IOS 7.0.6 disaster, new phone/ipad but

Hi,
Had all the same issues as everyone else with my phone4 and ipad2 bricking so have had to reinstall as new phone/ipads - the backups were corrupt of wont work so that means I lost all the games data for my daughter....thanks apple...did you now test this update before sending it out? Really hard not to notice my windows phone that i use for work that is simpler and keeps on working....anyway.
Now, with effectively new phones they are actually faster...an interesting point to note. however, icloud is now all buggy and only loading half of my contacts and no diary.....if you haven't udated this then DONT. If you have and have some advice that can help me that would be much appreciated.

Philly:
When there is an iOS update available, iTunes asks if you want to install it. I chose to only download the iOS 7.0.6 update, but not to install it until I had done a backup of everything on my iPad. When that iOS 7.0.6 update failed, I had NO iOS at all, just a bricked iPad.
When my son did a "clean restore" that was the same thing you'd do to wipe an iPad - just install iOS 7.0.6 and install basic iPad apps. When you turn the iPad on after that, it indicates it wants to be connected to iTunes. At that point, my son yanked the cord so nothing else was installed. Then, with iOS 7.0.6 already installed, iTunes on my PC didn't say it wanted to update iOS, and allowed me to choose my previous backup to be restored. All was straightforward after that.
Again, there are places on he web where you can download various versions of iOS, along with a PC utility that will do the iOS update. I think these utilities are for when you want to hack your device, so I'm not crazy about this approach.

HT1386 I have an older iPhone (3gs) and need to upgrade to a newer phone (4S). I need to get my NOTES, CALENDAR, CONTACTS, PICTURES, etc backed up on iTunes so I can get that data loaded onto the new phone. But not sure how to do that.

I have an older iPhone (3gs) and need to upgrade to a newer phone (4S). I need to get my NOTES, CALENDAR, CONTACTS, PICTURES, etc backed up on iTunes so I can get that data loaded onto the new phone. But not sure how to do that. When I open iTunes it has a button that say "Back Up iPhone", but I'm not sure what that does. When I go into the sync options it say I have another user account and asks me if I want to merge of replace. I'm assuming it's trying to tell me I have an older iTunes Library, but don't know that. Geez, maybe people over 60 shouldn't have iPhones, iTunes just bafles me.

One of my favorite things about developing for iOS using Xcode is the Simulator. It runs any of the iOS devices simulated right on your Mac. If you don't have a hardware device to test your application on, the Xcode simulator will surely be your best friend.
So to answer your question less vaguely, yes. You can own the iPhone 5s and develop for the 6. There is no real release information of the iPhone 6 at the time anyways, so I would not let it play too large of a factor in your decision.

I signed up for the edge program and need to send back my old phone. The instructions say I need to put it in the edge bag provided with my new phone order, but no bag is in the box. Can I get one at a store? Please respond!!

ITunes showing albums out of order iOS 7 - iTunes showing nothing not on iPad but have to download by each album

I really didn't think they could screw up iTunes more but it seems they have. It seems that iTunes is the one branch of the Apple tree that has been left to run ragged and alienate customers at will. Design, Marketing, Support and Stores still seem to be the same Apple and functioning in a way to grow as well as retain customer base. iTunes - not so much.
All albums showing out of track order on iPad now - this is a real treat for live concert albums especially. I will note that this is the case for both albums purchased from iTunes as well as copies of CDs I had already purchased and ripped but fixed their titles to sync with iTunes versions (that's another bone to pick that there should be a simple way to tell iTunes yes this is that album - so the in the store function works and album art is simply facilitated - they loose sales daily from the inability to hit in the store for CDs that you ripped from your purchased copies but that impulsive purchase that iTunes makes millions from is lost because most people do not spend the sometimes hours to link them back in)
How do I fix this?
iTunes Store shows no purchases not on the iPad but I have to download album by album because they aren't there.
How do I fix this?
iTunes regularly forgetting album art?
How do I fix this?
I get the aesthetic that they were going with for iOS 7, and in most cases I think it works. iTunes is a mess. While yes I did like the visual album flip that has now been removed completely (but used in other ways or at least the style is now your safari pages on mobile) but the white is way too much most especially in the case of "currently playing" changing that mode from a great visual leaving the iPad playing playlists to an incredibly nasty stark light fixture. I do understand the design decision to make album covers appear smaller so that their retina screens are looking their best but I am hoping there is a way to chance the background in this mode. If not it has become completely useless to me and I am sure many others.
How do I fix this? Can I fix this?

I ended up fixing my issue. The problem was the fact that some of the songs in an album were marked as part of a compilation, but some were not. iTunes seems to be less strict about grouping things in albums, so I never really noticed it.
However, this, combined with the fact that I could not update the metadata after the song is added to iCloud resulted in me changing the metadata on the computer, only to have it reset when I updated Match. I solved the problem by deleted everything from iCloud and rematching it, but only after I had corrected the compilation issue.
So, if you are havng the same issue, delete and readd everything to iCloud. I deleted everything from a second PC (that had no locally stored files) and then rematched from my laptop (where iTunes asked whether I wanted to add to iCloud, keep the song, or delete it. Choose "Add to iCloud" to rematch).

HT4059 I bought a book from Apple and it went on my new mini ipad but doesn't seem to want to download on my other ipad even though it is trying and says downloading.

I just downloaded a book on my new ipad mini. I have tried to put it on my big ipad but to o avail. It tries to, and says it is downloading but never finishes. I can't get it on my itouch either and that is fairly new. I did get it on my computer with no problem. It is a multi media book with paintings from MOMA and some audio for some paintings. What do I have to do? I even deleted it one time to start over.

If he downloaded it on his iPad then it should have gone into the Music app - when their are audiobooks on an iPad then an Audiobooks option should appear on the More button at the bottom of the Music app. If he downloaded it on his computer's iTunes then it will have downloaded into the Books part of his iTunes library and he will need to sync it to his iPad via its Books tab (audiobooks are one-time only downloads, so he should take a backup copy of it).

Have recently upgraded to iPhone 6 with iOS 8. Microsoft exchange works on iPad but not iPhone. Details incorrect password but pw fine. any thoughts. Think is active sync issue

i prefer the ME interface to gmail and want to use push

Annoying glitches since IOS 8 + the update have rendered my iPad Air nearly unusable.....way too frustrating & annoying with many glitches plus some functions just go way too slow or even worse - don't kick in at all.....necessitating a reboot.....(especially with sending emails.....need to power down / power up to get emails to be sent way too often)......stopped by the apple store the other day.....they did their "thing" ( a reset + whatever)......told me I was now good to go & all problems should have been solved / fixed......was in a rush, so didn't really test the fix until later in the day.....same problems remained....no fix whatsoever.....
some videos in various "formats" won't play now......keyboard disappears while doing almost every "google" search.....the list of glitches goes on & on.....apple & I part ways now unless this is resolved soon.....will stop by the store one more time over the weekend & give them 1 more chance....& will "test" it in the store this time before believing whatever they say & leaving......also, never happened before - an incoming facetime call was never received the other day......my friend sent a screenshot of her history of calls to show that she tried when I said that I had not missed any calls......

New to ipad but have charged it and done what I think should be done however the time shows about 8 hours wrong but find my ipad is on???

the new ipad is set as icloud find my ipad but the clock is 8 hours wrong help please

Hi, to change the time and/or date go into Settings, general, Date & Time. From here you have the option to "set automatically", if you turn this off a third option will appear where you can manually set the time and date. Hope this helps.

Can get a new phone upgrade, but where are my options?

hey all. I've been a consistent Verizon customer since 2006 and I've never had a problem....until now. I currently have the Motorola W755 (purple) phone and it is/was a pretty good phone. I like the capabilities it has, but lately, it's just not been as good as it used to be. I've been checking the online store for a 'plain and boring' phone but I also don't want to 'downgrade' to something similar to what I had BEFORE the Motorola. Seems to me, all the phones that Verizon will offer are either crap phones with 3 or less stars, decent phones with no camera option or a multi-media/smart phone where you have to pay extra to use it. I currently have a $50 off discount and on top of the 'buy online' and the 'new every 2' program, I can pretty much get a phone for free, but nothing seems worth it to me.
Im on a seriously fixed income and CANNOT pay even the extra $10 monthly fee for a data package. This cuts my phone options down to either a phone with 2 or 2.5 stars with a camera or a phone with 4-5 stars with NO camera. All I want is a flip (clam shell) phone that I can use to text, make calls and occasionally take a picture with. I'm not a fan of the slider, qwerty phones or the touch screen phones.
I guess just a vent..Wondering if anyone else has had this issue? What have you done, if anything, to rectify it? I even looked at the prices to switch to AT&T earlier today....

If you need to use your NE2 credit to afford a new phone, you can see your choices on the Verizon site. If you can't afford data, your choice is to choose a Feature phone or continue to use your current model. You could always wait for a while and hope that Verizon releases a new "Feature" phone that meets your needs.

BRAND NEW PHONE NOTHING BUT A MESS HELP ME PLEASE

After charging my iPhone (Brand new 16GB 3GS) I go to sync it to my computer. My computer makes the 'ding' noise it does when you plug a USB in but it does it again immediately after.
I FOLLOWED APPLE'S **** INSTRUCTIONS AND I GET THIS:
Below is an example of the full error message this document relates to as given in Microsoft Windows XP.
The software you are installing for this hardware:
<device/driver name>
has not passed Windows Logo testing to verify its compatibility with Windows XP. (Tell me why this testing is important.)
Continuing your installation of this software may impair or destabilize the correct operating of your system either immediately or in the future. Microsoft strongly recommends that you stop this installation now and contact the hardware vendor for software that has passed Windows Logo testing.
*** am I going to do?! Help me please! I spent so much money on this phone for this?!

I get that error ocassionally at the college where I work when we plug USB drives into the workstations. It is an XP error you sometimes get with newer hardware. You can select continue anyway, but I agree with the above poster to check and make sure you have the latest version of iTunes as it has all the latest drivers for the phones. That should solve your issue.

I have bought new apple iPad but I don't know how to verify my Apple ID can you please help me

I Have bought new apple I pad but I don't know how to verify it can you please help me

When you create an iTunes account you should receive an email to the primary email address that you put on the account - that email should have a 'verify now' link in it which you need to click on and which will open a browser for you to log into your account from.
From Frequently asked questions about Apple ID :
How do I verify my Apple ID by email?
Simply follow the link in the verification email that says "Verify Now." Sign in with your current Apple ID and password, then click Verify Address. You can also verify by signing in at My Apple ID. You'll receive an email prompting you to verify.
(For info these are user-to-user forums, you are not talking to iTunes Support nor Apple, nor is it 'live chat' - a fellow user will reply when they see a question and they know the answer.)

HT201263 I have had a new I phone 5s and am trying to update from i cloud but new phone is telling me it needs an update to ios 7.1.1. How do you do this,

My phone saying 'no icloud backups are compatible with the version (ios 7.0.6) on this phone. But doesnt explain how to get the new update.
Hoped/expectyed it would update automatically but sadly not

It sounds like the iPhone setup is asking if you'd like to restore from an iCloud backup, and the Apple ID being used does not contain any backups which are compaible.
If you tap "Back" on the top left, choose to "Set up as new phone" and then attempt to update. Once the update is completed you might be able to restore from a backup if you have one.
If your iOS backup is from an updated/later version than what the iPhone is on, this may cause problems.

HT201269 how can i transfer my icloud back up to a new phone when it doesnt have the new update

how can i transfer my icloud backup to a new phone it keeps saying it doesnt have the ios 7 on it

On the new phone, Settings App > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings. When it is done it will ask if you want to Restore From iCloud Backup, pick this.
