Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
I just saw that. Sad. Pouring out a semicolon now.

dear jeebus, the process to update my iPad. So I started it 3 times, but the back up process was taking FOREVER. Like 90 minutes, and barely a sliver of progress bar completed. For the third time, I first sync'd and removed all video and audio. The last attempt started about 11:45. The iTunes panel indicated the last back up was finished at 1:11am. I woke up 10 min ago (laptop still on lap, in recliner chair) to see the final minutes of the restore. Now the iPad looks like it's ready to go, but iTunes is saying "restoring iPad apps", so I don't dare disconnect. Dude. SIX HOURS. I realize it's a major OS update. And the fact it's free is real cool. But 6 hours!?

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
my ipad did not take that long. I have a 16GB, so I am not sure if that made a difference. The iphone however took awhile. I had backed up prior to the release of ios5, so that did not pose a problem for me.
The main problem I had with both was during the initial restore when I think it had to call to the mothership and apparently God and everyone was updating at the same time. I also had a problem at the restore part. It took me a few tries to get that working.
I like a lot about ios5, but there are a few things I do not like.
Oh, and I filled up Icloud like right away. I had to go in and delete some apps from Icloud.

this is one of the many reasons i don't do the updates as soon as they're available.

I left my iPhone connected last night so it could update while I was asleep, but when I looked this morning it had still only downloaded. Probably it was waiting for me to click OK to something and timed out.

My iTunes is refusing to recognize my network connection. When I try to go to the iTunes store, update my iPhone, or even go to help, I get the following error -
"iTunes could not connect to the iTunes (Store/Help/Update). The network connection timed out. Make sure your network settings are correct and your network connection is active, then try again".
I have rebooted, bounced my router, downloaded the most current version of iTunes... I'm out of ideas.

The status is NOT quo.
Suzi, fwiw, I was having those issues too, but the second time I plugged the iPhone in I told it to download only and not update, and now it’s working fine. I told it to update after it had downloaded.
