Looks like you chose the option to back up everything to the cloud rather than the local machine? I'm staying with the machine for apps and music sync for the moment. Documents, appointments, contacts and notes can go to the cloud.

Probably but I don't remember choosing that option. But at least my apps are still available I'll just be a little more selective what I reinstall. Now if I could just get Bluetooth to work. Laptop recognizes iPhone iPhone recognizes laptop but no connection established.

Adrian

Disregard Bluetooth problem got connection now just to work out what I can do with it. Haven't managed to transfer a file yet

I'd put money on that is what happened.

Just updated my 3Gs in less than 14 minutes of download. So dissapointed by the iphone 4Gs release. I was hoping for the 5 to come out for a handpiece upgrade. I guess i will just keep waiting and hope it comes out some time early next year.

Mick,

I think what would have made people happier is if they actually changed the shape of the phone -- a cosmetic change would resemble a new phone. Under the hood, it's all brand new -- new processor, new graphics, new camera, etc. What more could we want underneath?

Just found that if I have bluetooth enable I get no sound from the phone except incoming calls. Can't listen to music while Bluetooth on

What happens if you ask Siri to marry you??

You might have seen the new in-phone assistant (Siri) who appeared with the 4s launch. Via postsecret: what happens if you ask Siri to marry you??

Cant argue with that i was looking forward to upgrading from the 3gs but i wont bother now because knowing my luck a flash new 5 would be released a month later. A new case and bigger screen would have been enough to make me do it. Guess i will just wait a bit. Some sources are indicating April 2012 for the release of the 5. I am guessing there will be a lot of dissapointed 4s owners if that happens.

Same boat as you. I love my 3Gs, and, I'm actually glad that Optus was indicating the new 64 GB as out of stock yesterday afternoon. I will hold off until the 5.

As long as it's not locked to the network, you should be OK, I think.

In order for me to use a vodafone SIM in New Zealand, I had to go through the rigmorale of having the iPhone's IMEI unlocked by Apple via Optus (which took 3 days), then a complete backup, a full wipe/system restore before I could use another network's SIM.

Apple tends to follow a cycle of incremental change.. They skip the major changes by one generation ie 3G 3Gs 4 4s the five will come about a year from now. The April date being banded about should be for the iPad3. This is we're we should see some major change to the hardware and even the iOS to go with it. Potentially Siri could become the basis for a full voice controlled iOS (al la Star trek etc). We can only dream

All the best

Thanks everyone!

Did my upgrade and it took 1hr and the phone thought it was a new one (thanks goodness I didn't pull the pin when the white apple logo came on!), answered all the questions; including giving the iCloud a miss totally (besides we amateur astronomers don't need clouds do we?) becz I don't trust my data on someone's server with me having zilch control over it - and everything restored fine and worked right away

Cheers
Bill

Admittedly I was hoping for the 4S to be a 5 release but upgrading from the 3GS to the 4S is fine by me, especially since I'm going to a cheaper plan with more calls and data (not that I use a lot).

Have got the 4S already, just waiting for the SIM to be activated...

Did mine early yesterday, both iPhone, and iPad, both went without a hitch. Took "longer than usual", but I'll put that down to temporal distortion, as you get older, things slow down (or fail altogether).

Hi All,

I did the upgrade, and although most of it went fine, I seem to have lost all my contacts.

Music, photos are all there, - just my contacts are missing. Can anyone explain how to restore them please? If just the contacts can't be restored, I'd rather go back to the older OS, as I had a lot of important info in my contact list.

All suggestions gratefully received
