Please help, I really don't like Apple's cloud software and wish to avoid it and refuse to participate in it for etical opinion. I need to upgrade to iOS 6 but refuse to use the iCloud service.
iPhone 4, iOS 5.1.1, please help
1. You don't need to refuse to enable iCloud...just don't use it. Where did you get the idea that you were required to? Of course by not enabling it, your phone is as good as gone should it get stolen, as you will not be able to track it in any way using Find My iPhone.
2. Only the latest version of the iOS available for your model of phone is available. You cannot update to iOS 6
If you simply never log in to iCloud, you will never have anything to do with iCloud on your iOS device. You can upgrade and simply never set up an iCloud account at all.
Regardless, you cannot get iOS 6 for any hardware that supports iOS 7 - the update system will only offer you the latest version compatible with your hardware.
I only want to upgrade to iOS 6, not 7, it won't let me do this wirelessly and I have no laptop. How do I upgrade to 6 anyway but not 7?
