IOS 7.0.2 security update

I expected this security update to prevent making phone calls via Siri when the iPhone is locked, but I still can.  A theif could run up my phone bill, if not worse. Is this considered reasonable?

What is reasonable is to enable Find My iPhone under Settings > iCloud, make sure you have regular backups to iCloud or iTunes, and then if the device goes missing, immediately contact your carrier to suspend your service and use the Find My iPhone feature on www.icloud.com or the Find My iPhone App on another iOS device to remote wipe your device.

  • ITunes no longer syncs to iPhone or iPad after iOS security update

    I did the iOS security update on my iPhone 5 and my iPad Air.  Now, iTunes will not sync with either device - neither one.  In both cases, I get the error message "iPhone5 (or iPad) can not be synced.  An unknown error occured (1140)."
    I then did the iTunes update that just came out - still the same problem.
    The Mac is a MacBook Pro 2.4 GHz Intel Core 7 running OSX 10.7.5.  Everything worked fine before the iOS security update.
    What is going on?  What to do?

    Finally, I had time to do a on-line support session with the Apple Care help people (excellent).  We went through and verified a lot of things.  Finally, he had me run the disk utility and run "repair disk permissions".  That resolved things and it works now.
    Also related is that the iOS 7.1 update installed a lot of stuff on the iPhone - including iMovie, Numbers, Pages, Keynotes - stuff that I will use on the iPad but not on the iPhone.  The result of automatically installing all these things on the iPhone was to but it way over the limit on memory.  I deselected thos apps (and a few others) plus some movies and am now below the memory limit on the iPhone.
    Things are now working well with both the iPhone and iPad - both syncing correctly.  So, with that, I will close out this case.

  • The Iphone 4 patch IOS 7.6 is suppose to be a security update but it freezes the phone and doesn't reset. Help I need my phone. What makes the phone go back to normal? There is nothing but a simulated plug in wire and an ITunes icon on a black screen.

  • Will Apple still provide security updates\patches to iOS 5.1.1?

    Can someone please confirm if will Apple still provide security updates and patches to iOS 5 (5.1.1)?
    I really really hope the answer is YES because iOS 5 was released less then a year ago (October 12, 2011)... So I truly hope Apple is not throwing us under the bus here? I mean even Microsoft provides OS security patch support for 10 years so please NO fanboys or Apple defenders... just be real.

    iOS 6 works perfectly fine for me.
    Regarding your maps issue,
    Apple is constantly working on improving their new Maps service, but until it reaches the level of finesse necessary to be usable, take a look at some alternatives.
    If you would like to send a suggestion to Apple, please go to http://www.apple.com/feedback or you can Report a Problem via the Maps app by tapping the bottom right.
    Bing Maps offers a very good maps service with Bird's Eye, a feature similar to Flyover. It's arguably better than Google Maps.

    You can use Google Maps by creating a shortcut to the Home Screen with help from the article below.

    MapQuest also has a very nice app available.

    Nokia Maps is another great service that you can add to your Home Screen via a web shortcut.

    Waze is another very well reviewed app.

  • HT6146 i have remained on ios 6.1.3 on my iphone 4s and do not want to move to iOS 7.  what is the iOS security update for this version

    I use the iphone 4s and have not/do not want to update to iOS 7.  Currently i utilize iOS 6.1.3. What is the security update for this version?

    For iPhone 4s is iOS 7.0.6. Only one you can update to. iOS 6.1.6 is only for 3GS and iPod Touch 4th Gen

  • Will the security update be available for IOS 6?

    Will the security update be available for IOS 6?

    Not so - Apple says they have release iOS 6.1.6 to address the security problem. However no one seems to know how to get it since every request for an update only offers iOS 7. Very strange...
    Nothing strange about it.  iOS update only allows the installation of the latest release based on the hardware it detects you are using.  The 6.1.6 update is only available to those devices that CANNOT run iOS 7, like the iPhone 3Gs.  For any device capable of running iOS 7, the iOS update system will ONLY offer the option of updating to iOS 7.0.6, regardless of whether the device is still running iOS 6 at the time you try to update it.
    That is how the iOS update system has always worked - you simply cannot update to a lesser iOS release then the most recent for your particular hardware.

  • Does iOS 6.1.5 provide same security updates as iOS 7?

    The info provided with the iOS 6.1.5 update says "This update contains security content originally included in previous iOS Software Updates." 
    Does this mean that the same vulnerabilities and security updates that were fixed from iOS 6.1.3 to iOS 7.0 were fixed or does it mean the iOS 6.1.5 has the same vulnerabilities and security problems as iOS 6.1.3 and that 6.1.5 only fixed Face Time?

    Apple does not say. All theysaid is:
    For the protection of our customers, Apple does not disclose, discuss or confirm security issues until a full investigation has occurred and any necessary patches or releases are available. To learn more about Apple Product Security, see the Apple Product Security website.

  • HT201263 Problems with ipad after installing security update iOS 7.0.6

    Cannot get my iPad 2 out of recovery mode after installing the security update iOS 7.0.6
    have tried plugging in to iTunes- on computer but doesn't get iPad out of recovery mode!  Help?!?

    Did you already try to reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comes back again? You will not lose data by resetting, but it can cure some glitches.
    If this does not work, try to connect in recovery mode, explained here:

  • ITunes 10.7 will not launch after installing the OS 10.6.8 security update 2012-004

    This evening I installed the Mac OS 10.6.8 security update 2012-004. I'm posting this to see if others have the same problem, plus to find out if there's a way to uninstall a security update.
    All was fine before the update, but now iTunes 10.7 won't launch as it quits unexpectedly and gives me a Problem Report to send to Apple (which was sent).
    iTunes will also not launch while logged in under other users. I tried rebooting.
    My iMac cannot be updated past OS 10.6.8. I can't live without iTunes.
    Let me know If I should post more system info.
    Thanks for the help,
    Carl.

    You could try downgrading iTunes to an older version?
    Just drag the iTunes.app to the trash and reinstall an older version, you should be able to find one in the Support Downloads, this may fix your problem.
    Note, iTunes 10.7 is needed for any devices with iOS 6

  • When i click a link on (facebook, google, yahoo, etc) it sends me back to my home page. It has done this at least 5 times only starting yesterday the 29th, one of numerous issues arrisen since the newest 4.0 security update.

    This issues persists mainly on my two most frequently visited sites, Facebook, and deviant art. When I click any random link on any random page, the link would send me back to my home page, as if i had clicked the back button when i hadnt. I cant specify what links specifically, but it has done it twice on my facebook home page, once on a google search and several times on Deviant Art. On Deviant Art, I was several pages into the site when i clicked on a users gallery and it sent me right back to google, the back button wasnt active, but the forward button was, when i clicked the FORWARD button it went right back to my last page, just as if i has hit BACK. This problem has only been apparent for the last 2 days since the 29th, and only after i installed the last security update provided by the firefox team. seems like a bad coding error that mixes up and redirects addresses, that would be my guess.

    And maybe you don't talk to too many people but I've been on many forums on different websites where people have had similar problems and a lot of people in the store were having battery problems where they were draining too fast. What I learned is that all the people who did not download the updates are good. There phone is working the same. The people who have, they're having battery problems
    I have downloaded every update and my battery life is better than any previous iPhone I have ever owned. I see posts from hundreds of people every day, and this is not a commonly reported problem. While there are a few random reports of battery problems, it is no more than I have seen for any other model or any other version of iOS in almost 8 years. Usually problems of rapid battery drain can be traced to bad apps (FaceBook is the worst offender) or corrupt data being synced from iCloud or other sources (gmail, Windows Live, Yahoo, etc).
    The simple test is to restore the phone as New. Do not create any email accounts. Do not install any apps. Do not enable FaceTime or iMessage. Do not enable Twitter or any other social networking app. Use it for a day and check the battery usage. You will find that it is working well.
    And also see this: http://www.overthought.org/blog/2014/the-ultimate-guide-to-solving-ios-battery-d rain. It is the best treatise I have seen on the subject of battery usage.

  • My iPod is up to a 4.1 ios, and it won't update to a 5.1 which I need for some of my apps for school. It keeps saying that my internet connection is bad; but, it works just fine. What do I need to do?

    If you get a network timeout error, then disabling the computer's security software duirng the download and update usually resovles that error.
    If that is not the error what is the wording of the error message.
    Note that only a 3G or 4G iPod can go to iOS 5.  A 2G iPod can only go to iOS 4.2.1

  • HT1338 Hi, I'm trying to load Facetime on my MacBook and it says "You are missing a critical security patch. Please use Software Update to install Security Update 2010-005". I've checked and all my software is updated. What do I do?

    First off, iOS 5 will not run on Macs.   You need to give us your Mac OS X on your Mac to determine which security update you need.  Go to Apple menu -> About This Mac.     And then read the link here:
