Intentionally not upgrading to the new software
I am intentionally not upgrading to the new software for my ipod touch since I have seen so many people having trouble with it on this website. Can someone tell me what features I am missing.
Thanks
What you are referring to is security patches that have to be released regularly by MS. I would take issue with your claim that very few of them cause issues, but to clarify they cause issues with some computers depending on the configuration. And then again some of them caused system wide problems and had to be retracted.
Firmware updates on iPods/iPhones are much more akin to Service Packs than security updates, but you are talking about different technologies, processors, etc.
Since buying my 4th Generation iPod I have installed many updates and I have yet to have an issue with any of them. I've also completed updates for people on Windows machines and again had no issues.

I've recently upgraded to the new software (5.1), since then the iTunes doesn't recognize my iphone, as the error comes up:' iTunes could not connect to this iPhone because an unknown error (ex8000022).
Are you guys facing the same problem?

I have a MacBook Retina, and it won't upgrade to the new software (OSX Maverics). It will begin to download, but then say it can't finish the download. What should i do to fix this problem?
Your problem is really with "Time Machine", backup software included with OS X since version 10.5, not with your Time Capsule router. For more information on Time Machine, check these Web pages:

I upgraded to OS8 for my Iphone 5 and now I have no access to e-mail and several apps. How can I address this problem? For those who have an iphone 5 I recommend not upgrading to the new OS until these bugs are resolved.
I foolishly downloaded OS8 on my iPhone 4S. It not only greyed out my wifi button making it impossiblr to use wifi, but bluetooth connection doesn't work either. I reset the phone to factory settings but that did nothing apart from loose all my photos and contacts. OS 8 was still on after too. Apple say it is a problem but the download only brought the fact the hardware was faulty to the fore, but not being under warranty , the repair would cost £166 that I would have to pay. Totally unacceptable. If the problem was known and they knew it would cause problems on older models, why have it bob up on iTUNES for download.
Don;t download it guys, APPLE aren't admitting culpability and it will cost you a fortune to put right!! -
My iPhone blacked out, and will not turn on. I did not update to the new software! So what is my Apple iPhone 5s problem?
A lot of issues with iPhones lately, maybe apple has an issue developing and implementing their inovations.Hi InUtero,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I can understand your frustration if your iPhone is not turning on as expected. The first thing I would suggest in this situation is a reset. Please use the following article for instructions on how to reset your iPhone. Please be sure to let me know if you need further assistance.
Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset
Have a great day,

What are my options for increasing storage capacity besides purchasing more memory, or deleting existing content. The new software install used up much of my storage capacity and the message is driving me crazy. Any ideas?? Thanks!
There are two kinds of storage messages that appewr on iOS devices. Your question seems at odds with your description so there might be some confusion here.
If the storage refers to not enough for an icloud back up then you need to purchase more icloud space or turn off iCloud backup. You can backup using iTunes on your computer with paying for additional iCloud storage.
if the storage refers to that on your iOS device as in there is not enough storage to update, then you have two options and neither option involves adding more storage since the amount of storage on an iOS devoce is fixed. One option is to delete stuff from your device to free up more space. The second option is to complete the update while your devoce is connected to your computer running the latest version of iTunes. When you do that the update is downloaded to your computer and extracted there so it doesn't require as much free space on your iOS device. -
I have just tried to update iTunes to the latest software and now I keep getting error messages. I have uninstalled and downloaded the latest version without any success. Any advice please?
Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from the following page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
To install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you downloaded.
Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any Bonjour entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another install. Does it go through this time? -

My iPhone 4s battery life is very short. I have done the most recent upgrade with no improvement. Any solutions on the way?
I had not tried that article, however I already went throught the troubleshooting assistant, which covers everything that article has.
I am about to try to delete and re-install iTunes though, which was mentioned in your artile link.
Thanks for the help.
I'll post my findings/results. -
Lost all of my contacts when i upgraded to the new software
does anyone know how to retrieve my contacts? they are still on my main mac but will not transfer to my iphone....help!
Have been reading many entries about Contacts vanishing from the iPhone, or even the application's icon altogether...!
My Contacts were still on my Mac and on MobileMe.
So, with No Contacts on my iPhone's screen, I just entered a new one, and just called it Test. iPhone started to sync and the Test address soon vanished. But after ten minutes, I got all my old Contacts back on my iPhone. -
My MacBook Pro does not recognize my Android Incrdible 2 cell phone and therefore I can not transfer any photos from my cell phone to my Mac. I was able to do this in the past, but can not do so now. I have not upgraded to any new software. My USB cable is plugged in properly and I just get an error message -- "No Android Device Found". What could be the problem?
I had the same issue with the Galaxy S4 trying to see what the hype was about and was my first and last android phone. With that being said unfortunately it is a hit or miss with the Mac recognizing an android device or not. It worked perfectly fine the first time around and then it stopped working for no apparent reason. Through trial and error nothing I did solved the issue. I did however plug it in my Mac and left it connected for about 30-40 min to charge for a bit and all of the sudden it recognizes the phone. So I just launched Android File Transfer and everything else became fluid after that. I have no explanation as to why it happened that way, but what I gathered from this is maybe you just have to let it sit for a minute while plugged in before the Mac recognizes it, after all they are opposing software. On a side note this is why I will always be an apple user, Iphones and the like never have this problem

Does anyone know how to enable editing on a new computer? I only have an 8gb phone and over 4gbs of music, half of which I don't even listen to anymore. I really want it off my phone, but when I plugged it into my new macbook nothing would delete. My old computer barely turns on so I can't even plug it into the old one to delete anything. I hit the sync button on the new computer and that didn't help either. I'd really like to upgrade to the new software but don't have the room on my phone until this music/a few apps are deleted. Any help would be appreciated!!
Here are two screen shots to show you what I am seeing. The first screen shot shows it allowing me to select (highlighted in blue) my admin user (which is what I am locced in as). The second screen shot shows it allowing me to select the "Guest" user (highlighted in blue). However when I click on the user "Orion" nothing happens. It will not change to highlight that user.

We bought the Ipad 2 for our son who has autism. It was the first time he had something he was interested in (besides my Iphone) and we were so excited to see him carry around something that he loved. I upgraded to the new software and as everybody as discovered...NO YOU TUBE. I got the new You Tube app but it's so different and hard to use. This has created such a problem for us and besides the games he likes to play....the Ipad is useless. Now it sits and he uses an old phone someone gave us with the old you tube on it. We have this expensive machine sitting there and he is using an old iphone. I myself have tried to get familiar with the new You Tube app and it's so hard to use and doesn't always play videos. Apple is suppsed to be so supportive of the autism community and has sold MILLIONS of products to families affected by autism and now they don't give us an option to downgrade to the old software in order to regain the OLD YOU TUBE icon. Children with autism like things routine and familiar. This is NOT familiar nor is it easy to use. I'm sure we aren't the only family with a special needs child upset by this change.
YouTube now has an app:
https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/youtube/id544007664?mt=8
or
http://m.youtube.com/
Sign in with your YouTube ID. Save that site on your iPad's Home screen. -
Ever since I upgraded to the new software, nothing works like it used to. The iPad is slow, the calendars appear and disappear andi have to re- sync. Does any one knows if a patch is on the works to resolve the problems? I know other users are having the same problem.
Back up your iPad. Then restore the iPad to the original factory settings. Then restore from your backup. Things should improve for you.

Hello There,
please help, I have been trying to get my ipad to work again for hours without luck.
After running the new software update on my ipad 2, I started having issues; device turned off by itself, apps couldn't be downloaded, etc (however it was at least working).
Being frustrated with the newly born issues, I decided to restore the ipad, hoping that would solve the issue, however I ended up with the black screen telling me to connect to iTunes and when I connect and go for restore, I get error message 4013 and 21. I tried re-installing iTunes, upgrading my opp system, but nothing,
Please help!!! Very annoying!!!
ThxYou say "USB can't be the issue...". I disagree. There are thresholds, etc. Maybe the iPhone passes some threshold, but the iPad does not.
You might reboot all devices. If that does not cure it, then check the TS3694 article I attached above.
