No waiting for me. I upgraded 2 IPHONE 4 and an IPAD inside 1 hour with about 5 errors which were caused by server meltdown. The IOS 5 is great and the battery life with ICLOUD is amazing. All of our contacts, apps and documents were backed up to the skies with our free 5 GIG of storage. Apple also released both Recovery Disk and Lion 10.7.2 on a massive 887 MB update which took over an for and half to complete.

Yep, I'm waiting for IOS6

I'm definitely waiting. Partly because I haven't been able to even download 10.5 yet. But after reading all these stories about problems with OS5 on iPads, even after updating iTunes I'll hold off. Maybe after Apple's servers cool down a bit things'll be a bit easier. And maybe they'll figure out how the rest of us can upgrade without having to lose/reinstall apps/music etc. Unfortunately, it seems a bunch of those who went first may end up being guinea pigs for us laggards. Or they won't and a lot more of us will be stuck jumping through hoops that seem so unnecessary.

Well, coming from the PC world, I never upgraded to a *.0 version of MS software - Apple seems like a much better beta tester, but I'm in no hurry and will wait to early next week and review the threads here to see what issues/problems might develop; but I must say that I'm not that concerned - did receive a notice today from the App store that my iWorks suite will not update (needs iOS 5), but still works fine!

Glad to see I'm not alone. I think by the weekend the major rush will be over.

When I logged onto my desktop this morning, my computer told me that Itunes needed to be upgraded to 10.5 (which I thought I did on Tuesday) and Safari to 5, so I let the computer do its thing. Wonder if I will see the same messages on my Laptop which I also updated and backed up on Tuesday. Didn't see any messages on my iphone 3gs or Ipad2.

I waited. Until today!

Had no issues whatsumever. Actually, I was fully expecting to have to reorganize everything, but all of my folders were perfectly intact. So, whew, yeah.

I decided I must update my iPads to iOS 5 today, but now I don't know what to do.
Had cause to completely remove iTunes from my computer, so started afresh, I have reloaded iTunes on my computer, so have the latest version but when I connected my iPad, I got message saying everything would be deleted. I am now desperately attempting to download some of my many Apps to the iTunes library from the App store. (broadband connection soooooo slooooow) When this is finally achieved (may take days at this rate), has anyone any advice on how to go about going about the upgrade? Do I need to sync my iPad first, will it let me, will I lose all my apps, and will I be able to get them all back in their respective folders as I have a lot. My gen 1 iPad is almost full and it is 64gb. My iPad 2 is only half full (hence half empty!!) Any advice greatly appreciated.

the best thing ...wait 2 3 weeks...i will...the force is strong with me
