carrier settings

Every time I place my iPad in its dock, I'm asked if I want to update the carrier settings. Anyone else have this? Anyone know why, or how to make it stop?

Maggie!


That's terrific - or at least it will be when/if it happens. But where did this message from Paul come from? Perhaps the O2 User Forum (where it seems you can't join if you don't have an O2 phone as well as an O2 ipad - which i don't)? And who is it that finally managed to get O2’s attention? When the time comes, who do we thank?

Why do people keep flaming O2, this issue is nothing more than an inconvenience.


Your carrier software does update correctly there's just an issue with the software registering the new version on iTunes, hence the persistent "Update your carrier settings" message.


It's annoying yes but at the end of the day the devices still work along with your data service. Personally I think iTunes 11 will fix this issue.

Most previous features where retained just disabled.


Gotta fiddle around with the program before throwing it away


Done that! Problem with iTunes 11 is that the browser can appear only at the top. The option to show it on the left has gone. There's another thread around here lamenting it's loss.
