Storage capacity after IOS5 upgrade

I recently upgraded a 3GS to the IOS 5 software and now my 32GB storage capacity is showing 6GB and I am out of room.

The storage capacity on my iPhone 4S with IOS 5.0.1 is 57.4GBs. As you know, this is the formatted capacity of the device. The raw storage is 64GBs but you'll never get this with any operating system (e.g. 'droid) b/c no OS is 100% efficient between formatted and unformatted capacities. The used 6.6GBs may also include IOS and 92 Apps but I cannot verify it.
On the other hand I "lost" only 700MBs on my MPB hard-disk once it was formatted. So there's something inefficient or something I cannot account for in my iPhone 4S.

Performance slowdown after iOS5 upgrade

Did anyone assess performance slowdown on iPad after iOS5 upgrading?
...especially refering to the panel responsiveness within Safari!... any troubleshooting feasible? Thank you!

My iPad 2 feels snappier overall - there are a couple apps that haven't been updated for iOS 5 that exhibit problems though. My wife's iPad 1 seems about the same or a bit faster depending on what she's doing - and of course has the same issues with some apps that need upgrading.
So far the only downside I can see to upgrading is that I've taken a small hit on the battery due to the improved notifications mostly, I think. By small I mean at the very end of the day when I connect it to my alarm dock, it has just over 20% instead of the more usual 25-30% charge left

Ipad1 is extremely, painfully slow after ios5 upgrade. Is there a fix?

Is there any fix for the awfully slow performance of iPad1 after ios5 upgrade? Mine is sometimes so slow it's impossible to use. Thanks

Mine is slower, but it's still useable. There is a update for battery draining due in a few weeks, though I don't know whether it will contain other fixes as well : http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-15570462
You could try closing all apps completely and then do a reset and see if that helps. To close all apps : 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.
To reset : 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.
I've also seen a couple of posts recommending turning off iCloud (which I haven't tried yet).

Cannot restore from back-up after iOS5 upgrade

First try to restore after upgrade (original uppgrade process) iTunes said last available backup was time-stamped 11.34 but when chosen it was not accessible due to error 32 Backup missing.
Trying to reset the unit to gain access to older backups iTunes claims my password for the backup is incorrect even though I know it's correct, thus I cannot resore after iOS5 upgrade.
Looking in the folder (win XP machine) where the back-ups are stored it seems like there are no older backup available and my whole pic and vid library is gone! 2.5 yrs of images of my children!!!
What to do?

Sounds similar to my issue, I know my password is correct, even changed password in hopes that perhaps I was making a mistake, yet I wasn't. I backed up all my pix on an alternate computer, but my issue was that I used the voice memo recorder to record songs on the fly when I'm not at home, or just too lazy to hook up my studio gear. . . All that was backed up. . . yet, I'm told I'm entering the wrong password, I know it's not, but I guess I don't know how to type. . . I haven't searched for backup files in any location, other than looking to see if my pix were backing up as it quit syncing pix a couple months ago. No pix were backed up, so I plugged into a different computer, and that pc took em just fine.

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?

Apps won't work after iOS5 upgrade

After iOS5 upgrade, I cant start any apps but Apples own on my iPhone 4. What should I do?

Make sure you're signed into iTunes with your original Apple ID (the one that you used to purchase the apps)
Then Sync (and make sure 'Sync Apps' is checked)

Storage capacity after iOs 5.0.1?

Hi everyone, I updated my iPod touch 4, 64g model with iOs 5, the battery life *****, and noticed that the disk capacity diminished from 59 to 58 gigs (this doesn't include the ''other'' folder) I mean the overall storage capacity of the ipod. Should I update to iOs 5.0.1? for battery life, is it really worth it? And another question is what's the real storage capacity after iOs 5.0.1? I hope some of you guys who have already updated your ipod 4 64g can help me decide. What's your experience? Should I do the OTA update or over iTunes?
Thanks!!!

Ipad2 wakes up to a blank screen after iOS5 upgrade

I have noticed two peculiar issues after iOS5 upgrade. My ipad2 screen awakens to a blank black screen after password input; this only happens when an app or a program was open when it locks. I have to close and reopen the cover and reenter password to get to the usual screen.
Additionally I have noticed the icons for several of my iapps become invisible, the name of the icon is visible and the app/program opens up if I click on the name
any suggestions?
thx

I had a similar thing on an old MacBook Pro where if I closed the lid, then reopened it before the sleep cycle took over, it would have a blank screen. I had to close the lid until the power light pulsed, then it would wake normally.
Any similarities?

Can I upgrade my storage capacity after buying an ipad

If I were to buy an Ipad mini with 16GB and later I decided I need more storage, would I be able to upgrade to a larger storage capacity?

There are some wireless external hard drives that can be used with the iPad.

ITunes refusing to sync (wrongly thinks it is over capacity) after iOS5 update

After updating my iPhone 3GS to iOS5, I started running into a problem (actually many problems like broken 3G internet but not directly related and I fixed those).
What lead to my current sync problem was initially a "An error occurred while restoring this iPhone. (-34)" infinite loop, described in other posts here as a common issue after iOS upgrades going back years (good job Apple). Out of frustration and to get out of it I ended up deleting my backup, which solved the loop but has now left me unable to sync.
According to iTunes, my phone has no music on it, but in fact it has 22 GB of content (out of 28 capacity). I figured since it thinks the phone is empty I'd just resync everything (a very long process, but until I do it I won't be able to sync at all) but after applying my selection for synching (specific playlists, 128 kbps AAC encoding, etc) iTunes fails to sync and tells me my selections require another 15 GB of space, even though the capacity bar for my selection says 22 out of 28 GB used (which is exactly what the bar said before I updated to iOS 5). What these numbers suggest to me is that even though iTunes doesn't recognize my music as still being on my phone, the sync process itself does and is trying to copy 21 GB of data into 6 GB of free space, resulting in the -15 GB error).
Can I make it recognize those files as already being there (to save myself having to copy them again) and if not how can I have iTunes clear files it doesn't report as being present? Preferably without wiping everything else that's on my phone, such as text message history etc.

After ios5 upgrade cant get out to the internet via wireless, it wont get past our Smart Filter (web filter)

I just upgraded my 3GS to IOS5, and now at work when i am connected to our WiFi I can no longer get out to the internet.
A little back story on how it worked prior to ios5:
I would connect via wireless, and then load Safari and type in a webpage I wanted to go to. A pop up box would come up, to authenticate me on our Web filter server (Running Smartfilter), I woudl enter my regular Active Directory username and Password and boom, i could then surf to my hearts content.
After the upgrade, I connect to the wireless, load Safari, type in the webpage i want to go to, and the progress bar moves abotu 3mm and then stops, I never get the smart filter prompt.
I have tried a full reset on the phone, forget network, reset all network settings, I even tried putting in the IP address of the smart filter box as a proxy and still it doesnt work. I have gone to smartfilters website to see if anyone else has posted there, or if there was a clue as to why it doesnt work, but nothing so far.
anyone else having this problem? any ideas?
If it wasnt broken, why would apple mess with it! a LOT of companies run smartfilter as well as other web filters. I thought apple was trying to seduce corporate customers, and so far a lot of poeple are dissapointed that they cant get to the internet.
tha
nks in advance for any assistance.
j

I am having the same problem. The issue also occurs with Safari on Mac OS 10.7. I work for a school and I am sure that other schools are using smartfilter too.

Bluetooth issue after IOS5 upgrade

I just upgraded from IOS4 to IOS5 on iPhone 4. With IOS4, my contacts are sorted and displayed as LAST, FIRST both on the phone and on the car display (BMW 328i). After the IOS5 upgrade, the contacts are still displayed LAST, FIRST on the phone but FIRST, LAST on the car display. Outgoing calls placed from the phone show up as ******* on the car display, but outgoing calls placed from the car menu show the correct (albeit LAST, FIRST) name on the phone.
Nothing changed with the car's bluetooth setup.
I've seen similar posts - is this just an IOS5 bug?
I will try pairing the phone and car again, and reverse the phone's sort order to FIRST, LAST to see if that makes a difference.

I have a Bmw 5 series, afer the switch to IOS 5 the bluetooth in my iphone 4 stopped working,it si ply does not recognise other bluetooth devices or the car.
Will apple issue an updeto IOS 5 ? Orwill BMW update the car's software?
Is there a way to returning to IOS 4? ios 5 is nice but not spectacular, having bluetooth in working order is essential. Shame on Apple, becoming mre like microsoft, releaing software with important bugs.

Can't restore my music and apps after ios5 upgrade on 3GS

I have an ipone 3GS 16 GB and a Macbook pro 13''. I did the ios5-upgrade yesterday, which worked fine but the sync didn't work through. All my Apps are empty although I see their pics and there's no music at all, only the recent potos available, no albums. I tried the sync several times, nothing different, it always shut down at the end of preparations for sync. I shut the pone down and restarted it new, no change. So, what happened, how can I make the complete sync happen?

Hi,
thanks for your recommendations, but I solved the problem Thing was ONE photo file, which is probably corrupted and led to shutting down the sync. So I first skipped the 'latest entrys for the last 12 month' photos and all the other photo files during syncing and then added one file after another and finally found the one which had gone bad. So I'm going to delete this one and everything should work fine the next time (hopefully) ....
