IOS8 Ford Sync Issues and Apps Crashing!

Hi all,
I saw that there are others that are experiencing the same issues, but I can't reply for some reason, so in an effort to get Apple on board with fixing the issue. I am starting a new thread - Apologies for the length, but I am really annoyed...
My phone is syncing okay via bluetooth in my 2013 Ford Explorer, as far as actual calls go, but I typically have to plug it in to my system to have access to voice control for music, a consistent issue between the MS operating system in the car and Apple. Anyway, I have noticed several issues over the course of the last few updates. 1st, they (I am not sure if "they" means, Apple or Microsoft) finally corrected the read text feature, and then MS updated the car operating system and I can no longer use this feature. Super frustrating when we are trying to be safe... but a minimal issue. Then, the alerts won't come through if the phone is plugged in, only when unplugged via BT. Again, not a huge problem while driving, but annoying.
THEN the real music issues began. I started noticing that the music title was correct, but the album cover was  way off, some days it is all the way off, and other days it is less. After previous update, when I plug my phone in to the USB port, it will start at the beginning of my songs list. The most annoying part about this, is that when I close apps, I am very careful about keeping my playlist open, as the first song I have is kind of annoying. I know Tiff, DELETE the song, but there is a place for it depending on my mood. Anyway, I digress...  I assume this is another app crash issue. Now, with iOS8, when I plug it in, the car states it is on autoplay, but nothing happens, I have to hit play it on on my phone... which has crashed, AGAIN, so I can't use the fast play option from a locked screen due to the crash, so I have to search for my play list. Becuase of the MS/Apple issue, I can't use the hands free feature via BT, becuase of the apps crashing it has to "Download" my playlists... but ONLY if it is plugged in as previously noted. So, while I realize I sound spoiled, the point is, the reason I bought this particular model is to get the My Ford Touch. I want to be able to use the safety features... And the reason I stay with Apple is because I am loyal, and the thought of getting my music on another device stresses me out... I am already having issues transferring from a PC to my new iMac... PS I carry 2 phones for work purposes, with 2 different providers, and both are experiencing the issues, not to mention my husband's too.
Now, to face the app crashes... It is getting worse every day, most apps are constently crashing. The Weather app takes a really long time to load current weather and Facebook crashes so many times while it is loading it isn't even worth checking unless you have time to load it over and over. Beta needs to be really tested and tested by real hard core users to get this figured out PRIOR to launch. I would expect some small issues, but these seem like a lot. Fix the crashing, that will solve problem 1 of the music not starting where left off. and Fix the auto start when plugged into devices. I have checked all of the settings I can think of and nothing.
Finally, the entire phone freezes all the time. multiple times daily I have to do a hard start...

Try shutting your iPhone totally off. Then wait 60 seconds and turn back on.
>>>  I want to be able to use the safety features.  <<<
Looks like mobile phones will soon be disabled, or partially disabled when they're in motion anyway.
And they're not just talking about Texting.

  • IOS8 Slow Performance, Keyboard Bugs and App Crashes on iPhone 5

    Since updating my iPhone 5 to iOS8, performance has slowed considerably: Apps take longer to launch and interface animation stutters.
    When turning the phone on and off, the screen goes black - I have to keep pressing the on/off sleep/wake switch to get the screen to illuminate.
    Typing this in landscape on my iPhone 5 (using the standard keyboard - I've not tried installing any third party keyboards yet) is taking ages: There are now only two lines of text visible due to the word-suggestion feature. I've just noticed as I type this that the text display isn't automatically scrolling, so unless I manually scroll down the window, I can't see what I'm typing!
    Positioning the magnifying glass is challenging - its position is not following my finger! The behaviour of the backspace is also unpredictable . . . and I am now typing this on my Mac because Safari crashed mid-sentene ! (Thank goodness this site auto-saves - I didn't have to start again when I logged into my Mac!)
    I like all the new iOS8 features (although the key feature for me - the health app - is not linking to any fitness apps yet due to an Apple-acknowledged bug). But the performance hit, bugs and app crashing created by the iOS8 upgrade means I now want to return to iOS7.
    I'm surprised at these issues because, unlike previous iOS releases, IOS 8 was in public beta for a few months, as well as being with developers since WWDC.
    If Apple are going to move iOS deeper into the enterprise (with IBM for example) its needs to prioritise stability - even if it means moving from an annual upgrade cycle. Apple hasn't managed this with Mac OS - the last three Mac OS updates have not been usable in an enterprise/Pro App environment until around 9 months after their release.

    ios8 for my iphone 5 = crashes, hot phone, restarts, dropped calls, funny looking fuzzy 'senior picture screen' with frost on the perimeter.....  Just opening 'message' for texts takes 3-4 seconds to load, where previously, it was milliseconds latency speeds.  I think they pressed this OS beyond the reasonable functional limit of the hardware (phones), especially with the older phones and/or phones with less memory.
    It's like an athlete on steroids, the bones can't handle the force of the muscles and something is gonna BREAK!
    When did we ever come to think that $400 phones would become 2-4 year disposable items and revere at the glory of it all!  And whether we realize it or not, it's being shoved down our throats.
    Just fix the OS please so my phone can work for me as it has in the past.
        For the $$ being paid out, we shouldn't have to reset, restart, restore......

  • CC application file sync issue and CC App broken menu..

    1. File sync from Photoshop CC has stopped working.
    Photoshop reports the last sync time and date in edit>sync settings.
    However in my Application settings I get the following..
    Application settings are synced between many of your favorite desktop applications and Creative Cloud, allowing you to work consistently from any machine. To begin syncing, you will need to open your desktop application and click "Sync Settings Now".
    You currently do not have any synced settings.
    2. I have missing menu items in the CC app cog menu (I assume as reported on other threads) including "stop syncing", preferences/settings and other blank or greyed out items.
    Prior to that I had the also reported dead CC app issue and uninstalled and reinstalled the app, which fixed dead app but left the munu broken.

    Since the CC app messed up again and yet another reinstall, it is working (sort of, after several sync failures of lrcat) properly, including the menu, all be it very slowly considering the fast upload I have.
    As is the setting sync finally.
    Thanks for keeping me informed, oh wait, you didn't!

  • Application Sync Issue and Load Issue

    My newly purchased 16GB phone will no longer launch the free apps I have downloaded. I followed some directions that said to delete them from the phone and then sync from iTunes (after logging off and then back on iTunes). I get the error message:
    Some of the applications in your iTunes library, including "...", were not installed on the iphone "..." because you are not authorized for them on this computer.
    I have no idea what has happened and I am not finding the solution .

  • With home sharing, can I sync music and apps on multiple computers at home?

    Hi.
    With home sharing, can I sync music and apps on multiple computers at home?
    Basically, I want to sync my iphone and ipad on 2~3 computers at home without deleting contents in my iphone and ipad.
    thanks.

    I did some more checking as I still had my old computer online.
    I booted and went into iTunes.
    Under DEVICES, the TV was listed, along with MUSIC, PHOTOS, PLAYLISTS, much like an iPod/Touch.
    When I went into PREFERENCES->TV DEVICES, the TV was listed and on the site, it stated SYNCING.
    On the other computer, it listed STREAMING.  I did do a RIGHT CLICK on the device and selected "STOP STREAMING" and it disappeard - must RE-PAIR with the unit I guess.
    I'm afraid to perform the following, but if someone out there has the equipment, maybe they can check...
    Make sure nothing else is managing the TV.
    Pair with the unit so you have all sorts of options under the device and it shows 'syncing'.
    Now, create a new account and perform the same thing or use another Mac.  I believe it will limit you to STREAMING only.
    My thoughts are that ONLY ONE computer can sync (just like other device).  I have to disconnect the association with the old computer.
    Even though I moved everything over with Migration Assistant, I didn't have any issues with managing the iPhones, but I'm wondering if there is a Computer UUID that the AppleTV is TIED to.  Since I'm on a different computer UUID, and it's being managed by another one, I'm limited to STREAMING.
    Only other choice is to RESET the unit - now, where did my manual go?
    Thoughts?

    No.  Apps are only compatible with devices running iOS such as the iPod touch, iPhone, and iPad.

  • How to solve the syncing issues of apps downloaded? They are stuck on "loading" and "waiting"

    Syncing issues from iTunes to iPad. Apps are showing as "loading" and "waiting"

    I had the same issue and tried several options like rebooting, resyncing, deleting and reinstalling apps, restarting the network connection but none of them worked. Eventually I opened iTunes on my iPhone (not on Mac) to find that it had two pending downloads that was stopping the rest of the apps from loading fully.  You need to cancel them by swiping left to right over the listed apps and select cancel/delete. It worked for me.  Good luck!

  • Iphone 4 5.0.1 Music deleted and App crash

    I was listening to music today and all of a sudden my phone shuts off and I turn it back on with all the music gone except one folder of a band I listen too but there is no music in it, and everytime I search for music in the music app it crashes and sends me back to the home screen, I'm jailbroken on 5.0.1 and I have never had this problem, its been jailbroken for 3 months now and everythings fine and I did not update or download anything in the past week that could have caused this... I've tried syncing music again but the music app is the same and still crashes with no musicc. Itunes says I have 8gb worth of music on my phone but I really don't have anything.. Everything else works perfectly fine, apps, videos, photos..etc..
    What could be the problem? My only choice is to resort to restoring to factorie settings but I really don't want to lose all my apps and tweaks that I have costimized to my liking on my Iphone 4...

    Nevermind. I figured it is because of the new 'push' service for the Sparrow mail client released today on Cydia, called Sparrow Push (OH yeah, my phone is jailbroken...:)). I did uninstall other relavant tweaks and utilities I recenty installed from Cydia but never though this Push service had any relavance.

  • Finder and apps crashing constantly.

    This problem started when I downloaded an archive file. I downloaded The Unarchiver to try and open it, but there was a password on the archive which I didnt have, and I quit and deleted it. It was pretty inconsequential.
    From that moment on, EVERY app crashed, most of the time when I went to save files. Some of them, like Spotify, would just not open. Most frustrating of all is that Finder just will not relaunch. Every time I went to shut down or restart, my mac would just hang on the grey shutdown screen and do absolutely nothing from that point on without holding the power down.
    It seems like it's probably finder that is causing the other apps to malfunction, but I've tried a few different things to fix it. Obviously the first thing I did was get rid of the arhive and The Unarchiver, I tried to use TimeMachine but for some reason it was asking for a server password which I've never had. I found this command useful online:
    sudo update_dyld_shared_cache -force
    This command allowed me to shut down, but I had to use it every time or else I'd end up with the grey screen hang again.
    Since all of my files are on a wireless HDD, I decided to just do a clean reinstall. It was all fine, until I started updating the OS/Re-loading all my software. Never had a problem with any of the software previously, and I dont remember any updates being the cause of the issues...
    Please help? I'm lost.
    OS X version 10.8.4

    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
    Step 1
    Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
    View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar.
    Enter the name of the crashed application or process in the Filter text field. Select the messages from the time of the last crash, if any. Copy them to the Clipboard (command-C). Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).
    When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
    Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
    Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
    Step 2
    Still in the Console window, look under User Diagnostic Reports for crash reports related to the process. The report name starts with the name of the crashed process, and ends with ".crash". Select the most recent report and post the entire contents — again, the text, not a screenshot. In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.) Please don’t post shutdownStall, spin, or hang logs — they're very long and not helpful.

  • Safari and Apps crashing

    I know of the facebook app crashing all the time and it also crashing in safari. Now I am seeing safari crashes sometimes while viewing pages beside facebook and sometime my other apps with cause my iPad to crash back to the home screen Anyone else going through this?

    The standard way to recover a crashing device is to restore it.  Plug it in to iTunes, let it sync, then choose "Restore" from the iPad's summary page in iTunes.

  • My iPod 3g said it had no songs, the wifi was greyed out, my videos wouldnt work,bluetooth wouldnt work, and apps crashed

    So i'm travelling in Vietnam. Staying at this hotel, my ipod suddenly stopped being able to search for wifi, and constantly had the 'circle' indicating loading.. however my music and apps were still intact. However, i restarted my ipod, and when i turned it back on it said  had no songs and no videos when i loaded Music, and when i tried using apps they showed the initial default screen of the app and then crashed. i tried connecting it to itunes, but itunes said it could not read the ipod, so it suggested i restore it. i googled solutions but none of them worked, and my music for itunes is scattered in my laptop and my computer back home. not being able to find solutions, i restored my ipod, and so now all my music is gone. i have to say im extremely disappointed with Apple for not giving solutions that work. im sure countless other people have this problem ( from what i read on forums, they do) . anyone had this problem and actually fixed it without restoring? i'd like to know for the future. thank you.

    Here is Apples' troubleshooting for grayed out wifi. Frequently however, it does not solve the problem and an appointment at the Genus Bar of a an Apple store is in order.

  • Syncing issues and avoiding losing at&t unlimited plan if restore is used

    I am suddenly having syncing issues when I try and sync my 3G ipad.
    I am not sure what has caused this. I did take advantage of last week's software update. Now, when I turn the ipad on, there is a graphic of a serial cord, and when I do get it to connect with itunes, it urges me to restore
    the software.
    I was one of the early purchasers of the ipad, and so qualified for the AT&T unlimited flat rate per month plan. I don't want to lose this subscription.
    I had an Apple express appt. this morning, but never received the phone call!
    I even tried to cancel it online after 30 minutes elapsed, but received the message that the "communication was unavailable!"
    I am wondering if anyone with this special plan has gone through the restore process, and if that ended up wiping out your election for the 3G plan,
    and caused a hassle for you. I like having this $30/mo plan and don't want
    to lose it. Thanks in advance for any advice.

    One other person posted that he lost his plan during the update. If you loose your plan all you have to do is call AT&T to get it reinstated. SInce your iPad says connect to iTunes, you have to restore your iPad. You have no other choice.

  • IPhone Sync issue (and album art messed up)

    Whenever I sync my iPhone with iTunes, instead of just updating the media I have changed, it will randomly add anywhere between 30 to 300 songs that were already on my iPhone. It doesn't cause any problems with using the iPhone other then the fact that it takes a really long time to sync even when I don't change anything or add new media to sync with the iPhone.
    So far I have:
    -made sure I have the latest updates of iTunes and all software
    -re-set iSync
    -done an archive and install
    -had a genius appointment at the Genius Bar at the Apple Store and
    -they replaced my iPhone
    ...but my problems still exist. And on top of that, all of the album artwork on the iPhone is jumbled up. It looks fine in cover flow, but when I switch to the normal mode it will be the wrong artwork with the wrong song. My album artwork in itunes is not jumbled up, but all of the artwork for the movies and tv shows I have bought and downloaded from the iTunes Store has disappeared and I can't get it back by searching for album artwork.
    So, to recap, my 3 main problems are.
    1) iPhone Sync issue
    2) Album artwork jumbled up on iPhone
    3) TV Show and Movie artwork disappearing on iTunes
    If anyone can help your time would be greatly appreciated. Thank you so much.
