I have a jail broken iPhone4 with iOS 5.0.1. What happens if I automatically update to ios6? I'm afraid of my phone becoming a brick.
I'm really scared of my iPhone becoming useless and my software being completely messed up. A friend said he was upgrading my phone, but he was jail breaking it. I don't want this. I don't use jail broken apps or anything. I just want my phone in top working order with ios6. Can someone please tell me how to do this without messing everything up?
Hope it does restore. Too many report that the effects of JB are never fully cleared.
My grumpy opinion is you may be owed a new phone.

Sorry, you can't. There's no way to locate your phone other than physically looking for it.

Little hard to understand what you are asking. Let me guess that this not an Iphone4S issue. Its a problem with your service provider. Contact them.

Every time I open the app injustice my iPod gives me a message that says: " Warning, this device is not officially supported. You may experience low performance and instability." I have never jail broken my iPod and I don't know what's wrong. Ideas?

Contact the developer/go to their support site if only one app.

I have a brand new ipad with iOS 6.1.3 and an imac with OS 10.5.8. I cannot update my OS on this machine, but want to sync the new ipad. What can I do?
If it's an Intel Mac, you can upgrade it to Mac OS X 10.6.8.
If it's a PowerPC Mac, you need to use these instructions and/or iTunes Match to put content on the iPad.

I have a First Gen IPad with IOS 4.3.2. It let's me manage my music and videos together in playlists. Need a larger capacity IPAD, that allows me to manage playlists the same way. Need direction or help!
Can't seem to find an IPAD that let's me control my playlists together...or let's me organize my videos (Karaoke) the way I want to. Can someone help or direct me?
Can't even find the old IPad for sale...I have a MB292LL with 4.3.2 (8H7)Here is a hint, google:
ipad video playlists
Found:
This discusses some options.
iOS 7 took away the ability to play videos continuously.
Two stand-alone apps.
https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/video-playlist-manager-lite/id399302583?mt=8
https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/joobik-video-playlist-player/id502325425?mt=8
There was a hint of relabeling your videos to music video so you can use the itunes video playlists.
I have not tried this. -
I updated my ipad1 thru iTunes from 4.2.1 to 4.3.5 and now having issues, especially playing videos. Anything I should know. I have not jail broken my iPad and don't want to.
you update it by connecting it to a computer running itunes and starting itunes up on the computer clicking on it in devices and clicking on the update button in the content menu
if it say you have the latests then it's because you don't own an iphone 3gs but an iphone 3g where the version 4.2.1 was the last released
in that case you can't ever update it

Craig,
Your analogy is excellent! Perfectly captures the opinion I have heard from many. The reason that I have encouraged you to update is because really I, personally, have never experienced an issue with an update, and neither has my signifiant other. Call us lucky! I will not lie to you and say that that means that all updates are going to flawless -- far from it. Many people, as you described, find themselves in the exact situation described by your analogy, and they take to the internet to describe and outline these problems. It is unfortunate that iOS 8 has been such a buggy release for so many, and disheartening that Apple has not yet found a solution for some of these major bugs.
I do ask you to remember though that most of what you find when looking for opinions on iOS 8 will be people having problems with their device -- those whose update went through perfectly have no reason to question it, and thus it can make it seem like everyone writing on iOS 8 is having a problem. There is most definitely a large amount of people with problems after the update, but most likely an equally large amount of people who did not have problems and simply didn't post about it.
My significant other is not a heavy user. She uses her phone an average amount, but she most definitely does not rely on it as much as you have outlined above. I do not want to deceive you into thinking that just because she had no problems that means that you will not encounter any either. To answer your question, she updated about a week after each release of iOS 8 (iOS 8.1, iOS 8.1.2, etc.)
I also do not want you to think that I am a completely neutral party either. I am a fan of Apple, I will admit to that, but trust that I try to speak from as unbiased a position as I possibly can.
As far as your concerns with Apple go, I hear you. Many people would agree with you. Apple markets itself with the concept of flawlessly functioning devices, and that means that for some, when issues do occur, it is even more than just a bug because they bought the device on the promise of it flawlessly functioning. Yes, the functioning factor is part of the reason behind the higher prices of Apple products, but remember you also get a one year hardware warranty and over the phone assistance, access to the Apple Store and Genius Bar (both of which have excellent customer service, a fact that is widely agreed upon), as well as features such as iCloud storage. Widespread bugs like the ones that have occurred with iOS 8 are uncharacteristic of Apple, but in the end they will make mistakes, it is how they fix them that characterizes the company.
From everything that you have stated, here is my solution for you: If your phone works right now, it works. It will continue to work if you do not update, that is guaranteed. What is not guaranteed is that if you update, the phone will function even better. Both you and I are aware that iOS 8 has caused just as many issues as it has resolved -- updating here is a gamble, if you rely on your phone as much as I am thinking you do, it is probably better to take the safer route that guarantees the phone will work. Keep in mind, iOS 8.2 is right around the corner. More bug fixes may be introduced, and that may be a better time to update.
You bring up some excellent points. In the end, this decision is all up to you. I'm just a guy on the internet with some strong opinions!

Hi, thanks for your time: cannot find in itunes anymore how to delete pictures on my stoneold ipad :-)- somehow not finding "pics" in the menu. I have a quite old ipad with ios 5.1.1. Thanks a lot for your help.
How did the photos get onto the iPad ? If they were taken with the iPad, copied onto it via the camera connection kit, or saved from emails/websites etc then they can be deleted directly in the iPad's Photos app - either via the trashcan icon in the top right corner if viewing the photo in full screen, or via the icon of the box with the arrow coming out of it in thumbnail view. You should also be able to delete them as part of importing them to a computer : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083
If they were synced from a computer then connect the iPad to your computer and select it on the left-hand sidebar (with iTunes 11, option-command-S on a Mac will enabled the sidebar, control-S on a PC), and on the right-hand side of the iTunes screen use the Photos tab to de-select the albums/folders that you want to remove and apply/sync that selection. If you want to remove all synced photos then try selecting and syncing just an empty folder. -

you can update over the air with strong wireless signal, or by connecting to a computer running iTunes. Either works well. If you do the update over the air, be sure and attach your iPhone to a wall outlet so you have a solid power supply and don't risk the battery dying during the update.
The iTunes approach installs a much larger file because of the connection, but if you have not updated since 5.1 that might be a better approach...replace the entire operating system instead of patching.
Either way, backup the iPhone yourself just for your own protection in the off-chance something should go wrong...a little paranoia while updating is a good thing -
