Upgrade iphone4 to IOS5 from itunes

I ticked "do not ask again" to the Upgrade to IOS5 - and I didn't mean to. Does anyone know how I can get that option back in itunes?
Or how else can upgrade my iphone4 and ipad1 to the new operating system?

you need to upgrade iTunes first. go to iTunes.com and download 10.5
after that, then run iTunes, plug in your device and click 'check for update'

HT4972 how to upgrade iphone4 to iOS5.1 already downloaded to my G drive?

how to upgrade iphone4 to iOS5.1 already downloaded to my G drive?

You can select and install the file it by Shift-clicking the Update button in iTunes and choosing the downloaded file. I presume you download directly from Apple's servers, yes? If you downloaded from any other location, do not install that file; it cannot be trusted.
Note that you cannot install a version earlier than the one already on your iPhone, though. If your iPhone has iOS 5.1.1 as your profile indicated, you cannot put iOS 5.1 on that iPhone.

After APTV and itunes upgrade on mac, streaming from itunes to Apple TV is very slow.

After APTV and itunes upgrade on mac to latest on 02/15, streaming from itunes to Apple TV is very slow. even 5 mins song takes 10-15 mins to start. Netflix/Youtube work fine on Apple TV. restarted Mac, router, modem, appletv. reset Appletv to factory setting and re-start.

Apple TV 2 does not appear in iTunes (exception being when connected via micro-usb for restore) as it has no sync capabilities.
See if this helps

After I upgraded iPhone4 to iOS5.0.1, the iPhone screen was shown a picture which request me to connect it to iTunes. I can do nothing on my phone includes dialing emergency call.

After I upgraded my iPhone4 to iOS 5.0.1, the iPhone screen was locked and it has shown a picture which requested me to connect my iPhone to iTunes. My iPhone can do nothing now.
I've tried to deleted my iTunes and downloaded the latest version. However, when I plugged in my iPhone4, the plug-in sound is different from before and it cannot be detected by iTunes.
Please kindly help.

So whenever you plug the iPhone into the USB port your computer doesn't recognize it???? At all?? Can you check on the hardware of your pc if by any chance is the USB being detected; like it will appear and then diss connect from the pc, just to check and make sure that something is changing, of nothing occurs I will doubt on the cable, you can get one and then return it if it's not the case.
If it is detected then did you backup the iPhone? If so you may need to rollback the change.
Please try!
Good luck

After ios5 upgrade - everything is missing from ITunes

I upgraded my Iphone and Ipad yesterday with the usual challenges. Here is my problem: I have a shared ITunes account with my husband for his IPad. I have not upgraded my husband's IPad yet and will hold from doing so until I can resolve this problem. I used my MobileMe account for ICloud and synced everything there just fine. This evening I went to purchase a couple of new songs and realized all the music, apps and TV shows were completely gone from my shared ITunes account.
Everything I read online said you could keep the shared ITunes account, but to set up separate ICloud accounts to keep calendars and contacts separate.
Where are all my music, apps and TV shows that were in my shared ITunes account? Any insights and suggestions on to fix this problem would be greatly appreciated.

Hello ericservo,
Thanks for the question. The following article outlines symptoms of an empty library after updating:

Upgraded iphone4 to ios5, lost contacts, help!

Just upgraded my iPhone 4 to iOS5 and now all of my contacts on my phone are gone, not good.
"Just plug in your phone and let oTunes do the rest" they said. Can I please get my contacts back?

You need to turn off synching through the iCloud and synch through iTunes to your Outlook of Address Book however this will still leave you with linked/duplicate contact cards in your phone and your favorites contacts in the phone as well as all caller id photos etc. will be linked to the old contacts. In order to get rid of those contacts what I did was added the simple change to the contacts I synched from the computer (I added an exclamation point to the notes sections). Then synch to your iPhone through iTunes not through the iCloud, then search your iPhone for the first contact name you have in your list. You will see this will bring up 2 contacts for the same person. Select either contact then hit the back button. You will then be in the contact list but you will see in this work around there will be 2 contacts listed for everyone. Select the contact card and then delete it that does not have the added change so you can tell what is new and old. This will leave you with the new contact cards and remove the corrupted/lost contacts. You will lastly need to turn on the iCloud synch and either leave or remove those changes you made (like my exclamation points) from your new contacts. This is a pain in the tail but the only way I was able to completely fix the issue.
Good luck!

Download error when I try to download ios5 from itunes

ios5 downloads until the file is updated and then it causes an error message, says my network connection timed out, which is inaccurate! What can I do to install ios5?

THIS WAS COPIED FROM A THREAD THAT WORKED FOR ME SO I CAN'T TAKE THE CREDIT
Open notepad as administrator, and direct yourself to:
C:\Windows\System32\Drivers\etc
open the "Hosts" file:
note the "127.0.0.1 gs.apple.com" portion near the bottom. your hosts may be different, and if so, then look for that part specifically. the problem for me, lied within the fact that just before the "127.0.0.1 gs.apple.com" part, there originally was no hash(#) with the space like the rest of the hosts file. This was all I had to fix. After editing and then SAVING the hosts file in notepad I restarted iTunes and the update went through without a hitch!
so if you do not see the hash and space before the "127.0.0.1 gs.apple.com" part, all you have to do is put the #, and then press tab! I hope this works for some of you guys! So just to be clear, that particular line in the file should look like:
# 127.0.0.1 gs.apple.com
good luck!

I upgraded my iPhone 4 from iTunes to 5.0.1. Now everything is gone; photos, contacts, all gone. It has been restored to factory defaults. All I did was push the button to download and install. How can a programmed upgrade to this? Is there any way to

Is there anyway to restore back to where I started? I just downloaded and upgraded, hands off. But it looks like the phone has been set to factory defaluts. I saw a message to that effect but then the process continued and I thought it was restoring my data. Am I in the tank?

The first time an iPhone is connected to iTunes that is used to sync with another iPhone or iOS device, you are prompted to transfer the backup for the other iPhone or iOS device or to set up the iPhone as a new iPhone.
The former does as provided - it transfers the backup for the other iPhone or iOS device to the iPhone replacing all data on the iPhone that is included with the backup being transferred. The latter does nothing allowing you to make your various selections for the iPhone sync preferences with iTunes.
This is designed to be done right away with a new iPhone.
If you don't have a backup for the iPhone with iTunes on your computer and don't have an iCloud backup that hasn't been updated since choosing to transfer the backup for your iPod Touch to the iPhone, the data that was on the iPhone is gone.

After upgrade iphone4 to ios5 cannot find contacts in iphone.

I can't either.

Cannot upgrade 3gs to ios5? Itunes does not recognize the update, any suggestions?

Using Windows 7 and itunes will not recognize the ios5 update? States that the version 4.2.1 it the most current software update? Any suggestions?

Do you have the compass app on your phone? If you press and hold the home button do you get voice control? I'm betting the answer to both of these questions is no.
You have an iPhone 3G. NOT a 3Gs. You can not install iOS 5.

Upgraded iPhone4 to ios5 and no longer have a Safari.

How do I get my Safari Icon Back? I've done a revert, then allowed iTunes to reinstall my backed up image, I still don't have Safari. I DON'T want to revert and then spend the endless hours reinstalling applications, music..etc over what I though would be part of the Core iOS.

WOW...thanks. I completely misread Dave Sawyers note. I've never used restrictions so I never new this type of feature existed. And I knew Safari was part of Core iOS, which is why it was frustrating to me.
Thanks AGAIN!

I lost my Visual Voicemail when upgrading to iphone 5. New phone was set up from itunes backup of iphone4 but my Mac tells me there is an iCloud back up of my phone prior to this date. Will my Vis Voicemail be on this and can I get it on my new phone?

I see. Apple's documentation on what is included in the iCloud backup doesn't explicitly say that it contains voicemails, but that doesn't mean it does not. You would just have to try restoring the backup to find out.
To restore to your iCoud backup you have to start by erasing the phone. Go to Settings>General>Reset and tap Erase All Content and Settings. Then go through the setup screens on the phone and when given the option, choose Restore from iCloud backup. You will then sign into your iCloud account, accept the terms and conditions, then choose the backup you wish to restore from. To see an older backup, you may need to tap "Show older backups" (see image below). Be sure your phone is connected to wifi and your charger as this may take some time to finish.
If this does not recover your voicemails, you can check to see if you have an older iTunes backup that may contain them. Available backups are shown in iTunes Preferences>Devices on the Backups list.
If all else fails, you could try contacting your carrier. Voicemail is a carrier feature and they may have an archive you could access.

I upgraded from an iPhone2 to an iPhone4s now I can't sync the ringtones from music that I purchased from itunes to correspond with my contacts. How can I get it where I know who is calling from the ringtones I used to have?

I upgraded from an iPhone2 to an iPhone4s and now my ringtones are gone. I still have the music that I bought from iTunes that I made the ringtones from but I can't seem to get anything to work. Help! Thanks.
