IOS 8: cursor positioning "magnifying circle" doesn't work anymore

When I'm editing text, and I want to position the cursor, I touch the screen until the magnification circle appears. Then I move my finger until I see (in the magnified area) where I want the cursor to go. Only in iOS 8, the magnification circle usually appears somewhere other than where the cursor is! So it's impossible to use it to position the cursor -- you can't even see the cursor.
Anybody know what to do about this?

I have experienced this many more times now so I can give more details. The magnifying circle pops up but it is empty. I have to guess whether my finger is putting the cursor in the right place but I can't see until I remove my finger whether my 'aim' was right. The magnifying circle is empty so it is no help at all.

Tethering doesn´t work anymore since I updated to IOS 7.1

Since I updated to IOS 7.1 the tethering function doesn´t work anymore on my Iphone 4.
I have recently purchased an IPAD Mini, as the iphone has become so incredibly slow after update to IOS 7.0. I am travelling a lot and use the tethering function to access the internet. And now, after update to IOS 7.1 I can´t even use my IPAD anymore when travelling.
I must say, enough is enough. My patience is at it´s end. A professional company doesn´t work like this !
Apple, please react and get this problem solved.

What Apple wants from his customers?
1) I've paid my iPhone 4S 900 euros;
2) I'm used to buy music and apps from iTunes store;
3) my iCloud space costs 32 euros per year
and, like me, millions of customers around the world!
and Apple does not allow me (and many others) to use the internet traffic for which I (we) pay my (our) provider, that's not among those that directly sell iPhone??? Is this your idea of a really unblocked device as you falsely declsre from the pages of Apple online store ?!? Shame on you!
If I had know that the 7.1 led to this I'd never updated my iPhone. No one (Apple and the sites that live because of her) told about this issue in their enthusiastic comments on the new, updated version, of iOS. Shame on you!
This would claim a class action against such a behaviour!
I'm disgusted
thank you

I have an iphone 3GS and I have upgraded it to iOS 6. Since then it doesn't work properly. Every now and then it has been restarting by itself and requiring restore. When I connect it to itunes it restarts again and again. Is there any solution?

Hey, There are afew things you can try.
- Simply turn your phone off and back on again
- Hold down your home button and your lock button and let goes as soon as the screen goes black (Phone will power down) - Then turn on your phone and hey presto!
- Back up your iPhone to your PC, then restore it..
this ones last cause I think you may have tried it already..
- Close all open applications
Hope this helps!

After installing iOS 6 update my ipod touch 5G doesn't work anymore

after installing iOS 6 update my ipod touch 5G doesn't work anymore. Can anybody help me? Please!

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

After upgrade to IOS 8.3 sync with iTunes doesn't work

After upgrade iPhone 6, iPad Air to IOS 8.3, the sync (over wifi, as well) to iTunes doesn't work anymore.
On iMAC iTunes, the last sync's hour and day appear different from what is recorded on mobile devices (iPhone and iPad); with IOS 8.2 and the previous iTunes' version the sync worked correctly: the dates are the same only for few seconds after syncronization, then the IOS devices show the syncronization's dates related to two weeks ago.
Thanks

you'll need to contact your carrier.

I upgraded my iPad to IOS 5.1 and now Safari doesn't work and keeps bombing out. I've tried restoring the iPad to the original configuration but this is clearly not restoring the iPad back to the original factory default!! Help !! I have the original v1 iPad. I wish I had never upgraded the IOS now !

1. Double-click the Home button to show the Task Bar
2. Hold the Safari icon down for a second or two until you see the minus sign
3. Tap the minus sign to close Safari

I updated iphone 4 to ios 7.1 and the camera doesn't work. what can I do?

i updated iphone 4 to ios 7.1 and the camera doesn't work. what can I do?

First, try to reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comes back again. You will not lose data by resetting, but it can cure some glitches after installing new software or apps.
If this does not help, and to rule out a software issue, set it up as new device without using the latest backup, in case that backup contains corrupt data.
Is the camera working after that, restore from the backup. Is the camera still not working, this might be a hardware failure and you'll have to get the phone serviced by Apple:

Restore your iPhone with current iTunes on your computer. See if fixed. If still problem and if there is Warranty or AppleCare make Genius reservation or set up Service and take or send to Apple for resolution. If no coverage, try Virtual Home Button, tap Settings App > General > Accessibiltiy > Assistive Touch > ON > tap new white screen button > Home.

Merge 2 code and script doesn't work anymore

            //NSLog(@"%@", (b ? @"OK" : @"NO"));
            //        NSLog(@"leveltimer");
            //        levelTimer = [NSTimer scheduledTimerWithTimeInterval: 0.03 target: self selector: @selector(levelTimerCallback:) userInfo: nil repeats: YES];
        } else {
            NSLog(@"************** ERRORE: ****************");
            NSLog([error description]);
[/code]
the result is that recorder record silence, no peak power, no avarage power.
i use xcode4 (ios inxcode4 is till 4.3, i have not downloaded the latest xcode)
why in ios5 doesn't work anymore?
is not compatible?
thanks

i have downloaded the latest xcode, tryed
Documents or Cache instead of /dev/null but no luck
i have solved but don't know why it stopped working.
the code above was putted in a singleton class loaded and initialized once at start of the app.
seems that records only one voice power then stops (even if i have controlled that recording=true, metering enabled=true ecc...in logs)
now i have putted the same code in a method of the singleton class and called that method from the file of the screen "ingame" and works...
mmm.......any ideas why it happens?

IOS 8: cursor positioning "magnifying circle" doesn't work anymore
