Upgrade Questions to iOS5?

So I got my new iPod for christmas and it came with 4.3 firmware and I wanted iOS5. So I went to iTunes and downloaded the software three times and ALL three times it would fail right before installing. So being me I went out to Google and found a iOS5 firmware download for iPod Touch so all I would have to do is Shift + Restore. That worked perfectly. The problem is, My device is laggy. The music player is especially bad: When I go into cover flow and come out, the springboard will reset. This happens everytime. Unlocking the device to the music app is also slow and sometimes causes the ap to force quit.YouTube is slow to load and so is the video. WiFi connectivity is ridiculously slow. My 2nd Gen iPod will connect faster.
Can someone tell me what the problem is!? No I have NOT jailbroken. This is a brand new device and I intend to keep it that way. What should I do?
-Thanks for the help.

    i bought my iphone 4 about a year ago and just decided to upgrade it to ios5 just recently. My phone restored to to its factory settings and when I clicked continue restore from back up it is now asking a backup password which i dont remember setting up one. I am currently using a windows vista PC. How can I retrieve the password or restore all my old data into the new OS. I have been reading blogs about the same situation and is it true that it is one of apple's bugs?

    It is NOT a bug.  You provided a password.  If you can't remember it, you can't restore your phone from backup.  Very simple.

  • Security upgrade question - Getting 6.1.6 downloaded to iphone.

    Security upgrade question - I have a 4S phone v6.01 with an upgrade to IOS 7.04 already downloaded and ready for install.  I would like to install the 6.1.6 security upgrade instead. How do I delete the ios7 in the queue or have the 6.1.1 pushed as an option to the phone?

    You can't install iOS 6.1.6 on that device and must update it to 7.0.6.

    How long are you leaving it on the charger?
    Are you connecting it directly to an electrical outlet or trying to charge via USB?  USB may not provide enough power to adequately charge the device if the battery is that low.
    If none of that helps, then the only option would be a warranty replacement as either the battery or system board is bad.

    You cannot do that until you upgrade to iOS 5 or later. See:

    you can't update to iOS 5.  You can only update to the latest version available for your device, which for the 3GS is iOS 6.
    Connect to computer
    Launch iTunes
    Click Update button

  • I upgraded to the ios5 on my ipad 2 and now all my Notes, Numbers and keynote and goodreader files are gone. Did they back up? If so where?

    I upgraded to the ios5 on my ipad 2 and now all my Notes, Numbers, keynote and goodreader files are gone. Did they back up? If so where? Any help is greatly appreciated.

    that happens for people who used icloud for everything but contacts. When they updated and went through initial
    set up, signing into cloud enabled everything including cloud for contacts. Since they had zero contacts in cloud, cloud cleaned out their contacts, but synced everything else that icloud has, like calendars, reminders etc. If those contacts were never backed up anywhere - they gone. If there is back up in cloud, it needs to be restored.
    Contacts sync in the cloud need to be turned off, right after restore.

  • Upgraded 3gs to iOS5 and can't receive texts?

    I, like many other people, upgraded to the iOS5 and I have been getting that warning that my SMS mailbox is full and to delete messages in order to receive new ones. Tried that. Didn't work. I also tried resetting all system settings. That didn't work. I have read that with the iOS5 you are only allowed storage of 75,000 text messages. I have also read that this has worked for some people and hasn't worked at all for others. Is this the actual fix or is this SMS thing a glitch with the iOs5?? ... Half of the allure of the iphone was not having to monitor the build up of my text messages and the ability to save decades of text conversations. If this can't be fixed I might be moving away from the iPhone. .. Anyways, if anyone knows what to do please let me know! Thanks.

    75,000 is the new limit on the SMS inbox. Your only real choice is to delete messages.
    I spent an hour and a half on the phone with Apple support yesterday. They were apologetic but confirmed that that was the new limit.
    I had text "conversations" dating back 2-plus years with tens of thousands of messages. I didn't like deleting them but ultimately my choice was to delete, wait for a fix/update, downgrade to iOS 4-something, or text only the friends that used iMessage. I deleted but first I spent $20 on a third party app called PhoneView and saved conversations before deleting them from the iPhone permanently. It's actually a pretty cool app.
    Now, how do I get a green-checkmark-dialog bubble for "correct answer"?

  • I have an upgrade question. I received a notification when I connected my computer to the internet that Lightroom 5.7.1 was available

    I have an upgrade question. I received a notification when I connected my computer to the internet that Lightroom 5.7.1 was available it included HDR & Panoramic photo merge. I cant find these. Where do I find them.

    well that was a big waste of my time & data allowance then ...
    I live in a flaky slow internet area & I keep my photo edit machine off the internet unless & want to update something. CC is no use to me & that useless update just used up a 12th of my allowance for the year ...

  • Another RAM upgrade question

    Hi everyone,
    I know there seems to be lots of RAM upgrade questions here but hey thats what forums are for.
    I'm looking to upgrade my macbook's RAM it's currently got 2GB (2x1GB)
    Is it possible to purchase 1x4GB and put that with one of my current 1GB sticks to create a total of 5GB?
    I would be interested to know if this is possible or if anyone has tried it.
    Thanks in advance
    Scott

    This will work if your MacBook is late '07 or newer.

  • 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.  
    Regards.

  • Can I upgrade diretcly from iOS5 to iOS7?

    I'm currently running iOS5 on an iPhone 4, and I'm planning to buy an iPhone 5S as soon as they're available. Will I be able to use my current iOS5 backup to upgrade directly to iOS7?
    Thanks,
    Jeff

    The only question he asked was this.  Whether or not he gets the iPhone 5S is completely irrelevant to the actual question, regarding going from iOS 5 to iOS 7.
    The iPhone 5S will NEVER have iOS 5 on it.

  • Quick upgrading question...will give points to first helpful person

    I have never upgraded my iphone before (crazy I know). My version is 4.2.8.
    Here are my questions:
    Is it ok to download the firmware for ios5 directly, bypassing the consecutive upgrades? Or do I need to go through each consecutive upgrade file, until I reach ios5? Also, should I just go for ios6?
    Thanks for any input!
    Hannah

    You can only go to the highest iOS that is available. After Apple releases new software, they stop signing off on the older one and it cannot be installed. If you try and update your phone, it will go straight to iOS6.
    I have no issues with iOS 6 in a house of 4 iPhones.
