After upgrading to IOS 5 my storage space in "other" is using 4.1GB of space..

After I updated to IOS 5, my storage space lost a huge amount of space.. The "Other" category is showing 4.1GB and I don't even see what it is that is using that space..

"Other" is for things that don't match the remaining categories defined by Apple. Quite often, a large "other" is the result of an app orphaning data on your phone. The app no longer cares about the data, but the phone says it wasn't properly deleted, so the phone keeps it around. It is possible that you also have a third party map program that has stored a large amount of map data as "other" for off-line usage.
In most cases, you can only recover this space by epfroming a factory restore, then re-installing your apps and data manually. My 2.5 year old iPod Touch has about 450MB of "other" and my iPhone 4 has about 580MB. I keep an eye on them and as long as it isn't causing me problems, I tend to not worry too much.

TS1398 After upgrade to iOS 6 i am not able to use wifi.

Connected, but no wifi traffic (at home).
After upgrade to iOS 6 i am not able to use wifi. I am connected to my home wifi but no trafic is coming through (safari, skype, twitter, app store). I have even tried recovery of my iPhone 4S using iTunes as well as using iPhone. But without effect.
Can not connect at all (at work).
Thank you for helpfull advice.

Please do not give me advice like:
switch proxy to auto
turn the flight mode on and off
turn the iphone on and off
release the ip
recovery the network settings
recovery firmware
I have tried all these, but did not work.
PS to apple:
I really did not expect this kind of trouble. If I would want to waste my time "repairing my device", I would buy an android phone!!!!!!

This helped me solve the problem:
I have changed the security from TKIP to AES and now my wifi works fine /sofar/.

TS3899 After upgrading to IOS 7, the only options Gmail gives using Safari or mail to attach files are attaching a camera roll file or draw a scribble. How can I attach a PDF or word doc? I was able to do so using IOS 6.

If you are not using Cellular Data, turn it off.

IPhone 4, 16 GB. After upgrading to iOS 7, despite having 10 GB free, the phone says No storage available. Tried a soft reset, tried restore as well. Still not working. iCloud is switched off.

My wife has an iPhone 4, 16 GB. After upgrading to iOS 7, despite having 10 GB free, the phone says No storage available. Tried a soft reset, tried restore as well. Still not working. iCloud is switched off.
Please help.. This has become a pain.. and of course theres no way to go back to iOS 6.

Make sure you have the Latest Version of iTunes (v11.1.5) Installed on your computer
iTunes free download from www.itunes.com/download
Then... Restore as New (not backup) and Re-Sync your Content.

I upgraded to iOS 5 and I went from having about 15GB of free space to being 4 GB over capacity. Any solutions which save me from having to re-organize all of my apps?

After I upgrded to iOS 5, the category of other is taking up 15.3 GB of space. Prior to the upgrade, I had approx. 15GB of free space on my 64 GB iPad. My concern is that the only solution to this problem that occurred from the "upgrade" is that I have to do a factory reset. If I do a factory reset, there are two big pain points.
1) The amount of time that it will take to get all of my stuff back onto the iPad. When I first got the iPad, it took about 2 days for the music, videos, and photos to load.
2) Re-organizing my apps. I currently have my 229 apps organized into 11 folders and 8 screens. I know this is a lot of apps, but I don't want to have to go through the struggle of getting it all organized as it is today. Is there any way to get all of the apps organized the same way post-reset that will not involve a whole lot of work by me?
I have tried to call Apple support to get help on this, but I have gone through 4 phone calls with hold times averaging 45 minutes before speaking to someone. After all of this time and effort, their solution is a factory restore and do all the work myself.

Hi again
The problem isn´t solved but we now know what it is.
Because I couldn´t upgrade the last 1-2 times with iTunes I though the problem was my iPod touch 3. generation, so when I heard that Apple couldn´t find or re-create the problem(s), then I flipped out. Sorry about that.
Because it looks as the problem belong to the Philips speakersystem (real name is DCM 580).
So when I received my touch back today and after speaking with Apple - DK, I looked at Philips support and found a firmware upgrade to the speakersystem from Sept. 23, 2011. Did upgrade my speakersystem and after that the rechargesystem through the dockconnection worked again. And at this afternoon on the homepage of my speakersystem, Philips tells us, that they have created a firmware update that only needs approval and then will be released at the homepage. So it looks at the whole problems was to some compatibility problems with the speakersystem after upgrading to iOS 5.0.
Its not easy to know where to start when 2 or more units are involved these days
Looked in the mirrow then I ofcourse know very well that we allways shall look for firmware and drive updates before anything else. This time I missed that because I have upgraded several time since February and uptil the day before upgrading to iOS 5.0 and none of thise upgrades had any needs for speakersystem upgrades.
Friendly regards

After upgrading to IOS 7 my iPad keeps restarting - it is now unusable.

After upgrading to IOS 7 my iPad keeps restarting. I mostly use my iPad as an eBook reader and all I am trying to do is read a pdf in iBooks. I get about halfway down the page and the iPad screen goes black and I get the restart apple logo.
I have tried restoring the iPad back to factory settings and restoring my conent but issue keeps happening. My iPad has 57Gb capacity and 5Gb free space.
I need to get this fixed quickly as I rely on access to my pdf documents for work.

After upgrading to 7.1.2 (my Ipad had about 40% battery life left) my Ipad would constantly reboot.
I restored the Ipad back to factory setting and restored from back-up.
When this was done, much to my dismay, it still continued to reboot every 10-30 seconds.
I was pretty PO'd, so I plugged the Ipad into the wall and went to bed.
Next morning, the battery was fully charged and the Ipad no longer was rebooting !!!!
The only problem was that most of my APPs were grayed-out. So, I deleted each of the apps and reinstall them.
The Ipad is working great ... I can't explain it !!!! (only thing I can think of...I should have started to update with a full battery and/or with the charger plugged-in !

After upgrading to IOS 8 can't synch calendar

After upgrading to IOS 8 my calendar won't synch. If I accept an invitation on my phone I can see it on my phone but I have to accept if separeately on my PC. Then, if I delete it from my mail on my pc it removes it from my calendar on my phone. This is extremly frustrating. I have read the suggestions of turning phone on and off, doing the soft re-boot. Tried it all and nothing works.

That happens sometimes
What is the Other on my iPhone and How to Remove It
An "other" that large usually indicates that the "other" includes corrupted files.
First try:
"First you go settings/general/usage/music/then left swipe over music and press delete and you would think it deletes your music but it doesn't instead it deletes your other but make sure your ipod is connected to a computer while doing this"
as recommended by:
How do I get rid of "other" storage: Apple Support Communities
Next, usually restoring from backup eliminated the corrupted files. However, sometimes restoring to factory settings/new iPod is required.

iPad app no long works after upgrading to iOS 7.1.1

Did you try deleting then reinstalling the app? Sometimes developers will need to update their apps for compatibility. If it still doesn't work after reinstalling, wait a few days to see if an app update becomes available.

Hdmi adapter not working after upgrade to iOS 8

My Hdmi adapter (orig. Apple) is not working anymore after upgrade to iOS 8, is there any solution.

The IOS 8 update has nothing to do with the failure of the device. I have a HDMI adapter and it has worked fine through IOS 6, IOS 7 and IOS 8.
You may want to restart your device by holding the home and power button until the Apple logo appears. If the adapter still fails to work you need to determine if the adapter has failed or the port on your device has failed. Best solution is to go to the Apple store with the device and the adapter. If your adapter has failed it may be under warranty if you still have the sales receipt. If the port on your device is bad then the Apple store will be able to provide you with options.

IPhone Bluetooth not working after upgrading to iOS 6.1.2

I used to pair my iPhone with my Blue&Me system in my Fiat Car and it was working perfectly hitherto. Recently I have been experiencing problems with Pairing my phone with my car Bluetooth system (Which I sometimes use for receiving calls).. The phone though identifies the car system in the discovery mode but is not able to pair and establish connection. My car Bluetooth system is working just fine with other phones. Request apple / or anyone who can help to help me overcome this issue. My car system is as important to me as iPhone and if this problem persists, i may be forced to change my phone.

In the 4+ years of using iPhone and several other apple products, this is the first time that I am feeling frustrated with my iPhone 4S and Apple. I am surprised that so many people around the world are facing the problem with their blue tooth devices after upgrading the iOS and still there is no hope of having this situation resolved. The cause of breakage of communication between iPhone (my investment, my ownership) and other devices is of apple origin and apple can't walk away by suggesting that the other party should upgrade the Bluetooth Firmware.
In my case, My iPhone 4S stopped paring with My Fiat car blue&me system after updating to iOS 6.1.2. The problem has not been solved in iOS 6.1.3.
If this problem is not solved in next update the ovious solution is to move to android as I can change my phone but I can't change my car that eaisly.
