I have recently updated my iPhone 4 with IOS6 and my passcode no longer works so I cannot access my phone at all. Help!

Last night I tried to update the software on my iPhone 4. It appeared to be successful and appeared to put contact info etc. back onto the phone. However, the phone seemed to stop responding properly to touch. This morning when I tried to access my phone the passcode was not working normally. At first it was still randomly letting me in (although not sure on what basis) but now it will not accept my passcode at all. Has anyone else encountered this problem? How do I solve? Thanks.

First, has your iPhone ever been hacked or jailbroken? If so, that may explain the behavior.
If not, and if you cannot get in using your passcode, try this:

HT201320 This last week, I updated my iPhone with iOS6 and now my Yahoo Mail no longer works. I've deleted and restored the account without fixing the problem. The iOS update did not effect my iPad. Anyone have a suggestion?

This last week (of 17 Sep 12) I updated my iPhone 4 to iOS 6 and now my Yahoo mail does not work. I keep getting a "Yahoo server busy" message. This problem has not effected the update to my iPad 3 - it works fine. In addition, I have deleted and added my Yahoo mail - same result. Looking for ideas on repairing the link between iOS 6 and Yahoo. Cheers

Same here, albeit with a 3G and both a work Exchange account and personal Gmail are out of action. Reentered my password on the Gmail to no avail.
Unfortunately it seems that increased success has come too fast to Apple, it's starting to display Microsoft-like behaviors, e.g., releasing stuff and letting the customers serve as the beta / guinea pigs.

Ever since updating my iphone to IOS6, my imessages are no longer working, its all regular text messages. is this something that has changed with the new update?

I can't figure out why my iMessages have stopped working since I updated my OS. Is this an effect of the new update? Thanks for any insight!

What 4.0.1 changes is the display of signal strength, which was much too optimistic in earlier versions of iOS. The actual signal strength has not changed, nor will it ever by a software update.
You cannot compare signal strength by how many bars are drawn. This is an interpretation of actual signal strength (which is expressed in deciBells) by the software. This software can change between revisions of software on the same device and most definitely is different between devices of different manufacturers.

TS1398 I have recently updated my iphone 5 to ios 6.0.2 but wi-fi is still slow. It takes a lot of time to download the files. But web browsing is OK. I have downloaded an app size 8 MB but it take around 15 minutes on my wifi. Please help Apple.

I couldn't find the edit button on my original post so I am posting an update here.
I have gone through more apps and have had good luck on all but one more. And it's not that the app doesn't work, I am talking about the Yahoo Weather app, It works fine, but when you swipe between cities the screen lags a bit and it sometimes doesn't move between pages the way it should. On iOS 7.1.2 it was smooth as butter but on iOS 8.0, not so much. I will post a note in the app store to let them know. I really like the Yahoo app better than the new stock app.
I have been going through my games and they all work fine. Angry Birds (Original and Stella), Canabalt, Minecraft, Bejeweled 2, Silly Walks, PopWords, Doodle Jump, Deep Green all seem to work just fine.
Starbucks app works as it should.
I will stop back again next week after I have had the weekend to play with it in detail and post my thoughts again.

I have recently updated m iPhone 4 which was not used since months. It has to be updated from5.1.4 to iOS 7.0.4 and it has taken more than 15 hours to get started. Plz help me. It took about 5 to 6 hrs to prepare for updating.

I am having this problem. At first with the new iPhone 5, and then with the iPad 2. I am not sure why this is happening.
My gut feeling is this is an iO6 issue and here's why -
The problem mainly occurs with apps. I have about 150 apps, and when I plugged in the phone, iTunes went to sync all of them. The process would hang up after about 20 - 30 apps were loaded onto the phone. I could tell where about the process hung up because the apps on the phone showed up as "waiting".
Then on the iPad 2 I plugged in to sync and saw there was a huge "Other" component in my storage. It required me to restore the iPad 2 from backup. With this restore the same issues occurred - putting the apps back on the iPad would hang up. The videos on the iPad also got stuck - maybe after about 10 hours of videos transfered iTunes crashed.
My solution has been to soft reset the device, restart Windows, and continue the process until it's complete. This is remarkably inefficient and time-intensive but everything works with patience.
I have been wondering if others have had these same problems.

Hey you all, I have recently updated me iPhone 5 to iOS 7.1 and I checked my reminders built in app, and it seems like everything I had in there was lost. I have tried many things, but none seems to work. I can no longer add in any remainders.

Have you failed to regularly backup the device to iTunes or iCloud? If so, the data is gone.
If there are backups, restore the most current one from prior to the data disappearing.

I have recently update to the OS Maverik and I use a projector with a mini display port adaptor to my MacBook Air, ever since the only thing that projects is my desktop picture. I cannot get it to project my school work that I need to teach my students.

You only get one download.
Did you fail to save them to your computer and back them up.

I have recently update my computer to mavericks and my hp c4380 does not scan any longer

Hello,
I have recently updated my computer to Maveriks and my HP C4380 does not any longer scan. How can I solve this issue?
Regards,
Jacques..

Thanks. Your suggestion is good but it does not allow me to scan multiple page documents and get a unique pdf file (I get as many files as there are pages in the document). With the HP scan software it was possible to do it but this software does not work any longer with Maveriks. I do hope that this problem will be solved as soon as possible.
Regards.
Jacques.

HT4972 I recently updated my iPHone to iOS5 and I worked o.k. Then I updated my wife's iPhone and instead of reloading all her data, it loaded my data: pictures, phone numbers, etc. Where is my wife's data and how do I re-load to her iPhone?

I recently updated my iPhone to iOS5 and it worked o.k. Then I updated my wife's iPhone and it loaded all my data (pictures, phone numbers, etc.) to her phone. All her data is gone. Is there a way that we can re-load her data?

If there is a backup somewhere that had her data you can restore that backup. Otherwise, all her data has been overwritten by yours.

Canon 1DX support was added to ACR in version 6.7, 7.1. An updated CS6 should be at level ACR 8.6. If your ACR is not at level 8.6 try using CS6 menu Help>Updates. If that does not install ACR 8.6 try downloading the ACR and DNG 8.6 converter and see if ACR 8.6 will install into your CS6.

Your phone is in recovery mode; connect it to a computer and use iTunes to restore it.

Sounds like their was some corruption that occured during the update. Have you tried connecting it to iTunes in recovery mode and restoring it from backup (or to factory settings if from a backup fails)? Use the instructions in this article to walk you through placing your device in recovery mode.
iOS: Unable to update or restore
Otherwise, try DFU mode.
