Will the security update be available for IOS 6?

Not so - Apple says they have release iOS 6.1.6 to address the security problem. However no one seems to know how to get it since every request for an update only offers iOS 7. Very strange...
Nothing strange about it.  iOS update only allows the installation of the latest release based on the hardware it detects you are using.  The 6.1.6 update is only available to those devices that CANNOT run iOS 7, like the iPhone 3Gs.  For any device capable of running iOS 7, the iOS update system will ONLY offer the option of updating to iOS 7.0.6, regardless of whether the device is still running iOS 6 at the time you try to update it.
That is how the iOS update system has always worked - you simply cannot update to a lesser iOS release then the most recent for your particular hardware.

  • WHEN WILL THE NEW IPHONE BE AVAILABLE FOR ON-LINE PURCHASE?

    Ordered the first iphone on-line and want to order the new one the same way. When will the new model be available for on-line purchase?

    Maybe never, but doubtful anyone here has any idea before Apple makes an announcement.
    We can thank the hackers and those more interested in making a few bucks by selling non-activated iPhones via eBay.

  • When will the Flash Player be available for HTC phones?

    whaen does the flash player become available for htc phones, send me a message please...

    I wish I had some way to give you hope but unfortunately you're definitely not the first person to ask this question.  VZW has made it clear that they aren't in the customer service business so we now must take matter into our own hands.  Write directly to the CEO.
    You can contact Mr. Daniel S. Mead (CEO) by going to www.verizon.com/about/leader/contact/73.
    Maybe if enough of us say something they'll try to at least pretend they appreciate our money.

  • Why is the new update not available for iPhone 3g?

    My iPhone has not had an update for months, yet the new operating system is available for all models except mine!

    not change the function they provide right now

  • My iPhone 4s says that my software version 5.0.1 is up to date.  Why am I not receiving the notification that the new update is available for me to download?

    I have an iPhone 4s, not jailbroken.   I was able to update to 5.0.1 when it came out last year.  When 5.1.1 came out, I noticed that I never received the
    notification that a new update was available.  I updated my 2 ipads and my wife's iphone 4.  I didn't bother looking into it, since I didn't feel the need to update to 5.1.1.  Now I want to update to ios 6, but when I go to Settings > General > Software Update.  It checks for updates , but still shows me that my 5.0.1 is up to date.  I plug into itunes and check for update there and it still indicates that 5.0.1. is up to date as well. 
    Does anyone know what this is happening and how I can update to ios 6?
    Thanks for the input.

  • Will the Apple Configurator be available for Windows PC's soon?

    Any idea?

    I know of very few organizations doing mass deployment of Apple TVs that don't have at least one Mac somewhere, so for most it's not an issue. But if your organization is one that does not have any Macs at all and can't justify the purchase of one for management and deployment of iOS devices, use Apple's feedback page to explain your need:

  • When will the iBook app be available for Mac OS X

    This to me seems like a no brainer.....   iBooks should be available on all Mac OS'.  Just seems silly that I can read it on my iPad and iPhone but not my iMac.  What is Apple waiting for and when will it be available.
    B

    No one here would have any idea when or if Apple is planning on releasing an iBook app/reader for OS X.
    But I do agree with you. I would like to be able to read them on my Mac as well.

    There's no 3.6.18, so there appears to be a glitch in the update checking. Or the message is not really from Firefox (malware site).

  • Why is the IOS 8 update not available for the Iphone 4?

    Why is the IOS 8 update not available for the Iphone 4? Will it ever be available? I cannont afford a new Iphone at this time so why am i being penalized for not having a new Iphone. Very upset

    I think they want you to upgrade to the new Iphone  or get the Iphone c or s
    Well of course they would, but that's not why iPhone 4 can't have iOS8.  It is simply the fact iPhone 4 can't support the features of iOS8.  Le'ts be realistic in recognizing iPhone 4 is now over 4 years old.  In cell phone land, that is ancient........
