carrier settings

You make it stop by giving the update permission to complete.

I recently started getting this on my new iPad (wi-fi + cellular). Is the message below the one you are getting from iTunes?

The support article on Updating your carrier settings is not much help and I have not been able to find what is causing it yet?

Hi Meg

How do you give it 'permission to complete' other than by clicking the Update Settings button?

Yes, thats's how you do it.

Unfortunately it does not work. I've restarted my iPad, as per the article I referred to and every time I connect my iPad to my iMac I get the same message again.

iPad is IOS 5.1.1, iMac is running Lion (10.7.4) and iTunes is 10.6.3

Thanks for your advice anyway.

That's an odd one. Sorry, it always works for me. Hopefully, someone with a solution will chime in.

Same for me.

Me, too. Been going on a couple of weeks now.

I have exactly the same problem. I am with Virgin and O2 for ipad. It has been suggested that the problem lies with the carrier rather than Apple but there is nothing relevant on Virgin or O2 that I can find?

Every Time I plug my ipad 2 into sync with my MacBook Pro 15 (2008) or it sees it on wifi and starts to sync, I get this prompt. It started last week, and now happens EVERY time. I sync about 3 times a day, and each is held up by the prompt, for me to accept it. It used to be seamless, it now needs me to "manage" every sync. I have accepted and installed each time, and have just done a restore on the iPad, but it hasn't solved the problem.

I have latest software on BOTH h/ware items.

I am on O2 Network in UK on iPad, and my Network for Internet is: BT

Same here. Also on O2 - is that everyone with them?

Suggests where the problem lies...

I had this on my old iPhone, I found restoring to factory worked, maybe it forces the update when you re-install iOS, hope this helps

Having tried (and failed) to solve this problem myself I took the iPad into an Apple store today and an Apple Genius failed to find anything wrong that he could fix. In the end he resorted to a full reinstallation of the OS. After this he plugged it in and the message didn't appear, so he pronounced the problem solved.

I took the iPad home, restored my content from a backup and... the message came back again.

If the problem is embedded in the backup that makes it very tedious as it means that I'll have to:

- get every piece of my user data to a safe place (or resign myself to losing data where there is no "export / reimport" option)

- reinstall the OS again

- individually set up every app from scratch and reinstall its data from my saved copies

As I really don't want to do this I'm going to have one more try at reinstalling the OS, but not immediately restoring the backup and instead setting it up as a "new" iPad (hoping that it does the carrier update successfully) and then restoring from a backup later.
