Download iOS5 for every device?

This used to be a minor annoyance in the past but now, because of the size of the upgrade, it is very frustrating.
So I upgraded one of my iDevices to iOS5. I now want to upgrade my other iDevices. I was hoping (despite past experiences) not to have to download iOS5 again. It should be already on my computer's hard drive. However, iTunes forces me to download it again. Am I doing anything wrong?
How stupid is this? Why would Apple want their servers to do the same work over and over again?
Thanks

iOS 5 needs to be installed separately on each iDevice you have. Once downloaded an installed on a device the file is automatically deleted. However, you can download a standalone file here. To install it you click on the Restore button in iTunes while holding the OPTION key down. When the dialog appears locate the appropriate .ipsw file for the device, select it and click on the Open button.

10.3 OS Upgrade error. An error has occurred while downloading software for your device. Please verify your internet connection or try again later

HELP ! HELP ! HELP ! "An error has occurred while downloading software for your device. Please verify your internet connection or try again later, if the problem persists." appears while attempting to upgrade or install BlackBerry Device Software. upgrading my Z10 OS to 10.3 on both (link & web). but facing same problem again and again. plz help. internet speed is 1mbps and working fine.

I suggest you try the very clean and very forceful AutoLoader method:
http://supportforums.blackberry.com/t5/BlackBerry-10-OS-Device-Software/Upgrading-OS10-devices-using...
Beware that it is completely destructive...the device will be "like new"...no data, no apps, no accounts, etc. Be sure you take a full backup first, as well as make full manual documentation of all apps, accounts, configurations, etc. Sometimes a restore reintroduces the very corruption one is trying to eliminate, and manual reconfiguration is necessary.
You can also use this to fall back to a prior OS if you desire...you can install any OS level for which you can find an AutoLoader. (Hint...search over on the CB site!)
Good luck and let us know!

HT3529 how do I download iOS5 for my Apple iphone 4?

How do I download iOS5 for my Apple iphone 4?

As with any other iOS updates released for the iPhone prior to iOS 5 - with iTunes on your computer used for syncing your iPhone.
After iOS 5 is installed, you can download and install iOS updates direct with the iPhone without having to connect your iPhone to iTunes.

Make a folio for every device

Hi,
I want to publish a folio for every device. I have made one for the iPad 3 (2048x1536px, PDF) and now I want to publish this on devices like iphone, nexus 10, iPad 2 etc.
But how to do this?
If I create a folio in the resulution of the iPad 2 it will also be visible on the iPad 3, but not on the Galaxy S2 because of the PDF. If I create it as JPEG it works on iPad 3 + iPad 2 + Galaxy S2 but without zooming and thats important for me (because of details).
So how to make a folio for every device which can view folios?
Greetings

You need DPS ( Professional Or Enterprise ) edition.

No. If they reformat, you can no longer track it.

Why doesn't Apple make iPhoto free to older versions of the iPhone, iPad, or iPod? They made it free for the new products and I don't understand they don't make it free for every device.

I want iPhoto and iMovie and I don't understand why Apple doesn't make them free for every device they have.

They are not exactly free on the new devices either. iMovie and iPhoto are included, when you buy a new device. You're purchase price for your older devices did not include the apps, so you have to buy them, sorry.

I've been trying to download IOS5 for more than 2 hours. Do I need to stop and restart?

I've been trying to download IOS5 for more than 2 hours. Do I need to stop and restart the download?

I think I would cancel it. Unplug phone, then plug back in and then maybe only select download instead of download and install. Thats what I did for our phones and so far we have no issues at all with any of the features - new or old. I don't know why that would make a difference though. But it will allow you to unplug your phone once the download starts and go do your thing while its downloading. Then you can come back later and when u plug in iTunes will ask you to install new software for phone.

Can the people at the apple store download ios5 for me...

Can I go to my local apple store, and ask them whether they can download ios5 to my ipod touch 4 gen. My internet is too slow, it would take at least 12 hours to download ios5.

Yes. They can do that for you

How can I download iOS5 for my iPAD2?

I can´t download ios5, it says, open itunes and follow instructions???

You need to connect your iPad to your computer and update the software in iTunes. Make sure you have the latest version of iTunes and your iPad should be recognized when connected and it should let you know there is a newer version of iOS available for download. Going to iOS 5.0.1 is a lengthy process. Make sure you have turned off any Firewall/Anti-Virus software before starting the process.

Execute Authentication for every device

Hi all,
As Execute authentication requires a Global User with device association, I know that one way to allow an app to Execute to any/every device would be to have it do authentication as a Global User that is associated with every device. However, in environments where the devices number 3000+, doing this can take a long while (and CM appears to lack the resources to do this number of associations in one 'update', anyway). Either way, the maintenance of such a user's associations is the part that gives me overhead-ache just thinking about it.
I know you could also hack c:\CiscoWebs\IPPhoneServices\CCMCIP\authenticate.asp to repsond affirm regardless of authenticator, but as this wouldn't work for 7920s (and surely is not Cisco-supported, anyway), I was wondering:
Any good suggestions to globally authenticate an app to any/all devices during an Execute? Is a redirect-authenticate and proxy like PushAuthenticate the best answer?
Thanks for any assistance!
Craig

yes, you need an authentication proxy. create a web service that mirrors the function of authenticate.asp, and set its URL as the default authentication URL in enterprise parameters. now, when you build applications that require phones to authenticate you can use the authentication proxy instead of the callmanager.
the trick is to build an authentication proxy that also works with other applications that still need callmanager authentication. a good way to do this is to have your applications communicate with the authentication proxy before the phones authenticate. that way, the proxy knows phones are about to authenticate, and can provide the appropriate response. then, if a phone tries to authenticate for an unknown application, the proxy simply passes on the authentication request to the call manager.
there's a trick here: a simple http redirect would be great *except* it doesn't work with all loads of all phones. 7960/7940s have always been fine, but i've had problems with earlier loads on 7912s. don't know if this problem has been fixed yet.

HT1414 download ios5 for ipod touch

how do i get and do the download

I suspect you have a 2G iPod. Those can only go to iOS 4.2.1.
Identifying iPod models
iPod touch (3rd generation)
iPod touch (3rd generation) features a 3.5-inch (diagonal) widescreen multi-touch display and 32 GB or 64 GB flash drive. You can browse the web with Safari and watch YouTube videos with Wi-Fi. You can also search, preview, and buy songs from the iTunes Wi-Fi Music Store on iPod touch.
The iPod touch (3rd generation) can be distinguished from iPod touch (2nd generation) by looking at the back of the device. In the text below the engraving, look for the model number. iPod touch (2nd generation) is model A1288, and iPod touch (3rd generation) is model A1318.

Lion Downloads Afresh For Every Install

I discovered to my horror that despite already having Lion installed on a brand new Macbook Air, reinstalling the system triggers the download from scratch of the whole OS!!! Isn't this defeating the object of a recovery partition? Instead of installing my system, I'm now watching it download ...slowly. It started at 7 hours and is now down to 2.
Apple - Please recognise the realities of the World you're working in. Individuals do not have lease lines and cannot accomodate 4gig downloads to reintall their operating system. Besides, why would they want to? Why isn't it issued on a flash drive or something? Daft.
More insanity from Cupertino. Every time I use Lion it makes me want to buy a PC. Grrrrr. Snow Leopard was fantastic.

Why are you booting to the Recovery partition? Why dont you boot into the normal partition and use your Mac?
