Trouble updating to ios5

I plugged my iphone4 into itunes before bed to update to the new ios5 and nearly 5 hours later itunes is still "backing up" my phone and is on stage 1. I unplugged the phone obviously there is a problem.
I also tried to update earlier tonight and the same thing happened. So far nothing has been deleted on my phone and is in the same state as when i first plugged it in.
I am currently updating on a computer which has all my music (desktop) my laptop sync's my calendar and apps.
I have not dared to update on my laptop since apple suggests that I update my on my desktop.

It appears you realyy have a 2G iPod. Those can only go to iOS 4.2.1. If yours is a 8 or 16 GB model it is a 2G. A 32 GB can be either. To identify yours see:

After updating to iOs5 I'm having a lot of trouble with receiving and making phone calls

After updating to iOs5 I'm not able anymore to receive and make normal phone calls. This is very frustrating: when somebody calls me they have signal but my iPhone 4 doesn't make any sound or anything and when I try to make a call I don't hear any signal while phone rings at the other side. Sometimes if I turn the phone off and on again things go better but problem is still there. What should I do?

we have the same problem, no solutions received until now!

Mails gone after update to iOS5....

I have updated to ios5 but now all my mails are gone, they were apparently not synchronized when updating... Someone knows how to restore them? I had mails on my iPad that were not on my Mac... So I'm a bit troubled... ;)

That depends on what made them disappear. The backup in iTunes 10.5 does not include your apps. Instead, the apps (and all other iTunes purchases) are automatically re-installed after the upgrade is completed.
First, be sure you have signed into iTunes on your computer with the correct Apple ID (the one you used to make your iTunes app purchases).
If you go to the App Store on your iPhone, go to the Updates "tab" at the bottom, and then tap on "Purchased," do you see a list of all of your apps?
If you see your apps under "Purchased," it may be easiest to reinstall them all manually by tapping the cloud icon to the right of each app in the list. Otherwise, you can try restoring from backup again, making sure you are logged into the correct iTunes account when doing so. Also follow the instructions on your iPhone carefully after restoring, being sure to read all of the options. Choosing the incorrect one may have caused this problem.
If you do NOT see your apps under "Purchased," go to the Settings app, go to Store, and check that you signed in with the correct Apple ID. It will be shown at the bottom. Touching the Apple ID item on that page will let you Sign Out and Sign In with the correct ID if that is the case.

Trying to install iTunes 10.5 but wont install and it just seems to hang for several hours and do nothing. Need help cos otherwise I cant update to iOS5 on my Iphone 4. Thx

I have tried many times today to install iTunes 10.5 in order to update to iOS5 on my Iphone 4 however it just wont work. I have a MacBook Pro and when I use the software update it says that I have already downloaded iTunes 10.5 but when I go to install it and it says it is writing the files and the bluw bar is working its way across the page and then becomes very very slow and and at the last millimetre it seems to just hang there and do nothing. I even left if like this for several hours and nothing progressed. I have since tried to update via the iTunes program and the same problem happens. Any and all help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Rick,
by "repair" I mean I went to the control panel, option - programs and features, and in the list of all my installed programs I selected "Apple Software Update". On top of the screen you find the options Uinstall, Change and Repair. I clicked the repair button and that did the trick. After the repair I could uninstall the program. I also uninstalled iTunes, Apple Application Support, Apple Mobile Device Support en Bonjour, thus all Apple programs. Then I installed iTunes 10.5 again and everything went fine.
Success,
Peter

Since updating to IOS5 my voice memos won't sync from iPhone4 to iTunes (macbook).

Since updating to IOS5 my voice memos won't sync from iPhone4 to iTunes (macbook). They show in my iTunes but are grey so can't click on them. I need to put voice memos on a CD. Can someone help please?

First of all what PC type do you have, then what IOS are you running and finally what Itunes are you running.
Oh and if this helps, check it out how to upload voice memos from iphone to iMac.
Kind regards,

My iphone3gs was prompted to update to ios5. It gets almost to the end of the update then gives me error 1. I can't use my phone at all. I've tried to restore it but nothing. I've taken it into an electronic shop in which they tried to update and couldn't

I've looked on-line and it seems that many people are having the same problems. No, it's not my Internet connection or my computer. This is a software problem as my phone was working fine before it made me update and I've heard the same story over and over again. The update to ios5 messed up my phone. Now Apple should fix it. I can't restore my phone, just gets to the end then quits. It says " iTunes recognizes a phone in recovery mode" so it is being detected. I've tried this on many different computers, at different locations, through a wireless connection and connected directly. Please fix. This happened in Oct or Nov, 2011 when the ios5 update came out.

Sounds like your phone was previously jailbroken.

When I try to update to iOS5, iTunes gets stuck on "Backing Up" its been there for hours and it barely moves

When I try to update to iOS5, iTunes gets stuck on "Backing Up" its been there for hours and it barely moves. It finished backing up one then it went to a "Extracting Software" on the iTunes status bar up top and then it gave me an error saying something along the lines of "There was an error with the server" and back to square 1. Ive been trying since the morning and same problem. Always stuck on the backup, help?

You may have lost your connection to the apple server or connection with your itunes library.
1) You will need to shutdown Itunes and disconnect your iphone from the USB cable.
2) Reconnect your Iphone to the usb cable, wait for the device to be recognised and or drivers to be installed.
3) once all ok, your itunes should automatically open up/connect (if you have this setting set on), otherwise double click your itunes icon on your desktop.
4) once all sychronised and connected. go to Summary tab and UPDATE your iphone again.
Hope this works for you, as this happend to me and tried the above steps and wala!!! all good.
If the above still fails, restart your pc/apple and turn off/on your modem and then try again.
this normally happens if your connection from your device to the itunes hangs or looses its connection, or have a bad connection to the internet / apple server.
in windows the RPC Locator is normally the cause of this, in apple i have no idea (as im not an apply user).
Give it a shot!
if this helps you and works ...why not rep/like my response up!

Have you tried doing a Restore?
For some problems the solution is to download & reinstall iTunes.

I have to sign in and out between one and the other constantly and i dont know what to do anymore becouse now i can't update software on either, it keeps on poping up "To update this application, sign in to the account you used to purchase it." and im pretty sure im on the right account.

Sorry. Apple's policy states that accounts cannot be merged > Frequently asked questions about Apple ID

Before I updated to ios5 there was a "number" on the task bar next to bookmarks showing all the windows I like to keep open. Now I can't find the setting to go back to that feature. Help!! I just want to be able to click on the number to get to my windows

Before I updated to ios5 there was a number lit up on the task bar (next to bookmarks) which were all the windows I like to keep open. Now, after updating I can't find that feature in settings. I don't like all the different tabs along the top. Can anyone help me please?? I just want to click on the number and have all of my open windows there!

I don't think that is an option. iOS 5 new features is tabbed browsing, it replaced the old window interface.

TS4006 Hi I am having trouble updating my apps I have tried one at a time and all together but they just will not load any ideas would be appreciated

Hi, I am having trouble updating my apps, I have tried one at time and all together but they just keep on whirring away and nothing happens! any ideas woud be appreciated.

Suggest you update all these apps on iTune (computer) and sync them to your iPad.

When updating to IOS5 restore did not complete and now it is asking for a password to carry on restoring back up and I can't remember password! Would appreciate any help?

Whilst updating to IOS5 on my iphone 4 it was interrupted whilst restoring the contents of my iphone!!! Now when I try and restore it asks for a password to unlock my iphone backups - I have tried several but it states password is incorrect and accordingly I cannot restore backups and have lost loads of important information!!
I would really appreciate your suggestions on what to do.
Many thanks

Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased. Some glitch occured and you have to restore/erse the iPod. Y will have to restore from an existing backup if y ohave one.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: How to back up
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

Since updating to iOS5 my iPad 2 will not sync

My iPad 2 will not be recognized by iTunes or my laptop after updating to iOS5 last night. It worked fine in the past. I have performed all the suggestions from apple and it still will not work. Any ideas?

Griff W, If Sassysoo7's problem is anything like mine (it sounds almost exactly like the problem I posted in my own thread a couple days ago except mine is iPad only; iPhone is fine) none of those articles/solutions/suggestions you and others have linked to will work; I've been trying them for days and nothing works. As said, I posted about this in my own thread and several others and nothing anyone has suggested has helped. I know my Apple ID and password are correct, they work everywhere else.
When is Apple going to acknowledge this bug/problem and fix it??
