Can't update over WiFi."Unable to Check for Update". Other reports that the update using iTunes works, but Apple servers must not yet allow the update over WiFi. Of course there's something amiss about using WiFi to apply an update that is supposed to fix a WiFi problem.

For the life of me I can't find what the WiFi fix is. I went to [URL=http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1222]http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1222[/URL] but nothing special there; it's a generic security patch webpage. Anyone know? I can't get onto WiFi at work, and it's an old issue (2 years perhaps)

Should be working for all now. [IMG ALT=""]http://forums.appleinsider.com/content/type/61/id/18016/width/350/height/700[/IMG]
