Unprecedented Demand For iOS 5 And iCloud Almost Broke The Internet - How Did It Go For You?
Yesterday was probably Apple's biggest days when it comes to software launches with the release of iCloud - its new cloud based services and iOS 5 - its next generation mobile operating system.
Unfortunately, it also meant that there was unprecedented interest from users to download iOS 5 and migrate from MobileMe to iCloud services.

****, P2P based download of firmware would couse much less problems with speed and etc.

Thats why I downloaded the gm seed two nights before the official release, so I wont have to deal with this stuff. And the gm seed IS the shipping version of ups.. Soooo... Yea...

I didn't have a problem getting the iOS update (though i had to put my iTouch into recovery mode in order to upgrade due to my previous jailbreak) it downloaded just finemy problem was downloading the mac 1.7.2 update and the recovery partition update, they kept timing out on me in software update
-
Yeah that icloud sh@t is not working for me either. I've been trying to set that up since 7am eastern time. With no luck. I can set it up on itunes but on the iphone4 no luck. just says try again later. I keep hearing that same theme song.....Here we go Again!!!!on our own......

edit: 10.7.2 update
-
I tried early in the afternoon and had problems with different error messages and called Apple 3 times. On the fourth call the tech new exactly the problem. It was overload. So I waited until late at night and upgraded with no problems.
-
I tried all day yesterday to merge mobileme to icloud. Finally worked around 2am eastern this morning
-
Not any problems whatsoever.
-
I didn't had trouble at all to update to ios5. It's very intersted if there wes more users that have problems then users that havn't.

All I keep getting on my iPad is This device isn't eligible for the requested build. I've reset the iPad from instructions from Apple Tech support and it still doesn't update.
-
Ok enough, is enough. Nothing is happening, it is 2:35pm east.time with no luck on iCLOUD syncing. i will wait now until tomorrow. You know im not even surprised this is happening like common its Apple, should of known by now. Thanx Apple.

I had a **** of a time! Either from error message (-48) when backing up my phone. To error message 3200 right after it extracted the files when it tried to update. But finally around 111pm central last night I got it

Hello to all. Great Features!!!! But I dont seem to find a way to put the camera short cut on the lock screen to my iphone 4 after installing ios5.... any clues? Ty
-
double press the home button while the phone is locked.
-
Great Ty much!
-
had like 10 unpleasant encounters with the 3200, but at the end it let me pass and now im in the Cloud ;)
-
Well this was a major software update after 18 months.
-
Didn't Apple learn anything from the MM launch? What stopped them from releasing Lion updates on Monday, along with the other related software updates so that on Wednesday they would just have the iOS updates and activations to deal with ?
-

I got this answer from Salud here:http://www.karthikk.net/2011/06/how-to-solve-this-device-isnt-eligible-for-the-requested-build-error-ios-5/comment-page-3/#comment-18043Here is his answer:SaludOctober 13, 2011 at 2:25 PMTry opening terminal an typing in the following:sudo nano /private/etc/hostsAnd when your done do Ctrl+X then Y and Enter.If you use this solution and it works please give him a thank you.

Oops I forgot to mention what you need to add:### Host Database## localhost is used to configure the loopback interface# when the system is booting. Do not change this entry.##127.0.0.1localhost255.255.255.255broadcasthost::1 localhostfe80::1%lo0localhost#174.208.10.249 gs.apple.comRead more: http://www.karthikk.net/2011/06/how-to-solve-this-device-isnt-eligible-for-the-requested-build-error-ios-5/#ixzz1ahIU3SFvMake sure the # is before the last line is all I needed to do.

I don't have any problem updating to iOS 5 and Mac OX 10.7.2 but when I try to move my MobileMe account to iCloud it said unable to move try back again. Does anyone know what's happing here pls thanks.
-
I started the download at about 6:30 pm and wasn't finished until around 11 or 11:30 pm. Thank God I had nothing to do last night. Couldn't believe it took so long.
-
Yeah, My wife's and My Iphone 4 went well both upgraded no problems whatsoever, about 1 1/2 each with the reinstall of Apps.My Ipad 2 had a little trouble it Crashed 4 times and all with a different error # each time, Anyhow it took a couple of hours, and worked in the End, it was early in the time line and Im putting down to the servers being busy. So far the update is rock solid and I love the updates.Method, Pull any USB devices you don't need, update your OS, update Itunes, Plug in and follow the prompts. Yay!.
-
When I say 1 1/2 I mean 1 1/2 hours, the Cloud worked right away for me, and Ive actually have it in the same folder as my DropBox, and all works very well together.
-
has anyone been having issues with Facetime not working on 3G ? i thought it was suppose to. also the notifications on the lock screen are lil different than what they said, i am not able to go to a specific message and slide on it to reply. ?????
-
U have to put ur finger on the icons and slide. Figured that one out. Double tap home button in sleep mode to add camera option to lock screen ( would b better if it was always there). For me I haven't figured out where the app icon is for the iMessage or is there one? And totally disappointed that Siri wasnt included. Hopefully Siri will b available to iPhone 4 users soon. And also apple said the contacts interface would b different mine is still the same. So far I'm not too impressed but maybe I just don't know what I'm doing lol. Although my fav feature so far is the text shortcuts come in handy if u hate entering in ur email like I do
-
None here. All is well.
-
iMessage is part of the original message app. When it is in imessage "mode" communicating with another idevice the speach bubbles are blue and you can see the recipients activity.Normal messaging to any other device speach is green
-
have you tried putting it in recovery mode?
