New security patch for ios 6.1.3 on iphone

just read a new article on yahoo news, urging folks with iphones, ipads and the itouch, to update the latest patch for a newly discovered security vulnerability.
The article gave instructions on how to update ios 6.1.3 on the iphone but those instructions don't work for me because my iphone 4s only shows the update to upgrade to ios7 and I do not want to do that.
is there a way to get rid of the prompt to upgrade to 7?  And is there a way to update ios 6.1.3 and get the security patch? 
Thanks.

So they should update to iOS 7.0.6.
It's the customer's choice to update or not update.  If they want the security patch, they update.  If they don't, then they don't.
Only the customer can decide what is more important to them; retaining iOS 6 on their device or improving the security of the device.
The only 'rock & hard place' are because of their personal choices.
Oldhippie, only YOU can decide that.  IMHO, security is more important than aesthetics.  But you need to be comofrtable with the decision, and no one here can help with that.

  • I'm using my iPad with iOS v 6.1.3- is there a security patch for the SSL/TLS vulnerability for this, or do I have to go to 7.0.6?

    I'm using my iPad with iOS 6.1.3. Is there a security patch for this version, or do I have to update to iOS 7.0.6?

    There is an update for iOS 6... v6.1.6. But it is only available to iPhone 3GS and iPod touch 4th gen users. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT6146?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
    For iPad, the highest supported os for iOS 6 is v6.1.3. If you want to get the security patch, you'll have to go to iOS 7.0.6.
    Hope this answers your question.

  • HT6147 is there going to be a Security patch for 1st Generation iPads?

    Is theis there going to be a Security patch for 1st Generation iPads? one has been released for all of the other devices.

    Probably not for the recent problem because the code error didn't show up until iOS 6. Since the original iPad cannot run iOS any later than 5.1.1 there is no need for an update in this instance.

  • HT6147 I have 2 fully functioning iPad 1st Gen but there is no security patch for them?!!!?!

    I have 2 fully functioning iPad 1st Gen but there is no security patch for them?!!!?!

    No, because the security issue is not present in iOS 5 Safari.  Only in iOS 6 and 7 versions.

  • Security Patches for 2008 R2 SP1 & Windows 7 SP1

    I need to manually approve all the security patches for 2008 R2 SP1 & Windows 7 SP1 on WSUS server.
    From what effective date should I approve the patches? I believe there is no need to approve pre-SP1 patches.

    Service pack are cumulative. There is a list of updates that SP contains. I let important updates intstall automatically. (MS recommends testing updates.)

    The people on these boards aren't Apple Support and can't do that for you. You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; ways of contacting them include clicking here and picking a method for your country, phoning AppleCare and asking for the Account Security team, and filling out and submitting this form.
    They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.

    If you have a rescue email address (which is not the same thing as an alternate email address) set up on your account then the steps half-way down this page give you a reset link on your account : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5312

  • IMovie for IOS Cannot export 60p despite iPhone 6 capability to shoot 60p

    Hi,
    iMovie for IOS Cannot export 60p despite iPhone 6 capability to shoot 60p
    I am obliged to use Pinnacle Studio for IOS 8
    I have bought a superb iPhone 6 Plus, shooting in 1080/60p, I cannot edit my clips to build a 60p Master.
    I understand the choice for shared video streams to use 720/30p 5Kb/s from my 1080/60p 25Kbps clips as it has to be streamed even on small PC.
    But if I want a master file 1080/60p at 25Kbps, and send it by mail with the superb new Cloud Mail to my mac mates, I cannot do it
    I need a master hacker to poke this 60 number I nee somewhere into iMovie, it should be somewhere in the compressor frameworks used by iMovie in the app Package for exporting.
    SAME PROBLEM WITH I MOVIE 10.0.6 FOR OSX YOSEMITE,
    Best regards to the community

    I appreciate you taking the time to copy and paste boilerplate responses to increase your points in this forum, but I've already read all those support articles in depth; but you have barely read my post at all. Please don't guess a fix. Only someone with the latest versions of iMovie, iOS, iPhone, Yosemite, and MacBook Pro is qualified to troubleshoot this, because anyone would immediately see that the following option no longer exists:
    Open iMovie on your Mac, and choose File > Import > iMovie for iOS Project.
    Read my post before you reply: It clearly says in the title and within my post that I can neither export nor import through iTunes without receiving an error message. So your response neither solved my question nor helped me whatsoever.

  • HT2513 After accepting the new Apple upgrade to iOS 7.1 on my iPhone 4S, I cannot remove the half month calendar view to show only the daily view. Help!

    After accepting the new Apple upgrade to iOS 7.1 on my iPhone 4S, I cannot remove the half month calendar view to show only the daily view. Help!

    Before you panic, try resetting your iPhone by simultaneously pressing and holding the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons until you see the Apple Logo. This can take up to 15 seconds so be patient and don't release the buttons until the logo appears.
    Try again to see if the problem persists.
