IOS 5 Problems (Restore?)

I recently updated my iPhone 4 to iOS 5 and ever since I have had problems. The screen keeps freezing, I can't edit contacts, most of my apps are just grey squares and so on. I backed up my phone before I updated, so if I restore will I lose anything? If so, does anyone know what I will lose, and will this (Potentially) fix my issues with iOS 5?

Have you tried a hard reset? Hold home and sleep/wake buttons down at the same time for a couple of minutes until you see the white apple logo on the black screen. Let up and wait a couple minutes for it to come to the slide on screen. If you have tried this and it didn't work... a restore from back up may work as many users report good results with a restore. Since you have Apple care why not call Apple at 800 my Apple and they can walk u through it over the phone? That way in case you have questions during the process they can answer them. Of course you will need a land line....natch!
Good luck
Marco

I'm waiting for my new iPhone 5s to be delivered. I lost my iPhone 5 but did have it backed up on my MacBook Pro. I was using iOS6 at the time. Will I have a problem restoring the data to my new iPhone 5s assuming it will come with iOS7?

No, you should not. There are problems trying to go the other way, but updating a newer iOS release from a backup of an older iOS release has always been supported and is the basic means of setting up a new device from a previous one.

IOS 5 problems [reply all problems HERE]

Please reply all iOS 5 problems here so Apple can read them and fix.
my iOS 5 problem is that I can't listen my music on iphone.
when i click play nothing happens.

Yesterday, I wanted to update both my iPhone 4 and our iPad to ios 5 and boy this turned out to be a 5 hour affair with only the iPhone successfully installed. Initially, I had to update my iTunes to 10.5 which requested a PC reboot. Coincidentally Microsoft also had 8 updates requiring installation when I rebooted - already 45 mins lost. With iTunes 10.5 successfully installed, we then proceeded to install ios 5 on the iPad. The software downloaded OK (700MB plus and lots of activity on the Apple servers), the download speeds were slow. OK, an hour later and now ready to install, except there was an error after error after ........error message, all completely meaningless and then something about not being able to make contact with the Apple servers to verify ..... whatever.
Against my better judgement, now tried to install ios 5 on my iPhone 4. And again, the 700MB download (another 60 mins), backup of the iPhone and then installation and then for some reason the restore was interrupted/continued three to four times. Sometimes the Apple device lost connection with my laptop (was the cable faulty? Never before...., sometimes an uninitiated reboot was required (and not requested) to keep things moving along.
Apple, are you there? What went wrong? We're just as devasted as you all are that Steve is no longer around but is this a tribute? This kind of performance is what Microsoft provided a decade ago! Is this good enough?

I recently had to swap out my iphone 4s and I am having problems restoring photos and videos from icloud. I get a message on my phone that says " the URL you are requesting is not found on this server". Pics and videos have been deleted too.

I recently had to swap out my iphone 4s and I am having problems restoring photos and videos from icloud. When I restored my phone from icloud, half of my pics and videos have been deleted, the pics that were restored on my phone are very blurry, and the videos won't play. I get a message on my phone that says " the URL you are requesting is not found on this server". I have erased and reset my phone twice, but every time I do it, more pics and videos are deleted. I have backed up to icloud and iphoto, however, some of the pics are no longer on iphoto either. Is there someway to get the videos to play on my phone again? Make the photos not as blurry as they are now and to restore the pics and videos that have been lost? I really would love to have them back, this phone is supposed to be the best and right now it doesn't seem to be. Please help if you can.

I too have noticed that once i restored from iCloud. Pictures blurry and videos wont play!
Need help too!!

Problem restoring source system connection post BW system copy

Hi.
I am having problems restoring the R/3 connection in our BW system.
This is the scenario.
We need to move our BW production system onto a new system, but keep both BW connected to R/3 production for testing etc until cutover to our new BW system.
Basis performed a system copy and restore of BW production to the new system and ran BDLS.
When I try to restore the R/3 connection via RSA1 I am getting the following error at the end-
"A connection already exists there ......." and the message refers to our current/live BW system. The options are to delete the existing or not delete. I have only chosen "do not delete" and therefore the connection is not restored. My concern is that if I choose "delete" this will damage my existing connection between R/3 and the currently live BW system which is we cannot afford to do.
In our newly copied BW system we are using the existing R/3 SM59 (from system copy), and in R/3 we have created a new SM59 for our new BW system.
It seems from the error message information that is complains that BW sent R/3 some sort of ID (value = "WS") and that is already taken by the existing BW system. I tried to find where and what this WS value is referring to and the only thing I have found is that in table RSBASISIDOC "WS" is the suffix for transfer structure for that R/3 system. ??? Not sure if this is related for what.
Thanks for any help

Hi ,
Please check with basis or if you can ,then try to restore the source system in BI/BW.This should correct the inconsistencies between the two systems which is being caused by different Idoc types
Also check the table RSBASIDOC in the BI system and compare this to R/3 system ,the "basic type" field should be same.
A restore should work,it has always worked for me.

Is there a way to acces the "iOS Setup Assistant" from iOS 6 without restoring it?

When I installed the iOS 6 on my iPhone 4, I chose the wrong computer to sync with (between my old one and my new one) and now my iPhone will only back up on my computer and won't sync new songs or anything!
I tried to sync with USB cable, I reinstalled iTunes and I'm affraid to restore it!
So, is there a way to acces the "iOS Setup Assistant" from iOS 6 without restoring it? (so I can choose the right computer)
Or, is there another solution?
Thanks!

Hi!
you have two ways:
1- move your iTunes library from your computer to other one and sync your phone again. your apps and etc. has been reinstall.
2- you can sync your iPhone just with iCloud. first upload your song with iTunes to your iCloud account and then sync your iPhone with that.

HT4972 I tried to update my iPhone 3S with iOS, data was restored but on continue with activation in the iTunes stores, it is replying "We're sorry, we are unable to continue with your activation at this time." what could be the reason?

I tried to update my iPhone 3GS with iOS, data was restored but on continue with activation in the iTunes stores, it is replying "We're sorry, we are unable to continue with your activation at this time." what could be the reason?

Hmm, well... iTunes trys to activate your iPod using the Apple server to make sure you have bought it legit.
Two things come into my mind:
1) Your iTunes can't access the internet.
2) Apples activation servers are down.
That's just my cents, maybe anyone else has an idea.

HT201320 setting up mail in ios 6 problems

While setting up mail on my iphone 5, the account (Both gmail and Yahoo) gets stuck on "adding account" and eventually times out. I have had 3 iPhones prior, iPads and have never had this problem before. Is it an ios 6 problem??? Thanks!

Perhaps you have a corrupted Mail preferences file. If you are familiar with using the command line from the Terminal application, I would suggest you try this:
plutil -lint /Users/<your user name>/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plist
My file was fine, so I received this response:
/Users/<your user name>/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plist: OK
Your results may vary if the plist file for Mail on your machine contains syntax errors.

Anybody have problems restoring Iphone 4 for verizon after replacing the LCD

anybody have problems restoring Iphone 4 for verizon after replacing the LCD

i didnt replace the screen on my verizon iphone, but i have had several problems in the past with restoring, however they are always easily solved for me by plugging into another computer and restoring from there once its restored off that computer you can then plug back into your computer and put your info back on.
also remember to copy the ipsw from your iphone software updates folder onto a flash drive and onto the computer you are using to update to save yourself form downloading the ipsw on that computer (if it is not already on that computer). then just do an option restore by holding option key when you hit restore and select the ipsw you want to restore to.
hope this helps
