Damri Apple, iOS7 is failed, I want my iPhone back to iOS6!

iOS7 crashes my iPhone 4S frequently with no pattern. I can not use my phone normally, and missed several important calls.
Are there people bothered by similar problems?
Since Apple is not able to fix iOS7's failure at present, Apple should let users go back to the iOS6 if they want.
There is still a usable system in the world for my iPhone, iOS6.
Apple, let me UPgrade to iOS6! I just want my iPhone to be usable!

Other has beeen a problem for quite a while but I never had to resort to restoring the phone every two to three weeks. At this point "Other" is just the tip of the bug iceberg.
Music videos loaded on the iPhone would randomly show up with the iCloud icon indicating that they  were no longer on the phone even though they were. The cloud icon would appear next to many of the videos, and would randomly change to other videos upon closing and reopening the Videos app.
All the videos played fine in airplane mode so I know they were all actually on the phone and not streaming.
Opening the iPhone’s music library in iTunes would show many songs marked with a circle comprised of a dotted line to the left of the name indicating that (according to the Apple senior advisor I was speaking with at the time) the songs had not synced properly. Again, they played fine with Airplane mode enabled so the info was wrong.
Most recently, while I was keeping an eye on “Other”, I noticed I had 2.8 GB of “Other” in use and 6.5 GB free. I deleted an audio book and replaced it with another and did a Sync. Well, “Other” and “Books” (print, not audio, totaling about ~350 MB) vanished and I had over 19 GB free. As I hovered the pointer over “Audio”, “Video”, “Apps”, "Photos”, “Documents & Data” and “Free”, I added all the memory used per section and the total was about 67.5 GB. Pretty neat for a 64 GB phone. Needless to say I was very pleased to have been in a screen sharing session with Apple tech support when that happened.
I’ve also found one movie and three TV shows in the videos app that weren’t selected to sync to the phone. Incidentally, deleting them showed that they were stored in “Other”, not “Videos” at that time.
Then there’s random App crashes and the once or twice the phone restarted on its own. With Sync this iPhone over WiFi checked, it’s been a crapshoot if the iPhone would appear under Devices if the iPhone wasn’t connected by cable. Sometimes yes, sometimes no, no discernible pattern could be ascertained.
Naturally I tried *EVERY* troubleshooting step suggested by the Apple techs.
So I have very high hopes for iOS 7.1. I’ve been using iOS since the original version and iOS 7 is the buggiest version and the first version that required a full restore every two to three weeks as part of regular maintenance. It’s gotten on my nerves and I hope that at least some of the problems have been addressed.

  • MobileMe iDisk failed --- I want the iPhone as file storage

    At first, yes it is nice. But why I can't save pictures from iDisk to my photo app on the iPhone? Why I can't save files from iDisk on the iPhone?
    Why it isn't possible to use the iPhone as file storage? We are living in the year 2009. Since the first generation every iPod can be used as a mountable device.
    Why Apple let me not save files on my iPhone by using USB?
    I don't want to hack my iPhone for this feature. Wireless Apps are no solution for me?
    But i feel to forced to hack my iPhone. Thank you Apple.
    At last i want say.
    Apple please stop the paternalism of customers!

    You may not be able to save -- this is a sync service -- but you can use the app to mail the image or file to yourself and that would make it accessible. You could also mail from your desktop of course.
    The iPhone and iPod touch are not mountable and use a different OS from the other iPods. It is not a problem with the platform, it was a deliberate decision by Apple not to have this. You say that you do not want to use wifi solutions, but there are several effective solutions, like Air Sharing, Files (and Files Lite) and the recently released Documents to Go.
    If you feel that there is a feature that you would like on the iPhone, why not tell Apple, by using the Feeback pages provided for that purpose and not the users. You did read the conditions when you joined, didn't you?

  • All of my bookmarks in safari have disappeared instead I have bing, apple support, google. I want my bookmarks back how do I get them back?

    My ipad2 safari bookmarks have disappeared being replaced by the options of Bing, Google, Yahoo and apple support. How do I get all of my bookmarks back?  I have gone back to the history and found some of them but when I try to bookmark again they are not in the bookmarks. How do I go back to the original safari bookmarks?

    In iTunes, you should have the "sync Safari Bookmarks" box checked. If this is checked and the bookmarks still do not sync, then I'm not sure where the issue lies. Are your bookmarks still present on your computer Safari?

  • Sony XAV601BT MirroLink is a big fail,i want my money back

    I bought a Sony XAV 601BT car stereo hoping to use my phones navigation app with MirroLink. I have tried a Blackberry Curve ( which it said it supported). It did not work, and I switched to an android Gingerbread( HTC Explorer). Didnt work too. Now I have a Nexus 4 which of course doesnt work, with a message that says USB device unsupported. This is terrible is there anyphone it supports? What work aorunds do I have , firmware updates or anything on the stereo that can help ? 
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    WOW ! If only what I see on the box, was inside the stereo. You see, I have this beautiful box that my XAV-601BT came in. I look at it now and then with such hope and think. WOW ! Just imagine. I have that stereo installed in MY car, yet, it doesn't do half the ****** on the box. NO Telenav? Not in Canada. But, no big deal - I guess it doesn't work in the USA either. Sure looks pretty on the box. Then there's the iPhone support. Humm.. videos don't work. What? I NEED TO BUY a $30 CABLE to make it work?!  Didn't see that one coming. Dual USB? Yes. Don't try to have the TomTom and iPhone on a USB hub. Nope. Have to have the Iphone hanging out the front, with the video cable thing so it can ONLY play iTunes videos. Not youtube or any other Safari videos. ONLY itunes. You can get a USB thubdrive to play videos. That's nice. Oh, and then there's the issue that all kinds of people are having - sound. No sound. You have to switch to another source, wait for some sound, THEN go back to the other source and it works. No big deal. Well, not to SONY I guess. Because people have asked SONY to fix this. But from the Posts I've read, too bad. Well, shucks, I only paid like $1200 including installation (includes the Serius radio and a backup camera). Oh, my friend, no those aren't included. You're funny ! THOSE features are only on the outside of that pretty box. 

  • HT1414 There's no question IOS7 is advanced but the bright white back ground is a step backwards. It makes the iPhone harder to read.

    There's no question IOS7 is advanced but the bright white back ground is a step backwards. It makes the iPhone harder to read.
    In particular all photos or any slide show since the beginning of time have always had a black background. Not white. At the very least, the viewing of pictures should have a black back ground. I hope maybe you can introduce some gadgets or an upgrade that lets us choose something other than the bright white background. The accessibility option to inverse the video is awful. All your pics are negatives. I would hope you are hearing many similar comments and I look forward to an upgrade soon that gives us options to change that bright white.  If I could I would set my iPhone back to IOS6.
    The new IOS also kills your battery no matter it seems how many location services and other apps you disable.

  • "Apple Mobile Device" failed to start. itunes does not recognize my iPhone4.

    I decided it was time to resync the music on my iPhone since its been months. I begin the sync and after a minute or so, my iTunes suddenly does not recognize my iPhone and freezes. I honestly have no idea what happened but was undaunted.
    OS is MS Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit SP1
    Now, after trying:   
    - updating to iTunes 10.6.3, which stops installing after a popup saying "Service 'Apple Mobile Device' (Apple Mobile Device) failed to start. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services. With the options Abort Retry or Ignore. Retry does nothing. Ignore allows iTunes to install but it doesn't recognize my phone still which is all I care to use iTunes for.
    - uninstalling all iTunes, Apple, Quicktime, and Bonjour software, which was difficult to do since you have to follow a particular order or else they wont actually uninstall.
    - performing a registry clean using CC Cleaner
    - wiping my compter's apple related Temp files in app data..
    - restarting with a clean boot... updating all drivers.. updating windows..
    I am becoming quite daunted.
    I have done essentially every single thing I could find that might resolve this error. I restarted and tried again (this is the third or maybe four time) and it still will not install.
    I cannot get any third party software to recognize the phone either since I need that Apple Mobile Device. I could always sync my library with Spotify but that's cumbersome and makes me not like my beautiful iPhone.
    Any help would be AMAZING. I've run out of ideas.

    The link above is bad... that account has been suspended.
    Just an FYI, I'm running Windows 7 Professional 64-bit and had just downloaded Itunes 10.7 for this platform.
    Please know that I have NEVER plugged any Apple device into this great computer.
    I have the new Iphone 5 READY to plugin and in ANTICIPATION of installing that phone; I first wanted to start by installing Itunes without any hardware potentially messing up the works.
    I have the exact same problem as reported here and in about 100 places here at Apple.  Please note this system has never seen ANY of these apple applications including quicktime, Itunes, Bonjour, or anything else from Apple for that matter.
    So basically, I'm stuck.  I've read the articles at about 20 sites now and it looks like this is a SEVERE and widespread problem; however, I have yet to find a "real" solution.
    Any advise would be greatly appreciated.  I'm an IT/Telecom Expert and it took me 3 hours to get the Iphone 5 setup and working properly (mainly because of the screen not working sideways for 95% of the configuration options and being forced to fat finger settings) including everything working with Icloud hosted contacts, facebook, a few networks and getting my gmail out of the way (of Icloud and facebook) and finally getting everything rocking, only to hit the wall when it came to Itunes.  Kind of a drag if you ask me.  (I'm thinking the Samsung Galaxy III that I returned to get this thing might have been less grief; but I guess we'll see).
    Anyone with a real fix, please reply!  I could use the help BEFORE I try to plug this phone into my computer!
    Thanks!

  • TS1609 Service 'Apple Mobile Device' (Apple Mobile Device) failed to start.  Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services.

    I recently purchased an Iphone 3gs, and already have an itunes account...Itunes wont recognize my iphone...I have uninstalled and installed itunes 2 times and keep getting this error message.
    Service ‘Apple Mobile Device’ (Apple Mobile Device) failed to start.  Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services.
    How do I correct?

           I had the same problem but managed to fix it with Amy ; the apple advisor. Here are the steps!
    First of all, make sure you have the latest version of iTunes installed. You can download it from here. These instructions will NOT work for iTunes 8, 9 or 10 anymore. If you’re unsure, just uninstall iTunes then re-install with the latest files.
    Next, you need to manually copy the Mobile Device Support directory from a working machine to your Windows 7 computer. Luckily, I have conveniently provided these files for you. You can download them here:
    64-Bit iTunes 11.0.2: Please click here to download this directory for 64-bit Windows.
    32-Bit iTunes 11.0.2: Please click here to download this directory for 32-bit Windows.
    Once you download that file, you need to Unzip it to this directory. IMPORTANT: Make sure you unzip the CONTENTS of the zip file, don’t just copy over the zip file:
    32-Bit: Unzip to C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple
    64-Bit: Unzip to C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple
    There are a large number of files in that directory, so it may take a little time, please be patient.
    So, after unzipping, you should have a new folder “Mobile Device Support” in the Apple folder
    64-BIT ONLY STEP: If you have 32-bit Windows, skip this step. It seems that Apple has put the “Drivers” in a separate location (don’t know why). You will need to download the drivers separately. Please click here to download the files for 64-bit Windows.
    Once downloaded, you need to Unzip it to this directory. IMPORTANT: Make sure you unzip the CONTENTS of the zip file, don’t just copy over the zip file:
    Unzip to: C:\Program FIles\Common Files\Apple
    So, after unzipping, you should have a new folder “Mobile Device Support” in the Apple folder
    Next, we have to merge the registry entries that will install the Apple Mobile Device service.
    First, download the registry entries that I have provided for you here:
    64-bit iTunes 11.0.2: Click here to download the registry entries for 64-bit Windows.
    32-bit iTunes 11.0.2: Click here to download the registry entries for 32-bit Windows.
    After you download the registry entries ZIP file, unzip it to your desktop and double-click each to install it. Say “Yes” to any prompts or confirmations about adding it to the registry. There are 2 entries, make sure you click BOTH and add BOTH to the registry.
    Now, we need to install the correct driver for your iPhone / iTouch. Windows 7 incorrectly identifies the device  as a digital camera. To fix this:
    - Plug in your iPhone / iTouch (don’t have iTunes loaded at this time)
    - Go to Device Manager (Click Start, right-click Computer,  then click Properties. In the window that appears choose “Device Manager” on the left)
    - Scroll down and find “Apple iPod” or “Apple iPhone” or “Apple iTouch”. It will likely be under the “Portable Devices” category.IMPORTANT NOTE: If your device is already listed under “Universal serial Bus Controllers” and not Portable Devices, you can skip these steps and go to Step 7.
    -  Right-click the Apple device and choose “Update Driver Software…”
    - Choose “Browse my computer for driver software” in the window that appears
    -  It will ask you for a location; you want to Browse to this folder (location is the same in 32 and 64 bit Windows):
    32-bit and 64-bit: C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers
    - Click Next
    - It should find the driver for your device; let it install that driver
    Once you complete these steps, reboot your computer. Once you reboot everything should work exactly as expected!

  • Error 1920-Service 'Apple Mobile Device' failed to start.

    Hi,
    When ever I try to install the Apple Mobile Device Support this message shows up "Error 1920-Service 'Apple Mobile Device' failed to start. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services".  I have uninstalled itunes multiple times. I have tried only installing the Apple Moblie Devuce Support by doing the extract file from WinRaff. Nothing has worked. Could you please help me? I'm getting relly frusturated with this whole thing. All I want to do is download songs on to my i-pod.
    Thank You,
    Aleida H.

    I guess the short answer is don't try to pass MSI properties to the installer.
    I don't think this is anything your fellow users can help with, but you might want to file a report at Bug Reporter.

  • HT1926 Service Apple Mobile Device failed to start

    Hello, I tried to update my iTunes and was given an error message that something was missing. So I have uninstalled my iTunes and now when I try to reinstall it I am getting this message:
    Service 'Apple Mobile Device' (Apple Mobile Device) failed to start. Verify that you have sufficient priveleges to start system services.
    It then gives me the option to Abort, Retry, or Ignore. Nothing happens when I Retry. When I Ignore it says: iTunes was not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes. Error 7 (Windows error 126).
    I have run out of ideas on what else to try. Please help!

    Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services.
    I am trying to install it on my desktop.  I am also in Administrator mode.  My iTunes stopped working when I was notified that there was a new version of iTunes and would I like to download it. I said yes as always and it was unable to finish the update because of a
    runtime Error!
    Program: C:\program Files (x86)\iTunes\iTunes.exe
    R6034
    An application has made an attempt to load the C runtime library incorrectly.
    Please contace the application's suport team for more information.
    My iTunes stopped working at this time.  I thought I could delete iTunes and start over. This tactic did not work.
    Can anyone make sense of what I am saying and help me to get my iTunes back again?

    Try a more recent version of my advice. The "for older video cards version" may work when the default version doesn't.
    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
    The further information area has direct links to the current and recent builds in case you have problems downloading, need to revert to an older version or want to try the iTunes for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) release as a workaround for installation or performance issues, or compatibility with QuickTime or third party software.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there are also links to backup and recovery advice should it be needed.

    I'm trying to re-install itunes on my laptop & I am getting a message that has stopped the re-install & it says: "Service 'Apple Mobile Device" (Apple Mobile Device) failed to start. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services."  The diaglogue box gives me the options to abort, retry, or ignore; when I tried retry and ignore the re-install process stays stalled & the dialogue box comes back & I don't want to abort & start this all over to probably end up with the same issue; what does this mean & what do I do?

    Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
    Remove all of these items in the following order:
    iTunes
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
    Bonjour
    Apple Application Support
    Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
    The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
    Please note:
    Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.

  • Service 'Apple Mobile Device' failed to start

    Initially, I tried to update my current installed version of iTunes, but it gave me an error message during installation and didn't want to bother trying to figure that out, so I uninstalled and then downloaded the current version of iTunes.  During THAT installation, it is now giving me this message:
    Service 'Apple Mobile Device' (Apple Mobile Device) failed to start.  Verify that you have suffficient privileges to start system services.
    And then gives me the option to "abort," "retry," or "ignore."
    I have only one account on my computer, so that's not an issue.  I've tried clicking "retry" and I've tried clicking "ignore," both lead me to the same ending: it returns to the beginning of the installation process and I end up at the same spot.
    So my question is, what in the world is this "Apple Mobile Device" (is it my iPhone? It isn't connected at all right now to my computer, if that makes a difference) and what do I need to do to make this error message go away?

    Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates

  • Vista itunes not installed correctly.  Error 7.  Windows error 998.  Itunes helper not installed correctly.  Service Apple Mobile Device failed to start.  Insufficient privileges.

    OK, spent about 25 frustrating hours so far this weekend doing everything recommended on numerous threads here -- uninstalling and reinstalling itunes and all Apple items.  Help?
    I am using Windows Vista home premium.  After the last iTunes update to 12, it suddenly would not work.  I followed, to a T, all instructions to uninstall all Apples software, in the correct order, reboot, download the latest iTunes, run as administrator, plug in the iPhone 5S, let the driver install, and then finish.
    Along the way, I received the error that "Service 'Apple Mobile Device' (Apple Mobile Device) failed to start.  Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services."  I am the administrator and have privileges.  (I previously followed instructions from anther thread to change the read-only privileges for Apple folders, but to no avail.  I also deleted every file with the word Apple in it after I uninstalled everything.)  I did a retry and then an ignore during installation of the AMD error, which I have received 10 times.
    The other error I keep getting is:  "iTunesHelper was not installed correctly.  Please reinstall iTunes.  Error 7."  I have done that 20 times.
    Other frequent error:  "iTunes was not installed correctly.  Please reinstall iTunes.  Error 7 (Windows error 998)."
    I followed other threads suggestions to install Windows .NET versions 3.5 and 4.0.  No help.  I also looked for various specific Apple files in various folders for DLLs, etc.  Not present.  I have rebooted 50 times and tried different users on my home account as well.  Nothing.
    I also followed instructions to Manage my computer under "services."  Under Apple Mobile Device, the setting is for "automatic."  When I try to get it to "start," the error I receive is "Windows could not start the Apple Mobile Device on Local Computer.  Error 1053:  The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion."  (I followed previous thread instructions to use the CMD prompt to stop it.  That caused problems because the status was then "stopped," but I was able to restart it later once I figured that out -- but with the 1053 error again.)
    I think I've tried every suggestion in every thread for the four errors I keep getting (AMD failed to start; iTunesHelper Error 7; Windows error 998; and AMD Error 1053.)  I am fresh out of ideas and very frustrated.  I mostly want to make sure I don't lose my music and photos, which I was about to sync.
    The only other thing I see that is strange on my computer (which I discovered along the way) is that I cannot receive automatic windows updates and have not had an update since 2012.  My iTunes worked a month ago, so that was obviously not a show-stopper in the past, but perhaps there is a Vista update I need for iTunes 12?  I have service pack 2 for Vista.  I have followed all threads to try to set my windows to automatic update, but no joy there either.  It checks for updates and then fails.  I followed instructions and did run an installation to install windows automatic updates, but that doesn't work either.  I tried 10 times.  It runs and takes a while, but is never able to successfully update windows.  It says "checking for updates" for a while.  Then it dies.  My last update was 6/19/12 (failed) and it says the most recent check was 6/22/12, but I have tried 20 times on 10/31/14 and 11/1/14.
    When asked to "Install new Windows Update software" to check for updates, I have done so 10 times.  It downloads and installs, but never works.
    It's an old Dell desktop computer from 2006, and I'm using an iPhone 5S.  I am fresh out of ideas.  Anyone really smart here?
    Thanks.
    Tristan

    Upon latest reboot, I also received this error message:  "The application failed to initialize properly (0xc0000005).  Click OK to terminate the application."
    Then I got the iTunesHelper not installed correctly error again.
    Then the "Windows can't check for updates" error message.
    Then "Apple Push has stopped working."  Then a quick DEP error message that disappeared but said something about Apple Push being closed.
    I'm also getting denials of service logged by McAffee.  Not sure if I'm getting a virus/attack or not.
    Not sure if it's a problem with my old desktop machine, my Windows Vista updates, or iTunes, but I'm very frustrated and out of ideas to try.
    Thank you for your help!
    Tristan
