Yep, when trying to sync the apps before, only a few went over. I know the JB ones wont, but the legit ones didnt either.

well what i did was i did a backup of my iPhone.

then i restored to iOS 5. and then told it to copy back my backup of my iphone when it asked me to set up the phone as either new or from a backup. so everything was intact including apps etc etc.


this was also back last week with the beta version of iTunes and the Golden Master of iOS5. dont know if that makes a difference.

you did?

sorry didnt pay attention.

i didnt have that problem when i upgraded to iOS5. i just had issues cause i ran out of hard drive space for the new backup it was creating

i have since deleted my backups for my 3GS and Original iPhone because i dont have the 3GS anymore and dont use my Original.

im serious! i only got an 80GB 10,000rpm hard drive for my OS, and when iTunes backs up my iPhone to the drive it eats up like 8gb.

and sometimes it decides to make multiple backups. so thats 8GB each.

now imagine if i went with SSD?


there is no option and as far as i can tell with my quick 5 minute google search. said i have to get some program called "junction" or something that tells the folder im saving my backup to, to actually redirect to the location of my choice.

I've been using Super Mario Bros text tones. First I used the sound when you get a mushroom to get big. Now I'm using the 1up sound.

How do you ex iOS4 jailbreakers like 5?

iOS 5 does almost everything I wanted to do with my JB 4. Only thing really missing is SBSettings and changing up the look every now and again.

No issue installing 5 here either. No need to re-install anything.

Excellent. I have been using the exclamation for texts and the codec as my ringer. They definitely get your attention. haha

Oh, and I'm expecting my 4S in the mail tomorrow.
So happy to be upgrading form my Droid Eris
