UK Sim-free and no 7.8 update yet...anybody else?

So much for the advantages of buying a sim-free device...everybody I know on o2 has the update already.
I'm surprised as there should be no carrier delay in getting it on my handset.
Anybody else find they have a sim free phone (no network specific software/firmware etc) and seem to be the last person they know to get the update? Lol.
Tried the force update trick but it hasn't work at all this time unfortunately :-(

Thanks, I see it now.
I've just managed to "trick" zune into giving me update 7.10.8779.8
So I think there's two more to come after that, hopefully I can trick it again twice more. It was just trial and error and I counted before disconnecting, managed to do it by disconnecting after 7 seconds eventually.
I'm running in a VM this evening too so even trickier to disconnect accurately as I have no physical connection to pull.
Hopefully the next two just come right afterwards without the trick.

    I have iPhone 3GS, no sim-free, and it locked (tried to update to virsion 6.0). How can I unlock it?

    What do you mean how can you unlock it? If it was truly "sim-free" it would not have locked when you updated.
    ONLY the carreir the phone is locked to can authorize unlocking it. Contact them if you haven't managed to brick it entirely now.

  • The wifi has been lost or disconnected on my iPad. It's the iPad 2 and has not been updated yet. It's IOS 6.1.3 .. how do I add a network back onto it? I have typed in the name and chosen each of the securities and still hasn't connected!

    Hey there Luba_kalstad,
    It sounds like you are unable to join your network and cannot see it in the Wi-Fi list in Settings. I would try the troubleshooting outlined in this article named:
    iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1398
    Be sure you're in range of your Wi-Fi router (access point).
    Tap Settings > Wi-Fi and turn Wi-Fi off and on. If your Wi-Fi setting is dimmed, follow these steps.
    Confirm that your Wi-Fi router and cable or DSL modem are connected to power, turned on, and connected to the Internet. If not, refer to your network administrator or Internet service provider (ISP) for assistance.
    Restart your iOS device.
    Tap Settings > Wi-Fi and locate the Wi-Fi network to which you're connected.
    Tap and Forget this Network.
    Try to connect to your desired Wi-Fi network.
    Note: You may need to enter your Wi-Fi password again if your network requires one.
    Turn your Wi-Fi router off and on2. If your ISP also provides cable or phone service, check with them before attempting this step to avoid interruption of service.
    Update your device to the latest version of software.
    Update your Wi-Fi router to the latest firmware2. For AirPort Base Stations, install updates using the AirPort Utility.
    And this section down toward the bottom if needed:
    Unable to locate a Wi-Fi network
    Verify that the network is available by tapping Settings > Wi-Fi and choosing from the available networks.Note: It may take a few seconds for the Wi-Fi network name to appear.
    Move closer to your wireless router (access point) and attempt to locate the Wi-Fi network.
    If you do not see the network you would like to join, you may be attempting to connect to a hidden network. Learn how to join a hidden network.
    Supported Wi-Fi configurations vary by iOS device model. Find out which standards your device supports3.
    Reset network settings by tapping Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings. Note: This will reset all network settings including:
    previously connected Wi-Fi networks and passwords
    recently used Bluetooth accessories
    VPN and APN settings
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Take care,
    Sterling

  • Did the latest iOS update affect anybody else's volume on there iPhone

    did the latest iOS update affect anybody else's volume on there iPhone

    Yeah, i uninstalled itunes then reinstalled it again, just to make sure that i had the latest.
    No something odd has happened over night, the battery went flat last night, so i put it on the charger for 12 hours. Then when i took it off this morning for 30 minutes the battery went flat again..

  • HT1933 My younger sibling was playing my Sims Free and Purchased something for $20.99, but it come up with error, but is on my recent purchases.. Also what she purchased hasnt even come? Can i be refunded?

    My younger sibling was playing my Sims Free Play and Purchased something for $20.99 by accident, but it come up with error and the money has not yet be debited from my account and is on my recent purchases so im expecting the money to come out any minute.. Also what she purchased hasnt even come? Can i be refunded?

    I'm sorry, but your sister, unless she had already turned on the "Find my iPhone" feature and the person who took the phone has not disabled it, is out of luck. She should report the theft to local police authorities, including the serial number of her iPhone. While her experience is unfortunate, there are good reasons why Apple cannot do anything else about it.
    I hope she gets her phone back.
    Best of luck.

  • HT203301 iPhone 4S compass 180° out and other times all over the place after ios7 update. Anybody else had this?

    Since updating to iOS 7 the compass on my iPhone 4S is all over the place but mainly 180° out tried calibrating rebooting etc etc and no difference.!

    Nope, i generally hate iTunes for it being annoying and incredibly "damaging" to the computer (slows my computer down a shitload when booting atleast), so I've avoided it at any costs till now. Shame apple "forces" us to use their more "******" apps in order to "guard" ourselves against stuff like this... I'll survive, the most important pics are on facebook, and the apps and contacts I can easily replace. For my part Apple has one life less when it comes to me buying another product from them.
    Thanks for all the replys , i appreciate a community like this!

  • Kaspersky stopped working after 10.9.2 update. Anybody else having the same problem?

    After updating to 10.9.2 I noticed that the Kaspersky icon had gone grey. When I opened the application it said " Some components cannot be enabled". I tried un-installing Kaspersky and re-installing but then I got an " Installation failed" message. Kaspersky version is 8.06.863.c.d.g.

    You do not need this Antivirus software if you are just running OS X.
    Completely uninstall Kaspersky per the instructions on the developer's website.
    Also, read this link about Macs and Mac malware and viruses and antivirus software.
    https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-1982
    If you feel compelled to run antivirus on OS X, the ones that have less performance impact on the system are
    VirusBarrier Express (found in the Mac App Store).

  • Nice and fast, but overall unstable. Anybody else?

    Summary iPhoto 6 issues:
    - Frequently (one in every 10 or so uses) tells me to rebuild the thumbs which takes a LONG time with 4000+ photos - How come?
    - 3 total fatal crashes since install; Had to start the library over from scratch each time as the library db was corrupted (but ok when I started a new library and imported the pictures back, except I lost my rolls, comments, ratings, albums, etc. each time)
    - Some pictures occasionally (seemingly randomly) come up as dotted lines, but are ok when I look at them in edit view; eventually fixed but not sure how
    - Two of my pictures come up black, but look ok when in edit view; eventually fixed but not sure how
    I've got the latest hardware, software, updates, rebuilt a vanilla install from a zeroed disk with a single user, repaired permissions, run disk utilities, blah, blah, blah... Overall I've spent more than 50 hours on iPhoto 6 problems, but they don't go away.

    Thank goodness for iLife 08'. Was worth the wait.

  • IPhone 6 plus still can't download or update apps, anybody else having this problem?

Bingo, movement and some apps are moving. Like him some are still saying they cannot connect at this time. So it's starting to work again...thanks you guy's there's no place like home.

  • New MacBook and The Infinitely Spinning Beach Ball: Anybody Else?

    I wonder if I'm the only MacBook owner having this experience, or if there might be some company in my misery?
    I purchased a new Aluminum MacBook on Nov.14. This one is the high-end, 2.4GHz model with 4GB of RAM and currently running OSX 10.5.5.
    I have in the past few days (or week, or so) encountered what appears to be an intermittent performance failure. I will, for example, be in Apple Mail: Open a new message to compose, and as soon as I click on the open window, the beach balls starts spinning... and continues to spin for a minute or two. Typically, when this starts happening, when I get the cursor back I click again, and the beachball resumes spinning.
    This will also happen in Firefox, or, as it did yesterday, even accessing items in the upper-right menu bar. Suspecting an impending hard-drive failure, I clicked the Time Capsule icon in the menu to see when I got my last backup, and instead of getting Time Capsule, I got... the spinning beach ball of death.
    The most difficult thing about this dilemma is that it appears to be intermittent. I took the MacBook to the dealer that sold it to me yesterday, was unable to replicate the issues. Everything worked fine in the store. Came home, problem returned for about 10 or 15 minutes, then it went away and the computer performed normally until I closed the lid to go out for the evening.
    Then this morning I opened the lid again and.... spinning beach balls for a total of about 17 minutes. And now, again, it appears to be working fine.
    While I was at the store, we ran a disc verify in disk utility, and it returned the message "The volume Macintosh HD appears to be OK."
    This is the worst kind of problem -- the intermittent one. I suspect something in the computer itself, in the believe that hardware issues are more likely to be intermittent than software issues; I could be wrong about that, I dunno.
    All I do know is that I can have maddening periods when I can't do anything with the computer, and then, just as suddenly, everything goes back to normal.
    So I wonder if there might be anything in the circuitry in these new MacBooks that might be causing a similar problem for others. Or is this my unique cross to bear until the thing goes completely south?
    Thanks,
    --PS

    Have you tried running the diagnostics from the Leopard disc? If not, give it a go to see what it finds. To run it, boot while holding the "d" key (with Leopard disc in ofcourse).
    Haven't tried that, I did not know that was on the disk. I'll run it, how long might it take? What sort of tests does it run, what sort of results should I expect?
    Another thing to try is reset the SMC.
    Following the link you provided suggests there might be some things in the SMC that could be causing my problems. Should I do that before or after I run the diagnostics? Would the diagnostics tell me if that's something I need to do?
    If still nothing... perhaps a reinstall of Leopard.
    I call that the "Vietnam Solution" -- destroying the village in order to save it. I thought was done with that sort of thing when I abandoned PCs and Windows. Not a desirable outcome.
    As a last resort, you might consider trying a new hard drive. A failing drive can cause theses intermittent delays.
    That was my initial thought, too. Are there any diagnostics I can run besides dick utility to determine the integrity of the hard drive? Do the diagnostics on the Leopard install disk do that?
