IOS6 update causes 4s to intermittently dim.

My iPhone 4s developed this problem after the updated to IOS6. The screen will intermittently auto-dim all the way to near black. Sometimes this will even happen while I'm actively using an app... any app! To get the screen back to it's original brightness setting I have to be in a darkened room so I can see the faint images on the screen and navigate to Settings and Brighness. Sometimes I'll find the slider all the way down, but at other times the slider has not moved at al, the screen is just as dark as it can get without being completely off. I just have to touch the slider and the screen jumps back to being bright.
Is anyone else having this problem? What is the solution?

I have not contacted AT&T yet, because I was hoping this was an IOS 6 bug.
So this is normal when upgrading IOS?
I thought once you got the iTunes confirmation it wasn't possible for it to relock.

IOS6 update causing my girlfriends 3gs to get my iMessages

Wondering if anyone else is having this problem, I updated my 4s and girlfriends 3GS on Saturday, since then, any message's i seem to be getting go to her phone aswel as mine. we both use my apple ID, ive since tried put her own on to the phone but apple store keeps asking for my password when trying to update her apps even tho in the settings her ID is set up?

It may keep asking for your details as the applications were downloaded with your account, and not your girlfriends. If you have created a brand new account then it is probably best to delete the current applications on your girlfriends phone and install them again using her account.
Having two accounts will stop the text messages being recieved on both devices, BUT the downside will be that you will have to purchase/install your applications again from scratch.

Recently my iPad3 and iPhone5 stopped synching automatically to iCloud. Around the same time I backed them both up to my Macbook Pro and installed the iOS6 update. Any thoughts or help is appreciated!

Recently, I noticed that my iPhone5, iPad 3 and iPod Touch 4th Gen stopped backing up to the iCloud automatically despite ALL of them doing so previously, without a single problem. A few weeks ago I bought a Macbook Pro and I backed up all 3 devices to it a couple times (and they still backed up to the iCloud by themselves without a problem). A few days ago, I noticed that ALL 3 OF THEM stopped backing up to the iCloud automatically. Around the same time, I backed them up to my Mac and I also downloaded the iOS6 update. I'm not sure what is wrong. Has anybody else experienced this type of problem? I'm NOT very familiar with MAC computers as this is my first one and I've been learning a lot as I go. I don't know if I did something in the setting's of iTunes when I backed the devices up that could have caused the decives to stop backing up to the iCloud automatically. I did notice on my previous laptop (a Gateway) and on this one (the MacBook Pro) that on each device, I had to go into "Setting's" on each device and turn the "iCloud Backup" back to the "On" position! That was right after I backed them up to each computer. I attempted to fix it yesterday by adjusting the setting's in iTunes, but nothing worked. If anyone can help, I would sincerely appreciate it. Thank you!!!

Ok, I can try those things this afternoon. I have to leave now and won't be able to try for several hours. I'll let you know how things turn out. Thank you again. Also, I am not sure what DNS Setting's are regarding the router and how to change them. Thank you again for trying to help me with this. One side note. I noticed yesterday on another post regarding this topic, a man said he changed his iCloud email from one to another. I have two. One is and @me.com address and one is an @icloud.com address. I switched them around the other day. One device had @me.com as the one the email one be sent from (I think that was the phone) and I believe the iPad 3 had @iCloud.com as the other. Well, I switched them both to @icloud.com. In the post I mentioned a man said that he did that to his, and it worked. That was a few days ago and this was around the same time I began noticing the devices not synching to iCloud like they should. Right now I have for the iCloud email account (on both the iPhone and the iPad) @iCloud.com as the setting that any emails from that account would be sent from and the @me.com is also turned to the "On" position on both devices. I figured that if I'm sending an email from an iCloud account it should say "@iCloud.com" after it rather than "@me.com" after it. I just did that so everthing was the same on both devices and out of personal preference. No other reason really as I don't ever use the account to email anyone and have never given either address to anyone. Only Apple has them and they sent a couple things initially and I never receive anything on that account (for the most part). Ocasionally I get something from Apple and that's a rarity. I don't know if that may factor in at all or not. It did for one gentleman. Thank you randers4!

Ipod not working properly after ios6 update

I recently updated my ipod touch with the ios6 update, and now most of my apps wont open, and others shut down after a few seconds including the app store and itunes! is there any way of reversing the update? or fixing it without having to go to the apple store?

If the update does not work for you then do as I explained in my previous post and roll back to the previous driver. That philosophy can be applied to all updates.
If there is no pressing or emergent reason to update and your PC or notebook is running just great... don't update. (that is especially true when it comes to a BIOS update)
For your issue #2, the problem could be your wireless connection (hotspot, router or modem) that causes the dropped connection.

Iphone ios6 update could not be updated an unknown error has occured 1602

Hello,
So I have an iphone 4s, never had any issue until I tried updating to the new ios6 and shortly while it was applying the ios6 update, it stopped and gave me this error:
could not be updated an unknown error has occured 1602.
To which my Win 7 64 pc would not see it anymore, and itunes would not see it. Went through what apple suggested removed everything and reinstalled itunes, did not work. The only way I could get my iphone working was plugging into another pc running an older version of itunes and restore it. Once done I went back to the original PC worked fine to sync, but when I tried yet again to update to IOS6 it crashed again.
I have spent way too much time on this, spent way too much money on apple products (still need to update another iphone, and ipad, an itouch and an iphone 5), I need this fixed, who can help?
Image shows what happens:

"This error is caused by attempts to downgrade the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch's software. This can occur when you attempt to restore using an older .ipsw file. Downgrading to a previous version is not supported. To resolve this issue, attempt to restore with the latest iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch software available from Apple."

Plug your iPhone into iTunes and update it to the latest supported version, which is 4.2.1.

Why are my iphone4 apps crashing after the ios6 update?

I was very happy with the iPhone4 and it's performance until the iOS6 update. After the update, apps began crashing on my phone. Not just third party apps, Apple apps included. I went to the Genius Bar (very nice and attempted to help). After 3 hours spent trying to fix my phone, the determination was that I had a hardware issue. For $150, they replaced my iPhone4 with a brand new iPhone4. I then updated the software on the new phone to iOS6. After doing that, the phone developed the same problem as the old phone. It will crash in 3rd party and Apple apps. It will then work fine for hours at a time. There seems to be no pattern to the events. It doesn't matter whether I am on wifi or using 3g. I have restored the new phone after the problems started on it and they returned. Is anyone else having these problems? Is this some sort of virus? Does anyone know how to fix it? Failing that, does anyone know how I can get the old software back?

Here is what I did & my phone now works fine:
Ok. I went back to the apple store. They reloaded the IOS6 software from a computer they knew had a good version of the software and treated the phone as if it was a new phone. We did not back it up from my pervious backups. I then reloaded all the apps from the app store and not my computer. My phone is working great now. It appears I had a corrupted copy of the IOS 6 or a corrupted app that was causing the problem and it syncing just fine without the problem returning.

HT201210 I have tried to update to IOS6 and it has prompted me to connect to ITunes but when I do I keep getting the message ' There is no sim card inserted in the Iphone you are trying to activate'. My phone is now locked on the IOS6 update screen!

I have been without mu IPhone 4 since yesterday now as I tried to do the IOS6 update and since then it has messed up my phone and I am unable to access any of it's functions as it is locked on the update screen.
My phone was bought through Vodfone and have been on their network ever since, never had any problems like this.
It prompts me to connect to ITunes and when I do it will not go any further as stating 'No sim card is inserted in the IPhone you are trying to activate'. Well there is a sim in there and I have removed it and reinserted it on many occasions today. I am also not trying to activate my phone as all I did was try to the update which I was prompted to do in my setting!
I have seen many people on the net today with the same or similar problems but as yet I am to find a solution!
Help, please as it is driving me crazy!!!

Try a Hard Reset.....
Press and hold the Wake / Sleep button AND the Home button at the same time, keep them both pressed until the Apple Logo appears on the screen, it can take 10 or more seconds. Ignore the swipe to turn off message.

OS 10.4.10 Update Causing Audio Popping (AND HUM) Issues:

OS 10.4.10 Update Causing Audio Popping (AND HUM) Issues:
The problem on my Intel Mac mini with external Klipsch speakers (two mid-range/high and a subwoofer) is REAL obvious as the system emits a hum like a Spinal Tap amplifier turned up to #11 when 10.4.10 powers down the audio circuitry
Then, if I play a song in iTunes, it first pops and the hum disappears right before playing.
Quite annoying. I restored the mini from a recent backup to 10.4.9. Problem gone.
I'm glad I test updates on the mini before applying them to my Intel iMac 24. I guess I'll just hide & watch what happens before doing any more updates.
Here's what I sent to Apple tech support:
Guys/Gals (OS X Engineers):
Concerning the Snap, Crackle Pop Audio problem in the 10.4.10 update:
Please. Just do the right thing and fix the audio.
There is no need to power cycle the audio subsystem to save .0005 amps on the laptop line.
And then to make your Mac mini/iMac/other desktop users have to put up with it when using AC power is ridiculous.
Put the audio subsystem back like it was in 10.4.9 and let the laptop battery freaks looking for mini-amp savings get a "work-a-round".
Crikey!

Libby,
Backup is unable to make a restorable by Disk Utility backup. You can restore pieces of the software as outlined in my FAQ about backing up user data:
http://www.macmaps.com/backup.html
But to be able to restore a backup with Disk Utility, you need a cloning utility to have made the backup.
I suggest starting a new thread here, where someone else could help you out better:

First off, you'll get a wider audience who may be able to solve your problem. Secondly, responses to you won't confuse the original poster with solutions that don't apply to them. And thirdly, you'll know for certain whether or not a response applies to you.

I switched off my ipod touch 4g during an ios6 update

it was during the ios6 update that i realised for some reason i did not want to update it because of what my friends told me, it had nothing beneficial for the ipod touch 4g, so i decided to switch off my ipod touch 4g and now it would not turn on the only thing that i could do with it was restart it which i have done over 40 times and it either shows the apple logo and then goes dull or turns blue to yellow, yellow to white, grey to white etcetera.
Can someone please help me i don't know what to do with it i've looked everywhere for a solution.
and my dog bit through the top of my usb lead. **** you bellatrix
thanks, Brittanny Pegg

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

My ipod touch 4g just updates today on itunes and the update caused more trouble than good. My ipod will no longer show me the battery percentage in the top right hand corner and also I am not allowed to drag other applications to the bottom panel.

My ipod touch 4g just updates today on itunes and the update caused more trouble than good for me. My ipod will no longer show me the battery percentage in the top right hand corner and I am not allowed to drag other applications to the bottom panel. Also my itunes doesn't allow "enable disk use" anymore. Can anyone help? My ipod now says that it's the 4.3.4 version

- Unjailbroken iPod never showed % battery. Just the icon.
- Unjailbroken iPod Touches never had a disk mode.
- What happens when you try to drag a wiggling app to a empty space in the bottom? Does it move and snap back?

IOS6 update : Music app completely lost...

I updated my iPhone 4s last night, this morning I had a brand new OS, everything works fine... except the Music app. When I updated my iPhone, I had iTunes Match enabled showing my whole Library (approx. 6000 songs) everything was fine in iOS5, but after the update, in the Songs tabs, i have the list showing no name, no duration and when I click on one of the blank slots it's not playing anything.
The artists/albums info are the but as soon as I come a t the song level, everything is blank. It's as if I lost part of an XML file containing the last childs...
I tried to
- reboot
- disable itunes match
- disable showing all my songs and then re-download some to re-initialize my library
- sync from iTunes
- delete everything with iTunes using the manually manage songs
- wipe the phone to restore it with my the last backup (done after the iOs6 update)
Nothing is working.....
If any of you have another idea, I will gladly test it...

I'm in the same boat. Went to the Genius Bar at the Apple store with no results. The guy that helped me stated that one of the genius' had the same issue and could not resolve. I'm away from home so I'll have to wait till Monday. Thais is the last time I'll jump on the first day of an update to be on the bleeding edge.

Recent windows 7 updates caused serious conflicts??

I have two NI PCIe-1433 boards and the NI Max v5.4 installed. Recent win 7 (64 bit) automatic updates, within the last 10 days seemed to cause serious problems. Win 7 couldn't boot any more. Sometimes computer turns on and off by itself before the windows logo shows up. Sometimes it crashes before I can login.
I did a fresh reinstallation of win 7. The same problem happened after some automatic updates. I can boot and use windows 7 if I unplug both NI cards. This makes me think the problem is in NI driver/card. I'm reporting it here to see if anybody experiences similar things.
Earlier this year Win 7 automatic updates caused a problem with my Canon printer/scanner. Canon supplied scan software still does not work today.

Hi Jeremy
Thank you for responding. I do not know which update. I know it's due to some update(s) that happened recently.
After I reinstalled the fresh Windows 7 (64 bit), I installed NI IMAQ software. I was able to use both boards to acquire images at that point. However Windows 7 kept updating itself. Later the same problem happened again.
After unplugging both boards, I have been using the computer for 2 days without a problem. My computer's power supply is 650W. Does the boards require a lot of power?

How do I get my video playlists back on iPod Touch 4G after (epic fail) iOS6 update

As other users have identified, playlists present on iTunes on laptop but not on iPod touch 4G after iOS6 update except when select edit. Can I get them back? Not wasting time messing around. Either this is easily sortable or I get a new player from another maunfacturer - seems Apple can't be bothered to sort these issues so not sure I can be bothered with Apple anymore.

i had a problem simular after doing an update on itunes, I re-set=up the itunes according to my os and its working fine

IOS6 update causes 4s to intermittently dim.
