Ios5 and the newbie

Hi,
I'm relatively new to all this, and have an imac airbook, ipad2, and iphone 4.
What do I need to do do ensure all are working together when ios5 launches, and how do I go about making it work?

Ken ~ iOS 5 gives your iOS devices access to iCloud -- and if you want iCloud's features on your Mac, you'll need to upgrade from Mac OS X 10.6.8 to 10.7 "Lion".

I updated ios5 and the camera will not let me pinch to zoom it just closes the camera. Any suggestions

UPdated ios5 and camera will not allow the pinch to zoom it just closes the camera

Try a Reset
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Release the Buttons.

I just got my iPad with ios5 and the photo resolution is not good, is there a solution?

I got my iPad 2 days ago and the resolution on both front and back camera is extremely low, when taking pics the pixels don't look neat at all, everything looks Iike it was taken from a cell phone with horrible camera resolution.

The resolution of the cameras on the iPad is very low (I can't remember the exact values but they are both something like 1 meg), and unless you are in very good light you are unlikely to get acceptable photos from it. The cameras are mainly aimed at video calls e.g. FaceTime and Skype. If you want to take photos then you are probably better off with a compact camera, or even just your phone.

My iphone 3gs is working on ios5 and the spotlight search wont work at all

HELP

Or you can try what lots of other people have found, and thats that the base connector is dirty and the contacts are shorted by some debris.
The Apple store guys are good at cleaning them out - if you do it yourself, do not use any liquids at all.

How do I get my new iphone restored with my old backup? my old iphone had ios5 and the replacement phone i got has ios4 and it wont let me backup my phone because it doesnt have ios4... i cant get ios5 without restoring my iphone and backing it uo

Basically, i need all my old stuff from my iphone 4 with ios5 onto my new iphone 4. The new phone i received only had ios4. I went to get all my contacts and backup from my old phone onto my new phone and it wont let me because my new phone is only ios4 and my backup from my old phone was in ios5. I cant get ios5 on my phone without creating a new backup of my new phone, which has nothing on it. If i restore it as a new phone and backup virtually nothing from my new phone, will that get rid of all my old backup stuff from my old iphone?

Bottom line is you CANNOT restore to a phone from a backup that has a more recent iOS which is what you're trying to do. Just can't be done.

IOS5 and the iphone 4

I have a number of problems with my iphone 4 since iOS5 came out.
1. Playlists do not copy to phone as they are in iTunes.
2. Smart playlist will not load on the phone. HUGE problem.
3. I have the Garmin app on my phone and an Alpine head unit. with iOS5 it worked (kind of anyway, it wouldn't play playlists just the songs in ABC order), since the recent update the iPhone will not play through the deck AT ALL. App works. Music works. Just no connectivity. What gives.
4. Large playlists NEVER load, just crash.
Anyone have any work arounds for any of these?

For the first two problems listed...
After some experimentation I have a solution that I find satisfactory for a smart playlist containing only podcasts, and not referencing any other playlist, AND still leaves the "Live Updating" checkbox selected.
What I did was...
- removed any references to other playlists in the Smart Playlist options.
- changed it to "Genre" "IS" "Podcast"
- added "Plays "Is Less Than" "1"
- Selected "Limit to" (in my case 25) "items" checkbox. (I coincidentally, also chose "by Artist" but it didn't matter.)
- Unselected the playlist, under the Podcasts tab, while the iPhone was connected...
-- Sync'ed the iPhone once without it selected.
-- reselected the Playlist under the Podcast tab of the iPhone options, and
--- re-synced with the playlist now selected again.
I have to say I am more than pleased that it not only is keeping the same order in iTunes as well as on the iPhone, but it also removes ON-THE-FLY! the podcasts as I completed listening to them - in the iPhone, without any sort of syncing enabled. I had always hoped that would work someday.
Thank you Apple.

Ive updated my iphone 4 to ios5 and the music will not play atall even though its all on the phone is anyone else having this problem?

Obviously Ive had the same errors originally but the software has updated fine now. But for some reason the music on the phone will not play atall! with or with out headphones. It seems too just be staying at 0.00mins and even if I fast forward it it just stays at the particular mins fast forwarded to. Has anyone else had this problem?

Similar symptom here. I gathered from other threads that by removing all the songs and re-sync them back to iPhone4 would sort the problem! I tried with one album and it seemed to have work fine! So I removed all the songs and transferred them back again! However, I could not launch Music app any more! Click on Music and it just stopped, i.e. could not be launched!!!
However, I noticed that I could still play all the songs through headphone control. But if you play without the headphone plugged in, no sound comes out of the phone speaker!!!!!
Aarrrgggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!
Apple - surely you must seriously look into this and come out with resolutions by now! Would SJ step in by now????? RIP SJ! Apple, in fact all of us, miss you - with diferent reasons !!!

Do as it suggests and restore the device.

Calender does not work between IOS5 and IOS4.3 iPad

We have two iPads. One is unfortunately on IOS5 and the other is on IOS4.3. When i activate the calender on both devices the shared calender is seen on the IOS4.3 iPad but not on the IOS5 iPad. Whatever i try using google accounts or iCloud it only works one way. Seems like another bug in IOS5? The CalDav fucntion that is proposed on multiple answers does not seem to work at all on the IOS5 iPad, it simply does not accept the password. Is there a simple way out? Or would i need to upgrade the second iPad also to IOS5 as i cannot downgrade the first iPad back to IOS4.3?
help...

The iOS 4 device will not be able to use iCloud, of course.
As to Google calendars, I found that there's something different about how Calendar works in iOS 5. I had a couple Google calendars that I was subscribed to in iOS 4, but when I upgraded, those calendars stopped updating, and I could not figure out for the life of me where those calendars were defined. I ultimately had to remove them and then re-add them in Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars. Click Add Account, and if you only want a calendar, click Other, then Add CalDAV Account or Add Subscribed Calendar.

Error 23, 28, 29: These errors may indicate a hardware issue with your device. Follow the steps in this article. Also attempt to restore while connected with the white USB Dock Connector cable that shipped with your device, on a known good computer and network to isolate this issue to the device. The MAC address being missing or the IMEI being the default value, (00 499901 064000 0), can also confirm a hardware issue. Out-of-date or incorrectly configured security software can also cause these errors.

I downloaded the ios5 and during the installation something went really wrong and now I can't open it, restore it or reset it by hand. Any ideas?

I am having an issue as well, I think it is ongoing for everyone who is trying to update.
