I do t why but I am getting this error message when I try to install iOS 6.1 on my iPod touch 5g. What to do??? Help. Also I posted this message from my iPod touch 5g so I do have Internet access.

I'm getting the same issue :C I'm guessing maybe it's an iPod touch problem then?

It could be related to people being unable to update their iPod touch 5th gens to the ios 6.1 beta 5. Since this is the exact same thing as the 5th beta, apple might have to release a patch to allow iPod 5 users to update.

Anyone with a 5th gen iPod that can or can't update please post here!
 
It wants me to install this on my iPhone 4 even though I don't have Siri or LTE. It also mentions bugfixes. I'm guessing it's just bugfixes. It would be a welcome update if I wasn't jailbroken. 😛
 
I just installed it. Noticed two thing:
#1 - I had to go through a routine regarding iCloud to add security questions and a recovery email address

#2 - ActiveSync from my company's Exchange server seems snappier. Emails seem to be pushing to the phone a lot sooner than they did before. But that's just a perception call on my part.

That's because exchange email push was broken with ios 6.0 (generally you had to manually check email to get corporate exchange email downloaded to an iphone 5). Supposedly 6.1 fixes it. Your #2 observation is encouraging.
 
They should just turn WEP off. Using WEP is not a significant upgrade from running a completely open network.

Seriously? Not everyone is a hacker running around with KisMac. If you have an open network, every person walking by with an iPhone or something will connect.

That's not true; at least for the masses. I had the iPhone 5 the second week of release, and connected to Exchange 2010 fine. Emails pushed to me with no issues at all.
 
Glad to see the purchased tab on the app store still crashes it. 😡

On another note the badge and unread count on the email clears much quicker now when deleting emails.
 
I got to say, that stating how a feature of this update is to use SIRI with FANDANGO is about as useful as a dress on a pig.

Sorry - that denotes an entire version sub-update? 6.01 to 6.1 - MEH!

It adds LTE support for a bunch of different carriers. I'd consider that a big update even though it doesn't affect me or you.

That's exactly what I experienced before: I had to open the Mail app to get my Exchange emails to come in (unless I let a lot of time pass). Now they are showing up at the same time they appear in Outlook.
 
IPv6 over LTE!!!

It's BACK!!!!!! YAAAAY!!!!!!!!

EDIT: Well, at least on my ip5. Not my 3rd gen iPad, unfortunately.
 
Patiently waiting for the jailbreak 😎

On another note, totally dig the animated gears in Software Update on my iPhone 5 :apple:

I have the same error and was able to update my iPad and my iPhone.
Tried via iTunes , it says this version is not compatible with my device.
