How to upgrade to iOS 6 in your iPhone, iPad and iPod

Bear in mind, you will need to have the newest version of iTunes in your Apple device for updating to iO6. Yet another necessity is to create a backup of your data as updating might result in complete data loss. There is no hard and fast rule about the effectiveness of the process on all devices, though it has been tested on iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad separately. Here are the major steps that you need to follow:

The whole process starts with downloading disk image (.DMG) file and the particular file that you are using. Make sure that the version of your file matches with the device you are updating to new operating system.
When you double click on the downloaded file, software updates (.IPSW) will be stored on the same directory or drive where you placed (.DMG) file. Windows users need software like WinZip for extraction of files.
Once you are done with all this, now it is time to open iTunes and connect your Apple device to your desktop or Mac.
Windows users need to press and hold Shift key, while Mac users should press and hold option key and then press restore button simultaneously.
Go though the file that you downloaded (.IPSW) and click to select. It will take some time to finally update.
If you had first created backup of your data you can restore it with iTunes synchronization.

Now you are all set to use your Apple device with the latest iO6. This is the best way of enjoying the latest features while everyone else is still waiting for it to be launched officially.
