Not updating IOS 6 consequences?

Hi,
I am NOT going to update to IOS 6 on my iPhone 4S or iPad because I often utilse the Street View in Maps. The new map is just awful. I don't need turn by turn instructions I have a Tomtom. I don't fly a helicopter (anymore) so the flyby view is of no interest to me.
My question is that my iMac and Macbook Air I are wanting to upgrade to new version of Mountain Lion BUT if I do that will they NOT work properly with my iPhone and iPad running IOS5?
Thank you
Rick

Until recently I was using my iPhone 4S running iOS 5 just fine with the latest version of Mountain Lion, so you've nothing to worry about. Remember, Apple has to support the phones not lucky enough to be compatible with iOS 6.

Not true... You do not need iOS 6 before iOS 7.
Connect to iTunes on the computer you usually Sync with and “ Check for Updates “...
If an Update Appears Install it...
if not... you are up to date for your particular Device...
See the Using iTunes Section Here...

NOTE:
iOS 7 requires iTunes v 11.1 Installed on your computer

3GS not updating iOS

iOS 4.3.3 is the latest and current version of iOS, however iTunes, be it on a Mac or Windows PC, will report iOS 4.2.1 as the latest version, therefore not updating my iOS. Restored numerous times, no luck yet.
Hope there's a solution to this.
Thanks

Thanks gdgmacguy,
Always for some odd reason thought I had the 3GS. Model didn't match though, I've got the Japanese model (MB500J) Guess that means I'm stuck with iOS 4.2.1 for now. Looking forward to the iPhone 5!
Thanks again

iOS- Unable to update or restore
Resolve iOS update and restore errors in iTunes
Have you tried connecting to your computer and updating via iTunes?
You may have to do a full restore to upgrade:
Placing your device into recovery (DFU-Device Firmware Upgrade) mode:
Follow these steps to place your iOS device into recovery mode. If your iOS device is already in recovery mode, you can proceed immediately to step 6.
   1. Disconnect the USB cable from the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, but leave the
       other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
   2. Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds
       until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.
              * If you cannot turn off the device using the slider, press and hold the
                Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When the device turns off,
                release the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons.
3. While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the
       device. The device should turn on. Note: If you see the battery charge warning,
       let the device charge for at least ten minutes to ensure that the battery has some
       charge, and then start with step 2 again.
4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen.
       When this screen appears you can release the Home button:
5. If necessary, open iTunes. You should see the following "recovery mode" alert:
6. Use iTunes to restore the device.
If you don't see the "Connect to iTunes" screen, try these steps again. If you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen but the device does not appear in iTunes, see this article and its related links.
Additional Information:
If you have a problem getting into recovery mode then try: RecBoot: Easy Way to Put iPhone into Recovery Mode.
Note: When using recovery mode, you can only restore the device. All user content on the device will be erased, but if you had previously synced with iTunes on this computer, you can restore from a previous backup. See this article for more information.

HT5567 I can not update ios 6.0.1 on my ipad they keep saying an error occured downloading ios 6.0.1 .What can I do?

I keep downloading update ios 6.0.1 but It can't go throught,howw can I do?

You could update your iPad from your iMac if your iMac is running iTunes 11.0 or iTunes 10.7.
If you have an older (or no) version of iTunes, you can catch up at:
http://www.apple.com/itunes
You say you are running OS X 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard). I know that version can run iTunes 10.7; I do not know if it supports iTunes 11.0 (current release). Either one of those iTunes will support your iPad upgrade.
You would do the upgrade by using the USB connector to plug your iPad into your computer, having iTunes then recognize your iPad (which would happen automatically if all goes well), and then clicking a "Check for Updates" button on the right side of the iTunes display.

HT201210 Why not update ios 5.0

Ios not update because to much problem .

No, you cannot update to iOS 5 because the iPhone 3G is too old, and will only run up to iOS 4.2.1.
It's not a problem. It's not possible.

I have clicked on download only in iTunes to update ios 6.1.3 on my 3gs but iTunes is not updating ios 6.1.3 on my iphone 3gs

I would like to update my ios from 5.0.1 on 3Gs to 6.1.3. On my iTunes, i checked for update and it took me to pop-up where i clicked on download only and it downloaded the new ios but it is not getting updated when connected to iphone

at times I get a bit of keyboard lag with my iphone4 with ios7 but not too bad but it does run better on my ipad2
if you judge from the posts here then many people feel ios7 made their iphone useless and so slow and defect they will run to the nearests android store and start trowing their money at it
but then people who don't have issues rarely sped alot of time in support forums informing people that they don't have problems
try messing around with a friend or relatives upgraded device and make up your own mind

That sounds like a problem with your internet connection
Try disabling the computer's antivirus and firewall.
- Next try the manual install method of:

- Then try on another computer

IPod 4,1 will not update to iOS 7. I updated my iMac to 10.9.1 (maverick). Latest Numbers version on iMac is not compatible with Numbers on iPod. Ideas? Can I go back a version with Numbers?

iPod 4,1 will not update to iOS 7. I updated my iMac to 10.9.1 (maverick). Latest Numbers version on iMac is not compatible with Numbers on iPod. Ideas? Can I go back a version with Numbers? I downloaded old version of Numbers 2.0.1 from DVD but with both versions the 2.0.1 will not open. So both versions are present but only the new version functions. I tried to drag the new version to the trash but the old version still runs error message and will not open. I did not try to restart with the new version in the trash.

Maybe. See:
Reverting to previous version of Numbers

Have you checked that the dock connector port is not dirty?

My iPhone 4s iOS 7.0.4 will not update music or apps from iTunes 11.1.3. this was true of my pc and the new MacPro.

My iphone 4s ios 7/0/4 will not update music or apps from itunes 11.1.3. this was true with my pc since ios 7.0.3 even with update 7.0.4 and now continues with my new MacPro also runing itunes 11.1.3. as most state in previous threads, syncs all non itunes related data with no issue and appears to work correctly on itunes data but then hangs on the last step of updating until it times out. i have tried marking specific music to transfer, setting up new playlist, deleting some old playlist on phone but stopped short of restoring my phone back to new due to the amount of non itunes data that i will lose. The itunes setup on the macpro was completely with the download of all music from a previous external backup and the creation of new playlist - on the first sync with existing phone it did ask to overwrite all phone itunes data with macpro itunes data which i did accept - no different result - no changes on phone.

Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new). Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.
If the problem continues, take the device to Apple for evaluation and possible replacement.
