IOS 5 --maps now in Chinese
Since upgrading my iphone 4G to IOS5, maps are now in chinese characters,,, any ideas?
i copy-paste here my reply about the same topic on another page of apple support....
Hi guys.... same thing here... i did try different scenarios...also restoring with VPN, with ot without simcard etc...
the only way i've found to have the maps back in pinyin was to have a foreigner simcard into the iphone and VPN on.... in all the other combinations the result was always the same: maps in chinese. I guess in IOS5 the choice of the maps' language is related with both location and carrier...
i was able to revert back to 4.3.5....
direct download from apple website of the 4.3.5 firmware... then placing the iphone in DFU mode... once in itunes 10.5 option-click restore.. from there you can select the downloaded firmware (4.3.5) and restore to factory settings... next i did restore from a previous backup.... now everything is back as it used to be....
it seems apple officially validates the previous firmware (just the 4.3.5 not the previous ones).. at least for now... so i would suggest to anyone to revert back since apple still leaves us this possibility... otherwise i guess we have to wait for an update on ios 5 IF this is considered a bug....

After I updated my new Ipad with IOS 6, now Map& Dictation icon are not working. please help me
Thank you wjsten for your soon reply. Unfortunately on these days I'm in a country that Apple don't have any retail store here and for sake of time I prefer to fix it myself to DHL it to the nearest country to use its warranty. Do you have any idea how can I fix it? Do you think it's a software issue?

Why doesn't IOS Maps show a map any more?
So, when I was stuck in New York city for five days last week, I wound up using the new IOS maps app for the first time, on my iphone 4.
It worked fine for a day or two... then, for some reason, it stopped loading maps.
It would show a blue dot where I'm at, and little traffic warnings would appear, but no streets, no nothing.
If I tell it to load satellite views, that works fine, but regualr maps doesn't.
Now that I'm finally back home in LA, it's still doing the same thing.
I've manually closed the app, and done a hard reboot on the phone, and it still does the same thing.
Seriously, having a map app that stops working when you're stranded in a strange city with a hurricane barrelling down on you and you're trying to walk from your power-out old hotel to a new one was no fun...Sorry I thought you meant that you just closed (suspended) the app. Unfortunately I haven't heard of this problem before and haven't seen and KB articles on troubleshooting maps. If closing Maps, then restarting the phone didn't fix it, guess I would make an appointment with the genius bar at a nearby Apple store and have them take a look at it.

I updated my iPhone 4S to iOS 7 now my phone constantly deletes all my contacts and takes days to download them from my iCloud again, constantly needs to be turned off and on sometimes several times to make a phone call, the scroll rarely works, is there anything I can do, the apple tech told me it was something I'd just have to get used to, my phone worked perfectly before the update.
Even if it is a hardware problem they should fix it regardless of warranty. If you buy a car and after 1.5 years the doors fall off due to a failure in their design and construction, do you think the car manufacturer could pull off what Apple is trying to do? Yes the car still delivers its primary objective of driving from A to B, but significant functionality has been lost due to their fault.
It is the same with this iPhone wifi problem. Apple are a disgrace, I have had significant Apple Hardware failures with my MacBook Pro and iPhone within 2 years of purchase. Pathetic quality. -
Updated my iphone 3gs to the 5 ios and now my phone wont read my sim card when i reacticate it
updated my iphone 3gs to the 5 ios and now my phone wont read my sim card when i reactivate it.
Every time i connect it to itunes all it says is "There is no SIM card installed in the iphone you are attempting to activate." Even thought there is a sim card connected in my phone.Is the SIM from a supported carrier?
Is the device carrier locked, officially unlocked, or hacked to be unlocked?
Has the SIM been reseated? If not, try that.
Also, basic troubleshooting is reset, restart, restore. Has any of that been tried? -
I updated to new ios and now it is not syncing properly. New songs are not showing up on the ipod display but when I view the device on my computer, they are in the playlist but there is a dashed circle beside the missing songs. It previously synced perfectly before the IOS update. How can i revert back to the previous installed version?
Downgrading the iOS is not supported by Apple.
Try:

Dotted circles next to songs, won't sync, red circle with square? -
I have updated my iOS and now my hotmail will not verify my password through apple mail app. I have reset password - tried new password and old password and it still gives me password incorrect. Hotmail works fine on Mac. Has anyone had this difficulty and been able to resolve it?
Did you try deleting the mail account, then adding it back? I've read a lot of times that is what needs to happen in order for it to work properly.

I bought this MAC from a family member. Did everything need to change items to my apple id. Today I did the update for IOS Yosemite now the app store is auto filling with someone else id?? But they seem to be my apps??
If you didn’t erase the drive and install using you AppleID, then the OS and the purchased apps are still registered to the other AppleID. You cannot change that by logging into iCloud. Apps are forever tied to the AppleID used to purchase/download them.

iOS 5 used to allow Airplay between iPad (WiFi) and Apple TV (Ethernet) as long as they were on the same network, i.e. connected to the same wired/wireless router. In iOS 6, now both the iPad and the Apple TV have to be on the same network and both have to be connected using WiFi ? Why did they change this ? Means that the iPad and the Apple TV box both have to be in range of the wireless router when this wasn't a restriction before. Apple TV could be anywhere as long as it was connected to the same wireless router via ethernet cable. Seems like an unnecessary thing to restrict.
I have found with AppleTV that it is the IPV6 on the computer you want to access is the problem. The issue is that Homegroup on Win 7 or Win 8 requires IPV6 to work, but AppleTV won't work with IPV6. (So maybe double check you have IPV6 turned off)
So you have to make a choice - Homegroup or AppleTV.... but you can't have both, until Apple brings ATV up to date. (crazy that it does not recognise IPV6 - c'mon Apple!)
You can set up sharing individually in Win 7 or 8 and have the ATV access files that way.
Having said that, there is always the exception.. I have an old HP home server running Win8 and it services ATV - but is part of the Homegroup... have no idea why it works on both, but no other machine on the home network will talk to both ATV and Homegroup at the same time! -
upgraded to ios 5, now my voice mail is asking for a password or code to unlock to get voice mail. Didn't have a passcode before upgrade, so how do I reset the passcode?
So now I went back to the screen that orginally asked me for my Apple ID and passort, and instead of entering my Apple ID i entered the email address associated with it and the new password. It now tells me "You can't sign in because your account was disabled for security reasons. To enable your account, reset your passwort at iforgot.apple.com"
I have now changed my password twice and it still doesn't work.
Until I get this resolved my tablet is useless. -

I updated my Iphone 3gs to last version of iOS and now I can't change my configurations of Mail, Contacts, Calendars.
Generally that is a sign that the iPhone had previously been jailbroken
or hacked to work with other than the original wireless provider. The update
has relocked the iPhone to the original wireless provider. You must
contact them to see if they provide unlocking and if you qualify.
If you can get that far, what does it say when you look at
Settings=>General=>About=>Carrier?
