Absolutely does not work on any of my devices (2 iPod Touches, an iPad, an iPhone 4, and an ATV2).

I keep getting: "_Device name_could not be restored. An internal error occurred"

I backed up and erased the devices, made sure all OS X and iTunes updates were complete, even tried using recovery mode. No dice.

According to the responses on the MacRumors forums, this is happening to a LOT of people.

It took some time, and several attempts to restore before I was successful, but the iPad and the iPhone 4 are up and running with iOS 5.

It's snappier! Really. Safari in both Lion and iOS5 is definitely more responsive.

"Jih",

Don't give up... take a vallium/beer (or both, your choice) and stick with it using all the dirty tricks we have had to use in the previous iOS updates.

Myself like a lot of others did not have an easy go of it either.

After a few retries, resets and restores it finally worked. Alls well that ends well - Ugh!

Oh, one caveat, lookout for the iCloud stuff. I elected to enable it and ended up with multiple^2 duplicate entries in my calendar. Actually I am still cleaning that up but the iOS5 part is working well and no excessive battery drain like I have had with previous iPhone 4 iOS updates.

It appears the OS is stable but the installer is Poop !!!

PS - The only remaining annoyance is iTunes does not auto start when I plug my phone into the laptop, which now that I think about it may have caused some of the problems "I" experienced.

Why after everytime it failed, my iphone has to be backed up again? That backup took more than 10 minutes and just went disappeared after a connection server error?

I upgraded my Mac Pro to 10.7.2 and then upgraded iTunes to 10.5 and then plugged in my iPad 2. I backed up everything to my Mac and then downloaded iOS 5.0. It took a while to do its thing but every thing went very smoothly. All my iPad apps were missing but I clicked the Apps app and then hit the "Purchased" button which showed me all the previous apps that I had downloaded. I then hand picked and downloaded the ones I really wanted to to keep and ignored the rest.

So far all is working great and I am a very happy camper!

Upgraded to iTunes 10.5, then promptly D/L all my songs from the Cloud onto my laptop without a hitch. Previously they had all been on my main desktop.

So far I like this arrangement and will like it even further when I set up my i4S later this week.
I wanted to test-fire it somewhat early to get a feel for it.

backup finished, now says it's restoring Apps.

then it restored music, videos...

next go to the iphone. you'll now see icloud!! I had to purchase more memory.

this is gonna cause sheer panic in people not willing to be patient. This process must mean it's syncing and backing up to and from icloud now. Def. gonna be painful for people who freak and not wait it out. lets see what happens!!

+1 Completely accurate description of the process. It is a freaky thorough update.

I got the notification that iOS 5 was available and at 7:30 EST I downloaded iOS 5 for my iPhone 4 the download took almost an hour but now I've lost all my apps and data because the backup after the upgrade consumed the 12GB I had available on my PowerBook and quit because I didn't have enough space to complete the backup for the final sync. WTF are we back to the memory hog backups of iOS 3.0. My hard drive is not that large that I can strip off any more GBs. My last iPhone backup only took 6.6 GB why on earth is this taking so much more. I guess this not doable on a MacBook Air either with such small SSDs. I have an 64GB iPad to upgrade as well what's a Person to do, start throwing away apps?

Do like everybody else, get a bigger drive. How do you expect to be able to backup a 64GB iPad if you don't have the space on your main machine to do it?

Either put in a larger internal drive or use an external drive. Drives are dirt cheap nowadays. I only have a 16GB iPad, but I have terrabytes of free space lying around with which to back up to, if needed.

Having just completed the process, it appears to be backing up the entire contents of of the device, wiping it (assumption), then doing a clean install, then restoring Apps and other content. The operating system install itself took only around 10 minutes - succeeding on first attempt. Interesting that the phone appears to be completely functional while the restore is taking place. It surprised me to see that most of my apps were missing until I realized that they were being restored in the background.

Anyway - if you don't have space on your computer for a complete backup of the device then you are out of luck. Use an external drive.

Well, it took 5 hours of working on it, but I managed to unbrick my phone and get iOS 5 on it. Yay! Unfortunately, some of my songs aren't playing anymore, so I'll have to look into that. Hopefully I just need to sync again.

To literally BACKUP peoples devices to their massive servers by OVER 100-200 iOS and OS users isn't going to be easy. Think about it before words insight peoples lack of understanding. :lol

There is no way this will go off without it's issues. Appleheads -- put on your helmets, grab your weapons and prepare for battle, radar shows incoming......

Yes understood its a gigantic undertaking with the back up. Yes of course their ready or they wouldn't have launched. Yes I'm sure there will be issues. My "ready" was more that I was downloading very soon after the announcement and it was already slow on a fast LAN. Thats all.

I only had one device (iphone 4) to upgrade and must have gotten lucky. All in all seems like a great upgrade and free! Message center very cool. Photo edit and Messages also very nice. iCloud not such a big deal for me, but maybe thats just me. Good luck to all having trouble....hope solutions come quickly.

Yes, because I'm enduring it right now. My 2TB LaCie doesn't have two FireWire 400 ports on the back that would let me chain it to my camcorder, just a 400 and 800. Currently I'm on my first generation MacBook that only has one FireWire 400 port.

Adapter wizardry could solve this, but in Egypt it's not always a simple drive to the Apple store for these things.

Still, that's nothing compared to the bottleneck on my USB 1.1 G3 iMac and its 1TB external drive.

Good luck.

I had the same backup password problem, ultimately got frustrated and just turned the dang phone off and restarted it. That worked. I only needed to resync and reload all my music, apps, etc... but I now have iOS 5.

And just read the iOS 5 200 new features, the ability to play 1080p vids really makes me exciting! Then maybe I don't need to do so much converting. Maybe could make the Apple TV to be a HTV centre. That's so great!

I ended up downloading each of the updates through direct links....took minutes. The problem came when I updated the phone. It took well over an hour and hosed my ringtones. It filled the phone with over 4 gigs of "other," which mysteriously disappeared this morning.

Overall the new OS is Snappier™. No really, it is. Just need to get things back up and running. Also, I've been unable to move to iCloud due to server demand.

Happened to me, too, with VZW iP4. Followed all instructions on the "info" link and discovered I had missed a couple of software updates, plus needed to disconnect all other USBs and connect MBP to router via ethernet, turn off WiFi and disconnect BT keyboard and empty trash that had lots of deleted apps in it and reboot. That did it. But the restore took over an hour on my 32Gb iP4 with 9Gb free. Be patient. Often it looked like the process had frozen but it would soon resume.

I had the same indication of many GB of "Other" - so much so that it warned of over capacity. But when I clicked on the memory usage bar that disappeared. No idea what all that was about.

How difficult is it to right click your device icon and then choose backup.

Done? OK, now you know 100% that your settings and folders are all nicely backed up.

Next, update/restore

Try the update button, if it fails try restore. If that fails do a DFU restore.

DFU

Ok, you are probably looking at a USB icon on your device.
Leave the cable attached, press and hold the Home button (the round one on the front) and the power button (the one at the top).
Once the screen goes black (resets) release the buttons then quickly hold them down again.
Count to 10 (you know, say "1 and 2 and 3 and 4 and 5 and 6 and 7 and 8 and 9 and 10" out loud and then release ONLY the power button.
Keep the home button held down for another 10 count.

Now clear the errors in iTunes then choose restore.

After restoring select the option to restore the backup you took (it will have the time next to it so you know its the one you just took.

Nice and easy, no need for Drama Queens (Ireland) or any screaming or shouting. This is all probably not needed now as Apples servers seem to have calmed down.

Restore the backup in iTunes. It restores all of your settings, folders, installed applications and settings. Really really easy. Unless you didn't backup ?
To do this right click your devices icon in iTunes and select restore backup. Of course of you were paying attention it actually asks you if you want to do this after restoring.

This is no different from previous upgrades. If you are too impatient to wait to get the update then you deserve all the pain and suffering you have put yourself through due to your ignorance.

It IS the same upgrade process as all previous upgrades. It rewrites the entire OS on the device just as all previous upgrades have. Its not until iOS5 that we will see delta updates which will be a different kettle of fish from previous upgrades.

Now maybe you should crawl back under your bridge mr troll.

Thanks. It worked like a charm.

Anyways what happened to Reading List in Safari of iOS 5?

In keynote Scott had said that iOS 5 will push Reading Lists to all the iOS devices + Safari of Mac & PC. In my MBP's safari I am not able to find any feature related to pushing my reading lists to any iOS devices or may be am I missing something?
