HT4623 Can I update 3 iPhones with the latest software update that are all on thr same iTunes account?
I kept all my iPhones after I upgrading to the latest one each time my 2 year contract was up so I have an iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4 & iPhone 4S. I actually still use all 3 phones for different purposes. My iphone 3gs is not activated, but I still use it for apps among other things when connected to wifi. My iphone 4 & 4s are both activated with 2 saparete phone numbers, but I have all 3 devices on the same iTunes account. I never noticed this to be a problem until just recently when I was thinking about selling one of my iphones since I'm now due to upgrade again to the iPhone 5. Well my problem is that when the latest iphone software update came available I noticed that all 3 iPhones had a notification letting me know that there was a new update available & I didn't want to update my iphone 4 & 4S until I had a recent back-up on my pc just incase anything went wrong like once before. Referring to the last time I updated my iphone 4s for some reason right in the middle of the update it lost connection. So I had to restore my entire phone from scratch & because I didn't check to make sure that had a recent back up right before I updated I ended up losing a lot of important information. So anyway since my iphone 3GS I knew had a recent back up & plus it doesn't have a lot of important information stored on it I chose to go ahead & update it first. Then later on when I went to update my other two iPhones I noticed the notification that was there before on all my phones to let me know the update was available was now gone & it would not give me the option to update either of my other two phones. I don't know if this is true or not, but I was later told that Apple will only let you download the free update software on only one device on each iTunes account & since I have all 3 devices on one itunes account I could only choose to update one. I didn't know this beforehand so I used the update on my 3GS which I barely use except to play with on wifi & now my other two iPhones which are the main ones I use are both activated now function very slow & constantly crash. Also if I was to choose to sale one of the iPhones without the latest software update on it does that mean that the new owner will not be able to get the latest update meaning the phone would be out of date without having that latest software installed? If anyone knows how to help me fix this or give some advice I would really appreciate!!
That's utter non-sense.
Just connect your 4 & 4S, iTunes running, & hit the "Check for Updates" button, or you can update directly on the phones(if running iOS 5.0 or higher): Settings>General>Software Update.
iOS 6.1.3 is the current iOS version for both phones.

I have not updated my iPhone 4 since the IOS 5.1 update. Can I now update it with the latest software even though I am missing other updates?
When going to your software updates on your device it will provide you with the latest available update for your device.
the iPhone 4 will update to iOS 7.0.4 provided all other updates the device is asking for has been completed.
Good luck friend. -
I'm using Iphone 5 .After updating it with the latest software i.e iOS 7.0.6 I'm not able to see the wats app and imsg on my notification center when my phone is locked until and unless i activate the "Show on Lock Screen" under each application. which was not same as in the earlier software version.I dnt want my messages or watsapp msges to be displayed on home screen when locked but should be displayed on the notification center on lock condition.
Please suggest a solution or @Apple please get a software release which can remove this bug .We aren't Apple, just users like you. Have you tried a reset? Hold down the home button along with the sleep/wake button until the screen goes black and you see the Apple, then let go. (No data loss)

After updating with the latest software, when trying to edit a photo, it disappears (black screen) or screen is full of lines. If I blindly crop or edit the photo, when I exit edit mode, those changes have been made, but obviously this is unacceptable. Is this a bug with the latest software update?
There are several possible causes for the Black Screen issue
1. Permissions in the Library: Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Include the option to check and repair permissions.
2. Minor Database corruption: Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild.
3. A Damaged Photo: Select one of the affected photos in the iPhoto Window and right click on it. From the resulting menu select 'Show File (or 'Show Original File' if that's available). (On iPhoto 11 this option is under the File -> Reveal in Finder.) Will the file open in Preview? If not then the file is damaged. Time to restore from your back up.
4. A corrupted iPhoto Cache: Trash the com.apple.iPhoto folder from HD/Users/Your Name/ Library/ Caches...
5. A corrupted preference file: Trash the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder. (Remember you'll need to reset your User options afterwards. These include minor settings like the window colour and so on. Note: If you've moved your library you'll need to point iPhoto at it again.)
If none of these help: As a Test:
Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'

Why can I not make calls on my iphone with the new software update (sprint)
I'm not able to make calls for hours at a time or recieve text messages on my iPhone 4S. This has all started happening after I updated to the new software. HELP?!
Hello Ciddy14,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities!
First, if you have not already, I would restart the iPhone then try again.
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.
After the device has turned off, press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
From: iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting

If the issue persists, I would next try the troubleshooting in this article:
OS: Troubleshooting Siri
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4079
And if the issue still persists, I would then backup and restore your phone to iTunes.

Take care,

My Macbook Air is totally unresposive once it is turned on. It has 256 GB of flash memory. No mouse cursor; the keyboard has no effect. Running the battery down and then plugging in does not fix this. What can I do to get the Air back?
Have you tried to recover your Mac?
Boot and hold Cmd-R until the recovery screen appears. Follow the prompts. This will reinstall everything over the internet - you do not need any installation media.
You do have a backup of your data, right? -
Trying to update iphone with the new software. being told cannot do adn to check network settings
Trying to update iphone. getting an error message to check network settings. I dont know what to do. have wireless router.
This is asked and answered every day, several times. The forum search bar is on the right side of this page.
Disable your firewall/seurity software and try again. -
I also have wifi-matic app which should keep this from happening, but stopped doing so with the upgrade.
Check sleep mode to be sure Wi-fi is off. Shut down your wifi matic app, clear system cache and do a soft reset of your device. power phone on and reset your personal settings. go into Wi-fi and do your setup again.

Current iTunes message: iTunes has detected an iPhone in recovery mode. You must restore this iPhone before it can be used with iTunes.
Thanks, it's working. I was concerned to restore, as I didn't see my backed-up phone appearing as an option prior to launching the restore.

Why wasn't Father's Day recognized as a holiday on the calendar? It's one day after flag day in June.......REALLY, don't fathers matter at all? I guess the world is like my household, fathers don't matter unless we miss a day of work!
I had to double check why people would report it missing if it isn't. I just returned from the Apple Store and Father's Day is missing from their iPads running IOS 7.1.1. too. I guess the why will remain one of life's many mysteries.

Installation failed (both iLife 11 and the latest software update)
Hi!
Today I tried to install the new iLife 11 and update my system again with the latest software update (including the Java fot Mac OS X 10.6 update 3 and ProKit Update). With both installations I get an error message during the installation.
I have no clue what it is about and how to solve it. I made some screenshots but can't seem to upload them here. The error message is in Dutch, so it might not be correctly translated. I get this error message with the update: 'None of the selected updates could be installed, an unexpected error/mistake has occurred'.
With the installation I also get an error while trying to install it. This occurs during the installation says it is configuring. After that is says that the installation has failed. 'During the installation some mistakes has occurred. Please start the installation again.'
I tried rebooting and repairing disc permissions etc.
How can this be solved?
Message was edited by: eriktiekstraI have a little update...
During the software update it says the following: 'waiting until other installations are finished'
Thing is I am not installing anything. I have just rebooted the computer and only started Safari and the software update. That's it...
Anyone? -

I have just synced my iphone 5, and downloaded/updates it to the latest software update which was available, but now it wants me to restore my phone to factory settings???? Why this time, it hasn't ever asked asked me to do this before? Is it safe?
restore to factory settings mean deleting everything you put on the phone making it as it were when it was shipped from the factory

HT6114 why does macbook pro restart with the latest software?
Why does macbook pro block and restart with the latest software update?
Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
In the Console window, look under the heading DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION on the left for crash or panic reports. If you don't see that heading, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
A crash report has a name that begins with the name of the crashed process and ends in ".crash". It may be under either of the two subcategories, "System" and "User." A panic report has a name that begins with "Kernel" and ends in ".panic".
Select the most recent of each and post the entire contents — the text, please, not a screenshot. In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.)
Please don’t post any other kind of diagnostic report, such as a hang log — they're very long and not helpful.
