PCs & Mobiles Forum - iOS5 is released...but I can`t update - Page 1

I'm not alone:

Although I was also getting "-5000" errors (as well as the "3200" one!)

Maybe you should buy an iPhone 4S...

...not that it could in any way be a marketing ploy to get hundreds of not-as-tech-savvy as you people to buy said new phone

I used to be with it, but then they changed what 'it' was.
Now, what I'm with isn't it, and what's 'it' seems weird and scary

That is very good!

Installing now!!!

So far no problems, like all the question screens at the start. Oooh new icons! Must update my apps first...

Feels really fast, an improvement on before where sometimes when installing apps the thing slowed down and became a bit unresponsive. Also I was never able to update Rage HD despite apparently having 2.2GB of free space, after upgrading it let me update it finally.

One minor snag, all my music and video has gone AGAIN. This happened on an update to 4.2 when that came out, just going to try the fix for it that I posted last time. Which was:

1) Connect your iphone to your computer and launch iTunes
2) Go to your phone on devices and select the music section
3) Double click any music track to start playing it on your computer
4) Click the Sync button

...nope that didn't fix it. The music is definitely there, I can browse it from iTunes on the phone and play it. Just the phone shows it being blank, grrrr.

Copying another track made it worse. It now shows I have one track (the one I copied) yet I still only have 2.2GB free so my music is definitely still on there.

It's like I now have two libraries on it, the one iTunes sees and the one the iPhone sees.

Heard some horror stories about this wiping music, apps, and contacts on the iPhone 4. Were you able to get everything back easily, Rob?

I'm scared to update in case it wipes out everything and corrupts my iTunes backup!
