Connection problems after updating to iOS 5

Hello everyone,
I updated my iPhone 4 (bought it in June '10) to iOS5 a week ago like everyone else. Ever since then, I've been experiencing problems with pretty much anything that requires a data connection. It won't send messages, log in to Facebook or other communities or find any websites. I have to switch the phone off and back on and then it'll work for a while. Usually, the problem starts after I haven't the phone for 15 minutes or more. It just happened and when I checked the connections, I had full connection (five bars + 3G) to my phone provider and full connection to my wifi as well. Still, iMessage said my messages couldn't be sent, it didn't download new emails and Whatsapp Messenger wouldn't even connect. So far, I haven't experienced any problems with the phone connection, can make calls and haven't been told I couldn't be reached, so I think it's safe to assume the phone connection isn't part of the problem.
There weren't any problems while updating the phone and I haven't dropped it or anything since then. The only thing I noticed was that when setting it to auto-sync via iCloud, it slowed down my internet, so I switched that feature back off. Do you think this has caused the problem? Any suggestions to what I should do?

How long does the "waiting" message stay there? Does it eventually go away and the app loads or does it stay that way permanently?
The app store is temporarily being overwhelmed by purchasers of the new iPad trying to get apps onto their devices. This might be a reason for a long wait. But eventually you should be able to get the app if the extra use is causing the problem.
Did you try a reboot of your iPad? Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the iPad restart. See if that fixes your problem.
You might also have something else waiting to download that is causing the problem. Something like a podcast. Check all apps that download regularly to see if this is the case and delete those or terminate their download.
Have you deleted those apps that are waiting? Do that and then retry them on at a time.
Hope this helps.

  • Iphone 5 back camera problem after update to IOS 8. Focus doesn't work on back camera!

    My device is Iphone 5 64gb IOS 8.
    I have problem after update to IOS 8. When i run camera.. I hear some scratch inside my phone. And focus of back camera doesn't work.
    1. How can i fix it?
    2. Or how to rollback to IOS 7+ ?
    3. Should i come to app store with this problem?

    I'm having this same problem too.  Worked fine prior to iOS update.  I contacted Verizon this morning who advised that this is a known issue.  They suggested I backup my device, and perform a factory data reset.  When prompted to update to iOS 8 again, re-installation has been known to resolve the issue.  With all the problems with iOS 8, camera, and overall device slowing, I might just wait for a follow on SW turn.

    Force close the App Store app and reset the iPad. No data will be lost when you reset the device.
    In order to close apps, you have to drag the app up from the multitasking display. Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the app that you want to close and then swipe "up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it.
    Next, reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

  • Logic Remote connectivity issues after updating to iOS 8 (solved!)

    Has anyone else has been experiencing connectivity issues with Logic Remote after updating to iOS 8?
    After updating to iOS 8 I could no longer connect so I sent a feedback report to Apple and got a response that cleared up my problem immediately:
    Navigate to the following directory on your desktop system running GarageBand:
    ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.garageband10/Data/Library/Preferences/
    You can quickly navigate there using the “Go” menu in Finder -> Go To Folder (shift-command-G), then copy this path:
    ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.garageband10/Data/Library/Preferences/
    In the Preferences folder should be a file named "com.apple.garageband10.cs”.
    Make sure GarageBand is not running and delete the  "com.apple.garageband10.cs” file.
    Relaunch GarageBand and see if you should now be able to connect.
    The same can be done for Logic by navigating to:
    ~/Library/Preferences/
    And deleting "com.apple.logic.pro.cs" and restarting Logic.
    Note that doing this will fix Logic Remote connectivity issues (and possibly other problems with latency and mixer functionality)  but will also delete any other Controller settings that you've configured with Logic, if you happen to be using another controller of some sort.

    Thanks very much!  This solved my connection problem.

  • SMS problem after update to iOS 7

    Hello,
    i have problem with SMS on my iPhone 5S. After update to iOS 7, sometimes SMS messages cannot be sent. I tested sending SMS to various contacts, none of them does not work. Mobile signal from mobile operator is good, imessages are working, telephone is working. Situation will improves itself in one hour after this. One possible solution is restart iPhone. Please help. Thank you!

    I made it. I tried to restore, reset network settings, etc... no change. Whats your opinion on reclamation od iPhone, its possible in this case? I don´t know, how i can demonstrate problem in service, when is very random.

  • Does any-one experience wifi connection problems after update to ios5?

    Since the update to IOS5 I have to do all my internet seaches via 3G network, since my iphone 3gs does not pick up the router anymore. All other devices still work with wifi, so it's not the router itself. Only the iphone does not recognize/connect anymore to my router or any other wireless network (I tried at university network and open city networks as well....)
    I thought the update to ios 5.0.1 would have solved this problem as well (since it is obviously software related...my wifi worked perfectly under ios4) but it seems things have not improved at all.
    Any-one else with this problem, or a solution?
    Jeroen
    PS: yes, i have re-set the iphone and the network connections in my iphone already.....

    Yes, after upgrading to 5.01 (I skipped 5.0) my iPhone 3G and iPad 1 have both lost the ability to connect to wi-fi networks even though they see them. I get a generic "unable to join the netwwork "name""). I have reset the devices, etc. This might explain why my iPhone battery life went from 2-3 days to less than a day now as the device is constantly trying to join my known networks but to no avail. No solution found yet. This is an Apple problem.

  • Problem after updating to iOS 8.1 on my iPod touch 5th gen

    I just want to report to Apple that after updating my iPod Touch 5th Generation to iOS 8.1, my iPod just shuts down by itself from time to time.  The only way you can turn it on is by pressing the top right button and the home button at the same time.  You can't turn it back on anymore by just pressing the top right button or by charging it like I used to.  Is this one of the bugs that Apple needs to fix?  Am I the only one who have this problem??

    Try:
    - Restore from backup. See:                                               
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
      - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

    Try a Restart. 
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red "slide to power off" slider appears, and then slide the slider. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
     Resetting your settings
    You can also try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your device settings again.... All of the settings in the settings app will have to be re-entered. You won't lose any data, but it takes time to enter all of the settings again.
    Resetting your device
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Apple recommends this only if you are unable to restart it.
    Or if this doesn't work and nobody else on the blog doesn't have a better idea you can contact Apple. 
    Here is a link to their contacts with most of the information below.

  • Problems after updating to iOS 6

    After upgrating to iOS 6 I can't connect to the internet by cellular - only by WiFi. I have tried to take out and put in the SIM card again etc. without any result. Does anybody know what to do? Thanks

    Hello,
    For me, this update 6.1 on my iPhone 5 is a disaster!
    Battery drains like an hourglass! And worst of all, the battery will discharge even during the night while my iPhone 5 is plugged in! Probably once 100% charged, the battery no longer holds charge.
    Toaday, I just go home with a battery to 85%. Two hours later, without touching my phone (without notification or push or anything!) Battery fall down to 60%!
    The worst is that I anticipated this trouble by restoring my iPhone to install full version 6.1 directly from iTunes!
    So, I do not know what else to do! I am not sure a new restore improve things.
    I reset network settings on the iPhone, uncheck all applications potentially consuming battery, but no improvement!

  • Iphone 4 bluetooth connectivity problems since updating to ios 5.01

    My wife and I both have an Iphone 4 through verizon.  I updated my ios to 5.01.  Hers is still 4.3.10.  Since updating mine the bluetooth feature have gone crazy.  When I get in my truck (2008 Nissan Frontier) it just continually connects and disconnects with the built in blue tooth system in that vehicle.  I cannot make or take a call on the system it just keeps dropping the connection then re-connecting.  Funny thing is my wife's phone doesn't have this problem.  It connects and functions normally.
    I wanted to just roll back ios 5.0.1 but I've found out you aren't allowed to do that.  Nissan has no updates for their bluetooth system either.
    I have gone the extreme of completely wiping out my iphone and re-installing everything fresh and that has done nothing.  I have also tried completely deleting all the phone saved in the truck's system and re-setting them up and that too has done nothing to fix the problem.
    Anyone have a suggestion?  I have to think that there is something in ios 5.0.1 that is messed up with bluetooth.

    Interesting discussion. I too am having connection issues with an original iPad. I have an olde' linksys wrt54gs router with a Linksys RE1000 wireless extender (repeater). I can connect to the router just fine when I'm in range but can't use the repeater signal on this iPad only. Even when I'm right on top of it. One thing that may have helped is changing from WPA2 to simple WPA encryption in the routers settings. So far (crosses fingers), it's working ok.

  • Having multiple problems after update to ios 5

    ok so this morning i updated to ios 5 everything work out fine, untill I pluged my phone back into the computer..
    First, My phone had over 14gb before and after the update, but when i pluged it in to sync now 13.8gb of that is used by other... then when i try to remove all my songs, apps, and photos, itunes says the are gone and my memory is free, but everything is still on my iphone. The reason why it pluged it in is to add two songs and i get (the iphone "name" can not be synce because i need 5.72gb of free space.) Been trying all day to fix these problems so i decided to do a restore and encountered another problem. About halfway in the restore it cuts off and says the iphone could not be restored. Not to sure if its itunes or the ios but i had no problem syncing my 3gs.....
    I really need help these problems, or is there a way i can downgrade to ios 4.3.5 and then try to update to ios 5 again.
    and my computer is windows 7 ultimate and everthing is up to date, just incase anyone needed to know.

    Jmeekman-
    I tried following your steps and had no problem, although I did not actually move or delete anything.  Selections stayed selected until I un-selected them.  None deselected themselves and the action buttons never grayed-out.  I am running iOS 5.
    The Mail App is one of the iPad's core Apps that you can not delete.  I could not find any way to re-install it other than to restore the iPad.
    One thing you can try is to reset (reboot) the iPad.  Hold both the Home and Sleep buttons for several seconds until the Apple logo appears.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" arrow.  The iPad will restart after a couple of minutes.  Resetting this way will not hurt anything, and sometimes clears up mysterious problems.

  • Headphone problem after updating to IOS 4.1

    After updating my 3GS to iOS4.1, I can not adjust sound volume through headphone any more? How to fix this problem?

    Replace the broken headset.
    Is it wired? bluetooth?
    What happens when you try to adjust the volume?
    Have you tried another headset to ensure the problem is with the device and not the headset?
