Neither iPad or iphone 4S will update from 5.01 to 5.1

Neither my iPad 2 or my iPhone 4S will update from OS 5.01 to 5.1. On my iPad, when I go to Settings, General, Software Update I get the ipad error message: Unable to Check for Update Now - An eror occurred while checking for a software update.
The iPad and iPhone have been set to automatically backup up to iCloud and have been backing up automatically every day.
I tried connecting to my iTunes on my iMac running 10.6.8, but I get the error message "There was a problem downloading the software for the iPad. The network connection could not be established."
My internet connection is fine as well as wireless. And I have no other USB devices connected, the latest versions of iMac software (white iMac 10.6.8) and iTunes (10.6 build 40), and have rebooted both the iMac and iPad with always the same result and messages.
For some reason, neither one of my devices seems to be able to download the 5.1 update.
Any advice? Apple's "more information" link on the error message doesn't really say much except to check for the above things I've mentioned.
Thanks!

I found the above instructions on another discussion thread and so changed the second of my two DNS settings to the first address provided above and both the iPad and iPhone then were able to update to 5.1 without issue.
Judging from the number of "thank you" posted there it seems like changing the DNS settings is the solution to the 5.1 update issues.

When I try to sync my iPad and iPhone it will get within the last 3 pictures then stop giving me an APPCRASH error message. Then iTunes will shut down. No matter what I do to increase or decrease the number of pictures it always stops 3rd from the last.

After ios5 upgrade can no longer increase font size on iPad or iPhone, any suggestions apart from getting new glasses!! Also the backlight on the iPad isn't as bright as before. Any ideas?

Hi Zak, thanks for the reply.
The filename is whatever is set to be the background fill of the site (I presume the desktop background fill, if mobile versions are set to be different). I've tried a number of different files, sizes and types/formats and the result is still the same, so as far as I can tell it's not the file itself causing the issue...
It uploads all pages (desktop, tablet and phone versions), .css files and .html files, and even the favicon .ico file but then hangs on the first image file, which incidentally is the background fill image.
The total number of files is said to be 154. It gets stuck on file number 24.
Yes the "Resume" dialog appears and upon clicking it just attempts to continue from the hang at the first image file (apparently 66% of the way through).
Re: the "BC site has changed" part - I thought as much but figured worth reporting.
... Incidentally, as I've written this reply, I left the "Resume" dialog open (ie neither clicking "resume" or "cancel" and just as I've finished typing it appears to have published the site successfully?!! (I must've left it for roughly 5 minutes)
Bizarre behaviour... I'm not sure if this will repeat itself with other sites but I'm sure there's a bug here that needs looking at regardless...?!
Any thoughts?

My devices, iPad and iPhone, are not updating automatically with pages. Any suggestions. They use to update beautifully about one week ago. I took my MacBook Pro to the Apple store for software issues, and I been having updating issues. Little help please.....

Welcome to the Apple community.
Check all your devices still have documents and data syncing turned on in settings > iCloud and that iCloud is enabled at settings > Pages. If this doesn't help, reset documents & Data from a computer at...

The update itself will not affect exisiting files, but if you open and save them in CCC you will no longer be able to open them in CS6.

pl let me know as i have already purchased docs to go for my iPad when i tried to update from my mac they deducted 1$ why

Did you add or change your credit card details when downloading it ? If so then it's probably a store holding charge which should disappear within the a few days (though as it's now the weekend it may take a day or two longer) : store holding charges.

My 3G iphone won't update from 3.1.3.

My 3G iphone won't update from 3.1.3. Was running iTunes 10.2.1 and had to turn off wireless for iTunes to recognize the phone. Have installed iTunes 10.4, but now it doesn't open right away. When it finally does, it recognizes the phone and reminds me it needs updating. I can back up/sync normally, but when I try to update the software, I get the back up status bar for 24+ hours. It never installs the software. As a result, I have not updated the phone's software.

HT203433 Having an issue with my IPad and IPhone trying to update my Apps from the Apps store?

I am having a problem with my IPad and Iphone trying to do My Apps updates via the App Store. I see the # of 4 updates in red showing, but when i try to do the updates by hitting the "update button" I get an error message saying I can not connect to the iTunes store although I am signed in already?
Anyone had the same problem?
thx,
Max

I'm not aware of any viruses or malware for iOS devices (except for jailbroken devices), but it might be a software bug.
Try closing all apps via the taskbar and then do another a reset and see if that helps. To close all app : from the home screen (i.e. not with any app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of each app to close them, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
Reset as before i.e. press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

Game played on both iPad and iPhone. Will iCloud help syncing datas?

I started playing Infinity Blade on the iPhone. Will it be possible to sync the saved data on the iPad with iCloud?
I mean, it's ridicoulus that I have to start over every single game on the iPad...

It should work the same way document sync will for the iWork apps. The document store is part of the iCloud sync process. ANY app can take advantage of this if it's written using the proper APIs. This is why if you create and edit a document in Pages on your iPad, you'll be able to open it up and continue on your iPad, and presumably on your Mac as well.
Existing apps won't do this, of course. At least not until they are updated to take advantage of iCloud.
See this page: http://www.apple.com/icloud/features/documents.html
"If you have the same iCloud-enabled apps on more than one device, iCloud automatically keep your documents up to date across all your devices. So you don’t have to."
Things like saved games could be treated the same as any other document. The app just has to be "iCloud-enabled".

HT4623 I don't have this option (software update) in my iPad so how I will update iOS on my iPad

I need to update iOS on my ipad2 but I don't have option software update on my iPad so how I can update it

The option to update without the computer (Over the air) was made available with iOS 5. If your iDevice is using a version of iOS lower than 5, you will need to use iTunes on your syncing computer to perform the upgrade. Use the Apple link below as a guide for the upgrade.

Can I use the same itunes for my ipad and iphone? Will the computer erase my other device information?

Can I use the same itunes for my ipad and iphone on my computer? Will the computer erase my other device information?

The computer will not erase the information. Each device will show up in iTunes as a separate device and you can control the information for each device through iTunes.

Windows 8 is not supported with iOS devices, that's why they are not showing up in iTunes.
