iOS5 releases October 12th as a free upgrade

[Lovemyipad2]

Hello,

I sure hope that once I have my iPad's battery fully charged, and start the upgrade process, to iOS 5, it won't take HOURS, as I
haven't any idea as to how long will my battery lasts, throughout the upgrade process?

Shouldn't the iPad enter a special reserve power mode as it is needed, during this process?

Seems to me, once you start the upgrade process, (as we are running only on battery power), how can our devices last for hours/days?

Thanks!

Ed

I'm not too sure. I know you definitely need to have it fully charged. I haven't even been able to update my iPad that's why I'm in this forum. It's my iPhone that still isn't ready. This is so frustrating and annoying. I wish I would of waited. Not going to have Siri anyway.

When fully charged your iPad battery should last 9 to 10 hours. There is no "reserve". It will notify you a few minutes before it's about to run out of power.

Hello,

I plan on upgrading to iOS 5 soon, (battery is at 96 % - I want it 100% fully charged), I doubt that the program would still
active if the OS is being replaced, correct..?

I mean, wouldn't the upgrade process shut the program off/down?

Thanks!

Hi Rich,

Well, as long as the upgrade to iOS 5 doesn't take longer to perform than the battery power lasts, I should be good..

Thanks!

Upgrade Times Are Not Equal

As mentioned, the time it takes to upgrade is dependent on several factors including the amount of data on your iPad, type of iPad, server load and probably most importantly your broadband connection/speed.

All of the data needed to upgrade is not only downloaded but data is uploaded and also restored. All this data moves between your computer/iPad and Apple's servers. This data transfer is subject to everything that happens on your computer, between your location and the destination as well as the load on Apple's servers. Your ISP's infrastructure will have an impact. The distance between your house and your ISP's head-end factors in. The distance and infrastructure between your ISP and network trunks has something to do with it as well. Even your modem, router and how your computer connects to your network (via Ethernet or wireless) will have an impact. All of that gobbledigook and much more affects the bottom line...your connection. No one's experience is going to be identical.

The "pipe" between your computer and Apple's servers is subject to any number of issues including packet loss, interference, data loads (you're not the only one on the line), etc. The speed of your broadband connection as set by your ISP could be equal to or orders of magnitude faster or slower than someone else's.

For example, I have 25Mbps upload and 25Mbps download broadband speeds on fiber optic service...fairly fast as compared to the U.S. average (about 4 Mbps). My iMac is connected to my network via Ethernet. My iPad has about 55GB's of data on it (although a majority of that is music and videos). It took a little less than two hours for it to be fully updated to iOS 5 between about 10:10 a.m. and noon yesterday. It's taken others less time and yet others quite a bit longer. Again, it's not a level playing field plus Apple's server load is no doubt still very heavy.

So be sure your iPad is fully charged, connections are good and things will work out. Me? I'd probably wait a couple of days to avoid any frustration. The new features in iOS 5 are great, but they aren't earth shaking and as I've said...everyone's devices will continue to work perfectly fine in the meantime.

Hope that helps!

Hello,

Just wanting to mention, that I am one out of approximately how many, (actively) in the beginning stages of the upgrade process.

I hope everything moves along s-m-o-o-t-h-l-y, and not any hidden glitches and/or surprises....

Thanks for reading,

Congrats! We'll be interested in hearing about your experience, the time it takes and the juicy details.

It can really vary from place to place, country to country. Having FiOS (fiber optic) for our service means that there's enormous "headroom" so speeds aren't impacted by the number of users as they are with copper lines and such...so it's pretty steady 24/7. 9Mbps is still twice the U.S. national average though (sadly), so you're in pretty good shape.

That's my understanding...quick draw iPhones.
