IOS 5.0.1 worse iOS ever!!

What do you think about iOS 5.0.1? It is a battery drainer!!! Worse iOS ever

IOS 5.0.1....disaster. Here is a snippet of my day when I realize how bad it was:
My Exchange ActiveSync connection hangs in a "connecting" state.
But I realized that its not hanging, its really trying to connect which causes the network card to run constantly so now my battery life starts to tank.
And then after 20 minutes it has finally connected, synced, and I received the email I have been waiting for. Needing to respond to this email, I quickly type a responce while my hand start to burn from the phone that was working overtime, that lost 25% battery life on what was once such a simple task and as I type the last few words before sending.....the mail app crashes.....so I reopen it .....and it crashes.....and I reopen it .......yup, it crashes....
......HATE......
But I have a first gen iPad in my truck. I run grab it so that I can get this reply out to a vendor that I need to email when abruptly I find that my iPad is doing the same thing.....and I realize it has the IOS 5.0.1 update as well.
Please IOS 5.0.2, cure these ills!!

after upgrading i phone 4 to ios 5 , my phone locked for ever .! help please

What do you mean "locked forever"? Was your phone hacked to unlock it? If so, updating iPhone software will re-lock it to the carrier it was originally locked to. If that happened to you, you have two choices: 1. Get it officially unlocked, or 2. Re-hack it to unlock it(help with that can't be provided here). Good luck.

Why did I ever updated IOS 6? I want IOS 5 back!

Why did I ever updated IOS 6? I want IOS 5 back!

The youTube App is gone because Apple's license to use it has expired.
YouTube is still accessible on the iPad via Safari (or any other browser) at http://m.youtube.com/
Sign in at this site and your favorites, etc. will still be present. Save the site icon to the iPad Home screen and you will have a replacement for the youTube App.
There is also an iPhone youTube App in the App Store which works on the iPad as well as the Jasmine App.

How to downgrade from iOS 8.3 back to iOS 8.2?

How to downgrade from iOS 8.3 back to iOS 8.2?

A handful of people scream about every update that is ever put out. It is the nature of technology and blame. Perhaps try addressing your issue instead of blaming yet another update. you would never had of installed 8.2 if you took these forums as any true representation of iOS users.

Can I downgrade from iOS 8.1.2 to iOS 7.1.2

Are there any instructions on how to downgrade my iPhone 4S from iOS 8.1.2 to iOS 7.1.2. My iPhone feels a lot slower ever since I have upgraded to iOS 8. Upgrading it each time has improved a tiny bit but I would much prefer iOS 7.1.2. I have tried to search YouTube videos on how to do it but everytime I try, it comes up with, "This device isn't eligible for the requested build." Can somebody please help me?

Sorry, downgrading is not supported by Apple.
Set it up as new device instead:

Yes you should update, you have one of the newer phones.

Ios 6 music app on ios 7 (to fix genre issue)

I am no longer able to drill down from genre to artists songs in the genre and their albums with songs in that genre. Apple has told me that is by design. So I have lost that ability and some others here have said the same thing.
Is there a way to find and use the ios 6 music app under ios 7 somehow? Else, I need to find a 3rd party app that will play the existing music (I don't want to download anything outside of itunes) and allow me to drill down from genre as ios 6's music app allowed me to do.
Any suggestions (incl. possible apps if I can't use ios 6 music app)?

I use, by the way, the windows app Tag & Rename. Have been using it for years and highly recommend it if you are on the windows platform. In order to get things to work properly I had to change tags in two ways for ios 7: (1) copy all my artist fields to album artists fields and (2) (unfortunately) pull out the data in the year field (which I moved to the comment field) since ios 7 now sorts by the year field as well.
That got the ios 7 music player to final list the stuff properly - at least as I drilled down from genre. Still, the interface was at a minimum "wanting". I found an inexpensive (not free) app - I think it was something like $3.99. It was written and supported by two programmers - a 18 and 21 year old. Still the interface is relatively clean and the gestures once learned make things easy to find out and change with a single finger - check it out: "Ecoute". It does the job for me much better then ios 7's.
My only complaint is since I do not have album art or any other art associated with music as I am a composer and write my own material - I end up with 5 rows and 3 columns of icons with default icons. But even that has an 'option' as you can get a textual list by taping on the top. If you are at genres and the artist is showing, tapping on the top will list all the tracks in alphabetical order with times for that artist. If the albums are showing in the screen - tapping on the artist on the top will display all the tracks in alphabetical order with a line below them describing the album name. And when you tap just on the album icon, you get just a list of the tracks.
Some other cool tapping and swiping actions.... easy to learn...

And i hope to take my suggusts and make me happy becouse apple it is cooler from samsung
Apple the best
H.M

The iPad 1 can't run the newer operating systems. It'd be like trying to play a bluray disc in your 6 year old dvd player....it simply lacks the hardware to make the software run.
No suggestion about the camera, but given that Apple's attitude seems to be to focus more on the more mobile devices for photography (the iPhone and Touch cameras got features, the iPad and mini didn't), that is highly unlikely. You can tell Apple what you want, but you'd probably be money ahead to get a digital camera.
as to the photos, anything put on via iTunes has to come off via iTunes.Your main alternative would be to look for photo apps that offer file exchange that may give you more functionality.

Problem upgrading from ios 4.3.5 to ios 6.

Hi all,
I'm trying to upgrade my wife's iphone 4 from ios 4.3.5 to ios 6, and I'm getting an error message I can't find a meaning for or a solution to.
I'm upgrading via iTunes because "over the air" isn't available to go from 4.3.5 to 6.
I've Synced the phone and taken a backup.
The download of ios6 works fine, but when I start the update it tries to do its own backup but at that point I get an error message "-5000" which says that the backup cannot be completed and that all information on the phone will be lost if I continue.
Now, as well as the iTunes backup, I've manually taken a copy of all her pictures/videos, & I know that if the worst happens, I can restore apps from the iTunes store & contacts from Outlook, so that's all OK.
However she's keen not to lose her message history, so my first question is can I be sure that if we proceeed with the update (and in so doing wipe the phone) that her messages (and contacts) can be restored from the backup?
The really strange thing is that I've successfully updated my own iPhone 4 and an iPad 2 using the same method without getting this error.
So my second question is what does this error message mean and what's causing it to happen?
I've checked all the software (iTunes 10.7 & Windows Vista (yea, I know!)) is up to date. I even tried removing and reinstalling iTunes but to no avail.
Because of the previous successful upgrades on other devices, I suspect that the problem is a setting on the phone itself, but I can't see any obvious differences between it now an mine before update.
Anyone got any ideas?
Apologies for the long post, but I wanted to explain all the things I've tried so far.
BTW in case you're wondering, she didn't go from 4.3.5 to 5 because of some unexplained "0x" type error at the time, so we lived without it, but having accidentally 'lost' a couple of photos recently we're keen to get her using the iCloud backup in ios6 if nothing else.

I did, but neglected to come back and update this post.
It seems to have been an anti-virus software problem.
The PC I was having the problem on was using Avira, but the one where it worked was using Norton 360.
I removed Avira and replaced it with Norton, and the update went through fine.
I've no idea why Avira would cause that problem, but there it is.

I have a "company provided Ipad" now using IOS 6.1.3. the company Will allow me to upgrade to IOS 7 but not to IOS 8. Is that possible?

I have a "company provided Ipad" now using IOS 6.1.3. the company Will allow me to upgrade to IOS 7 but not to IOS 8. Is that possible?

No, since the iPad 2 is iOS 8 compatible it can only be updated to iOS 8. Apple does not support upgrading to interim iOS versions, and removes those files from the servers when a new version is released. The only path for that iPad 2 is iOS 8.0.2.

How do I update my ipod touch 4g from ios 4.3.5 to ios 6.0.1 without losing my app data(such as my progress in games)

i have a ipod touch and want to update from ios 4.3.5 to ios 6.0.1(the newest). how do i do that without losing the progress in my games that i downloaded from appstore? Pls Help!

Backing up saves your settings and other stuff on core apps but it doesnt save your appdata(that's is the main thing i am looking for) so it wont restore that when i restore it from the backup i create and this article too says it http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4972 so i would like too know how do i keep my data stored in apps from the appstore if there is any way to keep the data. Thanks anyway. If anyone else knows a way then please help as i accidentally clicked on this solved my question. :|

How come I can't update my iPad 1 to the new iOS 6 it says my iOS version 5.1.1 is the latest version?

How come I can't update my iPad 1 to the new iOS 6 it says my iOS version 5.1.1 is the latest version?

The iPad 1, coming up on three years since it was introduced, has been given two major and a number of minor upgrades to iOS, more than many tablet manufactures provide. The iPad 1's hardware just can't effectively support many of the features in iOS 6. So I don't think that it's particularly unfair for Apple to no longer provide updates. And yes, I do own and manage a number of iPad 1s.
Regards.

Is there a way to downgrade from iOS 5.1.1 to iOS 4.1 without any unauthorised modifications (e.g. jailbreaking)?

I found this piece of information: http://osxdaily.com/2012/06/18/downgrade-ios-6-beta-to-ios-5/ Yes, it's about downgrading from iOS 6 beta, not iOS 6, but the way to downgrade to a previous version of iOS is basically the same.
I have an iPhone 4 running iOS 5.1.1 and an iPod touch 4 running iOS 5.1.1 as well. None of them is 'jailbroken'. I upgraded my iPod touch to iOS 6 for exploring it a bit more and reverted back to iOS 5.1.1. How? I did it the way stated by the website I mentioned above: just by Option-Clicking the 'Restore' button on iTunes and select the iOS 5.1.1 software. No need to enter recovery mode or DFU mode whatsoever.
In fact, Apple doesn't allow users to downgrade to a previous version of iOS: 'Downgrading to a previous version of iOS is not supported.' (http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3694) The reason why I could downgrade from iOS 6 to iOS 5.1.1 may be, as the above website said, 'Typically you can’t downgrade iOS versions so easily, but because Apple is still signing iOS 5.1.1 this allows downgrading to commence with minimal effort.'
I was wondering whether I could revert all the way from iOS 5.1.1 to iOS 4.1 (the version that was shipped along with the launch of the iPod touch 4 in September 2010). (for experimental purposes)
I downloaded the iOS 4.1 (a list of iOS software: http://osxdaily.com/2010/10/30/download-ipod-touch-firmware-ipsw/) and tried Option-Clicking when restoring this iOS 4.1 — no luck. iTunes said 'This device is not eligible for the requested build'. And I did a bit of research and found that there are ways to downgrade from iOS 5.1.1 to iOS 4.1, but it seems you have to jailbreak the device, which is complicated and I don't want to do.
So, is there a way to downgrade from iOS 5.1.1 to iOS 4.1 without any unauthorised modifications (e.g. jailbreaking)? Thanks in advance.

No, downgrading from any version of iOS to an earlier version is not supported.
