en480c4 Posted October 13, 2011 Report Posted October 13, 2011 My iPad is updated, but it didn't copy over the 1300+ photos from the wedding/honeymoon that we had in there. This was despite multiple attempts to restore from backups that I had verified contained the photos. Weird.
grawk Posted October 13, 2011 Report Posted October 13, 2011 the backups don't back up photos. Those are supposed to sync to iphoto.
Salt Peanuts Posted October 13, 2011 Report Posted October 13, 2011 No problems with the update/upgrade so far and my iPhone 4 definitely feels snappier than before. FWIW, I like the notification system on the iPhone.

Absorbine_Sr Posted October 14, 2011 Report Posted October 14, 2011 Updated my iPhone 4 to iOS5 and ever since the battery life has been shit. I can literally watch it drop over a matter of minutes. Urgh. I've seen some other posts on it at MacRumors, but no conclusive answers.
recstar24 Posted October 14, 2011 Report Posted October 14, 2011 Has anyone had a chance to try out the iTunes wifi sync? I plugged the phone into power, computer is on, both connected to same wifi network, but the sync button remains greyed out...
CD44hi Posted October 14, 2011 Report Posted October 14, 2011 in iTunes, did you click on "wilreless sync this iphone" option? I found that the wireless sync was generally slower compared to usb. Convenient, but slower IME.
blessingx Posted October 14, 2011 Report Posted October 14, 2011 So iMessage only works over wifi? That certainly limits its functionality.
grawk Posted October 14, 2011 Report Posted October 14, 2011 no, it works over wifi for the ipod touch.
blessingx Posted October 14, 2011 Report Posted October 14, 2011 (edited) Ah, thanks for the correction. Been also confused as I thought this was going to be another app (like WhatsApp I currently use to txt between iOS devices), to differentiate between paid and free messages. Being integrated into Messages I guess you just have to be aware what the device on the other end is (or ignore the little, but ridiculous, cost of each). Have I mentioned how much I hate paying for text messages on smart phones with IM/email easily available? Edited October 14, 2011 by blessingx
Grahame Posted October 14, 2011 Report Posted October 14, 2011 (edited) Paying to receive SMS on a smartphone? That is infuriating. It's even more infuriating when you illustrate the fact to a coworker with an iPhone, showing how originating the text via a free email though one of the sms gateways allows you to mount a free financial "Denial of Service" attack on their account. Its doubly infuriating when you think that SMS originated using free out of band data. Yet it costs more than data from the Hubble Space Telescope The bits do seem expensive , when compared to TCP/IP from your ISP .

luvdunhill Posted October 14, 2011 Report Posted October 14, 2011 Battery life seems much better on my 3GS with 5. Now I need Skype to integrate their messaging better.

MexicanDragon Posted October 15, 2011 Report Posted October 15, 2011 I really like the wifi sync on the iPad. I ripped a few CDs last night, then just drug them over while the iPad was in my bag. It messed with me the first couple of times, though... I saw "Eject MexicanDragon's iPad" when iTunes popped up randomly. The device was in my bag 5 feet away from my laptop. It took me a couple times of closing iTunes before I realized that it WAS, in fact, connected. Magical, revolutionary. **BRENT**
luvdunhill Posted October 15, 2011 Report Posted October 15, 2011 Also, the newest Tapatalk update on 5 is super zippy. Still crippled in many ways, but at least it's not slow.
blessingx Posted October 15, 2011 Report Posted October 15, 2011 Does it work for you with HC? Still doesn't for me.

postjack Posted October 15, 2011 Report Posted October 15, 2011 been rocking my new 4S since lunch today. took all of 7 minutes to activate. the only glitch was the order number needed for the at&t activation server was the one on my packing slip, which was different by just a few digits then the one i'd received in numerous at&t emails. weird and a little frustrating. the retina display is of course so much better then the 3GS, especially for a heavy mobile web browser/twitter user like me. the camera is fantastic, looking forward to snapping lots of pictures. and siri is really super cool. this evening i was leaving someplace and headed home and decided i want chinese food. "siri, look up the phone number to china doll!" and just like that siri whipped up the number to my favorite chinese place and was dialing. this was not a number i had in my contacts. i had delicious general tso's and fried rice thanks to siri. hell yeah. i'm stoked. and its still the best looking mobile device ever made.

Absorbine_Sr Posted October 15, 2011 Report Posted October 15, 2011 Did a full drain on my battery, then a full recharge and that seems to have helped the battery issues I was seeing.

Just installed the app and set up my account. 50 free Gb of storage is sweet. iPod Touch users can also cash in on this. Edited October 15, 2011 by morphsci
luvdunhill Posted October 15, 2011 Report Posted October 15, 2011 Does it work for you with HC? Still doesn't for me. Yeah. Click on the far right tab after logging in and acknowledging the error that then pops up.
