No it is not like a torrent. That would require you to share the downloaded file. It is a straight download from Apple's severs. They will be, not unsurprisingly, rather overloaded as many many people download the update

I think it took me about 2 mins to get the 3g version

for anyone who has/ had the gm seed version, the build number is the same so it is the same version.

 

i have just downloaded the new itunes and ios4 and its all most finished installing inaround 45 mins/1hour

this is the 1st time i have managed to up date the phone on itunes and not having to download it form somewhere else!!

 

Loads of updated apps arriving now, Motion X GPS update now installed, cracking.

 

On my 3G, all my pics now blurry/grainy. I read of others having this problem - anyone here?

 

Our iOS4 update is in the store. VERY quick turnaround by Apple. At some point I'll have a proper play with iOS4

 

(3G) my photos are okay. i have 1700 on there from the past couple of months.

 

Does anyone have any ideas as to why mines wont download via itunes ?
Once its downloaded it tells me that my connection has timed out ?

 

I downloaded the update, went back to what I was reading - Treasure Island, it's now put me back to the beginning of the book!!

 

A friend had the same, next sync it was back to normal.

 

Downloaded it for my ipod touch yesterday...

First impression .... well what did it change...


we got a masterclass from a geek at work lol

folders --- cool

looks like the sleep timer bug may be solved ---- more cool


multitasking dosent work - mever had , so dont miss

Multitasking works great, but your applications need to be updated to take advantage of it.

What was the Sleep Timer bug? I use it all the time to play an hours worth of iPod.

 

When I go into Itunes (9.2) - it's only giving me an option of upgrading to 3.1.3 (running 3.1.2). Wonder why it's not showing 4? (surely I don't have to do an incremental upgrade first?).

 

That may explain the time to install?

OS4 dowloaded very quickly, but the backup and installation took about 45 mins (3G)

New dock looks nice and the folders work well. Haven't had cause to use the unified inbox yet. Liking the way it groups emails by discussion thread. Spell check handy, seems more responsive. Some handy changes to settings options too. All in no downside, but obviously needs a 3gs or 4 for full effect.

 

All working fine on my 3GS although no iBooks app. Am I missing something?

 

Go to the App store to download iBooks

 

Sleep timer bug

Occurs on itouch, not to sure about iphone

basically you start the sleep timer and go to ipod... it runs for your allocated time and shuts off , all good

If you do the same but use a streaming app ie last FM, it runs for the

allocated time, shuts down the i touch, and then wakes up again and

continues to stream audio, either until you wake up, or the battery runs

flat.

On the iPhone it just says 'Sleep iPod' which on a iPhone is fine, it does just that, bit different when you're device is an iPod I guess.

 

First stop after iBooks has to be http://www.gutenberg.org/catalog/

 

That was painful -- had to restore three times to get the firmware to load (on my wife's non-played with 3GS).

I thought it was properly broken on the second attempt.

yes, cheers. Re-sync'd and everything is now fine.

Although I was looking at the 'places' that my photo's were supposedley taken Some of them are well out!

 

Hmm, I have not seen that issue. Fancy dropping me an email?

 

Got mine updated last night - probably due to not having huge amounts of music on my 3GS, but from starting the ios4 download in itunes to using the phone with the new operating system installed and all data in as before took less than an hour.

 

Happened to me the first time but installed successfully on attempt 2

 

Blimey that was painful. After it downloaded and failed to install (error 21 - unknown error) I really thought the update had bricked the phone. It wouldn't restore or even revert to factory settings. Finally got it working by installing itunes on a diffeent machine, doing a factory restore there, then connecting it back up to the original machine and restoring from the backup. I wasn't really expecting my phone upgrade to take 4 hours and involve a lot of swearing!!!

Very unimpressed with Apple at the moment

 

Updated my 3G no problem and only took 30 minutes

 

For those having download issues with iTunes, here's what you could try:

1) Go to this page for the iPhone downloads and this other page for iPod downloads, and then download the 4.0 update appropriate to your device. I have used the 4.0 for 3G and 3GS and they do indeed work and seem valid

2) Launch iTunes, connect your device. When you see it listed in the "Devices" list, right click on it and select "Backup" (you may want to also select "Transfer my purchases" too).

3) On the "Summary" screen for the device, option/alt click the Restore button, it will present you with a dialog, navigate to where you downloaded the ipsw file and select it.

4) The restore process will begin. Once it is complete you will be asked to setup the phone, and you can select the option to restore from a backup, which is probably what you want to do.

If you have a JB / Unlock (not an official one, ie; from O2) then you will lose this. You may also find you need to sync your music back with the device.

Regardless, perform the above with caution and don't blame me if you lose things.

 

Mine downloaded and was less then an hr, but my downloaded photos only are very blurred. I have re sunk 3 times and still no joy, note I no longer have access to the downloaded pics as they was on my old laptop. So if I lose then then I have no means of getting them back. Does this mean the pics will stop crap with out the originals to redownload them.


Cheers

 

So how are all the original games working with the is04 upgrade? I have just put the newest itunes on and I have noticed its the next update

 

so finally done it! it took 3 hrs to download and less than 5 mins to install and everything is fine, other than a pic behind the apps and the folders thing and the multitasking i can't really see anything else thats new

 

My ITV World Cup app wont work since the update!!!
