iOS 6.1.2 fixes Exchange calendar bug, battery drain, passcode flaw

Yes, wifi update will be smaller. iTunes update gets the whole OS presumably for the ability to do a total restore to your phone if something really bad happens at some point. Whole OS isn't needed for a patch, only the patch.
Thank you sir, quick story- im down in sydney to see surgeon & rehab work placement so my pc's in queensland, friend lent me his lappy, visited maccas for the free wi-fi, it was broken down or who knows, so this morning spoke to phone com - TELSTRA about my data, 8gigs one time only $20! So..... I've done it the long way but it's now updated.
thanks again, no doubt I'll be asking more questions or sites to help.
 
Railman - Really? I don't have iTunes on a PC anymore, but I'm sure you can have it store data on any drive you want.

Thanks for your feedback however strange it may seem I had already set iTunes data to another drive before attempting to to back up the iPhone. I would have thought that it was logical for the default drive for a phone backup to go to the same drive as the iTunes data. This was not the case when I attempted to back up my wifes phone. At the time I was using iTunes version 10.5.2. There was no option to change the drive iTunes backed up to. At the time my wife must have had around 5GB data on her phone which was larger than spare space on my C: drive. In the end I used my daughters lap top as she had plenty of space capacity on the C: drive.

Subsequently I did discover that you could set up a virtual c: drive directory on another drive but I felt that such a technical solution should not be necessary for a program that is used by millions. It is possible that this has now been corrected but I suspect that Apple are more interested in directing users to the Cloud.
