Clipboard broken in iOS 8

ok this has been happening since iOS 8 got released, and is still happening with 8.1
It generally begins with copying a link from Safari, either by using the copy button at the bottom of the browser or copying the link directly in the navigation bar. Then pasting that link anywhere, in a note etc... what happens is that the link in question is not copied at all: instead, the previous clipboard content is being copied. This can happen ten times in a row until what was copied from Safari actually populates the clipboard.
Now that's getting really upsetting, as earlier today while doing just that I pasted a previously copied mail account password in a reminder, instead of getting the link I expected. That's not funny anymore. I realized it soon enough so the password wasn't synced. But this bug, because that's a bug, has to be fixed once for all.
Now the worse is that once you've managed to actually copy and paste what you wanted from Safari, attempting further copying of any other content in other apps keep failing repeatedly. The Safari copied stuff remains present in the clipboard.
And no, I do not use any third party clipboard manager, never did and never will.
As to safari, this issue could be linked to another issue where the "autofill password" button remains present above the keyboard when non- relevant zones are active, like a reply zone in a forum etc...
Thanks for testing and fixing.

don't know if you're referring to the fact that this is a forum of users "only" ... what I know is that Apple reads the threads, sometimes (rarely I admit) replies here, sometimes mails or calls the posters etc... so, the "fix and test thx" is, obviously addressed to Apple. As to what needs to be fixed, I thought I mentioned it already ... the clipboard in iOS 8. Posting about the issue here means that other affected users can post in the same thread if needed, and that's useful isn't it?
Haven't reported the bug yet on the feedback page, will do that too.

I updated vietmobile remote files app. this app is broken on iOS 5.1.1 I do not have a backup of the previous version of the (paid) app, how can I roll back to the previous version? Is there a repository of previous versions? Am I boned?

Seems silly to not allow a rollback from a file repository of previous app versions.

>All apps are tied to the account that downloaded it, so to be able to sync back the previous version you would need to still have your copy of that version
I'm not sure I follow, I have not sync'd the ipad with my computer. I just saw an update in the app store and took it.
I tried to del and install the app from the purchased tab in the app store, that reinstalled v2.1 of the app. This also fails to launch.
I have made two service requests to the developer, no response at this time.
Is there somewhere I can download and install Remote Files version 2 file? I can only find the new version 2.1 in the app store.

ITunes Match Broken After iOS 8 - Only downloads a few tracks, icons spin on every track in library

I have upgraded both my iPad Air and iPhone 6 to iOS 8.1, and iTunes Match is broken in two ways that make it unusable.
First, every single song on both devices (except those already downloaded to the device) has the "spinning wheel" icon as if I tried to download the song from the cloud... but I have not tapped Download on any tracks. The iTunes Store "Downloads" list confirms that nothing at all is downloading. If I tap one of those spinning wheels... it becomes a progress wheel and the track begins to download, and shows up in the iTunes Store's Downloads list. So the icon for every track is just wrong, the little cloud-arrow replaced with a spinning (or sometimes stationary) wheel.
Second, and far more frustrating, is the "Download All" button at the top of a long playlist now downloads only the first 30-50 songs on that playlist. After that it just does not try to download any others, confirmed again in the iTunes Store's Downloads list. Every other song on my playlist has a stationary wheel icon (which is to say, not a spinning wheel but the same icon), and I have to tap every single one of those to get them to begin downloading. I'm going on a long vacation with minimal internet service, I want to download a bunch of music onto my new iPad and iPhone, I have playlists that are thousands of tracks long... and now I have to tap every single song on every single one to download them for offline listening, which is just infuriating.
Help!

Guess what!!!! I managed to fix it!
After much googling and experimenting - I can now download more than 25 songs in a playlist, and the songs don't get stuck with the red circle. The problem appeared to be, strangely, the syncing of folders of playlists in iTunes match.
What I did
- remove all music from phone and turn off Match
- ensure music is available for syncing in iTunes on Mac (but ensure 0 songs are synced)
- removed all folders from my playlists. Playlists do not reside in any folders anymore
- update iTunes match manually from the Store menu
- turn on match from iPhone, and download a playlist
That worked, remarkably. Some kind of buffering/caching issue when match tries to download from a playlist within a folder? How weird. Let me know if that works for you.

Home Sharing was fine, now "broken" under iOS 5 and/or iTunes 10.6

Both my Apple TVs (one is last year's 720p model, one is the recent 1080p model) drop the Home Sharing connection with the iTunes Library on my Mac. After some idle time and for no reason at all, selecting "Computer" on either aTV will result in the display "Loading [name of iTunes Library]" for a long time with the spinning wheel, then finally stop and return to the home screen. Sometimes there is an error message and sometimes there isn't. Only turning Home Sharing off and then back on on the Mac "fixes" this, but only temporarily.
I can't pinpoint if this started with iTunes 10.6 (10.6.1 did not help), or iOS 5.0 on the aTV. I can say that under iTunes 10.5.x and with the older aTV on iOS 4.x, there were zero problems. I have not since changed my home network, nor my Mac, so this is not a hardware problem on my end. Something in either iTunes 10.6.x or aTV iOS 5.x is causing this failure in Home Sharing.
Any "fixes" or work-arounds to try while we wait for Apple to fix this one? (I have already submitted two bug reports, one under iTunes, one under Apple TV.)

I got pretty tired of getting up and resetting my itunes every time I wanted to watch something on AppleTV or listen to music via the remote app, so I wrote a little ruby app to restart itunes when home sharing breaks. I noticed that the TCP port 3689 times out when this problem occurs, so I just test to see if that socket will open, if it doesn't, I send commands to close and launch itunes.
The way I figure, this will never interrupt me because I only use this instance of itunes when I'm on appletv or using my remote. If home sharing is timing out, it means I'm not in the middle of doing one of those things.
Ruby code:
require 'socket'
def is_port_open?(ip, port)
begin
    TCPSocket.new(ip, port)
rescue Errno::ECONNREFUSED
    return false
end
return true
end
while true
unless is_port_open?("127.0.0.1", 3689)
    puts "Home sharing is broken. I am going to restart iTunes. #{Time.now}"
    `osascript -e 'tell application "iTunes" to quit'`
    sleep 10
    `open -a iTunes`
    sleep 30
    puts "iTunes restarted"
end
sleep 5
end
If you want a simple way to run this script and are not too comfortable around the command line, I've posted it to amazon S3. You can just launch a terminal as the user that runs itunes and copy/paste the following:
curl http://djw.s3.amazonaws.com/homesharing-keepalive.rb > ~/Documents/homesharing-keepalive.rb && chmod +x ~/Documents/homesharing-keepalive.rb
Then execute the following when you want to run it:
~/Documents/homesharing-keepalive.rb
If a timeout occurs, you will see something like this printed in the terminal (and itunes will restart):
Home sharing is broken. I am going to restart iTunes. Mon Jun 04 15:35:28 -0400 2012
iTunes restarted
Keep the terminal minimized so this runs. If you close it, it will kill the process. You can also hit cntrl-c in the terminal to kill the script. The following will remove it from your computer:
rm -f ~/Documents/homesharing-keepalive.rb
More advanced users can use screen or other ways to background the process so you don't need the terminal running (but I don't need to tell you that).
I've only been using this for 24 hours, but it seems to do the trick.
EDIT: I should note that this is for OSX only. You could do something very similar in windows, but this won't work.

Photo order within Events broken on iOS devices synchronized with iPhoto

I have a Mac running OS X 10.8.2 with iPhoto 9.4.2 (710.42) and an iPhone and an iPad, both running iOS 6.0.1.
In iPhoto, I import photos from a memory card that I use in various digital cameras and organize them by events. I view photos inside events ordered by date in ascending order. This is also the order that I want to see my synchronized photos on my iOS devices (and which I did see in the past). I sync my photos from iPhoto via iTunes by the option "Select albums, Events and Faces automatically".
My most recently imported events cause some problems on my synchronized iOS devices. Now the photo order in the iOS "Photos" app is broken in the Events view. All photos that are taken in upright format appear BEHIND all photos taken in landscape format within an event. However, I want them to be sorted by date irrespective of the picture rotation, just as I see them in iPhoto on my Mac.
Events that I had imported earlier (before ~ mid October) are still ordered as expected, just as I see them in iPhoto.
According to this, the sorting of iPhoto should be preserved: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4221
I assume that photos of newly imported events are displayed on iOS devices in the order of modification date instead of creation date (EXIF) since iPhoto automatically rotates pictures that are taken in upright format by 90° and saves them as 'modified' files besides the 'original' files. I also assume that photos of my older events are displayed in correct order on my iPad since they had already been synchronized at a time when everything worked as expected. I also tried to re-synchronized these older events on my iPhone (to see what happens) by unchecking "Synchronize Photos" -> Apply -> checking "Synchronize Photos" -> Apply and on my iPhone, those older photos are also out of order now.
Also note that my photos are ordered correctly in the "Albums -> Photo Library" view on iPhone and on the "Photos" tab on iPad. These are the same pictures as under Events. So the sorting is wrong in the Events view of newly imported events only.
I know that there are some other discussions about the order of photos on iOS devices. I want this one to be specifically about problems with a synchronized iPhoto library. Anybody else experiencing this issue?

Same issue. Ever since upgrading to iPhoto on my retina MBP to 9.4.2. Problem seen with BOTH my iPhone 5 on iOS 6.0.1 AND iPhone 4S on 5.1.1, so not an iOS issue. For me, it impacts both albums and events. In fact, sometimes you can't even see the event under iTunes->device->photo tab, until you exit iPhoto & iTunes and restart both with phone plugged in. There is a workaround for the album's mis-order: by manually sorting photos through dragging a photo to a new location within the album and then placing it back. However, this doesn't work for mis-ordered photos under events. Right now, I just have to live with it.... I have even tried removing all photos, deleting iPod photo cache, and starting anew. Even 1 event with 30 photos have the same problem.....
Really annoying as I like to see my event photos sorted by date.
Somehow, such syncing problems always seem to occur EVERYTIME there's an iPhoto upgrade. Are apple's departments so siloed? Do they not work with one another to test a software before releasing it?
Apple, please investigate and fix the issue ASAP!

ITunes Match and playlists broken in iOS 8

Since updating to iOS 8 I can no longer add songs to playlists from my phone (I have iTunes match). When attempting to add a song sometimes it gets stuck in the add screen and does not show a "done" button to press or if I add one, it just doesn't add it to the playlist. I can however add songs to the playlist from my mac and it will show up on my phone like normal, just unable to add from my phone.
Other iTunes or music app issues are songs not showing up where they should. I had a song that downloaded from a pre-order, I changed the genre to one of the main genre's I use (like normal), added it to a playlist, and now that the entire album has become available and has downloaded the first track is not able to be found through either genre (either original or my own altered genre) or artist although it still shows up on the playlist.
One more thing about adding songs to a playlist on iOS. I was glad to see that one of the buttons on the bottom (in the add screen) is playlists now as an option to add a song but if you edit the buttons on the bottom and move genre down there, it doesn't stay put. It's back on the "more" screen each time.
Here's a suggestion to any apple folks if they're reading this, besides fixing the things above, how about from the song playing screen when you press the + button that an option is to "add to playlist". When you click on that it brings you to your playlist view to select a playlist. It's a pain in the butt when say you're listening to a song on shuffle, want to add said song to a playlist so you have to back out of the song playing screen, find the playlist (for which I have multiple layers due to playlist folders) click the add button, find the song (after you move genre to the bottom again) then click on the plus sign, hit done, make sure it took it, back out of the playlist view to get back to Now Playing. For people like me who take advantage of iTunes Match and have a lot of music in their libaray, Genre and playlists are the easiest and quickest ways to find what I want to listen to and at times it's not very efficient.
Thanks for your considerations and eventual fixes.

iTunes Match has this problem with almost every iPhone software update. It's unfortunate that they cannot track down the issue. Hopefully this is not indicative of Apple's expertise when it comes to all cloud services. Music, photos and personal data are things that are important to all of us and we spend many hours on custom playlists, personal photo albums and are putting our trust that the work won't just disappear. iCloud drive is another promised feature and it's becoming tougher to trust a new free service when long-standing issues on a paid service cannot be fixed. I want to remain optimistic but so far, iTunes Match is not helping.
On a positive note, the playlists on my Apple TV matches perfectly with my iMac and was working well on my iPhone 5S. The update to iOS 8 on the 5S did NOT cause the playlists to go out of order. I have only seen this issue on new iPhone 6's and iOS 8. Also, moving playlists in and out of folders in iTunes on a Mac seems to be a temporary fix that only lasts as long as you are logged in – Signing out of iTunes Match on iOS and signing back in brings back the problem… which *****.

Is iTunes broken in iOS 5.1.1?

Since updating my iPhone 4S to iOS 5.1.1 I have been having problems with iTunes.
The app is extremely slow, taking ages to load pages and it's all-but-impossible to synchronize and update podcast feeds.
Is there an acknowledged issue with this and is Apple working to fix it?
Is there a work-around (e.g. downgrading back to iOS 5.1)?

I had the exact same problem.
Go to Settings > Store > Sign Out.
Then Sign back in using Exisiting Apple ID.
Strange I know, but it fixed my problem.

Spell check broken after IOS 6.0.1 update

After updating one of our iPads to 6.0.1 the spell checking no longer works. All of the settings (under keyboard) relating to spell checking, capitalization, "." are ON but none of these features work in any program. I powered off the iPad and restarted it but these features no longer work. I tried turning the features off and then on but no luck here. Our other iPad and both iPhones are on IOS 6.0 and these features work just fine. I don't plan to upgrade to 6.0.1 on these devices until we determine what broke in the 6.0.1 update. Any ideas or suggestions will be appreciated.

Ok, this is a bit wierd. After ckuan's reply, I was going to try the suggestion. When I turned on the iPad, before trying the suggestion, I find that spell checking is working as it should. The iPad had ben on standby for several days but not completely powered off. Don't you just love "self fixing" issues. Wished I knew exactally what happened. Anyway, thanks ckuan for the suggestion.

Review Apps is broken on iOS

I've been having problems logging into the store just to write reviews from my iOS devices, (3-4 Months) so not iOS7 related. I'm prompted to enter my AppleID password multiple times with little to no success. If I do manage to get to the review section and write an app review, when I hit the send button I'm prompted for my password again and again and again. 99% of the time the review is not posted. I've been burned so many times with cruddy apps that I feel it important to write reviews.
I've also notice strange behavior in the iTunes Account Section of the App store. As seen by the attached pictures. I used to have about 45 reviews posted, but deleted them all in hopes of fixing these ongoing issues. Unfortunately this did not fix the problem. Also a 2 hour tech support call with apple did no good either.

Copy and Paste is still broken in iOS 8.1!!

This is really ******* me off. I know there were a lot of fundamental changes to iOS 8, so I can cut Apple some slack, but this is ridiculous! It's so frustrating to copy and then paste and get OLD copy results. It's worst when dealing with long complex passwords from LastPass (which can now integrate into Safari, but not other apps). Fix this Apple!!

We are not Apple employees. We are just other users like you are. I have no problem with copy and past in iOS 8.1, but there have been other discussions about this problem. You should look for one of those discussions for a fix, or report this as a bug to Apple.
Here is one discussion.

Instant Personal Hotspot Broken in iOS 8.1 and or Yosemite 14A389

I can connect to the Personal Hotspot on my iPhone 6 Plus running 8.1 from any device without any problem except from my Macbook Pro running Yosemite via the Instant Personal Hotpot feature. Everything else works fine, including Handoff between the phone and the Macbook.
So I did an experiment. I tried to connect to the iPhone's hotspot via "Join Other Network" under the WiFi menu in Yosemite. After manually entering the name and password, voila, I'm connected. So, obviously it's Instant Personal Hotspot that's broken. And the frustrating thing is, as long as my phone and Macbook are signed in with the same iCloud account, I can't even let Yosemite connect to the phone as a regular hotspot. I'll have to do the manual connection every time!
This is just one of the many many annoyances as late with Apple products. Things really don't "just work" any more! Sigh!

Your solution worked for me while I was at the Apple Genius Bar in Houston today, and it survived one restart. Since Apple's guys in Houston did not know how to fix this issue, I shared your post with them.
As for your problem coming back, during my Genius bar session, the genius said I should be able to connect to my hotspot without having it turned on on the iPhone itself. I didn't know that (I always left hotspot on). So, we tried it. It was at that point that the problem resurfaced. So, this time, instead of deleting my iCloud account on my iPhone, I just deleted the wifi entry in the Network settings for wifi. That worked. So, my question is whether you leave your hotspot setting on at all times or not. I'm assuming you do, if you use it that much, but thought I would mention it anyway.
I'll repost if my problem resurfaces.

Conversion of large RAW images broken in iOS 7?

Under iOS 6, I was able to use the camera connection kit to import 36 MP RAW (.NEF) images from my Nikon D800 to my iPad 2, and then open them in Snapseed for quick edits while on the road. Along came iOS 7 and Snapseed crashes trying to open these files, even after a couple of app updates. (Nik Software, makers of Snapseed, has not offered any info other than "they will see if they can reproduce this").
I've since tried Filterstorn Neue (which also supports RAW images) and it too crashes when opening these large RAW files.
After importing a smaller, 6 MP RAW .NEF image to the iPad (via Dropbox) I was able to open it fine with both Snapseed and Filterstorm Neue.
My question: is anyone else having this issue with large RAW images under iOS 7, and have any work-arounds been found? I'm beginning to suspect that the RAW conversion service of iOS 7 is choking on these images (as opposed to a fault with the photo editting apps themselves), or there is a memory allocation issue.
Note, I have been successful opening these RAW images with PhotoRaw Lite, but it uses it's own conversion routines, I believe, as well as virtual memory to handle large files.

Further digging leads me to believe that the issue is that iOS 7 uses more RAM, and on the iPad 2, this doens't leave quite enough memory to open these 36MP RAW images.
If I close all background apps, I have been able to get Filterstorm Neue to open and edit these RAW images, while having any app still running in the background will cause a crash. No such luck with Snapseed as I'm guessing it uses a bit more memory than Filterstorm. This would account for why PhotoRaw can open and edit these files - it uses a virtual memory approach to load large files.
So unless iOS 7 becomes better optimised for RAM usage, or these apps are updated to use virtual memory, looks like I'm limited in which apps can open 36MP RAW images on an iPad 2. Wonder if a newer retina iPad would manage? They have more RAM I believe, but probably need more to run the display...

Broken Wireless - iOS 6 on iPhone 4S

I moved to iOS 6 and when my phone came up it could not connect to my home network. I did the following on the phone:
- Updated phone to iOS 6 from 5.1.1
- I thought maybe the network settings were messed up so I "forgot" the network and tried again, no luck.
- Reset all network settings, no luck.
- Full restore of iOS 6 and setup as a new phone (no data/apps/etc restored), no luck.
- Removed all encryption on my access point, no luck.
So I then setup a spare access point I had and the iPhone connected right away (even with the same SSID and encryption as my normal home access point). This indicates an incompatibility between iOS 6 and my access point.
It is not an encryption issue, because it can connect to an open, WEP, and WPA2 configuration on my spare access point without a problem. It can even connect to my Mini that is performing Internet Sharing.
The access point is a Netgear WG102 and before iOS 6 my iPhone 4S worked great on it. I also have an old 2gen iPod Touch, 1st gen iPad, Macbook Air, Mac Mini, etc, etc, etc on the access point with no issues. It's just my iPhone and iOS 6 that can't connect to it.
I did the following to the access point:
- running latest/greatest firmware
- changed RTS threshold, Frag length, Beacon Interval, DTIM interval, etc, with no luck.
- enabled WMM with no luck (which I saw fixed someone elses issue with a beta version of iOS 6 and their iPad)
- hard/factory reset of the access point (phone can't connect to the default and wide open "Netgear" SSID when it comes up)
The phone works on all other access points that I have tried outside my house.
Any thoughts?

Did some digging on your router. I see it's an older G band router. And apple recommends: "Routers that only support 802.11g should be put in 802.11b/g mode, while those that support only 802.11b can be left in 802.11b mode." Try switching the router to B only and see what happens.
Also, the spare access point you were able to connect to, what bands/frequencies does that one have? (a/b/g/n - 2.4 and/or 5 Ghz)?
Hmmm, not wild about going down to B only here, that will really slow everyone else down. I will have to try that later.
The other router was a Linksys WRT54GL (B/G 2.4GHz) running DD-WRT firwmare.
