Problems downloading ios5 on their iPad ?

Is anyone still having problems downloading the new operating system? I still can't download it, any tips?

Are you getting any errors ? If you're getting a network timeout error then try temporarily turning off your firewall and antivirus software until the download has completed.
Or you could downloading it via a browser : https://discussions.apple.com/message/16436025#16436025

I'm having a problem downloading iOS5. It downloads but will not install to my ipad. Help!

I've downloaded iOS5 twice, but it will not install on my ipad2. I receive the following message after an hour and 15 minutes of downloading: There was a problem downloading the software for ipad (Gives the ipad name). This network timed out. Make sure your network settings are correct and your network connection is active, or try again later. Please Help, the new features look VERY useful to me.

i downloaded ios5 to my ipad. Initially had problem with apps which was fixed by downloading an upgrade and they all staarted working. But everything is so slow it is almost useless. i have tried rebooting, it didn't help.

Other users have reported this very same issue after updating their iPads. You are using the original iPad according to your profile and those devices seem to be the more adversely affected devices. You can try the basic things and see if any of this helps.
Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Quit/close open apps by double tapping the home button and the task bar will appear with all of you recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus (-) sign in the upper left corner to close the apps. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
If none of those things help, you can always try restoring your iPad. I have restored mine with some success, but I still have issues that I hope will be resolved soon.
An update to the iOS has been announced and it is in Beta now. Hopefully it will be released to all users soon.

Where does a developer download iOS5 beta for iPad?

I'm a developer, but where exactly do I download iOS5 beta for iPad? In the Dev Center I only see the SDK for 4.3. Thanks.

Thanks, I wanted to make sure. Many people mistakenly think that the iOS betas are available to the public or non-paid developers. If you can't find the beta, I'd suggest you ask for pointers in the developer forums:
http://developer.apple.com/devforums/
and if you can't get help there contact Apple Developer Support. We're really not allowed to discuss any specifics about unreleased Apple software in these public forums.

Downloaded IOS5 to my Ipad and now cannot synch with itunes - I get no messages

I have downloaded IOS5 and the IPad works fine but I cannot synch with itunes and all of my Ipad music, videos and photos are gone. Tough to tell wher I went wrong since I can run wireless synch and it gets to stage 7 but then nothing happens. I hope someone else has encountered and solved this already.

HT1349 I'm having problems downloading apps to my iPad using wifi at a McDonalds. The apps all stay in a"waiting" mode. I can't delete them or get them to install. This is the second time that this has happened. Advice?

I am having problems downloading apps while using wifi in a public setting. The apps will show up on my screen and say "waiting". They will not install. I can't even delete them from my screen. This has happened before and I had to reset my iPad to factory settings. I hope I don't have to do this again. Any advice?

Well, typically one of the fixes that I would suggest is to try to delete the waiting icons. WIFi in a public places like McDonalds, Starbucks, B&N, etc. is not the greatest and I would avoid those places for downloading and updating apps. But I do realize that not everybody has access to Wifi in their homes.
These are all things that have worked at one time or another for other users. Hopefull one of them will work for you. Just ignore whatever does not apply or anything that you have already tried.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
Make sure that you do not have a stalled download in iTunes - a song or podcast .... if you have a download in there that did not finish, complete that one first. Only one thing can download at a time on the iPad so that could be what is causing the problem.
If that doesn't work - sign out of your account, restart the iPad and then sign in again.
Settings>iTunes & App Store>Apple ID. Tap your ID and sign out. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Go back to Settings>iTunes & App Store>Sign in and then try to update again. Tap one waiting icon only if necessary to start the download stream.
You can also try deleting the waiting icons - tap and hold down on an icon until it wiggles - the tap the X on the icon to delete it. Then try to download again.
You can try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your app preferences and device settings again.
If all else fails, download the updates or the apps in iTunes on your computer and then sync the content to your iPad.

Since I have downloaded IOS5 on my IPAD and synced to my IMac, Safari keeps dropping off before downloading the website, is slow, also an icon which accessed open safari windows is no longer available. Apps trouble too. Help?

Since I have downloaded IOS5 on my IPAD2 and synced to my IMac, Safari keeps dropping off before site is downloaded and is slow. There was an icon that showed how many windows were open on Safari and when pressed displayed them, that has disappeared and apps do not always download. Sometimes by making several/many attempts, it eventually downloads the website or app, but this is not right. When trying to dowload any lonks from an email, they simply do not open, it keeps going back to the home screen. Does anybody have any suggestions? I only bought the IPAD 2 in June!

Also the touch screen does not seem to be responding adequately. Thank you for any help you can give.

HT4972 Downloading iOS5 on an iPad 1

I cannot seem to upgrade to iOS5 on my iPad 1 and don't even have a "software update" option under my general settings. Help! I need to download some apps ASAP. Can someone assist?

Update it from iTunes on a computer as described at the bottom of this article; devices running an iOS version prior to 5.0 can't be updated straight from the device. It will be updated to the newest iOS release supported by the device’s hardware.
The maximum iOS version for the third generation iPod touch and original iPad is 5.1.1.

Problems downloading iOS5 - Doesn'y get past back up.

Evening.
I have an iPhone 4. I am having trouble downloading iOS5. I've left it running for hours several times, but it never gets further than about 5% of backing up my iPhone.

Can you offer any advice?
Thanks, Jared.
