October 13, 201115 yr I'm getting network timeouts on the (700mb) download. I'm assuming that the Apple servers are being overloaded? Anyone else having any luck? TheWombat
October 13, 201115 yr I'm getting network timeouts on the (700mb) download. I'm assuming that the Apple servers are being overloaded? Anyone else having any luck? TheWombat One of my friends said it was taking forever. Dunno. Kinda sad if you ask me considering apple should have the server power to get the upload to people quickly. The problem is that when it goes slow, its gets extremely backed up, and then more and more people leech the download. Kinda a like a domino effect. I've downloaded so much crap in the past few years and i've never seen a legit company have issues like this. Apple should have many mirror servers available for download, but i dunno. Sometimes companies rent servers for updates in anticipation for large amounts of leeching, my guess is apple released the updated and gave little thought to the sheer amount of volume in customer downloads, that could be the only reason i foresee. If its really not working for you, leave it be, os5 isnt a huge improvement and you can do with out it for a day or 2.
October 13, 201115 yr Took me 5 tries and the download took forever; I think their servers are just being pounded. Give it a day and all should work.
October 13, 201115 yr I have a big issue, my company has me stuck on Blackberry so no iPhone for me. Bah.
October 13, 201115 yr I have a big issue, my company has me stuck on Blackberry so no iPhone for me. Bah. There's a legit reason for this u know, blackberry is very good when it comes to privacy. Iphone/apple on the other hand couldn't care.
October 13, 201115 yr Took about an hour total when I got home from work tonite to download the whole deal and install it on my 3GS. Now to get used to the new stuff ...
October 13, 201115 yr I never download new OS updates like this one until it has been on the street for a week or 2 minimum, I know apple isn't like MS but I still like to see what issues people are having first before I take the plunge. Harry

October 13, 201115 yr Author Finally completed downloading the update, now backing up iPad and installing. Normally I'd wait a few days before trying however I am meant to be in my organization's test group so need to install today to confirm all works ok before we give the go-ahead for several thousand users. :-) TheWombat
October 13, 201115 yr Author Post iOS5 install I have a lot of applications missing. I'm now doing a 'Sync Apps' but also received a message "Some of the apps in your iTunes library were not installed on the iPad because of one or more errors". There is a list of 28 applications including Pets Live, TwinBlades HD, VLC, Google Earth, Dilbert, Canabalt etc Once the synching is complete I'll check whether it is because these apps are no longer available on the AppStore or if it is something else.

October 13, 201115 yr There's a legit reason for this u know, blackberry is very good when it comes to privacy. Iphone/apple on the other hand couldn't care. They're so good (RIM) that they protected the privacy of all of their members yesterday by preventing them from doing **** yesterday...

TheWombat Mine actually synched up all my apps properly. It was even putting them in the correct place.... until I started messing with some of the sorting... then it started putting them wherever... sigh. I got 'em all re-organized now!

TheWombat Hey it took me about 3 hours last night. My phone would backup then after it started to update i would get an error message. It kept giving me this problem for about an hour, then i unplugged all devices from mac except the iphone usb, restarted mac and iphone, then it worked, but after it installed new software my phone took about 30 minutes to boot.
October 13, 201115 yr I dont want to update my jail broken Ipad just yet IOS 5 has already been jailbroken. http://gizmodo.com/5849353/ios-5-tethered-jailbreak-is-already-out-using-redsn0w
October 13, 201115 yr IOS 5 has already been jailbroken. http://gizmodo.com/5849353/ios-5-tethered-jailbreak-is-already-out-using-redsn0w Not really, go read your link. U need to hook it up to PC every time you turn it on, no thanks. And that one doesnt even work for Ipad 2. REAL jailbreak will be out eventually.
