Ahaha I like what you did there! I miss Jobs
Me too - it just seems that things aren't working off the shelf anymore but need patches and patience, lots of patience...

They will have to update it to work IF the holes arent patched. When 6.1.1 dropped they still needed to update it before it worked.
Apple store told me yesterday there is one solution: go back to any Apple store and get a new one.... (true!)
I guess you missed my post few posts above yours?

What a life. Update comes out to fix real bugs, add features, plug security holes, and the jailbreak crowd has to sit back and wait to see if it breaks their hack. And if it does they are stuck in a time warp, their platform is arrested at the version the jailbreak works with, waiting for the hackers to fix their hack if it's even possible. Lather, rinse, repeat. How long did the iOS untethered jailbreak take to release? How many months after iOS 6 came out? What a life, just so you can beat your chest and tell everybody how YOU can do anything you want with your iDevice. Impressive.
Not all updates are necessary for everyone. I do not have any exchange issues/battery life issues with mine. I have no need to update.
Jailbreaking is not about telling everyone what I can do with my phone. It's about how I can use my phone. All the tweaks that I have installed increase the functionalities of my phone. I don't jailbreak my device just to theme it. Here's a quick example of Apple's stubbornness: Why the heck do they limit how many apps can fit inside a folder? Does it make sense to have multiple folders for, say, Games (like Games 1, Games 2, etc.)? Is it not better to have one folder called Games and have all your games inside that folder? It's thing like this that Apple forces upon us that makes us want to jailbreak.
That came up for me too I just clicked later and then when I checked in iTunes and settings it said it was up to date. Probably another glitch with iTunes.
The network wouldn't allow that. Think of the amount of traffic, especially when a new version of iOS comes out, not just a bug fix like this.
And what if same thing happens again in one, two months!?
By the way, my garanty period is over in January!
That is such a BIG BUG that APPLE just IGNORE, like they want from us to buy new iPhone 5 better then fixing problem with iPhone 4S!
They should allow updates over cellular if they're small (under 50MB, just like apps)
Very few of us are obsessive and will hit update the INSTANT it comes out. The times I've forgotten to update my phone, I didn't see the "update available" notification for a day or so after it came out anyway.
Yes like with 6.1.1 they have to update Evasi0n to recognize the 6.1.2 IPSW if the jailbreak wasnt patched by apple
I very much doubt the jailbreak will have been removed so early. Evasi0n will just need updated for the new firmware.
In other news: next week sees the release of 6.1.3

Yeah because this was suppose to be a unreleased version of iOS 6.1.1 before it went public. It's probably going to be renamed to iOS 6.1.3. So of course it's not going to have a update since technically it's ahead of iOS 6.1.2
Bricked both my iPhone 5 and iPad 2. Whenever I try to reconnect them to iTunes to restore or sync they both pop up an error -50. Backed up versions in my iTunes Library aren't being supported apparently by the onboard 6.1.2. update. Keeps saying "incompatible database query-"
Nice work, Apple. Totally rush an update and brick a thousand dollars worth of electronics equipment I rely on for my job.

It should work just fine I was running iOS 5 from beta 1 to the last then my backup worked perfectly fine with the Golden release
I am sorry ... but this is a little absurd. Real pros wait. You do not take the chance of being down when you business is reliant on technology.
just say'in.
Yeah. It's supposed to not work. It makes you appreciate the exclusivity of having a successful update!
Just be thankful that your not one of the poor souls on Android who don't actually know what the word update means
I feel for them. I really do! You're right. Absolutely right. Fortunately...I fixed it. If you keep the iOS device wired to the computer as you do a total reset (On the device) back to factory settings, iTunes just straight away senses it as a new device. It allowed me to setup at factory settings in 6.1.2 and THEN without asking me it began to restore from my original Backup. Weird, but it worked.
It's understandable, he probably needs his jailbreak for the multitasking. Oh, wait.What a life. Update comes out to fix real bugs, add features, plug security holes, and the jailbreak crowd has to sit back and wait to see if it breaks their hack. And if it does they are stuck in a time warp, their platform is arrested at the version the jailbreak works with, waiting for the hackers to fix their hack if it's even possible.

why are you against jailbreak? I missed your whole point in the above tirade
