I have the iphone 3GS and when I recently updated the software to 5.0, the phone has been slower and is messing up now, how do I fix this?
I have synced it several times and nothing changes. I'm afraid to restore it because last time it deleted everything on there, even when I updated it, Everything was deleted and I always back it up. But now the internet is slow and it just loads and loads and it froze a one point, I've turned it off then back on, still nothing.
There are several ways to get iOS on your phone.
In iOS 5.0+, go to Settings<General<Software Update
Connect your phone to iTunes and select "Check for Update". It should prompt you for 5.1
Google for a direct copy of iOS 5.1 for your phone and download it to your computer (it is downloaded from Apple servers, so don't worry about voiding warranty). Restore your phone as normal and hold down Shift (Windows) or Alt (Mac) when clicking restore to specifiy which iOS build you're putting on your phone. You would want to use the 5.1 file you downloaded)
Can you specify the error given?

Since updating my iPad 2 to ios8, it safari has been slow and crashing and some of the apps acting wierd. The password app doesn't work at all so had to find another way of retrieving all my passwords. Very very dissapointing. It appears from these forums that a lot of people are having the same problems wit this latest update.
Hi erastyle,
Actually the Licensing information for the package is missing hence it is not launching any applications. You need to Reserialize the products using APTEE which you can find it on the Machine where you have created the package. If you dont have the access to that Machine then please download and install Creative Cloud Packager and it will download APTEE in the below mentioned location.
Windows:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\OOBE\PDApp\CCP\utilities
Once downloaded please follow this KB article to use the Tool.

Please let us know if it helps.

My email messages often disappear after I read them without me deleting them. I have the option on mail settings clicked that states "do not delete with asking". Why is this happening and how can I correct it. When I return to read the email again, it is gone.

There is no such option in the mail settings.
Who is your email provider? Is it a POP or IMAP account? So you also have a computer set up to access that email account? If so, if the mail client on the computer is set to use the POP3 protocol, it may be deleting the mail from the server as it downloads it. That is the default behavior with POP3. -

I begun updating by the iPhone itself, then it asked to connect to iTunes, but at the end - after tried to restore the firmware it does not restore (id error 29). I've just replaced the battery, there is something linked with this?

The recent IOs 7.1 has been slow and unstable on both my iPad and iPhone, is there a fix?
The recent IOs 7.1 has been slow and unstable on both my iPad and iPhone, is there a fix? It is very slow, e.g copy and paste from a browser.
iPhone 5 & iPad gen 4I restarted my phone as suggested and it is still happening.
My phone just blacks out at its own will as if the battery went dead then the apple logo appears and it restarts on it's own but my battery was still at 30% when it restarted. So that made no sense. When I try to type in my password it freezes up before I can get all of the characters in. I still hear the clicks of my tapping on the keyboard but nothing is changing on the screen. When I hit the enter button on accident it vibrated to tell me my password was incorrect but still the screen was frozen with my previous entry of the first 5 characters on the screen.
I am becoming concerned that I may have a very expensive paperweight now.
My husband has the same phone and his is working fine after the initial reboot. -

my ipod 4g was working fine until i locked the screen but when i tried to turn it back on the screen stays black and its been 3 days. Does anyone know how i could fix this?
- Charge the iPod for half an hour. Then reset the iPod:
Reset iPod touch: Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- if still not working, connect to your computer. If iTunes sees the iPod, restore the iPod.
- If still problem, place the iPod in recovery mode and then try to restore the iPod. For recovery mod see:
iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore -

My youngest erased all content and settings on my iphone 4s (prepaid) and now it says it is not activated.I still have my account and number,but it says phone number unknown now.How do i fix this?.
If you haven't already tried, see if you can force it into recovery mode to restore it:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808. If that doesn't work, the last thing you can try is to put it in DFU mode to restore it: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2648467?threadID=2648467&tstart=0. -
I'm selling my iPhone 3GS so I set it back to factory settings. I cannot unlock the phone, all it says is "connect to iTunes". How do I fix this?
Once you get it going you need to make sure you do the following so that you can sell the phone.
Turn off imessage in settings/messages
Turn off Facetime in settings/Facetime
Delete icloud account in settings/ilcoud
Erase all data and settings in settings/general/reset
Delete the phone from your profile in https://supportprofile.apple.com -

I lost my iPhone recently. It has since disappeared from support profile. Does this suggest that the phone has been restored and synced with another account?
