Backup before installing iOS 5 – possible data loss

October 12th, 2011 admin

Lots of people on Twitter are currently reporting issues when upgrading to iOS 5 which was released by Apple today.

Apparently many people are losing apps, music and photos during the upgrade process.

Make sure that you run a complete backup via iTunes before installing this update, and if possible take your own copy of the iTunes files before running the install.

We’ll update this post with further news and suggestions as we here them.

If you’ve experienced problems, lost apps, and/or have solutions, please let us know in the comments.

    I didn’t realize my phone didn’t backup while ios5 was installing. My phone then got stuck during the new setup screen so I did a restore.

    This wiped by phone clean, and when I went to update from the last backup I saw that it did not happen before ios5 installation.

    Normally I back my iPhone up regularly, but I was away on vacation and excited to upgrade right when I returned. 200 photos lost…
