Where do iOS updates come from? Apple or the service provider?

Having a discussion with somebody on another forum. When an update to iOS is released, does your iPhone get it from Apple or from the service provider such as AT&T?
I've heard of Android users having issues because they have to wait for their service provider to release OS updates to their phones but this doesn't seem to be an issue with iPhones, iPads, etc.

ONLY from Apple either through iTunes or online update if you have iOS5 or newer

  • I had a replacement iphone 4 sent from apple through the service plan and now need to change carriers, orange dont now have my imei registered on their database and cant process the unlock can i unlock another way without jailbreak?

    Hi philhardinges,
    You can ask Apple support for the replacement receipt, this receipt would have the old iphone information(including Imei) and the replacement iphone information.
    I had a problem like you and they sent me that information, then with the old imei you can unlock your iphone
    Another way to take the old iphone imei, you can look for the original iphone box, yep, the one i hope you saved carefully somewhere in your house hahaha. The imei is showed on the bottom of the box down-right corner.
    Hope this information can help you.
    Best regards

  • I just updated to Lion and my Microsoft Word, Excel and PowerPoint will not open because PowerPC applications are no longer supported. I bought this software from Apple and the store installed it when I bought the MAC. What do I do?

    Buy version 2011 of MS Office.
    Or you can download OpenOffice, LibreOffice or NeoOffice, which all come very close to working with MS files just like MS Office does.
    Or iWord, I have heard, you can purchase.

    It is hardly Apple's fault that Epson can't/won't update their driver, but at least Epson suggest that you use the Gutenprint driver, which in any case is far better that what Epson offer.
    You can get it here:
    http://gimp-print.sourceforge.net/
    You can download the latest version from here:
    http://sourceforge.net/projects/gimp-print/
    Have you downloaded the recent Apple update to Epson drivers?

    You would have to purchase a retail Leopard installer DVD. Since they are difficult to find you may need to search on eBay, Amazon.com, and Google to find a suitable copy.
    If you have an Intel iMac, then you may want to consider upgrading to Snow Leopard which you can purchase at any Apple retailer for $29.00 versus the minimum price of $129.00 for Leopard.
    Leopard System requirements
    You must have a Macintosh computer with:
    an Intel processor or a PowerPC G4 (867 MHz or faster) or G5 processor
    a DVD drive >built-in FireWire
    at least 512 MB of RAM (additional RAM is recommended for development purposes)
    a built-in display or a display connected to an Apple-supplied video card supported by your computer
    at least 9 GB of disk space available, or 12 GB of disk space if you install the developer tools
    Snow Leopard General requirements
    Mac computer with an Intel processor
    1GB of memory
    5GB of available disk space
    DVD drive for installation
    Some features require a compatible Internet service provider; fees may apply.
    Some features require Apple’s MobileMe service; fees and terms apply.
    And, you could also upgrade to Lion by purchasing the Apple USB Lion flash drive installer for $69.00.
    Lion System Requirements
    Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor
    2GB of memory
    OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
    7GB of available space
    Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.

  • Where did these tracks come from?

    I was helping a friend hook up his IPOD. His IPOD was given to him by a friend. ITUNES was already on his PC.
    When I connected the IPOD, ITUNES started "converting" a bunch of songs from one format to antoher. It took so long I had to cancel it. But already there were about 10 albums that had been "converted" and now appeared in his library.
    I just assumed these were songs from his IPOD. But when I browsed the IPOD using the ipod screen, it shows up empty.
    (1) Where did these songs come from?
    (2) How would I get the rest of the songs, wherever they are?
    (NOTE FYI -- I also am having a problem updating, can't update ipod, option is greyed out. I tried "restoring" the ipod, no help. I didn't do a reset because I did't know how. I will when I return)

    I'm always willing to be proven wrong, but to my understanding iTunes will under no circumstances add music from your iPod into the library on the PC. There is no supported way to move music from the iPod to the PC.
    There are, however, 3rd party applications that will do this.
    As for where the imported music was coming from, my guess would be an existing Mp3 or wma music collection the person had on their PC. If itunes searched the pc for music when it first was installed, and found files not in .m4a format, it would convert them and import them into the library.
    What are the tracks? It could have even been importing the sample music or system sounds that come with windows, I suppose.

    Why is it they claim to sell you something they do NOT intend on allowing you access to for the life of your account?
    It is not Apple that decides this. Since Apple is just the retailer, they do not own the copyrights to the content they sell on the iTunes store, if the copyright owner decides to remove something from the store that you have purchased Apple must abide by the terms of their licenseing agreements and remove it. Regretablly this also removes the items from your purchase history. This is why it is up to you to download and backup all of your purchases if you wish to maintain your investment.
    In the Apple KB article Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore and iTunes Store, and in many other places, it is clearly stated:
    It is recommended that you always back up your iTunes library in the event that a purchased item is no longer available on the iTunes Store. For more information about backing up your library, see this article.

  • Getting Logic 9 update refund from Apple

    Hi,
    I started a related thread some while ago, but as things are a little different, I'm starting a new one.
    I took the advice given here in this forum and ordered my Logic 9 update from Thomann.de ( as I live in Germany) after being sent the wrong version twice by Apple. My order was delivered within 2 days !
    I returned both wrong ones to Apple as instructed: via UPS, on 18 November. I received a refund for one only ...... and then another wrong one was delivered.
    Since then I've written dozens and dozens of Emails- even sending them in bulk, 10 at a time to each person in the hope that I'll get an answer - and telephoned many times. But no refund. And no contact to arrange collection of the 3rd false article from Apple.
    The problem as I see it: each time I phone (to Berlin) I speak to a - new- nice polite person who promises to help ( 7 named contacts by now ) and sends me their own Email address as contact. And then nothing happens.
    And when I've phoned and asked specifically to speak to these people I get to hear:
    1. not at their workplace
    2. can't be found
    3. no person of that name here
    4. can't make direct contact - in another building
    5. on holiday
    6. must be ill
    7. no direct phone contact between individual employees so cannot connect to a previous contact
    8. we don't have individual extension numbers so cannot find a previous contact ... although there are only 70 people working in this Apple Support Centre
    9. it's the holiday season so we're very busy - that's why you haven't had an answer.
    Which means - as these people don't ever answer the emails I write - that I can never follow up a conversation. And I can't find out if they really have sent on my request/compaint to Apple HQ in Ireland ........ or if they really sent an email to the Apple Finance centre asking why I haven't received the 2nd refund.
    I'm at my wit's end.
    Does anyone have a suggestion how to finally get my refund ?
    Thanks,
    Kay.

    Well- something exraordinary has happened ! The last young man I spoke to at Apple has actually DONE something: he's read through my - very long - file, has summarised the 'events' and conseqences, has heartily aplogised and has promised to get me my refund
    And I believe him.
    Faith in Apple nature is returning. .....
    The Ebay suggestion was a way I hadn't thought of going but now not necesary.
    Thanks for answeing,
    Kay

  • Where do array Methods Come From?

    I've been curious about this for awhile. I can't find anything useful on google; all I end up with are array tutorials, which don't go into the "meat and potatoes" of my question at all.
    It's probably easiest to point out what I'm asking by posting the following first:
    public class TestArray{
       public static void main(String [] args){
          String [] catSounds = {"meow", "purr", "growl"};
          System.out.println(catSounds.toString());
          System.out.println("length: " + catSounds.length);
    }Okay, so given a basic String array (could be an array of anything, including primitives, but I just used String for simplicity's sake), we can call functions on it, like toString above. However, for lack of better wording, where does that method come from? I used eclipse's "open declaration" feature on the method, and it took me to toString in Object. But I didn't think a basic array was an Object?
    Similarly, where is the length field stored (eclipse's "open declaration" feature doesn't work on it)? It has to be encapsulated by some class somewhere, right?
    Is there a hidden class that extends Object (duh) and encapsulates the information for an array, and does the java compiler just translate the array syntax into calls to that class? Or am I missing something?

    kevinaworkman wrote:
    That link explains some of it. It explains all of it. ;o)
    So was I correct when I said there's a "hidden" (inaccessible and not listed in the API) class that extends Object and encapsulates the array data?Sort of yes, sort of no.
    10.8 Class Objects for Arrays
    Every array has an associated Class object, shared with all other arrays with the same component type. The direct superclass of an array type is Object. Every array type implements the interfaces Cloneable and java.io.Serializable.
    There isn't a general single Array class the way you're thinking (java.lang.reflect.Array isn't what you're looking for). Arrays have special support in the Java language, as described in the JLS.
    Why go through the trouble of having special syntax for an array if there's a class that could have been used just like any other class?Tradition.

    Hi,
    If you are wondering, how BAPIs/RFCs come into XI system then below are few points to be considered.
    1. First of all there should be a connection between XI & R3 system to communicate with each other.
    2. Scecondly the BAPIs/RFCs in R3 system should be "Remote enabled".
    3. Login to Integratin Repository then open your corresponding namespace and expand Imported Objects then right click on RFCs and press continue. It will ask you to provide the IP address, User ID & passord of R3 system. Once you provide the correct authonication details it will return al list of all BAPIS/RFCs present in R3 system. Just select you BAPI and continue. Once it is done you can see you corresponding BAPI under Imported objects.
    I hope the above information will help you.
    Regards,
    Sarvesh

  • Where does the data come from which powers the ship date and delivery date

    Hi All,
    Please let me know, where does the data come from which powers the ship date and delivery date?.
    Adi.

    Hi,
    DELIVERY DATE  will be maintain in the SALES DOCUMENT TYPES in VOV8 in the tab REQUESTED DELIVERY DATE/PRICING DAE/PURCHASE ORDER DATE.
    The field is PROPOSE DELIVERY DATE .
    If you check the field then the document created date will be the Requested date and will be carried from ORDER TO DELIVERY.
    If you want the delivery date other thann the CURRENT date then you have to maintain the LEAD TIME in days in the same tab.
    SHIP DATE: is the date on which you do the PGI in the delivery .
    Please check them and revert back if u need further details
    thanks,

  • HT1918 After seven ios updates, why is iBooks still the only app that won't synch between iphone & ipad?!?

    After seven ios updates, why is iBooks still the only app that won't synch between iphone &amp; ipad?!?

    Hi there,
    Thanks for the reply.  I did think that could be the case but then other books would also show up as apps on phone but not counted as an app.  Maybe book apps downloaded from the app store work in this way whereas books bought from the ibooks app show in ibooks and not as apps.
    I guess that would make sense, it must be because they are books but downloaded from the app store rather than the book store so they are visible as an app but don't actually get counted as an app.
    Would you think that's the case too?
    Thanks
