Apple IOS 5.0.1 update available

[FlyDave]

For those that have been experiencing the battery life issues on IOS 5.0, IOS 5.0.1 has been released.

I'm downloading it now directly to my iPad - no need to connect it to the PC and run iTunes any more!

I'll post on this thread any new bugs I find.

Does that also cure the deleting of pre-stored data in ForeFlight?  I have not yet upgraded to IOS 5 - I wanted to hear if there were any issues first, and the deleting of stored data automatically (which caued some issues for EFB users) if there was a small amount of memory left caused me to not yet upgrade.  I have not yet reserached into this further, as ForeFlight may have already fixed it.  Updates?

Thanks,

I am planning to down load later tonight.  

I justed used WingX to navigate Orlando, FL to Central Jersey.  I still have 45% power left in the battery....  Continuous use, no additional charging, no Icloud, just real ones....

Just one point of data."...

Can't find the secret button....

How did you update to IOS 5.0.1 wirelessly?

Do indeed the iCloud on?

 

Never mind....

Answered my own question.  Upon clearing my mind, saying ohhhhm a few times, it came to me....

The magic button can be found under settings, software update.

Now I really understand why there are such ardent followers of Apple.  It nearly makes sense to everyone.

My IPAD doesn't have a software update tab when I go to settings/general.  WTF?

74657,

Adding to what JimR says......

(1) You may need to update your iTunes to the most recent version

(2) then plug your iPad into your computer with the updated itunes

(3) sync and upgrade will be much easier...

 

I learned this the hard way.  Io5.0.1 has been worth the effort.

 

Best regards,
