Apple Releases iOS 5 with Notification Center, iMessage, Twitter, and More

[LaMerVipere]

Download speeds fluctuating rapidly.

From a 2MB/sec to 200kb/sec to 30kb/sec or so and then back again.

Only the AppleTV version has a 'v'. The other files all say 9A334, which was the GM seed build released last week.

GM seed build released last week is the same as final release iOS 5 that was released 30+minutes ago?

Hung up at 3 minutes. Oy.

In line with Apple's announced schedule calling for a release today, iOS 5 is now available to download for iPad, iPhone, and iPod touch users. Users can obtain the update by connecting their devices to iTunes and clicking the "Check for Update" button. It may take a few minutes for the update to propagate to all users, however.

I got this on my iPhone with iOS5 GM... anyone else?

It's saying backing up iPhone then it goes to restore phase. What happened to update? Why restore?

Got a timeout error, have to start over
The re-download goes pretty snappy, let's hope it stays like that

Yep, just happened to me, with only 5 minutes left to the download.

And now fluctuating between 20kbps and 150kbps...

You can't OTA this! If you got GM you are good, no OTA until they update 5.0

 

[Bryan Bowler]

Download time for me is reading 4 days, 7 hours, and 22 minutes.

 

[ballsop]

Yes it's getting on my nerves. I wonder why it's doing that. Do we have to upgrade to the public release manually?

i thought that. can anyone who has waited and just downloaded the public version today confirm they get an error message when they go to "software update" in settings > general

 

[ChrisTX]

Had to chose between updating the iPad 2 first, or the iPhone 4, updating the 4, beyond excited for the iPad2 later!

Is your phone JB ?

 

[Popinbottles]

I feel sorry for apples servers

Hopefully all that money they spent in North Carolina will keep things from crashing.

 

[patent10021]

It's going straight to restore. Is this how it should be?

 

[hollerz]

Even though the Lion Updates were started first by about 5-10 mins here, the iOS 5 update just inched past it. Claims 30 mins for iOS and 3 hours for OS X. Anybody else's coming close to that?

2 hours for OS X and 30 mins for iOS for me, despite OS X starting first as well.

Cancelling MobileMe killed a few minutes, need to find something else to do now

 

[SamG2020]

If the GM is the same as the official release, does the official release also still have Newsstand blocked?

Mine unblocked itself, not sure if it was from quitting the app and re-opening, or re-starting the phone.

 

[BlindGoldfish]

Is it bad if the estimated time remaining of a download goes up..?

No, it means you are actually going back in time. Wrap your head around that.

 

[tharris0101]

You can't OTA this! If you got GM you are good, no OTA until they update 5.0

Yes, this is what I've been trying to say. GM people can sit back and not worry about updating. They are running the same version as everyone else.

 

[7.29.80]

i thought that. Can anyone who has waited and just downloaded the public version today confirm they get an error message when they go to "software update" in settings > general

you can't update the gm with ota because there is nothing to update!!!! You have 5.0 already!!!! If they came out with 5.01 then you can update through software update in settings!!!

 

[DreamLand]

Why the ispw file size of the final release is different than GM?

The size for final release is 774 MB for iPhone 4 but it is 811.9 MB for GM release!!!

Hopefully all that money they spent in North Carolina will keep things from crashing.

was hoping it would allow for faster downloads
