Hey Guys,

I've just finished flashing my iPad 3 and iPhone 4S to the iOS 6 Beta, added both UUIDs to the Provisioning Portal about 2 hours ago.

iPad reports that the Activation Servers are unavailable and to try Activating via iTunes, which does nothing, just hangs.

iPhone 4S reports that the device is not registered in the Developer Program.

I'm guessing that this is a Server Load issue at the moment as the Beta has only been floating around the dev portal for a few hours.

Anybody else having issues issues?

Thanks

Im having the same issue but only with my New ipad , my 3gs updated no problem , its very frustrating!!!

So the 3GS is getting iOS6? I haven't heard that. If so that is excellent news.

I'm tempted to try and find a copy or someone to register my UDID for my iPad so I can try out Siri.

Have a fix instead of waiting for apple servers just put in DFU mode restore to 5.1.1 then option-click update instead of restore... works no problem!!!

Hey, looks like Apple are really pushing the Delta Update system over full-restores with both OS X and iOS now. Incremental Updates from iTunes, I approve.

I'd totally offer to add you to mine, but, I use my corporate developer account now, and I don't think my boss would approve :p.

Yeah, 3GS getting updated, but iPad first gen getting left behind. Doesn't seam fair!

Download it via developer.apple.com and install by Option-Clicking 'Update' in iTunes, opening the DMG and using the IPSW inside.

Took about 15 minutes to install on my iPhone 4S.

Performance of iOS is WAY faster, but many bugs exist already.

      "...but it may not be Microsoft's fault" seems like a reasonable way to tease what is going on without leaving the user with a false impression that an update is the problem. A title isn't a summery, it is meant to entice the user to read the article. It should not contain a misleading premise; which this title does not. You could maybe complain that the first paragraph should have included that detail. The writing style popularized over 100 years ago in newspapers will cover the most important information as soon as possible with details and nuance added later; the idea being that with each new paragraph you have less of the reader's focus.
    • Samsung Galaxy XR arrives in the UK with new AI and enterprise features

      Samsung Galaxy XR arrives in the UK with new AI and enterprise features by Fiza Ali Samsung is bringing its Galaxy XR headset to the UK several months after the device made its debut as the first headset built on Google's Android XR platform. The headset was first teased in late 2024 alongside Google's introduction of Android XR before making its commercial debut in 2025. Developed in collaboration with Google and Qualcomm, Galaxy XR combines mixed reality experiences with Gemini-powered AI features, allowing users to interact with digital content using voice, gestures, and visual inputs. While the hardware itself remains largely unchanged from the version Samsung unveiled last year, the company is using the UK launch to spotlight several software enhancements that have arrived through recent updates. Among the most notable additions is deeper integration with Google's ecosystem. Galaxy XR users can explore destinations through Google Maps' Immersive View, receiving AI-powered recommendations and contextual information from Gemini while navigating virtual environments. Furthermore, entertainment experiences have also expanded; users can watch 180-degree and 360-degree videos on YouTube, browse spatial content converted into 3D, and ask Gemini questions about on-screen content without interrupting playback. Samsung is also highlighting mixed-reality features such as Circle to Search, which allows users to identify real-world objects through hand gestures while using the headset's video pass-through mode. Another feature automatically converts photos and videos into spatial 3D experiences. Moreover, the headset now also supports Android Enterprise, allowing organisations to manage deployments using existing Android management tools. Annika Bizon, Vice President, Product and Marketing, Mobile Experience, Samsung UK & Ireland, talked about the device, stating: The headset is powered by Qualcomm's Snapdragon XR2+ Gen 2 platform and features dual 4K Micro-OLED displays. The tech giant says that users can expect up to 2.5 hours of battery life. Samsung also confirmed that Galaxy XR will continue receiving software and security updates as the company works alongside Google and Qualcomm to expand the Android XR ecosystem. Galaxy XR is now available for pre-order and will go on sale on 8 July. Customers interested in trying the headset before launch can visit Samsung KX in London and selected Samsung Experience Stores from 17 June. Finally, the company will also host a livestream on 19 June showcasing the headset's capabilities and answering questions from prospective customers.
