After recent iOS 6.1 upgrade, unable to text - HELP?

All, my Dad upgrade to 6.1 yesterday, but he is now unable to use the "message" icon to text this morning. And if you know my Dad this is a state of emergency because he can't text my mom in the other room. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

He says that he can't text to my Mom's iPhone 3, but that he can text to everyone else.

Iphoto 6 doesn't launch after recent system auto software upgrade

I recently purchased and downloaded the new version of iLife 6 with no problems. After a recent software update message to download new info for iPhoto6 was completed, I am unable to launch iPhoto 6 now. It continues to crash on ever launch. I have tried to recreate but iphoto will not stay open to recreate photos in the library. I appreciate your advise! Thank you
PowerBook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.7)

Are you seeing blank thumbnail or no thumbnails at all? Your original image file should be in the Originals folder of the iPhoto Library folder. Check in it and its subfolders. If they are there then you know your files are save.
If you have blank thumbnails try the following:
1 - download and run BatChmod on the iPhoto Library folder with the settings shown here, substituting your account name for mine. You can either type in the path to the folder or just drag the folder into that field.
If that's doesn't solve the problem I'd try creating a new library by rebuilding the library with iPhoto Library Manager. It does not change or modify your current library but copies the files and data it needs from the old library. Here's how:
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your User/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File->Rebuild Library menu option
In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
Click on the Create button.
Note: It can take some time to create the new library if you have a lot of photos. One user reported that with a library of about 5,000 images it took about 12 hours so plan ahead.
Good luck.

Iphone 4S frozen after recent IOS update ?

My Iphone4S was working perfectly before installing the IOS update on 03/14/14. Now it is frozen, I have no acces to restore from ITunes because the access is password protected. The guys at Apple Store said I need a new phone. The Supervisor at Apple Care, states that this is a hardware problem wich was present before, but this not affected the phone's operation, until the recent update was installed.
Since my Phone was out of warranty, I am told I have to get a new phone. My only mistake was to trust an update from Apple could be installed without damaging my IPhone. !!
Any recommendation on what to to do, besides buying a new phone ???

Oooooh, so you HAVE to have an extra computer? One for restoring and one to use to everything else?
I had this problem when updating to 4.0, 4.0.1 and 4.0.2 - only thing that got the phone going again was actually to JAILBREAK the bugger with a software download from dev.team and using that.
This can't be right!!! Apple, get it fixed or I'll stand clear of collecting my iPhone4 tomorrow, if this is how it has to be in the future. You have had several months to clear this mess up!

Having sound issues after recent IOS 6.1.2 update

After updating my Iphone 4s with IOS 6.1.2 the phone does not make any sounds. The headphones work but no sounds of any kind (keyboard, notification, games, music) nothing

Try a hard reset. press the home button and the power button for 30 seconds. once you see the whit apple let it go.
Also, isolate the issue by creating a video and a voice memo. (If theres no sound on either restore as new and then if the issue persists get a replacement.)
lastly, check to make sure the mute button is not on at the top left of the device( no red should be showing)

Hot spot s not visible after latest iOS version update on my iPad please help

hey personal hot spot is not visible after iOS latest version update on my iPad mini please help

Hey Devinder from chd,
For most issues with Personal Hotspot, try out the basic troubleshooting in the article below. It does talk about iPhone but the troubleshooting is the same for your iPad. If you are still having issues, let me know and I can see what else we can do after that.
iOS: Troubleshooting Personal Hotspot
http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT203302
Basic troubleshooting
See if your iOS device, computer, and wireless plan all meet the system requirements for Personal Hotspot.
Make sure Personal Hotspot is on: Tap Settings > Cellular > Personal Hotspot.
Check the Internet connection on your iOS device: Tap Safari and load a new webpage.
If one connection type doesn't work, try another. For example, instead of connecting using Wi-Fi, use USB or Bluetooth.
Turn Personal Hotspot off and on: Tap Settings > Personal Hotspot or Settings > Cellular > Personal Hotspot.
Install the latest version of iOS.
Reset your network settings: Tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
If you still see the issue, restore the iPhone.
Take it easy,
-Norm G.

I've tried PRAM reset, repair disk and permissions but cannot boot up after recent install of OSX 8.4. Please help

After having to do a forced shut down (holding down power button) due to freezing I cannot again progress past the grey screen with the apple logo. The spinning cog comes on at first then disappears leaving just the apple logo (in case that is sognificant).
I have tried to find a solution through the support pages but have unfortunately been unsuccessful in my endeavours so do apologise I have overlooked the obvious and would really appreciate some help. I've just started the second year of my Uni and the timing couldn't be worse.
I have tried the following:
1) held down option and started in "recovery 10.8.4" from which I used disk utility to "repair disk", which at first needed some repairs and then I ran it again for the second time to confirm it had a clean bill of health.
2) I then ran "repair disk permissions" and repeated a second time to confirm it was all working well (however one error remained "warning: SUID file "system/library/CoreS... has been modified and will not be repaired" but have read that this should not be a big problem) After which I tried to start up again and it hung with the apple logo on the grey screen.
3) tried resetting the PRAM by holding down cmd+option+P+R before powering up, but it only chimes once and then restarts the mac, then chimes once and repeats the process again in and endless cycle.
4) I then tried 1 and 2 again and then tried to reinstall OSX 10.8.4 from the recovery mode, but this came up with the message "an error occured while preparing the installation. Try running this application again" to which I followed but to no avail.
5) I tried starting up in safe mode by holding down shift after the chime at startup but safe mode did not start after 3 hours. During which point I was drowning my frustration in the pub.
6) I tried starting in verbose mode with cmd+V but after running the script it reverts back to the grey screen.
I have not tried booting from an install disk as im a few hours from home on a uni campus with no apple store in sught and all day lectures so no hope to visit far away stores. I hope I have explained it in enough detail and appreciate any direction or thoughts as to it being salvageable. Failing which it might be time go go back to the pub and remember the importance of regular backups!
Many thanks
Stephen

I have one more development to add. In step "4" above I suspected that it could be something to with the Ethernet settings as I hadn't had the option of typing in the colleges wifi credentials. So I tried the "get help online" option to test it, managed to sign in and tried the step 4 again.
This time I received a different error message "could not find installation information for this machine".
Thanks
