After upgrade to iOS5, 1/3 of app icons are blank.

The buttons with title are there but no logo picture.

Maybe delete the app and reload it from your backup?
BTW, did you run a general app update after upgrading to iOS5? I ask because I had about a dozen or so app updates available around the time that iOS5 came out. Worth checking in the app store.

After upgrade to ios5, none of the apps will load. Touching an icon does not open the app; it just blinks and returns to the screen.

Go to the App Stor and download an app- any free app will do, it doesn't matter.
Doing this usually "resets" your device's "app awareness" and you should be able to run any app with no problem.
And no, you don't have to keep that free one you just downloaded. You can delete it if you don't want it.

I am getting this error message after upgrading to iOS5: "iTunes cannot sync apps to the iPad "ray's iPad" because the apps installed on the iPad could not be determined."

I wiped it out and restored from backup but I am still getting the same message.

I uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes and that fixed it. Here are the specific instructions that I was given.

My app icons are blank

My app icons appear as white boxes with the app names underneath it. What can I do to fix this?

Try a hard reset first. To do this, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.
If that doesn't work, unsync and resync the apps from your iPod via iTunes.

After upgrading to IOS.5, "Contacts" and "Good" icons are still apparent but inactive

Welcome screen appears for less than one second and then disappear

So just got off the phone with a senior Apple support person and here is the fix they gave me for the app issue. Not sure if it will work until I get home to try it. It appears that a lot of these issues are in relation to Apple's move from a generic Apple ID not attached to a specific email to an actual email address. Since my .mac or .me email was never verified with my original Apple ID (just my name) the iCloud was not recognizing that I actually had any apps associated with my account when signing in with the new .mac email that was connected to the iCloud. The below fix she stated would separate the iCloud and iTunes allowing the iCloud to handle all of my mail, contacts, calendars etc. and iTunes/store to handle the apps and purchases. I will update again if this takes care of the issue.
Go to applied.apple.com
-       sign on with existing Apple ID (not an email address)
-       add an email to your account and verify it
-       edit your Apple ID to the new verified email address
On iTunes
Step #1
-          iTunes store
-          click on Apple ID in the upper right corner
-          click edit
-          edit Apple ID to new verified email address associated to account
Step #2
-          synch device with cord
-          click on device
-          go to the App tab
-          deselect synch apps
-          apply
-          synch
-          go to the App tab
-          select synch apps
-          apply
Step #3
-          on device go to store and enter the new verified email address as ID and password under store
You probably will have to do this to all devices that are synching with your iTunes account

After rearranging icons on Springboard, some icons are blank

I moved several apps to different locations or pages. When I turned on the phone this morning, most of the app icons are blank. I resynced with iTunes but now both iTunes and the iPhone are showing blank icons. How do I get the icons back?

I unchecked all additional apps on the iPhone from the iTunes app tab and then resynced to remove the apps from the device. I then checked the apps again and resynced. The icons were no longer blank on the iPhone Springboard but were no longer arranged on the pages I had moved them to. I'll live with this solution until someone else posts a reply.

How do i get all my contacts back after upgrading to ios5?

After upgrading to ios5, I lost all my contacts, notes, pictures, videos, EVERYTHING ! All my apps were back, but not in the folders I had set up. I lost all my notes from school, my homework, my passwords for everything too...this really *****.

You can look at this document about a restore, http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414, but it will show you that after you restore, it takes you to the Setup assistant which is what you encounter with a new device. From there, you select to restore to a backup and select the iCloud backup.

My Battery is GREAT after upgrading to IOS5.1 I had to do a restore as new phone.

After upgrading to IOS5.1 my battery performance did not get better. After doing a restore as a new phone, it is working VERY WELL! I suggest if you are still having problems after upgrading, resto

I suggest turning off locations services, wifi, turn on "Auto brightness", and under Diagnostics & Usage, tick "don't send". By doing this I have increase my battery life from less than one day, to almost two days now. It doesn't seem to be a huge secret that the more apps using locations services, or sending data every 15 minutes tends to use up the battery really fast. I don't care if someone posts on facebook, or twitter, I don't want anyone tracking my phone, I don't use iCloud. But I do text alot, I check email about every 4 hours or more, and I do rack up some time on the internet.

Can't unbrick 3GS after upgrading to iOS5.1.1

i cannot unbrick my 3GS after upgrading to iOS5.1.1 it is not giving me an option to factory reset. When i hook up with iTunes to unbrick it after 3-4 mion it says there is no SIM card please insert SIM and SIM card is inside phone which i was using before upgrading iOS. please help
thanks

Assuming you're still using Telus, I'd say take it into their shop and get a fresh replacement SIM. If it wasn't hacked or jailbroken, that's the most likely explanation. I realize you've tried different ones, but it's worth a shot.
You might want to try putting it in DFU mode and restoring again as well. If those things don't work, it's probably time for a trip to the Apple Store to have it looked at.

After upgrading to iOS5 - phone ear speaker is NOT working

Well, my excitement from upgrading to the new iOS5 on my iPhone 4 gave way to frustration when I found out that the phone's built-in ear speaker is no longer working. Tried everything from a hard reset, to re-syncing with iTunes, playing around with every setting I could find, and a few "fixes" I found online that were absolutely useless and did nothing.
This only appears to happen when making or receiving phone calls (and listening to voice mail) - when I select speaker, all audio plays normally, but clicking back over to headset, and nothing. Earbuds also work okay.
Prior to installing iOS5 this problem did not exist in the least.
Apple - I am going to ASSUME you properly beta tested this OS on ALL compatible devices prior to its release, did you not? Apparently (from my web searching) I am not the only person suffering this malfunction with their iPhone after upgrading to iOS5.
Is there anyone out there that has figured out a way to fix this, or am I just screwed? I don't know how to revert back to iOS 4.3.3 if that's even possible at this point. This is a phone I use for work, and I need to have this functioning properly.
Please help. Anyone... thank you.

I'm having exactly the same problem with my iPhone 4. Since the upgrade to IOS5, I've noticed I can no longer hear calls through the ear-piece, though using the speaker phone option works fine.
I took my phone to the Apple Store in Sydney and they advised that the problem was related to my sim card & that I should contact my telco for a replacement. I seriously didn't believe the Apple rep when she said this, but politely said thanks, went home and tried it out by swapping my sim with my wife's.
Guess what... it didn't make the slightest difference.
My wife has an iPhone 4 still running IOS4 and the ear-piece works fine. I even put my sim card into her phone and it worked fine as well. So the issue is definitely not related to the sim card.
It sounds like a common issue affecting a lot of iPhone 4 users that have upgraded to IOS5. I'm surprised Apple hasn't acknowledged this and have a patch available to correct (it doesn't sound like a hardware issue).
Anyway, looks like a trip back to the Apple store for more great suggestions.
