iOS 5 for iPhone, iPod touch, iPad now available
Apple has just released iOS 5 for iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad. Just plug into iTunes and check for updates. Arguably Apple's most ambitious update ever, it includes iCloud integration as well as Notification Center, iMessage, AirPlay Mirroring, and a host of new features.
If you're updating now, let us know how it's going for you, and if you need help, here are your go-to link.

hmm it says I'm up to date but I have the GM version :/
It's the same version.
Even though some things don't work like Newsstand and the camera lockscreen access?
Try restarting, my newsstand store button showed up then.
Im wanting to get my phone out of developer "mode" the provision and all that. I just hit restore, and it gave me the update screen. i think this will wipe all the dev features off my phone.
D/l'd the first 350 mb quickly, now slowed to a crawl. 10 mins left.
Downloading now in India. IOS 5 is going to be the best mobile software ever.
Finally, looks like it's going to be a 7 min wait for me.
Downloading, 10 min left.:-)
Downloading iOS5 like its HOT!
updating now. can't wait to try out all the new features!
I'll be doing mine after work, can't wait. I'm depending on the current 3GS users to let me know how it works and if it's sluggish or not. So excited!!
Updating now
Downloading.... 16 min togo.... This Rocks!
loving it, ive been waiting for this day forever iMessage for the win! :)
i started mine at 12:59 yeah lets get it
Its downloading but it is going to be quite a while. The time remaining is going up rather than down. 29 Minutes
Hey everyone, if you go to iTunes and hit ALT+F4 it'll make the download go faster!! (and by the download I mean just mine!) :) and for those who take things seriously, jk, dont do it
What's ALT?
option for the apple-philes out there, but don't do it, lol
This is hysterical!
545MB of 774.4 MB
Mmmmmm iOS5
yeess!!!! 15minutes remaining.
Downloading in SW Virginia.
:( Mine saying 3 hours remaining to complete the download (Sad face)
2nd try. Got booted the first time around!! Servers must be getting hammered!
Slooooowwwwww
4 hours to download, damn...
east coast, ipad 2, iTunes 10.5, it's saying 4.3.5 is the latest version :-( 1:25 pm
update: 1:44pm it now says it's available! yay!
Soo a few minutes ago is said 21...Now it says 29 minutes..Apples servers obviously took a blow to the balls...
Does the update work if you are running 5.0 GM Release? I get "5.0 is the latest software"
its not working for me yet. guess it takes a sec
2 hours remaining! Ech~
went from 6 minutes a half hour ago to now 44 minutes and rising.
Updating now. Unfortunately for me my connection has decided to slow down. 53 minutes remaining.
Isn't this supposed to be an OTA?
OTA once you have iOS 5
OTA will be available for future releases after you've installed iOS5.
Everyone is competing for Apple's bandwidth, lol. Mine initially said 4 minutes remaining, now it's at 11 minutes. I haven't even broken 500MB yet, smh.
Don't complain, mine's going slow too. I'm only at 96.7 MB
Making it happen over an ATT free hotspot at a greyhound station in Chicago! started off saying 4 hours, now its saying 82mins! and yes I was jailbroken on 4.3 and got the message to upgrade to 4.3.5 but when i clicked it it said 5.0 instead!
argh! I have rented movies that I just discovered I need to transfer to iTunes before I update.
Apple's servers must be getting crushed. My download time keeps increasing minute by minute started at 16 min now up to 33
Starting download!
7 minutes...
6 minutes...
5...

Eh...

Damn...
Classic download eta on release day!
What build is this? Same as the Gold Master?
I think so
yup, downloaded to the Mac, not its installing on the 3GS....still can't wait for my new iPhone 4s to come though!
live here in miami FL :) :p
That's nice.
updating right now, server seems slow - it said 66 minues to download then 55 so its churning . . .
its going so slow
Mine showed as 4.3.5 then finally switched...downloading now...time keeps increasing tho so server's gettin hit!
My time went from 9 minutes to 22 :(
96 hours remaining.....
Uber slow process! but downloading...
Just started the download. Jailbroken at 4.3.2, said 4.3.5 was available for update. But when I hit it, the features screen showed iOS 5 features, so I agreed to download. Says 10 minutes, downloading actually pretty quick for me, about 1.1mb down per sec over Comcast.
The the HELL do they insist in releasing this to the world at the same time! why not stagger the release to each region? we all get it at 9am on the 12th local time then it's sorted! and I'm not fighting the rest of the world for server resources! c'mon apple!!! this is basic!
FYI
Download time 8 real-time minutes.
Installation 10 minutes. ?_?
My iPhone 4 is now in Backup mode. Woohoo!!! :-)
What did we expect? 200 million plus users probably all trying at the same time. I'm surprised I'm even staying connected at all and still downloading. Wish they would release by time zones.
updating, but over 2 hours left on the download!!!! you'd think i was on dial up....
20 minutes remaining....
683.1 out of 781.9 remaining. Then times out. Restarting now
Trying to...
Remaining time keeps getting longer & longer lmao this is gonna take forever...!!!
I will be updating iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4 & iPad 2 as it let's me...?!?
drops baby... runs to laptop
Haha, of course, I'm glad to see you've got your priorities right!
640 of 774.4 MB
updating in progress
still says connecting the iPhone software update server.... for a long time now.. any ideas
taking longer and longer to download, initially had 13 minutes, now over 30 and about half way through!
12 minutes remaining
Where's my jailbreak :P!
Start downloading now.....you might have it by the time the iPhone 5 comes out. LOL
STUCK CONTACTING SERVER WHAT THE HELL
Same here... GRRRRR!
671 of 774.4
Just an update for those following the comments. I finished my download (it actually took 12 minutes, unbelievable) and am now in the process of updating my phone.
I have mine, it is fantastic. Sorry you all are waiting, :(
Done! All downloaded, installed and ready to use "The most advances OS ever."
Extracting Software Mode. :-)
Preparing iPhone for restore Mode.
DONE!!!! :)
I agree with comments below..30 minutes to go!
SETTING UP MY CLOUD NOW!!!
4 minutes remaining...
Downloading now in Barbados around an hr to go, can't wait!
390 mb down! I'm halfway there, it's all downhill now!! 43 min to go, when will the hurting stop?
I've got all my old awesome sms tones converted to MP4R. let's go!!
44 min. now it's going backwards!
45 minutes WTH!? the anticipation is killing me, it's like 10 years ago with porn on dial-up, except i'm not going to lose interest and go do something else.
download bar is about 60% done and the time has climbed from 3 mins to 11 mins.
I used the developer beta, but when I try to upgrade in iTunes it says i have the latest version. Any tips?
The last GM version of the Beta IS the exact same file version as the one being released right now. In other words if you're like me and had the GM IPSW on your iPhone you won't need to update that IS the newest version ;D
Well where is the Cards App? i have the GM, i just wanna be sure that I'm not missing anything
1 hour ? XD oh well i'll wait
I only see one other person here reporting the same contact server failure... anyone else having that problem?? I doubt it's a network/firewall problem on my end.
Restoring iPhone Software
Been DL for 15 minutes now and it only DL 121MB. My 1.37GB Porn I just DL took 8 minutes. Go figure.
Because porn knows how to JAM it in there.
Well just restoring apps and then its time to explore....
Well no because now the servers are being battered and I've had two timeouts and probably won't get it today, hoever if they released it to the UK at 10am local time I'd had installed without an issue.
Its so nice its giving me hope - I've had 9 minutes remaining for about 20 minutes now . . .
downloaded and installed...restore in progress. Said could not activate verzion iphone but maybe after restore is will be up and running.
ROFL iFone!!!!!!
OMG WTF??!?!? WAS HALF WAY DONE THEN AN UNKNOWN ERROR HAPPENED!?!?!? GAHH....starting over >.>
x 2 for me here... "network failure" or some bull like that.... still attempting..
big thumps done on track messages reiceve and deliever
Mine has said "Processing File" for the past 10 minutes. Happening to anyone else?
Yes you will see that green bar barely move for a long time and then it will speed up. I think it took me 20 minutes or so for that part.
At 448MB and then ... Reset! #$&@!!, it starts again from the beginning!
bastard thing got to 376MB and then timed out, grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
This is crazy how long it's taking I've been downloading for almost an hour and I'm just hitting 700MB
Started downloading as soon as it was available.....still got 5 hours to go, and then I have to do my iPad...it's like watching paint dry lol!
I feel your pain, I'm 2 hours in with 2 hours to go. Then comes the iPad and other phones :-/
restoring from back-up... 2 min remaining
anyone else get a 3194 error?
Do you use TinyUmbrella? If so, untick the option that says "Set hosts to Cydia"
yep- Twice!!!!!!!!!!
You can get all of the firmware download links here: http://www.felixbruns.de/iPod/firmware/ (it just generates the links from Apple's servers)
After A few days delay finally Apple released ios5 for public. It has good new features. you can download it directly for the link given below:
http://www.cellbull.com/download-ios-5-final-release-for-public/
ok so after an hr i got 720.00 out of 781.9 and it timed out what the fuck
Come ooooon jailbreak.
It got ready to update and it said my iphone 4 did you hav the right build WTF!!!!!!!!!
Has anyone actually been able to finish the download??? Im on my 3rd attempt after getting dumped at around 600mb the previous two tries!!!!!
We need mirrors for this
Installed and running. Excited to finally play around with it. :)
Share some proof! Too many other users reporting restore problems. What is your specific set-up and upgrade method?
Thanks!
Took 1 hr 8 mins from start to finish. Even setting up the phone.
Been going for 1 hour and 25 minutes and still have 26 minutes left, Im at 580 out of 774.4
Can anyone say if the new system works OK on the 3GS? I'm a bit nervous to try it just yet...
It's not working ok on 4's; I'm waiting!!
iPhone could not be restored. An internal error occurred! What is up with this?????
Same for me! wtf!!???
oh my goodness, I hope you guys get it straitened out
I've never had probs ever! I've even hard rebooted the iphone and rebooted my pc. How do I delete the downloaded copy of ios5 to re-download it? it just prompts me to update and I want to download it again incase it was corrupted.
it's finally going through...bloody jokers! this is poor! they NEED to stagger the releases next time so it's not hammered by the whole world at the same time! Grrrrr!!!!!!
Me too...now I have no phone because mine was jailbroken and won't restart
Lesson for all: Don't update jailbroken devices until you read multiple sources saying a successful method has been found. Don't expect one for a week or more: these are done via trial and error and Apple deliberately has been making it increasingly difficult to do....
Thanks everyone for your comments . . . have been looking for the update all day! I'm at 40 minutes remaining . . . it keeps going up. Anyway, I was glad to have found you guys!
Getting error message 3200. Ugh!! Anyone else getting this??
I think it could be because you didn't update Lion software first. Idk, I'm trying to figure this out now.
Negative, I have lion and and I updated everything last night. I'm getting this error as well.
Im getting it too. Dont know what to do.
getting a unknown eroor 3200... what do I do?
LOOKS LIKE APPLE WANTED ME TO UNPLUG MY USB HUB!
I restarted my laptop and did not get 3200 again.
I restarted my PC and it happened again... I am trying another PC at the moment... We'll see.
tried retstarting twice and still gets 3200 error.
Already restarted. Someone knows what's that error? Trying out on my iPad to see if that works without that error
Keep trying. Mine worked on the 4th or 5th try
I had the same issue, I left my iphone connected, and held down the power & home button until it did the reset and that did the trick. Hope it helps!
i tried updating to IOS5 this morning and error 3200 is gone and everything went smooth without a problem with Ipad and Iphone4
looks like mine worked, took about an hour. Now it's backing up.
ugh, errors
Mines chilling at 2 hours -.- Why me? :(
Mine constantly kept timing out...I finally just hit resume, not pause on the DL screen...seemed to start from where I was at. I also found better luck once I wasn't doing a bunch of other tasks on the web at the same time. Not sure if that was just dumb luck, but thought I'd offer it up.
Mines chilling at 2 hours :( Why me?
Man the device data restore is taking forever!!!!
WOW, its booting up, in a fine grey tweed!
BUT EVERYTHING IS GONE!
Unable to get server connection in Eastern Europe. Says I have an update available, but continuous server error...maybe tomorrow...goodnight all
I can't update. It downloads, goes through the Backup then gives an error: "The iPad could not be restored. An unknown error occurred (3200)."
Funny thing is, the iPad is remains at iOS4.3.5 with everything in place - ie it's not hosed and works just fine as if I didn't try and update.
Anyone else see this? I've tried it twice with the same results each time.
exact same thing happens with my ipad2
Same here with my Iphone 4!
Can't get it to work... Keep getting errors...!
Looks like you have to have the latest Mac OS X first, THEN download iOS 5.
Anyone else having trouble moving from mobileme to icloud? it keeps saying can;t do it at this time to try again later...wtf?!!
At least one user at TUAW is reporting success by installing iOS5 as a "new device," them manually restoring data from the back-up (you did do a back-up before starting??). You'll have to manually reconfigure SMS and a few other things; but that's apparently avoiding the restore issues folks are reporting here....
Having issues getting it on my ipod 4g...my iphone went well keep getting unknown error 3200....:-(
Keep retrying. Other folks are reporting success after 7 or 8 retries....
Downloaded and couldn't install :/
I'm stuck backing up for the past 20 minutes. The progress bar isn't moving at all. If I press stop do I have DL it over again?
It must be doin something, it's taken up 100% of my CPU.
thats the issue i got too. it looks like it may take a couple hours at this rate
I keep getting an error code (3200) when trying to update my iPhone even though my iTunes is up to date... Does anyone know what the problem is?
Software/server hang-up. Since you opted to be on the bleeding edge, you're dealing with TONS of competing traffic. Keep retrying--folks on other blogs are reporting eventual success!
I keep getting an error code (3200) when trying to update my iPhone even though my iTunes is up to date... Does anyone know what the problem is?
I downloaded right at 10 and had no problems! Enjoying my iPhone with iOS 5! iPad is taking a little longer but not bad...
I am not able to download anything. I have tried several times to download the new itunes software first, and no option to save pops up. FML.
can anybody tell me why it says "this device isn't eligible for the requested build"
iPhone 3??
No problems downloading at all. Completed in 7 mins..
Proof!! Proof!!
Error 3200, phone stuck in DFU mode and I need it for tomorrow. Not happy Apple!!
Not an Apple issue: the update requires server access and you're competing with....millions?......of simultaneous early adopters. If the device is critical and you haven't yet begun upgrading, WAIT!!!!
Can't really, work starts at 7am for me! Hopefully the servers have calmed down before I need to sleep.
Can't get it on iPod touch 4g an unknow error 3200
Keep getting 3200 error. Tried everything from rebooting, to restarting phone, the whole nine yards. Won't extract software.
it did that to me. make sure you don't have any other usb devices plugged in to your computer.
I keep getting the 3200 error. How do you remove this?
ERROR 3200 --- Make sure you have the newest version of itunes, that there are no updates your computer needs to make, and that you don't have any other USB devices plugged in
make sure you have the newest version of itunes, there are no updates your computer needs to make, and that you have no other USB devices plugged in.
im getting error 3200. tried restarting pc but no luck. anyone have any success?
Yes...others are reporting success after repeated retries. Rebooting etc. has no effect--it is a communication issue and you're competing with tons of folks around the word attempting to do the same thing.... Keep trying!
Where is iMessage cannot find it
I think it is single stream with txt
Like Many people said, it works on the 7th time.
Got the download, now my back up is taking FOREVER. Anybody know why this happens?
still stuck backing up my phone. im getting nowhere quickly
me too update downloaded really quickly but now my back up is taking forever
Stupid error 3200. I'm just going to keep trying until it works.
it says internal error occurred! what the heck
Ehh.... error 1604, anyone?
Jailbroken?? See YouTube for "ios5 error 1604"....
is it just me or is all ios 5 slowing down all iphones
Here's a post from a few minutes ago on Apple's discussion forum....
I had this issue on my 3GS. Here are the steps I took with Apple Engineering's Support:
The backup took a lot longer than normal and the whole thing was complete in about 20 mins. I now have iOS 5 and it appears to work great!
finally got downloaded and now it won't restore!!
I'm on my fifth try, if it doesn't work this time i'm going outside to kill a small animal and see if that helps.
you're neighborhood is in danger of being depopulated: some folks are reporting 15 required retried restores! You're competing with tons of server traffic: please be patient and spare the wildlife!!
That should be "your" Sorry!
iOS 5 combined with iCloud is amazing, and runs smoothly on my 3Gs. Great work Apple.
I can't get iCloud to transfer. Any tips?
No idea why it wont work. Perhaps the servers are a bit slow due to heavy traffic at the moment, otherwise it should work.
