IOS 8.1.1 update, restore, now no sent items in mail

I've just updated my iPhone and iPad to iOS 8.1.1 via iTunes using the following process:
-Create back up (to this computer)
-Update
-Restore from backup
I did this for both my iPhone and iPad and now on both when I go into mail there are no Sent Items.
This is a big problem.
Why is this happening?
Since this happened to both my iPad and my iPhone, and there is no iOS or iOS Updates community (really? why isn't there at least an iOS community?) I've posted this here for now.

Hi Brian,
How would that restore my Sent Items?
I don't think Sent Items are stored on the mail server. If they were, then for example: when you sent an email from your iPhone, that email would be pulled down from the server into the Sent Items folder for the same mail account on your MacBook Pro. That doesn't happen.
The Sent Items for an iPad or iPhone should be stored in the backup for that device you create via iTunes and be unique to that device. Another example: when you access the same email account from your iPhone, iPad and MacBook Pro the emails in the Sent Items folders on each of those devices are unique to said device even tho all the devices are accessing the same mail account.
This seems like a problem with the backup, the 8.1.1 update, or the restore.
I just restored the iPad as new, then restored from backup and during that process the iPad screen lit up and said "Slide to upgrade". What does that mean? I'm not upgrading anything, I'm restoring from a backup. How is "Slide to upgrade" appropriate? That doesn't seem right.
Is there any way to escalate this to actual Apple people? I won't pay for a support request when the problem is with their backup/update/restore.
I think they've introduced a backup/restore problem with the 8.1.1 update. I don't think this is a "user" problem, I've been syncing, backing up, and restoring iPhones and iPads as long as they've existed. It's pretty straightforward and I'm sure I haven't done anything wrong.
Any other ideas?

Use iTunes on any computer to restore your iPhone. Your data
will be gone, but your iPhone will be functioning. You can restore
when you get home.
You may wish to look into iCloud to prevent data loss in the future:

Additional things to try.
Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.

Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

New battery fitted recently to replace a faulty one (allegedly). Battery has since been on 1% but lasted all day, I charged it every night to ensure it would not go off. Ran ios 6.0.2 update and now phone will not restart or charge and i cant restore HELP

Says it all in the question really, but just to clarify: Once upon a time I took out a contract and got my very own iphone4s more or less straightaway I could tell the battery charge was faulty, I was told by a member of the genius bar that this was normal, it wasnt normal I could literally watch it count down and it just got worse. It got to the point where I couldnt use the phone anymore so after taking it to various places I had the battery replaced (all in all this cost around £100) and it worked 'normally' for about half a day until the phone suddenly reached 1% and has stayed at this % ever since- not ideal but it would stay on all day and ive managed to use the phone fine. I would keep it charged overnight as i usually would but even after 8 hours of charging it still said 1%, I downloaded battery apps they all told me the battery was empty even when it was still on 1%. Lastnight I decided to update to i.0.s 6.0.2 I kept it on charge to do it but when it went to restart it would not turn back on. Im now stuck with a phone that actually has a new battery but the phone somehow doesn't recognise that it has a battery, I can't restore on itunes as it will not charge at all not even to get the apple symbol. Ive spent alot of money trying to resolve this already and have been told that the battery is not covered with the warranty so I wondered if anyone had any ideas?

Unless Apple replaced your battery, and it appears they didn't, you're pretty much on your own now. Have you tried going back to whoever replaced your battery? That's gonna be your only choice now, because if a third-party replaced your battery, Apple won't touch your phone now.

I got the iphone iOS 7.1.1 update and now my music won't play and I can't download apps. Can I fix it?

When i got the update at first the music would play while my headphones were in. I restored my iphone and now it won't play at all. I have tried to go in the settings for itunes and app store but it also won't load.

Hi Jackson,
Since you have already done a restore of your iPhone, I would suggest that you now try restoring your iPhone to factory settings, set it up again and test before you restore your content. This article describes the process -
Use iTunes to restore your iOS device to factory settings

Note - It is important that you follow this stop:
Use iTunes to back up your device and transfer and sync any additional content to your computer.

I downloaded the iOS 7.0.2 update and now my iPad is stuck on stupid

Downloaded iOS 7.0.2 , when ipad shut down to restart and install, it got stuck flashing back and forth from reboot screen with the apple logo on it, and my lock screen. It's been flashing back and forth for about 45 mins now and I'm about ready to throw it out a window...along with my iPhone 5 bc I dislike iOS 7 very much.

Ios 7.0.3 update/restore fails. error code 12

Hi.
I have tried to update my iPhone 5 to iOS 7.0.3 from itunes.
My previous iOS version was 7.0.2. 2GB free space before updating. I have backed up previously. everything was ok.
Itunes sent a message with error code 12. Can not install update.
Iphone screen showed the apple logo and an almost full gauge when itunes sent the error.
I have tried many times and the result is always the same ( previous reboot, itunes update, no Virtual OS environments, restore)
Macbook pro OSX 10.7.8/ iTunes 11.1.2
Any help?

this just happened to me. ended up having to replace it since it was already a warranty replacement.
i'm curious tho, did anyone else experience issues with their service on AT&T prior to the restore issue?
my phone was searching for service for about 3 days. i thought at&t was just having issues, but i found out there wasn't anything wrong with the network when i called them. however, during troubleshooting when i called them, we noticed that my imei and sim card number weren't listed, and the modem fireware was blank. this made me think a restore should fix it and that's how i ended up here.
i have to consider that a firmware update was pushed down from the carrier that ultimately bricked the phone...not that it does any good; i just can't stand never knowing what the error 12 is exactly referring to!

Updated & Restored now click wheel wont work

I have an iPod Nano 2nd generation.
It froze on me... so I followed all of the instructions.
Charged it up. Updated software. Restored the Nano.
Repeated the process.
Now it is stuck on the select language screen - but anytime I click any buttons - nothing happens!
When I restored it... everything appears normal from within iTunes - it tells me it is synching my music, allows me to name the iPod. Click wheel does work when connected to the computer either.
HELP?
Thanks
Dave

The click wheel is broken and needs to be replaced. It will also need a new battery.

HT201210 IOS 7.0.4 updated and now my alarms do not work at all, please help.

Since the IOS 7.0.4 my alarm to wake up has not been working. It does not go off and when I do wake up (late) it lists the alarms as "12:00am" and "off." I have redone them so many times and still nothing. Suggestions? I have an iphone 4S.

How do I reset the network settings? Are you referring to the phone or my computuer? I am very dodgy at doing computer things so a step by step process would be very helpful for both the phone and computer please.
I did set another alarm and this time it did go off. No resetting itself to 12:00am, but I did not ask it to repeat itself either. Still a bit worried though.

IOS 6 Firewall temp Fix but now can't get YAHOO mail ***?

I spent 1.5 hours last night at the "Genius Bar", only for them to tell me that the issue with a firewall for the wifi wasn't an issue seeing as i just upgraded to ios 6, so got 2 new replacement phones to "fix the problem". I got back into our secure network only to find the issue still existed. This AM we removed the password on our firewall but kept WEP key in place. We can't track usage untill Apple come up with a fix that worked just as well as IOS 5.
However after re organising all my email accounts, i can now no longer get my YAHOO mail. Keeps asking for the password even though i input the correct PW.
Ideas welcome people!
PS.... lets go apple, love your stuff but you have tech friendly people that can't do what they are asked to do..... Hmm here's an idea, maybe keep it longer in BETA????

All we asked for is the phone to function as it should. Not a big ask to have it work as it would on previous operating software. This may not apply to you unless you were in the similar situation.

HT6147 iOS 7.0.6 update - mail sending problems & uncontrollable apps closing

Hi all!
I’m having problems on two iPads after installing iOS 7.0.6 update. The first one is “sending mails via Exchange account and gmail is a NO GO!” an the second is “closing apps from time to time uncontrollably”. With iOS 7.0.4 this worked fine.
Anyone with same or similar problems? Any suggestions on how to fix this?
I already tried rebooting and deleting/adding accounts again in mail app with no positive effect.
Since iPads are used by company’s managers where seamless emailing is crucial function, this made iPads expensive bricks and nothing more.
The rest of iPads are to stay on the older version till this is fixed or workaround is found.
Thanks
Misci

Try this - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
