Anyone else here in the post-PC era?

It just won't do the update magic it needs to. I can access it: just not update my brand new iPad.I shall be talking to an advisor on Friday morning to resolve the problem so I should reserve judgement till then.But I'm irrationally annoyed that my new iPad and new PC can't get it together to boot up iOS 5.B'ah!

All that.New iPod 2.Says it can't back up my pad due to unspecified error.It will all come out in the wash, but colour me vexed.

Thanks, PaulK.I had the 3200 error. I'll wait a while and give it another go.

You should still have all of you books on your computer. It's a chore to put them all back on the pad but it' all still there.Similar thing happened when I put my iPhone on a new PC. I also had lug all my bootlegged music into my iTunes folder on the new PC.

There's 200 or so new things that let you, um, well, er, have integrated Twitter?Yeah, your right it's just about being a bit shiny.That said I sat watching the 'restore iPad apps' pane flash green. Still, at least it's working now.

All done and dusted.Got to say I'm underwhelmed. Wi fi sync is good but apart from that?Not feeling it.

You can get siri on the iPad 2?Abe: the wifi sync does not seem to work and I can't link to iCloud.B'ah!Edited by Larni, : No reason given.

The notification centre is for your notifications; so that they don't barge into other apps, like before.Location based reminders remind you of things based on your location e.g. 'it's 8am, your in the loo, take a dump'.I think siri is some kind of natural voice comand for the iPohone 4S.Edited by Larni, : No reason given.

Well say I'm hard at work playing Doom on my pad and I get an email.Time was the app would freeze and I'd have to exit Doom, fire up Safari and read my lastest invitation to meet real Russian girls for fun.Now a ticker tape rolls across the top of the screen without having to exit the app.I'm with you on the location reminders: If'n I can't remember to buy food when I'm in the shops or telephone patients when I'm at work I should be shot like a dog.And buggered if I'm going to make any use out of icloud. I make a point of having different apps on my pad and phone because I use them for different things.I don't want music on my pad, nor do I want games on my phone (well not big time gobbling ones, anyway). And given that a laptop is nearly always on in my house anyway the devices will sync to that perfetly fine.Can't seem to find anything useful with icloud.

As best as I can see the only thing to write home about is the permasync iCloud allows.And given that you start with 5 gigs data storage limit and have to buy more I can't see how anyone can back up thier devices without buying more iCloud real estate.Unless I'm missing something Apple can shove iCloud up their arse.

I'm going to try to get to bottom of that when I get home. I think by enabling iCloud you disable wifi sync.

To get it to sync via wifi you need to to enable it in the iDevice pane 'Summary' and then go to General on the device, then iTunes sync. It appears you can sync and use the device now, also.There is also an option to enable iCloud back up on the Summary page.Hope that helps.Abe: and, and, and while it is syncing it's beaming comics over from the PC to the pad which I can read as it syncs, during the act of syncing.I tried pulling the power lead and it kept on syncing, also. Edited by Larni, : No reason given.

In iTunes on the left hand side of the screen.Top item is Library.Half way down if your iPhone or pad or whatever is plugged into the computer it will show the device in the Device heading.Click that and you access the iPhone or whatever. This screen has several headings, Summary is the one you want, I think.Hope that helps.

Not as far as I can see. Only needs to be done once, though.

It does work; it's far slower than wired but if you check the right boxes it does work.
