Unable to update; it says my IO5 is current

[ParagJain]

HI,

I had installed the beta..i think it was b6 a while ago and today when I am trying to update via itunes, it prompts me with message that the current version of IOS5 is the most current I have. I am unable to update;

Any help is appreciated.

Hi

Anyone else having this issue;

I am using iTunes 10.5 downloaded for Windows 7 64bit yesterday. Is this the correct version for itunes ??

Assuming you are a developer in order to get the beta, you could always download the latest version from Apple's developer site.

I think you need to download the ipsw from another source and restore it manually in iTunes.

Download the gold master from any of a number of places and restore manually.

Ignore these people. Just click "Restore" and iTunes will merrily go and get IOS5 public release and install it on your iPhone.

GM builds are pulled off from dev website. :-(

Nope. Once it goes public, all versions upto-and-including the public version are removed from Dev site.

Download your IPSW from here and restore to it.

crappy part is you shouldn't have to do a restore (at which point you'll have to reset all your settings). You should be able to update properly.

oddly enough, while waiting for IOS5 to download in order to perform a restore, I connected and backed up my phone a few more times, iTunes finally prompted me to update to IOS5.

Going to miss a few features of being jailbroken, but hopefully those will be available soon enough. Really looking forward to new notifications.

downloading from other links..its odd, that ever after the original release, i need to look around on the internet to get the newest software...

It's because it's not an update, it needs to completely replace the firmware. And if you backup, then you don't lose your settings, you can restore your settings from the backup.
