For the WiFi sync, can I only sync my iPad? I don't put any music on my iPhone so I don't want to sync that when I do so....

yes you can send GIFs

@JayzOnMyToes
It's not a separate app from the messaging one, first make sure it's turned on go to Settings > Messages and then send a text to someone who also has iMessage, if it's working the text bubble will be blue instead of green like a regular text message

iMessage will work if the other party has ios5 i believe.

The servers must have been busy yesterday. It took 3 hours to finally finish updating my MBP and IP4, and by the time I tried to update my apple tv, it said 9 hours lol. I'll try again later for that

It will only recognize devices running the 5.0 update. Until they update, any message sent to them will be shown as a text message.

If both parties are on imessage and its sent as an imessage it is pushed to all devices correct?   But if you send the message to a phone number is the number tied to a certain apple account and it knows your apple ID and pushes it?

I think its dumb that for you to send an imessage to an ipad you need that persons apple ID.  A lot of people share apple ID's within households not to mention no one has my apple ID.  I would have to give that out to all of my friends/work associates for this to work?

To those having problems with Wifi Sync, you must sync via USB after you've applied Wifi Sync or it will never work. Then, you can go cordless. You have to do this for both music and apps seperately.

Also, you can wireless sync without the device plugged into a power source so long as it's 50% or more battery life left.

Edit: Sweet Jesus, Safari is blazing fast.

So after I sync via USB and I go cordless...say I restart the CPU .. Go back on iTunes.. Will it sync wireless?

 

[srvballer]

Updated last night and loving the updates. Seems to be runnning a lot faster overall for me..

I still need to try out the WiFi sync though..

Finally was able to get it to work. Took me like 2 hours, but I like. I plan on updating my wife's iPhone 4 either tonight or tomorrow. Hopefully that goes much smoother.

Are the IPhone 4's for Sprint tomorrow going to come stock with iOS 5? The regular IPhone 4 not 4S.

What are your settings under mail for getting new emails. Do you have push or fetch on? Depending on your settings if you have it on push it should be sent to your phone once you hit send from your computer. If fetch is on lets say 15 minutes it'll check for new emails every 15 minutes, if you have one then you'll get a notification.

I have it on push. I wonder if it is cause I use g-mail. I remember using yahoo and I would get e-mails right away. For some reason, I can only get e-mails from g-mail if I go into my account.

yeah, gmail can use push. google the settings

Big fan of iOS 5, but had to redownload all of my paid apps.

Yes, it should. Only the initial first sync is required.

**Those without wireless routers who have Windows 7, download connectify.me and use your built-in wireless adapter as a hotspot. Connect your iPad to your PC and you'll be able to do wireless syncs that way as well.

Wow....I had no idea this is how you setup Gmail for push and I've had the first gen iPhone too.
