IOS 5.0 / 5.0.1 Playlist issue on 3GS/iP4 and i4S
I have a few iOS devices as noted above this issue is experienced on all of them
Post upgrade to iOS 5 the new "Split" ipod.app (music and videos) has performance issues with large playlists.
Performance issue arent the biggest issue, however large playlists can render the Music app unusable
If a playlist is large enough it will be extemely slow loading it the first time its used, after that. Closing the music app with a large playlist loaded renders the Music.app unusable without reconnection to a computer and iTunes.
When a large platlist is loaded and the Music app is loaded for the first time (either closed via the Multitasking bar or fresh after a reboot) the app attempts to load the playlist, after a short period, iOS 5 belives the app has crashed (as its busy loading) times the app out and force closes it.. further attempts at loading the app have the same result.
Making your playlist smaller fixes the issue, However it is not present on 4.3.3.
This appears to be a bug/performance issue on iOS 5, I attempted to submit a support request but all I get is the "Express Lane" support options.
Im Posting this here to help anyone else that might be expereincing the same issue.
To restore functionality of your music app without a restore (I read somewhere that someone was doing that with their 3Gs)
On your PC/Mac
Open iTunes
Select any large playlists (1000+) that are synced with your idevice (typically smart playlists) and limit or split them into smaller lists.
If this is not possible, uncheck these playlists in the Music tab of your iDevice in the sync properties.
Sync the device.
The music app should now load and allow you to play at least something untill iOS 5.0.2 comes out (assuming Apple are aware of the bug)
##Note attempts to force another playlist via another app or via Siri will fail, the device will simply not play music, IE in the case of Siri, Siri will answer "Okay playing your playlist Purchased" and then nothing will happen
Im testing on my Ipad2 and another 3GS i have on 4.3.3 to tripple check this doesnt happen on 4.3.3, but i havent changed my playlists since the upgrade.. soo yeah

Since updating my iPhone 4 to iOS 5.1 I'm having compatibility issues with my speakers / docking station and my iTunes wifi sync isn't working. Anyone else having the same problems? Both worked fine until the update...
Okay. I got it working again by setting it up as a new phone instead of just syncing. Then I backed up. All is good today.

Syncing issues with 3GS ical and address book
I have been using Entrourage 2008 with success for a good few months - had a few issues to start with but thought I'd cracked it! However, I have now found that when I syn my 3gs I have to ensure that I tick replace information in the itunes sync before I sync. If I don't then I get hundreds upon hundreds of duplicate entries in calendar and .. any new contact details entered onto the iphone are wiped out this way - so how can I sync with combining the information without bringing back duplicates to the calender. Please help! Driving me batty!
The other thing I have a problem with is iCal. Even though I have successfully synced the iphone with iCal - there is 'nothing' in the iCal calendar at all!! But it all shows exactly right on the iphone!! It appears to be drawing the sync via iCal taking it from Entrouage - must be! .. there are no entries at all in iCal and only one Calendar called Entrougage. Completely confused!! Thought Google Calendar may be of better help so I have just tried that and can't import directly from Entrouage only from iCal and of course it tells me that there is nothing in iCal... Uuummm ????

Since the upgrade to iOS 6 some of my music playlists from iOS 5 do not work, eg recently added, recently played, probably because they are not available on iOS6. Should I delete them.
I should mention that I have the same issue with my Iphone 4s, now using iOS6.

Updated itunes, ipod and now i have playlist issues.
just upgraded to OS X (5.8). then upgraded ipod to os 4.2. then updated itunes to 10. now i am having interesting issues when i plug the ipod into the computer. of course, everything on the ipod music was wiped out. so i had to sync back all the music. but now i cannot make any playlists when i plug in the ipod. i can only make playlists in itunes on the computer. this is not right. i made several playlists on my ipod before. when i hit the file drop down menu, none of the playlist options are highlighted when i have the ipod selected. what has happened or what do i need to do???
Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order. -
Two iPad/Match Playlist Issues
I am having a number of problems with Match, iTunes and my iPad.
For starters, I have iTunes and Match running on 3 computers (a Macbook Pro, a Macbook and a Mac Mini). I also use Match with my music on an iPhone 4 and an iPad 2.
My iPhone music is fine.
On my iPad, however, there are a couple of issues.
1) Smart playlists, such as 100 Most Listened to Songs, and 50 Most Recent Purchases have thousands of songs in them, not the 100 or 50 that they should. Those playlists are correct on all other computers and my iPhone
2) Regular playlists have only a fraction of the songs that they should, and they appear to be changing the playlists on the other machines. For example, a playlist that was created with 15 songs in it, and had 15 songs on all machines, only had 4 songs on the iPad (and this IS with All songs shown, taking into account they may or may not have been downloaded to the device). And then, after I saw there were only 4 songs in the iPad playlist, I looked again at the other devices and those playlists were changed to only have 4 songs too. The changes happened AFTER I looked at the playlists on the iPad.
All of my devices are running the latest versions on iTunes, OS 10 and iOS.
I know these are similar to some of the other Match/Playlist issues, but there are a few differences too.
Any ideas?For #1 - on your computer, right-click (or control-click) one of the songs that this is affecting, then choose "Get Info". Look on the "Info" tab. Is the "Part of a compilation" item checked? If it is, that will change how the song is categorized so it won't appear under the artist name. I've found that sometimes this is checked even on things like "Best of..." albums where the artist is always the same.
For #2, do the same thing, but this time look for any weird characters in the info - like maybe somehow a letter got entered into the "year" field, or you might see empty squares in the name field. Fix anything that looks odd, then sync again or update iTunes match, and see if you can open that artist on the ipad again. -
IPhone 4S/iOS 7.0.4/WiFi Grey Out Issues
My iPhone 4S (64GB memory/ATT) was working beautifully on iOS 5.1.1. WiFi connected seamlessly with Access Points at home, work, etc.
Then I made the mistake of wirelessly updating to iOS 7.0.4. Instantly the WiFi stopped working and the <Settings>, <WiFi> tab was greyed out and non-responsive. Oddly the WiFi tab on the Control Panel was responsive, but did not actually activiate the WiFi chip or open a connection to the WiFi antenna. Accordingly, there is no option to find or connect to a WiFi network.
Most other features appear to work, including the ATT cellular service and Bluetooth connection. However, the iPhone is slow to respond to some apps, For example, tapping <Settings> takes 5-6 seconds for a response whereas with iOS 5.1.1 the response was instantaneous. Also a few apps (even after updating) and a couple of iOS pages now cause the iPhone to go blank for a few seconds or crash.
Sounded like either an iOS or firmware issue to me.
I followed all of the Apple and ATT suggestions, including:
-Confirming that the iPhone is not in Airplane mode.
-Turning the iPhone off, waiting, and restarting.
-Forcing a hard restart of the iPhone by holding the <Silent> and <Home> keys simultaneously for 7 seconds.
-Resetting the network settings by tapping <Settings>, <General>, <Reset>, and <Reset Network Settings>.
-Checking for a newer iOS (none).
At the suggestion of a couple of ATT support representatives, I tried even more drastic measures:
-Resetting all settings by tapping <Settings>, <General>, <Reset>, and <Reset All Settings>.
-Resetting all content and settings by tapping <Settings>, <General>, <Reset>, and <Reset All Content and Settings>.
-Backing up, Restoring iOS and firmware, and Restoring applications and data using iTunes.
-Restoring iOS and firmware using iTunes, and then setting up as a new iPhone.
-Turning off iPhone, waiting while ATT pushed a new switch data pack to iPhone, and then restarting iPhone.
Actually I did all of these "fixes" at least twice with the same result: still a greyed out and non-responsive <Settings> <WiFi> tab with no WiFi signal.
Apple and ATT's ultimate solution was predictable: Buy a new 64 GB iPhone 5 for several hundred dollars (plus numerous proprietary cables) and forget the 47 GB of data, photos, etc. lost beta-testing their iOS and "fixes".
Any "fixes" that I missed or other suggestions?ChrisJ4203, thanks very much for your input. I don't mean to turn this post into an endless debate, but frankly I am still having a hard time believing that the WiFi died as a result of a hardware failure.
My logic might be flawed, but here it is:
While the iPhone 4S got very hot when wirelessly downloading and installing iOS 7.0.4 over the WiFi network, the WiFi chip and antenna had to be functional to complete the wireless iOS update. Apple was very clear that iOS 7.0.4 is too large to download and install via cellular service. Accordingly it would appear that any hardware failure had to occur in the few minutes between the download/installation of iOS 7.0.4 and its first use. That window of opportunity is incredibly small in an otherwise flawless hardware performance. I am not a big believer in long shot coincidences, so a WiFi hardware malfunction seems highly improbable to me, but not impossible. A firmware/iOS conflict still seems more plausible to me.
I also don't read much into Apple's "out-of-warranty" replacement offer at $199. AT&T tells me that anyone walking in off the street (with or without a hardware or iOS malfunction) would receive the same offer.
I appreciate that some iPhone 4S users did not experience any WiFi issues when they updated to iOS 7.0.4, but such difference could easily be explained if Apple used more than one WiFi chip and/or firmware in the iPhone 4S series. Such an explanation would also account for iOS 7.0.4 (and 7.0.6) not recognizing the WiFi chip after the iOS update.
Still perplexed, but thanks again for your kind efforts to help.
Wonder if I can limp along long enough to spend my money on an Apple iPhone 6 ... but then again I don't want to be anyone's beta-tester.
I am tempted to switch to a Samsung Galaxy or some other smartphone as long as I will be buying new accessories, but frankly I don't want to waste my time learning a new OS or core apps. -

Ipad2 losses cell connection now that iOS 8 was installed. Ios 8.0.2 did NOT correct the issue. Come on and fix this issue!
Hey everyone-
Im in the same boat, started a thread . My hands free system worked fine with iOS 8 out of the box new iphone 6. Did the update this morning and i can stream music perfectly fine however i cannot make or receive calls through hands free system.
I have not tried resetting the settings like most people indicate is working. I feel like I shouldn't have to reset anything, even less mess with settings with an update coming from apple. it should "Just Work"
Some people who reset said it works for a few hours, other say it don't work, and I don't know what I should do.
Car: Hyundai Sonata 2014
NOTE: I was able to replicate the issue in my wifes Hyunday Elentra 2013.
This is how I know its not a defect with the BT in my car. -
iPhone 4s will not boot after trying to install ios7 beta 4. Stops at apple logo with progress line under it. how can I reset it or get it back up to do a restore then try the iOS 7 beta 4 install again. Issue was probably caused by disconnection
Obviously since you have iOS 7 you're a developer. As a developer, you signed a NDA with Apple not to discuss the iOS on a public forum. Please log in to the Developer Forum using your credentials and ask for help there, lest you risk having your credentials terminated.
Thanks, and best of luck to you.

I downloaded IOS7. Now the headings in my playlists are half in English and half in German. How do I make them all English?
Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new). Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.

Hello.I wanted to upgrade my iPad 1 to iOS 5.1 Over the Air.I was running iOS 5.0.1.It said it had an error connecting to server.It is already 5 hours i cant install this update.I also have an iPhone 4 with iOS 5.0.1 with the same issues.Help please!
You're probably running into the servers simply being swamped. Thousands of people are all going for the software update at the same time. Give it a try again and if that doesn't work, then try plugging it into your computer and trying it that way.
I didn't get a notion of the size, it doesn't seem to be as big as the 700 meg 5.0 update, but it did take me 20+ minutes to download via cable internet so it's a large file. That in and of itself takes a while.
If you're trying to download it directly to your iPhone, you'll need to be on wifi since I'm sure it's well over the 20 meg file size limit for 3G. -
Why these features aren't avaiable on iphone yet ?Internal radio, Bluetooth(work with any mobile), Memory slot, Better internal memory(>512 MB), Fast processor, 21Mbps HSDPA, Big display (feel the real experience of IOS) Will the next iphone resolve these issues ?
For the same reason my car hasn't got in-dash satnav, leather upholstery or a six litre engine. Because that's how the manufacturer chose to make it. If you are unhappy with the specs, don't buy one.
There is no information regarding any new iPhone.
