IOS 5 - Updating Lyrics Not Working? Bug?

It appears that if I CHANGE an existing Lyrics embedded in the meta-data a song, it is not updating in the Music Player of my iPhone 4S. For some reason the old pre-updated lyrics still appear in the music player. I've tried completely deleting the songs on the phone and re-loading them, but the old lyrics still appear on the phone. I've also tried deleting songs completely from iTunes itself as well as my iPhone, resynching without the song, then re-downloading them and putting in new lyrics and re-syncning. And the old lyrics STILL SHOW UP!! Weird.
My iTunes is using iTunes Match but my phone is NOT - I am hard syncing it to iTunes to update. Also, my iPOD Classic is being updated correctly with the changed lyrics. Since I'm an app programmer and this was driving me crazy, I wrote a quick app that actually displays the embedded lyrics of any song that is playing on the iPhone music player, and in MY app, the lyrics show up correctly, but if I switch over to the music player they are still the old lyrics. Obviously, somehow the Music Player is retaining two sets of embedded lyrics data - what it was when it first loaded and what it was when it changed, and is for some reason displaying the former. I do not see any way to clear this old data on the iPhone.
Note that I've also tried rebooting the phone, clearing the Music app from memory on the iPhone. rebooting the computer, etc. Nothing works. Also note that this only happens when I CHANGE lyrics on a song with EXISTING lyrics. If I add lyrics to a song that previously did not have any, it updates correctly.
Can somewhere verify this bug? If you have a song with lyrics already embedded, try adding a word at the end of that song in iTunes and see if it updates the iPhone. Preferable someone will try this who has at least iOS5 installed (hopefully also an iPhone 4S). I just want to see if it's someting in my specific setup or a general bug.
Thanks in advance for anyone's help on this!

OK - My wife has an iPhone 4 (NOT S) but and has iOS 5.01 installed, but the lyrics DO change on her phone - we just tried. She however is still on iTunes 10.5.0 not 10.5.1 and she does not have iTunes Match.
So since someone on another forum indicates that this is happening on their iPhone 4, it must be a problem with iTunes 10.5.1 or else something to do with iTunes Match on the computer (not that I only have iTunes Match on my comuter - I do NOT have it on my iPhone 4S - I am hard syncing), or the combination.
So if are you using iTuns 10.5.1 and / or iTunes Match on you computer, can you test this? BTW - I'm on Windows 7.

After iOS 5 update, speaker not working

I updated to i05s last night and tried to make a call this morning and could not hear out of the ear speaker. The "speaker-phone" feature works, but that's the only way I can hear because I can't hear anything when I hold the phone to my ear.

Hi Guys, I FIXED IT!!!!
I have post eariler on another forum and I have the same problem, I have tried all the things listed here and nothing was perminant in fixing this painful iphone hating problem.... and failed. But I need to happily say that I now have the fix!!!! This worked for me and I fixed it by myself so you don't need to go to apple or service centre or anything.
Ok I like so many of you here truly believed this was as IO5 issue as it only dropped the sound on the speakers once that IO5 update came along. I tried a bunch of reset, reboots, home clicks, lock and unlocks, to fix this and all failed. some worked for an hour but then failed. hours of my life that I will never get back.   but since I have learnt this is not a IO5 problem but a hardware issue! ... and in paticualar is has to do with your bottom connection. Your phone is thinking it is docked all the time.
To fix the no sound problem what you need is...
1. a torch
2. a tooth brush
3. methalated spirits
4. a butter knife
Step 1.
get your torch and shine it down the bottom connection plate to see what kind of dust, sand, hair or anything you have stuck in there.   all that need to be removed! everything! it might look clean but still thats ok go to step 2.
step 2.
Turn on your music app and put the speakers on! If your phone is like mine it should not work. you most probably don't even have the volume display to turn it on but its ok, just do it! and it should still play with no sound.   its important you try and run the speakers as this will show you that it is a hardware problem.
step 3.
Dip your tooth brush into some methated sprits.   then at your sink tap the exess metho out of your brush as you just want the brushes to be slightly damp, not soaking wet and then scrub the bottom connetiors on your iphone. work the brush back and forward in a way that scoops the dirt out of the phone, not just pushing it side to side.
(As you bushing you should notice the volume bar come back on or off as you scub.   This happened to me and that is how I realised I was on the right track to fixing this problem as I was doing something external that was actually controling when the volume display came on or off.   but once I cleaned it this still didn't fix the problem...)
Step 4.
Use the back side of a butter knife (not the sharp side) to gently slide over the connectors on the iphone. Do this gently as you are only pushing down on the tiny metal contect bars and you should notice the volume display come on again. slide it back and forward. Now the area of interest is about 2/3 along the connection plate to the right.   This is the area that has the infomation sent when your iphone thinks its docked.
This has worked for me and I have not had a problem since I did this 2 weeks ago.   I have since learnt that the new IOS 5 has activated a different part of the bottom conectors. if you have been using dodgy connectors or unapproved apple cables (as I was) any damage or hair and dirt on the terminal this is effecting it. Try it.   just remember if you can do something external to your phone then there lies the problem.
Hope this works for your phone as it did for mine.
Cheers

IOS 6 update = Speaker not working properly

My speaker was fine and I have no reason to believe there are any hardware issues. As soon as I updated my iOS 5.1.1 to the new iOS 6 it stopped working and now I can't listen to music or watch videos on my iPhone unless I insert a headphone!
What's happened and how can this be resolved?

Experiencing similar problems with both me and my wife's iPhone 4S's. My phone's speaker was muffled until I played a song, then it seemed to work ok. My wife's will not work at all except for when you adjust sound settings (e.g. changing the alert sound). Then it works only during the "test" and reverts back to its broken state.
P.S. And yes, I've rebooted both numerous times. This has no obvious affect.

IOS 6 update speaker not working?

Coincidence? I think not. So many others having the same problem since their update. I can't afford a new phone right now and no longer under warranty. Seems scammy to me. Thanks a lot Apple. I used to be a big supporter. I am so frustrated with this and can't figure out how to go back to last update. I am angry about this

IOS 6 update - iMessage not working

Anyone else having trouble with the iMessage after updating to iOS 6?
I updating Wednesday morning and after my bf updated too I can't send iMessage to him. It doesn't come up delivered and he doesn't receive them. Can anyone help me?
Another update needed to fix this apple!!!

I got mine to work. I rebooted the phone, deleted the previous string of messages from my GF, went in through contacts, selected her again, sent her a message... the first went out as a text then she responded and iMessage is working again.
You may not have to delete the string. I just did it to break and reset the link.
Hope this helps.

Ok so I use an hdmi connector on my iPhone 4S to watch netflix. But after I updated to iOS 7 it will not work my tv doesn't receive a signal. Does anyone have any insure to this please help .!.!.

Ok so I use an hdmi connector on my iPhone 4S to watch netflix. But after I updated to iOS 7 it will not work my tv doesn't receive a signal. Does anyone have any insure to this please help .!.!.

The 8 pin Lightning connector can only output 720p and lacks all iPod Out functionality unlike the full iPod Out functionality and 1080p that the 30 pin connector has and I suspect that they are coding iOS 7 specifically for the new devices which have severely reduced abilities and perhaps skipping adding the code needed for 30 pin devices to use their functionality with HDMI, etc.

TS1538 Ios 5.1.1 update did not work

The update did not work. I downloaded the udpate last night, through ITunes and did the update this afternoon.
The phone hung during the update, and now only shows the connect to itunes on the screen. Itunes does not see the phone.
When I look in the device manager, I see the drives listed in the Other Devices, and there are two of them listed as "Apple Mobile Device (Recovery Mode) Tried to update them, but the dirives are no longer on my pc, where Apple said that they should be.
I am clueless now.
The last update had a simular problem.
This is an IPhone 4

Then you should try uninstalling iTunes and all of its components as by following this guide: Windows XP or Windows Vista/7, then reinstall iTunes. This should replace the drivers. You must follow this guide exactly or it will not be successful. Note: uninstalling iTunes will only remove the application; it will not touch your iTunes library, data or your iPhone backup.

Windows update does not work after using System recovery disk

I have a Toshiba Satellite c655 with WIndows 7 64 bit Home premium. The hard drive died on it, so I purchased a new hard drive and purchased the appropriate Recovery media from Toshiba. I followed the directions and installed the 3 disks on to the new hard drive. But Windows update does not work I get the following error: Windows update can not currently check for updates, because the service is not running. You may need to restart your PC    No matter what I try, I can not get it to work. And it will not let me install Windows Defender either. Any ideas or help would be appreciated. Thank you in advance for your time on this matter.
Solved!

Safari is not working on the Mac. Internet is fine, mail, App Store etc all working and connecting to Internet fine. Done the latest software update, still not working. When selecting a web address from bookmarks or typing in search bar, partial blue bar.

Safari is not working on the Mac. Internet is fine. mail, App Store etc all working and connecting to Internet fine. Done the latest software update, still not working. When selecting a web address from bookmarks or typing in search bar, partial blue bar only and coloured wheel appears.

From the Safari menu bar, select
Safari ▹ Preferences ▹ Extensions
Turn all extensions OFF and test. If the problem is resolved, turn extensions back ON and then disable them one or a few at a time until you find the culprit.
If you wish, you may be able to salvage the malfunctioning extension by uninstalling and reinstalling it. That will revert its settings to the defaults.
If extensions aren't causing the problem, see below.

After creating a new self-signed certificate in SBS 2008 wizard we get the following error:

There is a world of information in these forums if you use the search function near the top right of this page. Just type in NAS for example and you get many threads on the subject (marked with a green checkmark if it solved the question) another example would be Airport Exterme and sound system. Once you formulate your ideas better then specific questions can be addressed one at a time. You may find that a less expensive choice for a server might be a mac mini. Good luck with your project, ask more specific questions and update you systems profile.
