Trying to OTA update on my 4S from 5.0.1 right now. Keep getting "Unable to Check for Update" errors.

Can I assume the servers are just swamped? Or is something wrong on my end? The update to 5.0.1 worked fine OTA.
 
I keep on getting an error "iPod update server could not be contacted" I'm using a iPod Touch 4G..

Anyone else experiencing this?

That would be a viable guess to me as well. Personally, I'd wait at least a week. If your phone is working fine as is, why rush? Updates aren't major and important anyway, unless you are one of the unlucky ones that updated to 5.0 and started having battery issues. I'm giving it time to see what more people are saying about the update before I decide.

Makes sense. I'll give it a try later. I'm in no hurry... I just wanted to make sure my phone isn't the problem.
 
Ugh, being a designer and seeing that the new 'slide to unlock" and camera button are not centered on the grey area and more toward the bottom is an oversight that I can not agree with!

FIX IT!

Unbelievable. 5.1 OS versions later and we STILL can't delete ANY pic from our phones, only ones taken with the camera. STILL can't choose a "check all" option when editing email messages -- forced to select each message individually to delete/move/copy, etc. STILL can't add attachments directly to a message while in the mail app. And now comes the latest farce from them in the form of YET ANOTHER incremental update to a product and calling it new instead of introducing fresh, innovative features. I'm fed up.

What the hell was all that "we're finally allowing you to cut the cord" crap about when they introduced 5.0 if I'm STILL having to connect to my computer for anything?!!!!!!!

They've got one more chance with me in the next iPhone. I've tried my damnedest to be loyal since 2007 only for them to try to screw me outta my money by releasing these half-baked updates to both the hardware AND software in order to boost their profits and reputation. I can't possibly be the only one who clearly sees what they're doing...am I?

The competition's way too stiff at this point. This ain't 2007 anymore when they truly were revolutionizing things. More often than not with EVERYTHING they do these days they're just playing catch-up to what Android has already done, especially on the software side of things. And coming soon, with the new cameras and related software on the HTC ONE-series phones, once again they'll be lagging behind in the feature department.

Not only did I not upgrade to 4S, I'm surely not buying this "new IPad" just for a bump in screen resolution. And it's thicker and heavier! It seems trivial but if there's any tell-tale indicator of where this company is going after Steve's death that would be it. When in their history up to his demise did a new product come in that wasn't thinner and lighter?? Spare me the crap about the radios necessitating the extra bulk. Excuses, excuses. I'm so done if they release another 3.5" phone in the next update. I truly hate Android but just to demonstrate my frustrations with Apple I will switch so help me god. Are you coming with me?
 
No, it was advice. A lot of non-members read these forums. If you're going to say:

"best to wait for the next major one...!"

...then you need to add on: "if, like me, you don't care about bug fixes because your phone is perfect right now."

To not do so gives bad advice to newcomers with little technical knowledge. And that drags down the quality and usefulness of Macrumors. And I think that harming this community is something we should all try to avoid.

oh dearie me :rolleyes:
