Apple has released iOS 6.1 to the public. The update brings a number of improvements, including increased LTE support and the ability for users in the US to purchase movie tickets with Siri.
This update contains improvements and bug fixes, including:
- LTE support for more carriers (complete list of supported carriers at www.apple.com/iphone/LTE/)
- Purchase movie tickets through Fandango with Siri (USA only)
- iTunes Match subscribers can now download individual songs from iCloud
- New button to reset the Advertising Identifier
For information on the security content of this update, please visit this website: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1222
You can grab the update right now on your device by going to Settings, General, Software Update on your iPhone, iPod touch, or iPad, or connecting you device to iTunes and downloading the update there.
Once you've updated, let us know how it's working for you. Fix any annoying old bugs? Add any annoying new ones?
My iPhone 5 got the update but the iPhone 4 doesn't have seem to have it on EE?
Update: It came through!
So much for everyone who was so about installing the leaked beta for it to be released the next day lol
AppleTV 2&3 iOS Update available as well...bringing Bluetooth keyboard support, Up Next, and an enhanced iTunes in the Cloud service.
With this final version released, is there any word of Jailbreak teams finalizing the 6.0.2 jailbreak soon?
They announced that the jailbreak should be available this week. It's an untethered jailbreak. I am very excited.
STOKED! I've been waiting SO long to have my jailbreak back! Can't wait to unleash my A6 processor for what it can REALLY do!
Weird that I had to enter my Apple ID all over again after the update. Can't remember if that was necessary after the 6.0 update. Also, my iPhone 5 asked me for my Apple ID password three times. I tapped "Cancel" the third time and it stopped asking.
something tells me there's more to this update than what they're showing. Why call it .1 and not 6.0.2?
Wouldn't matter because it would be just a play on numbers, right?
well, from my programming days, bug fixes would typically come with a x.x.1 update while an x.1 update would bring new features along with the bug fixes. While they did bring one or two new features, they're fairly insignificant in my opinion.
They had a 6.0.2 already. It fixed WiFi issues with the iPhone 5 and the newest iPads/iPods. To the best of my memory, that is.
It feels snappier on the iPhone 5, I hope its the same on the iPad 3.
OMG. They *finally* fixed the iPod controls on the lock screen to separate the buttons more. So frustrating to skip to another track when you meant to pause instead. This should have been fixed in 2008.
Anybody else having trouble with WiFi? I never had a issue like some did with iOS 6... now I can't connect to either of the 2 WiFi networks I usually can.
I connected to mine at the house just fine. maybe you got a bad download. Did you use Itunes or OTA?
I am. My wifi connection is worse, on my iPhone 5, than it was before the last update. It hasn't worked correctly since iOS 6! My phone is very slow to open apps or search in Safari. So far it appears this update made things worse for me. I hope I'm the only one as I really don't wish these issues, I've consistently had, on other iPhone users!
Just FYI: the Advertising Identifier reset button is buried way down in Settings -> General -> About -> Advertising.
There's also an on/off switch for the "Limit Ad Tracking" setting.
I had an iOS 6.1 issue with Pages: it didn't upload edited documents to iCloud from my iPad mini. No problem with iOS 6.1 and Pages on the iPhone 5 or the iWork tab on iCloud.com. Just the iPad.
Fix: restart the iPad. That's all it took. But the iPad was already restarted after updating to iOS 6.1, so there's obviously a bug somewhere. Minor but annoying.
Getting the "Unable to Verify Update" on the OTA on iPod Touch 5th gen. Connecting to iTunes fails as an unsupported device? Anyone else with this issue?
EDIT: Apple must of corrected the path. All set now. iPod touch 5th gen up and no more issues. iPod touch 4th gen and iPhone 4S in progress
EDIT 2: iPod touch 4th gen and iPhone 4S all up and good!
Is it just me, or can I no longer download a previously purchased song on my iPhone 4s? When I go to the iTunes app, more, and then hit the purchased button it takes me to the "purchased" playlist in the music app.
Wonder if there are bug security issues they are not stating. My account was charged twice on 1/25/13. Apple stated it looked like someone used my credit information to create a new account. I changed by password right away. I change it off, and on. The thing that bugs me, how did someone get the three digit security code from the credit card? At least they will credit the charge, but I will just use gift cards from now on. Strange?
I had a similar problem. Someone was using my credit card on their iTunes account. They charged over $1,000 before I got my statement and noticed. American Express was great, but Apple refused to even give me the amount charged to MY credit card without a subpoena. I spent hours figuring out which charges were mine so I could tell AmEx. I will never use anything but an iTunes cards again.
1.11 GB OS update for the iPad?! Apple needs to realize that not everyone has a 50 MB broadband connection for these updates. I have an iPhone 4S, iPad, and iPad mini to update and the total will be over 3 GB when all is said and done. Add this to updating 2 TV's and I'm pushing 3.5 GB.
the OTA update for my ipad 3 was only 70MB. Sounds like you're downloading it in itunes where it gets the full OS.
"iTunes Match subscribers can now download individual songs from iCloud"
That was already possible with 6.0.1 (non-jailbroken).
Somebody is wrong.
I'm still not getting Facebook notifications on my iPhone 5. I was hoping that between the iOS update and the Facebook update, that this would have all been fixed by now. On a brighter note though, it looks as though the bug with the Apple maps voice turn by turn almost muting the rest of the sounds has been fixed.
that is weird. neither do i. I never get them. i see a notification in side the facebook app after i've opened it.
I'll be waiting a few months before I even consider updating...unless of course this update fixes the horrible lag with iPod Touch 4G.
Also. we should have more info on how jailbreaking is going to be, if and when it comes out for the iPhone.
It feels like it takes longer to connect to the App Store, and the FB app is crashing frequently.. Am I the only one having these problems? *Iphone 4s*
Still no sound when Facebook notifications arrive. Fail!
Is it just me, or is iOS starting to get a little bit stale? Apple needs to really shake things up with iOS7. Adding sports scores and movie tickets to Siri (which I would venture to guess a very, very small percentage of people will actually ever use) isn't really that innovative. It's time to give iOS, the core of which has changed very little since it was first introduced in 2007, a fresh new feel.
Looks like passbook has a new main ui design.
I'm glad to be able to download individual songs again. I wonder what genius decided to removed it from iOS 6 during beta? It's a no brainer. I don't know how much I care about buying movie tickets with Siri. I tried to for Friday, I guess it's too early. Hmph Think I'm ready to jailbreak because I want to respond to texts within apps. It's quite ridiculous to have to exit an app all together to respond to a text or notification. Actionable notifications now please!
I'd like to see the ability to theme certain UI elements, widgets, the ability to quickly turn on/off Bluetooth, WiFi, etc) such as adding these toggles to the Search screen (or Notification center), and let us decide what our default browser, calendar, and email program is....
**** I hate these stupid updates because every time I turn around apples updates seem to always screw me over I cant access the app store I cant sign in to the game center either so all the games I have the require me to use the game center I cant play so thanks a ******* lot apple you are as bad as nintendo
Did the OTA update this morning and my iphone 5 decided it would not be a "phone" today... Took two shut downs and twice upgrade with ##873283# to Sprint to get it running. Also had to have tech support update my settings. Didn't help that Sprint shut down the largest tower in downtown San Jose for the past 24 hours for an LTE upgrade.
I hope others had a better day with the upgrade....
For me it fix my email. Whenever I was not on wifi it would say unable to connect to internet. I figured a work around but I'm happy its finally fixed
Finally, in the car it accesses your entire music library, even if it isn't downloaded into your phone, as long as you have iTunes Match.
Updated OTA on iPhone 5, things I've noticed:
-Carrier name is gone? No longer "Verizon LTE", just "LTE"
(Carrier version says "Verizon 14.1", is this accurate) Contacted Verizon, they had no idea what was wrong. But I am on the network. So strange, anyone else? I have reset network settings, removed SIM, all that jazz. No change.
Im liking 6.1 alot more. ive noticed that it allows alot more functionality in my car. for instance now it will list all 3000 songs that i have in itunes match instead of just the 1000 that are on my iphone, it will stream songs through the ipod port on my elantra. also my music app is no longer blocked out when connected to a car source. very nice!

Viticulture - n. : the cultivation or culture of grapes
Enology - n. :a science that deals with wine and wine making
The V&E Department combines the sciences of viticulture and enology in a single research and teaching unit that encompasses all of the scientific disciplines that impact grape growing and winemaking. For over one hundred years the University of California has maintained an active and productive program in research and education in viticulture and enology. The continuing excellence of the Department has enabled California growers and vintners to develop practices that have allowed the Golden State to achieve its potential and become a premier wine-producing region.
Frank H. Bartholomew Scholarship
Frank H. Bartholomew was a not only a wine lover, he was also UPI's last reporter-president. Bartholomew worked for the Oregonian newspaper and later served as President and Chairman of United Press International (UPI) from 1955 until 1972. He died in 1985.
Buena Vista Winery was established in 1857 and is California's oldest premium winery. The great earthquake of 1906 destroyed the underground cellars and the property fell into neglect. It was in 1940, that Buena Vista Winery drew new breath under the direction of journalist Frank Bartholomew and his wife, Antonia. The two moved from San Francisco and with the help of famed winemaker Andre Tchelistcheff, restored Buena Vista to its o...

Outdoor Garden Sink
It blew a gasket
Although the sink seems like a very good idea and we went ahead and built a redwood stand for the sink, once we attached it to our household waterline it immediately blew a gasket spraying water in every direction.
We returned the item and are expecting a new one to arrive in the next few days. Hopefully it was a one time problem.
August 9, 2013
Misleading and then some
It appears as though you could use this as an extra hose reel. You can hang a hose there on the front; it's just not connected to anything. The connections on the side are the inlet hose for the sink, and the drain hose. There is no connection to allow you to run a hose from this sink to water anything. The sink works fine; I just thought it had a bit more functionality.
August 5, 2013
not worth the time & effort
problems from day one with connections and leaks, and a return of such a large item is impossible for me. parts are not available.
July 30, 2013
Our Outdoor Garden Sink
It works great. It replaces an older one I had installed several years ago. It had a roll-up drum for the hose that never did work well and finally failed altogether. This new one replaces the drum with a neat place to roll up the hose, which works great . . . . . especially for the new lightweight expandable hoses! It is a very welcome and useful addition to our backyard!
July 16, 2013
Good Outdoor Garden Sink
Arrived in 2 days as expected. We bought the Wooden stand to go with the Sink and they were both easy to put together. As with some of the other reviews I have read here, the wooden stand did not include all the screws needed. Too many long screws and not enough short but my husband used some that he already had. The sink was easy to hook up and leaks a little bit but not enough to complain about. We have looked for quite a while for an outdoor sink (without having to actually buy an outdoor kitchen) and are happy with this one.
July 16, 2013
Unfortunately, the sink that was shipped to me had a broken (plastic) manifold that prevented me from properly attaching the hose and clamp!!!
My guess is the sink was returned broken by someone else and just re-packaged!! In either case, customer service was very understanding and sent out a new one once the problem was reported!! Hopefully it will be BRAND NEW !!!
July 10, 2013
Kinked connections
This is the 2nd Outdoor Garden Sink we've owned. There is no warranty or guarantee, we had to make our own connections because the ones provided were either kinked or too short. Our old one lasted about 5 years. Wish we were able to purchase parts for it rather than having to purchase an entire new sink.
July 2, 2013
Great idea, not entirely reliable
I read some of the previous reviews and discounted the negative experiences - my bad.
I bought this sink for my roof deck - it seemed to be a quick, easy, and inexpensive way to use my existing water and drains and have a place to wash up after working with the grill or on plants.
The first sink that I received assembled in a snap and worked really well, until I noticed that the middle "storage" area was full of water after being left overnight (and rusted out the tools I kept in there!). I also noticed that there was a big pool of water underneath - and discovered that the sink basin was overflowing with water from a slow leak somewhere in the faucet (I put the drain plug in just to keep bugs/spiders out of the drain hose that leads to my stormwater drain).
I ended up putting a shut-off valve on the water line and used that vs. the faucet to turn water on /off. It worked, but definitely made the sink more difficult to use - and not why I bought this item.
Improvements immediately took care of me - the replacement sink was advance-shipped and I sent the bad one back. I installed the replacement and it worked fine for a day, then I noticed a slow leak that came out of the water connection.and again filled the storage area with water.
I kept the shut off valve on the water line and only allowed a very low flow of water to get to the sink, but even that was causing it to leak. A few days later, POP the hose came out and I had water everywhere.
Again, Improvements is WONDERFUL, they offered another replacement or a discount and I could fix it myself - which is what I'll do.
I really wish this worked as well as I had hoped, but for now it is "good enough" and I'll leave it be
June 27, 2013
Very disappointing...
I was so happy when I saw this and so disappointed the first time we turned it on. The first one we ordered shot water straight up out of the base of the fixture. We called Improvements and they were wonderful, had UPS come to our house and pick it up, then placed an order for a new one thinking we had just gotten a dud. The second one is a bit better but we are returning it as well. You can not leave the water on to the sink without a steady stream of water coming out of the bottom of the faucet. When you do turn the water on you have to go VERY slowly because if you turn it on to high water shoots everyplace. The same issues with leaking are also evident although not as bad we feel it's just a matter of time. I do not recommend this product.

Outdoor sink
Sink works well
It's small but purposeful
Had a leak issue after very short use that I was able to correct
Don't know how it will stand up after long term.
Fits in garden area perfect though
June 27, 2013
Would not recommend
We received our outdoor garden sink and are not pleased at all. The drain hose is too thick and stiff, while trying to install it, it kinked and broke the black plastic connection piece. My husband replaced the hose with a softer rubber tubing and found an old connection piece in our garage and used it to replace the one that was broken. Finally got it installed, but are not pleased with the quality for the price.
June 25, 2013
Not well put together
I had to completly take apart the faucet to repair the leaky hose clamp as with all the hose clamps that were factory. The blanks that are to be installed over the top mounting screws don't fit very well and there should have been two supplied for the bottom two screws. Not very well thought through.
June 24, 2013
Surprised at my good fortune!
I received an outdoor sink as a gift 8 years ago. Last year the water connection became separated on the inside. I could not fix it and called Improvements to order a new one. After some research they found the original order. They told me this product has a lifetime warranty. They would issue me a gift certificate for the price paid for the original sink and I could order the new and improved one for just the difference in price. I received the new one in a few days and installed it immediately. It was easy to install and works very well. Thank you Improvements!!

Review of outdoor garden sink
We had our original outdoor garden sink about 10 years before it started to leak and we were quite pleased with that since the faucet was always being lifted and lowered from inside the sink. We ordered a new one from Improvements, put it together and attached the water to it and it leaked right away exactly where the old one did at the faucet, so we ordered a second one. The second one seems to be okay with no leaks to date. The customer service department was great with helping us with the exchange of the product and not charging us shipping to send the new one. I didn't give the product 5 stars for the quality and performance because of the fact that the first sink leaked right away.
June 20, 2013
The outdoor sink
I am really happy so far with this product. I live in Iowa where it rains a lot
so I'm a little concerned about how it will weather
June 18, 2013
Great features
I love the product however it was missing the main screws to put it together so had to purchase.
June 17, 2013
Poorly designed and executed
1. Wrong assembly hardware
2. Misleading description - no way to use hose and sink without separate input or re-plumbing each time.
3. Poor quality fittings leak.
4. Sink cover shelves fall of and are difficult to replace.
5. Hose 'reel' in front isn't a reel, and isn't large enough to hold a useful size hose.
It's going back.

Outdoor Garden Sink
I bought the sink and the outdoor garden station for my wife for Mother's day. Although the garden station and sink both look fine the sink faucet began to leak badly after only a couple of uses. I called the company and the customer service was excellent. They replaced the sink, no questions asked. Unfortunately the second sink faucet leaked worse than the first. I have not contacted them yet to see what they are going to do.
June 12, 2013
Great outdoor product
Built one myself previously and this is comparable to it. Would have been happier if i
both pieces were sold as a unit so all the hardware was included and it might have been less expensive

Outdoor Garden Sink
This a product was made by backyard gear years back with major problems with the swivel faucet. There is no replacement parts for the faucet that it will start leaking in a matter of a few months. When I tried to contact the original manufacture they went out of business. The basic sink is very small but looks nice. The whole assembly was easy to set up. Be aware the faucet has no replaceable parts. When it starts leaking the faucet is useless.
June 2, 2013
This is a neat little product,but expensive. I also got the wooden work station with the sink. When the workstation arrived I found the right side crossbeam support broken, I wood glued it with clamps and it is holding. The instructions in the work sation say the insert sink screws to secure the two items come with the sink, but the sink says, mounting hardware not included. So get some appropriate bolts, lag.
Overall, the worksation looks good in the back yard, is light weight, works well outside. You will be buying this product for the ease of setup.
May 28, 2013
Minor errors irritate
I initially was very pleased with the appearance and the assembly instructions of both the garden sink and the garden sink workstation. For each of them however, minor issues marred the overall experience. On one workstation (I ordered two sets of sinks and workstations) , one of the wheel mounting dowels was a bit too short, requiring some "jury rigging" to mount the wheel in a fashion so it would turn. The sinks were both missing assembly parts.
The product specialist who responded to my email request was very timely and and courteous. I appreciated the candor and quickness of sending out the missing parts.
May 28, 2013
Not happy with this product
I bought this product about a month ago. Still cannot set it up. When it arrived, it didn't have any of the parts to it. Just the sink and base. Had to order the parts that came quickly. Tried to put the hoses in and one of the hoses had a piece of a part already stuck in it. Part of the part that was stuck in it, was actually wrapped in its own plastic bag, BC we couldn't get the part out and we cannot find another part, it is too short to connect to the base of the sink. Would not buy any products from here again. I was very excited about this and now its sits in my garage until someone can figure out the issue.
May 24, 2013
Nice idea, poor design and quality control
Just what my wife wanted for her potting station. Asembly was not difficult but the sliding covers are not well designed and executed. There are slides for the fronts of the covers but instead of slides the rear part is supposed to catch under a lip built into the back of the sink. in my case the slide barely caught and sometimes would pop out. Clearly would not have held any weight. No possible adjustment. The slides themselves were thin plastic and I doubt would have help up well anyway. Returned for refund.

Great Outdoor Sink
This sink is made of quality material. Was very easy to install but does NOT include the mounting hardware.
We use it all the time.
Great Idea!!
May 21, 2013
As good as you think.
I've been eyeing this, but I didn't want to attach it to my vinyl siding. The workstation pushed me off the fence.
I had to send the first one back. The manufacturer forgot to put the holes in it for the screws. Improvements was very nice about it, and I got the replacement in a couple of days. I'm very happy with it. My husband agrees that it is a good thing, and is glad for the workstation as well.

Outdoor Garden Sink
I was very thrilled to receive the outdoor garden sink for my garden station but I was very disappointing to find that several key components were missing from the box. Even with this mishap, the sink was installed into the station . However the main features of the sink being concealed after use, were unable to be installed. Several of the screws and parts needed to install this feature were missing. Although your customer care is going to ship the parts out, it will still be 7-10 days wait for parts that should have been in the box to begin with. As this was a main feature to our outdoor decor, it is disappointing to say the least.

Flimsy, cheaply constructed item. That sums it up even thoughthey want more words.

50 foot is the most that I can see it holding - I've put both 25 and 50 on it.8 months ago
The garden sink is designed to hold up to 50 feet of hose. Anything longer than that won't fit.Age: 55-65
Gender: Male

I have a 50 ft hose on mine. Not sure if 75 ft will fit.9 months ago
The drain hose that is included goes from the drain to the manifold on the side - there is a make connector there for you to add you own hose. The supply hose that is included is about 2-3'8 months ago
It doesn't come with a drain hose, so you can make it as long as you need to. It's a great opportunity to use an old hose that has otherwise served its usefulness.8 months ago
The drain hose is approx 6 feet long.Age: 55-65

It's manual - it's just a ledge that you put the hose on. The middle portion is where the faucet and drain connections happen, and many of us had leaks in that area.8 months ago
The hose hanger is designed to hold a 50 ft hose but it is not automatic. You have to hand wind the hose onto the hanger. As long as your sink is firmly and properly attached to the wall it will hold the hose and several small items on the sliding tops with no problem. Just remember it is made from plastic so it can't hold a great deal of weight at one time.Age: 55-65

You need to roll up the hose yourself. Shouldn't deter you. This is a great outdoor addition!8 months ago
The plastic part that goes into small line instantly broke when trying to position in place. This is the main water line connection with a small plastic connector that goes into the small plastic tube. It snapped off with very little pressure, poorly designed piece, this should be metal. Does anyone know where I can get a replacement ASAP?

Happened to me - you need a garden hose to 1/4" ID barbed connector - which I could not find. I was able to rig a solution:My water intake broke - i.e. the plastic flange connection broke right in the clear plastic hose that connects to the manifold. I repaired it with the following:
0. Disconnect the manifold, pull out faucet/basin assembly
1. Clip off part of hose that had the broken plastic flange inside.
2. Connect hose to a brass hose barb 1/4" ID x 3/8" MIP (Watts LFA-193).
3. Connect that piece to a 1/2" MIP x 3/8" FIP brushing
(Watts #LFA-828) -- I used teflon tape for a tight seal.
4. Drill out bottom hole in manifold to a 1" hole
5. Put the above two piece connection through the hole, and apply teflon tape to the threads
6. Attach to a swivel garden hose adapter (Watts #LFA-660) and tighten.
7. Attach garden hose intake and turn on water. I have the intake hose connected to a shut-off at the main connection and only open it a tiny bit, enough to ensure water flows but doesn't blast out.
It took about $16 in parts at Home Depot, which is what Improvements credited me for my trouble.

Can you tell me where I can order a new manifold for my sink? I love the product, but I can't use it right now.
