I got the update downloaded, but then it needed to backup the ipad. It's been 20 minutes and all I see is a SLIVER of progress. This is the 2nd time - The first time I unplugged the ipad, did a hard reset, thinking there was some issue, but it's doing it again ... Any ideas? any one else having these problems?
Got a tip for us?

I'm glad I made sure both my iPad 2 and iPhone 4 were updated to 5 last night before the crush. Today and Friday will be the day we see what those iCloud servers are made of.
Ah...Just occurred to me that the "backing up" might well be backing up to iCloud. If that's the case I can understand the massive crush.
BTW, I've gotten the same message a couple of times today when I restarted this entire operation. iTunes tells me that I have purchases on my iPad that have not been transferred to my iTunes library. Tells me I should transfer them before continuing but I have no idea what "purchases" it is talking about.
Anybody have a clue?
Lol I am getting the same thing with Lion from the app store for my MacAir.
I guess I should have done it before today......
Don't want it on my iMac though.

Just simply right click on your iPad icon in the right column whehre it says yourname's iPad and click on where it says transfer purchases from.... and do it.
you will be good as gold.
I will download tomorrow.
Today the WHOLE planet is downloading it.
Will I die if I download tomorrow?
Will Tim Cook give me a brand new iPhone 4S if I download today?
Be patient. The world doesnt even know you exist... just download it tomorrow.

My download speed was up and down, first it started of fast then slowed down then sped up really quickly.
Mine seems to have forgotten to restore apps and skipped ahead to restoring music and videos, which is taking an absolute *age*...
I hadn't realised it was a new feature that you can use the phone while it's syncing / restoring so I was initially confused that iTunes thought it was restoring stuff but the iPhone seemed oblivious. Would be handy if there was some sort of icon in the status bar that showed you that it was restoring things.
I'm hoping that once the music / videos restore is finally finished that I can go back and restore the apps manually - otherwise I will be rather pissed off as it will have forgotten all my saved game progress etc. My text and call history seems to be intact ok, and contacts mail etc. is all handled by google sync anyway.
