Had trouble with iPhone 2.0 upgrade? CHECK YOUR FILESYSTEM!!

I can't find my original post (deleted?), but when I tried to do the first 2.0 iPhone upgrade the day it came out (BIG MISTAKE), I had a lot of trouble. Thanks to an Apple support person who was kind enough to call me, I deleted a file per his suggestion, which made the backup finish to completion and I was happy.
Or so I thought...
Now, several weeks later, I (or rather our IT guy) has discovered that some of my iPhone backup files were corrupted, which has made a mess out of my Macbook Pro (10.4.11)'s file system. It was not fixable with Disk Utility (in the Utilities Folder of the Application Folder) and only partially fixable with Disk Warrior. Nothing appears to be wrong with the hardware (except that my video port was malfunctioning although that problem had started way before the upgrade.)
If you had trouble with the iPhone 2.0 upgrade, I strongly recommend you verify the integrity of your Mac Filesystem. If there's something wrong, you may need expert help in repairing your file system.

Wingstat,
It should still work fine. I have the original iPhone and Apple BT Headset purchased about a year ago. I upgraded to the new 2.0 software 2 weeks ago. BT Headset works fine.
There has always been the occasional incident when I couldn't get the 2 to pair. This was always solved by un-pairing then re-pairing the two manually. To do this:
With your BT Headset:
Press and hold the headset's button until you here the 4, rapid descending tones
Your headset is now off.
On iPhone:
Open SETTINGS, then GENERAL, then BLUETOOTH
Under DEVICES, tap on the iPhone Bluetooth Headset link and select UNPAIR.
Note: If your headset doesn't show up here... keep going...
Tap on the DEVICES link again to put iPhone in DISCOVERABLE MODE
Back to your Headset:
Click and hold the button again... when you hear 4 ascending tones, keep holding
Keep holding the button until you hear 5 rapid, short beeps
Release the button: you're in DISCOVERABLE MODE here too.
Back to your iPhone:
You should see the Headset appear on your DEVICES list.
It should pop up and ask for Pairing Code
Enter 0000 on the iPhone.
You should be all paired up for good now.

Has anyone had trouble with iPhone cloud backup

Hi,
Ever since I updated my 2 iPhone 4's and 2 iPhone 5s, none have had a successful cloud back up.
I lock the phones after requesting a manual "Back Up Now" and nothing....
On all four phones.
Anyone have a solution? Thanks.

Hi kban495,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If your phones are not backing up to iCloud, make sure all the following conditions from our troubleshooting article apply:
iCloud: Troubleshooting creating an iCloud backup
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3992
How do I make sure that my iOS device is backed up regularly?
To set your iOS device to back up automatically, go to Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup and turn on iCloud Backup. When iCloud Backup is turned on, iCloud automatically backs up your iOS device daily. This daily backup can occur only when the device meets all of these conditions:
The device is connected to a power source.
The device is connected to the Internet via Wi-Fi.
The device's screen is locked.
To back up your device manually:
Connect the device to a power source and make sure that you are also connected to the Internet via Wi-Fi.
Go to Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup and tap Back Up Now.
Regards,
Jeremy

I had trouble with a iTunes download. Two songs of an album were not complete. I contacted iTunes and yawl post the the download again. My iTunes now has the complete copies. The trouble is my iPhone will not accept/sync the complete copies. What up?

I had trouble with a iTunes download. Two songs of an album were not complete. I contacted iTunes and they redownloaded the tunes. My iTunes now has the complete copies. The trouble is my iPhone will not accept/sync the complete copies. It will only play the original incomplete copies of these songs. I've made new playlists and made sure I had the correct items checked to backup/sync. Still only the incomplete copies are played via the iPhone. What's up? What can I do to get to the iPhone to sync the correct version?

- Are you saying that they are not listed in your Purchased section?
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
- Are they listed in your Puchases history when you log into your account on your computer?
- Are they still available now for purchase? If not then you are out of luck
If they are still available and listed in your Puchase History then contact iTunes

TS1591 i just got an ihome system and had trouble with it connecting to my iPhone. I finally got it to work and now my itunes doesn't recognize my phone. My software is up to date on both my Mac and my iPhone and I have shut everything down and restarte

i just got an ihome system and had trouble with it connecting to my iPhone. I finally got it to work and now my itunes doesn't recognize my phone. My software is up to date on both my Mac and my iPhone and I have shut everything down and restarted. Does anyone have any other suggestions?

Let's try a standalone Apple Mobile Device Support install. It still might not install, but fingers crossed any error messages will give us a better idea of the underlying cause of why it's not installing under normal conditions.
Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR:
http://www.rarlab.com/
Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").
Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi (or AppleMobileDeviceSupport64.msi) to do a standalone AMDS install.
(If it offers you the choice to remove or repair, choose "Remove", and if the uninstall goes through successfully, see if you can reinstall by doubleclicking the AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi again.)
Does it install (or uninstall and then reinstall) properly for you? If so, can you get a normal iTunes install to go through properly now?
If instead you get an error message during the install (or uninstall), let us know what it says. (Precise text, please.)

Reception / Battery problems with iPhone 3GS after upgrading to iOS 4.2.1

There are major reception and battery problems with iPhone 3GS after upgrading to iOS 4.2.1.
I can not believe that Apple did not test this for major bugs like this one is.
I am a business user and can not effort to have bad reception. Apple wants to gain in the business clients... I never had this with my former BlackBerrys!
I need a reliable phone not a play thing like this is right now, it just needs it to work propely. And if a major bug like this comes along, fix it immediately. After the iPhone4 story, now this...incredible! Going back to my reliable BlackBerry! It just ain't reliable and takes forever to fix a problem.

I have the same issue after iOS 4.2.1 update. I am using iPhone 3GS officially unlocked by Apple. I tried using different SIM cards and both carriers show same problem when using phone in 3G mode. Phone falls back to EDGE mode showing 'E' from '3G' at start. I have reset the phone and rebooted several times and moved to different cell areas in the city just to verify the problem.
I had no such issues earlier. I also have Nokia E71 which shows full signal and has no such issues.
I have posted the bug on apple iphone feedback page. I hope they Apple will fix the problem and test the release properly on all models before releasing to public.

HELP. 3 years ago I purchased cs3. I had troubles with registering the serial number and used my university's suite instead, and (stupidly) did not sort it out. I am now wanting to subscribe to the online creative cloud with my cs3 discount. Is there any

HELP. 3 years ago I purchased cs3. I had troubles with registering the serial number and used my university's suite instead, and (stupidly) did not sort it out. I am now wanting to subscribe to the online creative cloud with my cs3 discount. Is there any way to find / prove that I had purchased cs3 and locate a serial number? On my Adobe account it does not show my purchase of cs3 (I am guessing because of the trouble with registering my serial number). I have moved house 3 times since the purchase and am unable to locate the packaging or disk. Is there any way to prove my purchase without any serial number or showing under my Adobe account? Please help! Thanks

The CS3 discount offer is only for retail online product, it does not include education or volume license purchases. Refer to Terms and Conditions | Adobe
To check whether you had retail CS3 purchase, we need proof of purchase as well as serial number, without which the issue can not be resolved.

I had firefox 3.6 which i had trouble with now i have installed 4.0....should i unstall the 3.6

i had trouble with the 3.6 and now installed 4.0....should i unstall the 3.6 now that i have 4.0........thx's

There is a correct way of doing it i.e. click Help | Check For Updates in 3.6.16
If on the other hand, you downloaded 4.0.1 from Mozilla.com and it's working, then you don't have to uninstall anything. The installation will have overwritten the necessary files, so there's nothing to uninstall.

Has anyone had trouble with their bluetooth headset? (even after pairing)

Has anyone had trouble with their bluetooth headset? I have a Motorola H700 that pairs with the iphone but takes about 10 seconds after i hit send for the connection between the phone and the headset to be established. I also get allot of static when the headset is more than 3 feet away from the phone. (this headset worked perfectly @ about 40' with a Motorola Razr I had)

Hi jmsemac,
I understand you are experiencing some issues with Bluetooth connections. I have linked to an article which provides some troubleshooting steps you may want to explore:

I've had trouble with my Macbook since the first month I bought it. I've replaced the hard drive 3 to 4 times. Now some programs won't work or shut off by itself. Is it possible to ask for a complete exchange of products?

I've had trouble with my Macbook since the first month I bought it. I've replaced the hard drive 3 to 4 times. Now some programs won't work or shut off by itself. Is it possible to ask for a complete exchange of products?

This may help you: http://store.apple.com/us/help/returns_refund
It would appear that you can ask for an exchange but it doesn't specify any time frame... Hopefully someone more knowledgeable can add to this.
By the way, if you've replaced the drive so many times, perhaps there's something else going on elsewhere.

Adobe really does have the worst customer service/tech support of any product I have ever experienced. It is so unfortunate.

Has anyone had trouble with Color Munki?

Has anyone had trouble with Color Munki calibration equipment on an iMac OSX 10.9.2?

I personally don't understand why X-Rite continues to sell this product. The software for it hasn't been updated since version 1.1.1 dated 10/13/2009, about a year after Snow Leopard's release. It's really not much of a surprise it doesn't work all that well in Mavericks.

I had trouble with my pc and now when I go to my library it shows all my music but it says the file cannot be found

I had trouble with my pc it had an invalid drive. After I repaired it, I went to my Itunes library where everything was listed, but when I tried to play music I got a message the file could not be located. Can I just plug in my ipod and sync it with the library to bring back the files.

Hi,
It means that the files are not stored on your hard drive anymore. So when you click on a song in iTunes, it comes up saying that it can't play the song. A file is missing. This means that when your hard drive crashed, you lost your data but iTunes some how kept you songs in iTunes. Sorry to have to say this, but it looks like you have to re-download every single song all over again.

Has anyone had trouble with photo albums after downloading a newer version of iPhoto?

Has anyone had trouble with photo albums and viewing photos after downloading a newer version of iPhoto?

I downloaded mountain lion and then iPhoto '11 in order to tap into iCloud capabilities with all of my devices. (My Mac was outdated in regards to operating platform to do this). After installing iPhoto 11, I had to repair and rebuild my library of photos. However, after doing this, all of my albums were jumbled and, while I can see the image thumbnail, when I click on the thumbnail, and error that looks like a black triangle and gray exclamation pops up as opposed to the larger hi def image I want to view.

Issues with iPhone 5 since upgrading to iOS 8

Hi, Just wondering if anyone else out there is having problems with iPhone 5 after upgrading to new software level? I noticed after install (seemed to go smoothly but slowly) that my phone now seems to have a hard time when I power the phone on. It seems to take forever, and sometimes have to hit the power and home buttons together to force the action. I realize this could be some other hardware issue, but it strange that it only started after the upgrade. Everything else seems to be normal after the initial difficulties, but it has never done this to me before. Any thoughts or ideas would be appreciated.

Also, phone freezes and will not answer incoming call when you swipe. Poor phone voice connections with constant dropped calls. It doesn't seem to recognize my 3G microcell
