Right-click and SAVE AS, or use a different web browser like Chrome.

Thanks Matt,

I have an iPad2 (iOS 5.1) which got corrupted while updating its software. I really got troubled to update and recover iOS 6.1 via iTunes it kept downloading a corrupted file, and to be on the safe side I also downloaded the latest iTune version but no luck at all.

partial Update log from iTune v10.6:

partial Update log of failed recovery using iTune 11.0.1:

[5624:814]: restore library built Aug 11 2012 at 16:32:14
[5624:814]: iTunes: iTunes 11.0.1.12

[5624:1798]: iTunes: Specifying UOI boot image
[5624:1798]: requested restore behavior: Erase
[5624:814]: iTunes: Restore error 1656

After downloaded multiple software packages (ipsw), I finally got the package which matches my device iPad2 (newer model) – iPad2,4_6.1_10B141_Restore.ipsw.

I copied this file to iTune software update directory on (windows XP)

C:\Documents and Settings\user\Application Data\Apple Computer\iTunes\iPad Software Updates

and then plugged in the iPad, clicked Restore iPad and instantly iTune start extracting the software package and successfully restored the updated iPad firmware within minutes.

Successful update log:

well,i think this is purely marketing strategy of apple..they released another update saying “bug fixes” yet they did not specify which bugs they fixed..

i think they should be more focused on users’ necessity about their units and not just all new features/updates..

Yes– Serious bug fixes! My iPod was crashing so much and so laggy, that I almost stopped using it altogether. 6.0.1 caused lots of problems until this update.

I have to tell you something amazing… There’s an update! Wich would change the world into a better place.

One more thing… This update is going to change your life it’s soo hugh so good so big… it’s awesome… it’s homptiedom…. it’s victoria’s secret’s secret… it’s more amazing than ultimate awesomeness then giganess….

It’s… What? It’s nothing. DOT. You can’t call this an update. You didn’t do your homework, you didn’t make something special… it’s again only US based…

Get your facts f*cking straight Apple. I’m in The Netherlands all Android phones understand dutch except my iPhone.

My iPhone doesn’t understand a word Dutch and you are buying tickets for movies… wow.

Since Steve Jobs is gone something also left it’s called: PRIORITIES.
