The iOS download time is near and we are counting down, this is the biggest Apple software countdown to date and millions will be sitting right there next to their laptops / desktops etc hitting the update button within iTunes.

No one know what the exact time the iOS 5 update will go live tomorrow (Oct 12), but we are suggesting 10am in US (Pacific Time) and 6pm (GMT London Time).

This post on iPhone Rumors makes some suggestions on what you should do before updating your iPhone, and as we’re very close to the iPhone iOS 5 download time, how about a little refresh for our beloved readers on what to do before installing this new Apple software onto your iDevice.

Here come the tips:

1. Make sure you have an Apple iPhone etc (Only joking as that’s obvious).
2. On a serious note now — Visit Apples website and check to see if your iPhone is compatible with the new iOS 5, the reason we mention this is all down to the fact that older models such as the iPhone 3G and before will not be able to install.
3. Make sure you have the latest iTunes; tomorrow will see iTunes getting its 10.5 update.
4. Make sure you back up your Apple device before installing iOS 5.
5. Update all you applications, probably best to have all the updated apps as well as many of them will support iOS 5.
6. If you are into jailbreaking, you may want to revert back their software before updating, this is your choice though.
7. Once again BACKUP your iOS device before installing iOS 5, just in case something goes wrong.

We will let you know when the new iOS 5 goes live, personally we would wait until Thursday 13th because tomorrow everyone will be smashing the servers to bits to get the new iOS 5, it will be the case of MILLIONS hitting that update button all at once.

What time do you think Apple will make iOS 5 download live?

UPDATE: Sorry all, but iOS 5 is not live yet, we just like you are sitting here waiting patiently. Stay with us. Just to let you know we are starting our “iOS 5 public problems and discussions” page for you all to come. Oh and iCloud.com has gone live but you will need iOS 5 to enter etc, read more here.

Update 2: iOS 5 Release worldwide time zones

Update 3: iOS 5 is now live, go download

  5. Pauls11 says:

    go on itunes you can download itunes 10.5 now,,,, if your tempted to download ios 5 gm restore  from one of the torrent sites you can but i think you should wait because there is a couple of things which need updating even though it says the current ios 5 is current and will check again on the 18th october,,i no because ive done it and it works fine but i am still gonna back up my phone and download the offical ipsw

    good luck

    @cdbd0fc149a8625afa7b9e655802968b:disqus Open iTunes and at the top of the iTunes there should be a task bar starting with File and ending with Help. Go to Help then to Check for Updates iTunes will then check for 10.5 and will report back with the findings of the Update so then let it update and there you are now ready for iOS 5 tomorrow at whatever itis out. Hope I helped you 🙂

  8. Andre Cabrera says:

    I’m a registered Apple developer and I have the iOS 5 Gold Master update and let me tell you that it’s worth the wait. iOS 5 is so advanced you’ll forget your using a phone I am head over heels in love with iOS5 not just notification center but edited and cropping pictures. As well as using the volume button to capture photos I think iOS 5 is by far the most advanced mobile operation system in any phone out now. My 4S comes on friday hopefully and I cannot wait to use Siri.

  9. conor porteous says:

    @google-95e454199696bf38ffa5ebff95c18045:disqus Thanks for saying that now tomorrow will go slower no I know it is worth the wait I am FREAKING GOING TO DIE if I don’t get it sooner that 6PM tomorrow 🙁

          3. Jamsterthehamster1905 says:

            is it actually downloading or are people lieing coz im not getting it in england

  29. Adam says:

    It does say in the article it’ll be available in the UK at 18:00 on 12-10-2011 which is about 17 hours from now. You guys have a long, long wait if your sitting there constantly pressing ‘check for update’ in iTunes! Apple has always released updates at around18:00 on the day of release.

  30. Anonymous says:

    my best friend’s mom makes $78 an hour on the computer. She has been out of job for 9 months but last month her check was $7587 just working on the computer for a few hours. Read about it here

  32. Benstoneman says:

    Yes! Just got IOS 5! Not Just Itunes 10.5. Put the device in dfu mode and open itunes as an administrator and click restore. Also change the time on the clock to 18:05 12/10/2011….GOOD LUCK

    6. Icarus says:

      Indeed. And if you stand upside down chanting evil tunes while pressing all six left mouse buttons it Will install iOS 6! No point in trying this as it Will not do anything to get closer to iOS 5. Fetch iTunes 10.5 and wait it out 🙂

  43. Gert says:

    For those having problems, Change Location in windows control panel to US and make sure you are not updating jailbroken device. if it does not work change date to 13/10/2011

    1. Gert says:

      Uninstall Itunes then reinstall it, Uninstall quicktime, Deauthorise computer in itunes the authorise. make sure battery is full, use official cable, and bens instructions should work

        1. Gert says:

          Its not the device thats the problem, Its how you follow instructions, the other people dont have problems. must be your pc thats junk or cruddy net connection

          1. guest says:

            Laptop is fine, All setting have been changed, Tested with un-restored iphone 4. Internet is working fine. If you have an iphone 4 and got the IPSW then please upload it

      2. Ycnah says:

        done it 3x times now, have followed instructions to the letter .. still not running IOS 5 .. do u think it matters what country your in? im in New Zealand

  51. Guest says:

    So for those who are wondering iOS isn’t actually released yet..So stop saying you’ve downloaded it or by changing your settings to US you’ve downloaded it. The only possible iOS you can download right at this point in time in the developers version of iOS 5. Apple have released Itunes 10.5 but not iOS 5

    1. Sam says:

      SAME.. Just gonna wait it out.  5am Tomorrow (Tassie Daylight Time) it should be going love around then. I think that is 6am EST if you’re in a part of Aus that hasn’t got Daylight Savings just yet.

  55. REALLTANNOYEDiPHONEOWNER says:

    Ben is full of sh*t… just spent over an hour messing with this and it just doesnt work.. Ben should stop pretending to be different people and saying it works, it doesnt, it’s not available yet.
    Ben you c*ck s*cking n*b jockey

            Stupid, yes, but just trying to waste your time a little…

            Not a gaybot? Nice name you just made up for yourself. Seriously, are you bots in a cubicle at a PR company, or do you get to work by a pool somewhere?

            Do you own the PR company or just a work from home freelancer?

            What’s your role in posting things like this:

        Sorry Tony — maybe I’m wrong.

            That foreign language post was a repost of Brit’s comment about Daniel Radcliffe — just messing with her!

            Your cubicle is obviously not treating you nicely at the moment 😉

          I forgot to mention — this is a re-post of one of your posts Gert — although given you probably are borrowing this social profile as a human-bot, you probably don’t know what posts were sent previously.

          Interesting….

      3. Mrs Jessicaayres says:

        hmm… so i changed the date and time on my computer and my phone… opened itunes (which is 10.5) put my phone in DFU mode and then clicked restore… my phone is still on 4,2,10. Do i need to set it up as a new phone or am I missing something?

    3. Mr. Rushmore says:

      you have to wait unfortunately, they only released iTunes 10.5. Your iPhone operating system upgrade (iOS5) won’t be available until tomorrow sometime. Rumors are saying 10am PST. Hope this helps.

    3. phonesreview says:

      Can you re-post that not in caps — it’s hurting my ears?

      Also, just wondering why you have a lower-case “t” at the end of your name :/ Very interesting dude…

          2. phonesreview says:

            Oooh!  You are a cleaner…

            What would you recommend for use in a shower, preferably something non-toxic?

          3. phonesreview says:

            You are worthy of being liked, man…
            Thanks for taking the time to have this conversation, I know you were just having some fun and sorry for making it a little personal and drawing you out like this.Suppose you did say you like to hear the dogs barking, but I have a feeling people have said that to you and I’m sorry for that.Sorry for hurting your feelings.

            Truce?

  69. toof hurty says:

    Really, all this is boiling down to, is that the doucher who thinks that he can cheat his way into iOS5 just a few hours earlier needs to get a pair of balls and pay a prostitute to lick them on occassion.  Also, stop trying it for god’s sake!

        2. phonesreview says:

          well, actually “reality” backs me up — and reality puts you into a cubicle, or beside a pool having some wonderful fun!

          Sorry for hassling you seriously though! Just wanted to balance out all that time-wasting you are doing for people making the try the iOS install!

          I’ll leave you alone now if you want. But if you say I’m just quitting the argument I’ll be back, maybe after I go for a coffee break 🙂

          +1 for CAPS… sometimes 😉

            I don’t troll with the iPads — I develop and test my iOS and Android enterprise apps for corporates :p

            I like your energy JOHNt! Want to invest some of that money in my company?

            We’ve got a bit of a professional connection going here!

            It’s 2:52 pm here in Melbourne, Australia — time for a coffee break! — so no, I shouldn’t keep you up, it’s not fair on you, I’ve had a good nights sleep, you’ve been cleaning all day.

          6. JOHNt says:

            IF I WERE A DIRTY CLEANER LIKE YOU WHY WOULD YOU WANT A CLEANERS SALARY. YOU CLEARLY HAVE A LOW I.Q AND LOW ASPIRATIONS. WOW YOU HAVE 3 IPADS AND A GALAXY TAB AND YOU THINK YOU ARE A DEVELOPER. THEY DONT USE KIT LIKE THAT. THEY USE REAL EQUIPMENT YOU USE TOYS. TRAMP

          7. toof hurty says:

            In all curiousity, I would like to learn what a ‘dirty cleaner’ is.  I don’t believe I would hire them.

          12. phonesreview says:

            We need to test on consumer devices before we release apps.

            Also, I love using tablets for my personal entertainment and project management.

            Hmm, you reveal yourself as a non-developer by calling us “they”.

            You said you were really rich, so that way why I was asking if you wanted to invest.

            Obviously you are not capable of intelligent conversation and you’re quite hurt by the basis of my argument, which is that telling someone to update to iOS 5 and pretending that there is proof that it can be done: is “time wasting”. You know that is true, right?!

            Inside, you know.

            Face that truth.

            I’m sorry for making you upset.

            And I do take back the comments about being a cleaner, that is unfair and I seriously take them back.

            Nobody needs 3 iPads, no, I use 1 personally and 2 are test units for apps that sync peer-to-peer and through the cloud.

            So perhaps the truth is “I have 2 for my job, and use 1 myself”

            Sometimes I do use a 2nd one as a reader, or reference to something like iOS based project management software like inShort or iThoughts when I’m mind mapping.

        Dude, I am obviously not the same person.  I do not know how to prove that to you.  But, I could tell you that I have no idea who phonesreview is.

    2. phonesreview says:

      hey toof, nice to meet you!

      I’m English+Yugoslav/German born in Melbourne, Australia :)I assure you that toof hurty and I are not the same person, but have no idea how or why we can prove it…

  76. Hmmm says:

    Alright so. This is getting ridiculous. I don’t understand why you would post on this if you’re not talking about the iOS 5. Stop please. Thanks!

    1. phonesreview says:

      A lot of these posts are actually a fight with a guy who is posting misinformation about how to get iOS 5 early.

      We’re trying to stop his message from wasting people’s time as they try early.

      Just wait — it’ll be available when your copy of iTunes 10.5 says it is :) 

  80. Mrfangt says:

    I tried 3 times did not work from instuctions under these freaks comments, i took cmos battery out and put it back in and it worked thanks mr ben!!!!!!

  81. Mrs Jessicaayres says:

    I would fall under “most people” haha and I actually successfully jail broke my phone and changed the colors but it seemed like too much just to get the ugly green off so I went back to stock.

  82. Mike Ruffner says:

    I agree with the 10am pacific/1pm eastern rule of thumb.  However, in the past (twice) I’ve updated after midnight.  Some sort of “selection” to relieve server pressure?  A thrice would be nice!!

    1. phonesreview says:

      hehe

      Ironically, at some point it’s going to be released and we’re going to be so busy telling people it’s not actually available yet that we’ll miss it ourselves!

      But hey, I will forever remember the hours leading up to the release of iOS 5!!!

      Great to share the hilarious experience with you Mr Hurty 🙂

    iPad 3 and iPhone 5 could have MagSafe chargers

    By Luke Westaway on 18 August 2011, 1:12pm

    Alert me

    Mobile Phones

    Apple could be working on squeezing its MagSafe charging tech into future mobile gadgets, according to a patent that Jobs and co have been awarded.
    The diagram above shows how Apple would squeeze its magnetic power supply into a device like an iPad — perhaps the iPad 3. It looks like the charging port could jut out diagonally from the gadget in question.
    MagSafe reduces the risk of accidentally sending your stuff flying across the room, if you accidentally yank on its power cord.
    We’d
    welcome the addition of this charging port, not just because it could
    save us a trip to the tech doctor, but because we’re rather averse to
    the 30-pin connector port that currently adorns every iPad, iPod and iPhone. Despite having about a million of them in the office, somehow we can never find one

  114. JOHNt says:

    Apple will eventually get rid of the 30pin connector , so the mag safe power is likely.

    No parts to ware, more space for other things, or smaller device. Smart idea.

  115. LacyChabert says:

    Another satisfied customer! lmao                       The “experts” below don’t know nothing thank you bengert,       every body for the instructions look below the 3 freaks 100 love comments.

  116. JOHNt says:

    Asus is keeping all its bases covered by offering a variety of
    different tablet options, and waiting to see what people buy. The Eee
    Pad Transformer comes with a keyboard dock and the whole package costs
    just £429 – a veritable bargain. Definitely the best Android tablet of
    the current crop.

  117. JOHNt says:

    as an out-and-out tablet, the Galaxy Tab 10.1 is currently unrivalled.
    It matches the performance of the other Honeycomb Tegra 2-based tablets
    while beating the pants off them in the portability stakes. This tablet
    is the lightest and thinnest 10-inch tablet in the world – and yep that
    includes the iPad 2. So unless that keyboard dock above is a serious
    draw for you, this is currently the one to watch.

  118. JOHNt says:

    The new Galaxy Tab 10.1V is a real corker. It’s a good size, it’s
    powerful, responsive, lightweight and has an excellent 8MP camera. Not
    to be confused with Samsung’s forthcoming similarly-named Samsung Galaxy
    Tab 10.1 – this one is a Vodafone exclusive product and will hit the
    shelves this summer.

  119. JOHNt says:

    The Motorola Xoom is one of the second-generation Android tablets that
    the tech world is getting very excited about. Packing Nvidia’s
    super-powerful Tegra 2 chip and running the tablet-friendly Android 3.0
    OS, the Xoom is going to be big.

  120. JOHNt says:

    he BlackBerry PlayBook is designed to be mobile and business-friendly.
    That means, at 130x194mm, the device is small enough to hold with one
    hand, slip in a laptop bag side pouch, and even carry around all day to
    meetings. The problem’s start, though, with the lack of an email app,
    the dependence on owning a BlackBerry smartphone and a terminal lack of
    apps. The Playbook is powerful and has brilliant multitasking
    capabilities, but for now it’s one to watch rather than one to buy.

  121. JOHNt says:

    After months of speculation, the Amazon Kindle Fire
    has been officially announced at an event in New York, marking the
    first time the company has entered the tablet market proper. The
    successor to the Amazon Kindle is a 7-inch device that comes with
    Android, albeit a version that has been heavily altered by Amazon to
    make the best use of the company’s e-shopping spine. The screen is an
    IPS display that’s made from Gorilla Glass, it houses dual-core
    processor, and weighs in at 14.6 ounces. There is a tablet-optimised
    shopping app on board – this is said to comprise simplified and
    streamlined pages, so it is easier to buy stuff on than the actual
    Amazon website.

        1. Bassdrummer says:

          Zeron, me too.

          This is what I don’t like about Apple.

          They feel because they have a leg up in the industry they can just leave things hanging the balance.  Where is the respect for people like us?

          They can’t even post a time?

          We should just wait until tomorrow?

    “For Windows customers, Microsoft is using the Windows Certification
    program to ensure that systems shipping with Windows 8 have secure boot

    Apple,

    What have we done to deserve this?

    Why can we not get a launch time?

    Specific time(s)?

    A one sentence instruction stating:

    “If you want to get it at midnight.. **** you..”

    Why, guys?

    Why so serious?

            Molecular Biology exam in the morning, and I stayed up until now to not get a midnight download! FML!

        Hahaha. Well I’m just too excited. As a Camera Whore, my favorite part right now is the Lock Screen camera access… But I’m not sure if that will change once I actually HAVE it.

        $700 on iPhone.

        $2000 on Mac.

        $2000 on Macbook Elite.

        $400 on Apple TV

        $200 on iPod Nano

        No iOS 5 Midnight Launch.

        ..

        Face down, *** up.

        Rape.

            I just spent over 5K on Apple products in the last 90 days.

            Whatever what broski?

            All I’m saying is give me 5.0 at a reasonable time frame.

            They owe it to us, no?

          2. Ryangoesrawrer says:

    Why does everyone think it’s coming out in 2 hours? I mean, I’m glad if it does, but no one from apple has said so, and even this article says it’s probably not going to be out for another 12 hours or so

            I’m going to stay up just in case they release it at midnight, but I’m not getting my hopes up lol

            Haha. Same here. I feel like I need iOS 5 to live. I’ve felt this way since last year when it was first announced.

    I love how the rumor mill was all “ALL THESE THINGS ARE GONNA BE IN THE IPHONE 5!” and then they were all wrong, then they acted like Apple was the one who screwed up.

    Man, I’m gonna go look at the line at the Apple store on Friday, just to see how many crazy people are there. The line was so long for the iPad 2 launch that there were news helicopters overhead lol

    I just got a call form a friend that works in Apple. It will be at midnight in Hawaii. That means 4 hours. Good night everybody and have iOS 5 dreams!

            u knw what, i checked last night, itunes update was available as soon as the blue corner tag on their website was removed..   so keep an eye over that blue coming soon tag at the corner and u might become the first one to get the ios 5 update

          2. Anonymous says:

            Maybe. It’s quicker to click the update button than to reload their website though lol

    News: My friend in Apple said that they got a notice saying: ” iOS Update, 10/12/2011 @ 00:01 in Heaven time, Sincerely, Steve PS: Be patient, Jesus is waiting as you are”

        no, its not that  big of a burdain for the processor but the only reason they put it in only 4s, is to make it even more worthy..   guys they had to make 4s different than 4..
