IOS5

IOS 5 is out although it may be a while before it propagates to all iTunes regions, my impression is that you need the latest version of iTunes i.e. 10.5

Niall · Oct 12, 2011, 18:50:15

Correct. My mate was telling me last night that it was out but I couldn't find it. When I installed 10.5 it then told me the update was available. I'm breaking my phone as we speak

Simon · Oct 12, 2011, 18:51:04

Got the iTunes update earlier. Just waiting for iOS5 to come up now. I hope it's good because I'll be giving up my Jailbreak for it.

Downloading now, started off fast but now its very slow

Can everyone stop downloading the update please so I can get it quicker

Simon · Oct 12, 2011, 19:09:31

Let me know if it buggers up your phone!

psp83 · Oct 12, 2011, 19:12:23

I will if it ever downloads..

now its starting to download from the start, it got to 600mb of 774mb and threw the above error

I need to know if you can actually use your own custom message tones and alerts, not just ones you can buy from iTones.

Don't think you get custom SMS sounds.

It can't be hard to give that option though, you can have custom ringtones

Simon · Oct 12, 2011, 19:20:39

You can, Mitch. It's one of the new features.

Niall · Oct 12, 2011, 19:55:28

Yep, that killed my phone right nice. Restore, reinstall, restore, reinstall. It seems to be stuck in a loop and is now stuck restoring the apps. Ah I love these Apple updates.

Niall · Oct 12, 2011, 20:03:11

Lots of reports on google of problems for those that 'successfully' installed it too. Hmm I may be buying an S2 sooner than planned

{edit} Oh wait, that threat seems to have kicked it into life. It's now restoring 16gb of music. Woo.

Steve · Oct 12, 2011, 20:07:30

Thank goodness I've been to the pub , some nice Exmoor Gold I'll worry about Apple updates tomorrow

PS I think an early start might pay dividends

Niall · Oct 12, 2011, 20:12:54

I think Jobs' last laugh was to set a gremlin loose amongst everything Apple, and let the new bloke take all the flak for the demise of Apple

Simon · Oct 12, 2011, 20:15:08

So, is your 3GS borked, Niall?

Niall · Oct 12, 2011, 20:22:47

Oddly, it's just finished restoring and now it's using IOS5, despite telling me there was an error and forcing the restore. I have no idea what's happened but it's definitely IOS5 on it now

Lance · Oct 12, 2011, 20:46:01

I'm just downloading iTunes 10.5 now so that I can get iOS 5 installed. I'll report back on progress later!

edit: just flicked back to iTunes and it is offering the iOS 5 upgrade so it looks like you don't need 10.5 after all.

Steve · Oct 12, 2011, 20:48:25

I think it unlikely I'll have any success before tomorrow am

psp83 · Oct 12, 2011, 20:56:03

Best thing is to wait until tomorrow to update.. you will probly get this everytime if you try right now :

Servers are to busy to authorize the update

Lance · Oct 12, 2011, 21:28:06

300mb down, 40 mins remaining

Simon · Oct 12, 2011, 21:29:14

Oh, hell, I'm going for it...

Lance · Oct 12, 2011, 21:37:00

Please don't! You'll slow mine down even more!!!

Now at 437mb...

Simon · Oct 12, 2011, 21:38:33

I've started, so I'll finish...

Lance · Oct 12, 2011, 21:39:32

You hope

Simon · Oct 12, 2011, 21:46:30

35 minutes remaining...
