iOS 5

My Gmail catches it and sorts spam before it sends it to the device....

That's something that should be handled at the account level server side.

All your device does is retrieve mail from a mailbox.

Why introduce the overhead at the device level when it can be dealt with universally at the account level?

How do you do that? I must have missed that class.

Because not all junk mail gets caught by standard rules on the server. E.g. you sign up to be on the mailing list of some organization, then later decide they send you too much email, but you can't seem to get taken off their list. Retailers do this, so do political organizations. It's not "junk" exactly, and in my experience the server side filters don't catch it. This is different than the pure spam e.g. Viagra, penile enhancement, Nigerian transactions, etc. Remember iOS is being developed into a standalone OS, i.e. you may not have a Mac/PC at all, so no convenient way to access the email server and tell it what you want blocked. The processing involved on the device is easy, it just checks the sender against the list of "junk" senders that you've designated. Similar to how it is handled in Mac Mail.

Go to the "new" Photos icon after performing the iOS5 upgrade, there's a plus sign for "add" now.

got it, thanks

5 pm and 73% battery. I can live with this. I don't know why battery life has improved. Maybe draining to near zero and recharging helped.

Having issues with email now - though I have it set to check automatically for new mail, it won't update as before. It is a yahoo email account. Anyone experience this as well? Anyone know the fix?

[azasadny]

Ios5 is working well for me. Several problems I was having are now fixed.

[redstrosekNic]

I'm getting error -5000 when my iPad 2 is backing up before installing the update. It says if I
continue, I will lose all of my stuff. Does anyone know what this error is???

[cgarr]

I lost my camera zoom on my ip4. Or where did it go after the upgrade?

My upgrade wiped out my email settings for sending email. Check your settings...

That's the part I don't understand -- the settings are all set to autmatically check for new mail, but it only checks when I tap the email icon. (I do close the email app when I'm done checking my email, but in the past, it would still check for new email)

Weird.

There is push, check on a schedule that you set (every 15, 30, 60 minutes) and manually.

My exchange (work) account is set to push, my personal accounts are all set to manual Fetch.

If the problematic account is set to push check and see if it's pushing the correct folder, should be Inbox.

Don't understand that part.

You mean you hit the home button after checking mail?

That won't quit the app, just backgrounds it.

The upgrade to iOS5 broke my Airprint function. With the previous OS I could print to my Windows printer. Now the printer is no longer seen by iOS5. The only solution I have found is to spend 10 bucks on some program that will allow printing.

No - I double tap the home button (to see what apps are running in background), tap&hold email, and when the little red x appears (and the app icon is shaking), I hit x to close the app. (iPhone4) In the previous iOS, even if the mail app is closed, it would still let me know I have new mail.

I did a test where I left the app open (running in background), and sent an email -- in that scenario, the auto notification did work. (But I like to close my apps once I am done with them)

Agreed. With iOS 4.2 I could use the third party program AirPrint Activator to print from iPad over my network to my wireless HP printer via Apple's AirPrint. Two taps and your were done. No more. It appears iOS 5 doesn't allow workaround programs that allow you to print to non-official AirPrint supported newer printers. (I think there are a whopping 17 "official" AirPrint enabled printers currently.)

I'll have to hope for an iOS 5 compatible update to the AirPrint Activator in the future.

I've got a couple of those other pricey printing apps, but they're a pain in the butt to operate.

Also, original iPad users don't get the iOS5 ability to switch between apps with a 4/5 finger hand swipe, or to close apps with 4/5 finger pinch.

Possible solution here: Download AirPrint Installer for Windows 7/XP/Vista | Jaxov see the comments below the article.

I'm wondering if iTunes 10.5 didn't play a part in screwing this up. My iphone is still on 4.3 and can't see printers now. Maybe Bonjour closed the holes that allowed this to work.
