What the F is with this iOS5 BULLSH*T update? It treats my device like a brand new device. All apps gone. Am I really suppose to REDOWNLOAD EVERY APP I HAD? And then re-create all the folders I had setup. Way to go Apple. This crap just convinced me to NEVER buy another iPhone again, EVER. Updates that blow away your data, your apps, your setup, your configuration, your progress. Horribly wicked.
The same thing happened to my husbands iphone. His pictures, apps, everything...gone!
Yes, true. iOS 5 blows all my apps and everything after updates.
Not a good recommendation, should improve
When I upgraded my ipad I thought the same thing. iPad was hooked up to iTunes. iTunes said it was restoring, but device said nothing. If this is what you experienced. Just leave it alone..... It is restoring. And it does take a while.
Apple can go to **** as far as I'm concerned. This is ********.
I feel your pain. I have 2 iPhone and 3 iPads with tons of apps and through painful trial and error here's what I figured out during the iOS5 update.
The upgrade process is extremely long for devices with many apps.
Same thing for me. All my contacts, settings,, camera roll, email accounts, calendars, everything gone. I can restore the apps and music, but what about everything else?
iOS update blows all apps away, all folders, all data, does NOT restore from last backup
