If you already have iOS5 downloaded...

Just try "Update" within iTunes. It shouldn't be a problem now.

If it is a problem, or it tries to spend ages performing a backup, then instead of clicking on Update, shift-click on Restore and browse to the firmware location (e.g. on Windows, it's "C:\Users\<name>\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\iTunes\<iDevice Name> Software Updates\*.ipsw"
Cheers Matt.

It does appear to be working through itunes, but it's very slow.

I'll see if it completes before I try anything else.
