Hi
I've got a project to rollout 300 iPhone 5, these require the latest IOS.
Using Apple Configurator I plug in 4 phones then click prepare, so gets the latest update.
Can this process be speeded up by storing the IOS file locally and click other?
I have downloaded the 6.1 file, but this didn't work, said couldn't find the file.
Any help would be appreaciated.
Cheers
iPhone 5, iOS 6.1, Apple configurator
I'm having the same problem. iPad 2, trying to use configurator to install iOS 6.1. I've tried many times this afternoon, and the only thing I can figure out is that 6.1 has a bug and isn't compatible with configurator. When I use the old file I have previously used (iOS 6.0.1) it installs fine. It's only when I try to use 6.1.

That is not an approved source for the iOS file and does not give you a signed copy.
That link came to me as a reply to this problem (needing a local file) on this very forum. Is there some other site you recommend? (Not intending to hijack this thread... I still have the same question as the original poster...)
If it did it will be removed. You can update one device and it should save the .ipsw file on your computer.
Where is the .ipsw file saved? I can't locate it on the drive by searching...
It's a good thing I have that older 6.0.1.... The 6.1 update doesn't work on any of my iPad 2's via configurator. It just bricks them and I have to connect to iTunes in order to kick them out of recovery. Even trying to update via iTunes, it just says "The iPad "iPad" count not be restored. The device isn't elligible for the requested build."
Buggy 6.1......
Apple Configurator to update IOS, store file locally
