I am currently running iOS 5 on my iphone 4S, is there any issue with the battery life if I update my phone software to iOS 6?

I need help on this matter, this is the only thing that is keeping me from installing iOS 6. Also, how can I save my data, apps and other stuff that I already installed on iOS5? Also, if I create another apple ID, will my data, apps etc be lost, do I have to download the stuff again? Help me out!!

Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
Device not recognized in iTunes for OSX
Until the issue with iTunes recognizing the device is resolved, there is no way to update it.

Perhaps something in Apple's support article on troubleshooting problems with WiFi connections will help:

If you're using a PowerPC Mac, no.
If you're using an Intel Mac, phone the online Apple Store and order a Mac OS X 10.6 DVD.

How does one continue to use Mail on the early MacBook Pro, Model 1,1, that is not upgradable to Lion? I have been running iCloud on my iPhone (OS5) and iMac (Lion) along with the MacBook Pro (OS Version 10.6.8)

How does one continue to use Mail on the early MacBook Pro, Model 1,1, that is not upgradable to Lion? I have been running iCloud on my iPhone (OS5) and iMac (Lion) along with the MacBook Pro (OS Version 10.6.8) since November until now. Mail will no longer download on the MacBook Pro and keeps asking for my password.

Mail should still be usable with your machine - but you'll need to update the settings to conform to the requirements of your system. Check with your ISP (like ATT, etc.) for the settings that will work with your Mail. Once you've updated this, you should be able to email like before.
For example, my ISP required that I go to Mail Preferences/Accounts and make sure the details conform to your email settings.
I have no idea of what your ISP is or what the settings might be, but this is likely the source of the problem.

HT4060 Is it possible to over charge an iPad/iPhone ie charge it regularly before battery runs down as I have heard that charging too frequently damages the battery life? Thanks

No. That is not a problem for the battery.

I just bought my first iphone. I am so disappointed in the battery life on the iphone5. Have the phones always been this way? Is there anything in the works to improve the battery life?

I just bought my first iphone. I am so disappointed in the battery life of the iphone 5. Is this the norm for iphones? Are they working on a fix to this problem? Almost wishing I had bought something else.

Without knowing what battery life you are seeing we can't determine if you have a problem. Have you compared your usage to the Technical Specifications?
Talk time: Up to 8 hours on 3G
Standby time: Up to 225 hours
Internet use: Up to 8 hours on 3G, up to 8 hours on LTE, up to 10 hours on Wi-Fi
Video playback: Up to 10 hours
Audio playback: Up to 40 hours
Under normal use, unless there's a problem with your phone, battery life is comparable to any other smart phone and better than some. If you've never owned a smart phone before you will be disappointed with the battery life on all smart phones. You should expect to charge any of them daily. It's a mistake to think of it as a phone at all; it's a very powerful pocket-sized computer that can also make phone calls.

How do I get my personal laptop to connect to my Personal Hotspot on my IPhone 4S after I downloaded IOS6? The laptop connected before I updated my phone. Now it does not.

Do iphone 5 s have any issues with overheating or signal drop out

Is there any issue with iphone 6 64gb storage?

Is there any issue with iphone 6 64gb storage?

Not sure why you would be led to believe that has anything to do with storage.
Try a reset: Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the device shuts down. Ignore the off slider if it appears. Once shut down is complete, if it doesn't restart on it own, turn the device back on using the On button. In some cases it also helps to double click the Home button and close all apps BEFORE doing the reset.

HT1296 Since I downloaded iOS 7, my iPhone is constantly turning itself off and the battery useage is twice what it used to be. I want iOS 6 back! How do I uninstall iOS 7?

I downloaded iOS 7.0.2, and now my iPhone 5 keeps turning itself off and the battery useage is twice what it was. I want iOS 6 back! How do I uninstall iOS 7?>

So, after it charged and was still plugged in, I deleted the Exchange account and then reset it holding down the sleep wake buttons until the apple logo appeared. I also changed the limit on my emails to 3 days instead of 1 week. It turned on, so I turned it off and let it charge overnight. This morning, it stayed on for 3 whole hours and then shut itself off again. I had to try 5 times to get it to come back on. Now, a message appeared that Exchange cannot verify a server, I can't see the full name of the server anymore, but it is *.hotmail.com GlobalSign Root CA from Microsoft. So I'm selecting Accept to see what happens. I'm very discouraged, I need my phone to be reliable for my work. It was reliable for 11 months without one problem, and now since I downloaded iOS 7, it hasn't been on for one full day since.

Bought a new iPhone 4s and dissapointed with the battery life (5.0.1)

Hi guys, I'm new to this forums and to an iPhone... I've bought my first iPhone 2 days ago (an iPhone 4s) and I must admit, the battery life simply *****! It's unbeliavable, typing a status and checking facebook drains 2% of my battery, this is just insane. I was glad to find out that I'm not the only one with this problem. I researched online and saw all of Apple customers complaint about it, and realised that Apple didn't really care as much until the media kicked in.
So yesterday I've downloaded the new 5.0.1 update, because Apple promised to fix the battery life issue, however I found no sing of battery improvement what so ever (my Location Services and Time Zone are both set to OFF). I think they've released this update in order to shut us up for a little bit, because Apple knows that it's not a bug BUT a hardware problem!
I hope Apple can come up with an idea to fix this problem a.s.a.p. or they're going to lose a lot of customers. I'm starting to slowly regret from not buying phones like BlackBerry 9900 Bold, Samsung Galaxy S2 or the new HTC. I'm so dissapointed in the battery life...
What do you think guys?

Did you already try to set up your phone as new device?

Are there any issues with updating to IOS 5.0.1

I have a brand new IPad 2 and I see there is an OS update available. I see there are issues with some IPhones, but I'm wondering if there is any reason not to update the OS on my IPad?

I haven't had any issues, although posts in this forum show some have. To upgrade to iOS5 you need to have your iPad connected to your computer. Once iOS5 is installed, further iOS updates can be installed via WiFi connection.
You can download a complete iPad 2 User Guide here: http://manuals.info.apple.com/en/ipad_user_guide.pdf

TS1702 Has anyone had any issues with the app scramble with friends after updating to iOS 6. The touch screen is not responding properly when selecting the tiles but worked fine before the update

Has anyone had an issue with the app scramble with friends after upgrading to iOS 6. Tapping the screen will not select the tiles and hold them.

Yes I am having the same problem. I can't find any info about it and nothing seems to help. I am just posting this in hope that if it's a wider problem, there will be a quick solution.

Does playing heavy-graphic games on iphone 5 until it's hot reduce the battery life?? plz answer :)

so yea , does doing that gradually damage the battery of the iphone 5 and overtime curtail the battery life and lifespan?? I play fifa 13 on my iphone 5 for lengthened periods until I can feel it get hot almost every day. Is doing that actually harmful to the iphone battery and its lifespan?? im curious becuz before I've seen on the apple battery care web page that heat is the factor that will degrade battery performance the fastest on idevices, so Im just afraid concerned. plz answer

Batteries have an expected number of charge cycles before they degrade and you begin to experience diminished battery life. While heat is a factor that will afect this, overall the number of charge cycles the battery has will remain fairly constant.
You will find if you are using the phone the way you are you would be charging the battery more often and it is this increase in the number of charge cycles that would be shortening the battery life. Does that sort of answer your question?

I am currently running iOS 5 on my iphone 4S, is there any issue with the battery life if I update my phone software to iOS 6?
