Would I still be able to choose a few selected songs from iTunes (at the latest version) to send to my iPad without updating my iPad to IOS6? Please excuse all of my newbie questions...

Updating iOS is a manual process. You can update iTunes without any fear that it is suddenly going to "infect" all of your iDevices with iOS 6.

I took all of the music off my iPad to clear enough room for the update. When I put it back, I found that it appeared to use a lot less space than before, so it appears that some work has been done on the compression system in either iTunes or iOS. I presently have 266 songs on my iPad, occupying 1.1Gb of storage.

Thanks for the info!

I use motion x HD as well and love it. Voice turn navigation and all the little goodies are with it. Very very good app for the price. I still have not updated because I am waiting for a jailbreak first and don't want to lose my current jb tweaks but I have used motion x from the beginning. Well worth it

Thanks for the tip. Looks good. Only trouble is that LandTrackerPro doesn't export to it, and it should. Not the fault of MotionX though.

How do you go back to previous iOS. I made the mistake of going to iOS 6 and now can't open any kind of attachment.

You can't. The window to do this has been closed.

I'm new to apple, the iPad and their updates. Are there any good reasons to do the update? I don't care about GPS, but is there anything else worthwhile, anybody who's installed the update? The consensus of the thread seems to be stay the hell away from it. I have no issues with the current os, just don't want to miss out on any improvements. Dont want to "F"-up what i got going either. From the list they give, seems kind of hohum. Also why include updates to Siri if it's not even on iPad?
One more question, my download of the update file has begun, every time I connect to wifi it DL's more. At some point it will be done, but I need to activate the install process, right?
TIA everybody. Great forum for learning and info.
Edit: wow, just heard of folks having wifi connection issues with os6. What's with apple anyway? They sell iPads that can only connect to wifi then screw that up? Geeez...what good is my iPad going to be of I can't use it? Nice update eh? In the bizarro world maybe.

Correct, you have to manually initialize the install process by touching the install button. Don't do it unless you're sure, though, as there's no going back.

There are many good reasons to update to iOS 6. Maps is in its infancy, and will get better as they find the problems. This can only be done by individuals who know the areas reporting bad information. Apple has been hiring many of the top people away from Google to help with this. Whether or not it is worth doing now, depends on what you want. I am moving this to a more appropriate forum

Good point, Seadog. I sent 4 reports yesterday. The more people who do it the better it will become.
