After updating the iOS from 4.2.1 to 4.3.3 the WLAN connection to a Win7 Hotspot (Connectify) is no longer working in the sence that UPnP Apps like PlugPlayer can connect to a Media Server (Twonky) on the Win7 PC in a stable way. What to do?
I created a backup of the iPod in iTunes before updating to iOS 4.33 but after the update I can not restore. The backup is no longer shown in iTunes. I think iOS 4.3.3 has some differences in handling WLAN due to the Hot Spot capability for the iPone 4 which might cause these problems.
Please help. The only use of my iPod touch is to remote control my media network. And exactly that is no longer working the way it was before the update!
Best Regards,
Gerd
Now this has two direct effects - firstly it has increased the 3g usage for data and secondly it causes 'blips' with the ability to connect to previously working wifi connections.

We have identified that 4.2.1 in the iPhone 4 has WPA2 key length issues.
Although I have seen posts about the problem WPA2 key length problem, I am using an iPhone 4 with iOS 4.2.1 and have no problems connecting to my WiFi that uses WPA2 AES with a key that is over 20 characters.

There is also one other school of thought that we have which is to do with the increased battery performance on the iPhones. It looks as though the iPhone drops WiFi when it goes to sleep (ie: when it is turned off in normal mode).
An iPhone will maintain a WiFi connection when in sleep mode if it is connected to a power source.
I have no doubt that many users are experiencing problems with their iPhones. I just feel lucky that I haven't experienced any big issues with mine.

my iPad 2 gets hanged often after updating my iOS from iOS 7.1.2 to iOS 8,what should I do?
I'm sorry, but Apple does not provide a downgrade path for iOS. Because downgrading is unsupported by Apple we cannot discuss it on these forums.

Email not cc'ing, Email not cc'ing or fwding after update to ios 7.0.6
Email not fwding or cc'ing after update to ios 7.0.6 but able to send and receive just fine. Anyone have any solutions?
I'm sorry if I sound intrusive, but did you even read my question? I did not mention the speaker or the microphone at all but yes I tested them anyways. When I said I tested and replaced them, I was talking about the two previous parts I had mentioned, the dock, and the headset jack because the device is acting as if it is docked on something like an iHome, or plugged into a headset. But FYI, I did also test the speaker and it was the correct putting out the correct ohms and voltage, that is not the issue. Especially since I have sound sometimes and there are no loose connections in the phone. Like I said, I don't plan on going to apple at all as they will not help me with a software issue. And furthermore I mentioned jailbreaking because I know how to do it. I've done it before, I've done it for friends. Did not say that this phone was jailbroken. I didn't think I could have been anymore clearer on the issues I was having and steps I've taken to try and resolve this problem but thanks for your help anyway's.

after updating to ios 6.1.3 seems my factory unlocked 3gs is not working, i cant even restore..the message displayed is "itunes software update server cannot be contacted" 'm using latest itunes with winows xp system...........please please help me
There is no such thing as a "Factory Unlocked iPhone "
They are either locked to a carrier who may at some stage offer unlocking
or sold direct to a user by Apple (from their own Stores or online .)
Those iPhones are NOT locked
Where did you get your iPhone
If from Apple try this

After updating to ios 6 my phone had to be restored. Now it will not acitvate. I am receiving the message that ther server is unavailable. However, I can not use my phone at all until it is activated. why can I not activate?
Well, 99.9% of the time, the cause of this issue is the fact the phone was jailbroken/hacked to unlock it for use on networks other than the network the phone was originally locked to. Apple maintains a database of officially unlocked iPhones, and when Apple's servers detect phones such as yours, activation stops & you get the message you got.
So, either get a sim card from the carrier your phone was originally locked to, or get it officially unlocked. -
After updating to ios 8 on my iphone 4s, all my music from iphone disappered. I tried all the suggestions, but I cant see music folder in the settings-general at all. I signed out of icloud as well, but still cannot sync with itune on my macbookpro. Can any one help?
Hello babichanjacob
Change how it syncs by enabling Manually manage music and videos, then you can drag and drop the music that you want on your iPhone. Revert it back to test to see if that resolves the issue.

Is it still possible to downgrade from ios 6 to ios 5.1.1 on my ipod touch 4th gen as of Sept.24? Also, if I use a backup created AFTER updating to ios 6, when I restore/downgrade to ios 5.1.1, does it become ios 6 again because of the version of ios 6 that I created the backup on?
There has never been a legit way to downgrade.
It will always restore to the latest available software. -
my ipod touch is 3rd gen how can i update my ios from 4.2.1 to 5.1.1 when i shift + restore and load the ipod3_5.1.1.ios its always say your firmware is not compatible
I suspect you have a 2G iPod. Those can only go to iOS 4.2.1.
Identifying iPod models
iPod touch (3rd generation)
iPod touch (3rd generation) features a 3.5-inch (diagonal) widescreen multi-touch display and 32 GB or 64 GB flash drive. You can browse the web with Safari and watch YouTube videos with Wi-Fi. You can also search, preview, and buy songs from the iTunes Wi-Fi Music Store on iPod touch.
The iPod touch (3rd generation) can be distinguished from iPod touch (2nd generation) by looking at the back of the device. In the text below the engraving, look for the model number. iPod touch (2nd generation) is model A1288, and iPod touch (3rd generation) is model A1318. -
I purchased three autobooks from itunes last weekend and after updating my ios to 7 they no longer appear. I looked at my purchse history and they are not showing in my purchase history. I do have the receipts for the charge. How do I restore these?
"I did make a full back up of my phone prior to updating the iOS"
Itunes content is not incliuded in the backup that itunes performs.
Audiobooks are not part of icloud and cannot be redownloaded.
You can try contacting itunes support and asking for an exception. -
After updating to IOS 6.0.1 I cannot copy photos from the iPhoto library to the iPhone. The events appear correctly but the photo count in all the Events is 0
Same problem here, and it's not isolated.

I believe you will find you can again sync Photos if you delete the "iPod Photo Cache", but predict that any subsequent attempt will fail. In my case, the enxt sync removes all the photos again - I've seen other reports of error messages upon sync. Mine just fails silently. :-) -
My iphone 5c crashed after updating to IOS 8.02 and now i don't have anything from the last 3 months. What do I do?
Don't worry about that. iPhone stuck in recovery mode always happens when you update the iOS on your iPhone. There are two ways to solve it.
First is is to put your iPhone in DFU mode.
Step 1. Turn off iPhone
Step 2. Hold down the Power and Home button.
Step 3. When you see the Apple logo, release the power button but continue holding the Home button down.
Step 4. Open iTunes and wait for it to tell you that it’s in restore mode.
If DFU mode can't solve the problem, I'm afraid the only solution is to try some 3rd party software, like iPhone data recovery or something like that. You may simply try the tutorial here: How to Fix iPhone that is Stuck in Recovery Mode. -
after updates to ios 5.1.1...i can't add or edit my contacts and also can't take a photo at my contact lists. The '+' icon is suddenly disappear from my screen...anybody can assist me on this issue?
At last, the BEST solution!
In addition to my last post, here is the solution for fixing this problem without syncing your contacts with icloud.
It takes about 2 minutes and permanently solves the problem so you can start adding and editing your contacts again on IOS 5.1.1!
Basically you just need to follow these steps from the Settings page:
Enable Airplane Mode
Go to iCloud settings
Turn on Contacts
Agree to 'Merge Contact'
Wait for pop up to confim iCloud contacts are on
Turn off Contacts
Confirm that you want to Keep your Contact on the iPhone
Wait for pop up to confim iCloud contacts are off
Disable Airplane Mode
Airplane Mode temporarily blocks all phone signal/data to stop your contacts merging with icloud.
Thanks to Washyman and Drewie77 for that info above! I got it from this post and it worked fine. -
