IOS6 Update

I’m currently working in the Middle East using a very slow Internet connection, through an Ethernet cable (no wireless available)
Although I have managed to download and update Mountain Lion to 10.8.2, I cannot download IOS 6 through iTunes.  Again, due to a slow connection my download times out through Apple and iTunes.  Its showing a 19 hour download.
Is there anywhere I can download the update (outside iTunes) then install and update my iPhone 4S?

  • HT201210 I have tried to update to IOS6 and it has prompted me to connect to ITunes but when I do I keep getting the message ' There is no sim card inserted in the Iphone you are trying to activate'.  My phone is now locked on the IOS6 update screen!

    I have been without mu IPhone 4 since yesterday now as I tried to do the IOS6 update and since then it has messed up my phone and I am unable to access any of it's functions as it is locked on the update screen. 
    My phone was bought through Vodfone and have been on their network ever since, never had any problems like this.
    It prompts me to connect to ITunes and when I do it will not go any further as stating 'No sim card is inserted in the IPhone you are trying to activate'.  Well there is a sim in there and I have removed it and reinserted it on many occasions today.  I am also not trying to activate my phone as all I did was try to the update which I was prompted to do in my setting!
    I have seen many people on the net today with the same or similar problems but as yet I am to find a solution!
    Help, please as it is driving me crazy!!!

    Try a Hard Reset.....
    Press and hold the Wake / Sleep button AND the Home button at the same time, keep them both pressed until the Apple Logo appears on the screen, it can take 10 or more seconds.  Ignore the swipe to turn off message.

  • I switched off my ipod touch 4g during an ios6 update

    it was during the ios6 update that i realised for some reason i did not want to update it because of what my friends told me, it had nothing beneficial for the ipod touch 4g, so i decided to switch off my ipod touch 4g and now it would not turn on the only thing that i could do with it was restart it which  i have done over 40 times and it either shows the apple logo and then goes dull or turns blue to yellow, yellow to white, grey to white etcetera.
    Can someone please help me i don't know what to do with it i've looked everywhere for a solution.
    and my dog bit through the top of my usb lead. **** you bellatrix
    thanks, Brittanny Pegg

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • IOS6 update : Music app completely lost...

    I updated my iPhone 4s last night, this morning I had a brand new OS, everything works fine... except the Music app. When I updated my iPhone, I had iTunes Match enabled showing my whole Library (approx. 6000 songs) everything was fine in iOS5, but after the update, in the Songs tabs, i have the list showing no name, no duration and when I click on one of the blank slots it's not playing anything.
    The artists/albums info are the but as soon as I come a t the song level, everything is blank. It's as if I lost part of an XML file containing the last childs...
    I tried to
    - reboot
    - disable itunes match
    - disable showing all my songs and then re-download some to re-initialize my library
    - sync from iTunes
    - delete everything with iTunes using the manually manage songs
    - wipe the phone to restore it with my the last backup (done after the iOs6 update)
    Nothing is working.....
    If any of you have another idea, I will gladly test it...

    I'm in the same boat.  Went to the Genius Bar at the Apple store with no results.  The guy that helped me stated that one of the genius' had the same issue and could not resolve.  I'm away from home so I'll have to wait till Monday.  Thais is the last time I'll jump on the first day of an update to be on the bleeding edge.

  • Recently my iPad3 and iPhone5 stopped synching automatically to iCloud. Around the same time I backed them both up to my Macbook Pro and installed the iOS6 update. Any thoughts or help is appreciated!

    Recently, I noticed that my iPhone5, iPad 3 and iPod Touch 4th Gen stopped backing up to the iCloud automatically despite ALL of them doing so previously, without a single problem. A few weeks ago I bought a Macbook Pro and I backed up all 3 devices to it a couple times (and they still backed up to the iCloud by themselves without a problem). A few days ago, I noticed that ALL 3 OF THEM stopped backing up to the iCloud automatically. Around the same time, I backed them up to my Mac and I also downloaded the iOS6 update. I'm not sure what is wrong. Has anybody else experienced this type of problem? I'm NOT very familiar with MAC computers as this is my first one and I've been learning a lot as I go. I don't know if I did something in the setting's of iTunes when I backed the devices up that could have caused the decives to stop backing up to the iCloud automatically. I did notice on my previous laptop (a Gateway) and on this one (the MacBook Pro) that on each device, I had to go into "Setting's" on each device and turn the "iCloud Backup" back to the  "On" position! That was right after I backed them up to each computer. I attempted to fix it yesterday by adjusting the setting's in iTunes, but nothing worked. If anyone can help, I would sincerely appreciate it. Thank you!!!

    Ok, I can try those things this afternoon. I have to leave now and won't be able to try for several hours. I'll let you know how things turn out. Thank you again. Also, I am not sure what DNS Setting's are regarding the router and how to change them. Thank you again for trying to help me with this. One side note. I noticed yesterday on another post regarding this topic, a man said he changed his iCloud email from one to another. I have two. One is and @me.com address and one is an @icloud.com address. I switched them around the other day. One device had @me.com as the one the email one be sent from (I think that was the phone) and I believe the iPad 3 had @iCloud.com as the other. Well, I switched them both to @icloud.com. In the post I mentioned a man said that he did that to his, and it worked. That was a few days ago and this was around the same time I began noticing the devices not synching to iCloud like they should. Right now I have for the iCloud email account (on both the iPhone and the iPad) @iCloud.com as the setting that any emails from that account would be sent from and the @me.com is also turned to the "On" position on both devices. I figured that if I'm sending an email from an iCloud account it should say "@iCloud.com" after it rather than "@me.com" after it. I just did that so everthing was the same on both devices and out of personal preference. No other reason really as I don't ever use the account to email anyone and have never given either address to anyone. Only Apple has them and they sent a couple things initially and I never receive anything on that account (for the most part). Ocasionally I get something from Apple and that's a rarity. I don't know if that may factor in at all or not. It did for one gentleman. Thank you randers4!

  • How do I get my video playlists back on iPod Touch 4G after (epic fail) iOS6 update

    As other users have identified, playlists present on iTunes on laptop but not on iPod touch 4G after iOS6 update except when select edit. Can I get them back? Not wasting time messing around. Either this is easily sortable or I get a new player from another maunfacturer - seems Apple can't be bothered to sort these issues so not sure I can be bothered with Apple anymore.

    Well, if you have not backed them up, they are gone.
    Next time, when you have important material in only one place, back it up.

  • Ipod not working properly after ios6 update

    I recently updated my ipod touch with the ios6 update, and now most of my apps wont open, and others shut down after a few seconds including the app store and itunes! is there any way of reversing the update? or fixing it without having to go to the apple store? 

    If the update does not work for you then do as I explained in my previous post and roll back to the previous driver. That philosophy can be applied to all updates.
    If there is no pressing or emergent reason to update and your PC or notebook is running just great... don't update. (that is especially true when it comes to a BIOS update)
    For your issue #2, the problem could be your wireless connection (hotspot, router or modem) that causes the dropped connection.
    Best regards,

  • What is the size of ios6 update on iPad

    I started updating my iPad(3rd Generation), for about 1 hour it was displaying the message"estimating time remaining"...So I decided to update my iPad via itunes..The difference I noticed in size was that on iPad it showed 791 MB and via itunes it showed 1.1GB.So I just paused my iOS6  update to iPad .Now What should I do? Should I update iPad to iOS6 directly or should I update it via itunes....

    I did mine via my computer's iTunes. Usually the direct updates on the iPad only download the parts of iOS that need updating, whereas downloading it via your computer it downloads the complete iOS version

  • Problems with touch keyboard after ios6 update.

    After the ios6 update, my touch keyboard doesn't work well with certain apps. For example, in pages and Facebook it doesn't push up to reveal the typable area so I can't see what I'm typing. In numbers, I know longer see the old typable area right above the keyboard with the function option and such. Also the automatic cell setting don't work properly. For example, when I put in a date it only lets me change the month. What can I do?

    Try reseting all the setting on the device.

  • Does anybody has problem with playing youtube in Opera Mini after iOS6 update?

    After iOS6 update I can not play youtube from Opera Mini,- neither link to youtube works and embedded video as well. It works ok with Safari, but I prefer using Opera Mini instead. If there is a embedded youtube video or just a link to m.youtube, Opera mini does nothing:(

    Cool, in OperaMini forum, there is an answer, that issue has been noticed and will be solved someday!

    My dad bought an iPhone 4S, and I have the exact same model. Neither of us have the iOS6 update. His phone has 4G, mine doesn't. He also has more features than I. Why is that?

    Both of you should update to iOS 6 and then you will be
    the same if you have the same  model iPhone.
