IOS 5 workaround?? Neebie needs help testing a theory

Hello, please excuse my ignorance in advance, but I need help with the installation of iOS 5. I know coutless users have been having issues downloading iOS 5 since it's release however I'm glad to say that the download wasn't an issue with me. My problem is that the back up process was taking an insanely long time. So I saw a tweet this evening that suggested doing a restore on my iPhone 4 back to factory settings and then restoring it from a back up. Well I figured this could possibly work since I just backed up my phone a few days ago. When I did the restore back to factory settings iOS 5 was installed however my question is when I restore using the backup that I did a few days ago (which I am doing now) will my phone be rolled back to the iOS that I had installed previously or will iOS 5 remain?
Thanks,
Lee

    Thank you for the answers so far, but I'll make one correction: I said earlier that the Boston Globe website, boston.com, does not have a mobile site, and I would need to visit their regular website on my iPhone. Actually, I just found out that boston.com has a mobile site, so I'd obviously use that instead of the regular site. By doing that, I'd save a ton of data (I think). Does that change your answers?

  • Need Help testing iOS app created in Flash Pro Cs5.5

    I've followed several instructions on how to develop a simple iOS app. I've managed to go all the way through and Publish + create the .ipa. I'm able to then add the file to my iTunes library, but when I then try to add it to my iPod Touch (2nd Generation) I get the following error:
    The app "XXXXXX" was not installed on the iPod "XXXXX's Ipod" because it is not compatible with this iPod.
    I've even tried it with a simple "Hello World!" app but I get the same error.
    I'm using Flash Pro Cs5.5 on a Windows PC.
    Any suggestions?

    I'm having the exact same problem with my iphone 3G. I tried publishing the exact same simple flash app to my iphone, which I already previously tested succesfully, after having downloaded flash 5.5, and now I get the following message (which, I believe, is identical to yours kinant87) :
    "The app "Main" was not installed on the iPhone "Norgaard" because it is not compatible with this iPhone."
    I was trying to make another small app, when I got this problem, which is why I went back to re-test the app I knew was working!
    I've reinstalled all my apple certificates, and also tried using flash builder 4.5, with the same result.
    I also have not jail broken my phone, and was starting to think perhaps the iPhone 3G was no longer supported?

    Hi Saumitra Bhava,
    Nice examples of Native Extensions. I am having an issue when trying to use a block in Objective-c Something as simple as
    - (void) searchForAlbums
        void(^test)(void) = ^{
            NSLog( @"BLOCK CALLED" );           
        test();
    does not work and FlashBuilder reports the following error.

  • Duplicated battery drain problems...need help testing.

    I purchased an 80g classic about two weeks ago. The last 3 mornings I woke to find the battery completely dead. Last night I listened to a song or 2 and then pressed the stop button to turn it off. After reading other post I decided to put my ear to the back of the iPod and sure enough the hard drive was throttling at what sounded like full speed. This got the best of me so I spent about an hour messing around and this is what was noticed.
    When launching music from Cover Flow, the hard drive throttles fast the whole time while music is playing causing the battery to drain in a short time. If you launch your music from albums or by artist you will hear the hard drive throttle for about 6 to 8 seconds then go silent. This is the way it should operate.
    Next problem was the battery draining overnight while turned off. This was found simply by launching again from Cover Flow. Launch an album then turn off after song starts. You will notice that the hard drive continues to run very fast until the battery is completely drained. If you go back into menus before shutting down it will turn off properly. Again this does not occur when launching by albums or artists.
    Cover flow = battery drain and this should have been found buy Apple before releasing to the public. It would be nice if someone from Apple would comment.
    I have version 1.0.2 loaded and can’t go back to test version 1.0.1. What I am trying to figure out is this hardware or software. My guess is software but if I can’t get a good feeling about this soon the iPod is getting returned.
    Can anyone help in testing this out, launch from Cover Flow and put your ear to the back of your iPod…listen for about 15 seconds, does the hard drive continue to turn fast? When turning off in Cover Flow, does the hard drive stay on?
    Please post results and software version, thanks.

    I have a Classic 160. With 1.0.1 I had few issues. I was mostly happy, but nervous about all the issues I read in these postings. Only problems I noticed with 1.0.1 were Cover Flow was a bit slow and high rez photos would not show up in manual mode. (But there's no excuse for that is there?) Syncing and battery life were fine. Then I installed 1.0.2. Cover flow works nice and smooth, but I too woke up to a completely drained battery even though I shut the unit down. With 1.0.1 battery seemed to last forever. Now the hard drive stays on after shutting off unit. I found the only way to turn it off is by rebooting the Classic - holding down menu and centre button. For $399 Canadian dollars I am very very disgusted with Apple. Why should a consumer have to constantly check the internet for discussions and updates? And the biggest joke of all is the Apple website offers NO ADVICE, but lets their consumers do all the problem solving for them. Amazing attitude. What's wrong with being upfront and honest that the new iPods have issues? What about the person who can't surf the web all the time for answers? Their Apple iPod purchase becomes a paperweight. My 2 gig keychain MP3 player worked better than this junk. I wish I never bought the thing. For a company like Apple to let the consumer figure out the issues is just not right. Where is firmware 1.0.3????

  • Need help testing a package.

    I recently adopted yed, and I have made an updated PKGBUILD for it (along with other minor changes). But when I build and run it, I get a blank dialog box (using openjdk6 and also tried jre). Can anyone test it? http://www.filedropper.com/yed-342-1srctar I didn't upload to the aur since I don't want people with a working older copy to lose the ability to use yed.

    It smells like a classpath problem. Post a sample of the code you are testing, the package statement in particular and the directory structure where the .class files are.

  • Hi, my ipod 5th gen is stuck in recovery mode because i tried to get the ios 7 on it and now i just want it back to it regular ios i please need help

    hi my ipod 5th gen is stuck in recovery mode ive tried everything and nothing is working

    Only developers have access to the iOS 7 beta and then also have access to the developer forum. Thus, if you are a developer go the the developer's forum.
    Otherwise you have a bootleg coy of iOS 7 and are on your own.
    PSA: iOS 7 If you're not a developer, don't install developer betas on your iPhone | TUAW - The Unofficial Apple Weblog

  • There are times 5s lagging very bad after I update the IOS 7.03, need help

    Before I update to  my IOS 7.03, I don't have this problem before.  But now, once in a while my phone is lagging very bad, not sure of why.  But it will goes away after a while. Anybody else having the same problem? 
    It happens most of time during log in.  It's impossible to use the finger print log in when lagging; and when type in passcode, letter sometime take 1 second to respond on screen.

    Basics from the user guide are restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as new. Try each step in order until your problem is solved.

  • Need help-test, from Air 2013 owners, just 10 sec.

    Please kindly try/check if you can download Mountain Lion (if you bought it before, have license) in App store.
    This information is absolutely essential to determine if the issue I am having  applies only to my Air or more (or all 2013 Airs)
    When I click on "download" get the "Mountain Lion is not compatible with this computer" which is absurd since this Air runs on ML.
    Apple Care second tier consulted developers and told me that this behaviour is not normal and indicates rare case of corrupt original factory installation, which might happened one in thousands, and that I should erase Macintosh HDD and install fresh. I did it yet it did not fix the issue.
    Air does not recognise installation USB stick, neither boots form external drive with standard OSX Mountain Lion (both work perfectly with my MBP)
    Thanks in advance to Air 2013 owners who could take 20 sec of their time and click on download Mountain Lion in their App store
    There are 2 possibilities:
    1. something is wrong with my particular machine
    2. Air 2013 ( all of them) dont not use standard OSX but some sort of ML OSX customised to 2013 hardware.

    The game changed regarding Apple Care at least in Europe. The 1 year limit was not legal and since some time there is the note about 2 years warranty on the Apple website and when you call Apple Care there is always recorded announcment about it. Seems like another win for consumers not allowing corporations to do as they please. I suppose it was EU commision that forced Apple to do it.
    I am questioning sense of buying Apple Care based on this current experience - I am getting, correct information here, from users 2 out of 3 posts while none of Apple Care support team - 3 individuals from 1 tier and 2 from 2nd tier provided me with such information. Contrary, they made me waste hours, actually 2 days testing, experimenting absolutely for nothing. The bluff - telling me that (2nd tier) actually consulted developers who told him that my installation is corrupt is outrageous.
    Fazit: any hardware failure is covered with 2 years warranty (at least in European Community). Software issues- you can get faster and more competent response here and other internet sources. So is it really worth 250 Euros for just one year extra warranty. Since I like to update the hardware every 2 years, I am not sure.
    Stupid advices are available free world over even without Apple Care or any internets.

  • How do I choose a specific version of IOS?  I'm doing app testing and I need to test a version other than what iTunes provides as the latest

    I am testing applications and I want to run an IOS version that is not the latest version offered by iTunes.  ex: Plug in my iPod Touch and the latest version of IOS being offered in the update option is version 4.2.  I need to test v4.1.  How can I download and downgrade my device?

    Downgrading iOS is not supported by Apple. You may find workarounds on other web sites if you do a web search for such information, e.g. "downgrade iOS". You can links to Apple's direct downloads for iOS 4.1 here, among other places:
    http://www.redmondpie.com/download-ios-4.1-final-version-for-iphone-4-3gs-3g-ipo d-touch/
    though there are no guarantees as to how long Apple will continue to have those available.

  • Apple AND Microsoft techs stumped; workarounds impractical. I need help.

    I've got one that techs at Apple and MS have so far been unable to resolve, except with workarounds that aren't really practical.
    The problem I'm going to describe happened first in Office v.X. Not knowing where those discs were to reinstall even if I wanted to, I went out today and bought Office 2004. After installing the new software and downloading all the updates, the problem didn't go away.
    Here's what happens, and it only happens with Word and Excel. I can open both programs. The menu bars for each show up across the top. However, the document or spreadsheet window is not there. It simply isn't on the desk top. It isn't "spaced" away. It's not hidden (I've tried turning on and off the hide window, and nothing happens). I can even minimize the window through the drop down menus, and a document or spreadsheet icon will show up in the dock.
    What I've done with the techs:
    Created a second administrator account. The programs work well in that account. The workaround would be then to migrate all of my 250 gigs of info to that new account, and discard the prior admin account. Whatever is affecting the operation of the MS programs could possibly migrate as well.
    MS techs had me delete all of the preferences and the Normal template for the MS programs. Nothing changes.
    Reinstall Office 2004. This was a time waster, as the problem existed before the initial installation of Office 2004. Reinstalling it didn't eliminate whatever conflict was happening.
    I put an Excel file into my shared folder, and was able to open it successfully in the second admin account I created.
    The MS techs had me do a Safe Boot, and that seemed to solve the problem once I restarted in a regular configuration. Except that the document and spread sheet windows disappeared after being open for about 10 minutes.
    Please note: The applications are opening, and "believe" that the documents I opened are indeed there. I can even see the info in each spreadsheet cell in the menu bar. It's just that there's no document window. It's not behind my desk top. It's not hidden. It's not spaced. It just isn't there.
    I need help please.
    Has this happened to anyone else? Is there another place I should look for conflicting files or glitches? I really don't want a workaround. These two programs should work seamlessly with Leopard.

    Obviously you have an incompatibility with some previously installed software. Since Office works with a 'virgin' account the problem isn't system wide. It's likely confined to the ~/Library folder tree. So you can start the slow and tedious process of moving files from <badaccount>/Library/* to <goodaccount>/Library/* in a systematic way. After you move a folder, launch and test Word. Then move more folders over. Launch and test again.
    Eventually you will break <goodaccount> and the last folder you moved is likely to be the culprit.

  • Ok so I updated to iOS 7 on my iPod (5th) it let me update my apps but I cannot download new apps thanks to the terms and conditions. Also my iTunes won't start it just blank, I tried everything I need help

       Did you download the new iTunes update that was also released this afternoon? That might be the problem. The new iTunes update came out today as well as the new iOS 7 update and if you haven't downloaded the new iTunes update it may be a compatibility problem so if you didn't, first update to the new iTunes and try again.
