After updating to IOS 8 on my iPhone 5 ...phone is not staying charged... How can downgrade if phone is dead

NEed help with the subject matter

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.

  • After updating to iOS 5, my Iphone 4 is not reading my SIM Card.  I went to ATT and got a brand new SIM Card, and it still hasn't worked. Can you help??

    After updating my iphone 4 to iOS 5, it refused to read my att SIM Card.  I went to the Apple store (Lennox Mall, Atlanta Georgia) for help, they told me that it was an Att problem, and needed me to get a brand new Sim Card from Att.  I went to Att and replaced my SIM Card to a new one.  I later returned to the Apple store, but the phone still didn't work.  The apple techs blamed the att network, and stated I needed to go home and wait for 24-48 hrs, and retry the att network again, and hopefully the phone will work.  The next option they gave me was to pay $200.00 to get a replacement because my phone was out of warranty.
    So I basically I have a phone which has never been dropped, not abused, no water damage or what so ever.  Prior to my IOS 5 update, it worked perfectly without any problems.  Now, that its not working as a result of either Apple's or Att's fault, no one seems to be helping or standing behing their product.  Both parties are blaming each other for the problem.  Can someone help??

    I've seen a number of reports of this on here. In most cases where people took their phones in to the Apple store, they were given a replacement, even if the phone was out of warranty.

  • After upgrading to iOS 5, my synced photos are not alphabetical.  How can I fix this?

    I have around 2,000 pictures in my camera roll and around 4-5 albums.  Before, all my pictures were sorted alphabetically, but after this upgrade each album's pictures seem to be in a random order.  Any ideas on how to order them the same way they are on my PC?

    I'm afraid you'll have to wait until both Apple and the makers of your games/apps upgrade to new versions.
    Apparently there are still some issues with iOS7 that are being dealt with and the same with some apps.
    As for going back, I don't think you will be able to get this information from these forums...

    I suppose that you can demand all you want. It would have to be proven that the iOS update broke this particular function but it could also be said that it was just a matter of time that the broken thing manifested itself. Since the phone is out of warranty, it could also be said that it is your risk to update software. I'm not trying to be argumentative here, but we are not Apple. We are users like you and just try and provide support to other users. What you decide to do from here is your decision. I've given you all I know to do.

    Howdy syafiqahmad,
    If your iMessage and FaceTime still hasn't activated by now, I would recommend you use this specific section of the following article as long as you verify you've done all the other troubleshooting from it for this issue:
    If you get an error when trying to activate iMessage or FaceTime 
    If you're using an iPhone, contact your carrier to make sure that you can receive SMS messages.
    Contact Apple Support.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Take care,
    Sterling

  • The playlists I created have disappeared after updating to iOS 7.1. I have not backed up this phone to a computer - only backing up with iCloud. Is there a way to recover my playlists?

    Dictation in text message = Does not work
    Speaking with Siri via activated with Home button = Does not work
    Speaking with Siri with "Raise to Speak' = WORKS
    Voice Memos = WORKS
    Speaker phone on call = WORKS
    Voice control instead of Siri = WORKS
    I've tried hard reset, settings reset, wiping and reloading backup...nothing. Was hoping 7.1 might offer some respite, but no dice....
    I was hoping 7.1 would somehow solve it.

    Probably the app developers fault but then Apple needs to warn people about compatiblity of apps... I will add a review note to TOP 3 to warn people
    If it is an app compatibility issue - it IS the app developers responsibility to make sure that they update their apps in order to work with the new iOS. Apple owes no users a warning whatsoever. Common sense tells me that a very old app that has not been updated for the last two iOS updates just might not make the grade in the third iOS release since the app came out.
    I can't even find an App called Top 3 Solitaire in the U.S. App Store. Perhaps the app was so old and it hasn't been updated in so long so it was pulled from the App Store.

  • I have problem with my iphone 4s my battery is not keeping charge. how can I get help with this one. it is less than a year that I purchased this cell.

    I have problem with my iphone 4s my battery is not keeping charge. how can I get help with this one? it is less than a year that I purchased this cell.

    I would like to know the answer to that one.  I realized this was happening just after upgradeing my iOS to 6.  Then when I looked up my purchase date, I was about 5 days past my one year warranty.  So I'm dead in the water.  Apple will replace the battery, but it will be about $80+.  I took it to the Apple store, and they checked a bunch of stuff, but said that it seemed ok.  I'm debating getting a battery for a more reasonable price off of ebay.  But if it's the iOS thats draining the battery, then I'm not going to be able to help it.  I wish I knew a better way to tell if its the battery, the phone, or the iOS.

  • I can't play the downloaded iTunes movie on my newly updated iMac to OS X Maverick. Why not? And How can I get it to work? Thanks.

    I can't play the downloaded iTunes movie on my newly updated iMac to OS X Maverick. Why not? And How can I get it to work? Thanks.

    Do you get any error message?
    What actually happens when you open it?
    What app are you trying to play the files inside? Try iTunes.
    I assume these files have DRM from the iTunes store. The Mac needs to be authorized to play them, open iTunes & select Authorize in the store menu, then sign in with the Apple ID that purchased the files.
    Select the iTem in iTunes & get info on it (from the File menu) & you can see the account name that it belongs to.

  • In "find my iPhone" i entered the functional "delete data". now i found my iPhone. it was not online. How can i modify it? nothing is deleted at this time

    in "find my iPhone" i entered the functional "delete data". now i found my iPhone. it was not online. How can i modify it? nothing is deleted at this time

    If you selected to erase the device using the find my iPhone erase feature, as soon as your iPhone reconnects with apple systems, it will erase.  This command cannot be cancelled.  However, you will be able to restore your device using the most recent icloud or itunes backup.
    Hope this helps.

  • Can't send iMessage after update to IOS 7 on iPhone 5

    After I update to IOS 7 on iPhone 5 the iMessage function seems not working properly. when I trying to send iMassage the "sending" bar loads up to 90% (slowly) and then stops dead and doesn't move. It stays at that 90% mark until it either starts working, many minutes later, until I delete the message, until it goes to "sending failed" or whatever it says with the little red "!" it will not automatically send by text even the iMessage function is not working. This problem wasn't happened all the time but regularly. This problem happened when I update to IOS 7 on my iPhone 5 and also happened in my friends' iPhone 5 with IOS 7. After I restart everything will back to normal until it crashes again.
    Anyone who get the same problem like me?

    I found the same solution, resetting network settings. Sure we have to re-input Wi-Fi network passwords, but it's not a big deal. What is a big deal is that this solution is temporary -it works for a day or two and then the problem returns, for both me (iPhone 4, 7.0.2 Verizon) and my wife (iPhone 5, 7.0.2 AT&T). I've just reset my network settings for the 2nd time since installing iOS 7 on launch day and 7.0.2 on it's launch day.
    C'mon Apple! A little help here? I really don't want to have to do this every few days.

  • After updating to iOS 8 my iPad 2 does not keep my user name and password for isp start page

    After updating to iOS 8 my i pad 2 does not store the user name and password for my earthlink start page.  In past could go to bookmark and the start
    page would automatically come up.  Now I must enter the user name and password every time to access the personalized start page.  tried to find some settings that needed changing but no luck.  is this a problem with iOS 8     Earthlink referred me to apple   they could not help    any help here

    Hello nkrlw,
    It may be that AutoFill is disabled in Safari, or that Private Browsing is on.
    Go to Settings > Safari > Passwords & AutoFill and make sure that Names and Passwords is on.
    Go to your Home screen and open Safari. If Safari is black or dark instead of white or gray, Private Browsing is on. Safari doesn't save account names and passwords when Private Browsing is on. To turn off Private Browsing:
    On iPad, tap the the plus icon in the upper-right corner of the Safari page, then tap Private in the lower-left corner.
    On iPhone and iPod touch, tap  in the lower-right corner of the Safari page, then tap Private in the lower-left corner.

  • After update to iOS 7.1, iPhone 4 won't work. Stuck in recovery mode. Won't restore.

    Hello,
    So I'm pretty baffled at this point. Last night I started downloading the iOS 7.1 update as my iPhone 4 was plugged into iTunes. The update did not complete on my phone. Instead, the dreaded "Connect to iTunes" logo appeared. After researching last night and again this morning, I have not found a solution.
    When I plug my phone into iTunes, this message appears: "iTunes has detected an iPhone in recovery mode. You must restore this iPhone before it can be used with iTunes." Then, I have the option to restore iPhone.
    So, having come to terms that I will lose all data - luckily my photos and videos have all been uploaded to my computer - I began restoring it. As it's downloading, this message then appears:
    I've read through the "More Information" page several times. Checked my host file, added the "# " in front of the gs.apple.com IP address, restarted the computer, and still no luck. I haven't tried updating or restoring on another computer yet, but I have a feeling that won't change anything - I've read other people's accounts and that step just didn't work.
    I updated my iTunes to the lastest version and restarted. Nothing.
    I downloaded tinyumbrella and RecBoot to try and exit the apparent recovery mode. This didn't work. I have tried numerous times restarting the phone (holding down the home button and power button) with different variations of unplugging the USB from my laptop, letting go of the home button when the Apple logo appears, holding down the + volume button along with the power button, etc.
    Does anyone know what I should do? Would calling Apple help? Or would going in person to an Apple store be better? Would they replace my phone? I don't see how this can be resolved unless the Geniuses have a universal restart method that bypasses everything. I need my phone for work and would be okay with just restoring the phone. Note: My phone has not been jailbroken.
    Really hope someone can help. I would greatly appreciate it...
    Thank you!

    The fact that gs.apple.com was in your host file to begin with is an indicator that your computer was used to jailbreak or hack an iOS device at some point in the past. You can not get help here for a hacked or jailbroken device. If your phone was hacked or jailbroken, Apple won't touch it.
    RecBoot and Tinyumbrella are hacking tools.
    Google "iPhone DFU mode".
    Try restoring in DFU mode. If that doesn't fix it, make an appointment at the genius bar and see what Apple has to say about it.
