IOS update fix for the map app

So exactly how long do users have to wait for an update fix for the map app?

The maps included with the iPhone do not cost extra and do use the existing data plan.
AT&T Navigator (GPS) does cost an extra $9.95 (or so) per month.
Most other GPS apps have no monthly fee and use the GPS and, in some cases, the data plan on your phone.
I recommend either Navigon (takes a lot of storage room but maps are stored on the iPhone) or GPS Drive (reasonable price, has great features, maps come from the data path so requires a data signal but takes much less space).

Any word on a fix for the Maps App?

Haven't wanted to update to new iOS because of maps... new update says nothing about fix for maps... have any of the initial Map App issues been resolved?

The big difference is you are not google customer, you are google asset, the advertiser are their customer. Do I have to tell you more how google do their business? Wake up, all these freebies are there for a reason.
I prefer Apple Maps anytime and it is getting better as we speak.
Oh my, there is little more silly than someone who accuses another of being naive and in doing so, reveal there own naivety.
You didn't know that Apple gathers as much usage data as Google? Really? How do you think they plan to make their maps better? Why do you think they want their own mapping app?
Mapping is huge business and Apple wants some of that action for themselves. That AND Jobs stating that he wanted to go thermo-nuclear on Google are the primary reasons why Google Maps was replaced by Apple Maps.
Of course Google Maps has a business model, of course they collect data on our usage. Who cares? For an amazing line of products that work 99% of the time for the entire world, it is a small price to pay. Besides, for the ultra paranoid, there are many ways to hide your true identity from Google. No so with the Apple phone and Apple apps!
Perhaps I should remind you of this:
http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2012-05-03/apple-must-face-lawsuit-over-iphone-dat a-collection-claims-1-.html
My primary point is that I am getting tired of Apple dictating what apps I can and cannot have! I am getting tired of Apple denying entry into the iTunes store, 3rd party apps that compete with their own. Even Google is stating that Apple may not allow Google Maps into the iDevice apps ecosystem.
http://arstechnica.com/apple/2012/11/google-not-optimistic-apple-will-approve-it s-upcoming-ios-maps-app/?comments=1#comments-bar
Make no mistake, it is Apple that is the villain in this situation.
And this is no laughing matter for several reasons:
1) Apple stocks have been on a steady decline since the announcement of the iPhone 5
2) The FTC may investigate Apple's business practices once again because of the maps issue
3) People ARE decided NOT to buy into Apple because of these problems
Those in this forum that are quick to say, "get lost, go buy an Android" are not helping Apple. If you think that Apple can't die, you are really naive! Apple can become irrelevant quicker than you think.

HT6065 When do we get a proper fix for the Mail App?

When do we get a proper fix for the Mail app on my iMac? The last one made things worse. Or ta least, how can I roll back the OS to Mountain Lion?

Thanks for the reply Varjak,
Mail has stopped refreshing as it should. When I click the get new mail envelope, there used to be a sound after around five seconds if there were no new notifications. When I try that now the program just hangs. When I look at 'Force Quit', which incidentally I have to open another app or Finder window in order to access because Mail freezes totally, including the Apple menu, it says that Mail isn't responding. The Mac won't shut down sometimes because Mail won't quit. If I manage to open a mail and then go to another inbox, the whole thing is liable to hang. Using Apple help just before Christmas I cleared out the old cache that M.Lion left behind and now there isn't a cache for Mail.
We are on Tiscali Broadband through a multi-port router and usually getting around 11Mb download speeds. My mail addresses are either tiscali.co.uk or gmail. It will not successfully send group mails either, despite the upgrade before Christmas. I never had a problem with M.L. and Mail. From looking at the Forums it seems I am not alone here. I also have a windows pc and an iPhone and they both access my mail addresses without any problem.
Cheers,
Cybermouse

Can my Y2P bought in other countries apply the new update fix for the yellow issue?

Sorry to have new post, but the original post about yellow issue is banned.
I'm plannying to buy Y2P from Hong Kong for long time, but I want to wait for the fix to come out.
Now I see the fix has came out but would there be differences in the content of update for different models as I'm buying the i7 8GB RAM 256GB SSD version of Y2P in Hong Kong? Or could my Y2P directly apply the newly released update for the yellow issue?

Frist apple isnt here so they're not going to here your message. second you should try the following
-restart phone
-reset phone
-reset network setting
-restore the device as new

Does anyone know of a work around or a fix for the "Mail.app of death"?

Google it if you haven't heard about it before.
I've tried the proof-of-concept code that's circulating the web and it works as announced in a very disturbing way. (Mail.app crashes, over and over again.)
//Niklas

I noticed a typo in my question, it should be "Mail.app mail of death".
Since no one seem to be interested in this very serious vulnerability, here's a link to the proof-of-concept located at SecurityFocus.

Cant find a fix for 3gs maps bug. Any ideas?

Hi
I have been searching for a fix for the maps app on my 3gs 16gb
It was fine until I updated to os4
Now it puts me a long way off and wont follow me on a journey.
I've looked at loads of forums and found plenty of users with the same problem but no solution.
Any clever people out there with a solution for me or do I need a new phone?
Thanks

What will happen to the maps app of my 1st generation iPad once iOS 6 is released?

My iPad won't be able to upgrade to iOS 6. Will the maps app still get data from Google? Will it be a dead link on my home screen? Or will Apple delete it?

The Google Maps app is baked into iOS 5, therefore it will stay on your iPad. If you were to buy or upgrade a product with iOS 6 you wouldn't see Google Maps.

Looking for a good note taking app: Are there new features for the Notes app in iOS6?

Hi,
I've read that the Notes app with Mountain Lion will be available for OS X as well, and I was wondering if there will be any significant updates to the Notes app coming in iOS 6?
The Notes app in Mountain Lion supports, as far as I know, text formatting, images and attachments. The Notes app in iOS 5 does not have any of these features, yet still it is claimed that the OS X client will sync with the iPhone, iPad and iPod touch. This means that there must be some rather significant updates coming for the Notes app in iOS 6 to match up with the features of its Mac counterpart. Still, no updates to the Notes app are listed in any of the iOS 6 feature lists I've seen so far.
I'm looking for a good note taking app for OS X and iOS. I don't like how Springpad works, neither did Evernote work out for me, it's just too complex - I like Simplenote a lot though, it's just that its approach is too radical in my opinion. I was thinking that the Mountain Lion Notes app might be a good alternative because it combines simplicity with rich text formatting and attachments. I kind of hate the skeuomorphic user interface though.
best, Ian

You are only addressing other iPad users here & no Apple employees. We have no way of knowing, so you'll have to wait until iOS 6 is released.

A possible fix for the email "large attachment cra...

08, v1507, FP2, UK product code (hacked from original amazon.co.uk Malaysian product code).
I've just started Nokia Suite to see if anything new comes up.
No sign of 1508 but one "really interesting" fix for the email app, specifically mentioning the "large attachment" bug. It isn't easy to reproduce because it doesn't happen all the time, even with the 10MB pics from Camera Pro on max jpeg quality settings, but it is good that Nokia (Accenture actually) are still out there reading the forums and fixing stuff...
No news of any HSPA fixes.
The attachment fix seems to work but they have now imposed a hard limit on email size of 15.36MB, which is way below what the previous email app was capable of sending sometimes - I have tested up to 50MB on the 700 and the 808.

Well... they haven't completely fixed it. This morning, doing some tests (of something else) which involved emailing 2-4 images as attachments (total size under 10MB) the email app crashed a few times. As before, the crash results in the email being dropped into the Drafts folder.

Hi, I couldn't download apps on my iPad 1. It say iOS update required for this action whereby my software is the latest 5.1.1

I couldn't download apps using my iPad 1. It says that iOS update required for this action.

Some developers allow you to download older compatible versions of their apps. If it's a free app then try downloading the current version on your computer's iTunes so that the app is in your purchase history, then on your iPad go to the Purchased tab in the App Store app and see if you can download an older compatible version of it. If it's a paid-for app then contact the developer first and ask them if the above will work, don't buy it and then find it won't

Since updating to OS7 the video app doesn't show any titles for movies I have downloaded on my iPad. Anyone have the same problem or a fix?

Since updating to OS7 the video app doesn't show any titles for movies I have downloaded on my iPad. Anyone have the same problem or a fix?

Many users have solved the problem by syncing several times; and if that doesn't work, perform a simple restore. Your titles will come back.

Other than what you have already done, you should clear the cache from your browser and, if you use it, your Facebook app. Also, deleting old texts can free up some room.

Is there a fix for the wifi connectivity issue after ios6 update?

Is there a fix for the wifi connectivity issue after ios6 update?
Cannot connect to any wifi since update to 6.0.1
How do I get update to 6.0.2?
Will that even help?

Some things to try first:
1. 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.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. 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
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
    •    Launch Settings app
    •    Tap on Wi-Fi
    •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
    •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

How often are the maps in the Maps app updated?

The Maps app couldn't locate a 2 well known stores right off of the highway that have existed for well over a year, possibly 2. The location is seen in the iOS 5 Maps, but there's nothing but an empty location in the iOS 6 app. How frequently are locations updated?!

The satellite imagery on Apple Maps shows that whole area as undeveloped woods. Google shows a brand new building with the nearby streets.
Use the "Report a Problem" button on the Maps to inform Apple of the required update.

Is Apple even close to a fix for the fix of the IOS 8.0.2. i have lost all my pictures, contacts and more particulary my ability to access wi-fi.l

Is Apple even close to a fix for the fix of the IOS 8.0.2. i have lost all my pictures, contacts and more particulary my ability to access wi-fi. I have switched to a Droid and not sure I would ever go back to an iPhone again.

I had the same issue until I updated my apps through iTunes. I had over 100 updates, but none of them showed on my iPod. After they updated everything started syncing like it is supposed. Go to the apps library and check for updates. After everything syncs leave your iPhone/ipod/ipad connected if the spinning arrows at the top is still spinning. It means that things are still being added. If you go to settings > general > about, you will see it loading songs, videos, photos, etc. If you back out of "about" and then go back to it you will see the numbers for each one change.
