Carrier settings updates updating... & updating... &...

My iPad's carrier settings updates http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1970 are updated again and again, every time iTunes starts up or my iPad gets in its reach.
Am I the only one? And does anyone know what I might do about it?
Thanks a lot!

Did you manage to fix the problem?  I just posted the same exact question...

  • HT201270 I have an iPad 3rd gen. A carrier settings update notification has appeared on my screen, and it doesn't do anything when I press either 'update' or 'not now' . Because the notification is still there, I am unable to use any apps or shut it down.

    Have you tried a reset by pressing and holding the sleep/wake button and the home button for 20 seconds (maybe longer) until the Apple logo appears, ignore the red slider.  Then turn back on. You won't lose any data doing the reset.

  • I inherited my husband's iphone 4s. After erasing all of the previous settings, updating to ios 8 I went on icloud to set it up.  During the set up, the screen froze on "carrier settings update". I can reboot, but the message comes right back.

    This is a phone re-set from a previous user.  Reset from icloud. Froze during set up, on "carrier settings update" and has the phone number pad with it. I reboot but it comes back and I can't get past it.

    Hey Jackie,
    Welcome to Apple Support Communities,
    Take a look at the article linked below, it provides troubleshooting suggestions that’ll solve issues like the one that you've described, where your iPhone 4s has a blank black screen.
    Get help with the screen on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
    If you see a solid color screen (black, white or blue)
    Plug in your device to a power source. If you see the low-battery screen when you plug in, let your device charge for at least 10 minutes (20 minutes for iPad) before using it.
    Reset your device while it's plugged in.
    If resetting doesn’t fix the issue, restore your device.
    If you still see the issue after you restore, contact Apple Support.
    Cheers,
    -Jason

  • 4G LTE iPhone 5: Carrier Settings Update never came

    Hello,
    Just to say, before I start: This question is related to Switzerland's Swisscom's 4G LTE network and iPhone 5.
    I have updated to iOS 6.1 (for Swisscom 4G LTE compatibility, it's now compatible), but didn't get the carrier settings update, and when I reset the iPhone (including erase all content), I got the Carrier Setting Update and it enabled 4G LTE, but I have progressed in lots of apps and games (mainly apps), and it will be very difficult to do a full restore and recover all my progress etcetera. How can I get the Carrier Settings Update? I went to Swisscom, and they said to erase the iPhone, but again this would be a big inconvenience and I am trying to avoid it.
    Sorry about any problems: I'm not very tech savvy with iOS devices, and this is my first post here so I may have put in the wrong section.
    Thanks a lot in advance

    Well, I've connected my phone to iTunes, and still nothing has come. My friend's iPhone 5 did have enable LTE, when he updated and I believe he got it over the air, and didn't connect it to iTunes. iTunes is still syncing...
    Thank you very much for helping
    It's suddenly appeared. My three friend's iPhone 5's carrier settings update came straight away after updating this morning (we updated together), and mine has come about 7 and a half hours later... but still, it's come. I don't think this was related to iTunes (by the looks of it).
    Thanks a lot for helping me, and for the quick replies.

  • How to Remove "carrier settings updates"

    Hello
    do you know how to remove carrier settings updates downloaded from Itunes?
    Thanks

    The bottom of this document tells you where they are on your computer. I suppose you could delete them. There's nothing about deleting them from the phone.

  • Carrier Settings update. New settings are available would you like to update now? Is this safe to do?

    SInce updating to iOS 8.3 I keep getting a prompt: Carrier Settings Update. Would you like to update them now? What does it mean and is it safe?

    Yes.
    You carrier is updating the information on your iPhone.  You should always do these updates.

  • HT201270 My ipad is displaying the carrier settings update box but does not respond to either the "update now" button or the "not now" button and has totally frozen. The ipad cannot switch off as I need to clear this box before I can "slide to shut down".

    Can anyone help me with carrier settings??? My ipad is displaying the carrier settings update box but will not respond when I press "update" or "not now". I have tried to switch the ipad off, but cannot "slide to shut down" as I need to clear the carrier settings box first!! HELP PLEASE!!!!

    Have you tried a reboot? Hold down the power and home buttons simultaneously. Ignore the Slide to Power Off prompt if it pops up. The display should go dark, and the Apple logo should appear as it begins a reboot. This is a soft reboot - it does not erase data.

  • Carrier settings update

    Hello . i'm alex and i have an iphone 4 iOS 4.0.1 and a have a problem. My network name is COSMOTE and i can't update carrier settings. when i go to settings>general>about there is no promt message and the same in itunes. so i can't use facetime too ... can you help me please?

    You will need to confirm if Costmote supports MicroSIM cards on their network. What ever application they are using to manage customer account information may not be compatible with MicroSIM serial numbers. Do not cut an older series SIM card to the size of the MicroSIM. Doing so will void your warranty. Also MicroSIM are different than older SIM cards by providing better encryption and enhanced features such as increased entry fields and better connectivity with cellular towers.

  • IPad and constant carrier settings update requests

    Hi, I recently updated to my MacBook Pro to Mac OS X 10.7.4 and my iPad to iOS 5.1.1. Now, every time i plug my iPad into my MacBook Pro and iTunes launches, it tells me I need to update my carrier settings.
    …every time!
    What's going on?

    Same here.
    I was working better than ever with the 3G signal.
    Since the carrier update, it is sporadic. Especially at home.
    I know this because when EDGE kicks in my radio goes crazy with static.
    I get 3G half the time while at home.
    I know the carrier update says nothing about improving signal. Maybe it is coincience.
    I dont know.
    The static on EDGE drives me crazy...

  • Are the "Carrier settings update" as invasive as it sounds?

    I keep getting the prompt to update "carrier settings" and even though I cancel, it comes back. I read the page dealing with it on the Apple support, but it seems to say Apple wants to collect information about me, my use and possibly content from my carrier. I'm not ok with that. Am I getting it wrong? If I'm right, can they legally make it mandatory for me to download? Can I turn it off somehow without downloading it?
    Thanks

    TY, I started getting it 3 days ago and had never seen it before either. This is all they have to say about it.

  • HT201270 Problem with iPad carrier settings update

    I have done this update and now I get a repeat message to do it again every time I sync my iPad. How can I stop this happening?

    I have exactly the same problem, I am in the UK on the O2 network.  It is definitely a network provider problem, I can tell you exactly when this problem started for me. In the UK there was new legislation brought in to block the Pirate Bay domain.
    Ever since the the carriers in the UK had to update their settings on their mobile devices this problem started and it seems to be absolutely no way to get it resolved.
    I have tried, in vain, to get O2 to do something to this problem that they are unable to do so.

  • HT1349 Carrier settings update

    The above message appear on my iPad and I can not unlock it or remove it off my screen. My iPad then turns off every 5 screen.

    Have you tried a reset ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
    Then go into Settings > General > About and see if you can download the update : http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1970

  • AT&T Carrier Settings Update

    This morning I plugged my iPhone in to my computer and opened iTunes. I wanted to do a restore. I clicked on "Check for New Updates" just for the heck of it, and an AT&T software Update appeared.
    It installed quickly. After I restored my iPhone, it asked to install the AT&T software again, so I guess when you restore, you need to install the update each time??
    Here is what I got.....

    It looks like ATT is getting ready for this:

    But the update must contain more just the two images mentioned in the article you linked to above, or it would not fix the connectivity problems so many people encountered.
