David- From my house, I typically get 2 of 3 bars. Do I need to get 3 of 3 in order to be assured of a good update? Thanks- Cher

Sure Christopher. Only, my partner updated over the air using a weak wifi signal, and her iDevice started having some interesting problems. When she finally hooked up to iTunes and did a full repair, the problems went away. Explain that however you choose. As for me, I will only update over wifi when I have a consistently strong signal.

If it stays pretty consistently strong then there's no difference between using your friend's wifi or any other wifi. For me personally, I'd worry more about dropped connections and having to restart the update process than I would about a corrupted update. I'm sure Apple has enough checks that it won't start an update until it knows it has a good image downloaded to your phone. Finally, unless Facetime isn't working for you, you can just wait until you have access to your PC or a more reliable wifi network. > >> On 11/23/2013 02:35 PM, David Chittenden wrote: >> Personally, I would go over to his house.
