I need the latest SSL security fix, as I'm running iOS 6.1.3. But, I don't have enough space to go to iOS 7 which is the only option iTunes and my phone are giving me to upgrade.  I have an 8 GB iPhone 4 with usually less than 100-200 MB free, and have deleted all apps and non-essential music/photos so I really don't have the space to go all the way to iOS 7 (I understand iOS 7 only takes a few hundred MB beyond that which iOS 6 occupies, but every little bit counts and I'm already driven crazy downloading photos of my daughter every few days because I've run out of room.)  Am I completely out of luck?

Apple have just released software updates to fix  where a valid SSL response wasn't checked properly to ensure it matches the site actually being browsed. I have an iPhone 5, but unfortunately I have a strong personal aversion to the iOS 7 look and feel, so this far I've kept it on iOS 6.1.3.  Other users have better reasons than I to stay on iOS 6. For example, some people might be reliant on an app that has no iOS 7 version (as per bmike's comment), or the device might not have enough memory for the upgrade (as in this ).  Apple have released  ("Available for: iPhone 3GS, iPod touch (4th generation)"), but my iPhone 5 gives me no option to upgrade to any iOS other than 7.0.6. Similarly, iPhone 4 and iPhone 4S, iPad 2, [new] iPad (3rd gen), iPad Mini and iPod Touch (5th Gen)  but do not have builds of iOS 6.1.6 to install.   My iPhone is not currently jailbroken, but I would consider doing so in order to avoid having to use the iOS 7 interface. I'd rather not have to choose between the iOS version I prefer and this security patch for SSL. What options are feasible?

I have a IPhone 4  model number A1349 an it won't update past a 7.1.2 it says my software is up to date but I know the latest software is at the least a 8.4.  Why is that?

I’ve recently changed the password on my iPhone SE (running iOS 10.x?) and now I’ve forgotten it. I was able to use my iPhone for a few days from TouchID but after the iPhone restarted today, I can’t get into it. It's a 4 digit passcode.  I still remember my iCloud password. But the phone is not currently configured to back up to iCloud.  Would I be able to recover the Messages if I take my iPhone to an Apple Store? I don't have any trouble proving the iPhone and its data belong to me (I purchased the iPhone with my credit card, signed into my Apple ID and iCloud accounts). But my understanding is that they can't do anything either even if they want to.  Is there any way I can get back into my iPhone? Everything else can be erased, but I just really need access to my messages. For example, would I be able to jailbreak it given that it’s running a pretty old version of iOS?

I have critical low storage level and can't understand what takes much of it and how that's possible that the installed applications can use 7 GB? I only use a few social media clients without any games or soft like Photoshop. Also on the second screenshot it indicates that the apps are using just 1.13 GB and so I can't understand the situation. Also what is the "Other"?

I've been searching around for a a while now and So far I haven't found any full jailbreaks for ios 11.4 on a 6s. To be honest, I am new to the jailbreaking scene. I've installed Velonzy, but could find no jailbreaking tools. Am I missing something, or is there truly nothing left.  PS. I would downgrade to a system-rootable version but I haven't any SHSH blobs, or found any alternative method. Is it possible?

I keep getting the "Low on Space: Application data space is low. To free up" [the rest is cut off] message.  I've moved every app I can over to the SD card, cleared the cache, compacted my K9 mail cache.  Advanced Task Killer (ouch!) says I have 98M Available Memory  File Manager says I have 223M/748M (29%) free.  That's not so bad -- but I'm stuck in the no-updates scenario. The market downloads won't really start, gmail won't update, etc. I've rebooted several times, and nothing changes. Aaaargh.  What can be done, other than uninstalling everything ?

I have a data plan for all of my smartphones, computers, and tablets, so I have to be very careful staying within my allotted usage.  When I discovered that my iPad downloaded a 3 GB software update (not apps, the iOS update), I am not happy. I do not know how to turn off the automatic downloading of iOS updates.  All of the answers I get on the Apple Support Communities tell me that iOS updates are not installed, only downloaded.  It is the automatic downloading of iOS updates that is the problem, because my data gets unintentionally used.  How do I turn off the automatic downloading of iOS updates?

Okay so I'm having major issues installing/running iTunes through Wine, but I'm in major need to create (and be able to restore from) a full, complete backup for my iPhone since I'm doing a ton of tweaking to it. I don't really know what I'm doing, so there's a 110% chance I'm gonna screw it up, but hey, no one ever learned anything about technology without crashing it a good 100 times right? =P

I use 120 MB of iCloud storage space for iCloud Backup of my iPad &amp; iPhone. There is still 4.8 GB free from 5 GB, but I have a notification in iPad's backup window that I'm lacking space to back up to iCloud and would rather not buy more space to back up today.

I have an iphone 4 that is stuck in restore mode after trying to update to ios 6 wirelessly.  Unfortunately, I do not have a recent itunes backup of this phone.  Is there any way to recover my photos from this device before I try to restore it?  Will restoring it wipe all the data on the phone?

I have a new Mac Pro with a small 256GB SSD. I have a larger 2TB drive that I run backups to.  My girlfriend has a MacBook Air with a tiny 128GB SSD.  Our problem is our iPhones have 50GB of music, pictures and apps, so backing them up on iTunes on our boot drives would be a suicide. Right now I have an old Mac Pro with plenty of disk space I use for my iPhone but I would like to use my primary computer.  Whats the best way to have everything with iTunes/iPhoto just go to an external drive? And is it possible for both of us use the same set of drives? Could we just use an Apple Time Capsule for both of our machines? And then couldn't we just figure out how to make iTunes and iPhoto to look for that network drive to work?

I recently attempted to follow  to upgrade my device (iPhone 4) to iOS 7 without being a developer or registering a UDID.   I loaded and installed iOS 7 and got to the configuration screen. However efter attempting to go through the configuration process it says:     We’re unable to complete your activation. This device is not   registered as part of the iPhone Developer Program. If you are a   member of the Program, please register your device in the iPhone   Developer Program Portal.   The problem is this is also what it says on iTunes so there is no way to access it from the computer.   How can I downgrade back to 6.1.3? I suppose I could register as a paid developer for iOS 7, but that involves forking over $99 and I'm not even sure I could revert to iOS 6 even then.  Additional Information:   I started with an unjailbroken iOS 6.1.3. I downloaded iOS 7.0 CDMA for iPhone 4 from  I have Verizon I Have the iOS 6.1.3 version for my iPhone downloaded from , but I am unsure how I can restore from it because iTunes will not let me do anything because of the above mentioned message.    Update: I managed to entere recovery mode by pressing "power" for 3 seconds, "home" and power for 10 seconds, and just "home" until it had entered recovery mode. I have then begun to restore the phone which requires iOS 6.1.3 to download again through iTunes. Note that the first time you restore it may not work. Mine still booted to iOS 7 until I tried again.

If I have Optimize iPhone Storage enabled on my iPhone and my phone storage is completely full, I understand that iOS will only store a low-res thumbnail of many of my photos on the device. (The full high-res version of the image will only exist in iCloud and on devices with Download and Keep Originals enabled.)  But when only thumbnails exist on the device, how does that work in relation to other photo apps on iOS? For example, do third-party cloud-based photo apps (like Google Photos, Dropbox's Carousel, or Amazon Prime Photos) have access to the full high-res images from the iCloud Photo Library? Or will they only see the low-res thumbnails in some cases?

Currently, my internal storage is running low on space.    What can I do besides moving applications to the external memory, as to free up more space, but preserve my current applications and avoid uninstalling?  (Some of them won't be moved)

I need help for this iCloud problem: I had no available space left, (of my 50GB plan) so, to keep using iCloud, I deleted some files. After that, instead fixing the problem, the system keep saying that "iCloud storage is full", or "there is no available space left on iCloud". I tried to deleted more files, also my iPhone backup of ~7GB, but iCloud seems not to detect I have done free space, and keep saying that there is no more storage. Has anyone had this issue? Does anyone know how to solve this? Thank you and sorry for my English mistakes because it's not my first language.

I have an iPad 2 that is currently running iOS 5.0.1. I'm generally happy with it but some applications require a more recent iOS version. So I started to look into upgrading it, but the only upgrade that it offers is to iOS 7.  From the look of it I don't like the new design of iOS 7 too much and also upgrading to a version this fresh doesn't appeal to me. So my question is: is there a way to upgrade to some version of iOS 5.x or iOS 6.x instead of upgrading to iOS 7?
