Since installing iOS 5 I am unable to send international texts to contacts.

After intsalling iOS 5 (aswell as 5.0.1 a few days ago) I am unable to send international text messages, both sms and imessages, to anyone in my contact list. I can though send them if I manually insert their number.
This does in fact automatically substitute the inserted number with the entry I have in my contact list, yet will only send the message this way.
If I simply select someone from my contact list, it will give me a "message send failure" error.
I have attempted this through an Iphone 4 with a +44 vodafone sim to Italian (+39) numbers.

Also, I have attempted this with both the International Assist on and off. The sim seems to work normally on other phones.

Since installing iOS 8, why do I receive new text message alerts when I send text messages?

When I send an outgoing text message, I receive a new text notification in the form of a badge on my text message app. Any ideas how to make this stop?
Specs:

Sonds like you guys are sharing the same apple id. Go to settings - message - send and receive and make sure your phone number is the default for both phones.

Anyone have any solutions?

Addendum
Sending straight from the mail client in any/all of the Yahoo accounts works just fine. The bug just seems to happen when sending links from Safari.

My video camera will not zoom since installing iOS 7

Since installing iOS 7 on my ipad retina the video will not zoom during recording. In iOS 6 I could zoom the recorded video.
Any answers please.

Me too. Since upgrading to iOS7, Siri gives me "I'm sorry about this..." MOST of the time. Fine on weather; 100%, but if I ask to send someone a message or text, it 'thinks' for a long time and eventually says "I'm really sorry about this". My friend's iPhone 5 works instantly, side by side; completely different yet same version of iOS and all settings same. I've tried everything: hard resets, switching Siri on and off, reset net prefs and all settings, even tried a different sim, everything I can think of, but Siri is still slow, unresponsive and 100% fails on complex tasks. Anyone any more ideas?

Since installing IOS 5 on my iphone4, the music gets mixed up and sometimes it won't even play it !

Since installing IOS 5 on my iphone4, the music gets mixed up and sometimes it won't even play it !
Even after many tries of sync, it won't work like before...
Anyone had the same problem?

Same problem here, but I found a solution that worked for me:
Altered from original solution from Emily P:
Okay, mine now works here is what I did.
plug in the iPhone, iPad etc
in iTunes select the phone or iPad
Under Summary uncheck "Sync with this....."
Under "Music" uncheck the "Sync Music"
Sync
Let it remove all the songs, dont worry it will come back no problems.
Once that is all done all the music on the phone or ipad should be gone.
Now check them both back on, sync, and everything should copy back onto it.
Working now !!!!!

Since installing iOS 5.0 my smart playlists are scrambled

Since installing iOS 5.0 on iPhone my itunes playlists are all out of order, for example "top rated" now seems to play in reverse so that my least requested songs play first. Is there any way to correct this either manualy or automaticly?

Yes, after my own experience and a quick Google search this seems to be a common occurance.
I have filed the following bug report at this address: http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html
Please feel free to file one too!
Subject: Order of songs/podcasts in playlist on iPhone not the same as iTunes.
Hello,
I make use of different methods of sorting playlists in iTunes (e.g. by rating, by date added, etc).
After upgrading to iOS 5 on an iPhone 4, and on my new iPhone 4S, the order of tracks is not preserved in the Music app.
Two examples:
1. A playlist of podcasts that should be sorted by rating descending, on the iPhone they are sorted by rating ascending.
2. A playlist of music that should be sorted by Album by Artist/Year they are sorted by Date Added.
Operating system: Mac OS 10.7.2"

Since installing Lion, I am unable to add to iPhoto from an e mail or desk top. Something about power pc. I thought I had a Mac! What should I do to restore the facility?

As a Test:
Hold down the option (or alt) key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?

Since last weekend (3-15-15) I have been unable to send/receive text messages with a friend who has Sprint service. The messages send with no errors on either side, but neither side is receiving the messages. Is anyone else having any similar issues?

It seems to be only this one person affected by this issue, everyone else that I've tried sending messages to has responded with no trouble. Is anyone else having any similar issues?

Retrohacker, Your text messages are too important to be missed! Let's figure this out, together. Are you able to successfully make and receive calls from your friend? Which phone do you have with us?

I can't get into certain apps since installing iOS 8?

I'm not able to get into some of my apps since installing iOS 8. As soon as I try, I get kicked out again immediately?

Most likely apps need to update to support new OS. I had this problem too on several apps. I checked a few of the apps' websites and those listed issues with ios 8 and indicated updates to the apps were forthcoming. One such app, Cortex Cam, updated today and now it opens and works.
I would advise checking the websites of the apps in question and notifying them that they need to get their act in gear and provide updates to their apps.

I Pad pages won't scroll smoothly since installing IOS 7?

Since installing IOS 7 pages simply don't scroll smoothly. Pages will freeze consistently and then move several seconds later. Wish I had stayed with IOS 6. Help!, I do have all updates as well.

Something is amiss on your iPad.
Have you tried restarting or resetting your iPad?
Restart: Press On/Off button until the Slide to Power Off slider appears, select Slide to Power Off and, after It shuts down, press the On/Off button until the Apple logo appears.
Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10 seconds).
If these don't work use iTunes on your computer to restore your iPad to Factory condition. Test it for performance before restoring any backup.

Since installing iOS 6, I have had problems receiving calls and messages. Calls go straight to answerphone and messages do not appear until I switch off and on again. I have also installed iOS 6.1.1

Try a reset. Press & hold the Power and Home buttons simultaneously, ignoring the red power off slider, until the Apple logo appears. Then release both buttons. This should not affect any content on the iPad, it is similar to rebooting your computer.
