Not sure of question but MDN app told me about the update so went into settings and it started to look for it. 10 mins later boom! Gestures. I love the fact that I don't need my extremely slow and horrible windows vista laptop anymore. Hate that machine!

Yes! If you've got iOS 5 on your iPad go into settings - general - software update - it will check for update and you can download from there. 10 mins max. Try it!

Oh no! Good karma can't use gestures after download. She hasn't got back to me yet though! Maybe everyone is doing it? The only problem I had was that I had to do a hard reset of iPad and then wi-fi was lost so I reset router and then put password back in. Apart from that no probs. maybe try later! I'm crossing fingers for you!

Just upgraded my iPad and all went well. But strangely my iPhone 3GS did start the download on its own... Not a big deal as I was going to do it, but I still wonder.

I have to say that I picked up my iPhone a bit earlier and saw that the battery was at 6%. Odd since it was fully charged this morning. But I received a calendar invitation during the day and it looks like the iPhone got in a frenzy loop until I acknowledged the invitation. So I think that what drained the battery. But as I was trying to fix that issue, there was a notification that I clicked without looking at what it saying, thinking it was telling me that the battery level was low... maybe it asked me if I wanted to upgrade to 5.0.1...

VicoPad addict!

You can see what version you have in Settings > General > About

You must update through the latest iTunes to get to 5.n before you can do over the air updates.

Don't worry. It will take only 1 update to get you to 5.0. This will have to be done linked to your pc or laptop then all future updates will be over the air. Have a look here so you know what to do [video=vimeo;30421920]http://vimeo.com/30421920[/video]

Just a doubt .what will happen when u update via wifi and in middle of updating there is problem with the wifi and updating stops In middle?will it affect the I pad anyway? Or once the data is downloaded there is no need of Internet connection?just asking bcoz one of my friends phone went dead coz he had to interrupt the updating process.

My updating started and quit twice before finishing. The third download worked and the installation started. The first times gave me an error message and a return to the software update setting.

I would say that Apple has thought of these possible scenarios and have made the updates in such a way that it will not harm them and they will eventually update intact.
