Do I need IOS 5?
- Thread starter GS TRV
- Start date
Trev,
Do you have any other Apple devices? If you do then it's worth the effort, if not then you'll probably get away without it for a while.
The key purpose of the update is to facilitate iCloud.
It does have some other neat features but they're not vital so to speak.

I only have an old Ipod Nano as it works fine. I just keep reading about people who eventually get the 5 upgrade then balls up other bits. Im happy to just surf and shop with it so not sure if i really want to upset the applecart.

Definitely do it. You will sooner or later so may as well now. I've not had any problems at all and have iphone, iPad, and use with iMac and MacBook and Apple TV. Wouldn't go back.
I tried again tonight but no luck
Just tells me that the server has timed out and to check my connections. Hope I don't have to take it back to Apple store .
Completely agree.

sorry to jump in to your thread ive just ordered an ipad 2 does it have ios 5 on it or do i have to download it.
Chaps.. I have an iPad 2 and downloaded ios5 last week... oh i really wish i hadn't, i've had nothing but trouble from it. I love Apple and have done for many years but this at the moment is the worst thing they have produced!!!
Don't do it yet.. wait for the next update.. i've done all of the things on the forums, reboot from new, clear the cache memory etc but i just can't find any way of going back to the previous version.. doesn't look like you can
I really really really really wish I hadn't gone to iOS 5, it's ruined what was a brilliant iPad.
The biggest problem is Safari, it keeps on crashing, can be 3 times in a minute, you are writing a post and then it's crashed before you can send. or just browsing and it closes. It's getting to the point where I'm just not using it. Fecking crap software. Of course it's up to you, but at least I've warned you.

Thanks for the heads up bobble.
I v much doubt it - i got mine a few days ago directly from Apple store and it wasnt on it. After doing some research (not just here) ive seen a LOT of probs with loading it so as i said on the other thread ill just be happy with what i have until the problems are ironed out.

Was just writing a post to say I had not experienced a problem on either my iphone 4 or my iPad 2 and then Safari crashed just before I could post! So I agree there is a bit of a problem. I recall now that I had the same problem last night twice too. But I've only noticed it on this site. I'm sure it's not connected but odd. I've used both devices a lot in the last two weeks and itsbeen great. iPad 2 will almost certainly come without IOS5 installed. Mine did but I bought it on the day 5 came out (coincidently) I must have been one of the very first to upgrade.

Os5 on my iPhone works fine ( so far) and has some grand features!
