iOS 6 Thoughts?

I had this problem but you just skip it and go into Wifi after you have finished the set up and your internet will be there.

Maybe people can stop shitting a proverbial brick now.

So it can also act as a kill switch.

I can see a fair few uses.

Looks like it.

Stupid wifi issue lol. I had to reset my network settings and re add my wifi settings else it would drop my wifi and send me to some apple page that didn't exist. Seems quite a few people had the same issue lol. See this 40+ page thread.

Lucky I had some credit on my 3g to find out what the hell was going on. And to think this ios6 was being beta tested for months now lol.

Sounds that way - though I suspect many have tried and failed to DDOS apple.com to the ground.

What is much more likely, like we have seen tonight, is that Apple removes that page.

Curiously my ipod touch on ios 5 did not lose wifi...

From what I have read so far, iOS5 and lower only check that page on open wifi networks - however as of iOS6, it always checks.

It's supposed to make it easier.

Can't use my device since the upgrade.. Useless!!!!!!

Yes. I'm on iPad and wifi just cuts out.!

late8 · 20-09-2012, 01:28

Well my first iPad install totally cocked up. iPad went into recovery mode and was stuck there. Had to restart the pc + itunes and iPad. After a few more goes got it to work. It went straight to ios6 after recovery but all my stuff was gone. Lucky iCloud was there however the restore is no way as good as Android and google backup. On that my whole device automatically went back to just how I had it.

That didn't work for me, nor did resetting, nor did forgetting and re-adding the WiFi network.

Ditto for a shitload of other people too (check the forum at Apple.com, or try Twitter...).

It was caused by Apple screwing up.

It is working fine now... because Apple put the missing page back up that iOS6 was trying to check.

Thanks for this , but how do you get it to do street view please ?

You can't. This is why the removal of Google Maps isn't good at all. The Flyover thing is a total gimmick and not useful in practical terms like StreetView.

Did my ipad 2 all ok but what is the Do not disturb thing all about?

It's a feature where you can silence all notifications (but still allow calls from certain numbers, if you want to) between certain hours.

i love sky · 20-09-2012, 05:42

I use iMailG app for my emails and before the IOS 6 update yesterday the icon for the app would change numbers when ever i got a email(the email count).

but now it does not seem to update itself so have to refresh it myself and also if i delete a email on my desktop pc the email would also delete on my ipad without me doing anything but this has stopped now.

also i have AOL mail set up in my normal mail that is already on ipad when it came and that does not refresh as well unless i do it myself.

does anyone know what the problem could be? as it didnt do this before the update yesterday.

AxeVictim · 20-09-2012, 06:07

I read on another forum theres an app called ifindview that has Streetview.

satman17 · 20-09-2012, 06:30

So what can I do with Passbook right now and why is there a tab to the App Store at the bottom when I still have the individual App Store and iTunes Store icons? I thought they were both going to be integrated under 1 tab ?

Wynne Evans · 20-09-2012, 06:40

A case of the Emperors new clothes for me i'm afraid, the maps are awful, no street view which i found useful, Apples only redeeming quality was not charging us for it, and no Siri support for iPod Touch is pissing me of so i guess i'm jailbreaking it so i can get it.

I want street view back, the new maps are shit.

horwichallstars · 20-09-2012, 07:27

Installed last night. Now, when I use a Google app (google + / google earth), and press the icon to locate myself, the app crashes ...

It happens.

That's very forgiving of you. You think it's the same guy that deals with the WiFi as the maps?

-GONZO- · 20-09-2012, 07:45

For those that will be using maps, this is a great addition

if your only using Satellite mode, not only in black and white, but
