iOS 5 Release log
Apple today released the final consumer version of iOS 5, a major and most ambitious upgrade to its mobile operating system yet. Apple has also released Find My Friends and AirPort Utility apps, enabled iCloud accounts for everyone, flipped the switch on the Newsstand Store and rolled out music re-downloading service dubbed iTunes in the Cloud in the U.K., Canada, Australia and other international markets. The iOS 5 packed with over 200 new features.
You’re advised to perform a full backup of your iOS device in iTunes to restore to in case something goes wrong. Simply connect your device to a computer, launch iTunes 10.5, right click the device in the Devices pane and click the Back Up option.
Alternatively, copy the backup folder to a safe location, such as an external hard drive or a USB thumb drive. iTunes places the backup files in the following places:
Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
Windows Vista and Windows 7: \Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
