Bricked?

I thought my 3GS was killed by the update too, but I just kept retrying, and it seems to be updating correctly, but very slowly now. It has been scary.
 
Updated iphone

I updated my 3GS to iOS 5 and now most of my apps have been deleted. It is restoring but has removed all of them from their folders.
This is not a good update. I didn't mind the slow downloads, but after 3 attempts with errors it was very frustrating. I'm not sure going back to a previous backup will help because I don't want to go through this again.

I think it will be easier to reorganize my folders like I did the last time apple had a major upgrade. Am I doing something wrong?

It is now copying 6 of 91 apps back to my iphone. Uggghh!!!
 
Thanks...but my iPod Touch has it now and that doesn't always have internet. Both have wifi only. Are you positive? Why would iPod Touch have the widgets but the iPad2 wifi doesn't?

As far as I know, the iPad has never had Apple-made Weather or Stock apps.. So, there's no apps for the Notification center to get that data from..

Sucks..

Really hope there will be ways for 3rd parties that make Weather and Stock apps for the iPad to make this type of data available to the Notification Center....
 
looks like my iPhone 4 is bricked ... update to iOS failed, tried all sorts including restarting phone, now it's stuck in a loop between the apple logo and the rotating circle thing iTunes won't pick it up anymore.... oh dear ... UK user here ...

Yikes! I hope you're able to resolve that sometime SOON.

After reading some of these horror stories, I'm kinda happy that I've decided to wait till I get my new iP4S this weekend.
 
mail syncs mail

iCloud not syncing mail or keychain, though? Not a huge fan.

does anyone know if I can have an iCloud account that can have "sub" family accounts for my wife and I's separate devices?

Mail syncs mail... and keychain not working has been a known thing since before today. So unless you had a hole you been hiding in you should know this.
 
Updated my iPod Touch to iOS5 and now I have lost all of my apps!
Does anyone have any ideas how I can get them reinstalled?

my ipad2 has no stockmarket app or weather app built in, perhaps thats the limitation.
 
To enable wi-fi syncing you need to check a box in iTunes while your phone is plugged in. Took me a while to figure it out. It's in the same section as the encrypt backups and mange manually options.

I did this and the iPhone just says "Looking for ____'s MacBook", yet never connects :(

EDIT: nevermind. I had to quit iTunes and reload.

It happend the same here with me (Brazil). DFU it:

That got iTunes to recognize the iPhone again, but now iTunes is stuck on: "verifying restore with Apple˜ (literal translation from portuguese).

Good luck.
 
ichat will not work with aim in 10.7.2

3004 issue

Cheers Apple you bricked my iP4!

Cant even switch the phone on. Just get the connect to itunes screen. So much for their fancy data centre. So i cant use my phone just because the server cant cope and there was me laughing at all the Blackberry owners with having their issues over the past few days. Seems they have the last laugh! Ill try again in the morning. Bed time. zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz:p
 
Not a problem here, iPhone 4, iMac, Macbook and iPad all updated, just finishing the iPhoto update.

Looking forward to picking up my iPhone 4s later this week. :apple:
 
Hang in there

This is the same message I got, and eventually it worked out. It is restoring from backup now and s l o w l y putting back my songs and apps. I still don't know for sure, but it looks like it is going to be ok.

Yeah...you are probably right and that is why there are no notification widgets ! Thanks. Still trying to figure out this wifi/cloud synching stuff. My iTunes keeps opening up after I close it on desktop and laptop.
 
wow, I'm feeling lucky after reading this. I updated my 2010 MacPro (Running Lion) and iPad2 in less than an hour, total (including the download time), and it went as smoothly as could be.
 
3+ hours to download and update my iPad.
30 minutes to update my Macbook Pro
About 15 minutes to update iPhone 4
Looks like it's getting better as the day goes on.

One question, if anybody knows the answer. I had an old MobileMe account that I let expire some time ago. I want to get the same email I had with my .me account, but of course I can't log in and migrate my .me account to iCloud because my .me account is expired. When I try to use my old .me email address to create an iCloud email, I get a message that the address is taken (by my old account, I assume).
Anybody know how to get hold of my old .me email address?
I use a different email address as my Apple ID.

Thanks!
