Me!

Just happened to plug in to charge at 6pm and clicked update without thinking.

400MB to go and 52 minutes remaining apparently.

Think I'll cancel and try again tomorrow.

Downloading a gigabyte of OS X and iTunes updates, once done with that I'll do iOS 5. This could take a while!

80 minutes remaining - hang on, it was 77 minutes left a couple of minutes ago!

EDIT - and then it timed out! Oh joy. iOS 5 may not be ours today after all.

Working!

Notifications are pretty cool. Everything else looks pretty similar. Sort of like Lion vs Snow Leopard.

Double tap the home button on the lock screen to get camera button. The phone decides to send imessage or not based on the destination device.

Two iPhone 4's both fail with the 3200 error, consensus else where seems to be restart phone and/or computer then try again, and again, and again...until it finally works

i stopped the unknown error restore thingy, did the 'restore ipod if having problems' thing and now have ios5. not sure what the differences are yet though. Seems to get the icloud to work i will have to install Lion on my imac, which based on the reviews i am still seeing in the app store i dont want to do.

bugger. at least i should be able to sync wirelessly now though. and i am not seeing the camera button on the lock screen - suspect that is iphone only 🙁

edit - sweet - thanks for that - now got the camera button 🙂

if you get the failed error, try again - mine went from downloading the remaining 300 MB in 60 minutes to downloading the whole 600 MB in less than 10 😯

3 hrs for each iOS5 and 10.7.2

Be done for when I go to bed.

Anyone know if we get icloud or will we have to wait for it?

icloud is there already i think. i am a bit confused with it as it says i need to set up an @me email address to make it work. more dissapointed that it needs Lion really though

If it requires Lion, my counsel would be to give it a drive by, Lion is diabolical.

Well i just force quit itunes which set the restore working again but now im setting the icloud business up its stuck on the find my phone screen.

Im too tired and ratty to be doing this now I've got no patience - it must all be so clogged up. Im getting multiple emails to verify my email address associated with my itunes account even though this has been my email address for years.

I'm downloading it to my desktop and two laptops.

Don't have an iPhone, likes... Just thought I'd slow things down for everyone else.

Downloaded itunes update quickly but the iOS5 backup is taking forever. Not doing my phone until tomorrow but think that will be a good thing given the state of the apple servers!

Loads of 3200 errors and then it got through to apple and started updating. then it lost contact with apple and borked my phone. Dead phone and no update.... 👿

ROFLcopter. I can't believe people are rushing to install a point-O release.

Suckers! Let me know how the beta testing goes. I'll maybe give it a whirl in a week or two. 😀

What a quaint way of doing things....my Android updates are sent over the air and take a couple of minutes while the phone reboots.

I'm sure the fanboys will still argue that everything Apple does is just so intuitive and user friendly! 😆

They have nicked a lot of Android ideas. Notifications, over the air updates, "iCloud" syncing etc..

It all works better on apple obviously 🙂

I'd recommend going through all the settings though, i'm suspicious of sending my location to Apple (do they really need that?)

GrahamS, its class - your missing loads - mines working fine.

Anyone know how you get the notification centre up?

So far i like the keyboard shortcuts you can make, software update without needing nd for future point releases, newstand, itunes wifi sync (about time)

Can anyone confirm or deny the ability of the new iOS to stream music to multiple external speakers at the same time (e.g. multiple airport expresses)?

Yeah yeah.. That's only because Droid has been loads and loads of tiny releases as they get it up to speed and fix all the bugs. 😀

The iPhone releases have been a few hundred Mb. That takes a while over-the-air and would burn through most folks monthly allowance in one go.

At least with the iPhone method you have a complete backup of everything on the phone to restore to if it all goes wrong. 🙂

iTried to update mine earlier, but the servers were overwhelmed. Updated iTunes no problem, and backed up the phone and downloaded iOS5, but it couldn't confirm stuff with Apple. As I understand it, once iOS5 is installed, OTA updates are done from then on, using Apple's server farm, presumably. They obviously wanted something a bit more robust than RIM's servers in Slough...

Got bored - went to sleep - woke up with iOs5 - looks good so far - bit nippier all round and sorted out the problem I was having with the home button intermittently not working.

Notifications seems OK but can't get the camera button on lock screen? No tabbed Safari browsing either wonder if thats just iPad.

chrisdb double click home button for camera option on lock screen.

still no wiser on imessage

found the first bug. notifications does not like multiple meeting requests. got 2 today, synced from my exchange email account and the ntifications 'home' screen has gone mental, constantle flicking between the two, very annoying.

Downloaded in about 15 mins this am but my desktop is playing up and not liking updating iTunes. Tried a few things to fix it and now probably going to have to do a repair. The laptop has a back up of the phone on it but I'll lose my music so waiting just now.

Does iMessage work on GPRS or does it fail over to SMS?

The icloud photo stream is confusing me - can you browse your icloud space on the web somehow? I dont have Lion yet on the macbook but i want my pics being sent up to the cloud to see what happens.

I'm doing backups to the cloud and also wifi synchs and feel like its all gone a bit complicated

Id like some more widgets in Notification area and to be able to drop into notfications from in the lock screen with a button like the camera now has.
