IOS 6 Buggy and Slow hot to downgrade.
i recently updated to IOS6 the yesterday and it it running really slow on my iphone 4s also the phone is hot when running apps. maps is not working properly and text messages are failing and talking a long time to send/recive.icalled apple to be told they do not support downgrading and to take my phone in the store and see what they can do.i went into the store they said the hardware is fine it seems like its just ios6 causing the problem they told me warranty does not cover software issues and said they cant do anyhting about it they said to wait for ios6 to be updated or to downgrade using a 3rd party software but they then said if i downgrade i lose my warranty.so im stuck with a phone that is not working properly and apple refuses to do anything about it what should i do?
Well we can't tell you how to downgrade or attempt to downgrade as it's not supported by Apple.
My sugguestion, if they havn't already suggested it, is to back up the device and set up as a new device to see if that clears out any software issues that may have been caused when updating.

I just upgraded my 2008 macbook pro to OS X Maverick from Snow Leopard but my computer is running a bit buggy and slow. How do I downgrade back down to snow leopard?
You would reinstall 10.6 using your installation DVD.
Out of curiosity, how much RAM do you have? Recent versions of OS X really shine with 4GB or more.

I am having poblems with my N96. Its soooooooo slow. Its so hard to play music. When i press the centre navi wheel key to play a track the highlighted line moves up or down randomly to another song but wont play the song i have asked for. It keeps freezing. Its slow through the menu's. I have reset it twice. Its sim free. But about 6 months old. Does anyone have any suggestions? I was thinking about reinstalling the FW but then i will have to redo all my 100's and 100's of music tracks again.
Its not who i am underneath. But what i do that defines me.

Think a full reset may be your best option,
Yes it will take time to reinstall, but it should solve your problems

Macbook Pro AMD 6750m buggy and slow.
The specs of 6750m look descent, but the performance is terrible, buggy with applications and buggy with multiple monitors. Netflix crawls like a slide show. Is this a driver, firmware or hardware problem? Even worse under OS X then Windows.
Is there a fix for either OS X or Windows?
Is AMD or Apple even working on this?
The AMD 6770m is basically the same GPU, so I am assuming support is still active for this hardware.
Really disappointed at a laptop that costs $3000.Also review this article:
http://thexlab.com/faqs/maintscripts.html
about the OSX maintenance scripts. They will run automatically, but only if the computer is on and not sleeping in the wee hours of the morning local time. Most people don't leave the computer awake all night so the scripts may never run.
I found that running them manually (as detailed in the article) helps make the system feel faster. You build up a lot of extra files over time and the scripts help "clean house."
Check you free space on the hard drive. If it's too full, OSX's virtual memory will force more drive access to write its swap files. I like to keep at least 10-15 percent free--more is better.

1 - All Faces interactions are unusably slow. Confirming, Add Missing Faces, selecting to move or name face frames.
2 - Found the same person twice in the same picture.
4 - Keeps missing the same person in a set of portrait photos (same outfit, lighting. Faces forward)
5 - No way (I could figure) to undo a face that the system was sure of that is wrong. Have to delete the face frame.
6 - In Faces the confirmed thumbnails are the completely wrong pictures though when you select them the full view is correct.
7 - Thumbnails in many Events are distorted/squashed.
8 - In Info window (off i icon) for Events selecting a Place doesn't stick. Start typing, menu comes up. Click on selection. Field still empty.
9 - Some images can't be rotated.
10 - Places is confusing and difficult to add new places.As I’m sure you recall from your careful reading of the Terms of Service you agreed to when you joined the Apple Discussions, this is a User to User forum. Apple aren’t here. They don’t promise to read anything here.
So iPhoto menu -> Provide iPhoto Feedback is the route to go with this.
However, items 6 and 7, 8 and 9 sound like issues with your Library rather than iPhoto. I have no difficulty adding locations to Events or rotating pics.
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the apple and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild.

The latest Power Manager v2.30 has a few problems. The program now takes twice as long to load during startup. This considerably slows the entire startup process. Also, the program creates a file named "ATMdump.txt" in the documents folder. Unfortunately, the file cannot be easily deleted. Even if the file is deleted through safe mode, the file regenerates itself during startup. You would think the program should use a hidden temp folder as a dump location. Oh well.

Solved!
Go to Solution.go to document folder via cmd (admin):
type: ATTRIB +S +H ATMdump.txt
it would make file system an hidden, so it wont bother....(you wont see it)...
I agree is stupid location.. Nowadays everybody can code programs....

WHen I first installed iOS 6 the App Store crashes...and now having iOS 6 for 2 weeks now, all my apps are buggy and now are crashing! Safari and built in apps are becoming slow and crash. I hate how apple leaves iPod touch 4g and iPhone 4 in the dark and basically force us to upgrade to newer devices. Apple could of done better with the update and needs to resolve these issues.
Try:
- Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.
Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
The App store crashing is a known problem.

I recently upgraded my three year old ipad to IOS 8 and it's working very slow and sometimes freezes. Can I go back to the old system?
No, downgrading the iOS version is not supported by Apple.
You could see if any of the following improve things :
- closing apps via the iPad's taskbar : iOS: Force an app to close.
- if having problems with Safari, clearing its history and data : Settings > Safari
- soft-reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
- backing up (and copying any purchases over to your computer's iTunes library via File > Devices > Transfer Purchases) and restoring
- adjusting settings e.g. turning 'reduce motion' on (Settings > General > Accessibility), turning off 'background app refresh (Settings > General), turn off multitasking gestures (Settings > General)
- resetting back to factory defaults (after copying off purchases and any documents, photos etc that you want to keep) and then resyncing it back -

I just upgraded my 4s to iOS 7, and it is getting too hot
Hi guys, I just upgraded my iPhone, to the latest iOS, and as soon as I tested the new version, I noticed an abnormal heat on the back of the phone, and on the right side. When I lock it down, it chills again, but when I unlock it it starts overheating again. It is a little worrying, inasmuch as it never happened to me while using iOS 6, and also that I can't downgrade it back, so my phone may be losing lifetime. I would thank your kind support.
I've noticed mine is really hot too when being used and charged since the upgrade. My battery life has also been cut in half. As well as flashing blue boxes on my screen. I've only had this phone for 5 months!

I've have my iPhone 4s for about a year now, and up until when the iOS 7 update was released, I never had any problems with it. I still haven't updated my phone, though. I prefer the interface that comes with iOS 6, and in my opinion it's easier to use. But, since the new software updates have come out, my phone has been unable to connect to local internet servers (when it does, the internet doesn't work) and it has run slower, even freezing in the middle of use of apps such as Snapchat and Instagram. Now, I'm faced with another problem altogether (because I could deal with slight delays and no internet before.)
Now my phone overheats a lot. It's really concerning how often it happens. Before, it would only overheat if I used it for multiple hours on end, which was rare. Now, it overheats while charging, if I used any app with a camera, or even just while sitting there. I don't understand what's happening.
I do wonder, is all of this because I haven't updated to iOS 7? Or do I just need to replace my phone?
I'd prefer not updating, but if my phone would run more efficiently on iOS 7, I will.
I've heard that the update caused quite a bit of trouble for 4s users when they updated the first time, and I'm concerned that if my phone experiences that trouble, the situation will only get worse.
So should I update? Is the problem due to the fact that I haven't updated? Or is it something else entirely?
Thanks in advance for any help.Any update will cause problems for a few users. And those users will rush here and post "the sky is falling" stories about their experience. The 99.99% of people who have no problems after an update won't bother to post here; indeed, most of them don't even know ASC exists. FWIW, I had no problems with iOS 7 on my 4S. Your problem is most likely not related to iOS 6, but you should probably update anyway.

IOS 7 Calendar and Slow Animations
Are the two biggest fail on iOS 7.
Slow animations:
-opening folders
-locking phone
-unlockng phone
-closing folders
-search bar
-swiping left and right has to be very accurate now because of the swipe down for search engine
Calendar:
Why am I restricted to this view? I want to be able to view the entire calendar so I can see what's head and plan for it like the simplistic version of iOS 6 calendar. They completed blotched this calendar.Agreed. The animations make me dizzy and hurt my eyes, also makes the iphone laggy and sluggish. The new Calendar app now is unusable for me, all of my shared calendars are overlapping each other and make it almost impossible to understand at a quick glance - please bring back the old month view and list view.
