You were probably on beta 4 and it expired today. Same thing happened to me. You'll just have to DL beta 7 offline and install.Hello, thanks for reading. Here's my problem. I read here on Macrumours that iOS5 beta 7 was out and available over the air. So naturally I tried doing it. When I wen to Software update, my iPhone told me that It was up to date. So I thought, Whatever. I'll just download it off my mac later. About 10 minutes later I take my iPhone out of my pocket. What comes up is the welcome screen that you get when first turning on a fresh iOS5 device. So I went through the process, for some reason my iPhone cannot connect to the "Activation Servers" I tried plugging my iPhone into iTunes. So I could just update it there. Well, I can but the problem is iTunes will not back up my iPhone! I do not want to lose all my content on my phone. Please help and thanks for reading.
Either that or you bought a UDID slot and Apple shut down the persons account that you bought it from.
Good Call! But I can't install without wiping my iPhone. iTunes simply doesn't want to back my iPhone up. Suggestions?
Same thing just happened to me 
I'm putting beta 7 on and then restoring to a backup I made a few days ago. My iPhone is out of action for a few hours ago though which is flipping' annoying!

Gonna have to install from a previous backup. It wiped your phone when the beta expired.
