how do you get iCloud to work? keeps saying back up error when trying to turn it on. any ideas? and iMessage? cant find it anywhere on my phone?

iMessage is embedded in the current 'Messages' app apparently, it will automatically determine who in your contact list has iOS 5.

Hmm, only just noticed that when I go onto my contacts page it's showing as being empty, however when I recieve calls or texts they show up as the persons name still. Also when I write a message and start typing somones name into the 'to' section my contacts display, so they're in there somewhere.

if you go into Settings>iCloud then turn Contacts off, all contacts should appear. if you go back to iCloud settings and turn it on everything should, fingers crossed, be back to normal

I was getting "iCloud Backup Failed" repeatedly from the phone, but when I enabled it in iTunes instead and synced, the phone now says iCloud is enabled. Still doesn't work or back up from the phone ("There was a problem completing the backup. Please try again later") but it's a step further I suppose.

Really don't like the new pinch to zoom on the camera. The way it was done on iOS4 is much better

Is anyone finding that iTunes keeps opening on their PC since they have enabled sync over wi-fi?

Are you double tapping the home button?

I can't even update the IPhone

Couldn't do it last time I upgraded and did it manually...although it's not working this time.

How does one wipe a phone completely?

You sir are a gentleman, that's worked a treat. Spent a while googling to see if anyone had the same issue but couldn't find anything.

Cheers mate

Just to clarify, it seems syncing is working- Outlook calendar entries on my PC appear on the phone via Wifi. I still can't back up to iCloud, but that's a minor annoyance, and I guess that'll work once the flood dies down.

Does iCloud only work with a single AppleID? I have an iPhone with my own ID and my wife does with her own ID, but we only have the one macbook, so how would the photostream work using two ID's?
