Activation lock after iOS8 Upgrade

I regrettably upgraded my OS to 8 tonight and it immediately crashed my iPad mini. After several tries, I was able to restore the iPad using iTunes on my PC. However, I am now getting the message "[appleID] cannot be used to unlock this iPad." This iPad was given to me brand new as a gift more than a year ago (no warranty). I have only ever used one Apple ID with this iPad. If I create a new one, how to I get back all of the apps and music associated with the old one?? I am out of the country and have no plans to be anywhere near an Apple Store in the near future. Did I just lose everything?? Please help!

Creating a new ID will not help. It can only be unlocked with the Apple ID used to sign into iCloud. Since you say you've only used one Apple ID, I can only assume that the iPad wasn't really given to you "brand new" as you were told, or the person who gifted it to you had set it up themselves before giving it to you.

After IOS8 upgrade IPhone5s syncs with exchange but IPad2 syncs ONLY Mail and Contacts, NOT Calendar. Totally stumped. Ideas anyone?

After IOS8 upgrade IPhone5s syncs with exchange but IPad2 syncs ONLY Mail and Contacts, NOT Calendar.
Also, my other tablet - Samsung TabS - has same issue - calendar wont sync. My IPhone and my desktop (windows) synch just fine.
Google calendar syncs on all devices. Totally stumped. Ideas anyone?
THANKS

1.      Log onto Outlook Web Access
2.      Top right hand part of the screen select "Options"
3.     Select "See All Options"
4.      Select "Phone" menu
Check if you have 10 Devices registered.
If you have, you need to delete one of them to add your new Smart Phone to Exchange for synching
Check the "Last Sync Time" to indicate if this device is still active or not.

Why my iphone get lock after i upgrade to ios5

why my iphone has been locked after i upgrade to ios 5??? i don't understand that specially i didnt buy it under contract with AT&T i buy it in cash from USA

Doesn't matter if you bought is without a contract. This does NOT mean it was unlocked. Clearly, you bought a phone that was hacked to work with another carrier besides AT&T. Now that you've upgraded, your phone is relocked to AT&T as it should be.
AT&T does NOT unlock their phones. Ever.

Cross system object lock after SP24 upgrade

Hi Team,
We have recently updated from Sol Man SP23 to SP24. I have set-up cross system object lock (CSOL) in SP23. It was working perfectly.
When we are in SP23, i have made following settings:
In T.code: u201C/TMWFLOW/CONFIG_SERVICESu201D , i have set he conflict analysis as "Cross-Project, Cross-Client". So i that i will always get "Warning" Messge while processing SDHF and SDMJ correction.
In t.code: /n/TMWFLOW/CMSCONF , the CSOL is active.
Recently we have upgraded to SP24. After SP24 upgrade, the CSOL is not working properly. The configurations are same as earlier.(Before SP24). Now if i process SDMJ or SDHF corrections, the CSOL always gives me "ERROR" message but i want to get "WARNING" message as earlier. I have checked the conflict analysis in t.code u201C/TMWFLOW/CONFIG_SERVICES". It is still "Cross Project, Cross-Client" only.
Any additinal SAP notes to be implemrnted to correct this behaviour.
Your valuable guidance required.
Thanks
Kumar

I dont believe this is possible at the moment. As you must be already aware, that SAP releases the locks from the objects as soon as the transport request is released from the Development System. Unless, this locking mechanism is extended to various systems first (DEV and QAS) and later to parallel landscapes (eg:- Project landscapes) it would be difficult to bring in this feature.

IBooks crashes after ios8 upgrade

i completed the ios8 upgrade and now IBooks crashes every 5 minutes. How do I fix it or report it?

I'm having the same problem on my iPad Air. iBooks worked fine on iOS 7, but started crashing about 3-5 minutes after launching from the moment I installed iOS8. The crash seems to happens while iBooks is syncing with iCloud and putting my iPad in flight mode prevents it from happening. Disabling the syncing of bookmarks, notes and collections does not prevent the app from crashing. I've tried restoring my iPad using different backups(including one I made just before the upgrade to iOS 8), but the crashes keep happening.
As this only happens on my iPad and not on my iPhone 5, where I have automatic downloads disabled, I tried disabling automatic downloads. This seemed to prevent a crash only once, but once I tried to download a book manually, the crashes started happening again. I also noticed that any book downloaded after installing iOS 8 doesn't seem to be recognised as a purchased book. If I try to delete it, I only get the "Delete" option for books(which usually only appears for books that weren't purchased from the iBooks store), while I still get both the "Delete From All Devices" and the "Delete This Copy" options for any books downloaded from the store before installing iOS 8. On my iPhone, I still get both these options for any books downloaded after installing iOS 8.
The only thing I found is that there is a JetsamEvent log in the diagnostics & usage data screen at the exact time of each iBooks crash. Each of these listed iBooks as being the largest process.
I hope Apple provide a fix soon, it's a bit disappointing to have to read iBooks on my iPhone instead of the larger screen of my iPad.

My Ipad2 is hardly working anymore after IOS8 upgrade

I cannot hardly use my Ipad2/32GB/3G after the IOS8 upgrade. It takes for ever now to do anything on it.
IF you cannot find any new features at all that gives anything extra then do not upgrade !

The most aggravating problem I've had with iOS 8 on my iPad 3 (New) and my iPhone 4S has to do with powering on and off. I called Apple tech support to help solve the problem but since it was the first day iOS 8 rolled out they hadn't had my particular problem. In short my tablet (and phone) will either turn itself off and won't turn back on immediately or, as what happened while I was on the phone with tech support, I tried powering down my tablet and then tried to turn it back on but all that would happen, continuously for about 20-30 minutes!, was the Apple would appear as if it was starting up then it would shut itself off again then the Apple would come back then turn off, and over and over and over again. I had it plugged into my pc to run a diagnostic but it kept doing what I just described then, out of the blue, the tablet turned on without fanfare. Unfortunately it seemed the only fix was...the factory reset. I HATE resetting because it's such a hassle putting all of my apps back where they're supposed to be. For whatever reason my iPhone didn't give me as much problem but if either device freezes up and I try to turn either off then back on it takes close to 30 minutes at times for them to turn back on. The other problem I'm seeing is both iOS devices are getting incredibly hot, iPad moreso but the iPhone can get incredibly hot as well.

IPad apps can't access photos after iOS8 upgrade

I've got a number of apps on my iPad that used to be able to access the photos in my iPad Photos app but no longer can access them. I checked under Privacy > Photos that they are enabled and I went to General > Restrictions and made sure all restrictions are off. I changed nothing after the upgrade and all the apps could access photos before the upgrade.

Hold down ⌥ and ⌘ whilst launching photos and try repairing the library.

Cannot stream video after iOS8 upgrade

My iPad Mini no longer streams video after I upgraded to iOS 8. This includes Facebook videos, Youtube app, HBO Go app, Amazon on Demand app, Safari or Chrome. If I switch to either laptop or my iphone which runs iOS7, I have no troubles streaming any video.

THe same situation on my iPad Air. For a short time helps hard reset but it is very frustrating...

Static noise after ios8 upgrade

since doing the iOS8 upgrade on my iPad 2 all I can hear is static when I try a listen to youtube videos and music. Even when I record from my iPad the noise comes out static.

Try to reset your device:
Device Reset (won't affect settings/data/music/apps/etc)
1. Press and hold (& continue to hold) BOTH the Sleep/Wake button & the Home button.
2. Continue to hold BOTH (ignoring any other messages that may show) until you see the Apple logo on the screen.
3. Release BOTH buttons when you see the Apple logo and allow the device to boot normally.

Missing photostream pictures after ios8 upgrade!

I just upgraded from Ios7 to ios8 on my iPhone 5 and many of my photostream pictures just disappeared!!!! These pictures mean a lot to me. Why did you guys not check this bug!? How do I get those pictures back?
To those who insist that photo stream just stores pictures up to 30-day old. I assure you prior to the ios8 upgrade, I had pictures in the photostream folder that were older than 30 days.
I am sure many have such a problem. Apple needs to fix this to avoid a huge backlash. This is teh

iOS 8 changes how it organizes photos. So make sure you look for the pictures first, they may not have disappeared. Just moved.
iOS 8 does away with the Camera Roll and My Photostream folders. Now, all photos are merged into the Collections section. Any pictures recent taken/saved/synced with Photostream appear in the Recently Added folder in the Folder view. This is a shortcut to the same photo in Collections, like any album on the iPhone. From what I understand, they will stay in Recently Added for 30 days before disappearing, though the actual photo is still in Collections. Hence, any photo you have from Photostream that are older than 30 days should be in Collections. This is what I found when I panicked.
As to Photostream holding photos, Apple changed how it worked ages ago. Photostream now stores the most recent 1000 photos in a First In, First Out method. They will stay there indefinitely until more than 1000 photos are in the stream, then the oldest ones delete to make room. If you use Photostream on your computer (iPhoto/Photos on Mac, iCloud Photos on PC), the pics will stay there even if older ones delete.
Now if you check Collections and still cannot find the photos, then check other Apple Devices or your computer. If not there, then contact AppleCare.
