The iOS 5 Thread

This is fairly frustrating lol

I've downloaded both the iPad and iPhone versions which have both been pretty quick <20 mins even on a fairly crap connection, but it can't verify on Apple's servers for Toffee.

I'm doing a bit of work in the background so will keep trying, if not will give it a whirl in the morning before work.

Impressed with the iCloud services and new iOS5 features.
Good update for the Apple TV also.

Roll on Friday now

Wait until tomorrow morning, the whole world and his dog is trying to update.

You know, I completly forgot about the ATV. What's been added/changed?

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

Stuck with 3200 error, anyone know the cause? Is it anything to do with the sheer number of people downloading iOS5?

I downloaded the update under 5 mins, go through the backup and extracting software stage then hit with 3200!!! guess I am not only one...

Jimmy1983 · 12 Oct 2011 at 23:49

Seems to be some credence to that.

I'm just going to wait and do it at the weekend when the servers are quieter. I don't think iOS5 has anything I desperately NEED tonight!

Oooh, can't quite believe it, it's finally restoring my iPhone with iOS 5... fingers crossed it doesn't fail.

Tried ATV update not long ago which also failed. I'm much looking forward to the mirroring service for iPad.

Because too many are trying to download the update.

Brian8bit · 12 Oct 2011 at 23:55

I don't understand why they didn't stagger the release to avoid this problem.

DanF · 12 Oct 2011 at 23:57

3200 is iTunes trying to validate the image before installing it, basically to make sure it's not corrupted, but the servers are getting hammered so hard that they can't respond properly. Theres nothing wrong with your device or computer with this code. I backed up my iPad then restored it, it took maybe 10 tries to get past the 3200 then it was fine.

I think its to do with my host file

bobbarley · 13 Oct 2011 at 00:00

I've now tried well over 50 times. No luck.

Raymond Lin · 13 Oct 2011 at 00:03

iPhone with IOS5 now...now iPad's turn.

Or download the GM and activate that later.

Looks like its bricked my phone.
Its totally stuck in a loop, get the apple logo, followed by a black screen with just a spinning circle, then back to the apple logo, keeps looping like this.
Cant put it into recovery or DFU mode.
PC doesnt reconise it either.

Looks like a call to Apple tomorrow for a replacement.

Look up how to do a 'DFU restore' (involves holding power and home button then releasing them in the right order at the right time). Not guaranteed to unbrick it, but often does, and can't make the problem worse since it's already bricked.

My iPad has completed the restore+update and is now syncing 98 apps and 5800 songs. I'd best leave it until the morning!

PS - Download servers seemed to speed up a lot around 11PM. Not sure why as that's the time the US east coast get home so you'd expect them to be updating. :confused:

I had a bit of a try of icloud and I decided I dont really need it.
But its stored all my contacts/calendars on my online account so I can still see it even after deleting the account from the iPhone.

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