Do I have to upgrade? I'm still on iOS 5.1.1
My phone still works fine with iOS 5.1.1. The only problem is that some apps seem to require 6 or 7 now. With all of the negative discussions out there, I'd be fine sticking with 5. Should I upgrade just to be able to use a few new apps? Am I missing out on some positives of iOS 7 that I am not aware of?
Noverator,
Superb question. And while we recommend moving to the newest version of iOS 7 for app functionality and device optimization, it's definitely don't something we want to force. But if you would like to learn about some of the benefits, check this out http://bit.ly/bOQC84 .

I have recently upgraded my iPad 2 to iOS 7 and I have lost 3 app icons. The apps still appear in settings, so I can't reinstall the app as they're already there. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling via an iTunes sync, but it hasn't helped. The 3 apps are bbc iplayer, itv player and sky go.
Can anyone help please?Have you checked to see if the Apps have been placed in an App folder?
Try swiping down from the middle of the screen so the search bar appears. Type the name of the App and if the App appears it is indeed on your phone.
You could also try restarting your device by holding the power and home button until the Apple logo appears. -
On the same wifi network, third generation ipad, iphone4s and MacBook Pro work just fine. The ipad mini often can not connect with the mail server and seems to hang a long time trying to open a web page. Had I known the mini had this kind of difficulty on wifi, I would have reconsidered my purchase. I have tried resetting the network and renewing the lease on the mini in addition. To completing the most current iOS upgrade. Still poor wifi performance. Unacceptable, in my opinion.
Yes I tried this manyfold. But did not work. Reading on, I took Tesserac's advice. Shut down router and computer.
Start router after 15 minutes and wait another 10 minutes before starting the computer.
Et voila.... everything is back in working order,

Annoying glitches since IOS 8 + the update have rendered my iPad Air nearly unusable.....way too frustrating & annoying with many glitches plus some functions just go way too slow or even worse - don't kick in at all.....necessitating a reboot.....(especially with sending emails.....need to power down / power up to get emails to be sent way too often)......stopped by the apple store the other day.....they did their "thing" ( a reset + whatever)......told me I was now good to go & all problems should have been solved / fixed......was in a rush, so didn't really test the fix until later in the day.....same problems remained....no fix whatsoever.....
some videos in various "formats" won't play now......keyboard disappears while doing almost every "google" search.....the list of glitches goes on & on.....apple & I part ways now unless this is resolved soon.....will stop by the store one more time over the weekend & give them 1 more chance....& will "test" it in the store this time before believing whatever they say & leaving......also, never happened before - an incoming facetime call was never received the other day......my friend sent a screenshot of her history of calls to show that she tried when I said that I had not missed any calls...... -
I have fist gen iPad. Still running iOS 5.1.1 When I attempt to update via usual mens I get response that it's up to date which is untrue. I've tried to update via the Pad itself and via iTunes with the same response on both. How do I get the updated iOS?
Just because you don't have the latest software means your ipad is unusable. Many times you can still download older versions of the apps. Check Texas Mac Man's answer from yesterday for some possible solutions,
Is there a version of Pages I can download for ios5.1.1? -
No one can hear me after upgrading my iphone 4 to IOS 5.1
i have just upgraded my iphone 4 to IOS 5.1 and since then no one can hear me during phone calls, i thought may be the mic went down, but it works fine during voice notes and vid recording!!!!! any one know how to solve this issue!
I had the same issues with my iPhone 4. No one can hear me on the call. Skype and other Apps using microphone works fine. I just turned off the bluetooth and this fixed the issue for me. I am not sure if this will help you but sharing this if someone gets a hit with this.

I have recently upgraded to OSX 10.8.2 and now find that I cannot operate my scanner, an hp psc 1310 series printer/scanner. I get a message saying that Power PC is no longer supported. I am still able to print on the same device. What should I do?
Hi,
PSC 1315 no longer supported for scanning since Mac OS X v10.5 or while using any newer OS, there is no scan software provided by either HP or Apple (Image Capture)
You may find this information stated below for Leopard, the same apply for any newer OS version:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c01234231&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en &os=219&product=374568&sw_lang=
Image capture will not recognize your device as well, only print is supported as you may find listed for teh PSC 1310 Series below:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3669#HP
Although there is no official scanning support for your device you may still try the 3rd party VueScan software which list your scanner as supported and compatible with Mountain Lion:

HELP!
Since i upgraded my iphone 4s to iOS 6.0, i can no longer watch or view my Movies or Video's in my Music Playlist. I can still view them in my Videos which is not in orderly manner or arragement like i wanted unlike in the Playlist. There is some sort of restrictions i guess. I already checked the Allow All Movies but still the videos does'nt appear. What should I do?
Please HELP ME.
Thank you very much.Similar problem here. My Ical refuses to edit or delete events. Viewing is possible, though sometimes the whole screen turns grey. Adding new events from mail is still possible. The task-pane completely disappeared. My local apple technic-centre messed about with disk utility for a bit and than told me to reinstall leopard. I could of course do that, but it seems to me that reinstalling Leopard just to fix iCal events is a bit invasive.
I tried also tried removing everything, installing a new copy of iCal from the leopard-cd, software updates, all to no avail.
At the moment I'm open to all suggestions that do not include a complete leopard reinstall. -

I have recently moved all of my files to a larger external hard drive, but when I am reminder of an itunes upgrade it's still attempting to go to the old drive. How can I change the settings so it automatically goes to my new hard drive?

I have Garageband version 4.1.2 (248.7) installed on my early 2008 IMAC 10.5.8. I have never upgraded. If I upgrade my operating system to the next level (10.6?) will my GB version still work? I have a LOT of projects involved and hope they will transfer. Can I (and should I) upgrade GB at the same time and how far should I go with that without causing a problem with my projects? What would I gain if I upgrade GB? Thanks!

v4 is pretty lonh in the tooth now, and GB only costs $15, so I'd think it's a good idea

the only version you can buy new is v6,a nd it should open older projects without issue ... however you could keep 4 around:

I have just upgraded to 10.6.7, and was browing the App. Store, I selected a product by mistake and it started to download, I cancelled the download, but it still registers in my purchases list, have I purchased that appl.? and how can I cancel the purchase in my purchases list?
I think that as soon as you click "Buy" and type in your details, the iTunes server is alerted that you have bought the item, even if it hasn't downloaded. Your "purchased" list is based on your account and not your computer so I'm afraid even if you haven't completed the download, you will be charged for it (but if you do now download it, you won't be charged again). This also means that you can't remove items from the purchased list.
Glad to be of help (I hope),

I have xcode 4.3.2 and iOS simulator Version 5.1 (272.21). But this course is on iOS 6. If I upgrade my iOS from 5.1 to 6.0 then do I have to upgrade my Xcode also? So my question is all my old Xcode project which I have tried with Xcode 4.3.2 will be still there because I do not want to destroy them.
I have a MacBook Pro (Software Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5 (11G63b). Please let me know about upgrading iOS version so that I will be able to do the class project.To program for iOS 6, you need iOS 6 SDK. You need to download Xcode 4.5.x. But don't worry. All your previous projects are still alive and you are able to open them in the new Xcode.
