When to upgrade an IOS

I have two 6509's each with an RSM. The RSM is running IOS 12.1, 121-2.E to be exact. The supervisor (Sup1a) is running version 6.1(4).
Should these be upgraded as a matter of course, or, are they fine as is ?

For any network infrastructure, one should baseline and periodically evaluate the running software. Consistency across like platforms and being on a supported current release are two good criterion one should meet (besides the obvious of having a release that meets your needs). Any inconsistency should be for validated reasons that are documented and revisited at the next review cycle.
New releases include not just bug fixes, but also features (the whole purpose of Cisco "T" (technology) train software releases).
One other thing to consider in the specific situation you describe is the possibility of moving off of hybrid (CatOS on the Sup + IOS on the MSFC) to a native IOS image. Many folks find the native integration of the switchs layer 2 and layer 3 functionality to be a more intuitive configuration.

When I upgraded to ios 5, it asked me a for a new game center name. How do I use my old game center name, since it makes me start some games over without it?

Carefully follow steps 1-9 outlined by wjosten in this post: https://discussions.apple.com/message/13356770#13356770. This will not, however, avoid wiping any non-purchased media from your phone (ripped CDs, etc.) as this is only synced one way: from your computer to your phone. You will have to either rebuild your iTunes library with this content and sync again to restore it to your phone, or purchase 3rd party software to copy it from your phone to iTunes prior to syncing (such as Touch Copy).

Why is it that when i upgraded to ios 6, my ipad 2 no longer connects to known networks automatically

why is it that when i upgraded to ios 6, my ipad 2 no longer connects to known networks automatically?

Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
    •    Launch Settings app
    •    Tap on Wi-Fi
    •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
    •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

HT203167 I lost my ringtones from my phone when I upgraded to iOS 6 on my iPhone 4. They are still on my computer, but won't re-transfer back to the phone. I'm using the correct iTunes account. How do I get my ringtones back on my phone?

How do I get my ringtones back on my phone?
I lost my ringtones from my phone when I upgraded to iOS 6 on my iPhone 4. The ringtones are still on my computer and play in iTunes, but they won't re-transfer back to the phone. I'm using the correct iTunes account on both my computer and phone. In the iPhone view of iTunes on my computer, it shows that my phone recognizes that I had those ringtones, but there is an exclamation mark showing that my phone can't find the files. I can't delete these "placeholders" from my phone with the hopes of re-transfering the files back to the phone, either. I cannot just simply re-transfer the files from my computer back to the phone. It won't let me using the regular synch options and I can't find anything in the menus of iTunes to help me out either.
Any advice would be much appreciated.

Ignore. I figured it out:)

Will I lose my app data when I upgrade to ios 8

I Am considering upgrading to ios 8 for the new apps and features it brings but I am wondering if my apps will work on ios 8 and data will be saved? I know that when I upgraded to ios 7 all my data was still there, and I have heard ios 8 is similar to ios 7 in terms of look not like ios 6 to 7.
p.s. If this is the wrong place to post this question move it to where the right place is.

My iPad 4 runs fine on IOS 8.1.2, you should have no problems. To second what mende1 has already said be sure to make a backup first. The one time I had troubles with a update and needed to restore my iPad the iCloud backup fully restored all my infomation.

The App Store App disappeared when I upgraded to iOS 8.1.3. I Restored my iPhone 5 and it still did not appear. How do I get it back?

The App Store App disappeared when I upgraded to iOS 8.1.3 on my iPhone 5. Restore didn't work, any suggestions?

Any restrictions set up in Settings/General/Restrictions? If yes, disable them. Default apps that are restricted will disappear from the screen, lifting the restrictions again will bring them back.

Hello guys i face a problem when i upgrade from iOS 4.2.1 to iOS 5.1.1 .when i upgrade i don' t found the camera app from the built in apps.when i try to install from the app store i don't found the correct camera app .please help me .

It's a built-in app, so it can't be deleted nor downloaded from the store. If you can't find it on any of your homescreens or app folders, and you can't find it via the spotlight search screen (swipe your first home screen to the right), then is it hidden by Settings > General > Restrictions > Camera being set 'off' ?
If not then have you tried a reset to see if you can find it after the iPad has restarted ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

What happened to the Podcast fast forward 15 sec function in the lock screen? It went away when I upgraded to iOS 7.1.

I thought the same thing, until I saw there is a podcast update as well in the app store, that fixes this.

I have an iphone 4, when I upgraded to ios 7.1.1 the application 'superlive pro' is not functioning well it is stucked and some times the device needs to be restarted

I have an iphone 4, when I upgraded to ios 7.1.1 the application 'superlive pro' is not functioning well it is stucked and some times the device needs to be restarted

if there is a compatability between the app and newer versions of the ios then likely the developer if he/she knows about it will release an update fixing the issue
but of cause the developer has to know about it so maybe you should inform the developer about the issue and wait for a fix

Siri stopped working on on iphone 6 Plus when I upgraded to ios 8.0.2

I can hold the Home button and Siri comes about but its as if the Microphone is muted. It doesn't recognize my voice at all.
Furthermore, speech to text function seems to be suffering from the same thing when I'm trying to send a text message.
The issue arose after I upgraded to iOS 8.0.2 Build (12A405)
Has anyone else experienced this issue?

I personally have tried everything that Apple has provided for me. All the System Restore through iTunes, Factory Reset in Settings>General>Reset. Nothing has helped me in this situation. I am currently using the iPhone 6 Plus and has had it for a little over a month. I really don't think that the issue is with the software but an issue with the hardware since my sister and other family members is currently using the iPhone 6 Plus as well and is running the current software as I am. Apple has sent me a repair box to send to them since that is my last resort since my local AT&T store wont help me, and because my nearest Apple Store is about 2 hours and 30 minutes away. If I had a credit card or tons of money in the bank I could of had them send me a new replacement in no time and I would have to do is send my old one in with in 10 days. My goal is to have received the package, and have it delievered by Monday January 5,2015. I will post of up-to-date information on how my situation has been fixed and if I have any problems with the device when I come back.

How can I retrieve my phone contacts? I lost them when I upgraded to IOS 8.2

I upgraded to IOS 8.2 and now have only Facebook Contacts on my phone. All other phone contacts are gone. And, I can no longer "add" new contacts as the + sign no longer appears in the top right corner of my contact screen. Need advice and help. Apple Support is closed right now.

Good Afternoon Krista1961,

Lost my youtube app when i upgrade to iOS 6. how to retrieve my favourites list?

Hello, unlike most people, I am not happy to upgrade to iOS 6 - for the simplest reason that I have lost my youtube app in my (actually my father's) iPad 2 when I did so.
I know I was supposed to be more aware when I tinkered with the update manuals and REMEMBER that youtube app isn't supported anymore, but I forgot.
Now all I need to know is: is it possible for me to retrieve whatever videos I saved in my favourites list in that app? I'm thinking of downgrading it back to iOS 5. The chance is slim, but if there are some great "manipulators" out there within the Apple fans, I would really appreciate that - for the reason that those videos were: a) saved since 3 months ago (and there are loads), and; b) half of them belongs to my sister. And I do NOT want to face her with this unfixed.
Help out there???

I can still access my favorites in the mobile site using Safari. Go here and sign in.

Tap on the rectangles at the top on the right side - across from the YouTube logo and then tap
The Favorites icon - the heart icon.

When i upgrade my ios, will I loose my voice memos

I have heard that Upgrading my ios on my iPhone that I will loose all of my manually recorded voice memos (not voice messages). They are too big to email off of the iPhone. any help is appreciated.
Ralph

It is always a good idea to back up before an upgrade
Back up to iTunes will preserve your memos in the event you have to do a restore
http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT4946
What iTunes backs up
Photos (photos, screenshots, images saved, and videos taken) and Saved Photos (in devices without a camera).
Contacts* and Contact Favorites. (You should regularly sync your contacts to a computer or cloud service, such as iCloud.)
Health (only if you have an encrypted backup).
Calendar accounts, events, and subscribed calendars.
Safari bookmarks, cookies, history, offline data, and currently open pages.
Autofill for webpages.
Offline web app cache/database.
Notes.
Mail accounts. (Mail messages aren't backed up.)
Microsoft Exchange account configurations.
Call history.
Messages (iMessage and carrier SMS or MMS pictures and videos).
Voicemail token. (This isn't the voicemail password, but it is used for validation when connecting. This is only restored to a phone with the same phone number on the SIM card.)
Voice memos.

My computer crashed, and I lost everything, includingmmovies and music not downloaded in I-tunes...what do I need to do to preserve these files when I upgrade to IOS 5 with the cloud service (I-pad 2)

I had a computer hard drive crash, and lost everything, including music and video I had transferred to my I-Pad 2 from other sources. The upgrade to the current OS warns me that I will lose all non-Apple downloads when I upgrade. I have lots of non-Apple music and videos that I cannot replace. What do I do????

Betsy, the place to look for the conduit settings is not in Palm Desktop, but in the HotSync Manager. This is found in the little Hotsync icon in the bottom right tool tray of your computer.
Click on it, choose Settings, then Applications. Highlight the conduit you wish to change, then click the "Configure" button. Choose the direction you wish. Don't click the "Default" button, or this will be the direction that will occur every time.

What happened to my music and movies on my iPad when i upgraded to iOS 5.01?

I have a Macbook Pro, iPad 2, and an iPhone 4. When I upgraded to iCloud on all of them, I now cannot sync movies or music onto my ipad from my laptop. I can see it via my iphone. Are my accounts out of sync? What is going on? Also, when iDisk goes away, how can I see my documents on iCloud? Really not a user friendly upgrade. Why did I do this again????

I now cannot sync movies or music onto my ipad from my laptop
On the iPad tap Settings > Store
Make sure Music is switched on under Automatic Downloads
I now cannot sync movies
iCloud backs up your:
Purchased music, TV shows, apps, and books
Photos and video in the Camera Roll
Device settings
App data
Home screen and app organization
Messages (iMessage, SMS, and MMS)
Ringtones
From here > Apple - iCloud - Store and back up your content in iCloud.
Also, when iDisk goes away, how can I see my documents on iCloud?
You will go to iCloud.com on your browser then tap the iWork icon.

Will in-house apps disappear when I upgrade to iOS 5?

thanks.

There may be more than a few apps that have been updated so when you update to iOS 5.1 you'll have to update those apps too. But it should be a big problem.
If you have a good solid and fairly fast Wi-Fi network I would do the update on your iPad.
Go to Settings > General > Software Update and follow the prompts to update directly on your iPad.
