iTunes is doing odd things. It keeps restarting. No matter how many times I shut it down, up it appears a few minutes later.

I guess it is the wireless sync, but it very irritating.

That kept happening to me last night before I even installed iOS 5!

In iTunes, click on your phone on the left hand side, and untick 'automatically load iTunes when phone is connected' - or words to that effect.

Worked fine this morning. Major bonus is the 'sync with iCloud' which now free's lots of space on my rather full HD!

I take it that with iCloud, on iPod Touch you have to be connected to wireless to be able to utilise it?

That did it, thanks.

I didn't try that as I thought it would only apply when connected by cable.

I believe so (if it's the same as the iPad). It'll do a daily backup to the iCloud also. You get 5GB, but your applications don't take up any space (only the app data). I'm using 2GB so far

My iPhone won't update to OS5. Is it only for newer phones?

ETA: I'm not getting an error. It just says that 4.2.1 is the latest version, and my phone is up to date.

Mine uploaded OK last night and everything is restored OK. Only problem I can see is that I don't have the camera icon on the lock screen.

Still to work out iMessage stuff but not overly bothered as I have never used my allocated 500 free SMS a month.
