Updating Iphone4 to ios5

Updated to the newest version of iTunes, I hook up my iPhone. I downloaded the new operating system but when backing up my iPhone to prepare it for the update, nothing happens. It stays on the "backing up" bar for like an hour. What do I do?

Updated iphone4 to ios5 - get Device not supported for icloud - worked fine for other iphone4

Updated iphone4 to ios5 - get "Device Not Supported" message - worked fine for other iphone4 & ipad. Why is this iphone "not qualified for icloud"?

Try a reset. Press & hold the Power and Home buttons simultaneously, ignoring the red power off slider, until the Apple logo appears. Then release both buttons. This should not affect any content on the iPad, it is similar to rebooting your computer.

Updating iphone4 with ios5: having problems

I was trying to update my wife's iphone4 to ios5;
the phone now says configure, with options of:
set it up as a new phone
restore from itunes backup
I selected the backup option but it just hangs saying connect to itunes and does not proceed any further (even though it is connected to itunes).
It keeps syncing and then does nothing
Could someone help please?
Thanks

Updating iPhone4 to ios5 = deleting older voicemails

If updating your iPhone4 to ios5 deletes all your voicemails older than 30 days, shouldn't Apple at least warn you that this will happen so you can retrieve any pertinent info before the messages are deleted????

Cant update iphone4 to ios5

Just updated iphone4 to ios5, now apps won't open, they blink once but won't run

After updating to ios5 on my iphone4 I cannot open apps, for instance, facebook, twitter, pandora, etc., when I touch them to open they blink once and the screen returns to normal. Safari and the like operate. ???

So i guess what's not working is the notification center. I swiped it and saw it but it's not showing the phone call or email that just came in. just the weather update! On my friend's phone who had upgraded she had a little bar across the top that was always there with current notifications. Mine doesn't do that. Any suggestions?

All My Contacts have gone after updating iphone4 to ios5

So i decided to move with the times and finally update my iphone as some apps would no longer work without updating to ios5.
Everything is in my phone apps, music, calenders, notes emails but the contacts have all gone. I have tried to restore my iphone through itunes but this hasnt worked i only had one restore option available which was a sync that was completed after my contacts were gone from the update.
I now realise how stupid this was to never have uploaded my contacts to so sort of app but to be honest i never gave it a second thought. Is there anywhere i can get my contacts from or are ther lost forever????
please have some magic fix for me
Pete

I've lost mine, too. However, I've found that they're all there if I go in via the phone. The contacts app just shows "no contacts". When searching from other apps (such as Reminders), it doesn't find anything, but spotlight finds them.

After updating iPhone4 to IOS5

After I had updated my iPhone4 to the IOS 5, the zoom option on my camera will not show up at all. Is there a way to get it back?

Thank you! I had figured I just needed to double tap, like before the whole time. Thanks for your help Natalie!

Update IPhone4 to iOS5: iTunes freezes.

I decided finally to update my iphone 4 to iOS 5. And surprise, iTunes hangs up during the process while displaying message "Downloading Safari safe browsing data". If I force quit, the phone seems more or less ok, but it still hangs during the sync.
Restoring phone to factory settings does not help - nothing changes, iTunes freezes.

Same here: looks like it was going to work, but it didn't. All apps appear 'waiting' to download, but nothing appears. If I then sync again. all these apps disappear and I'm left only with the out-of-the-box apps. I've restored and tried again 3 times with the same results. BUT! Finally got it to work....some of these steps might not be needed, but this is what I did:
I had originally had my stuff synced to iTunes on my XP machine and was trying the update and sync from there.
I went to my Windows 7 PC, started up iTunes, and removed all apps. I then went to the windows folders and deleted all the apps and all the backups form the windows 7 machine. I also made sure that itunes was configured to not start the sync automatically so that I could control when the sync happened.
I copied all the apps from my windows XP PC to the windows 7 machine and got them into iTunes. I copied the backup folder from the XP machine to the windows 7 machine (The backup was from the ipad from version 4.33 before I started the update, and I made sure to rename the folder so future backups did not overwrite it.)
I plugged the ipad into the windows 7 machine and started iTunes. I used the update feature and it downloaded a fresh copy of iOS5, and installed it.
After the iOS 5 update, I told it to set up the ipad using the 4.33 backup that I copied from the XP computer. Everything appeared as normal. I went through the ipad config steps waited for a few hours for all the apps to download again. My settings and customizations were all intact.
Then I told iTunes to sync apps. All my apps and my menu layouts appeared in iTunes. And it's been working great ever since.
So I'm not sure if it was a problem with my XP machine, but I'm happy this problem is resolved. So if you have an intact backup, maybe try copying your backup to another machine and re-doing the upgrade from there?
Hope that helps.

Did you try to reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comes back again? You will not lose data doing a reset.
If this does not work, set it up again as new device, without using the latest backup afterwards.

I have taken it back to the Apple store genius bar, but they say they don't see anything wrong. Well unless you use it all day and experience the problems when they happen, you wont see anything wrong. But there are lots wrong with it. But this would be the same store as I purchased the phone. And they backed up my old Iphone 4, but were not able to get anything to load back onto my new phone. So, I lost pretty much everything. But over time, some of my contacts have started showing up, although i am still missing over 800 of them.

I have 10.5.8 and i'd like to update to Lion but I haven't the app store avaiable to my sistem and I can find the atualization. At the software update doesn't have any atualization... I updated my iphone4 to IOS5 and having problems to use ICloud

As Retired Engineer indicated, you will need to install Snow Leopard first. After you install Snow Leopard, you need to go into Software Update and perform the updates. 10.6.6 will install the App Store. You should continue to update to 10.6.8 before purchasing and installing Lion from the App Store.
Be sure your machine meets the minimum requirements. Basically, any Mac with a Core 2 Duo processor or later and at least 2GB of RAM (but 4 is highly recommended). If you have a first generation MacBook Pro with a Core Duo, you will not be able to upgrade to Lion.
