IOS updates... when is it coming?
is it me, or is it taken for ever to get an IOS upgrade to fix some of the bug in there.... the last one we saw was ages away.... VPN not firing, syncing, itunes match, amongst others.... When is the next update coming?
I haven't spent much time on the forum in ages, and no doubt my issues are on the forum, but I just think that the frequency of IOS updates has gone down since.... a certain dramatic event in 2011..
Weird....
All anyone on here knows is that 5.1 beta 3 is with the developers. Apple have made no announcement as to when it will be released and under the Terms of Use we are prohibited from speculating on its release.

Auto software update - when's it coming back?
Anybody know when the auto software update program is coming back? I miss that - it was a lifesaver for me, when it was still available.
Do you mean ThinkVantage System Update, or are you referring to something else?

Disable iOS Update when preparing devices from backup on Apple Configurator 1.7
Hi,
I am preparing a large number of iPads and I have been using Apple Configurator for a long time now. Since Apple Configurator 1.7 i am encountering one particular issue.
But with this new version I am having some problem with the Update iOS feature...
In previous versions, when I would prepare iPads by restoring it from a single back-up, I could disable the Update iOS. As you can see in the following screenshots, when preparing an unsupervised iPad, I can choose Never Update Device, this happens when I do not restore a backup.
But when I restore a back up, I can no longer have the option to Never Update the Device...
How can I restore a backup to an ipad without updating an iPad to the latest iOS version?I am looking for same functionality --Never update iOS-- but can't make it work in the Configurator.
I tried with a custom iOS selected & supervision switched on in the Prepare tab.
then in the Supervise tab "never update iOS" is available, and I applied that.
But starting the Ipad after the Configurator wizard makes it possible for the user to do a software update.
Bummer !
Did you manage to solve this? -
curious about the iOS 5 software that is coming out. If I wait til its release to buy my iPhone 4 will it come with the iOS5 software already on it? or should I go ahead and buy my iPhone 4 and then update the software when the iOS5 is released?

Yea I would have to say wait until the release of IOS 5, because the phone will probably run it a lot smoother. I mean go ahead and buy the Iphone 4 if you are dying to have it, because you can just update it which is no big deal at all, but it would be the smarter thing to wait for the new updates.
And the networ issue as far as I am aware is fixed on the Verizon iPhones, so it really depends on which service you have.
- correct me if i am wrong
Have to disagree here, Apple have not even announced an iphone 5, it is pointless to speculate that we will see one or not see one until Apple actually releases a statement. ios was built and tested on the iphone 4 so there will not be any slowdown or laggyness compared to a phone that has not been released yet.
If we are advising potential apple product buyers then we should not be putting them off buying a iphone 4 on speculations alone. Just because apple have for the last few years released an iphone every june/july does not mean then have to stick to this approach.
Apple have not issued any statement regarding an iphone 5, until this time it does not exist, only in heresay on the internet.
Any one looking to get an iphone 4, to you i would say waiting until ios 5 is released is a personal choice, no matter if you wait or not you will be able to update via itunes. One way or another in the future you will have to do an ios update via itunes whether this is the 5.0 software or 5,2,1.
Please note that Apple are very closed mouthed about new hardware releases and potentially a new iphone could be round the corner, however there is no evidence to suggerst this, i.e Apple have not even mentioned an iphone 5 this year anything you hear towards the contrary is media spin thus far and speculation.
ios 5 was built and tested to work seamlessly on iphone 4, the beta software released to developers is being tested on iphone 4. Please do not listen to people telling you that the iphone 4 will not run this ios as well as a phone that does not exist yet. When iphone 5 launches it will most likely have dual processors and not until its launch will the next gen apps start appearing. -

When is ios 6.1.1 is coming out for iphone 4?
I wanna know when is ios 6.1.1 is coming out for iphone 4
No one here would know, we're all users, just like you. Since Apple never announces in advance the release of iOS updates, we'll all find out when/if Apple releases such.

I've done recent ios update on my IPad (2nd gen.) and now game center has stopped connecting. Just goes to blank white screen. I have synced 4 times and turned IPad on and off several times. when I try to connect to Apple support it tells me that i must have current safari browser. Yet when I sync to my MAC it tells me all is up to date with current ios.
Please help.......Try This...
Close All Open Apps... Sign Out of your Account... Perform a Reset... Try again...
Reset ( No Data will be Lost )
Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
Wait for the Apple logo to Appear...
Usually takes about 15 - 20 Seconds... ( But can take Longer...)
Release the Buttons...
If no joy... Try a Restore...
1: Connect the device to Your computer and open iTunes.
2: If the device appears in iTunes, select and click Restore on the Summary pane.

Make sure you have the Latest Version of iTunes (v11.1.5) Installed on your computer
iTunes free download from www.itunes.com/download -
Is it still possible to downgrade from ios 6 to ios 5.1.1 on my ipod touch 4th gen as of Sept.24? Also, if I use a backup created AFTER updating to ios 6, when I restore/downgrade to ios 5.1.1, does it become ios 6 again because of the version of ios 6 that I created the backup on?
There has never been a legit way to downgrade.
It will always restore to the latest available software. -
I have I-phone 4S - Since updating to IOS 6, when at home with Wi-Fi network with my I Phone connection is not responding sometimes – for example if I want to check my G-mail it shows loading but nothing happens and after few minutes it displays “Cannot Get Mail” – The mail server “imap.gmail.com is not responding, Verify that you have entered the correct account info in mail settings
Other times the Wi-Fi connection works fine and it check e-mail or other within few seconds. The connection problems seems to be intermitted
This issue never happened before with IOS 5 since I bought the new phone in Oct 2011.We suffered the imap.gmail.com server problem After an IoS 6 upgrade. The simple solution is to delete the problem account, shut down the iPad, start up again and reenter the account. Everything comes back normally. Good Luck everyone!

I'm trying to update my iPhone 4 from iOS 5.1.1 to 6.1. When I try to do this using iTunes on my MacBook Pro (OS X v 10.5.8), with my iPhone in its cradle, clicking the "Update" button in Tunes gets a message saying "This version of iTunes (10.6.1) is the current version." I can't get the iOS update to download.
When I try to update to the iPhone directly, I get a message saying "iOS 6.0.1 failed verification because you are no longer connected to the Internet" at the Verifying Update step. I noticed that this message refers to iOS 6.0.1, even though I want to update to 6.1. It is possible that, a few weeks ago, I may have downloaded but not installed v 6.0.1.
Thanks for any help with this problemI tried powering down and re-starting the iPhone (as suggested at http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1275). This seems to have cleared the "...not connected to the Internet" problem, and iOS 6.1 is now in the process of downloading.
Thanks very much for your feedback. -
When ever iTunes updates, it ends up coming up with error message, iTunes did not install properly, please re-install iTunes, this is about the fourth time this has happened, end up having to take it to computer tech at a cost of $180, please help
For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.

I just updated to IOS 5, when I did this my Songs were erased. How do I Get my songs back?
I just updated to IOS 5, when I did this my Songs were erased. I thought sinced i "Backed - Up" my ipod that my songs would return after the update. WHere are my songs? Whats the purpose of a back-up if i cant get my tunes back? I have about 2000 songs.
The backup does not contain music or the apps themselves and some other things. Those need to be in your iTunes library so then can be synced to the iPod during a latter stage of the update process.
If you are in a country where iCloud has be implimentd then you can redownload music by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
It list s the countrys where there is iCloud.
If the music wee from CDs, you have to go back to the source. -
I need help :-(
Did an IOS update last week and after the Ipad rebooted it said slide to unlock then asked for a passcode to be entered..... I have never set a passcode ever ??
What number do I enter to unlock the Ipad ... have tried the usual 0000 and 9999 etc but just locks me out .... HELP !!!
Or is there a way to go back to factory settings ?? (Without losing my Apple ID etc)
ThanksIf this was your first update to iOS 7 then you were asked to CREATE a passcode. Also there would have been a small Skip button to avoid creating the passcode. If, when you encountered that request you went ahead and entered a passcode number then you must use that number to unlock your device. Once the device is unlocked you can change or delete the passcode using the Settings app.
To completely remove the passcode lock you need to connect your iPad to the computer you normally sync with and restore the iPad. This will erase all data on the iPad so be sure your info, photos, etc. are backed up first. -
After updating to iOS 8, when I hit the home button once it takes me to the "app switcher."

Swipe from bottom of days listed ("Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, etc") upwards. I thought it was gone too but it's still there~just takes different way to access it.

when is the next ios update and will it fix/address the issue with photos not being shown in chronological order?
All of us here are users just like you. We have no inside info of when Apple products or operating system updates/upgrades will be released. The next iOS may not even change the issue you have.
