ITunes 10.6.1 Update button for iOS update does not work (a bug)

iTunes 10.6.1 Update button on iOS device Summary / Version page does not update devices. It only checks the iTunes version!
With iTunes 10.6.1, connect an iPad, iPhone, iPod running pre-6 iOS version.
On iPad Summary / Version page, next to  [Update] button the message says:
"A newer version of the iPad software is available (version 6.0). To update your iPad with the latest software, click Update."
However, clicking the [Update] button will not start update iPad. Instead it gives you a dialog saying:
"This version of iTunes (10.6.1) is the current version".
Obviously it should start updating the i-device there but instead just goes and check the iTunes version ?!?
A Bug!
What's really annoying in this bug is that it's the only way to update pre iOS 5.x devices, which is now impossible!
Apple should get this fixed asap!
Anyone found any workarounds?
[Edit]: There seems to be another discussion of this issue already:
https://discussions.apple.com/message/19671173#19671173

Just forgot to add, yes, I know there's iTunes 10.7 but it's only available on Snow Leopard and higher.
The machine in question is an old macbook, running Leopard (10.5.8), that it will propably never get upgraded.
Since most  my older i-devices were initially synced with that particular machine, I'll be now stuck with iOS updates, without loosing content.

    I recently updated my ipad wifi only to the new ios 6.1.2 and initially I had the auto cover lock option which can be seen in the Generals tab, but then it stoped working!! Before the update, the auto cover lock worked fine. So after trying all the options, I then did a complete reset on the ipad and now its gone all together from the General tab!! I can no longer see the "auto cover lock" option.
    The iPad cover lock is for when you use a cover with magnets in it to lock and unlock the iPad when you close the cover or open it. Try running a refrigerator magnet along the sides of the iPad and see if that trips the iPad Cover Lock back into the settings.
    That is not the same thing as the iPad Auto Lock setting which allows you to set an allotted time before the iPad goes to sleep.
    You can try resetting all settings to see if the Auto Lock feature retinrs to the iPad.
    Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your device settings again.... All of the settings in the settings app will have to be re-entered. This can be a little time consuming re-entering all of the device settings again.

  • TS3212 I get an apple application support error when installing itunes. It says uninstall and re-install.  Does not work.  same message.  What is a solution?

    I get an apple application support error when installing itunes. It says uninstall and re-install.  Does not work.  same message.  What is a solution?

    Is that an error 2 message?
    If so, let's try a standalone Apple Application Support install. It still might not install, but fingers crossed any error messages will give us a better idea of the underlying cause of the issue.
    Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR:
    http://www.rarlab.com/
    Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").
    Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleApplicationSupport.msi to do a standalone AAS install.
    Does it install properly for you?
    If instead you get an error message during the install, let us know what it says. (Precise text, please.)

  • My dvd slot for imac10,1 does not work. It rejects the disc. Problem after reinstall of backup from hdd.

    My dvd slot for imac10,1 does not work. I had a new harddrive installed in November and the MacStore installed my backups from an external harddrive. I do not use it other than to upload programs, so I have not tried using it until tax season, but it rejects the disc. The ata file indicates no dvd firmware, but the serial-ata does indicate firmware for a dvdrw. What might I do about this to bring the dvd back, least expensive to most?

    Yesterday I started having the same problem. Can read disc (play movies and music) but blank disk are ejected or idvd cannot see the blank disk. I have a almost 12 month old 27" i7 imac.

  • Can't get to settings to turn on wifi because "sign in to icloud" pops up and asks for pw which does not work because i can't get to wifi  ?p

    can't get to settings to turn on wifi because "sign in to icloud" pops up and asks for pw which does not work because i can't get to wifi  ?

    The problem is I cannot turn on wireless setting.  The "sign in to icloud  -- enter appleid password" popup will not go away. when i enter the pw and click ok, the same balloon pops up again.  If I click "cancel" it pops again. Since I am not on the internet (because I cannot turn the ipad wireless on) the sign in to icloud obviously will not work.  Vicious circle.

  • What can I do for the following situation: I think my insert slot for the headphones does not work; when I put in any cable that should and can go in all I hear is low frequent static sounds.

    You might try talking to the Apple store manager and see if you don't get more help...you might also contact Apple.com/support and see if they can give you a contact with the Apple Italy offices.
    Sounds like you have two levels of failure, the first shop that did the repair and broke a wire, and the second that has disabled something else and isn't helping.
    Apple officially refurbished equipment is usually good quality.  Surprising this has happened but you need to press on with complaints and try for resolution.

  • My iphone5c is still under the 1 year warranty, the top button constantly sticks and does not work properly will Apple still replace my phone even though there is a few chips and scratches on the back?

    My iphone5c is still under the 1 year warranty, the top button constantly sticks and does not work properly will Apple still replace my phone even though there is a few chips and scratches on the back?

    As Peter says above, only an Apple Store genius can advise you.
    But to further clarify, you seem to postulate that if Apple helps you, the cure would be a replacement.  That is not necessarily true.  Let them look at it and advise you what the remedy is.  They may offer you nothing (saying it's your fault), or they may offer you a solution (keeping your current iPhone), or possibly a replacement.

  • Logfile monitoring for MSSQL ERRORLOG does not work with sapccmsr

    Hi
    We are running MSSQL2005 and wants to monitor the ERRORLOG for certain patterns, using the logfile monitoring feature of SAPCCMSR.
    We are using logfile monitoring with sapccmsr for a lot of other logfiles without problems, but for ERRORLOG is does not work!
    To be more precise: The agent does not report alerts for the text patterns specified. The agent runs fine and in RZ20 we can see that the logfile are checked every minute (but without finding the patterns).
    The strange thing is that:
    - It works for all other logfiles
    - If we do a "type ERRORLOG >> <new file>" and runs the same monitoring on this "copy" of the ERRORLOG then it works
    Any ideas?
    Best regards
    Tom Bo

    Hi,
    Please look at SAP note 1013331 https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/1013331.
    In special the changes after patch collection 2007/5.
    Practical you have to use a unicode CCMS Agent to monitor the ERRORLOG file of SQL2005, and add the "ENCODING=UTF-16" parameter in the template file....
    hope this helps..
    Regards
    Rolf

  • Second button on menu for slide show does not work.

    Anyone else having problems with this? Despite three separate attempts using different photos, different Macs and different themes... it is always the second button (to access the second folder) in the slide show that does not work. It fails to access the slides in the folder.
    Our conclusion finally was that this is a bug, so we used only text buttons and put the second button over to the side of the main menu with just a period in it, and one image in the folder (it will not allow a folder without any images) and then we can skip from the first button to the third (seen on the screen as the second button) and bypass the problem.
    Has anyone come up with an explanation or a better solution?

  • Menu Button to End Workout Does not Work!

    I recently got a nike + kit for a new 16 GB Ipod Nano.
    I've successfully started and enjoyed several workouts with the kit. However, when I am done with my workout, and I attempt to "end my workout" by depressing the Menu button, nothing happens. It's as if the Menu button does not work. This effectively locks my Ipod in the Nike Plus workout. I've had to reset my Ipod in order to get out of the workout. Needless to say, my workout is not recorded, and I am not interested in constantly resetting my Ipod as a long term solution to ending my workouts.
    Any ideas on how I can resolve this issue? I have not tried resetting my Ipod to factory default settings. I do have the latest firmware loaded on my Ipod, and the "hold" switch is not on when this happens.
    Thanks!

    This just in from Nike on how to retrieve lost run data for Windows users. Once he sends me the Mac version I will post that too.
    Hi Shana,
    This sounds like it is a really frustrating issue. I would like to help you resolve it.
    So far you have done a soft reset on the iPod, turned off spoken feedback, and checked for software updates. If your workouts were saved in your iPod, the following instructions will help you recover them.
    If you have a Mac system, please let me know and I will you send you the Mac instructions.
    Re-uploading a workout (Windows)
    1. Dock your iPod Nano
    2. Open Itunes, select your iPod, and go to the summary tab
    3. If the "enable disk use" box is not checked, check it and click Apply
    4. Open My Computer; go to tools, folder options, and the view tab
    5. If "Show Hidden Files and Folders" does not have a green dot next to it, select it and click Apply.
    6. Close the Folder Options window and find your iPod on My Computer. It should be listed as a removable drive.
    7. Open the following folders to reach your Sensor folder: iPod_Control\Device\Trainer\Workouts\Empeds
    8. When you are in the Empeds folder, you will see a folder with a name that matches the serial number on your receiver. This is the Sensor folder.
    9. Open the Sensor folder and you will see two folders, Latest and Synched.
    10. Open the Synched folder and find the corresponding .xml files (date stamped) missing from your Nike+ account.
    11. Move these files to the "Latest" folder. (You can either drag them to Latest or you can use the Edit menu to cut and paste them into Latest.)
    11. Close the My Computer window
    12. Go back to iTunes and safely un-dock your iPod Nano. iTunes will need to stay open.
    13. Reconnect your iPod Nano, then select the check box to "Automatically send workout data to nikeplus.com" and click Apply at the bottom-right of the screen.
    14. The missing runs will be re-synced.
    If your iPod software is up to date and this continues to happen I recommend restoring the iPod. Keep in mind that restoring the iPod will permanently erase all of the data on the iPod.
    If you restore the iPod and this issue continues to happen, please take the iPod to an Apple retail store for technical assistance or call 1-800-263-3394.
    If you have additional questions related to Nike+ or if you need to reach Nike+ technical support, please email us or call us. Our phone number is 1-800-379-6453, option 3. We are available 7am -3:50pm PST seven days a week.
    Best,
