New iOS update and new iPhoto

Apple released a whole bundle of updates this week and following the launch of the iPad 3, there is a new version of iOS (5.1), new versions of iMovie, Pages and Numbers apps for the iPad and iPhone, and a brand new app to add to your collection, iPhoto. Plus, iTunes has been updated too.

If you want the new apps and download the updates or buy them new, you might get this error message on the screen in iTunes:

It says that the apps are not compatible with my iPhone 4S (or iPad 2). This is nonsense. Don't believe it. This is a bad and misleading error message. Why couldn't it simply say what was wrong? What it should say is "Please update iOS to version 5.1 first." Do that and the apps install just fine.

You should see a message prompting you to download and install iOS 5.1 automatically, but if you don't, just select the iPhone/iPad/iPod Touch in the left panel and then click the button to manually check for updates.
