Re: IOS 5.1 Upgrade

Hi Ronni Thanks for that but, not knowing of that option, it would not have occurred to me to use that method. It begs the question why such a warning is not given prior to upgrading. To paraphrase your "if Apple recommends" then "if Ronni recommends", I will do it. Kind regards Laura On 08

Hi Laura, Not Peter replying but Ronni ;-) Most times you would be ok; but to prevent the chance of your device running out of battery and Data loss, Apple recommend connecting your device to a Power Source & a Wi-Fi Network to update Wirelessly. Connect your device to a computer if updating yo

Re: IOS 5.1 Upgrade

Hi Peter I had a similar experience but did not even have to go through the Settings. There was a message on the screen saying the update was available so I just followed the prompts. Nor was my iPad connected to a power supply. All done in a very short space of time. Very impressive indeed.

Hi Wendy, Yes, leave it for awhile, the servers have become overloaded in the past few minutes I’ve noticed. I was almost through downloading when it slowed to an absolute crawl. I would suggest people try later or even tomorrow perhaps ;-) Cheers, Ronni On 08/03/2012, at 9:21 AM, Wendy S Aust

That makes sense. Except that they kept the "iPad 2". It's a bit like iPhone 3/3G/4S. Maybe they could have iPad HD and iPad FHD??? :-) On 8/03/12 3:37 AM, "cm" wrote: > They may be migrating to Macs style nomenclature. You just buy an iMac or a > 15" MacBook Pro, or a MacBook Air, you do

Re: New iPad details

They may be migrating to Macs style nomenclature. You just buy an iMac or a 15" MacBook Pro, or a MacBook Air, you don't specify a model number. So perhaps from here on in there are just iPads. C On 08/03/2012, at 3:32 , Daniel Kerr wrote: > They might just call this one the new iPad. Then wh
