iOS 5 public problems and discussions
Wonder how many of you are not at work; are you at work or at home waiting for the iOS 5 to release? Today is a very big day because the new iOS 5 will go live at some point, and when it does we want to be here for you.
We have decided to start our very on dedicated iOS 5 public problems and discussion page, this is a place where all iOS 5 downloader’s can come and discuss anything iOS 5.
Millions will be updating their Apple devices today via iTunes, you may have questions, problems or maybe answers for other readers you would like to discuss. We want this to be one of the popular pages to come to and make it a community base for you all.
We get many thousands of emails a day asking about the new iOS 5, so it makes sense to set up a page for all to lounge in.
If you have a question, or a problem with iOS 5 once it goes live, or maybe you have updated via iTunes and it went smoothly, we want to know all as so do other readers. Get the discussions rolling and head on down to the commenting area below; let’s make this the place to be for iOS 5 public problems and discussions.

What time is ios 5 coming out in the uk?
download the gm master which is available no need to wait
the what?
the GM means Golden Master and this is the final release beta for devs… i got all of them and its quite the same thing as the official ios 5. but rather wait cuz its kinda hard for an starter to without an dev account to get the gm working
I might be wrong but I heard 10am US time, so 4-5pm UK time
ok 4 – 5, thanks
what time ios 5 will be released in India
At 12th October 2011, 10.30pm.
I waiting for ios5 in germany the whole morning…
Please Apple, let’s start it now… i can’t wait !!!!
what time ios 5 will be released in Spain ????
same as UK
been up since 8 am as heard it was due to come out at 10am… still nothing. By the way, BE SURE TO UPDATE YOUR ITUNES TO 10.5 or no IOS5 guys!!!!
Its 9pm here in Australia on the 12th of October and i don’t think it will be coming out here until around 1am in the morning on the 13th
3:01 am here in California… nothing yet…
I also have the GM. Â To me, it feels snappier. Â No lag on the 4. Â iOS 5 gives the user the ability to manage more of your apps on the phone. Â Reminders are pretty decent. Â I love the fact you are now able to change your sounds for everything your phone does. Â Tweets, ringtones, and messages of any type. Â
It will take a little longer to understand the sync without the cord, but all things aside this update is very good.
How did you get the GM to install ?
Has anyone been able to download ios5 yet in the uk
Yea Ive got itÂ
Ive got it, had it for days, its goodÂ
howÂ
He’s lying… unless he has the Beta Version for Developers!
rhis question is asking if anyone has the official release not a beta
on aserious note why hasent IOS 5 released yet
6:43am in NY…no iOS5 yet….
Been waiting since 5:30 in NY
I read on another site we have to wait till after 10 here…
im also gonna update asap downloaded  the new itunes 10.5 before the server goes crazy installing it nowÂ
-INDIA
its totally surprising what apple has gotten all of us to do…check for an update early in the morning or late in the night! 6-7 years ago I doubt any of us would have done this!
yeah!
still no update as of 7:29 AM in NY
ppl in australia have been waiting 12hrs+ so now it looks like we are going to be the last to get the update 🙁 7:34pm here 12th of october
Yes, it sucks! I agree with you… 🙁
Still no update here in TN @ 7:32a
who was this keen for ios4 last year?? i remember just syncing and clicking a notification for an update
13.33 CET (Paris) not release yet
Here I sit, like everyone else, hovering over my iTunes ‘check for updates’ button, and I don’t know why. It’s as if I have been brainwashed. I have tons of urgent stuff to do, and I’m not doing it; Instead, I’m waiting for the new operating system for my phone. I don’t need the new operating system – at least – not right now at this instant. The ‘old’ operating system, is perfectly good. And after all this waiting, when I do get the new OS, I know I will blow away the whole day messing about with it. Makes no sense.
Great post 🙂 there must be 1000’s of us all over the world doing the same thing
Although I am leaving it till tomorrow now, kicking the habit !!!!
The power of Apple
Apple updates for large items are usually set for pacific standard time. So if you are on the east coast, you will have to wait till 1 pm and so on. That is the way it has always been. Find what time 1pm pacific standard and then you will know your update time.

Guyz please tell me that itunes 10.5 latest which is available on apple site is sufficient for ios 5 upgrade or something else is required.
iTunes 10.5 should be fine mate.

update to itunes 10.5 and sit tight… ios 5 will be available in just a couple more hours.
i believe 10.3.1 is even sufficient to run iOS5

you need itunes 10.5
YES I ALREADY UPDATED MY ITUNES TO 10.5
Just need to wait for ios5 to go live less than two hours three for some
gotta explain why 3 hours for some… The answer: because some places of the world don’t use Daylight Savings Time. California does, so they are one hour later than other parts of the world. Confused yet?
This version of the iPhone software (4.3.5) is [still] the current version.
10:17AM Atlanta, GA EDST

Siri is exclusive to the new iPhone 4S only… hence, will NOT work on any older iphone, including the iPhone 4 and 3GS, etc…

going live!
the download to start
4.3.5 is the current version for me in the UK at 15:45….
im looking forward to the new notifications
they are taking the proverbial
What is a proverbial??
Apple is checking itunes for correct versions so will being going live soon
sweet lol
How do you know this!!? lolÂ
Nice I hope so. I’m ready.
Yeah, how do you know this?? And what does this mean “Apple is checking itunes for correct versions”?
on my ipad two it says updat will be ready for the 18th ????? 😛
thats just the next time itunes will look for an update that doesnt mean its going to come out then… but yea mines says the same
ohh thank you 😛
does it not say “itunes will automatically check for an update on the 18th”?
why is it apple dont have a midnight realse like everyone else
still saying 4.3.5 ;p
There should be an app to let users know when the new update is out so we don’t have to wait by the computers
Mine says 19th lol, i know i know its need to keep pressing check for updates 😀
Just wait 55mins and it will be live
so much for soon
its 21:06 , no news yet . INDIA
still nothing in london… a shame.
How much friggin’ longer!!! 🙁
53mins
52mins
Jeezz lads I know we all want the update but come on the tone is getting a bit desperate, after all it’s only a update to a Errr PHONEÂ
Paul says Apple are currently checking iTunes versions, it’s going to take a bit of time to get round to everyones houses.
LoL trust me 50mins or less
how do you know this for sure?
Still noting here in Durham
eastcoast fl nothing yet
ill only have ios5 for a few days (when it finally arrives) HTC Sensation XE FTW 😀
whos paul and how do you know??
Others reckon 18:00 BST, what makes you so sure it’s going to be 17:00 boyo?
hahahaÂ
really apple got our minds of the hook
damn we all ve been waiting but the truth apple should be more precise about the dateÂ
Apple only release updates in there time zone which will be 9am there time it will go live there and than follow for everone
can’t help but feel this isn;t going to be worth the hype – particularly on a 3G
not compatable on a 3G, only 3GS or higher
Notes will be good though..
and the iCloud
and the newstand
Ohh, maybe it is worth the hype
i ve searched other websites and in italy for some reason they r able to download ios 5Â
if thats true and here someone from italyÂ
please confirm this info
since we are all waiting
lets ask questions and kill time, i ve a jealbroken iphoneÂ
and i wanna update it to the last ios
is all what i ve to do is to restore and update ??
yep
there will most likely not be a jailbreak for ios5 for quite some time. And besides, most things you can do with cydia, you can do with the new ios5 anyway.
if you want a jailbroken iphone, you might as well leave it the way it is.
Just hook it up to the computer and it will update  Your phone will no longer be jail broken though…
Why would apple let italy download first usa first the rest follow
its 6:16 pm in Saudi Arabia and its not out yet
but if its like any other version of ios then it ll be out in 2 hours and 41 mins exactly
I would unjailbreak and check out the new features in ios5 and than you can jailbreak later on
where are you getting all your info paul?
other than it being released, what is everyone looking forward to most about iOS 5
i guess apple wanna teach the whole world the importance of patience 😀
waiting……… waiting…….. and still waiting….. but showing in itunes 4.3.5 is the current version and time is 8:50pm in india
we will be kicked off here talking about jailbreak
or maybe there is a problem with downloading the ios5 in their servers and they cant find steve jobs anymoreÂ
so i guess they are heading to his grave for some spiritual intel 😀
see Paul itsn’t about the country, they are servers for each country and depending on which ones they download the software, it’ll be available for all
so, how do i use icloud??
Yes your right But Apple made in California so they get it first
designed in california, MADE IN CHINA 😀
why does my iphone say it is up to date with version 4.2.1? it is a verizon iphone if that means anything different. I just thought it’d be 4.3.5
Â
Did you jailbreak it? What model iPhone is it?
nope. regular iphone 4.
Â
Weird. Try restoring the iPhone completely with iTunes. Put the phone into DFU mode (Don’t forget to back up first) and restore it to default settings. iTunes should automatically update it to 4.3.5 unless iOS 5 came out already and it will update to that.
i’m just gonna wait till ios 5 is released and try and update it then. if that doesnt work then i’ll restore it
Sure. Go ahead. Good luck with the update 🙂
version 4.2.10 is the current up to date version of iOS for the CDMA (verizon) iPhone.
check you have the right version of itunes if you have you will have to restore it to factory settings
How do you check for the version of itunes?
click in about in itunes top left of itunes
on wht time ios 5 will release in india?????????
around 10:30 pm
thanx for telling sanam now going 2 wait 4 10:30pm let c………..
I have it!!!!
theres 2 L’s in Troll 😛
what do you have ?
where you at?
This version of the iPhone software (4.3.5) is the current version.
I just seen a video where someone said it wasnt gonna get released until 1PM today
1 pm in what time zone?
im not sure i just youtubed ios 5 and some dude had something up saying its coming up at 1PM :/
As if you didn’t know that it would take so long 😀
EST
1pm ? no way
i kno im hoping its not true
paul , how much time left ?
Update:Â the update is expected to become available at 1800 BST on 12 October
BST????
British Summer Time, which is an odd timezone to select 🙂
? Not when I live Britain.Â
The reasoning behind this time is that Apple historically have released updates at 10am Pacific Time US – which is 18:00 BST
If all goes well with apple server icloud 20mins time
thanks for the update . hope so you are right
The best estimation is that everyone will get the release sometime after 18:00 BST, or after the next 80mins,
or 4,800 seconds
BST = British Summer Time = GMT +1
Time depends if Apple go live everywhere at once I think the server would crash we can only see but it will be live in usa in 14 mins
3.0 and 4.0 came out in the philippines at the same time as my cousin in San Francisco but I guess there were less users then.
lol, can picture a PC under somebodies desk servicing the world – I reckon they might have servers around the world
Ehen Comes out europe
5 mins…..hopefully
My money is on 65 mins – happy to be proved wrong.
What if it doesnt come out in 5 mins
ill cry
Your shout
JayJay buys us all a drink
when does come out in canada?
in 60 mins
NG
WE ARE LIVE
like this web page said 10:00 pacific timeÂ
Nothing as of 12:01 pm  EST
Think 19 oglock it Comes out
and 58 mins to go
Alright the German Server also spits out an error message, looks like they’re doing the final preperations
Is it live?
not yet…
Nooo… need to leave for work. This means not iOS5 until tonight … =(
im goin to bed so no iOS 5 till morning =(
I hope I’m not the only one sitting at my computer at 9am pressing the “Check for Update” button repeatedly…Â
Cant… wait… any… longer…
You are definitely not alone…
This message: “This version of the iPhone software (4.3.5) is the current version.” officially gets me angry >:(
Pressing it repeatedly is pointless, just shut off itunes and do something else and then start it in like 30 minutes, if your phone is plugged in it will inform you right away if ios 5 is there
hahahah dr. poopenstein
try 3 am 13th oct
Great servers chashed already lol.
anyone downloaded IO5 yet?
Yes I do
Where you from james
is it live yet?
Nope…
i should just go to bed after a long disappointing day i anticipated so much for apple i hope you guys are enjoying your troll
not released in netherlands yet, i expect it 19:00 local time
agreed
nothing yet in central time usa
I believe it will be 10:00am Pacific time
iCloud is expected to launch today (Wed, October 12th) alongside iOS 5 and Mac OS X 10.7.2. Apple released iTunes 10.5
on Tuesday in preparation. We don’t expect iOS 5 to actually be
released until later in the day. Apple has historically released their
major iOS updates around 1pm eastern time.
icloud is already available in Germany
once its downloaded, im sure there will be thousands of people wishing they never bothered !
doubt it somehow, if everything does what it says on the tin then this should be worth the wait…!!
Yeah right, keep thinking that and why are you here if you don’t want it? Waiting to jump on someone? Peace.
I think it will be released at 13.00 est…what do you all think ?!
yeah mee tooo
WOOOOOHOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
its not out ._.
Update: the update is expected to become available at 1800 BST on 12 October
34 more mins guys
Just got it to download! You have to be on your home network on your original Mac, they are not releasing to Windows based machines for 30 days, as per Apple…
WTF
really? where did u see that?
I got mine too!!! Â Although I had to use my home Mac and it wouldn’t work on my DELL PC????? Â 30 day wait time………..WTF????
I`m hoping there wil be a fix for the last update which has stopped my ipad from connecting to my wifi…( it connected perfectly for a year before the last update)Â
but I have a windows PC… so.. no new update for 30 days…?
oh no…..!!!!
**ignore**
You got IOS 5 to download? Where do you live we’re on the East Coast.
I have a MAC you lie B1tch.
its 11:30 am dallas tx still dont see the new update! blahhhh
@b9aa672fb4f0cd41d62fe361b0c648ff:disqus I don’t think that’s right! It just sounds wrong. Also, they stated that they will release it for Mac AND Windows on 12 October, plus that iOS is not software for computers, its for your iDevice, so it makes completely no sense.
@b9aa672fb4f0cd41d62fe361b0c648ff:disqus you are wrong i checked with my mac pc still no updates. and @facebook-100000334677937:disqus is correct about the announcement.Â
With everyone anxiously waiting for the update, how long do you think it will actually take to apply it to the phone?
About 24 hours, probably.
Estimated time: OVER 9000!
what time does it launch in Toronto?
Site says 1 P your time
Alright Thank You bro
Not long now 6pm uk time
Does anyone know if the update will come up if you have the ios 5 gm seed
I’m hoping I’ll be able to do an OTA update from the iOS5 GM version, would be cool to test out that functionality.
anyone know when it comes out for Massachusetts?
1 P Eastern
thank you =)
1pm eastern ,12 central, 11 mountain, 10 Pacific

If you’ve had your iphone connected to iTunes, you should disconnect it first then re-connect… let it back up, sync, and then check for update. Viola!
Got it at 12:58 est
how come some places are and others not
maybe something to do with not having to many people updating at the same time, just a guess though

Started the download 12 minutes ago and now it’s done. Happy iOS 5 day to all!
Download time keeps getting longer. Up to 60+ mins now. Is this just the way it is because so many people are downloading, or is there another way?
Updating… In Hong Kong

For those who have it, does it seem to be working good or are there problems and glitches?Â
Mine is 23 minutes remaining and going up!!!! UK!!
Try pause all and then resume in the downloads section, I had the same problem.
umm no? it started mine over when i paused then resumedÂ
How much time was reduced?
Finally updating in uk! Didn’t like the warning that all iTunes purchases etc will be wiped
661 if 774 , 35 minutes so far
 downloaded software (in NY). took about 30mins on work’s bandwidth, so could be slow for others.
now restoring phone etc.
not sure about the “wiping of iTunes apps” m,essage i saw though…
its available in almost all of america. just update itunes to update
the time keeps going up, but i am glad it is working. I am getting the new iphone friday, but i still want to update my old iphone.
haha – ditto!
ce l’ha nel culo!
NOT ABLE TO DOWNLOAD IN INDIA :(Â
SERVERS ARE SLOW
Downloaded well and when it updated it restored factory settings. Still in restore iPhone apps mode. Not sure what happened.
Mine is doing the same thing!!!!!!!!!!!!!
all is quiet as we await those downloads, back-ups and installs to complete….Â
Just times out, had to restart
how is everyone getting on in the uk?!?!
UK Download is having problems, keep getting the timeout message. Had to restart it twice
it has been saying 57 minutes for the past 15 minutes!!!
If you have a long download wait, stop it and start over, just downloaded in 4 min.
For those who have it, does it seem to be working good or are there problems and glitches?
Also would like to know before i update as mine is 2 mins from downloading.
Mine has timed out after hitting 200MB 4 times now… UK
been downloading for 45 mins already, still saying 37 mins to go..
(forgot to say – am in the UK)
Same here! I am due to leave work in an hour dont think i will get out on time!!!
Downloading now. NYC, iTunes estimates 18 minutes.
iTunes is just telling me that “the network connection could not be established”. Anyone know what to do?
im having the same issue….thinking the server is just backed up…i dont know for sure
took about 45 minutes for the download, it is updating now
Paris downloaded started @ 19.26 finished in 20 minutes installed in 15. It’s AWESOME!!!!
My phone is doing so crazy things!!!!
here’s my deal: downloaded the software in about 30mins. another 10mins or so to install, and restore the backup etc.
I am at work, so all apps, music, pics etc are on my laptop at home. so when it restarted, all those items are gone, and i’ll need to resync when i get home.
initial thoughts? dont see the iMessage anywhere (yet!)…i’m hoping this isnt like Facetime where it only works if on a wi-fi network?
oh, and I am in NY
Download Memphis TN took about 20 minutes, installing now…….
Halifax. NS took 5 mins to download and installing now
37 minutes but I have to go work in 15 minutes 😐 I will have to hold off till tonight..Â
Cant wait tho!
Mine froze at backing up set there were errors now it is saying it is restoring Iphone firmware…Lovely! Â I hope this didn’t mess up my phone. Â Anyone else having these issues?
it’s cumming hard
I downloaded ios5. It backed up my device and then it gave me an error.
This device isn’t eligible for the requested build.
 I have an iPhone 4 on 4.3.5 tethered jailbreak. What gives? Thanks to anyone.
first arrest that convict, throw the shackles back on, and put it back in JAIL!!
Does this chat room double as a meth-house?
I ran into the same issue: Jaibroken iPhone 4 4.3.5 with the same error message, but I resolved the problem.
First I restored on 4.3.5 and then I updated it.Â
Where can I find a “clean” file of 4.3.5? Thanks a lot.
I posted the URL, but it has to be moderated, so may not show for a while. Just go to apple, then click on “Support,” then search on “ios 4.3.5”
Thanks ABQ. downloading now. DO you think it could have something to do with my host files?
Anyone have ideas? I seem to be the only person in the wide world with this problem.
You can’t update a Jail Broken device …. Restore it to the original settings, then update it, then get the IOS 5 Jailbreak if you need it.
Eh, thats not true. YOu can update, the jailbreak is just wiped off by the update. It takes out the partition. I tried restoring and it still gave me the iphone isnt eligible for requested build. I have no idea what’s going on.
I’d revert it back to factory settings and firmware and try the update again.
Went through a series of restores, then had me page through the license agreement, itunes login, blah blah blah. It rhen started syncing all my apps. Still going.
Same here…taking a long time to RESTORE APPS
Keeps timing out. Is network getting overloaded??
Yes.
keep getting the message “network connection could not be established” does this mean the server is backed up and i cant connect?
From the UK started downloading  at 18:08 – got to gone half way and 35 mins to go at 18:40 and then it said network connection timed out. Clicked to start again and tried the whole pausing and resuming and it just started again but is even slower now!!
In Vancouver, Canada. I’m on my second try now. The first time I was able to download the package but when it was trying to either validate the files or unpack everything it failed.
FYI, if I “pause” the download and then “un-pause” it, all the progress is lost and the download restarts back at 0MB…
Very strange.
Now it is saying restoring to factory settings…WTH!
i keep getting to about 400 mb out of 700.3 mb and then it fails and i have to start again
My iPad has 42 gb of audio, video, photos and apps and has been backing up for over an hour after the download…Â should I keep waiting or abort and start over…
Keep waiting!
my iPhone has a similar backup scenario. I have been backing up for nearly 30 mins and I only have a iPhone 4 16gb
updating finally in Saudi arabia as im writing right now
Says it is restoring iPhone music and videos… We will see. It was empty on the last reboot. Also, FB does not work. Am going to reinstall.
Better to download ios5 from apple website support iphone4 downloads
put up link plz
download keeps failing.
mine is taking me through a whole restore also (ipad2), dont know it the ios5 took or not yet
network connection keeps timing out!Â
Can’t get a full download through, I am on my fifth attempt now ):
Never reached more than 550 MB, often fails before that. It also delivers slightly slower than my traditional badnwidth speed (I should get about 1.6 MB/s, I got more around 900 kb/s).
I’m in DenmarkÂ
im getting the same problem, does anone have a solution to this? im in england if that makes any difference
Download took about 10 minutes, no problems. When I try to install however Itunes says:
Cannot be restored, an unkwon failure has taken place (in dutch, pardon my french).
Anybody else who has this problem?
Anyone got it working yet? Is iMessage there as I’ve heard reports it’s missing.
I’m missing my imessage, anyone else having this problem? 🙁
imessage is automatic.
You need to send an sms to another ios5 user and it will change to an iMessage

Have downloaded iOS 5 with no problems. When I try to install the software onto iPhone 4 it says that it’s restoring then I’m greeted with ‘The iPhone ‘Gavin’s iPhone’ could not be restored. An internal error occured’ I’m not sure if this is because Apple have obviously been inundated with millions of people trying to get iOS 5. Anyone else seeing the same error message?
Getting the same problem
same thing
same thing
Okay thank you all for the replies. I guess we’ll just have to wait it out until some of the traffic dies down!
Me too!
Same problem here
im getting the same problem. dont know what to do
me!
Gavin, I’ve had exactly the same error on both my iPhone & iPad
Same here. On third attempt
Make sure you are using a genuine Apple sync cable
Me 2 have you managed to get it working yet???
Same problem after four attempts…
i am getting the same thing
yup… i keep getting the same error message. i think i’m on attempt 4.
started downloading at 18.08 uk and got to 600mb downloaded at 19:37Â then timed out 🙁
it’s now whizzing through the download with 10 min left 🙂
downloaded the update….. eventually finished after timing out several times.
Trying to do update but backup starts then just stops without any warning. On third try now
ok it’s backed up successfully, now extracting software, then I get Iphone could not be restored. Unknown error occurred(3200) Great. does not appear to have messed up phone.
First time trying to download I got an error message and now I have to go somewhere so I’ll have to try again later.
I attempted to download on my Wi-Fi, but that failed. Then I plugged in wired and it downloaded ok.
However, it now says “Restoring iPhone apps” on iTunes but my actual iPhone is stuck in a loop whilst it’s doing that. Anyone else had this problem.. And did you just let it carry on? Thanks.
It happened to me too… unplug it, and then plug it back in… itunes will tell you it failed, but just hit continue. Worked for me.
I admire and appreciate you folks on the bleeding edge! Waiting until the weekend, but avidly following your experiences….
I keep getting error messages: “iPad cannot be restored.”
A bit of advice here. If you are using a longer USB cable or one that is not an original Apple cable then do not try this update till you can find, buy or borrow and original one. I have seen updates fail on many iPhones and iPads due to flakey cables………Good luck all ……
I keep getting a message stating that my software is up to date at 4.2.1. I did the iTunes upgrade and rebooted twice and still can’t get iTunes to give 5 as an option. 🙁
Make sure you have iTunes 10.5…..My iTunes wouldn’t update so I had to go to apple directly & download iTunes from there. Hope it helps
Connect iPhone to computer
Go into iTunes
Help>Upgrades
It will tell you your iTunes version then a note will appear about IOS 5 asking if you want to download and install or just download. (Judging by the comments I chose to download only for now. Took 30 minutes.)
Same problems, lost all my pictures
in uk, download started at 18:05, took 1hr15, unpacked fine, various messages in itunes about restoring firmware, factory settings, etc, phone rebooted a couple of times, then a black screen with iPhone across the top appeared. Itunes then prompted for password to backup file before restoring. itunes pop-up stating phone restored, but says phone is empty! iphone starts asking questions about location services, apple account, icloud signup – phone contains no apps or music, but has text messages, email, contacts. Â Cant see imessage anywhere…..
I have even internal errors:(
I have same internal error
has anyone actually successfully downloaded it? i keep getting an unknown error.
Why is it not working mmmm
Error 3200 every time I try to install software which is a validation with the Apple server!!!
successfully installed and doing the last few set-up options – now I can’t get past the find my iphone screen – if i tick find it and press next nothing happens, if i tick dont find it then next nothing happens, i can go all the way back and go through again but still cant progress!Â
if i press menu button then it gives me option to start again but then to do that i have to press a button which says erase iphone! any ideas?
I have gotten two errors. First it was error 3194 then it was error 3200. My phone has never been jailbroken. Please help!
Mine has never been jailbroken either and I got the 3200 error too.
