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

[BlindMellon]

Where does this get downloaded on W7?

 

[ChrisSD]

I keep getting "Error 3200" after extracting the software. This is not a "simple" process Apple. What gives? Does anyone have a work around?

 

[rollzst]

no 10.7.2 update is showing for me in software update

iOS 10.5 keeps crashing halfway through download, **** sake!

If you preserve your baseband using tinyumbrella

whats tinyumbrella? will it update the baseband when you upgrade to ios5?

I'm on iOS 5 beta 7 and can't seem to get the GM installed. iTunes thinks the device firmware is incorrect. Do I need to install iTunes 10.5 beta 9(?) in order to get the GM installed?

 

[jonjames]

still no brightness adjustment widget or the likes except thru settings???/

No iOS5 for original iPad?

My iPhone 4 upgraded without issues, but iTunes still tells me that my software (v 4.2) is "the most current version." Anyone else having this issue?

Everything went smooth here. Just trying to figure out how to get my Address Book from iPhone to the Cloud. Thought it's supposed to read my phone automatically or something.

For those experiencing the update problem it may be overloaded apple servers that is the cause as it occurs just after trying to verify the update.

Since it's only just come out be patient and try again later.

I keep getting:

'The iPad "name" could not be restored. An unknown error occurred (3200).'

Any advice ?

if your missing my post due to so many replying, Put your device in airplane mode then hit the update button

I don't understand iMessage, either. How do you send an "iMessage"? Is it integrated into texting? An iPod touch has no phone number, so how do you send an iMessage to an iPod Touch user?

In the settings you can assign an email address to your imessage account, if you sent a text to that email address it will send as an imessage

Installed an running!

Works good.

WSJ LIVE has a very sharp picture. Fast streaming.

Good update.

Siri is only on the new iPhone 4S. It was advertised to be a new feature for the new phone only. If it were a hardware reason (which it might be), only the iPad 2 has hardware like it, right now.

If on regular iPhone 4, you're stuck with the pre-iOS5 voice command feature. Still, I'm glad they mentioned Siri so late in the game, as my main anticipated features are pretty much everything else mentioned. All which does come to previous supported devices.

Just a theory, but considering the fact that Siri was stated to be "Beta", I believe that Siri will be available to at least the iPad 2 when it goes out of Beta....hopefully iPhone 4 even (though I doubt it).

Damn... how long have I been downloading ??? I'm still downloading iOS 5.0...

 

[julianewus]

What update are you looking most forward to using, on just iOS5 for iPhone 4 (so not siri)

 

[sxl277]

Took 5 min to download but it just stops at 100% and tells me my network timed out.

 

[Duardo]

Shew. All my apps have updated

Now waiting on 12 GBs of music

Doing this just changes my error message from 3200 to 5000! Continuing will cause me to lose everything from my iPad!

Yep, servers getting jammed up.

First of all you shouldn't expect to be able to update from a BETA release to the final release in the first place. The best thing is to just take a backup of your iPhone and restore it into the iOS 5.0 release version. Otherwise who knows what kind of issues you might drag along?

And secondly you'll need iTunes 10.5 release client, you can get it from itunes.apple.com. It wont work with any of the 10.5 BETA's and you should certainly not update to iTunes 10.5.1 BETA because that will run you stuck because it wont support iOS 5.0 release update at the same time you can't downgrade back to the iTunes 10.5 release version either.

 

[lewys]

can we add any other widgets like turning wifi on or off or adjusting brightness like sbsettings?
