Anyone else having battery issues since updating to iOS 7?
After updating my iPhone 4S to iOS7, I noticed a horrible drain on my battery! From 100% to 62% in less than two hours... I have tried shutting off Bluetooth and even disabling refreshing background apps, and have my screen brightness set at less than 45% but it is still draining fast... Is anyone else having this problem and does anyone have any idea why?
Okay it seems I was right.
After I originaly posted here I unplugged my phone and let it drain to about 30% before charging it back up to full. I went home and my 5 year old son and I played on it, including an pretty memory intensive human anatomy app for kids -- sometimges plugged in, sometimes not. Used it A LOT last night, playing with settings, cheking out the new auto update feature, notifications, etc. I didn't end up turning any of the new features off in settings, and even enabled a few new features. Then, as usual, I plugged it in when I went to bed and let it run a clock/alarm program (Rise) all night.
This morning I drove to work (about 20 minutes) with turn-by-turn navigation running and a podcast playing in the background -- not plugged in to power. When I got to work the battery showed 98%. Leaving the phone unplugged, I have been playing that video podast for half an hour -- with a pause for a phone call set up by Siri -- and battery is currently showing 93%.
I think it's going to be okay. Everybody breathe.

Hello, jld1956.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
I see you are having an issue with the Facebook application. I would first start with forcing all open applications to close and restart the device. If the issue persists, try the troubleshooting steps in the article below. You also may want to reach out to the developer of the application as well.

Have anyone been having messaging problems since updating to iOS 6?
Since updating my iPhone 4 to iOS 6 i could no longer send pictures to those who did not have an iPhone. Also I can only send pictures to other iPhone users thru iMessage. Another thing, when my iMessage is turned on it send iMessage text from my email address (Apple ID) instead of from my phone number.

I notice a lot of you started having battery issues after updating to iOS 6....
I'm not saying this could be the reason but I'm about 98% sure it has something to do with it. I have an iPhone 4S and when I first got it, I remember the display was very very bright... i would set it on low and it was still pretty bright. Battery consumption was horrible, I could literally sit there stare at the screen and see the battery percentage drop. Then when some kind of update was released about a month later iOS 4.XX something along the lines... that suppose to fix the issue. I updated my phone and it was fixed. However, it was fixed because my phone got more dimmed.. i could max out the brightness and it was still no where near the brightness of before. And this cause my battery life to be better. However after I updated to iOS 6 the brightness came back, and my battery is rapidly decreasing like it did before. So i'm guessing this had something to do with the battery issues. I'm hope this will help you all. to make your battery last longer, dim your phone, better for your eyes too
I, on the other hand, had no brightness issues on the 4S after upgrading to iOS 6, and no change in (good) battery life. If could be something else, an app or background process that is less efficient with iOS 6? Could be anything.

My iphone 4 will no longer register my wall charger while on.. It WILL charge if turned off.. OR, if I plug it in to my laptop while on. Tried any different cords and plugs, all the same result.. REALLY REALLY frustrating!!
- While charging try resetting the iPod:
Reset iPod touch: Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Next try restoring the iPod via iTunes. First from backup and if still problem restore to factory defaults/new iPod.
- However, I really think that the iPod has a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order. If defective Apple should give you a refurbished iPod. -

After updating my 4S to iOS 5.1.1 last night, none of my data applications are working today, nor Siri, iMessage or anything of the like. I'm at a loss as to what might have caused it. Is anyone else having this issue/has anyone found a fix? Everything seems to work fine if I connect to wireless, but if I'm not connected to it then nothing is working. My service provider says everything should be working fine, I still have the 3G symbol and full bars.
Somebody clearly hasn't read the User Guide.
Basic troubleshooting steps are retart, reset, restore from backup, restore as NEW.
If you have tried ALL of these steps and you're still having problems, then you need to bring your phone into Apple for evaluation. -

I received an Keynote update notice on my Mac Air. I updated and now can not get into my saved keynote docs. I am being asked to upgrade again and purchase the upgrade. Anyone else having this issue?
Try this repair, ensure you complete all the tasks and in the order shown:
1 delete all the iWork applications if you have them, not just Keynote, use Appcleaner from Mac Update to do this, its freeware
2 restart the Mac; Apple menu > restart
3 immediately after the start chime, press the shift key until you see the Apple symbol.
let it fully boot up, it will take longer as the OS is repairing the drive
4 when fully booted, go to Applications > Utilities > Disc Utility; click on the boot drive then First Aid tab and click repair disc permissions
5 when complete, restart the Mac normally
6 install Keynote from the Mac App Store
Please report back to let us know if this helped.
