Apple just released the 6th release of iOS 7 for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch. The small 13.5MB update is available via Software Update and contains the usual bugfixes and improvements.
The update comes a week after the previous update and just hours after a report pegged the Beta 6 update for next week. The focus of the small update appears to be on an emergency issue with iTunes in the Cloud which requires a workaround.
This update addresses an issue with iTunes in the Cloud, where some purchases may download or play unexpected items. If you have any devices running previous versions of iOS 7 beta, you must: 1. Install iOS 7 beta 6 2. Install the ResetMusicAndVideosLibraries configuration profile 3. From Settings > Music, tap the Reset Media Library button 4. Restart the device

The day I installed beta 1 this same thing happened to me. I read a forum discussing it, seems we’re not the only ones. Try downgrading to ios6 to determine if it is a hardware or software issue. Haven’t downgraded yet but I’m convinced mines hardware. Assistive touch for me till GM release when I can trade in my phone I suppose.

I have been installed by OTA and just restore also, anyway, I can not hear the unlock sound, maybe somebody reports something wrong. I guess it is an urgent fix (some hidden security bugs related with iTune Store). From the Known Issues in release note, there are more than 20 kind of bugs in BETA 5, but, nothing has been fixed even the small issues.
Anyway, IF you have a trouble after OTA, Please install in RESTORE after BACKUP, Your problems will be gone. (typical issues, messages/icons on status bar is mess, Safari is terminated very frequently, Can not be rotated screen, …..) There are so many of RANDOM and ACCIDENTAL issues.
I just feel, If Apple announce GM within 4 weeks and without two more beta stage, they are really really crazy.

I’m gonna take a shot in the dark here and say you don’t even have a developer account. As for your comment saying that 2 more betas would be needed: that’s ridiculous. Who says that bugs can’t be fixed IN the gold master? It’s the GOLD MASTER that isn’t supposed to have bugs.

After installing the config profile and reseting the music and video, iTunes will no longer sync my music. So I have no music or videos on my iPhone or iPad and iTunes does a very quick sync, but does not recognise that none of the music selected to sync in iTunes is missing and thus should be re-synced back to the devices. I restarted both my devices but to no avail so far. Will jump on developer forums and see if anyone else is having this problem.

Still doesn’t change the fact that the home screen animation makes me nauseous. Every time those icons fly down into the screen it makes me want to vomit (in the very literal sense…) I never noticed it on my iPhone4, but beta 4 or 5 I finally pulled the trigger and put on my iPhone5 and I had to quickly remove it. Either the animation is different on the 4 or since it’s just a dev unit now that I rarely use, as opposed to all the time, it wasn’t as big of a deal.

pretty sure it’s disabled on the 4 due to performance

Not sure if this is new… After update to beta 6 I went into iTunes Radio and my list was now sorted by artist instead of song title. I went to touch on the song icon at the bottom only to discover that it was not there. I touched on more and there it was but after selecting it it still was not on the main page – only iTunes Radio. Playlist, genius, artist and more. I touched on more and saw there was an edit “button” in the upper right corner so I thought I’d see what it did. Turns out you can arrange which “icons” you want to show at the bottom on the main page when you open iTunes Radio.

First time I’ve experienced this, so I’m assuming its a beta6 thing. Locked phone, make a hands-free voice activated call – unlocks the phone. So, if you leave the phone in a pants pocket, make a voice-initiated call, the keypad is active and keys do get pressed while you are on a call. That ain’t too cool. Hope they catch that one.
