There's a 64-bit version of iTunes 10.5 beta available from https://developer.apple.com/icloud/downloads/

In what way?

it would completely freeze up.
Ive had the max volume decrease by 70% meaning I had to reboot the phone. Ipod jumpy and crashes out.
apps crashing
incredibly awful battery performance. Should win awards for how bad esp with icloud active but even without.

Sorry but if you use your phone a lot I would steer well clear of ios5. Besides to be honest I think its the finer refinements are better than the major features. Jailbroke 4.3.3 is still miles better.

ive downgraded and now when I reboot the device it stays on the black screen with the apple logo on it.
I have to run redsnow and choose boot tethered to get it out of it.

Any ideas why it keeps doing this?

Baseband perhaps?

I downgraded from DFU mode and I didn't have that problem.

Only issue I had was forgetting to try DFU first and I also had to downgrade iTunes.

What is the baseband reported when its booted? I did a DFU downgrade from iOS5 to 4.3.3 and it downgraded the baseband for me fine

I did mine with the iTunes 10.5 beta and no issues, completely forgot about it to be honest

Nevermind my mistake. Seems I used RC14 to jailbreak instead of RC16 which is untethered. Musta deleted it and I used an older version on my last attempt. Running with Redsnow RC16 now.

Heres a question. I hate browsing the Cydia database from the iphone. I think its long overdue for a performance overhawl. Is it possible to browse it from the mac and choose your installs from the mac?

PaulyD · 15 Jun 2011 at 16:43

Not that I know of otherwise I would imagine a lot of other people would already be raving about it.

Glad you got the JB sorted

Well there you have it a 64 bit version, shame I don't have a developers account.

EDIT: Has anyone got their contacts pushed to the cloud properly? I can't seem to get them from the iPhone to iCloud.

EDIT: flying_V I have emailed you with another UDID if possible.

Its fine, doesn't require much effort.

If you want to donate you can help me raise funds for Scope for the Royal Parks half marathon i'll be running in October! Then, everyone's a winner. Sorry everyone, will try not to derail the thread - back to iOS 5

If this is anything to go by we're in for a treat!

Deleted member 77746 · 16 Jun 2011 at 22:52

@Deku that has been slighty speeded up... but that was announced at WWDC!! I can't wait to be honest till the release.

Banny · 21 Jun 2011 at 18:14

I dont have a developers account but sure would like a play with it.

In iOS 5.0 beta 2, wireless syncing is now available for the Mac. It requires iTunes 10.5 beta 2 and OS X 10.6.8 or Lion. You will see an option to enable wireless syncing when you connect your device to iTunes with the USB cable. It is recommended you perform your initial sync with a cable after restoring your device.

Wireless syncing is triggered automatically when the device is connected to power and on the same network as the paired computer. Or, you can manually trigger a sync from iTunes or from Settings -> General -> iTunes Sync (same network as paired computer required). Be sure your device is plugged into a power source when performing Wireless syncs.
If you find issues with apps, media and/or photos synced to your device, you can reset then resync. From Settings -> General -> Reset, choose Erase all Content and Settings. Then reconnect to iTunes and sync again.

In this beta, iTunes may incorrectly report Photos as "Other" in the capacity bar. Photo syncing otherwise works as expected.
