I have an iPad (original). I cannot complete the update to iOS 5. It gets to the "backup" stage and then finds an error (-402653081). It asks if I want to continue, with a warning that "continuing will result in the loss of all contents on this iPad."

Tried updating my iPhone to version 5.0.1 but error shows up: "An error occurred while backing up this iPhone [-50]. Would you like to continue updating this iPhone? Continuing will result in loss of all content on this iPhone" - which has me worried.

Any idea what I should do as I would like to update my iPhone but do not want to lose all my content on my iPhone.
Using iPhone 4.
Thank you.
Appreciated much for any advice given.

The first thing you need to do is (in the left side of iTunes, under devices) right click on your phone, and do a manual back up. As long as that works, this should work for you. After you back it up, go to your phone in iTunes, and do a "Restore". Click the option to restore and update. When it is done with the update, it will ask you if you want to set your phone up as a new phone, or restore from the last back up. Restore it, and after another restart, and a sync, you will have your updated phone without loosing your information.

Back up your iPad first, then upgrade. You can restore all your apps and data after it updates!

i'm trying to install iOS 5.0 but getting message that my computer does not have enough space to backup my iPad and continuing will result in loss of all media on iPad. an option seemed to be backing up on iCloud, but i think you have to have iOS 5.0 to install iCloud.
how do i install iOS 5.0 without losing anything on my iPad?

If you really do not have enough space on your HDD for a backup of your iPad, you do not have enough space at all. Free up at least 15% of your HDD, in any case more than 0.8GB for the iPad update.
Make backups on an external disk.
After freeing up enough space, try again.
