ios 5

**JaytB** · 10-14-2011, 06:03 AM

Installed iOS 5 on my iPad today (holding off to install on my iPhone until I'm sure it won't cause me any problems). Working great so far. Especially love the 'split' keyboard, makes typing during runs a bit easier IMO

Lol dude you have absolutely no idea what your talking about. iOS 5 is public on iTunes as of yesterday. Not flaming, just saying.
Thanks for playing

Gonna try updating my iPad today. Hope it doesn't take the 5 hours it did for my phone lol

If I update it will it wipe out all my apps and music? I've had some problems not being able to sync apps so I'd have to manually download all of them.

If you can't backup your apps in iTunes, you'll have to reinstall them again. Don't really understand why you wouldn't be able to just create a backup in iTunes though.

Once you have updated to iOS 5, and restored your backup, this should be a thing of the past. You can basically backup your songs, apps, settings... automatically to iCloud (5GB free).

Must've somehow missed your post. Updating my iPad took about 15minutes or less (including downloading of firmware). I don't have much on it though (been degraded to a gaming console since I discovered PL)

The upgrade backs up your apps and music to iTunes, wipes your phone, installs the new iOS, and then restores your apps and music from the backup.

The fact that syncs don't work with your phone makes me a little cautious. You might try to do a manual backup and restore on your phone to see if restoring works before you attempt the upgrade.

I'm waiting for the issues to be resolved. People here in house have had various levels of success. I'll try next week sometime I think.

I updated to ios5 when it first came out, didnt have a single problem on my ipod touch 4G.
PL and SL apps still work fine on that os version.

Anyways i use my Galaxy Tab for games lol.

With waiting for iTunes to update, downloading iOS 5, upgrading my phone, and getting everything sync'd,
It took 5 hours -____-

However, the only thing I lost were my contacts, but their names and such are still saved in my messages ....
Tha was my only issue really. My music and apps were still in tact. Idk what happened with my contacts.

EDIT: if I open the phone icon, on the contacts tab they're all still there. If I search them up they appear too. But checking on the contacts app there's nothing there

Weird eh?

Look at the ladies man! Haha

Hmm, even the non-upgrade restore might wipe your phone, so I'd be very, very cautious. Do you know why syncs aren't working for you?

**Phoenixking** · 10-14-2011, 07:49 PM

just noticed that lol all ladies name the lady killer you redryder :P

What is up with that elitist attitude? Seriously, we are all friends here. You don't need to prove that you are better than anybody.
