LED light

Update went well. Got the error message twice but just make sure your pc/mac is up to date then try again. I had to update my MAC first then it worked fine...But question...

Under Settings and accessibility, there is something about flash LED for alerts, can explain what this feature is about please?

While attempting to update my husbands iPhone 4 I had issues with the backup portion, resolved those by a computer restart...

Then all was going well until the dreaded error message....

"iPhone cannot be restored at this time because iPhone software update server could not be contacted or is temporarily unavailable. Please try again later"..... UGHHHHHHH

I noticed the send button in sms is now green instead of the blue

Yeah I like this. It changes to blue when you're using iMessage, as do the speech bubbles that the messages appear in.

Another thing I've noticed, is now in iTunes under 'Artists' it now displays the album artist rather than the actual song artists.

For example, I have the 500 Days of Summer soundtrack on my phone and whereas before it would list all the songs under their individual artists, now it lists them all under '500 Days of Summer' as an artist.

You can now add folders in the native mail app! Go into mail>mailboxes>accounts then open the specific account you want to add the folder/label to and hit edit in the top right corner while inside the account.

Edit: well u can do it in a yahoo account, but unfortunately when I try to add to gmail (set up as an exchange account) it says "Unable to create mailbox the mailbox couldn't be created on the server" I wonder if I was to change to IMAP if that would make a difference? Does anyone know?

Text messages are showing up on lock screen and in notification screen (pull down from top of screen) but no email showing up

You can swipe down from top of screen inside other apps while in landscape mode too!

Email is disabled by default. You have to enable it in the notification settings.

On iPad 1, the 5 finger pinch and swipe up gestures are not working, do nothing for me.

Any ideas? Would really like to swipe up to get my task bar.

Why when i go into notifications and edit the order they are in, after I close out and go back in they are in a different order?

I have it set to manually under sort, or do i not understand how it works? I would like to put my stock ticker to the top, then weather below and so on...

Also, if you were to sort apps: "by time" is this saying that it will sort the notifications in the notifications screen based on a first come basis? so if i get an email at 1:00 and a reminder at 2:00, the email will be above in the notifications area?

No music or videos

IPhone 4 I've tried syncing wired and wireless NUMEROUS times but I can't get any of my music or movies on. I'm not using iCloud. Any ideas?!?

Is it just me, or is anyone else prompted to enter a password when they check their voicemail?

Podcast Stuck at 1/2x Playback

Finally updated my 1st gen iPad to iOS 5 and so far everything is running smoothly except for my podcasts. I usually play them back at 2x but I have the option to change to whichever speed I desire. Since updating, playback is set to 1/2x and I can't seem to find an option to change this. Any help is greatly appreciated!

Under settings>store there is an option for "use cellular data" where it uses cellular data to download purchases. If enabled, is this basically saying that if you are not in a wifi area that is will use cellular to download apps, music, etc.?

Weather seems to go offline in Notifications. Airplane mode on and off seems to fix that.

So it appears that 3GS may not have location based reminders? I don't remember hearing about that before but it isn't an option on mine and I have seen it mentioned on other forums tonight...

Has anyone lost their voicemails when updating?

 

[rednocturne307]

Did anyone else lose their album artwork? It's still syncing so I'm holding out hope that it'll be restored... That's kind of annoying though. I had to manually apply artwork for a lot of my music.
