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

Hi,
After upgrading to ios 5.1.1 the icons (delete, export, mail) below the file names in garage band are missing. Any ideas about this. Thanks.Oh, I've tried this as well: http://blog.scoopz.com/2010/09/11/iphone-camera-roll-thumbnails-corrupt-shows-bl ack-boxes-fix/, but it didn't make a difference; the videos I capture with the iphone are fine, it's the movies I uploaded myself that don't have a thumbnail.

IOS 6 wiped all of my contacts! The numbers are still there but their names are gone. HELP!
IOS 6 wiped all of my contacts! The numbers are still there but their names are gone. HELP!
Thanks. I think I'm going to try and revert my old 3GS to factory settings, put my last back up on it and manually enter all my phone numbers. I'm too worried about messing everything up! I'm typically good with technological issues but my iPhone scares the crap out of me since it is so essential to everything haha

Running a presentation via VGA out with Firefox/Safari open. When I hit 'esc' to come out of slideshow, monitor stated resolution too low. Now Safari and Firefox browsers are still open, but I can't see the browser window on either. Ideas?
If you use Lion, go to Applications/ Mission Control and, if you have more Desktops, as attached, it means you have more, and you must select the one you need for a certain app. If default settings has not changed, this is Control with left / right arrow
If in Snow Leopard and earlier, you have these settings in System Preferences only. In Lion, you also have some settings in Sys Prefs. -

i need to move home and refresh icons back to the left. I uninstalled Firefox 4 and reinstalled Firefox 3.6 and the home and refresh icons are still on the right. Help!You can right-click on the "Home" button and choose "Customize," then drag all of the icons (including Home and Reload) to where you want them.

I noticed that after upgrading to iOS 8.0 on my iPhone 5s, adding custom labels for contact numbers got removed. It still exists on iOS 8.1 as well. Is there someone who is facing a similar issue or can someone help me how to get that back. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.Hi Yugendra,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
I have good news. You can still choose a custom label in Contacts on iOS 8. The option should be below "Other" in the list of labels when editing a contact. This information is found in the iOS 8 user guide:
Contacts at a glance - iPhone
Change a label. If a field has the wrong label, such as Home instead of Work, tap Edit. Then tap the label and choose one from the list, or tap Add Custom Label to create one of your own.
Best Regards,

Issues with getting the slide button to work after upgrade to iOS 7.02 and 7.03
Ever since upgrading to iOS 7.02 and 7.03 having issues with getting the slide button to work to open up iPad 2. Happened last week and was able to restore it to new and get it to work again and it worked great until one week later (this morning) doing the same thing. Have tried restoring iPad to new 3 times (via itunes) and still unable to get the slide button to move so can use the iPad. IPad able to charge, able to restore, able to sync with itunes even able to recover but not able to get past first screen where you have to slide to access iPad. Any help would be greatly appeciated. Live about 300 miles from nearest Apple store.
I am beginning to wonder whether there isn't some weird problem with that Home button.
Try this: Settings > General > Accessibility > AssistiveTouch = On
This will place a button on the iPad's screen.
You can move this button anywhere on the screen.
This button gives you - amongst many other things - a soft Home button.
To turn your iPad on, you can use the Sleep/wake button or move a small magnet across the bezel of the iPad where the volume controls are.
If you use the magnet, then: Settings > General > Lock / Unlock = On
Now should not need to press the Home button anymore.
If this method allows you to use your iPad without a hitch, then suspect hardware problems with the Home button. -
AAfter upgrading to IOS 8.1, the activity icon on the status bar will not stop rotating. It's like the webpage never completely downloads. Any suggestions?

Thanks for your quick response. I've tried everything you suggested and get only temporary fixes. Sometimes for a day or two, sometimes only until I use Safari for the first time. It's annoying and probably effects battery life between charges.
You would think that it must have some effect on the battery, but oddly enough, the update to iOS 8 actually helped my battery life, in spite of all of these hinky little issues that are taking place. In my experience, the activity icon is not affecting the battery in a negative way.
Another issue with IOS 8.1 that you may have seen is the loss of icon pictures on home pages. Again it seems to be Safari related, since app icons found in the App Store are not affected, only web based icons you personally put on home pages. I get what I call a test screen similar to what you used to get on old tv sets on every one of my personal icons.
I know exactly what you mean. I got that as well. On a few of them, when I opened the websites using the generic test screen icons and then closed them, they changed back to the way that they should look. For the ones that did not change, I recreated the home screen shortcuts and deleted the generic looking ones - the test screen icons.
And don't get me started on iBooks.
For the very limited use that I make of the iBooks app, i haven't noticed any problems, but I rarely use the app. I don't read books on the iPad other than a few user guides and if they are pdf guides, they reside in more reliable and feature rich pdf apps on my iOS device.
I wish that I had the fix for the spinning activity icon, but everything that I try, is temporary at best. IMO, this is the buggiest iOS update that I have seen, and I have been using iOS devices since iOS 3 on my first iPad. I realize that there are plenty of people that are not experiencing issues, but I have seen a number of weird things that I wish I could fix. None of my problems are major, but they are annoying. -
No connection to Wifi after upgrade to iOS 7.1 AND poor battery life
Hi,
after upgrading my iPhone 4s to iOS to 7.1, I cannot connect to any Wifi anymore. Does anybody have an idea how to solve this issue?
Additional, I am wondering why battery life is much worse after the upgrade. I closed all apps via multitasking view. Nevertheless, battery is empty within a couple of hours. (before the upgrade, it lasted approx one day!!!)
Any help is highly appreciated!
Thanks!After every iOS update there are reports of users experiencing faster than normal battery drain. Most find that basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide resolves the issue.
Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new).
I am not having issues with battery drain on my device, it was at 50% around 2PM today, removed off the charger at 6:30AM and I'm a fairly heavy user of the device. -
Push email (MS exchange) works intermittently after upgrade to ios 5.1 and ios 5.1.1
I have an iphone 4 with my office email (MS exchange) account configured. Other accounts are Gmail & iCloud.
Office email is configured as Push, Gmail as Fetch and iCloud as Push.
Till ios 5.0.x everything was fine. Office emails were getting pushed and there were no issues.
However after upgrading/restore to ios 5.1 & then 5.1.1 push email mostly does not work.
Few observations :
1. Push email works fine when I am at home on wi-fi.
2. When I leave home for work (therefore on 3G), mails stop getting pushed. Sometimes they get pushed for a period of 1 to 2 hours. Then they stop
3. Manually fetching office mails also does not work
4. Strangle accessing the office webmail site in Safari https://mail.xxxxx.com does NOT work. While i can load other sites in safari, the mail site does not load.
5. In office sometimes in the lift phone switches from 3G to Edge or no signal and then when out of the lift, suddenly mails get pushed, but then stop after some time.
6. Moment I get onto wi-fi, push emails start working
7. There is no issue with accessing gmail.
8. Other push notifications work (gmail app, facebook notifications etc)
9. There have been no changes to our MS exchange server
10. I have tried the usual stuff of resetting network settings, rebooting the phone, killing the mail app, going to airplane mode, deleting the mail a/c and recreating etc etc. But no luck.
Apart from upgrading/restoring to 5.1 and then 5.1.1, there have been no changes. The upgrades were done OTA, restore from 5.1.1.
However both times I have not set the phone as new and have restored backups.
Is anybody facing a similar issue ?
Any suggestions ?Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new). Has any of this been tried?

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. -
IPod touch 4,1 bricked after upgrading to iOS 6.0 and then 6.0.1.
Hi all
I have an iPod touch 4th generation, 8GB. The other week I installed the new iOS 6.0 software update, from 5.1.1. after installing and rebooting the iPod just when black, I have assumed that it's been bricked, but how? It just stays black, sometimes it'll reboot, but then go black again, sometimes it'll do the infinite loop of death! Then I force it into Recovery mode, clicked Restore and after iTunes extracing the IPSW, it came back with error -1 ????? So I put it into DFU mode, then iTunes showed that iOS 6.0.1 was released. iTunes downloaded it, i put it into DFU mode and then restore to the new 6.0.1, and then everything goes well, untill it does the same as before, when I upgraded to 6.0?
I know I can't downgrade back to 5.1.1, Apple had stopped signing old ipsws, but I do however have my previously saved SHSH blobs, I can patch them onto my 5.1.1 ipsw, but I don't know weather that's illegal or not. SO, basically, my iPod is unusable.
Troubleshooting - what I've done:
-I've deleted the 6.0 and 6.0.1 and being promted to download them again in iTunes, still didn't work
-I've tried reinstalling iTunes, current version 10.7, I run weekly Apple Software updates to get the lastest
-I've tried using different USB cords, Apple 30-pin connector cords, don't know if that was necessary
What Haven't done:
-Never Jailbroken this iPod
-Never moderated, read, write or execute any iPod software or any of the Raw system files
My iPod was just fine before all this crap happened, I depend on it for everything, although the Capacity isin't great, and the RAM is just ****, please someone help :'(Error 1 or -1
This may indicate a hardware issue with your device. Follow Troubleshooting security software issues, and restore your device on a different known-good computer. If the errors persist on another computer, the device may need service.
- If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order. Note the article includes :"the device may need service".:

How to save your photos after upgrading to iOS 6 OTA and stuck in DFU or Recovery Mode
Ive been working on this all day. I found somebody's JAR that is able to provide SSH acess into your phone even if you are stuck in recovery or dfu mode. I am running a macbook pro with win 64 bootcamp and couldnt get itunes 32 bit installed to work with the JAR so I restarted in MacOS rather than mucking around with getting itunes 32. I then clicked the JAR and mac asked to install a java runtime. After doing this, the JAR would run and eventually put my phone into a state where I could SSH into it. After that, I downloaded Cyberduck and copied /mnt1 and /mnt2 to my mac in case I needed anything off of these. I ran PhotoRec and it began to find tons of pictures, pdfs, and whatnor. Rather than wait for it to find the stuff I really wanted, I searched through /mnt2/mobile/media/dcim/ and got all my pics. Awesome. What a pain.
That took all day to figure out. Ugh.Sorry, the link to the JAR is http://www.ifans.com/forums/threads/ssh-working-on-ios-6.377392/

Remote app no longer working after upgrade to iOS 4.3 and iTunes 10.2.1 (1)
I am unable to use my Remote app 2.1.1 with my iTunes 10.2.1.
I recently updated all software/firmware as follows:
1st Gen iPad - iOS 4.3 (8F190)
iTunes - 10.2.1 (1)
Remote - 2.1.1
I am using an iMac circa 2005 (6.1)
Mac OS X 10.6.7
2.33 Ghz Intel Core Duo; 2 GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM
Wirless Router: Netgear WNDR3400, SSIDs off, WMM enabled.
I have turned on Home Sharing on both iTunes and the Remote app.
I have made sure that both iMac and iPad are on same network.
I have made sure that iTunes is allowing incoming connections through the firewall settings in system preferences.
I have deleted and reinstalled both iTunes on the iMac and Remote app on the iPad.
I have trashed the preferences for iTunes.
I have gone to Settings on the iPad and turned on Home Sharing through the iPod app.
I no longer see "Automatically search for iPods, iPhones, or iPads" in the iTunes preferences...ANYWHERE.
I have reset the router.
I have reinstalled iTunes 10.1.1 - didn't work, re-updated to 10.2.1
Installed Mac OS X 10.6.7 combo update.
Nothing seems to work.
iTunes does not show my iPad when the Remote app is launched and gives me the 4 digit code to type in to pair it.
Anyone else having this issue?
Any solutions?
Thank you,same issue iphone 4

my bluetooth not working
Just reboot your laptop... While its rebooting try to reboot your phone also by holding the home and power buttonn for 10-15 seconds...When your phone is turned off try to connect it to iTunes and it will recognize your phone in recovery mode.
If you have the .ipsw file for iOS 7.0.6 saved in your desktop then in itunes press shift and click on Restore.
Select the ipsw file and let it restore.
If you dont have it downloaded then simply click on restore.
I hope it works
Cheers !
