  • I upgraded my iPad (first gen) to iOS 5.1 and now it will randomly turn off.  How can I fix this?

    Thread title pretty much says it all.
    Shortly after upgrading to iOS 5.1, my 1st gen iPad started randomly turning off when I wasn't using it.
    -This has been occuring for over a month now.
    -It has not yet turned off while I'm actually using it, only after I've left it along for awhile
    -If I leave it plugged in, it doesn't turn off
    -I have trouble turning it back on after this occurs.  (I have to press/hold the button several times before it will finally turn on)
    -I've noticed that a lot of the time when I turn it back on, it will initially (for a second or two) show a battery % that is lower than what it actually is (ex. it will show 72% when I turn it on but then jump up to 90% after a second or two)
    Seems to me like it's something related to iOS 5.1 that my iPad doesn't like, likely a batter issue.  Although having trouble turning it back on would lead me to believe it might be something more.  It is an iPad 1 so maybe it's just getting up there in mileage.
    Any suggestions on what to do?  I neglected to take any backups.  Unless someone gives me other input, I'm planning on taking a backup of my current iPad and then restoring to factory settings just to see if that will solve this issue.  Although that's going to be a pain in the butt to get all my apps and everything back.  If I restore to factory settings, is there any way I can "upgrade" the to iOS 5.0 (or anything below the latest)?

    No, you haven't lost anything.  Simply sign into your iTunes account on the computer.
    As for the device not syncing, what specially happens when you try to sync?

  • I want to turn off iMessage for certain contacts

    Is this possible?  Sometimes, I love never missing a text from certain people.  But for the majority, I don't need their texts going to my iPad, iPhone, Laptop, AND MacPro all at once.  It's annoying having to delete them on each device.

    Hi TimWB0216,
    You can use the steps in this article to block certain people from sending you messages -
    Messages (Mavericks): Block or allow messages
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH15035
    At this time the people who are blocked are not synced across devices, so you would have to do this on each device. Your idea about doing so sounds interesting, however. You may want to submit it as feedback to Apple. Use this website -

  • I have replaced my laptop and installed iTunes. When I try to sync my iPad or iPhone it says they are already linked to another iTunes library. How do I get back to my original library.

    I have replaced my laptop and installed iTunes. When iffy to sync my iPad or iPhone it says they are already linked to another iTunes library and will only let me transfer purchased items. How do I get back to my original library.

    Check out the solution found here.
    If you do a restore you will lose everything.  Some things will be backed up in iCloud but not everything.

  • If I turn off iMessages on my iphone 5 and only use SMS, I am hoping this will this stop ALL my messages going to partners ipad? I only want 2 use SMS and not have any of my messages go to partners ipad so dont want to alter ipad settings.

    My situtation is this, my soon to be ex previously set up an ipad with both our numbers and we share a linked itunes/icloud account so if my phone is off he gets all my messages via his ipad that I DO NOT have access to his ipad at ALL. I can't set up my own itunes account (not yet until I leave him) otherwise he will know I am leaving him and it will cause major problems. So I was hoping that if I turn off iMessages on my iphone 5 and just talk to my family via SMS and NOT touch his precious ipad mini, that he wont be able to get my messages anymore and if I turn off iCloud storage and back up as well on my iphone only. Is this correct? Its just a temporary solution I am hoping. I have searched for days and hours and I just cant find this answer anywhere....
    Do I HAVE to turn off my phone number off or delete it on his ipad? I am really hoping I can just do this at my own end and not touch his ipad in anyway or have to change my itunes id YET. Once I leave him shortly, I will create a whole new ID etc.  I just wanna know if I can do this myself on my iphone only. Please any experienced help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you so very much.

Its just a temp thing and I just want to take action myself on my own phone and want to know if this will work. Does anyone know?
    SMS messages will not go to the iPad Mini. It's not capable of receving them. If you have access and can do it without it causing a problem, remove your iPhone from the Apple ID Support profile:
    Go to: https://supportprofile.apple.com/MySupportProfile.do
    Log in if not already logged in.
    Click on "Edit Products"
    Click on the "X" to the right of the product.
    Click "Unregister"
    If anyone in your family uses iMessage, they will go to both you and your boyfriend unless you do that.
    To be completely safe, you may want to simply use an alternate message app such as Skype, Viber, Whatsapp (assuming everyone has a smartphone) until the issue is resolved. Google Voice will also allow you to send and receive texts to another number on your phone.
    Best of luck.

    TechCrunch posted a solution today that applies to this problem, I think.
    Go to: https://supportprofile.apple.com/MySupportProfile.do
    Click your old iPhone and "unregister" it.

  • I currently have Imessage turned off on my phone since there is no blocking feature on the Iphone 4.  If I change my phone number and turn on Imessage, how do I make sure I won't get Messages from person I have blocked?

    I have the Iphone 4 but before this I had a different phone and had blocked someone from contacting me via calls/texts.  Unbeknownst to me, when I got the Iphone 4, that I cannot block Imessages.   I have turned off Imessage for the time being but I'm seriously considering changing my phone number.  If I change the number with my carrier and turn Imessage back on,  what do I have to do to ensure that any previous messages don't come through and any future messages cannot be sent?
