The iOS 5 GM is the official version, you won’t need to update through iTunes if you install the GM build, but you will be able to restore through iTunes if need be. You will need iTunes 10.5, however:

I can’t move the split keyboard on my iPad 2 running iOS 5 GM. Is anyone also experiencing this?

WIll this be resolved during the official iOS 5 launch? :/

I know this may be a dumb question but is this update the exact same as the one that’s coming out on the 12th?

Yes, but if you’re already on iOS 5 GM there is no need to update to iOS 5 at the public release, unless of course an update occurs before then and now, which is very unlikely.

If you update to iOS 5 gm and you’re not a developer, can you still get the official iOS 5 on Oct. 12th? Thanks!

I downloaded and installed the GM on an ipad2 and an iPhone 4. Both went just fine and ios5 is up and running on both. BUT – iCloud does not function! It won’t sync calendar across devices, no photo stream, no documents in iWork apps, etc… It’s all signed in and turned on in Settings, but nothing works.cis this just because they haven’t officially launched iCloud, or am I doing something wrong?

Try different download links, I’ve had to download many identical files before I get one that works

iOS 5 GM, doesn’t require a UDID activation, just search iOS 5 gm download and get to a non apple website with download links from filesharing website and download the right file for you device, and then make sure you have the beta iTunes and then plug it in, shift+restore and point it to the gm and your sweet let it install and your all G

It’s ‘option’ + restore on a Mac, not shift.
