I hope it fixes the sms bugs where the whole darned thing freezes at times.. gah

Well there doesn't seem to be much of anything fixed on this update. I guess we'll have to wait for iOS 6.1 to see any serious fixes, especially to Maps.

My iPod Touch (4th Gen) seems much more snappier and my wifi connections are finally being remembered. I also haven't experienced the App Sore or iTunes apps crashing on me since installing the update.

How does it feel compared to 5.1.1? Any idea how RAM usage compares? I'm reluctant to update as everything is fine here, but just curious.

It's actually quite comparable to iOS 5.1.1. It's a ton better than the vanilla iOS 6. I haven't had anything crash on me or slow down, and I'm sure iOS 6.1.0 (not to be confused with the current 6.0.1) will have a lot more fixes and improvements. If I were you, I wouldn't do the over the air update. It's one of my pet peeves---I hate updates, as it leaves a lot of leftover garbage behind with the possibility of wonky bugs, glitches and slowdowns. Download the .ipsw from a website for your particular device and do a clean install.

Thanks for the tip. My 4G came with 5.0.1 installed and I updated it OTA each time. I might try doing a clean install of 5.1.1 and restore from backup just to see if there's any noticable difference. Then I'll be familiar with the process if I take the plunge and go to 6.

Well, that didn't work. I made sure to download the correct version of the iPod software (build number also matched what is currently installed) but iTunes refuses to restore it. I tried the troubleshooting guide on Apple but can't see anything there I could try.

here's a snippet from the updater log:


amai: tss_submit_job: error from server=94 (This device isn't eligible for the requested build.)

    • Deal for those who want 1900 size electronics in their house? with 2026/7 hardware mhm.. not nice
    • Cheap labour, the same as the U.K. China pays their people pittance.
    • Those people that come over here on boats are already in a safe country, if they want to come over here then do so correctly though the right channels. I was born in the U.K, my family that came over here came so via the proper means. My partner came here via the correct channels, she also became a British citizen, she knows more about this country than most of them that was born here, including myself, she worked hard to do what she does. She will stick up for this country and have done a few times, when people from her own part of world have put the U.K down. We are not going to agree, all I said to start with is that maybe Trump has the right idea with this America first thing and maybe we should start doing the same. Maybe not as drastic as what he is doing, but we do need to sort this country out, we need to sort out tech instead of relying on the U.S and others. Again you have not shown why you are so annoyed that we have left the E.U and this is what it is all about? If you don't live in the U.K and live in the E.U are you annoyed that we left your little club? If you live in the U.K and is pro-E.U, then fair enough then I can see how it annoys you. Are you one of these people who lives in the U.K and have a holiday chalet in the E.U and can now only stay there for so long? If so, then that is bad luck. As I have posted before, I have no problem with people coming here to work, as long as they do if via the proper channels. We are out of the E.U, people voted out, and maybe if more people had voted instead of sitting on their backsides the results would have been different. But they like the E.U and our government thought no we would not vote to leave. How wrong they were, surprised me. I expected to wake up in the morning and hear on the radio that we voted to stay. As I said, we are out and have been for 10 years, we are not going to go back in anytime soon if we ever do, so we all need to make the best of how things are. Anyway, this is supposed to be a tech site.
    • Tim Cook: "The US over time began to stop having as many vocational kinds of skills." What's the point of wasting time getting those skills if you can't get a job with them? Good Lord, maybe he and his cohort of CEO's who exported all these jobs to China should just shut the f**k up :D
