iOS 5 & iCloud |OT|

Turns out I was getting the same sync error with normal iTunes backup so I just rebooted everything and now both iTunes and iCloud sync are working (I think). Still saying it will take 4 hours for 795mb to go to iCloud though lol, not sure if I'll keep insisting for now.

Also (most likely obvious for everyone but I never tried it before), I figure there's no way to add the same event to multiple calendars when I create one? I was going to use my google calendar and the iCloud one simultaneously for giggles but when I create an event it only allows me to choose one. No biggie but it would be nice to have two different calendar backups (doesn't hurt to have my contacts stored on two different servers for example).

Question for you guys. None of my notifications are appearing on my lock screen even though they are set to on (mail, reminders, etc, each one is set to on to appear on lock screen). Anyone else having the same problem?

The lock screen only shows you notifications which appeared since the last time you locked the device. When you unlock the device, the lock screen is clear again.

So are the only 'widgets' or whatever for Notification Center are Weather and Stocks? That's kind of lame lol. I'd love to be able to show reminders and eBay stuff and whatnot even when it isn't expressly notifying/alerting me about something.

The SDK does not cover Notification Center, so that's it.

Is it worth it to updrade to iOS 5? I know nothing about it.

Worth it compared to what? iOS 4? Of course. Jailbreaking? Possibly not.
 
So frustrating the stupid update has been downloading over 6 hours and its only 600MB+ done, while my friend has his done within 5 hours more or less.
 
Error 3194. I don't understand why stuff like this keeps happening to me. I never jailbreak or anything. This is so frustrating.

Should I delete the Twitter app? Is it built-in now? Confused.
Click to expand...
No, the built in features allow you to tweet photos and links without opening the app. You can also sign into anything Twitter related automatically. The app is still needed for reading tweets, or writing standard ones yourself.
 
Finally got my iPad to update properly. Kept failing during the back-up cycle. Took awhile to get everything back into place, but so far, I'm really enjoying all the updates in iOS 5 on it and my iPhone 3GS.

Now bring on my 4S (and Siri!) on Friday! :)
 
Just don't save naughty pictures from your girlfriend to your camera roll with Photo Stream on. Because unless you then take 1000 more photos to override it, you can't delete it. Unless you delete them all.

lockscreen notifications are temporary. they disappear once you unlock your phone. of course if you receive a notification while the phone is unlocked it won't show up on the lock screen.

It's just a queue of all the notifications you get while your phone is locked. It will wake up your phone with a modal popup and then gets added to the queue.
 
How do I get iCloud going on my iMac? I have got two pics in my phone stream, one from my phone and one from my iPad. Now how can I get them to my PC?

Also I turned on iCloud backup and its taking up 1.2GB of my 5GB storage. I even unchecked most of the apps. What is taking up all this space?
 
So does this mean music that I've manually put inside will be deleted and gone? Or is there someway I can transfer them from my iTouch to the iTunes library?

That is a really nice feature. I was happy to see that.. but at the same point in time, if the update itself isn't faster it really makes it fairly unrealistic to do it unless you're at home and not in "need" of your phone.

From here on out they will be delta updates, the update files shouldn't be 800mb+ anymore. Just the changes will be pushed through, not a complete rewrite of the firmware.

you mean it counts your apps as part of that storage when it's fucking redundant since apple already has those apps on their servers anyways?
Click to expand...
Sorry, missed your post earlier. No, it backs up the data for the app. I have a lot of apps, and a lot of data. 2GB in comics in Comic Zeal, for example. You can manage the iCloud backup by turning off the individual apps data you don't care about. Or, you can buy more storage and not worry about it, which is what I did,

I've backed up everything now, and still have 9.5GB left over for the future.

I keep getting Error 3173 :(

Just do a factory reset of your device, just backup your shit before you do and then after the reset it will auto update to 5.0 for you, the process is a lil long so you may wanna do some other shit while you wait
 
Is there a place I can directly download the iOS5 update? iTunes keeps telling my my network loses connection always around 350mb into the download. AGGGHHH.

Uh so Idk how to use the iMessages lol

Anyone wililing to tell me? My gf said she updated already so we both have iOS 5

When you message someone that has iOS 5 it will automatically default to it I believe. You can then choose to send it as a text message if you so desire.

Well it hasn't for me. Do I have to make a new thread of messages for it to work?
 
Hey I have probably a stupid question. I picked the "Download Only" option in Itunes and it is all downloaded now but I am not sure how to install it. Do I have to find it on my PC? Or do I install it through Itunes?
 
I can't get any notifications to show up in the lockscreen (iPad 2). I can see them when I pull the notification window down from the top after i unlock the iPad but there's nothing showing at the lockscreen (nothing to pull down either).
 
Think Apple will ever release a weather app for iPad like iPod and iPhone have? Sucks that I have no weather in my notification bar on my iPad 2.
 
Can someone confirm for me what format is required to add text/notification tones to iOS 5? I have mine in .caf format for when you added them manually via jailbreak, so just need to confirm what I'm re-formatting them to.
 
WTF, it asked me if I wanted to upgrade, I said yes, it backed up my phone for like 2 hours, finished, and it's still not upgraded. So I plugged it back in and it's supposedly backing it up again to upgrade. What am I doing wrong?

Lol I know that much. But they're green.

And you're sure you're both on ios 5? There's nothing else to do, it should just work.

Go into settings -> Messages and make sure iMessage is turned on. Her too.

Yeah they were both on, but it's working now. I guess she needed to restart her phone or it just eventually happened.

If it's like the phone, they will pop up as you get them and then disappear once you unlock. If you get multiple ones while locked it turns into a pull down.
 
Apple has posted a support document about using separate Apple IDs for iCloud and iTunes purchases.

http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4895

Can I merge multiple Apple IDs into one?

You cannot merge two or more Apple IDs into a single one. You can, however, use one Apple ID for iCloud services and another Apple ID for store purchases (including iTunes in the Cloud and iTunes Match). See “Using one Apple ID for iCloud and a different Apple ID for Store Purchases” above for details.

Can I change the name of my Apple ID?

Yes. For example, if you get a new email address, you can change your Apple ID from your old address to your new address. For more information, follow the steps in this article. 


Note: @mac.com and @me.com Apple IDs cannot be renamed.

I have purchased music, apps, or books with multiple Apple IDs. How can I get all of this content onto my iOS device?

First, you need to copy all of your purchased content so it is on the same Mac or PC with iTunes. This computer should be the one you sync your device with. For more information on how to move your content, see these articles:

Mac: iTunes for Mac: How to copy purchases between computers
PC: iTunes for Windows: How to copy purchases between computers
Next, authorize your computer to play content with each Apple ID in iTunes. Once your computer is authorized for all your content, it can be synced to your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.

How do I restore an iOS device from an iCloud Backup if I use different Apple IDs for iCloud and store purchases?

When you are first prompted for your Apple ID during the restore process, enter the Apple ID you use for iCloud. After your device restarts, you will be presented with another Apple ID prompt before items from the App Store and iBookstore begin restoring. This time, sign in with the Apple ID you use for store purchases.

I have an expired @me.com email address as an Apple ID. Can I use it with iCloud and receive email at that address?
Yes, if it is an @me.com address. To use your expired MobileMe account for iCloud, follow the iCloud setup instructions and enter your expired @me.com email address as your Apple ID. Your @me.com address it will be reactivated for email when you sign up for iCloud.

Important: You will need an active email address associated with your Apple ID to set up iCloud. To add an active email address, go to appleid.apple.com, sign in with your expired @me.com email address, and add an active email address to your account.

finally got WiFi syncing to work. I had to plug it in to computer first and check "sync with this computer" first. Now it shows up. Yes!!!


It is slower over WiFi though, syncing my entire library over Wifi is taking for ever :o
