2.2 update won't ring, get texts, or VM - Correction

I have pinpointed the problem. The problem is the WIFI and sleep mode. If you are connected to a WIFI hotspot and have 3G on you will not get calls or texts in sleep mode. Here are the steps to reproduce the problem.
1) Turn off WIFI
2) Put phone in sleep mode.
3) Call your phone, it works fine.
4) Turn On WIFI but do not use any app that will use the WIFI.
5) Put phone in sleep mode right away.
6) Call your phone, again it works fine.
7) Use Safari or any app that will access the WIFI connection.
8) Put phone in sleep mode.
9) Call your phone, this time it won't ring. You won't get texts or VM notifications either.
You have one of 3 choices to get around this problem.
1) Never let you phone go into sleep mode. Yeah right.
2) Turn off WIFI.
3) Turn off 3G.
All 3 of these choices are unacceptable but it may help you cope till the problem is fixed.
I know this is not a viable solution but maybe it will help the dopes at Apple get their stuff together. Every update they put has effected me in a negative way. 1st time I tried to update it bricked my phone and I had to fight tooth and nail for them to give me a new one. This is my buisness phone and I can't afford to miss calls and texts or VM. I had to pay $599(already had contract) for this P.O.S. You got me once Steve but never again.

Ok I followed your steps at my house and had no issues. Everything worked fine but, my area is not 3G, only Edge. Could that make a difference?

I had the same error when I was updating, called and spoke to Apple and was directed to disconect my phone, go into C:/documents and settings/owner/application data/apple computer/i tunes
Once there I was told to delete the folders "iPhone Software Updates" and "iPhone updater logs" as well as (these will only apply if you also sync an iPod) "iPod Software updates" and "iPod updater logs"
I was then told to reconnect my phone which prompted a new download of the 2.0 software and it installed without a hitch.
The explanation I got was that sometimes during download the file can be slightly corrupted so this is the way to start with a fresh download and make sure that the iPhone tries to install from the fresh and not the old.
Dunno if it is reliable for everyone but it worked for me.

My family shares an apple id so we can share music, etc. With the update, we are all getting texts from each other, etc! How do we fix that?

Our family shares an apple id. How do we have separate names for separate users?

Hello cmdenham97
The question I have is how are using your Apple ID on both of the iPhones. If it is just for purchases, then you can just have that Apple ID for purchases and then have separate accounts for iCloud to sync that data. Check out the article below for more information.

Unable to get page with video to validate and need help getting text to display correctly

I need advice on getting a page to validate that has a video. I didn't make the video, but all other pages vallidate that don't have it.
Also, when testing viewing on ie with large font view the navigation bar on the left doesn't display correctly. I've tried all fixes I can think of, but none work.
As always any advice is greatly appreciated.
page can be viewed at: http://www.lotusvalleydesigns.com/previewpages/services.html

Eeeeeuuuuu yuck. You know, I've never used that setting in IE and I don't think I ever will again.
Look what happens to CNN's website when you do that.
http://CNN.com
I think IE sucks and this is another fine example of MS's zeal to pile on user options that no one should use. If MS made their zoom feature optional the way Firefox does, nobody would ever need this atrocious "accessibility" option.
Good luck,

Installed update, now ipad gets texts ment for phone?

after installing the latest update, the ipad will get text messages ment for the phone. They will not show up on the phone. Both are on our wifi, how do I stop this?

Hello pitbullmutt,
After reviewing your post, I have located an article that can help in this situation. It contains a number of troubleshooting steps and helpful advice concerning Messages:
iOS: Troubleshooting Messages
If you aren't receiving iMessages across all iOS devices
Go to Settings > Messages > Send & Receive on each iOS device and make sure that you signed in with your Apple ID. You must use the same Apple ID on each device.
Go to Settings > Messages > Send & Receive > You Can Be Reached By iMessage At and make sure that you selected each phone number and email address you want to use with iMessage.
If you linked a phone number to your Apple ID with iMessage and the phone number hasn't appeared, followthese steps.
Sign out of your Apple ID in Settings > Messages > Send & Receive and Settings > FaceTime on all devices.
If you're linking a phone number to an Apple ID, sign in to iMessage on your iPhone first. Then sign in to the rest of your device one by one with iMessage and FaceTime.
Thank you for contributing to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,

My iPhone 5 won't ring at all. Phone calls, texts etc. are all vibration only even though under Sounds everything is correct. What am I doing wrong?

Hi, Mylenium,
Thanks for your prompt reply, I'm afraid it hasn't helped. I don't see anything wrong in my device manager.
I have also gone and updated every driver, especially the motherboard chipset and the Sata Intel Rapid Storage Technology driver.
Unfortunately, this hasn't made any difference.
Any other suggestions?
Many thanks in advance!

Since the last update for my Iphone 4s i dont get text messages when connected to wifi. my wife is getting them. Imessage is switched off on both phones.

since the 6. version update. of my Iphone 4s My wife was getting my text messages. I found the problem was caused by Imessage when connected to Wifi. I deactivated Imessage on both phones to solve the problem. I now have updated my Iphone to 6.1.1 and i dont get text messages anymore. I have Imessage deactivated on my phone but my wife is getting my text messages again. my wifes phone was not updated to 6.1.1 because the last update lost all her contacts from her phone and we had to but them back in one by one from the outlook list. Her contact are listed in outlook on a seperate list to mine but we can only get my contacts download to her phone. We use the same laptop to sysc phones.
My Iphone does not download photos to My Pictures anymore. I have to copy them across to a folder. I cant find where it backs them up to.
I have lost all confidence in Apple now as i was forced to update to 6.1.1 because of 3G reception issues and not reciving calls and now back to spending several hours trying to fix my phone to recieve a basic text message.

Are you and your wife sharing apple id?
If you are that is the reason why she is seeing your imessage.
On both phone go to settings - message - send&receive - make sure the cell is the default.
You will have to uncheck or remove the apple id.

Do I need to do a total reset on my 3gs so that it won't keep updating every time it gets near my 4gs?

Do I need to do a total reset on my 3gs so that it won't keep updating every time it gets near my 4gs? I've created a separate ID to use with the 3gs already.
Help...
Thanks!

It has nothing to do with "getting near: the other iPhone.
They are using the same AppleID for iCloud.
On the 3GS, Setttings > icCloud, delete the iCloud account and turn it on using the new AppleID.
Whatever I have changed on my 4S...notes, apps..etc.
Settings > iTunes & App stores.
Tap your ApleID, sign out then sign in with new AppleID.

You’re running an outdated copy of Safari on your Desktop. That won’t work.
In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Applications
from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-A to open the Applications folder. Check that the Safari application is in that folder. If it is, use it, and delete the copy on your Desktop. Never move or copy built-in applications.
If you've deleted Safari from the Applications folder, back up all data, then reinstall OS X. If your Mac was upgraded from an older version of OS X, you’ll need the Apple ID and password you used to upgrade, so make a note of those before you begin.

Mac OS X version 10.6.8. I keep getting "blocked plug-in" messages. Adobe Flash player update won't upload. Suggestions?

Mac OS X version 10.6.8. I keep getting "blocked plug-in" messages. Adobe Flash player update won't upload. Suggestions?

You can check here: http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about/ to see which version you should install for your Mac and OS. You should first uninstall any previous version of Flash Player, using the uninstaller from here (make sure you use the correct one!):
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/909/cpsid_90906.html
and also that you follow the instructions closely, such as closing ALL applications (including Safari) first before installing. You must also carry out a permission repair after installing anything from Adobe.
After installing, reboot your Mac and relaunch Safari, then in Safari Preferences/Security enable ‘Allow Plugins’. If you are running 10.6.8 or later:
When you have installed the latest version of Flash, relaunch Safari and test.
If you're getting a "blocked plug-in" error, then in System Preferences… ▹ Flash Player ▹ Advanced
click Check Now. Quit and relaunch your browser, but check this also:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5655?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US which also covers ‘blocked plug-in’.

Anyone any idea ? Deleting FF and reinstalling after new download doesn't help.

Hi,
You may have to temporarily disable any script blocking add-ons in Firefox. You may be able to do that through the add-on's settings/options. To see the installed add-ons: '''Tools''' ('''Alt''' + '''T''') > '''Add-ons''', click '''Extensions '''on the left. Alternatively you can do a quick check in [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe%20Mode Safe Mode.]
