Location based reminders not available on the 3GS?

Stick with it, mine has just managed to complete the update. Took a few extra hurdles I didn't remember from last time, and it lost all my music, but then mine is set to 'Manually manage music and videos'. Had to sync a time or two before all the apps came back, then a bit of fiddling to get the screens set up as I wanted them, but looks to have finished now.

it's gone, they replaced it with tabs.

Grrrrrr I want the other thing back... Much better

Does anyone know how to go about deleting the account entirely?

You can sign out, and I think you can delete each individual data set (backup, email, etc.), but there doesn't appear to be a way to blanket delete the lot.

Recboot is your friend!

Even better - I'd forgotten about that tool.

Updated no problems

Just sorting out my iCloud shizzle now

This verifying issue (Error 3200) would go a frickin ton faster if it processed the back up of the iphone away from the verify!!! Seems pretty stupid to lock them into each other in my view.

The people having problems are on Windows or OSX?

Easy way around that is to back up manually then DFU/recboot the device. There will be no backup to make, so you just have to worry about the error 3200 (which I never got doing it this way).

My PC seems to crash when backing up my phone??

Grrrrr....

 

[Chandler_90]

Had to restore to factory settings to get it to update :\

The wee bugger managed to install at last, so at least that bit is over. Now to see what it looses in the restore of the backup

all up and running, however:-

1 - wifi sync, how do you get this to work? it is plugged into a power cable (not iMac) and on wifi, but why isn't the SYNC NOW button available?

2 - iMessage.....how do I send someone a message on there?

Anyone tried out real racing 2 on airplay? Seems to run particularly slowly, nigh on unplayable...

Update ipad 2 today.

Broswer has change to tabbed. Thats fine, but where is the button where you get to see all the pages as thumbnails gone?

Gone....replaced with tabs

 

[Somnambulist]

For Wifi sync make sure you've ticked the box in iTunes.

 

[theipodkid]

Just wondering something. If I update my ipod touch dose that mean most of the apps won't work until they are updated for ios 5? Also is it worth the upgrade yet or is it best to wait until bugs and stuff are fixed?

Thanks.

iMessage is built into the messaging app

If you send somebody a message who is on Ios 5 the message should show up as blue denoting its an iMessage one rather than SMS which is green.

Managed to fix the purchased items sync by manually deselecting all the items, syncing to remove them even though they weren't actually there. Then selecting sync all again. Bit of a pain in the ass but seems to be working fine now.
