How to Download and Update to iOS 6 [IOS 6]

iOS 6 is out, and you can update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch right now if you want. Here's a list of the supported devices and how to install the upgrade.

Note: iOS 6 is currently rolling out so it might not be available to everyone right this minute. Be patient and it will come. Also be aware that everyone is flooding Apple's servers to update, so things might be moving a little on the slow side.

Step One: Make Sure Your iDevice Is Compatible

In order to run iOS 6, you'll need one of the following devices:

Of course, iOS 6 runs on the new iPhone 5 and iPod touch (5th generation) but those devices come with it pre-installed and therefore do not require an upgrade. If you have any of the devices listed above, move on to the next step to upgrade.

Step Two: Upgrade Over the Air or via iTunes

There are two ways to update to iOS 6: using your iDevice or you computer. We'll go over both.

To update your iDevice over the air, follow these steps:

1. Connect your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to power. You don't want the update to stop part-way through because you ran out of battery.
2. Backup your device!
3. Open the Settings app.
4. Tap the General tab.
5. Tap the Software Update tab.
6. Wait for your device to check for updates. When it finds an available update, install it.
7. Wait for the update to download and install. Don't do anything with your phone while it does.

To update your iDevice with iTunes on your computer, follow these steps:

1. Connect your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to your Mac or Windows PC and open iTunes (if it doesn't open automatically).
2. Backup your device!
3. iTunes may tell you that an update (iOS 6) is available for your device. If it does, confirm that you want to install it. If not, click on your device in the iTunes sidebar and tap the Check for Updates button. When an update is found, confirm that you want to install it.
4. Wait for the update to download and, when finished, confirm you want to install it. Wait for the update to install.

Regardless of the method you chose, your device will reboot after the update has completed. You'll most likely need to go through a few setup panels to get started, but your device now has iOS 6!
