So much for my smart-arsery of waiting a bit.
Error 1602 followed by lots of Error -50.Something to do with USB timeouts apparently (which is odd given it usually syncs with this cable in this port just fine).
Currently on my fourth attempt at a complete Restore To Factory then Restore from Backup. Keep getting Error -50.
Quite likely I'm going to be left with an empty factory-reset phone!

You didn't leave it very long did you!
*smugly carries on waiting*

Long enough to know the servers wouldn't be too busy. It downloaded fast enough (20 mins or so).
Had an OTA update on my HTC done in less than 2 min.
I rather suspect that wasn't adding 200 new features though.

True, but previous larger updates were as simple, without "bricked devices"

Now need to try to figure if iCloud can be used to give two people who share an Apple ID different Reminders!
Yes - no problem. You can have multiple Apple IDs and share or have differnet ones for different services. (ie have a shared one for your store account for music and app purchases and individual ones for contacts etc).
A different problem - we sync our phones to the same computer but theres no longer any way to maintain separate contact lists (you can't sync/link a desktop app to >1 iCloud account)

Well this is going well...

Well, I gave up last night, and had another go this morning, as I'm on an afternoon shift, figuring that all the Americans would be asleep, and mine went fine, backed up, verified software, installed, reinstalled apps and music, and all seems to be going swimmingly at the mo. Oddly, my phone seems to be picking up a stronger wifi signal now, and it seems to be running faster, too. If I want to move or delete an app or web link, holding the home button stabilises straight away, whereas before it took several seconds for things to stop 'wobbling'. Updated Lion tonight to get full iCloud compatability, and that seems to have gone without a hitch too. Only thing I can't find an update for is iPhoto, which isn't listed in software update as installed software, for some reason.
Apparently the demand last night on Apple's servers nearly broke the Internet, ISP's all over the place were reporting huge spikes in demand.Posted 7 months ago # -
My issue wasn't demand Count. It downloaded quickly and verified. Just seemed to be bugs in iTunes.
Seem to have got there after many many hours, mainly by fighting what iTunes wanted to do, ignoring the error then manually Syncing.

i cannot log onto icloud. keeps saying it cant verify email address. do what it tells me to do but do not recieve verification email. have no idea how to sort it. dammit.
Posted 7 months ago # -
Is the verification email getting eaten by your spam filters? Do you have a Spam folder you can check?
Posted 7 months ago # -
nothing coming through to inbox or spam.
Posted 7 months ago # -
Dunno then. Wasn't a problem for me I just used my existing Apple ID.

Got the downloads okay, then had a bit of a squeaky bum moment when I almost managed to delete the contents of my calendar while migrating from MobileMe to iCloud. Largely self-inflicted thanks to not really reading the help article on how to complete the process until after I started having problems!
Posted 7 months ago # -
Don't really see the point of calendar and mail syncing through iCloud, but then I never saw the point of doing it through MobileMe either.

There isnt an update, you need to purchase iPhoto '11. Another £10 expenditure to go with the £21 for lion to make all the new 'free' ios 5 features work. grumble grumble.Posted 7 months ago # -

I want to test my websites on itYou click the 'Reader' button that appears in the address bar.. thing is it doesnt always appear, so I assume safari makes some sort of decision based on the content if it should show the button or not, dont know what this is though.

Thanks theroadwarrior I still haven't found a site it appears with yet - can you give me a url?
Posted 7 months ago # -
Oh if you just want to add a site to the reader then just press the Action button like it says (the box with the arrow coming out of it).
If you want a site with full reader capability try Lifehacker.

Graham S - the 'Reader' isn't the 'Reading List', it's a stripped down version of pages (nearly the same as stripping the CSS file, but it also strips other things). To make complex desktop-designed web pages easier to read on the phone. I still haven't found it.

You might need to go to an actual story rather than just the main page.

Not getting this notifications lark to work (which is annoying because I wold use it if it did work properly).
I have put appointments into my calendar but they are not all appearing in notifications - I have set it to show and it shows ONE but no more (and I have it set to show 10). And when I alter them they don't appear correctly.
I am hoping this is a bug to be fixed quickly.
(I use Google Apps Calendar and have it set to update the Phone calendar and it appears in the phone calendar but NOT in notifications).
This is going to annoy me.
