IPSW & iTunes 11

For me, running iTunes 11.0.1 on a Mac mini (Late 2012) running OS X 10.8.2 with an ipad (3rd Gen)(Wifi) attached, clicking alt/option-"Check for Update" and alt/option-"Restore iPad" both bring up a dialog box to choose an IPSW. I "updated" to 6.1(B5) last night without issue.
No. It treats it as a straight update, not a restore. You shouldn't lose anything. You just have to repeat a couple of settings screens when it comes back on, not the entire new device setup. And all your apps, folders, and settings should still be there.
I still did both iCloud and iTunes backups before proceeding, but it went off without a hitch.

I see two versions of iOS 6.1b5 for the iPhone 5: an A1428 version and an A1429 version. You should use the A1429 for international GSM.Okay working now
But now it says its an invalid firmware!
No it's bloody not! Unless I pressed download on the wrong link lol?
iPhone 5 GSM (UK) is the 5.1 update right? Not 5.2
It's odd, but the iPhone 5,1 and iPhone 5,2 designations don't line up with the A1428 and A1429 model numbers. There are actually 3 iPhone 5's. There's an A1428 5,1 (US GSM), an A1429 5,2 (CDMA), and an A1429 5,1 (Intl GSM).
The iOS 6.1b5 versions are based on the A1428 or A1429 designations.

Damn.. Not a dev.. Any chance of me loaning your account for a minute so i can just get the file?
Yes there's some confusion here

There is
1) GSM USA/Canada
2) CDMA USA/Japan
3) GSM International
iPhone 5,1 Firmware is for GSM USA/Canada
iPhone 5,2 Firmware is for CDMA USA/Japan ***AND*** GSM International

Nice try, but I'm a bit protective of my Apple ID and password.
I'm sure it'll spread more widely as the day goes on.
I didn't think there was an exact correspondence between A1428 and A1429 and iPhone 5,1 and 5,2. At least according to everymac.com, there is not.
The iOS release versions are based on the A1428 vs A1429 model designations. The iPhone 5,1 vs 5,2 model numbers are based on GSM vs CDMA.
Or maybe some of the reference sites are confused.
