in option to change the download location of IPSW files. However, if you have issues with storage but don’t want to delete anything, feel free to copy the contents to external storage. You can then copy them back should you need them later.

Alternatively, you can use symbolic links on the Mac or PC to shift the directory that stores IPSW files. But if you decide to create a symlink to an external drive, make sure not to disconnect it during an update or restore. If you do, you could end up bricking your iPhone, iPad, or iPod.

IPSW Files: Keep Them or Delete Them

To recap, IPSW files hold the system software and firmware for the iPhone, iPad, and iPod and are only used when updating or restoring your mobile devices. So if you keep running out of disk space, you can safely delete them. 

However, if your computer has lots of free storage, you don’t have to worry unless you suspect issues with file corruption or if there are multiple IPSW files for any Apple devices that you no longer use.
