Apple Releases iOS 6.1 with New LTE Carriers and Fandango Siri Integration

[stiligFox]

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?

don't know. some people still have their router forever and don't want to change it.

They should just turn WEP off. Using WEP is not a significant upgrade from running a completely open network.

I have noticed that error happens when I'm at work on wi-fi and our firewall kicks in.

Yeah I am at work right now too as Ivan trying to install this update. Should I just wait until I get home to install it or is there a workaround?

Thanks

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!

any change to Verizon carrier settings version? Secretly hoping there been some progress with the unnecessarily weak LTE.

There were baseband changes, so who knows?

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.

I have do not disturb set to 12:00am to 6:30am. I just put it on and it shows in DND mode. Wonderful.

Umm, wouldn't that just indicated that DND is enabled, not that it is actually being implemented? Have you even tried it because I just did...

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.

Yeah, WEP isn't very secure, but it still stops the average Joe from connecting to your network.

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.

 

[1Alec1]

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.

What device are you using? I've had no such problems.

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

Elaborate please! What's back??

Didn't your teacher ever tell you not to use wikipedia as a source?

Do teachers ever know anything about the Internet? Wikipedia is reputable. Trust me, I've tried messing with it in the past. They're very careful.

Patiently waiting for the jailbreak

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

 

[aluren]

Can someone please tell me if Safari is snappier? Need this confirmed before I do the update.

 

[Codyak]

They updated how music is controlled on the lock screen as well.

Yeah, WEP isn't very secure, but it still stops the average Joe from connecting to your network.

+1. Putting a lock on your door that can be broken into within seconds (given the right set of tools) is still better than no lock at all.

well i can't tell them what to do, however it's a bug and apple should fix it.

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.
