iOS 6.1.2 OTA update failed while 6.1.3 available

Recently my iPad (an iPad 2) asked me to download iOS 6.1.2 using OTA update, which I did, but did not installed the update right after.

Now iOS 6.1.3 is available and I'd like to update, but the iPad only wants to install 6.1.2 and fails while trying yo validate the update. It tells me that I'm not connected to internet, but I am.

My guess is that the signing window for iOS 6.1.2 is closed, therefore the update cannot be validated, but the iPad doesn't seems to be checking for newer versions.

Is there any way I can bypass 6.1.2 install and get strait to 6.1.3 ?

I know I can still use iTunes to do that but I'd really like to avoid downloading a whole iOS update.

Where are you located? The iOS 6.1.3 may not yet be in your iTunes store. When available, you'll skip the iOS 6.1.2 update.

According to me this is a bug in the update. I am also well connected to the Internet and the update told me it cannot verify the update because I am not connected... This only happen to iPad as I have been able to update my iPhone immediately. Now I am not sure how to get read of that corrupted download.

Eventually, I did a full update from iTunes.

I didn't find any other way to update.

I work in a school where we have over 600 ipads, this became a problem for us as well. I did find that if you continue to wifi settings select the network you are joined to, forget the network that you are on, turn the ipad off, restart ipad, rejoin your network, and then try update software again the ipad will change to IOS 6.1.3 instead of IOS 6.1.2 during the "verify error" stage everyone is getting. There were a few ipads that I had to follow these steps a couple of times before it finally "skipped" the IOS 6.1.2 update and changed to the IOS 6.1.3 update. Once the change occurs at top of screen, the installation will work as intended. Have now used this workaround about 30 times and and it has worked everytime. Hope this helps.
