Apple updates - Affect on network

Wed Oct 12 21:20:39 UTC 2011

I didn't have issues downloading the update, it took less than 10min,
but I've so many apps and stuff on a 32GB iPod that the process of
backing up, upgrade, restore, somewhere in the middle you have to
confirm some settings and backing up the apps for which I still I see
23 pending updates I guess due the new version of iOS is kind of
tedious, iTunes does not provide much information besides a dialog box
saying "Restoring iPod apps", but the iPod is not with the classic
"syncing" message, on the iPod I can see the icons for the apps being
restored showing up one by one.

Besides connectivity problems and latency, the whole process seems to
take a lot of time, so be patient and plan to see your iGadget coming
back to live slowly.
