iOS 4.2.1 Available Now - Yes, Really

[gentlefury]

Doh! I was expecting an update on Tuesday, so I didn't backup. Download is done, but the syncing before updating is taking FOREVER!

If you haven't done it in a while it will take a LONG time. I did a sync on my gfs iPad the other day in prep for today and it took like 5 hours!!!

Yes always make sure you backup first, it is for some reason an extremely slow process (it would take like 20 mins to xfer 12GB of data from a USB HDD to a computer.....it takes like 4 hours with iTunes on iPad....I don't get it!!) but it is worth doing, I have restored mine a couple times and since I did a full backup it came back exactly as I left it.

By the last update scare, I cleaned out my VLC and GoodReader, so I'm like 80% done with backup. Still it has taken almost an hour...

Well backup completed then went to the finalize stage and locked up and then proceeded to lock up iTunes everytime I plugged it in, hard reset just goes back to the progress bar and locks partway thru. Now restoring....ugh....windows really sucks when it comes to iDevices!!!! I need to get her a mac!!

Here In Israel The servers opened up at 20:30pm local time. It is very Slooooooow.
I got to about 40% and it crashed. Had to reload again. afraid to many on the server, and it'll crash again.
This version is important for us since it has Hebrew ( Right to left.. remember ?)
