To anyone using an iDevice, Apple has pushed out a minor update today that will fix a few things and tweak some others. After users were reporting some AirPlay video playback issues and a few others things, it seems Apple deemed it necessary to release iOS 5.1.1. Another of the annoying bugs that were fixed was an “unable to purchase” message that would pop up even if users completed a successful purchase. This can obviously lead to some headaches, so iOS users will want to grab that update today. The iPad also received some attention, as there was an error with devices switching back and forth between 3G and 2G networks which has now been taken care of.
The update can be taken OTA or through your PC or Mac and is only 54.5MB. Of course, anyone with a jailbroken iPad, iPhone, or iPod will want to avoid this update and wait for the developer community to bring a jailbroken version to you. There’s a few other minor fixes and tweaks that have been pushed, and the full list of updates is as follows:
- Improves reliability of using HDR option for photos taken using Lock Screen shortcut.
- Addresses bugs that could prevent the new iPad from switching between 2G and 3G networks.
- Fixes bugs that affected AirPlay video playback in some circumstances.
- Improved reliability for syncing Safari bookmarks and Reading List.
- Fixes an issue where “Unable to Purchase” alert could be displayed after successful purchase.
