IOS 7 bug - cannot revert to simple passwords on iPad

I changed my password on the iPad to a alphanumeric. Now when trying to change back to a simple password, as soon as I flip the switch to "simple" in preferences, the whole preferences pane crashes. Can anyone else get this to repeat or has experienced this? Can't figure out how to report to Apple. Hopefully they'll release a bug fix update soon.

Well, I reset my modem, which is a unified modem covering my TV, phone and internet. Previously my cell phone was connected to the home network, but this morning it also failed to connect. So I reset the modem from Time Warner and the system is working.
Thanks to all the thoughts of support.

My password lock cannot be turned off (button is greyed out and does not react) and I cannot set to "simple" password (4 digits) for the same reason (button greyed out)

Today, I got a message from my iphone 4 telling me that my password was expired and that I had to change it.
Now I am forced to enter a 8 character long password and I cannot turn off the password lock (button is greyed out and does not react) and I cannot change to "simple" code.
I am so upset that I am considering throwing the bloody thing to the rubbish bin
Can you help?

Have a work Exchange account on your phone? These policies can be enforced by a profile installed on your phone. There is nothing you can do to change this except delete the Exchange account.

Since upgrading to iOS 6, I cannot save or transfer photos to iPad or iPhone. Is it a glitch with the upgrade?

Since upgrading to iOS 6, I cannot save photos to my iPhone or iPad or transfer pictures taken. Is it a glitch with the upgrade?

Can you be a little more specific? Do you mean that when you take photos with your iPhone camera or iPad camera they are not showing up in the photo stream? Do you mean that you are trying to sync your photos to a computer and that they are not syncing? Just not sure what you are asking?

IOS 5 bug: Cannot zoom some web pages

After the upgrade to iOS5, I cannot pinch zoom web pages designed for mobile devices any more. Normal HTML pages still work.
This bug was present in iOS 3.1.2, but was gone by iOS 4. Now it is back.
Please fix this, as it is an accessibility issue.

As a workaround, does the attachment from this thread help?
It starts the native platform-browser and allows you to go for any URL you like.

IOS 7.0.2 seems to make FilemakerGo seize up on startup. How do I report this - I read that I cannot revert to a previous version of iOS on the iPadMini?

Contact the app developer to find out what there recommendations are.

Ever since I have updated my software to iOS 7, I cannot download anything from the AppStore app and I have tried resetting my password and updating ITunes, but nothing works! Please help!

Ever since I have updated my software to iOS 7, I cannot download anything from the AppStore app and I have tried resetting my password and updating ITunes, but nothing works! Also when I try to sink my mini with my iTunes account it says you cannot sync because the sync session failed to start.

It sounds like to me you're trying to sync using the computer.
Try these things and see if it helps before you try your next syncing session. If none of the things below work then you might consider trying to sync using iCloud only.
Try a Restart.
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red "slide to power off" slider appears, and then slide the slider. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
Resetting your settings
You can also try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your device settings again.... All of the settings in the settings app will have to be re-entered. You won't lose any data, but it takes time to enter all of the settings again.
Resetting your device
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Apple recommends this only if you are unable to restart it.
Or if this doesn't work and nobody else on the blog doesn't have a better idea you can contact Apple.
Here is a link to their contacts with most of the information below.

I've seen that happen sometimes. For me, pressing the lock button to lock it, and then pressing the home button to get to the lock screen reverts it back. If that doesn't work, just move your brightness slider lower and then higher again.

I keep getting a message Cannot Get Mail No password provided for "MobileMe"

I have upgraded to 4S and the phone is functioning properly but I keep getting some error messages. In Mail, I keep getting the prompt - Cannot Get Mail No password provided for "MobileMe". Please go to Mail Account Settings and enter a password.
When I click Settings, I have already removed the "MobileMe" account from my phone & am receiving the MobileMe mail through the iCloud account that is set up. And that iCloud account is functioning properly.
So the Mail is attempting to pull mail from an account I deleted off my iPhone & then when I try to follow the prompts to fix the problem & enter a password, it's no longer there.

You have to restore the iPod
Connect the iOS device to your computer and try to make a backup
iOS: How to back up
Then restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased. Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode if necessary to allow the restore.
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: How to back up
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

You have to restore the device within iTunes. You want to use the same computer that you always sync with so that you can restore your app data and settings. You can restore with any other computer, but you will lose everything on the iPad.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
This will tell you how to restore
iTunes: Backing up, updating or restoring iOS software
If you cannot restore that way, you may have to use recovery mode
iPad: Unable to update or restore

HT2729 i downloaded 3 songs to my pc and sync'd my ipod and the songs do not tranfer. is this related to not having the proper itunes version vs ios? I cannot get the songs to sync, but I can move other songs to different playlists and they sync fine...

Hi Dennis!
I have a couple of steps for you to try in order to get those songs transferred to your iPod touch. First, make sure all of your software is updated with the latest versions. If the songs were downloaded from iTunes, you will also want to delete the songs from your library and then download them again from the list of past purchases on your iTunes account. An article about doing that can be found here:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519
If you try a sync after those two steps and are still seeing the issue, then I would like you to try syncing the iPod by setting it to manually manage. An article outlining more information on manually managing your iPod sync can be found here:
Managing content manually on iPhone, iPad, and iPod
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1535
If you are still having issues after that, I have another article that can outline some other reasons why your songs may not transfer to your iPod, and it can be found here:
Some songs in iTunes won't copy to iPod
