Hi, I really want to download iOS 5.1 on my iPod touch 4 generation but when I try to download it, it says that Safari can’t download the file. I have tried everything from resetting the history, the cookies, and the cache but still doesn’t work! Please help!!!
Lozzie, you are in luck because iOS 5.1.1 is now out and you can download that instead.

You are better off downloading directly from the iPod touch using OTA update: Open Settings, tap on General, tap on Software Update, and install from there.

Try going to Settings > General > Reset Network Settings
I tried this and it didn’t work. I also tried Settings > General > Cellular Data > Set up Personal Hotspot. When I tought Set up Personal Hotspot, it says I need to call AT&T to set this up. Can this be gotten around? Do I need to pay for this? Is it a monthly charge?

It gives a warning before you update with the itunes update version, so even your texting will be needing to be reset manually.
Also it is best to try to backup everything you have installed before you upgrade.
There are no changes, I don’t get it.
Hmmmm,
Links posted for iOS-5.1 aren’t working, or maybe servers are maxxed.

It seems with the new update on accessing the camera that anyone could flip through all your photos. Apple needs to address this quickly. I believe this happened ith the 5.0 update.
someone pls tell me this aint’ true!
It’s not. With a lock you can still open up the camera app to take photos, but you cannot see any other pictures on the phone. It will say ‘device is locked.’ I just tried.
thank god, i updated my iPhone and i can see that it is NOT possible to see the photos with a locked phone.
Yes if you don’t have a passcode on anyone can view your pictures but if you have a passcode on it will say that the phone is locked
The photos are only accessible from the locked screen if you phone has not reached the Auto-Lock timer. Once that has happen then you can’t get access to the photos. As mentioned already the phone indicates it is locked.
Ok now we have 5.1 will this help us with 4.11.8 baseband on our iPhone 4 they unlocked 4s now here comes iPad 3 so is our wait finally over with 5.1 I’m ready to use my iPhone 4!!!
