Apple has released iOS 5 for iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch devices.
The update is available when your iOS device is plugged in through iTunes and users check for a new version.
This will be the last iOS version that Apple releases that will not be PC-free and able to arrive through the device itself.

What the? iOS 5 looks exactly like iOS 4.3.5. I don’t know, it looks like nothing’s changed, except they added Videos, Reminders and Newsstand. Browsing’s slightly faster on mobile Safari. And text seems to look crisper on my iPhone 4 screen. Apart from that I didn’t get Siri, but that was to be expected.
Two iPads and two iPods – and each time it downloads the update again!
When will iTunes finally get some intelligence????
Agreed. It’s ridiculous that iTunes doesn’t retain the download. But, won’t this all be irrelevant with over the air updates?
I always choose “Download only” option. Then it uses the same download for all devices. (Three different varieties though).
Twice now on a 3GS and a Mac Pro, after backing up my 3GS it says an internal error occurred. And once on another 3GS and an iMac, same thing. Trying yet again. This isn’t good.
I had the same problem and turning off the firewall was the solution for me.
Error 3013
Ouch. iOS keeps giving me unable to reach server after extracting.
Crashed, now in restore and update mode.
This is what I see in the “iPhone Updater Logs” via the Console app. Looks to me like it’s a server error.

I don’t have the firewall turned on and I have no external firewall either, just an Apple Airport Extreme.
I downloaded iOS 5 and got an internal error too!
Now iTunes says, “iTunes has detected an iPhone in recovery mode. You must restore this iPhone before it can be used with iTunes”
THANKS APPLE – YOU FUCKED ME OVER!!!!!!!
No, you’re not Fed!
You just need to be patient. It appears to be a server issue on Apple’s side. Once they resolve the problem, you can restore from a previous backup and all will be fine.
We understand that. But it’s very frustrating.
I’m currently trying to attempt to get iOS5 on my iPad for the 3rd time. Firewall’s been off.
The frustrating part is that iTunes goes through a whole time-consuming shebang before it tries to contact the server. Specifically. It backs up my iPad every time, which takes about a half hour at least. It shouldn’t have to do that. The contents on my iPad haven’t changed since the latest sync this morning in preparation for iOS5.
Guess I’m still on the luck side, as each attempt leaves the iPad in a usable state. Nevertheless, frustrating. Certainly not the way Apple should be doing things.
“The iPhone “iPhone” could not be restored. An unknown error occurred (3004).”
GREAT! THANKS APPLE! STEVE WOULD FIRE YOUR ASSES!!!!!!!
Snap.
Error 3004. Why oh why did I not wait?
You would think a restore process would let you roll back to a working version. Not here! This is very un Apple.
REstore finally working on mine after nearly 2 hours. Just waing for video, music and photos now.
Will I have 4.3 or 5.0 when it is finished?
I’ll be just grateful to have a working phone back 🙂
yep, apple screwed the pooch on this one.
Repeated internal failure errors on 2 separate computers, 2 different iOS devices.
Millions of people having a crappy experience trying to update.
Makes me really look forward to this level of service on icloud.
A broken phone is not an inconvenience, it’s inexcusable.
Mine was “bricked” in recovery mode 10 minutes into the install, and an hour later, I STILL can’t restore it
lol my iPad 2 is just stuck with Apple logo then restore mode before it crashes. Starts all over again. I guess I better disconnect and reboot. Start it again.
What a crappy experience.
First, I updated Lion – went well.
Then, I updated iTunes – went well (or so it seems).
Then I put on my iPad 2 to update – and all hell has broken loose. Right near the end of what appeared to be the update, I’m told it cannot happen because error 3004 occurred. Tried again, a few times, same thing. Somewhere along the line, I think I even lost my backup.
Right now, my iPad 2 is a brick on an Infinite Loop. I cannot turn it off; when I connect it to the Mac, the Apple logo shows up, the update/restore bar shows up, and then it goes back into the spinning gears thing . . . . and again and again and again . . . .
This is a major f**up. Instead of a new and shiny OS, my iPad has become useless. I’ve probably lost everything I had on it.
You go to the Apple site, and you probably have to spend a week just trying to get to the right place for the right answer.
Totally disappointed and p*d off.
Oh man. iPhone 4 made it after a few hiccups. My iPad 2 is stuck with the Apple logo then pinwheel then restore mode, then crashes. Back to Apple logo and all over again. I can’t even shut it off. I think it’s screwed. Hmmmm…
Same here. Reinstalled iTunes. Numerous restarts. Still stuck between Apple logo, pinwheel and restore status bar.
FUBAR.
Do a hard restore then. Unplug the USB on the iPad. Hold the home and power button down so that it shuts off. While pressing down the home button, plug the pin connector and keep holding down the home button til you see the connect to iTunes cable picture on the iPad. Then you can restore again.
Took about three attempts for me before it finally took. So iPad is now on its way to recovery.
Thanks for that “hard restore” tip. I was not able to restore, but at least, this time the message was that no connection could temporarily be made to the software update server. That’s better than some gobbledygook error message. Hopefully, it’s a light at the end of this tunnel.
Download update to my iPhone 4 failed. There was some kind of internal error that wouldn’t allow data to be restored to the phone. I tried A, B, C: all failed.
Tomorrow is another day.
steve h.
phat phingers.
Ballsed up on iPhone 4 twice now, gonna give it one more try and if it doesn’t work, I’ll sack it off til tomorrow.
Not even bothered trying with iPad.
Not impressed, sloppiness, seems to be creeping into Apple over the last year or so in my opinion, the like of which I’ve never experienced in my 15 years as a user.
C’mon people. Lets give them a little slack. Count up all the iOS users that can upgrade to iOS 5 and all the Mac and Windows POS machines that needs updating. All trying to get gigs of data at the same time… I’m surprised that Apple servers didn’t have a total meltdown. Just authentication/verification errors that messes with the update was the hiccup. None of these hiccups will brick your iOS device. Just try again.
I think you are right about what’s happening. But it is still inexcusable for Apple to not be prepared for this. They sell hundreds of millions of devices, and all those millions have been hungrily geared up for this update for months. How can they not be prepared for this overload? They could have staggered the updates in some way or other. Oh well …. hopefully they’ll learn from this.
Awesome! Only took me 6 hours to update lion and now iPhone crashed on update and haven’t been able to restore last 2 hours error 3004! Way to go Apple on your update servers! And we make fun of Microsoft and android why lol?
Same iPhone crash here. Unplugged the USB and turned the phone off. On restart it said I needed to restore which it did. I just let it to it’s thing and I got everything back in about a half hour. Scary but it turned out OK.
Clicking on more information at the crash site got me this website… http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414
I have never has a problem doing something like this. They must have really buggered this one up. Think I’ll leave the iPad and rest of my Apple devices alone until they sort this out.
Bad Apple… bad
F…I…N…A…L…L…Y…!!
My iPad 2 is getting restored and updated! Right now, it’s restoring the apps. I’ll only know what, if anything, I lost after the whole process is done. I’m mainly concerned about the data I had before this experience. Hopefully it is still intact.
Anybody else get “SMS Full” error messages? I can’t receive texts.
Error 5000, no matter what time of day or night.
