Problems after upgrading to the iPhone 5S

After upgrading to the iPhone 5S 2 weeks ago I've had nothing but problems. It's quite sad because I had the iphone 4s for 2 years and had no problems whatsoever. Anyways... ever since I got the new phone I've been getting the "imessage waiting for activation" message on and off everyday, and today my phone started freezing on the lock screen and then restarting itself over and over. It won't let me press any other button and is unresponsive when I plug it into itunes.
I've already called my cellphone service provider (Bell) and Apple tech support and had no help from either.
Should I take the phone in to get it replaced? Do I go to Bell or Apple?
Help Please! I've tried everything off of these forums!

Restore the iOS software using iTunes, first also restoring a backup, and if needed as new, without using a backup/

iOS: Unable to update or restore
If restoring as new, without restoring a backup doesn't help, you need warranty servcie from Apple, not Bell

PC Suite problems after upgrading to the newest ve...

My Nokia PC Suite just notified me there is a new version. I had no problems running the previous version under my Vista but thought - what the hell, let's see what's new.
It turns out the upgrade disabled my internet connectivity (one touch access says no modem found), PC Sync is not working (cannot synchronise and when I click the "settings" button nothing happens) and I don't see the Nokia Phone Browser in Windows Explorer.
Tried reinstalling the Suite and connected apps, did not help.
Am I the only one with such problem?

Hi.
I've got exactly the same problem. Upgraded from 6.81 to 6.84. I don't really care about 'many' options that pc suite offers, I just want to know WHY THE HELL when I press the SETTING button in PC Sync NOTHING HAPPENS??
I'm really anoyed now, can't sync my data at all. Thanks to you nokia developers...
I'm also running windows vista 32bit and don't tell me I should use a system restore option as it doesn't work even... Believe me, I've tried it not only once. After the restore, it says that I need to reinstall the pc suite... very funny.
DO SOMETHING for god's sake :/
Ohh... I also did the same what @dozer did. Uninstalling PC Suite, purging the Registry of all Nokia entries etc etcMessage Edited by zyxma on 30-Jul-200701:25 AM

IMAC: when we try to download PDF or .xlsx files, Firefox crashes. Recent problem after upgrading to the most recent version.

PDF and .xlsx files are unable to download without Firefox crashing. Running on IMAC, current OS.

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

Problem after upgrading to iPhone iOS 7

Gentlemen Apple
I have a problem after upgrading to iPhone iOS 7

I have the same issue after upgrad my iphone 5 to IOS7?? what is the reason and what is the solution?

Iphone 4 not recognised by laptop after upgrading Itunes, the itunes symbol and a usb cord has appeared on my Iphone 4 screen. Frustrated isn't the word.

iphone 4 not recognised by laptop after upgrading Itunes, the itunes symbol and a usb cord has appeared on my Iphone 4 screen. Frustrated isn't the word.
After installing latest version of Itunes, I connected my Iphone via USB and selcted yes to upgrade my Iphone, towards the end of the upgrade a notification popped up indicating that the upgrade had failed. Since then my Iphone just isn't responding, I've tried reinstalling Itunes, turning off Norton Security.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you Carolyn,
I've been through all those and apart from anything else, itunes is not seeing my phone, I therefore cannot restore the phone.
Have tried deleting and reinstalling itunes in case something was missing there, though the fact the problem is on both my mac and my windows machine seems to me to suggest a phone problem..
Is it possible that the latest IOS update which I did a week or so ago was not completed correctly? If so could this cause the problem? And how can I correct it?
Many thanks

Apple maps has received a poor performance rating just after introduction of the iPhone 5. I am running google maps app on the phone. Siri cannot seem to get me to a specific address. Where does the problem lie? Thanks.

Apple maps has received a poor performance rating just after introduction of the iPhone 5. I am running Google Maps app on the phone. SIRI cannot seem to get me to a specific address. Where does the problem lie? Also can anyone tell me the hierarchy of use between the Apple Maps, SIRI, and Google maps when the app is on the phone? How do you choose one over the other as the default map usage? Or better still how do you suppress SIRI from using the Apple maps app when requesting a "go to"?
I have placed an address location into the CONTACTS list and when I ask SIRI to "take me there" it found a TOTALLY different location in the metro area with the same street name. I have included the address, the quadrant, (NE) and the ZIP code into the CONTACTS list. As it turns out, no amount of canceling the trip or relocating the address in the CONTACTS list line would prevent SIRI from taking me to this bogus location. FINALLY I typed in Northeast for NE in the CONTACTS list (NE being the accepted method of defining the USPS location quadrant) , canceled the current map route and it finally found the correct address. This problem would normally not demand such a response from me to have it fixed but the address is one of a hospital in the center of town and this hospital HAS a branch location in a similar part of town (NOT the original address SIRI was trying to take me to). This screw up could be dangerous if not catastrophic to someone who was looking for a hospital location fast and did not know of these two similar locations. After all the whole POINT of directions is not just whimsical pasttime or convenience. In a pinch people need to rely on this function. OR, are my expectations set too high?
How does the iPhone select between one app or the other (Apple Maps or Gppgle Maps) as it relates to SIRI finding and showing a map route?
Why does SIRI return an address that is NOT the correct address nor is the returned location in the requested ZIP code?
Is there a known bug in the CONTACTS list that demands the USPS quadrant ID be spelled out, as opposed to abreviated, to permit SIRI to do its routing?
Thanks for any clarification on these matters.

siri will only use apple maps, this cannot be changed. you could try google voice in the google app.

HT4436 Hey I received an email saying someone logged onto my iMessage and FaceTime. Does that happen after you update the iphone? I just downloaded the new upgrade.

I spoke too soon. I tried Facetime again last night and had the same problems. Another factory reset did not work. I think it may be time to just call Apple support.

Using 3G iphones after upgrading to the iPhone4

I have upgraded the family to the iPhone4,
I now have three 3G iP's, in boxes.
Can the 3G be used as ipods and mail account over the wifi. since the Sim cards have been deactivated.
is it safe to resell the 3g after you reset the iphone. as fare as I can tell none of our personal info is on the phone. Is there some hidden file that might have our data on it.
Message was edited by: MajorMatt

You can use a no longer activated iPhone as an iPod Touch, but in order to install a firmware update on a no longer activated iPhone or restore a no longer activated iPhone with iTunes if wanted or needed, the no longer activated SIM card must be inserted in the iPhone - the SIM card that was used with the iPhone when it was activated.
Performing an erase all contents and settings reset option on an iPhone is a secure erase. When selling an iPhone, remove the SIM card since the buyer will need to use a different SIM card when activating the iPhone.

"General" in Settings won't open after I installed the iphone 4.0 upgrade.

"General" in Settings won't open after I installed the iphone 4.0 upgrade. Any ideas?

Have you tried to reset? Hold off button and home button together until Apple apears.

Hey there Noel,
It sounds like you are unable to activate your iPhone after you reset it. I recommend the steps from the following article to help you get that resolved:
Get help activating your iPhone
If your carrier provided a SIM card, make sure it's in your iPhone.
Restart the iPhone.
Try to reach the activation server another way, then try to activate.
Try connecting to a known-good Wi-Fi network if you can't activate using a cellular data connection.
Try connecting to iTunes if you can't activate using Wi-Fi.
Restore the iPhone.
Check the system status for iOS Device Activation. If the iOS Device Activation status isn't green, try activating your iPhone later.
If you receive an alert message when you try to activate your iPhone, place the iPhone in recovery mode and perform a restore. If you still can't complete the setup assistant due to an activation error, contact Apple for assistance.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the best,
Sterling

Problems after upgrade: Leopard to Leopard no longer works

My sister upgraded to Leopard on her iMac(c2d) to Leopard yesterday. Earlier in the day we were able to do video chats with a number of people(her machine Tiger to Fathers machine Leopard). However, since upgrading, we've experienced weird behavior for video chats. Basically in her window she won't see her image(the small one), and I don't see her at all. We've tested this out with a number of other iChat accounts and get the same results. Btw, all machines that are chatting with her are using Leopard. Also, all other forms/capabilities work: screen sharing, sharing of pictures, audio chats.
Anyone out there have similar problems after upgrading from Tiger to Leopard? I have done the usual adjustments of bandwidth and QT settings, as well as restarts. What else should I try?
tia,
n

I finally resolved this problem: I think the issues/steps would be helpful for anyone who experiences iSight off or not working problems after upgrading to Leopard(then to 10.5.1) on a intel 20" iMac :
Problem:
-If you have an internal iSight on an iMac and your camera works fine in Tiger
-If you upgrade to Leopard
-If Chat camera doesn't show your image (iSight off) even though the green light is on
-You can see the other persons video on iChat
-Your friends can here you and you can share screens, files, etc.....everything but have them see you
These are the initial steps I took:
- Deleted the pLists(or stored preferences for the Application) described at the top of this thread
- Was told it might be slow internet connection so did various things: disconnected other computers, changed wireless to "G" only
- Specifically Opened of ports spec'd for Leopard on router (even though I hadn't needed to do this under Tiger)
- Tried chats with various people on various fast/slow networks
- Restarted all aspects of the network: router, wireless access point, computer
- Checked to see if the iSight was shown in 'System Profiler'. It was found in 'About This Mac->More Info->System Profiler->USB'
- Clicked Video icon in iChat Buddies window(to the right of your name) and coudn't see my image
- Opened 'PhotoBooth' and coudn't see my image(black screen)
- Opened iMovie and couldn't capture video via the iSight(black screen)
- Opened iChat->Preferences->Video and couldn't see my image
- Validated that 'Camera is Enabled' in iChat->Video->Camera is Enabled
If you are experiencing a similar problem with you built-in iSight, I would probably focus on the last 5 things that I did. What they showed me was that the iSight was just not capturing video even though it was capturing sound in 3 different applications.
The solution to iSight Off or iSight Not Responding or No Video is......reset your computer! I had thought my sister performed this but it turns out she hadn't. Here's the link to this procedure:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=303446
Very easy to do though: Power off computer and unplug all cables, including power cable for at least 15 seconds. Plug everything back in and power up the computer and retry clicking on the 'Video' icon next to your login name. If you see yourself then...problem is solved.
While I eventually found posts in several other forums, it took me the better part of a week. To try this simple step. I wish I had done so straight away. Oy. I guess I learned a lot about ports, speed etc.
I hope this helps.

Authorization problems after upgrade

After upgrading to the new version of iTunes, I was prompted to reauthorize my pc. It will not accept my old aol screename and password (no longer with aol), and when I created a new screename with apple, it did not copy 410 songs over. So I'm stuck. I can't authorize my pc to play those songs, and I'm getting a little frustrated. Of course, aol is no help at all since they're found in the bottom ring of ****. Any suggestions?

Hi all.
I resolved my own problem.
Additional to the permission settings as they are explained in note 804996, you must add the Directory Security - Authentication & Access Control, set to Integrated Windows Authentication.
Otherwise Windows NTFS security will block you.
Gr.,
Marc.
