Apple releases iOS 7.1.2 with fixes for iBeacon, Mail, and accessory connectivity

6/30/14: "Apple on Monday pushed an over-the-air update to its iOS mobile operating system, bringing fixes that enhance iBeacon connectivity and stability while correcting problems with Mail attachment data protection and data transfer to third-party accessories.

According to Apple's release notes, iOS 7.1.2 addresses issues that may crop up when using third-party accessories such as barcode scanners that connect to an iPhone or iPad. In addition to the iBeacon fixes, it also corrects an problem with the data protection class designations of some Mail attachments.

iOS 7.1.2 comes just over two months after the release of iOS 7.1.1, which brought improvements to Touch ID and keyboard responsiveness. it is not clear how many more maintenance updates Apple plans to provide before the launch of iOS 8, which is widely expected to drop alongside the next-generation iPhone this fall.

The update, which comes in as a 23.1-megabyte delta when applied via iOS's over-the-air update mechanism, also contains miscellaneous bug fixes and security updates.

Apple also updated the Apple TV to version 6.2 but was mum on the included changes."

Thx. Went to settings & it was available to download. It also turned on my Bluetooth. I don't use the Cloud. I have never backed up my iPad. Nothing on it I need to save.

I got the same message. Only had to wait about 30 minutes before the install box popped up.

It sure does reset your Bluetooth, turning it on after the update. BE SURE TO TURN OFF BLUETOOTH AFTER UPDATE if you don't use it.

I just did my pad and phone about 15-20 minutes ago. I had no problem, and didn't receive a message. Try again. I am sure once the servers calm down your request will go through.

Stop being afraid of what could go wrong and start being positive what could go right.

Thanks Montana. I actually went to sleep when I couldn't get the update right away and I checked it this morning and it was there. I updated this morning. Happy it well well too. Hate to have problems before I have to leave for work. Enjoy the day today.
