  • Unable to restore after installing iOS5

    I have an iPad 2 and downloaded iOS 5. I started the update process after backing up the device and syncing it to the latest version of iTunes. The upgrade indicated it was backing up the device and when I came back to check it's progress, there was an error about not being able to connect to the device because I had a security code. I entered the code and was greeted by a new screen that steps me through selecting some settings, connecting to my network and then giving me the option to restore from iCloud, an iTunes backup or setup as a new device. I chose from my iTunes backup.
    All my contacts and calendar restored, and my apps.  But I did not get my video and music restored.  I tried manually adding the video and music and only the video was restored. 
    Then I got some error messages about a corrupted backup.  I did a back up at 10:30 am which shows up in iTunes, but the only option for a backup now is from 3:09.
    When I try to sync I get the following message.  "This computer has previously been synced with an iPad or another iOS device."  Then it gives me the option of setting up as a new iPad or restoring from a backup.  The only option is the back up from 3:09 and when I click on that it says no such back up exists.
    So do I need to set this up as a new device?
    I'm using a Windows XP SR3 computer.
    Thanks

    As a last resort I connected the iPad to my Macbook which had the old version of iTunes 5.0 and no IOS 5 downloaded. It reloaded IOS 4.3.5 and the iPad came straight back up with all the apps, music and email on it without needing to do a resync with the host iMAC.
    This seems odd to me that the old iOS would restore on it's own. I'm not aware that you can even do that without some user input to force the downgrade. And you would have to point iTunes to the old iOS restore file on your Mac.
    I'm nervous about resynching with the iMAC now. Will it try to force IOS 5 on it again or can I just wait for IOS 6 before I put my toe in the water again?
    iTunes should not force anything on the iPad. It needs user input to upgrade. You have to accept the upgrade. It should not happen on it's own. That's why your first statement has me stumped.
    If you get the popup asking if you want to download and install iOS 5 - just click off of it - cancel it. You can upgrade if and when you choose to do so. You don't have to accept the upgrade.

    Where did you get the phone? If it was previously locked to a carrier and was hacked/jailbroken to use it on a different carrier, updating the phone has re-locked it to the original carrier. ONLY the carrier it is locked to can authorize and unlock.

  • After installing ios5 and having had to change my apple id to e-mail address I am unable to download updates as they were purchased under my previous id and it will not allow me to get back into the old id  Help please.

    After installing ios5 and having had to change my apple id to e-mail address I am unable to download updates as they were purchased under my previous id and it will not allow me to get back into the old id  Help please.

    Make sure you enter your new Id in settings/message, settings/facetime.  ANy content that you downloaded with the old ID is forever linked to that old ID and if you have apps that were downloaded with the old ID and you want to update them you can only do that with the old ID.  You could delete those apps and downlad them again ( and pay for them if they are not free apps)

    Please help me

    I opened a new user on my computer yesterday with administrative privledges. I then opened up an itunes account from this new user. It seemed to go pretty well. I haven't downloaded any new songs yet or moved them to my account. I don't know how to move songs yet. I'm reading iPod and iTunes for Dummeies. Very appropriate for me. I will let you know when I manage to do this and am successful. Once again, thank you for your kindness and help. Kay 205

  • After installing iOS5 the syncing from iPhone to PC does not update PC.  PC to iPhone is okay.  Anyone having same problem and/or solution?

    After installing iOS5 on my iPhone 4 I am having a problem syncing Calendar, Contacts etc.  If I say add something in Calendar on my iPhone it will not sync to my PC, even though is says it is.  However if I add something to my Calendar on my PC (using Outlook) it will sync to my iPhone.  Anyone having the same issues and/or solution?

    Ok. I disabled hardware acceleration. The only extension is the McAfee Scriptscan for Firefox 15.1.0, which was already disabled. I then disabled all plugins (Acrobat, Google Update, Intel Identity Protection (2x), Java Deployment Toolkit, Java Platform, MS Office 2013, Quicktime, Shockwave, Silverlight), which were all up to date.
    Normal or safe mode still has same result. No startup, no option button and no customize.
    Thanks for your help. Got any other suggestions?
