Thank you Pedro, Ronni and Susan for your prompt replies.
I have passed the info on to my husband and hopefully he can go ahead
with this. He bought his iPhone about 2 weeks ago from the Big Apple
Shop in Sydney where we were having a few days visit! Why didn't I
see that one coming?
Unfortunately he does not have his Mac with him at the moment so I
don't know if he will be able to go ahead with this update using only
the iPhone.
Do you know if is it possible to do this from an "ordinary" PC and the
iPhone?
We may find out very soon - it may be me letting you know!

Hi Susan, I did the update as soon as it was released ... apparently
at the time the Apple Servers were on overload ;-)
Should not take near as long now as everyone has probably done the
update by now.
But, I thought I should warn Peta just in case.
Cheers,
Ronni

Ronni, I did this update a couple of days after it was released,
and it took 4 minutes to download. So, it may not take all that
long for that part, although installation and reboot was a wait.
cheers, Susan.

Hi Peta,
Has your Husband previously connected his iPhone to his computer &
done a sync in iTunes?
He needs to have set what he wants to sync to his iPhone in iTunes.
Then to download and install this update:
1. Your husband just needs to connect his iPhone to his computer
and open iTunes (if it doesn't automatically open).
2. Then backup his iPhone, and sync (as he normally would when he
connects his iPhone).
3. Then click on "Check For Update"
4. iTunes will download the file and install the update and his
iPhone will do a restart.
Tell him it takes a long time to download and install this update.
The file is large ... It's a 297.9MB download.
It took me an hour to download the update & then a long time to
install & reboot.
He must NOT disconnect his iPhone while doing this download and
installation.
iTunes will let him know when it is safe to Disconnect the iPhone.
Disconnect the iPhone from within iTunes
Cheers,
Ronni

Hi
Further to Pedro's message of July 31 re sms security problem.
My husband has tried to open the 9-5 mac link given in Pedro's
email (having just bought an iPhone), (http:www9to5mac.com/).
He is a bit confused as to where to go once he opens the
link ,and as he is unfortunately limited as to the times he can
access the net etc he is hoping for some extra help as soon as
anyone is able to give this.
Would anyone be able to provide me with the next steps he needs
to follow so I can carefully relay these to him?
Many thanks,
Peta
