iOS5-Trouble iPhone Battery Drained Problems

IT APPEARS APPLE HAS IT'S HEAD IN THE CLOUDS! 


UPDATE: 11/15/11- Apple’s iOS 5.0.1 update evidently addressed some, but not all of the battery issues troubling iPhone users. In a statement issued moments ago, the company acknowledged there may still be a few problems that need troubleshooting. “The recent iOS software update addressed many of the battery issues that some customers experienced on their iOS 5 devices,” the company said in a statement. “We continue to investigate a few remaining issues.”


UPDATE:10/13/11- Apple customers are complaining that iCloud, one of the key features of the new iOS5 mobile operating system launched on Wednesday, is not working properly. On the Apple support system icloud status page you get these two mesages:(iCloud: Account - Users Affected: Some) "Users may experience intermittent slowness when signing in to iCloud. Normal service will be restored ASAP. We apologize for any inconvenience."(10/13/2011 09:55 PDT) and this; "Some users are experiencing intermittent authentication errors when trying to use mail. Normal service will be restored ASAP. We apologize for any inconvenience."(iCloud: Mail & Notes - Users Affected: Some 10/13/2011 09:58 PDT)
Numerous reports, including users of Apple's existing online service MobileMe attempting to migrate to iCloud, are seeing a blank screen and error messages asking them to try again later. Others having problems after installing OS X and trying to enable iCloud. 

SOLUTIONS: FIRST be patient. My best advice is to wait till the traffic has cleared. Let the others who want to be first wait in a LONG line. It's NOT going anywhere. SECOND: After installing OS X 10.7.2 and enabled the new iCloud services a number of users have found that the system is displaying a Guest User account at the log-in window. Upon clicking on this the system will show a warning that states the system will restart into a Safari-only mode for the guest user, and if any accounts are currently logged in then they will be forced to log out and may lose unsaved work.

Today was the day, October 12, 2011, that Apple released there new operating system the iOS 5. UNFORTUNATELY many users are having MAJOR problems in downloading the update as Apple's servers obvoiuly can NOT handle the massive demand for the new system


If you have an older iPhone 4 or iPhone 3GS, you can upgrade it to Apple's latest mobile operating system, iOS 5.

So, too, can iPad and iPad 2 owners, and those with a third or fourth generation iPod Touch. Note that many people are reporting problems with the iOS 5 installation; the following covers the basic procedure as it's supposed to go.

To get iOS 5, the first order of business is to update to iTunes 10.5.→ Open iTunes and then click iTunes > Check for Updates to install version 10.5. 

←Once iTunes is up-to-date, connect your iOS device. 

If you aren't prompted automatically to start downloading iOS 5, select your iPhone, iPad, or iPod Touch under the Devices header in the left-hand column and click Check for Update. 

A pop-up window will appear,→ alerting you that a new iOS version is available for your device. Click the Download and Update button. (Or, if you are going to need your phone in the near future, opt for the Download Only button to download it now and install later. iOS 5 is a 668.8MB download for the iPhone, which could take an hour or more, depending on your connection and the amount of traffic hitting Apple's servers.)

←Click through the next three screens to start the download. If you want to see its progress, click Downloads under the Store header in the left-hand column of iTunes. It shows you the estimated time remaining and how many megabytes have been downloaded.

Once the download completes, the installation will begin automatically if you chose the Download and Update option. Once iOS 5 is installed, you'll need to hop through a few setup screens on your device before it's ready to use. You'll be asked to enable location services, sign in with your Apple log-in, enter your birthday, agree to terms and conditions, set up iCloud, and enable Find My iPhone.
