IOS 5 Update Issues (contact numbers, m4r files, photo library)

Right after updating my iPhone 4 to IOS 5, I encountered the following minor issues:
1. Most of my contacts numbers are displayed as numbers only without names when they call or message me. I found out that the country code is added to their numbers (wasn't the case before the update). So, a number, let's say, 555-5555, must be updated in the contact list to read (+555) 555-5555. When I add the country code however, I still receive a call or message without the name, because it comes out without the country code, i.e. 555-5555! Confusing indeed.
2. All of my m4r files, mainly ringtones, have disappeared from my iPhone, though the sync process via iTunes shows they were properly transferred to iPhone. When I go to Sounds setting, or playlist, there is none. (Wasn't the case before the update. My ringtones were part of the Sounds setting)
3. I have double photo albumes for the same photos in my iPhone photo library. I only select one folder in my computer to sync with iPhone, so the photos in this folder are now copied to Camera Roll, and another folder called Mobile. (Wasn't the case before the update. Photos were placed in Camera Roll only)
Other than that, all working fine so far.

Note on point 1:
This is the issue with contact numbers as I further found out:
The problem basically with messages and calls.
Adding a country code to a contact number will show contact name in messages but not in calls coming therefrom.
Removing the country code from the contact number, will show only phone number in calls but not in messages where I only get the number without the name!
To overcome this problem, I have to register the same number for each contact twice, one with a country code and the other without! Duplicating numbers for each contact obviously is not the right solution.

  • IOS 5 Update issues: albums misplaced

    Hi,
    When I updated my Ipod 4th gen 64 gig to IOS 5, some of the albums on the Ipod were misplaced.  I can find them when I go under album view, but not when under artist view. (ie: The Beatles Past Master's Vol 2 will not come up under Artist view).
    I tried taking the songs off the Ipod and resynching them back on, and it still doesn't work. I tried to change the artist name, when highlighted with all of the other songs from the artist.  And Ive also tried making the albums the same title, since this is only effecting albums that are a second or third disc (ie: I took out the Disc 1 and Disc 2 from the Past Master's albums, thus making them the same title.)
    So Im wondering if there is another way to do this.
    And I have also been having a ton of lagging switching between apps, trying to lock the screen, and trying to go to the home screen.  Its seems like its getting worse the past few weeks.  I have 34 gig free, so space is not an issue, which is a problem I have heard about with my friend's Ipod's, who have less than 1 gig free.
    Thanks for your time!

  • Need Help w/ iOS 5 update issues for 3rd gen ipob touch

    I have a 32gb 3rd gen ipod touch. Since updating to iOS5 none of my itunes library reinstalled and I couldn't download any podcasts until I deleted about 20 apps. Now if I want to download a podcast it tells me I don't have enough memory unless I delete one I've already listened to. Does the iOS5 really take up that much space?!?!
    How can I fix this?

    With your iPod connected to the computer click on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and look at the distribiution of the capacity usage of the iPod in the colored bargraph near the bottom. If the "other "category is very large, like >1 GB that is problably the problem.  To reduce the "other" you need to retore you iPOd.  Sometimes restoring from backup works but other times resoring to factory defaults/new iPod is reqquired.
    If the large "other" is not the problem what is using the storage on the iPod?

  • IOS 5.1 Update Issue: Contacts exist, but do not appear with incoming call or text

    Alrighty; I just purchased the iPhone 4s and last night was prompted to upgrade to IOS 5.1.  After doing so, I noticed today any incoming calls from one of my contacts would not display the name (the number was displayed as if it was an unknown call).  However, text messages displayed contact information.  I was playing around with it and based on suggestions elsewhere I added a '1' before some numbers.  Upon doing this, an incoming call would display the name of the caller but incoming texts would not. A call to support directed me to call Verizon (my carrier) for 'some sort of three digit code' which would correct the issue; alas, Verizon had no clue.  I'm at a loss and any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

    Is this forum only for the US? Maybe I'm intruding here by posting this?
    Not only the Verizon version unfortunately. We have the same problem here in some parts of the Middle East. I have heard reports from Kuwait and Bahrain, and I'm located in Oman and the problem exists here as well. And no solution except downgrading the phone back to iOS 4.3.5.

  • After IOS 8 update, recent contacts show up on multiple iPhonesq

    we updated to IOS 8 and now, when I recieve a call or text message, it shows up as a recent contact on my wife's phone (In the photo bubbles on top of screen) and vice versa. How do you stop that? This happens on both devices Iphone 6 Plus and iphone 5

    Are you using the same Apple ID/iCloud account on both phones? If so, each of you should have their own Apple ID. You can still share content with the new iCloud family share option.

  • IPhone 4s Post iOS 6 Update Issues

    After updating to iOS6 I noticed several issues with my Sprint iPhone 4s.
    One, which many have written about already is faster rate of battery drain that is happening whether the phone is in use or not.
    But one other thing that I haven't seen any discussion about is during a regular call, my iPhone 4s becomes rather warm, almost too hot to handle.
    Is anyone else having this issue? And what can be done about it until Apple graces us with a fix to their update?

    I am having some crazy issues over the last couple days and I live in SF Bay area too. On AT&T not Verizon. Updated to ios6 almost a month ago and didnt start having issue until Thursday
    First I'm stuck in a call, can't end or go to screen that shows the keypad or put on speaker; nothing.
    2.Then on Fri no badge on SMS app and all new and old texts gone.
    3. Can't even start new sms from icon in top right nor from send message button in each contact
    Does any of this sound familiar?

  • Iphone 4s - iOS 7 update issues

    I updated my itunes and did a manual backup before I updated to iOS 7.
    Result :
    1) Iphone can't sync to itunes (sync fail to start)
    2) Alarm app closes to dashboard when trying to change alarm tone.
    3) Itunes, Podcasts and all music apps that access my music/videos etc opens but shows up blank before closing back to dashboard. Itunes always opens up a second time after the first closing to only show blank screen and then closing to dashboard.
    4) Can't restore from the back up that I did before updating to ios 7 (it says my back up has failed)
    5) Spotlight does not work and nothing happens even when i enter an app's full name.
    6) Going to Settings > General > About  --- does not finish calculating space taken by songs/videos/photos and just closes back to desktop
    Side note : I updated my ipad2 to ios 7 with none of the problems mentioned above.
    Very annoyed and would appreciate any advice or suggestions.
    I intend to try and restore from recovery mode later tonight.
    Message was edited by: mishmash07

    I restored the phone as new (reset content and settings) and then restored from backup.
    All seems to be working fine now, spotlight working, music app not crashing - syncing all the apps back on and fingers crossed that it's fixed.
    So far so good.

  • HT4623 iOS 6 update issues

    I updated my iphone 5 to ios6 and it pulled pulled contacts, calendar, etc. from my son's iphone 4 and vice versa. 
    In addition, I am getting his test messages and he mine.  Anybody know how to rectify this?

    Power down iPhone. Connect via cable to Itunes. Hold down power button and home button. I tunes will indicate that an Iphone is in recovery mode, restore. Select yes.  Once done restore data from back up and this should resolve the sound problems. It is important to first restore original factory settings and have an empty phone. then restore your data from the cloud, etc
