    iOS 5.1 download problem(s)?

    is anyone experiencing problems downloading the new iOS5.1?

    iTunes tells me the "The network can not be established".... :roll: :lol:

    suggestions?

    Just do it wirelessly through settings>general>software update (which is what I'm doing right now).

    I really hope this upgrade cures my contact page issues on my 3GS. Essentially it'll go to my contacts and then lock up so I have to reboot the phone to get it to work again, bloody annoying! I've stripped out pretty much all my apps plus all my music thinking it might be a corrupt file but to no avail. Luckily I'm not really a big mobile user but it would be even more annoying if I were.

    Cheers,
    Gary

    Mine decided that it didn't want to connect with my email servers after the upgrade - re-entered the passwords in settings and all was well.

    Mine turned off iMessages and took a soft reset before I could turn it back on.

    Had this problem, turned out to be an ISP DNS issue. https://discussions.apple.com/message/17793399#17793399

    I had the same issue. I find that this happens now and again after certain updates.

    I could not get mine to upgrade OTA; supposedly a feature of the newer IOS. Had to download on an iTunes PC which was short of hard disk space (since the fantastic application blocker software on my work laptop rendered iTunes useless :evil:); in other words a palaver.
    In the Sotadic Zone, apparently.

    ITunes must be an embarrassment to Apple, it's just dreadful

    The PC iTunes is a very different beast to the Mac iTunes.

    Now, I wonder why that might be... :wink:
