I connected my iphone for update after nearly a year of last update. I left it running and when I came back my iphone was newly installed. All pics and files are gone and now I have no phone numbers from contacts, no messages, nothing. All gone. Tried to restore from the backup but also does not do it completelly and still phone numbers are gone.
So I upgraded my software on 2 IPhone 4's and worked great. Then went to go charge one of the phones and had a hard time getting it to charge. Finally got it to charge. Went to the other phone and the exact same thing. Is there something I am missing here or is it a phenomenon that two Iphone charging/docking ports started to mess up at the exact same time. Any reasons or answers will greatly help. Everything was going great until IOS 5! Thanks everyone.
Do not download OS 5.0.1 it has too many bugs, one that will randomly kill your speaker. Stick with OS 5 until the idiots at Apple fix 5.0.1 - it amazes me the stupidity of the Apple people letting such rubbish onto the market - it just shows their arrogance.
just updated a 4S to iOD 5.01 .. or thought I did, the thing crashed doing the update (error 14) and I now I cannot restore my phone at all..I get a the "restore phone" process gets underway, software extracts, and the phone gets "verified", phone gets prepared to restore...i get a "restoring iphone software" and the bar gets to about 1/5 up the screen...and then fails in error 14.
I am running Windows 7 and have disabled all of my firewalls, AV kit, etc. and Checked USB ports. I have done hard reboot of phone to also no effect.
Please help, this total screwup has ruined my night, and might very ruin much more if I cannot get a working phone back very soon.
thanks, but i cannot find the update file (german computer makes it a little more complicated) the file names are not right in any case, what is a typical file name pls?
right. after moronically repeating out of pure desperation the steps luther kindly provided the restore finally worked...after EIGHT ATTEMPTS OF DOING EXACTLY THE SAME THING, with no changes AT ALL to the process, I finally got my brainbox back with 5hours and a wasted evening. I think this is a disgraceful standard of service that Apple provides and I am strongly considering handing my phone back.
Luther thanks for your help. Apple go hang.
I have only had the update installed for a few minutes, so I don't know about battery life yet as the iPhone 4S is now tethered to a MacBook. Download could not have taken more than 10 minutes on fiber optic service in Japan. Every thing was automatic. Smooth as ice. Nothing to complain about, that I know of.
When updating an iPhone 4S, I got a message "Unable to Install Update An error occurred installing iOS 5.0.1." With only the option to Close or Settings -- with no option to delete and re-download!!! Looks like OTA updates are not yet well tested. :-(

Clearly Apple sent this one to the presses a little prematurely. I've noticed a lot of people have been having problems. I have two devices, iPhone 3GS and iPod Touch 3G - iPhone is my main device, so I held off and decided to upgrade on my Touch only.
Didn't have any problems per say... however my device appeared to be finished with the upgrade before my iTunes. Usually when doing any kind of upgrade or sync, the sync screen pops up and the device isn't useable until iTunes finishes. With the iOS 5 upgrade, my iPod fell out of sync mode into the set-up phase. After finishing the set-up (asks to turn on location services, and enter your Apple ID etc) my device went right to Springboard, and appeared to be %100 useable. Except my iTunes indicated it was still configuring apps. I can see someone prematurely unplugging their device thinking the upgrade is complete, and having something screw up because iTunes wasn't finished.
Not sure what the reason for this was - if maybe the iTunes interface was lagging.. But I've never been able to use my device while iTunes was doing anything, especially an upgrade or a sync. So if you haven't updated yet, make sure your iTunes has completely finished doing everything before unplugging your device.
Weird. All the Facebook-based apps on my iOS devices (two iphone and one ipad) aren't working right after the latest update. Something Apple change, must mess with Facebook API (or so I'm guessing).
I have an iPod touch 4th generation, 8 gigabytes. It's been "downloading" iOS 4.3.1. for almost 2 hours now. I'm about to yank it out of the computer because based on what I've read, it's useless either way. I'm running Windows XP.
Someone help me, I don't want to go back to my shuffle.
Let's hope it doesn't happen to others, but all the app folders I had set up were gone after the update, and the apps distributed across several screens. Took a long time to redo all the folders I had. Also the voicemail thing happened to me. Not the cleanest update, for sure
I attempted to update my iPhone 3G S through iTunes (and noting that under Version it clearly says 'A newer version of the iPhone software is available (version 4.2). To update your phone with the latest software, click Update.'
However, when I click Update I get a dialogue that says 'This version of iTunes (9.2.1) is the current version.' Solution / suggestions most welcome.
iTunes 10 only works with OSX 10.5 install it on your powerbook G4, it's the last OSX version there ever will be for our good old PPC Mac's.
Apple only continues support for there intel Mac's, I don't like it, but hey, Apple wants to sell there new stuff.
To avoid the two hour iTunes download wait I've downloaded the plugin file direct from this page.
Some instructions on how to install these files would be helpful.
Double-clicking on them does nothing. They appear to be iTunes plugins so I tried placing it in the iTunes plugins folder in the root library. Nothing doing...
Any tips?
Going on 2 and 1/2 hours "backing-up"! I wish I knew what the problem is. I did a back-up yesterday. It IS doing something but it is going very slowly. Using OSX 10.6.4 and newest iTunes.
Since the upgrade to 3.1.2 on my iPod Touch 2nd generation, my Wi-Fi network died.
It sees the network, seems to connect to it, but anything else is a failure.
No MAIL, no APP STORE, no SAFARI surfing, no iDISK, no MOBILEME, no SYNC of any kind, nada. From now on, I'm living a nightmare.
Same here on iPhone first generation. Connection was OK before update to 3.1.2
I seem to have to put it in Airplane mode and then turn Airplane mode off in order to connect to WiFi. Went to Apple discussions and there are many others with the same problem.
Come on Apple. Knock, Knock. Anyone home? Listen to the masses and fix this issue once and for all.
When I attempted to apply the 3.1 firmware update, it completely screwed my iPhone. And I do mean completely, as in 100%.
I literally had to attach it to another Mac and restore it to the original factory settings just to get it activated so I could have a phone! Everything was reset. I have to manually redo every single setting, re-add all my email accounts, my wireless network settings, EVERYTHING. Trying to restore from a previous backup FAILED.
Luckily my Contacts are backed up on MobileMe so I didn't lose them, but it's still a nightmare.

After updating to 5.0.1 I now enjoy 4 HOURS of battery life with no way of reverting back to 5.
Apple, please update 5.0.2 to the old 5.

iCloud seems a bit fiddly, but once it's up and running, it's fantastic and works seamlessly in the background.
iMessages - don't have many other friends who use it (maybe they haven't updated to iOS 5 yet), but works like a charm.
Other little things, weather hourly forecast, camera on lock screen - worhty update overall!

It's getting worse.
I can connect to any Wi-Fi network, but mine, on my iMac.
Internet coffee works well... LOL Stores also.
I've tried everything, every resets available, on my iPod and on my iMac.
Disabling my firewall, create a new network, bla-bla-bla...
It sees my network, log (or seems to log) properly using the good password, then : nothing.
I'm going crazy.
