ALL messages deleted after IoS 6 Update

I backed up my 4s to my mac, and proceded to Update the software, after that I then restored it with the backup i just did.. I go into my phone and all messages are GONE.. Contacts, pictures still there. Can anyone help with this problem??

I have the same problem - after restoring TWICE, everything is there BUT the messages/iMessages/texts are not there - I am very disappointed as I have 3 years worth of messages there. I suspect that they are still there inside the phone (as it shows that I have 6gb of stuff - I worked out which apps etc accounts for at least 3gb but the other 2gb, I believe it's the Messages itself.
Apple: can you PLEASE advise us?

All messages deleted after reboot(N96)

I was playing music in the background and as occasionally happens the phone reboots when using the music player.
This time I was writing a SMS when the phone rebooted. When it had completed rebooting all messages were gone. Recieved/sent/saved messages. Only thing left were the delivery reports....
anyone else experienced this? and is it possible to get the messages back?
Phone: N96
No update available yet.

Lost all my music after iOS 8 update

Anyone else had this issue?
I did the update yesterday with 4.6GB of free space and today I have 44.5GB of free space... everything else looks fine, but all my music is gone. All I see when I go in the Music app is the stuff I purchased on iTunes over the years. It's accessible via iCloud too.
Thank you,
Frédéric
FYI, I'm using an iPhone 5 64GB (French iOS).

Hi Ramzee209,
I'm not at home right now... I guess I'll see later. I'm pretty sure my iTunes library is fine though... well, I sure hope so.
FYI, I usually sync my music manually (drag & drop).
Thanks for the reply.

All messages deleted after restart. iCloud recovery?

I was texting a friend then suddenly iMessage stopped working, I thought it was her phone so I got her to turn off WiFi, restart her phone etc, nothing worked, so I restarted my phone and when I turned it back on ALL my messages were deleted. I never delete any messages and haven't for years so this was a very big list some with sentimental value, especially in recent weeks with Christmas and New Years etc, I do have a backup from November but haven't backed up since because I have been travelling and left my primary machine at home. Does iCloud back up text messages? If so am I able to recover them that way?

Hi
Do you know if icloud actually backs up the sms?

Imessaging doesnt work after iOs 6 update, can't send or recieve messages. it isnt the wifi since everything else is working. have tried every solution possible. help?!

imessaging on ipod touch doesnt work after iOs 6 update, can't send or recieve messages. it isnt the wifi since everything else is working. have tried every solution possible. help?!

Short of a reset to factory settings I've found making sure iMessaging is not left minimised helps. It doesn't seem to keep its connection. So, by closing after each use this helps. I've been doing this since I logged out of iMessaging at least 1/2 doz times and even changed my apple id pw as this had ceased to be recognised. I get fewer send failures now and don't have an inactive send button so much. Having said this its all a bit of a work around as iMessaging isn't behaving as it once did. If over time not resolved will do factory reset. All the best.

My 3gs wont restore after ios 5 update. I have tried firmware restore and restore from backup, neither works. All I get is "iphone restore failed because backup session failed" Any ideas on how to make a successful restore with this ios 5 update?

My 3gs wont restore after ios 5 update. I have tried firmware restore and restore from backup, neither works. All I get is "iphone restore failed because backup session failed" Any ideas on how to make a successful restore with this ios 5 update?

I was having the same problem, I backed up my phone and then updated to iOS 5 and then it kept telling me it could not restore from my backup as it had failed. After reading a bunch of forums and posts and trying everything, I did manage to get it to work. I had tried the Time zone, creating a new computer user account, disabling anti-virus, etc.
It took a combination of things, one of which was disabling the anti-virus completely and copying the contents of the backup folder to my desktop and then deleting everything in the backup folder. Then I rebooted the PC, entirely disabled the anti-virus, copied the one backup I wanted to restore from the desktop to the backup folder and then trying to restore. Low and behold the phone said restoring from backup and I am back in business, so when in doubt, trying combining some of the fixes together.

Have you tried restarting or resetting your iPad?
Restart: Press On/Off button until the Slide to Power Off slider appears, select Slide to Power Off and, after the iPad shuts down, then press the On/Off button until the Apple logo appears.
Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10 seconds). Ignore the "Slide to power off".

After iOS 5 update my iCal shows all my registered Birthdays one day earlier. Can anybody help? thx

After iOS 5 update my iCal shows all my Birthdays one day earlier. Please help. thx

Same issue here. In searching through Apple Discussions site I see this has been happening for at least 5 years now were b-days can pop up 1 or even 2 days early. Really Apple? I am disappoint.

SMS messages not restored after iOS 7 update

Both my iPhone and iPad are displaying very small numbers of SMS messages following the iOS 7 update. There are more on the iPad but very few on the iPhone. Both were backed up via iTunes before the update. The update and backup were applied in Winodws 8 in case this is significant. I wondered if there might be an issue related to messages which don't relate to a listed contact as the ones I was particularly trying to find were connected to an unsaved contact. Any help or

Well it seems I can answer my own question. Messages was populated by my old messages once i started to use it. Strange as I wasn't aware of having backed up to iCloud, only iTunes. Anyway, all is fine now.

IPhone 3GS Audio Volume Decrease After iOS 5 Update

The Audio/Volume on my iPhone 3GS has Decrease SIGNIFICANTLY After iOS 5 Update. Oddly, the volume of the ring is fine, and as lout as it used to be, and as loud as all other audio should be, but when using any 3rd party applications, the volume output is significantly less (about 40% less) than it used to be.
I am NOT the only person to experience this problem. Apparently, the issue has been around since this past summer, when iOS was still being developed / tested. There is a post about someone experiencing the same issue, here:
http://modmyi.com/forums/general-iphone-chat/768919-ios-5-low-volume.html
And before you ask .. I did a language change and reset, and I am still experiencing the SAME issue.
Any help or advice with this problem would be greatly appreciated.
In advance, thank you.

I have a similar or related problem with iOS5/3GS and volume:

In my case I can hear nothing from the internal speakers although I can use headphones. The volume slider bar is unavailable unless I plug in headphones.

After ios 8 update ipad began to crash

after ios 8 update apps been crashing and ipad began rebooting by it self it use to do it when first updated to ios 7 until the bug fix update was sent out what to do

Similar problem too with iPad 2. After updating it just continues to search and won't connect to 3G (verizon). I spent 5 hours at the local apple store and they couldn't solve the problem. There was another person there too with the exact same problem with an iPad 2 and they couldn't fix it either.
After all of this time they had no solution except to buy a new iPad ....... unbelievable. The issue is not a coincidence and it is obviously due to the software update. Apple's arrogance to openly address and fix the issue is astounding. Very poor customer service for a company that is supposed to be so progressive.

Touch Screen unresponsive after iOS 8 update

My 1 year old 64GB iPhone 5 touch screen started to become unresponsive after iOS 8 update
It's not consistent. Touch screen functionality will seize whilst phone is being used for either answering calls, typing messges, surfing, gaming etc and won't become responsive until it is turned off and on again (via power button). Home button is functioning with no problems.
As the phone is now out of its warranty period I want to verify if it's the OS that's causing this or do I actually have a hardware issue.

I have the same issue. iPhone 5, 1 year-old, not even a scratch.
Sometimes my touch screen works, sometimes not. When it works, it is just for some seconds, then some phantom touches start to happen all over the screen, but specially, when i'm typing, it types z or m, when I try to type something in, and it receives it, it will act as z or m again....
If I switch off my screen and switch on again... sometimes it will work, sometimes it wont... veeery unstable.
I considered downgrading to 7.1.2 but since I heard it is ilegal I decided to wait for a new iOS release.... any suggestions? (already wiped it and the issue continued...)
Is it really not recommended to downgrade it and have my phone funcionalities back?

My iPod 5th gen is not turning on after iOS 8 update!

My iPod 5th gen is not turning on after iOS 8 update! Before this all happened, I noticed that my apps crashed unexpectedly, it was laggy, and it decides to reset on its own at times. I CAN'T charge or plug it into my computer. Also, my home button is sunk in but my sleep/wake button at the top is most definitely not. I know my iPod was not running out of battery and I did not even power it off. I am very disappointed but I really need it to turn on =/

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
Ignore the reset and when it says place the iPod in recovery mode
Place the iPod in recovery mode using one of these programs:
For PC
RecBoot: Easy Way to Put iPhone into Recovery Mode
or
http://joshuabailey1997.wordpress.com/2010/09/02/recboot-v1-3/
If necessary:
Download QTMLClient.dll & iTunesMobileDevice.dll for RecBoot
and
RecBoot tip
RecBoot may have problems on 64X windows, then try:
Tenorshare ReiBoot – Enter & Exit iPhone, iPad, iPod Recovery Mode with a Single Click
For MAC or PC
The Firmware Umbrella - TinyUmbrella
Installs blootware on PC too
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try another cable
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Weather not displaying in notification center after iOS 5 update not to mention the entire user interface is much more sluggish.

Weather not displaying in notification center after iOS 5 update not to mention the entire user interface is much more sluggish.

Okay, mine now works here is what I did.
plug in the iPhone, iPad etc
in iTunes select the phone or iPad
Under Summary uncheck "Sync with this....."
Under "Music" uncheck the "Sync Music"
Let it remove all the songs, dont worry it will come back no problems.
Once that is all done all the music on the phone or ipad should be gone.
Now check them both back on and everything should copy back onto it.
Working now !!!!!
