A simple fix to the "No Content" error after updating to iOS 4.2.1.
I had the same problem that others are reporting after updating an iPhone to iOS 4.2.1 where all of my media disappeared. However I don't currently have access to my PC to sync with iTunes but have posted a really simple fix that worked for me here:
http://vextasy.wordpress.com/2010/11/30/a-very-simple-solution-to-the-iphoneipod -4-2-1-update-no-content-problem/
The advantage of this fix is that it doesn't need you to use iTunes which was important for me as I am currently away from my PC. I fixed my iPhone this way and I suspect the same would work on an iPod Touch or iPad.
You can only sync to one iTunes library but you can manage music and videos among different computer/libraries.
It appears that you are trying to sync with a different library.
- If you want to make the Mac you syncing computer:
--- Connect the iPod to the computer and make a backup by:
iOS: How to back up
--- Restore the iPod from that backup. Note that synced media like apps and music are not in included in the backup.

i have an ipad mini with ios 7.1.1 it lags a lot and the lower part of the screen is shaky after updating to ios 7.1.1
Thank you for the advice Randy. Very helpful of you to jump in with a post that adds so much value for the OP.
A bit of advice for you as a new user. Please refrain from making assumptions and using hyperbole. Both get in the way of providing useful support. Not "everyone" has tried the basics, let alone know what they are. That's why they're here. These first steps in troubleshooting often fix the issue being asked. If this thread doesn't answer your question, move on and find one that does. Feel free to skip the thousands that advise a reset. -
How to fix the lag in keyboard after updating to ios 7.1
My iPhone was recently update to iOS 7.1 as of the release date. As soon as it was done updating I unlocked my phone and the keyboard now and always lags and is not responsive unless you wait about a minute. I restored my iPhone and then restored it from backup and the issue continued. Can someone please help me solve this issue before the next bug update. Because I cannot text or type without waiting for my phone to respond.
I have read that going to settings, general, reset, reset keyboard dictionary has helped. In the past, it was found that going to settings, iCloud, turn off documents and data helped too.

"No sim installed" error after updating to iOS 5.1
A notification popped up this morning asking me to update to iOS 5.1 so I updated it. Once I downloaded and installed it, it said "no sim installed". I have rebooted my phone, taken out and put back in the sim but the error message remains. I can't make calls or message, but my internet works. Anything else I can try?
i have the same problem with the 4s. I have a (cutdown) sim from virgin (in the UK), who do not offer the iphone, but it worked perfectly until this upgrade (to ios 5.1). The phone was bought unlocked from apple. now i have the no sim error. I am trying a restore and have booked a genius bar appt for later today. I have a very expensive touch at present. The sim is working fine in my old nokia, so it is not the sim that is faulty. What is going on here, why would i want to upgrade if this just creates problems. I have been up since 5am now trying to sort this so i have a phone again.

Ever since updating to the new ios, my iphone 4 is rejecting every single charger I try to use. All of these chargers are first party apple chargers, and they are all in good shape. Withing seconds of plugging my phone in I get the "this accessory may not be supported" error. Has anyone else had this problem or know how I can fix this? Thank you.
I get the same problem, but my phone still charges, is yours charging after you notice this message?

What is the default unlock code after updating to iOS 8
HAving never used app store I wanted to download an app and it forced me to update the operating system. Three hours later I had ios8. When I turned on the iPad this morning it wants an unlock pass code. I never selected one. Have never used iTunes have never backed anything up.
Now I can't use. What do I do . I see plug into computer dont have one this is nuts.IIf you see the plug into iTunes message on the iPad, unfortunately, your iPad has gone into recovery mode and has to be restored using iTunes on a computer, there is no other way to unlock your iPad now.
SInce you are stuck anyway right now, try a reset of the device. I don't think it is going to fix things, but in the extremely unlikely event that what you are seeing in the iPad screen is a system software fluke, a reset could fix it.
Hold down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10 seconds until the Apple logo appears on the screen. Let go of the buttons and let the iPad start up. I honesty don't hold out much hope that it will work, but it won't hurt and you are stuck anyway,
You can restore your iPad on any computer that is running iTunes, but you are going to lose everything on the device now and since you have no backup, you have to start all over again. If you live near an Apple Store, make a Genius Bar appointment and ask them to restore the iPad for you.
IF you are successful in restoring the iPad and need to download your content again, take a look at this.

Sorry for my english (O:I was having the same problem, I went to the "Apple Store" and a tech guy told me to back up everything on iTunes, and then load as a new phone.... Safari then worked... I then had to tell iTunes to reload all the apps and stuff on the new install... Don't know if this will help you, but I was having exactly the same problem with my Lotus notes webmail server.....
Worked for me. -
The battery of my iPad four drawn very fast after update to iOS 8.1 and the sensitivity of my iPad decrease until I cannot swipe it and is very lag >< please fix it immediately
Hello alicelan,
After reviewing your post, I have located an article that can help with device errors. You may want to consider restoring your device to factory settings to resolve the issues you've described:
Use iTunes to restore your iOS device to factory settings
Restoring iOS software deletes all your data and content from your device, including songs, videos, contacts, photos, and calendar info.
Before you restore your device
Make sure you’re using the latest version of iTunes.
Use iTunes to back up your device. Transfer and sync any additional content to your computer.
Turn off Find My iPhone in Settings > iCloud on your device to disable Activation Lock.
Restore your iOS device
Connect your iOS device to your computer using the cable that came with it.
Select your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch when it appears in iTunes. In the Summary panel, click Restore.
Click Restore again to confirm that you want to restore your device to factory settings and delete all data and content. iTunes will download the iOS software file and restore your iOS device.
After your iOS device is restored to factory settings, it will restart. Once it does, you’ll see the "Slide to set up” welcome screen. Follow the steps in the iOS Setup Assistant. You can set up your device as new or using a previous backup. If your iOS device has cellular service, it will activate after you restore.
Learn more
If you get an error message, find out how to fix most update and restore errors.
If your iOS device with cellular service doesn’t activate after restoring, find out how to fix activation issues.
If your iOS device restarts repeatedly or isn’t responding, for example if you see a stopped progress bar or no progress bar, put the device into recovery mode and restore it again.
Thank you for contributing to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,

Hi, my iphone 5 encountered an unknown error while updating to iOS 7 via itunes and is now stuck in recovery mode and prompts me to restore the phone when I connect it to itunes but then I would lose all my data. I DO NOT have any back ups on itunes. Is there anyway to get out of recovery mode without restoring or recover data after a restore?
Or any other suggestions please? ThanksAs pdroth said, you should have gotten a backup made when you started the update of iOS. If you cannot find a backup, and the phone is in recovery mode, there are no futher suggestions to make. To get the phone working again you have to restore. You cannot force a backup at this time since it is already in recovery mode. It will not allow anything else but a restore at this point.

Second day after updating to iOS 6 on my iPhone 4, my contacts have duplicated. Probably not all but many, and my contacts already numbered in the thousands.
Please tell me there is an easy fix to this problem!! I already had to go through contact-by-contact when I bought this phone and added contacts from my Blackberry and MS Outlook on the phone. Many duplicated at that time and Apple said the only fix was to go through each one and decide to keep or delete. I really don't want to do that again!I had this problem while I had iOS 5.1.1 installed for many months. Fortunately I only have about 150 contacts and only about half of them duplicated. I found that my problem was the way thing were set up in Outlook. I removed all of the duplicates and corrected everything in Outlook contacts (ignoring the address book) and have not had the problem since, Hope this helps.

How can I add the audio content cd after logic finished installing ?
There was an eror installing the Audio Content CD 1 and I did not notice. Everything else installed properly, Audio Content CD 2, Jam Pack, but how can I add the Audio Content CD1 after Logic has finished installing?
If you can help me please be very specific as to how to do it so that I can follow the directions properly.
Please help me.
ThanksHi
You could re-run the installer, or, once you have updated to Logic 9.1.8 you could use the "Download Additional Content" function in the Logic Pro menu. It will tell you what is installed and what is incomplete.

Is there a fix for the wifi connectivity issue after ios6 update?
Is there a fix for the wifi connectivity issue after ios6 update?
Cannot connect to any wifi since update to 6.0.1
How do I get update to 6.0.2?
Will that even help?Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
• Launch Settings app
• Tap on Wi-Fi
• Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
• In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button
