IOS4 Upgrade: Complete disaster

I am absolutely furious! After over 4 hours of mucking about, I've managed to upgrade to iOS4. However, ALL my app and phone settings have been deleted including ALL my text message history. I'm gutted!
The first attempt to upgrade ended in an error -34. My only option was to restore and, inevitably, everything got wiped! It's the first time I've ever wanted to smash my iPhone to pieces.
Turns out that Apple have spitefully removed one of the nicer features (home screen wallpaper) from 3G devices so it seems there's absolutely no point in upgrading anyway.
I wanted to tell Apple about it but couldn't find any electronic way of communicating with them, so I'm having to post here in the hope someone reads it.

I have to agree with you, this whole 4.0 thing as gone awry and theres no fix. Update to 3.0 last year went flawlessly, this year its taking 2 hours to get it done, my pics weren't there and had to wait another 30 min to optimize all of them. Plus the fact no wallpapers,multi-tasking, or even rotation lock!!! 3G owners had no need to upgrade In my 3 years from switching to mac and 1 year switching to iPhone I think this is the first time i've been disappointed with apple. Plus I'm just out of so i cant go to the apple store........ They better let me upgrade to a new phone that can run this Darn iOS!!!!!

Wary about upgrading my wife's 3gs from ios4 to ios6. will the data associated with an app be lost or will it be restored from the backup after the upgrade completes. There is no way to export, email or even print the data contained in the app

If the backup and restore takes place properly, you shouldn't have any issue as millions of people have done an update from iOS 4.

SharePoint 2013 site collection 'upgrade completed with errors'

Hi All,
I am in process to upgrade SharePoint 2010 to SharePoint 2013 with all steps as mentioned in TechNet.
I was able to get all the SP2010 UI in SP2013 environment. However, when I navigated to top level site and clicked on “Site
Collection health checks”. In SP2010 environment I never used (as Farm Admin) any Video content type. It belongs
to out-of-the-box "digital asset content types" and cannot be deleted.
Therefore I changed the name of Video to our department name like "Video - Company" and ran the site collection health check again. This time there was no conflict for content types.
After ran the site collection upgrade I got following error.

Hi All and Inderjeet,
Thanks for your reply and pointers.
I did follow the steps as mentioned in the links above. I used some third party solutions but not for any Video solution. I was able to successfully migrated the SP2010 (WSS_Content) to SP2013 (WSS_Content) environment a few weeks back with exactly same
third party solutions and no site collection error:
I renamed the default and out-of-the box video site content type as shown:
I ran the "Site Collection Health Check" and did not receive any error as in my second screenshot.
But, after upgrade the Site Collection Upgrade and got the same errors.
I don't know if there is any SharePoint Server 2013 patch gave this error as I keep run the Windows Server 2012 (not running R2) and SharePoint Server 2013 regularly.
Can suggest how to resolve this error?
Many Thanks!!

IPod Touch 3rd Gen: Battery Draining very rapidly after iOS4 upgrade.

Hello All,
Sorry for the long post:
I was wondering if others are experiencing this issue as well? I have a 3rd gen ipod touch 64gb.
Prior to the iOS4 upgrade my battery life was very decent. I would easily go a couple(2) days before requiring a full charge on the device even with modest internet, game and music use. As a rule I keep my back light as low as I can stand to conserve battery unless I'm in direct sunlight and have no choice but to bump it up in order to see.
After the iOS4 upgrade my battery life has been drasticly reduced. Going even 24 hours without plugging the device in is totally out of the question and in many cases I find myself having to plug the device into my laptop or car pretty much any chance I get in order to have uninterupted use of the device while I'm out and about. Although I've never timed my actual use, my usage habbits have not changed as far as I'm concerned.
I went so far as to exchanging the device at my local bestbuy as I purchased the blacktie protection plan which grants me an exchange of the device for "any" reason; be it manufaturer defect, accidental breakage, or anything really short of losing it. The replacement was a brand new non refurb ipod which I synced and charged fully upon bringing it home. To my suprise, the battery life is just as bad as the ipod I just turned in. I have yet to downgrade to iOS3 but am considering it if only to see if I suddenly see a great improvement of the battery life.
If anyone is having the issue or has some suggestions other then downgrading please comment. If this is an "unknown" bug/issue/flaw in iOS4 I'm sure apple would like to know about it and I'm assuming they monitor these forums for reports of these issues.
Thanks!

Bose Sounddock functionality post ios4 upgrade

Hi all, following my ios4 upgrade to my 16gig Touch I noticed the only functionality that works from my Bose Sounddock 2 remote control are the volume controls ... nothing else works !! I see the 'Home' menu item withing settings has also disappeared so haven't got a clue where to start here. Has Apple cripled my Bose with its latest IOS? Any help much appreciated

IOS4 upgrade loses SMS data

It seems that the data restored to my iPhone 3G after the iOS4 upgrade was old/incomplete. Though it ran a backup during the upgrade process, I noticed SMS history for the past 12 hours had been lost. I can't confirm other data recovery issues - SMS was the most obvious and all of my email and contacts exist on other servers that were retrieved after upgrade.

I've also lost all SMS data as part of the upgrade - have tried restore from backup in iTunes and no change. Very very unhappy currently and looking for a solution!

IOs4 upgrade, 3gs no longer charges on Altec radio / iPod player

Ever since my iOs4 upgrade, my 3gs no longer charges on my Altec radio / iPod player.
Any ideas?
TIA

No suggestions. Sorry. But to share the pain. 4 must be the Vista of Apple. Since upgrading my 3gs gets physically very warm, which never happened before. I can't leave the phone charging connected to my notebook via a USB cable, which I could always do before: the phone actually drains. The multitasking feature is lousy: every app I run stays on, I can't control what is running unless I physically turn off the app, which is a design defect. How do I return the phone to the old OS unless and until Apple gets its act together?

IOS4 Upgrade Error -69

Maybe a different take, but the iOS4 upgrade seemed to go quite smoothly...
until it tried to restore all my data.
I now got an -69 error message.
Have no contacts or notes nor have any music sync'd
I've managed to get the phone working, but without any phonebook and when i try and manually add music, iTunes tells me that the source files are unavailable however i can play them from the main lib.

Unplugged my phone and then reconnected.
iTunes now tells me that there was a problem with a previous restore and would i like to try again.
fingers crossed

IOS4 upgrade problems

I just upgraded my iPhone 3gs to the new IOS4. While trying to install it to my phone i got error 29, i then had to restore my phone and lost all of my information. Once i finally installed IOS4 my phone has been shutting off every 5 minutes or so even when its on standby. It doesn't seem to be holding a charge very well and now it has completely shut off and i cant get it to turn back on.
How can i fix this problem??? Has anyone else has this problem??

I have the same problem with my updated iphone no longer working on the Pioneer AVH-P4200DVD. It worked wonderfully with the pre OS4, and it would even charge the phone while playing music or not. Now, my disappointment just grows. I will try some of the solutions posted here and in the other threads that say "OS4 and Stereo Problems" and hope it works, otherwise, i will go back to the previous OS.
The first solution attempt will come in the form of a "Hard Reset" of the iPhone and hope that solves the issue.

Warning - iOS4 upgrade breaks Excel

we have three physicians using 3gs iphones between clinics and surgery. I was th eonly one to upgrade from 3.1.3 to 4.x. Major mistake. Excel files with embedded links do not open anymore on the iphone with iOS4. The other two 3gs iphones open the files normally and natively.
Went to the Apple Store for a downgrade in the OS. They cannot do it. I was willing to have the phone wiped clean. Still no luck.
Did the search for other methods and if you note carefully, itunes checks with Apple servers to be sure the phone is what it is and will stop the activation if you download the 3.1.3 on your own. Which I did anyway and found out its true.
Doesn't anyone feel it is interesting that there is no method to reverse the update to help return functionality one enjoyed for almost a year? And no, this was not in the upgrade disclaimer, Apple did not even know this was a "bug" after speaking with tech support on 1-800-apple.

I posted this in another couple of threads, but I figured I would post it here in case someone was monitoring it for replies:
If you have an iPhone 3G/3GS and have had problems with it working with your Ford/Microsoft Sync system, hopefully this will help. I seem to have regained 90% of my iPhone/Sync functionality back, though I think the remaining 10% might be due to a bad music file on the iPhone.
Here is a fix that I found while messing around with my Sync System last night:
First, prepare a USB flash drive to use to update your Sync System.
Download the current version of the Sync firmware from your syncmyride account.
(You must do this even if you already have the latest version)
Next, pull the fuse for your sync system. For my Focus, this was under the dash and labeled #13. Keep in mind that yours is possibly different, so look at the fuse box cover and/or your owner's manual to make sure.
Leave the fuse out for approximately 15 minutes.
Once the Sync system has sat for 15 minutes, replace the fuse.
Plug the USB stick into your Sync system and allow the firmware to update.
If you are told the current firmware exists, you may be OK, but I chose to re-flash the unit to make sure.
Make sure the firmware fully installes (the v2.1 release I installed took about 10 minutes to complete, you have to wait for 2 confirmations before it is done)
Next, wipe your phone from Sync if it was previously paired to it. I did a standard delete of all bluetooth devices (two iPhones paired).
Once this was complete, I was able to reconnect my iPhone with iOS 4 via bluetooth, and I can now connect it to the USB port and control it.

Contacts cause crash and return to home screen after iOS4 upgrade

After upgrading our iPhone 3GS to iOS4, it crashes when clicking on contacts from the Phone app. The Contacts app itself will not open. This is making it extremely difficult to even use the phone to call anyone.
The same issue is also described in the following forum posts:
http://discussions.info.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=12041826&#12041826
http://discussions.info.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=12002288&#12002288

Check Settings > Store and make sure the Apple ID that is shown is the same as the one used to buy the apps in question.
Also, try a Reset (hold down the sleep and home buttons, ignore the red Off slider, wait for the Apple logo, let go of the buttons).

ICal lost end dates and ∞ sync conflicts after iOS4 upgrade

   After upgrading my sacrificial iPod 3 (I’m waiting to upgrade my main iPhone 3GS) and synchronizing it to my home MacBook Pro 2007 17", I got huge numbers of old repeating meeting which seem to have lost their end-date, e.g., “Palm-size PC Porting Lab” on June 28th this millennium, which I assure you is an error. I restored from a desktop backup, overwrote the iOS4 Calendar data, and synced again.
   After that, I had a miserable day full of a dozen or so Resolve Sync Conflicts dialogs—sometime three or four in a row after a single, very slow, sync. Several times two sync processes used up all my real memory (using over a gigabyte, out of three) and once it even used up all my disk space (I had 29G free). I also had a few rounds of conflict on my work MacBook Pro 2009 13", synced via MobileMe.
   Some historical notes: My calendar data is quite large, going back to Newton days via PalmOS, and iPhone OS 3 never handled it properly, e.g., both search and over-the-air sync are broken on my 3.1.3 iPhone. MobileMe sync data also gets corrupted every few weeks. And “Palm-size PC” was Microsoft’s court-ordered renaming of their trade-mark infringing Palm PC.
Macaulay‘s Law of Software Upgrades:
“To think nothing of symmetry and much of convenience; never to remove an anomaly merely because it is an anomaly; never to innovate except when some grievance is felt; never to innovate except so far as to get rid of the grievance.”

Deleting my caches per http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2481, and restoring and rebooting a couple of times, seems to have shut up the warnings, at least for now, but there's still some data loss, e.g., two meetings on 6/21 and 6/22 don't show up any more on my main Mac, but do show up on both my sacrificial iOS4 iPod, and my real 3.1.3 iPhone. (I’m also having trouble with a Note failing to sync from my iPad, but I haven’t tried that yet since nuking my caches.)

Constant reboot after IOS4 upgrade Solved!

I too was having the dreaded error 29 code and stuck in recovery mode along with the 5 minute constant reboot since upgrading to IOS4 two days ago. I had to use Blackra1n to get it out of recovery. Blackra1n will NOT jailbreak IOS4 but will fix the stuck recovery mode problem. I also had previously replaced the battery with a higher capacity mAh. the upgrade to v3.1.3 went perfect. Only when I upgraded to IOS4 did things change. It would constantly reboot and the battery was slowly draining and would not recharge. I poured through countless forum posts and tried most all of them. Then this evening I found a post somewhere in this forum about possibly the battery was causing the problem. So I got out my tools and put the original battery back in and booted up. It got to the front screen and immediately a bunch of old calendar events started popping up which was different than before. I cleared them all and I have now had my iphone on steady for over an hour and not one reboot. Battery is also now recharging off my laptop.
So long story short, if you've replaced your battery at some point, put it back in or hopefully an OEM with same APN: 616-0434 (#for my iPhone). Everything is now working in IOS4!
