7.6.3 Firmware Update Woes Today, anyone else? Think twice about it!

Firmware update to 7.6.3 with the Time Capsule today. Normally I don't do these unless I have to but I was tempted in case some additional functionality might be available there or in the new Airport Utility such as being able to view DHCP address for ethernet attached devices.
For three hours, suffered with internet service going on and off. Amber indicator on Airport Utility for Internet on and off. Contacted cable internet carrier, all fine. Contacted Apple, recommended a warm reset via Airport Utility and seemed OK for a while and then behavior continued when pressing on to update the 4 peripheral Airport Expresses which both extend network and deliver Airplay.
Ultimately had to do a factory reset of all of them in sequence, seems OK for now but have lost all DHCP reservations and Port Forwarding which is a pain in the neck.
Unless there's a good reason to update firmware, I would wait.
Interested in the experiences of others. And if anyone knows of a way to simply view the DHCP IP address of wired attached devices I am interested...

Still troubleshooting past midnight but there appears to be a conflict between my peripheral Airport Expresses, two of them are configured as extending network and are connected to ethernet and two are connected to the existing network via WiFi. If I disconnect the two that are connected via WiFi, it works properly.
To factory reset, unplug, press and hold reset button and plug in. Manual says to then press and hold reset for ten seconds after light starts to flash.
I'm also interested in rolling back to 7.6.3 but I wonder if the real problem is the firmware upgrade disturbed the connections of my Expresses to the Time Capsule.

Just for those who are interested, this is what cleared the "bookmark menu" trbl I had.
Open System Preferences > iCloud
Deselect the box next to Bookmarks, then reselect it.
Quit and relaunch Safari. Try a bookmark again.

HT201210 I continue to get an error 37 message when trying to restore my iphone 3GS which crashed after trying to upload the last update. Does anyone else have this problem?

I continue to get an error 37 message when trying to restore my iphone 3GS which crashed after trying to upload the last update. Does anyone else have this problem?

Did you manage to fix the issue?
I have exactly the same issue as described above : I installed the update 5.1.1 on my iphone 3GS and since then, I can not turn it on anymore. In Itunes, I get an error 37 when I am doing a restauration and it stops.
This error has nothing to do with firewall : I tried to restore the phone on several computers, including in an Apple reseller and it did not work anywhere.
I spent several hours on phone with the hotline from Apple which arrived to the conclusion that it is a hardware issue, but the phone was working perfectly fine until I installed this update!

Running FCPx 10.0.8, aborting, errors are rampant since most recent software update. Is anyone else experiencing more problems?

FCPX 10.0.8 is frequently crashing, refusing to share even in prores hq - it aborts. This has all happened since after the most recent update. Has anyone else experienced an abundance of problems since the update and what have any of the solutions been?

There are many people who have posted about persistent export failures since the update. A search will uncover a number of threads just within the past month. There doesn't seem to be a pattern to these problems – and if there is common fix, I haven't heard about it.
However, the update hasn't been a problem for me – nor presumably has it been for the majority of users.

HT4623 My Iphone will not start. There was an error in updating. Is anyone else having this issue

My Iphone will not start. There was an error in updating. Is anyone else having this issue

After connecting to iTunes, I noticed that "Back up to iCloud" was selected (in the middle of the screen on the "Summary" tab, under "Backup"), and "Last backed up to iCloud" reflected the time that I attempted to back up from my phone. Even now, the phone still says "Last Backup: Never," so there is clearly a disconnect. Hopefully Apple will fix this soon.

Does anyone else think that the AppleMac group of products are marketed in a greedy way? I have MacBook Pro 10.5.8 and am now told that I have to upgrade to Snow Leopard to sync my new iPad. Of course there isn't enough memory on the MacBook? I'm angry!

Does anyone else think that the AppleMac group of products are marketed in a greedy way? I have MacBook Pro 10.5.8 with Leopard and am now told that I have to upgrade to Snow Leopard so that my system can download the relevant iTunes upgrade to sync my new iPad and get my audiobooks (which don't appear anywhere on the device right now). Of course there isn't enough memory on the MacBook and Snow Leopard costs more also? I don't have financial resources to pay for all the new memory requirement and related upgrades they say I need just to sync my iPad with my purchases.

Thanks for the reply but I already knew this. $20 for Snow Leopard which asks for 5gb free memory. I can only see that I have 4 gb (which I feel is rather a pathetic amount of available memory for any computer). To upgrade this computer's memory will cost another fee (I haven't researched this yet but gather it's more than $20). Then of course I could also be told that the OSX Mackbook Pro that I have can't be memory upgraded - which means I'm being told to buy a new computer - hence my very frustrated last email. I have been given a lovely iPad 2 as a present and now can't sync at all with anything because of this ongoing upgrade nightmare. How on earth am I going to be able to sync my movies, audiobooks etc to this new device??

Anyone else think it is wrong to only let you make one recovery of your computor

anyone else think it is wrong that hp only let you make one back up of your operating sys then say if it is lost or damaged you have to buy a new one, beore they used to give you a disk when you bought your compuer with no restrictions on how many copies now it comes with your comp and you can only back it up once,even though its new and people have accidents or lose thing. Compters are expencive and they should not restrict people on how many copies they make as they only work on that compuer any way??

i wasnt given recovery disc i made copy on a usb memory stick, tried to copy but wouldnt, im just trying to make copy on to disc but cant?
With Hp I could only make one from the recovery partition.
I was only able to make more after recovering with the recovery media that I purchased from Hp
I have only used the recovery media once on my PC. Mainly to see if it work rork. I have both DVD's and Flash recovery.
I always have several back up images on two different external drives. I have images with factory setting and images of current images. I use Macrium Reflect. IMHO that is the only way to go. I have never had any problems restoring my OS with Macrium Reflect. I have been doing it for years and not one failure. My recovery media would be the last offence, but it's nice to know that it's there.
Dokie!

Does anyone else think..............

Does anyone else think you should be able to import a DVD using itunes? Just like you would with a CD? I think itunes needs to get with the times...

If you're referrring to commercial DVDs, the problem with that is that they're copy-protected. Apple would have to build in decoding of the copy protection into iTunes and get licenses from the DVD producers to allow DVDs to be imported, something they're unlikely to grant, though we can hope that at some point the content owners will be flexible enough to allow it.

Does anyone else think Apple has dropped the ball since Tiger?

I'm using Mavericks and it's slow and buggy as all get out. I miss Tiger. Anyone else think this OS is a large leap backwards?

N8 email application - anyone else think it's rubb...

The email application is rubbish because:
It takes 'a hundred years' to get a connection from the mail server
It over-rides the "switch WLAN scanning off" option so it opens and keeps open the connection while it spends a hundred years polling the mail server, even if you set it to connect only every hour or so
It NEVER synchronises on demand, I just get the spinning green circle for ages
When synchronising, it usually leaves emails in that mailbox which I have deleted when using the mail app on my PC so that's incomplete. But then next time it does work; intermittent
It always has difficulty getting the rest of the message after opening and freezes the emails whenever I read them until it's got whatever it needs (i.e. I have the option set to not download images but it tries to do it anyway whenever I open an email
You cannot reply without it first connecting to the network to retrieve the message. That means you can't do offline emails
It's totally rubbish, very disappointing and I have stopped using it. I go to Opera Mobile 10.1 browser and check my mail through the internet directly.
Anyone else think this?

I second points 3 and 4 especially.
In addition, the widget stops working randomly, see /t5/Nseries-and-S60-Smartphones/N8-Mail-widget-bug/m-p/869591
The most annoying is that all this seems to appear at random, either for app or for widget.

Update & Install Problems: Anyone Else?

For the past 3 hours I've been doing nothing but trying to update 2 of the apps on my iPhone 4 that had updates available. I tried updating via my phone through the App Store multiple times but was unsuccessful, despite my WiFi connection being completely fine (each time the app icon would have a "Waiting" message underneath then nothing...I had to reboot my phone each time to get it to "reset" and go back to normal). Then, I tried updating via iTunes on my PC and each time I tried, I kept getting a "Network Connection Timeout" message.
FINALLY, I was able tp update the apps in iTunes but I couldn't sync those updated apps to my iPhone, at which point I proceeded to smash my forehead against my desk repeatedly until I passed out. (OK, I didn't really do that last part, but I was very tempted).
So, the cycle repeated. Each time I tried updated through my phone again, I kept getting a "Waiting" message underneath the app icon until finally, FINALLY, the apps updated! YAY!
So, was there a problem with iTunes today? Anyone else experience this problem too? I've only had my iPhone 4 for about 3 months, having switched from an Android because I couldn't stand the slowness, lag, and all around pain in the booty Androids are. Is what happened to me today a frequent occurence for iTunes?

Time out errors are normally due to the internet you are using. Your internet provided may have had some issues causing the time out. I have hardly ever heard of iTunes causing a time out error unless you are trying to download a huge amount of information at one time.

Worse 3g service with new update?? Anyone else??

I was getting great speeds before the 2.0.1 update on 3g. normally around 700kbps using this test site. http://i.dslr.net/tinyspeedtest.html. im in detroit suburbs where 3g is really great. i was so thankful not to be one of the people not getting good 3g service
now after the update, (imnot sure if they're related) im getting speeds much worse than edge. my wifi and edge are the same though. my bars on 3g are still always five bars. anyone else experiencing this? should i do a restore to the old 2.0? is that even possible?

I wouldn't normally consider doing this but I would like to put 2.0 back on the phone - according to Google I need to 'jailbreak' it first but I'm not sure if it will be possible to become legal again and 'de-jailbreak' after the 2.0 software restore. Is it allowed to ask such a question in here?

Update not available - anyone else getting this problem?

I have LR4 and just clicked 'Check for Updates' and keep getting update check unsucessful and its keeps telling me to check internet connection even though thats working.
Anyone else getting this error? I'm just wondering if its maybe with the update being released soon perhaps?

There's another thread running: "No check for updates"

I can't answer or update status in Facebook since the last software update. Is anyone else having this issue?

I can't update my status or reply to someone else's post on FB since I downloaded the last software update to my MacPro. Is anyone else having this issue? I have cleared my cache, history and data. I have restarted and logged off and nothing seems to help.

I did exactly what you said to do.. Resetting my network settings didn't work but restarting my router worked like a charm, no more issue's and my ipad is up and running and working great without anymore problems. THANK YOU!

Does anyone else think that the new update 5.1.1 drains battery life faster than 5.1?

I charged my phone to 100% last night and unpluged it last night before going to bed. 10 hours later, when I got up, my battery had went down all the way to 68% and with no apps running in the background... All while my iPhone's currently running on IOS 5.1.1. I never had this problem with IOS 5.1, when the battery would only drop to around 97% overnight.
Anyone else having this problem?

With Phone, Messages, and Setting apps active and
Celllular data enabled, my AT&T 64 gig, 4S drops about 4-5%
overnight. Which is about what it was with 5.1.
So, I personally have seen no change in battery performance
and when using the phone I haven't seen any difference either.
