I have the latest iTunes installed (10.6) and I am as up to date as I can be with my SL (OS 10.6.8). With WiFi I tried through the General Settings>Software Upgrade on both devices (iPhone 4S & iPad (1). The ball kept spinning until the message " Unable to Check for Upgrade ... An error occurred while checking for the software update ... Cancel or Try Again" came up.
Next I tried connecting my iPad to my iMac 10.6.8, opened iTunes, clicked to download iOS 5.1 and got this message: "There was a problem downloading the software for the iPad. The network connection could not be established." I followed the troubleshooting instructions on the Apple website and found I was still unable to download on either my iPad or iPhone 4S.
My DSL and WiFi seem to be working as they should.
If I wait several days then try again, do you think this will resolve the download problem I am experiencing, or is there something else going on here that I need to be aware of?
