Ios 7 bugs and why isn't Apple fixing them?

I am getting really annoyed by some of the glaring bugs ever since ios 7's release, and the fact Apple has released a few updates yet still won't fix some of these bugs......Just some of the bugs I've easily noted:
1. When composing text messages, after you hit send, your message won't appear in the chat windows sometimes until you pull down and release the screen.
2. Spell check will red underline a word, but if you keep typing, the red underline will dissapear so you can't go back and review possible mispelled words.
3. Prior to ios 7, I used to easily be able to copy/paste pictures from the web into a chat window, and the pictures would resize themselves to fit and look properly......now the pictures are usually too large to even tell what they were, or sometimes when you try to do a copy/paste on a picture, it will just copy the URL link and not the picture itself.
These bugs are really annoying, and I'm just really baffled why Apple hasn't fixed this stuff yet!

Yeah, mine is working fine, too, an iPhone 4s with 7.0.4. Sounds like your update did not go well, don't you hate that? I do. And I know it's a hassle but I'd do a restore to factory settings and let it update again to 7.0.4. That will probably fix things nicely. I wasn't keen on updating at all but when Apple stole 3GB of space on both my phone and iPad with an unwanted pushed update file, I eventually gave in and updated them - I at least waited until 7.0.4. Anyway, 7 seems pretty decent and it works well enough.
Before I updated mine, I removed all added apps and other data so it started with a very empty phone. Then after the OS update I re-synced everything back to the phone. Also, I did the update using iTunes and not the pushed update file. It way my only way of rebelling! lol
Do the restore and you should be good to go.

Why is itunes so hard to use - and why can't apple fix it?

I dont know anybody who likes the way itunes works.'
This last version is beyond awful. It took an already hard to use program - but one that I had at least figured out and made it even harder.

Wendy,
If you are experiencing a particular problem, please post specifics, and most likely someone here will be able to help.

Why isn't apple fixing anything -

security doesn't store your settings - safari does the same thing, if you set your home page it always goes elsewhere ! I've been through every setting there is for this operating system. What really ****** me off is that you can't get your money back.

Last reply. This is not a place for flaming.
If my syntax or punctuation was bad, sorry; I meant to point out a couple of examples of current, familiar software creations that evolve rapidly and work fresh-out-of-the-box even when there are major version changes.
Then, I suggested that Apple's "quality control" folks might be paying more attention to making sure that iOS is bug-free and app-integrated than they are to insuring that OS X runs without tripping. That's a good decision on Apple's part, by the way; Apple's profits -- the ones that make the evolution (and survival!) of the Mac and OS X possible -- come from the iPhone / iPad / iPod world and not from Mac sales. Maybe, someday, Mac will have a large market share, again -- but not yet, not now, and it will require time, dollars and Jobs.
Anyway, I'll put up with some temporary wobbling from an evolving OS X in return for near-perfect iPhones and iPads and those big cash reserves that they bring to Apple, because the Mac will benefit. I know what I like; I know which computer system makes me smile while I work and supports me in producing better results faster, and its name starts with an "M," but doesn't continue "icrosoft." And if my writing doesn't please ya, well, golly, your 2,165 points indicates clearly that you contribute a lot more around here than I do.

Why isn't Apple selling the 2GB iPod Shuffles?

???
I had a 1GB one (it's a bit old now) and it finally started breaking down (it will randomly shut off during the middle of a song and then turn back on)
I don't want to buy the new one, and I would prefer a 2GB over the 1GB, but why isn't Apple selling it on their website?
(Hope this was the right place to ask this. I checked the other categories before coming here)

They're still selling refurbished 2GB shuffles in pink, green and blue...

Hi godavina,
Need a little more info here. You are trying to switch back into the British store? Are you living there now? If not, can you tell us where you are and what you are trying to do?
Thanks,

Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for this price. They do not fix yours.

Why do videos show up in photos and why can't i export them from iPhoto for iOS

Somehow, I just don't get it:
If I take a picture on my iPhone 5s, it is saved to 'Pictues' ... sound reasonable.
If I take a video on the same device, it is saved to 'Pictures' ... that's where it gets messy.
If I receive a video on an app like e.g. WhatsApp ... it also get's stored in ... guess what ... 'Pictures'!
Now that's a little bit confusing.
Generally I would like to keep these different types of media (still pictures vs. moving images) in separate spaces, but it seems like that is not possible out of the box, because if go ahead and tab on that share-button in iOS 7 i get prompted to share the videos to various installed apps like e.g. YouTube, Vimeo, Twitter - you name it.
It seems like there is no way to export videos from 'Pictures' to 'Videos', even if you use iPhoto for iOS in the gap.
The only ways (that I found) to get what I want are way to circumstantial:
Either use iPhoto for the Mac to import videos from the iCloud Photostream to the Mac and from there via "Show in Finder" re-import to iTunes' 'Videos'
or use iExplorer (a third party application for the Mac) and export the videos from the iPhone to a temp-folder and from there re-import with iTunes to 'Videos'.
Why isn't there just a simple share-sheet or export label called 'Export to Videos'.
Why doesn't it just work?
Am I missing out on something?
Is there an easier way to complete this relatively simple task?
Hints and support are very much appreciated!
Kind regards,
Chris

Hi. My camera is a Canon 600D. And yes my videos are stored in the Aperture library and they are not referenced. Even then I tried to select all the videos in Aperture and clicked 'consolidate masters' and there was a messge that said all 'none of the files are referenced',... so they didn't need consolidating.
I also tried preferences> export> external video editor > choose > iMovie. And then right click on the video to edit with imovie. Even then the video didn't show up in iMovie. It seems like the only option for me is to import the videos directly to iMovie which means there will be two versions of the same file stored in my computer eating up space.
APPLE. What are you doing?

Birthdays in iCal, Address Book, iPhone. Why isn't Apple listening?

I have seen this complaint over and over again. I have sent countless feedback emails. Why is it that Apple just doesn't care about these VERY BASIC things? Their attention to detail is amazing, yet they choose to ignore things that scream incompetence....
Why is it that I can sync birthdays from my Address Book in to iCal. (Awesome feature by the way) Yet I cannot set a reminder of any kind. Does Apple just think this isn't important to people? Do they just not care? I run into these types of problems with almost every application they have. There will be those one or two little things in each that begs the questions: What are they thinking? How could they have missed this? Why aren't they listening to people? Another upgrade I paid for, and it's still not fixed?
Are any of you feeling this frustration?

That's great, thanks! Worked like a charm, and all my birthdays now have a reminder. Even tells me their age...
Frustrates me that I have to pay $6, when it should already have this functionality. However, it's otherwise a useless feature, unless I am reminded of the birthdays, so I'll pay the $6. It's more important to me to know when these birthdays occur.

IOS 8 bugs and fails

hello, I got the iPhone 6 Plus 128GB and plugget it to iTunes and restored from backup of my previous iphone 5s...
the first 3 months it was okay bit when my iPhone started filling the bugs started to appear and one after one until they became
a big number :
-while scrolling in a web page you accidentally tap on text or maybe even you want to copy... the selection of the txt gets stuck and the options baths gong there and it doesn't go away no matter what you do.
-i tap on app to open it, the icon of the app (it can be any app you choose) before the app launches the icon of the app fills the screen for three seconds and then the app opens.
--random restars
-Notification Center sometimes doesn't slide down its just as if it's not there..and also the pref pane doesn't slide up. You have to reset to fix it.
-facetime hangs after call, doesn't hang up nor does anything else until you reset your iPhone
-60FPS setting on iPhone 6 plus when enabled it causes the camera to freeze while switching between shooting modes.
-ramdom apps crash randomly
-i change the wallpaper (lock screen) and go there and fin the lock screen is black
-icons get mixed up in a chaotic way after downloading new apps
and the list goes on i'lol post the rest when I remember them, iOS 8 full of bugs and I've been thinking to do a clean instal of iOS but I can't because I have to renter my mass words and I have 128gb of contents to restore back... And it's too much work and tooIchya time and it's not guaranteed that is s will work...
was was

I followed these instructions to do the downgrade to 8.2 - worked fine, and restored my ability to use the iPad. Of course, it still keeps asking me to upgrade, so the real problem isn't solved:

How to Boot Permanently in 64 bit, and why isn't this comand working

I want to permanently boot in 64 bit . I have Macos 10.6.8 snow leopard.
I tried this command in the terminal (because i read it online) and it doesn't work:
sudo defaults write /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.Boot 'Kernel Flags' 'arch=x86_64'
When i restart the System Profiler says SOFTWARE/
64-bit Kernel and Extensions:
No
At one time, it did work but then it went back to saying NO.
Other techniques i've read said to open and Edit the com.apple.Boot plist file. But i search for that file and it's no where to be found.

That command does work on a 2008 Mac Pro we have, but not on a 2011 model. Mark's command is the one we use to get the 2011 model to purposely boot into 32 bit mode in order to use our scanning software on another partition. Except for a 32 bit startup, it's:
sudo systemsetup -setkernelbootarchitecture i386

Why won't Apple fix this problem of iTunes Cutting off songs?

I've owned seven different ipods and three iPhones. On EVERY ONE OF THEM iTunes cuts off many songs after two or three seconds of playing. We're talking here about songs either uploaded from commercially purchased DVDs or the iTunes store. I have no bootleg music, I don't customize anything related to iTunes. I just buy music and download it into iTunes from MacBook Pro laptops that are similarly as standard as one can get. Yet when I listen to the albums of songs I've just purchased, random songs play for two seconds and then change to another song. When I've researched this issue across the Web I've found detailed complaints going back as early as 2004 and I can't believe that EVERY Apple iTunes system and device I've purchased over many years has behaved in this exact manner. What are these "Apple Support Communities" FOR is Apple fails to either correct the problems they report or, worse, even acknowledge problems that are documented by thousands of users of a wide variety of iTunes related products? I don't want to have to use a work-around or a reload or some of the other Rube Goldberg-like solutions others have suggested in these and other forums. I'm spending thousands of dollars on Apple equipment and software and I simply want the Apple iTunes devices and music that I buy to WORK AS ADVERTISED, which they don't. I just want my music to play as it is supposed to play. Why can't Apple make that happen?

That's happing to me, any solution ?

Missing Features, Bugs, and Wish List for Apple Engineers

I LOVE my iPhone. It is by far the best phone I have ever had. The interface is awesome. Great job Apple, but there are missing features and bugs that all of us want updated or wish were added. I know they were probably already thought of by Apple, but in an effort to make the phone perfect removed to make it more stable. Now that it is out lets make it perfect.
This thread will hopefully give you guys guidance from the early adopters who share your love for the phone (and others who want to chime in). I want to separate the list into a few categories and hope everyone will add to this thread with their ideas:
1) BUGS/CHANGES TO EXISTING APPS:
- Period should be in alphabet keyboard (make space smaller) or when you go to symbol keyboard and hit period it should automatically go back to the alphabet keyboard (unless you double click the symbol button which means stay there like caps lock)
- Individual delete (like Mail) of all lists (eg. call list, bookmarks list, history etc.
- Multiple item in a List delete (see below for how to select). This is also so un-Mac like to not be able to select multiple items to delete. It is all or none for clear/delete on the iPhone.
- Implement double finger slide...in maps double finger tap zooms out so the OS recognizes this, why don't you use a double finger drag to mean "select". There is no way to select some words in a sentence or a group of items. This could be how. eg. In a list (eg Mail) double finger slide over items you want to select (instead of singer finger drag which moves the list) then one finger slide to the right to delete the selected items from the list.
- Copy and paste. Since there are no menus this would require a gesture (ala newton)
- when you tap the battery icon it should bring up a battery status dialog (ala wifi join dialog where the screen dims): present charge, big battery icon (like the charging one), time left. In addition, instead of giving battery usage details only after a full charge, give it at any point.
- Since you know that nights and weekends are at set times (and not variable like it was on Sprint where I came from)...the phone usage details should be broken down into: peak minutes used and N+W minutes used (not hard to figure out since you know the time and dates of calls)
- Be able to change font/background etc in Notes app
- faster way to get to favorites in the killer phone app after turning on phone. Just seems like it takes too many taps to get there to make a call on a phone.
2) WISH LIST FOR NEW APPS (apps that can be added with existing hardware, see #3 for other wishes)
- iChat (obvious and probably almost done)
- VOIP (probably not going to happen, and wouldn't work in Europe where I would need it most gven network speeds there)
- Flight tracker widget
- Exchange support (probably in the works)
- Push email from gmail and .Mac (probably in the works)
- Bluetooth sync
- DUN (probably not going to happen since AT+T does not want it)
- Data/File storage with sync
- TODO APP that syncs to to do in iCal
- Ringtones, definitely from songs from iPod side (obvious and coming soon I am sure)
-Search function like spotlight. Global would be awesome, but even just in contacts
3) FUTURE HARDWARE RELATED WISHES (stuff we wish could be in hardware version 1 but know require a version 2):
- GPS
- 3G
- LED that changes color and/or pulses (like MacBooks sleep light) that indicates things (eg charge status, Voice mail status, roaming status etc) without turning on the phone
- Move camera to front to allow video conferencing (I doubt Steve would allow since it would mess up the clean front look)
Well I could go on and will add to this thread later, but I need to go to work to show everyone (and sell more apple stuff since many of my colleagues have been converted to macs). Now, all you pioneers, start adding things to help our beloved phone become better!

I agree with your post! I'm amazed by the simplicity, the screen, and the apps on the iPhone. They all have worked wonderfully for me, with just a few crashes while surfing or loading big email images. (I heard that shutting down the phone and restarting helps that.)
The single flaw for me is that the phone app itself should be primary, with more options (quicker access, unique ringtones, voicedial?) and ease of use. The other applications are so elegant, but I need my phone to be very accessible and practical too.
My wish list:
1) Make it fewer taps to get to the point where you can make a phone call. How about the main button can be programmed to take you wherever you want. I'd choose to go to Phone Favorites, so I could speed dial right away.
2) Be able to set a preference as to what app you're in when you wake up the phone. I'd choose phone keypad, some might choose iCal, etc.
3) Add the period and comma symbols to the alpha keyboard.
4) Allow different ringtones for specific caller ID's.
5) Copy and paste.
V2) With new hardware, add a "back" button to return to prev. screen. It could be small, on the side near volume?

What people? I have no issue with IOS 7, neither do the 30 plus people at my work, who I suggested to update to ios 7.0.4, and these are people from the ages of 20+ to 60+....
