Has anyone with a 3gs upgraded to iOS 6 without issue?

All I see below are a stream of issues people have had. Is that the norm or are others actually having success. No sense in upgrading if it will brick my phone.

No issues here. My iPhone 3GS, which I purchased new in July 2009 upgraded from iOS 5.1.1 to iOS 6.0 with zero issues. Battery life is great (I replaced the battery this past June 2012 as it was only getting ~3 hours 3G use rather than ~5 hours it did new.) The GUI is more or less just as snappy as it always was. All in all iOS 6.0 is just as good as 5.1.1 in my old 3GS.

Has anyone with the ECPD Profile error been able to order successfully yet?

Has anyone with the ECPD Profile error been able to order successfully yet?

If the error is in fact due to the employee discount Verizon dropped the ball here big time. I never was able to get past the ECPD error when upgrading my device tried for90minutes. I did the new customer and it went through without a hitch but i would have to change my phone number....not good!! Decided to give it one last shot on Apple Store App and was able to have the iPhone 6 Plus silver 16GB reserved...got a reservation number since they were having issues connecting to verizon. So happy!! Been month to month over 2 years waiting on the 6!!! If you don't care to change your number go as a new customer or use apple store app. Good luck and good night!
Verizon this is no way to treat your existing customers!!

Has anyone with Windows successfully set up "Accounts" disk file sharing?

I bought an Airport Extreme basestation (the one with Wifi-N and gigabit ethernet)a few days ago and set it up on the network.
So far the wifi part has been nice - the range and speed (and stability) are a lot better than the Belkin draft-N wifi I had been using.
I've also been able to share a few FAT-32 USB disks (Iomega brand) using the "with device password" option and it seems to work nicely in this mode.
But what I really want to do is setup access by the "with a disk password" and via "accounts" - but after several hours of troubleshooting and checking on the Internet, I get the impression that neither work.
For example, when I am sharing the disks in Device mode, I can connect to the IP from windows explorer and access using any user name and the device password. This works great.
When I set it to "Disk" mode - it doesn't work at all - no matter what user name and password are used. I tried using both the disk and device password. I get a windows error "... is not accessible. You might not have permission to use this network resource..." which is consistent with the user and password authentication failure. I have the same experience when setting the disk sharing for "Account" mode.
Repeated rebooting of the Airport Extreme and Laptop did not help at all. I also tried after killing the Airport utility/assistant that sits in the task bar as it seems useless. The results are the same with the utility activated or not.
A few more details:
I have the Airport Extreme in 'bridge' mode - the IP is generated by a broadband router connected to a cable modem. I updated the firmware from the 7.2.1 that came installed to the latest (7.3.2).
I read on the Internet a number of posts from both Mac and Windows users reporting bugs in the security software on the airport for filesharing. So my question is - has anyone with a Windows (XP, vista, etc) gotten the file sharing to work with anything other than Device mode? Eg. Disk mode, Account mode, etc?
I know several people that use these devices, but nobody is using in this mode. I talked 2 friends to try setting up users and they couldn't get it to work either. But it's not a big deal to them since they don't use that feature.
If anyone is using it like this, I'd like to know how you set it up. If you had this problem and what you did to fix it. Thanks!

I suspect I may never know why, but now, inexplicably, everything is working.
Out of curiosity, I tried to connect via an older win2000 machine that we use for a file server and it worked!
After we rebooted the other XP machines, they started working too.
I'm sure the fix was anything but connecting a win2000 machine, but I'm just happy it works now!

With the new upgrade to iOS 7 for the iPhone, is there anyway to change the background on the calendar?

With the new upgrade to iOS 7 for the iPhone, is there anyway to change the color background on the calendar?

There are, however, lots of calendar apps in the App Store. They will used th same data as th built in app and sync just the same way. Many of them are quite customizable or, at least have different backgrounds. Some that I like are Week Cal, Fantastical, Cal, Tempo.
Best of luck.

HT1688 Has anyone experienced the 3GS phone exploding when turned off?

Has anyone experienced the 3GS phone exploding when turned off and not in use after a period of time? Is so, what did you do to get it replaced?

I haven't, but thanks for asking.
Bring your phone to Apple for replacement. If you're in the warranty period, the replacement will be free; if not you will pay $149.

My mother is visually impaired but can easily play scrabble, bridge, crib on my ipad. Has anyone with a vision issue experienced these same games as easily on the ipad mini?

My mother is visually impaired but can easily play scrabble, bridge, crib on my ipad. Has anyone with a vision issue experienced these same games as easily on the ipad mini? Would prefer to buy the smaller one if she can read it successfully.

Thanks jared,
I'm still dealing with this issue through Apple. Some time after I posted this, I contacted Apple again. They did start a case up for me, as I was experiencing the same behavior on two different machines, with two different versions of Windows.
So far it remains unsolved. I've logged iClouds for Windows on my desktop, which is brand new, then logged for awhile after completely uninstalling Norton Security Suite, depending on the Microsoft security for some time, and finally logged after I uninstalled iCloud for Windows, restarted, installed a clean download, and connected using a completely different test account, which Apple set up for me. None of this made any difference. Looking at the logs, it seems every 10 minutes, iCloudServices.exe creates a new TCP connection to confirm I'm using less than 5GB on iCloud, (which I am by a good margin, using less than 2GB), it seems this connection is not closed, and when the next iteration rolls around 10 minutes later, a new TCP connection is created. I come very close to having 6 TCP connections created per hour, until I restart my computer. This works out to... 6 x 24 = 144/day.
Perhaps the article you posted will shed some further light on this. I'm thinking seeing the state of the connection through netstats, at the least, could help.
For the last week, I've been putting a hold on further logging, as Apple wants me to create a new user account on one of my computers, install iCloud for Windows there, and log it running in the other account. This however basically means I cannot use my computer for a fair number of hours, and I've been busy enough with work the past week that I haven't the time or energy to afford to set this up and run it. I've had need of my computers too much for the past week.

Has anyone with a whinning MacBook got it replaced with a silent one?

Has anyone with a whinning MacBook got it replaced with a silent one?
or
Has anyone got the CPU whine fixed at Apple?

I had a whining week 12 MacBook Pro. I exchanged it at the Apple Store for another week 12 MacBook Pro (they didn't have any week 13 models).
The second week 12 MacBook whined far louder than the first. Also, unlike the first MacBook which whined only on battery power, the second MacBook whined on both A/C and battery. Moreover, it was unstable (something I did not experience with the first MacBook) and prone to kernel panics.
I returned the second MacBook. I was offered a week 13, but I asked for my money back instead.
I'm currently waiting to see what Apple says about this issue before ordering again.

Has anyone with sprint have time/date issues as well as imessage function automatically turning itself off?

has anyone with sprint had time/date issues as well as imessage function automatically turn itself off?

Im having the same problem, I updated my Iphone 4S to 6.1.3, shortly after that my phone had no audio. It was working fine one minute and then stopped. Was listening to music when sound gave out on me. It wont ring, phone just vibrates even after turning off vibration option. I've tried all the options listed and nothing. My phone has never been jailbroken either. If I connect the earphones is works perfectly. On one of my last calls received, phone's ringtone was heard for about 2 seconds before muting and just vibrating. Ringtone sounded perfect, speakers did not sound damaged.
What else could be done? I've read several post regarding this and it seems like Apple has no solution to this yet. Very dissappointed.

Has anyone maxed out their storage since iOS 7 update forces download of all email?

Has anyone maxed out their storage since iOS 7 update forces download of all email? I'm on my way to that end. I will have to delete my email accounts. Apple told me to do so and just use the providers' apps instead of iPhone accounts. This pretty much renders my smartphone useless. Not to mention I no longer like using my phone since this awful update. Not as intuitive or fun!

(A) Reset iPad
Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears
(B) Make sure sound is not muted in Control Center; tap on the little bell. Swipe upwards from bottom of screen to launch Control Center

Has anyone with a version 4 had the front camera stop working?

Has anyone with a version 4 iPad had the front camera stop working? If so how did you get it to work again?

Have you tried restarting or resetting your iPad?
Restart: Press On/Off button until the Slide to Power Off slider appears, select Slide to Power Off and, after the iPad shuts down, then press the On/Off button until the Apple logo appears.
Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10 seconds). Ignore the "Slide to power off"
If you have an iPad 4 it is still under warranty. If the front camera is still not working call Apple Support for replacement.

Has anyone had a sim failure after iOS 6 upgrade

My iPad 3rd gen seemed to get hot yesterday and then the sim reported unable to initialise. Now I get invalid sim and no mobile comms. Anyone else had this problem? Upgraded to iOS 6 last week.

No, my SIM is fine.
Perhaps you should try reseating your SIM.

3Gs upgrade to iOS 5

I still have a 3Gs and planning to upgrade to iOS 5, are there any major issues with the upgrades for 3GS?

The system runs really slow. Safari runs really slow. You can type something and it will appear a few seconds later. Even the sound is delayed. Screen gets fuzzy for a couple of seconds when you zoom in. My advise is wait to upgrade.

Trouble with activation after upgrading to iOS 7.0

This is ridiculous. Still having trouble with activating my phone after upgrading to iOS 7.0. How does Apple expect us to make / receive phone calls???

It may take a while becuse millions of people are doing it at the same time. Patience young grasshopper. Try restarting the phone and then try activating again. It took mine a good long time before the activation completed successfully

Has anyone with a 3gs upgraded to iOS 6 without issue?
