IPad Folders VANISH and Apps scattered with every update or restore

With the introduction of folders for iOS there has been an issue since DAY ONE! New devices (upgrades), restoring from backups, and iOS updates ALL screw up your folders. I have spent HOURS sorting though my 400+ apps and putting them into folders (BTW the current iTunes UI does not work well when you have MANY apps...I have a feeling that all tests are done with a handful of apps and does not reflect the average user with hundreds of apps)
With every update or restore, the Folder information is all lost and apps are scattered onto 20+ pages of apps. Some folders remain but all but 2 apps remain in them. Some pages are created with only 2-3 apps on them. No mater what I do, there is no fix. Someone on the Apple Care Senior Tech Support said it happens to her all the time and that it is "expected".
I know this isn't NEW to anybody because the Apple support community is LOADED with similar complaints. I have included links below. It is obvious that it is a BUG with iOS and needs to be addressed please. I was told by the Apple Care support person that the only solution would be to bombard you with the complaint. It seems like support has been bombarded all ready yet there isn't any communication going on between the two units.
Please ADDRESS. I will not install any more updates until the problem is fixed.

Did you put the iPad into Recovery Mode? Follow the steps in this Apple support document:
If you can't update or restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
It could be an internal hardware failure though, as the Apple technician explained. While not common these things do happen. If that's the case you options are to replace the iPad with an identical model using the Out of Warranty replacement process and paying the $299 fee or purchase a new replacement iPad.

I've updated my Macbook Pro and my iMac with Maverick, updating the various apps. On my Macbook, everything functions perfectly. On my iMac, I get the Your System has Run out of Application Memory, and it's based our Mail, the only app not updated. Ideas?

Maverick and Your System message
I've updated my Macbook Pro and my iMac with Maverick, updating the various apps (Pages, Aperture, iPhoto, Numbers & iMovie, too) in the process.
On my Macbook, everything functions perfectly. On my iMac, I get the Your System has Run out of Application Memory message. But it's not Calendar, it's Mail that not only won't open, but when it does now, it takes the entire system out with it.
I open Safari, and it works. I open Firefox, and it works and Safari still works. I open Calendar and it works, Safari and Firefox continue to work. I open Reminders, and everything still works.
I open Aperture, and it opens Finder instead, showing the 3.5 update that was installed two days ago (and Aperture has functioned), but doesn't seem to update the app; after about 20 seconds the update disappears and I can now open Aperture and it shows I'm now opening the updated Aperture, which it didn't show before.
I click on Mail, and the cursor spins for ten minutes. The mail window finally opens, but the cursor spins and does not connect to upload new mail, and I finally Force Quit Mail. Since the Maverick update, even though Mail was not updated (and maybe because Mail was not updated), I have been able to receive emails twice, and then the program crashed.
Besides the Aperture app, Pages didn't fully update on the iMac, and I had to remove the old Pages icon from the dock after the new program loaded up from Applications.
Any ideas?

What happens if I make a picture album on my ipad or iPhone and then sync with my Mac? Will it add a new album to iPhoto on my Mac? Also, what will happen if I add pictures on my ipad to existing albums that I made in iPhoto on my Mac?

So what I have gleemed from this thread - is that Apple will not help me if an iPad mini is dropped and the screen breaks. I would have lived without the insurance if I could have simply bought a new screen and then had it replaced by Apple.
On something so fragile I would have expected a piece of glass to be a replacement part. But I am glad I made this post because now I no for sure if I break the screen there is no way to have it fixed by Apple and keep it in Warranty.
Yup, kind of like anything else you accidentally break that is more cost effective to replace than to repair. Keep that iPad away from the toddler

Why does my iPhone 4 get slower with every update? (iPod app special)

When i tab ipod and then movies i almost have to wait longer than with my old iPhone 3G. And it get worst with every update. ***? I am thinking about downdating to 3.something then my iPhone 4 was really quick.

Here is my update on this issue. This isn't normal. I spoke to several tech support people, sr tech support people, etc and we found out that somehow my battery was damaged during the update. They found this out by sending me a diagnostic file via sms. I was sent into the apple store to replace my phone. I had it a little under a year, with 40 days left on my warranty. When I went to the store I was able to show the rep at the store the issue described in this thread. He just scratched his head. It was a quick swap. I spent a lot of time trying to fix this issue. I tried everything. Removing itunes_control files, several restores, starting from scratch. I could duplicate the issue every time. It's a bug and I'm sure it will be addressed. If you are still under warranty, I would recommend getting it checked by an apple tech to see if it messed up your battery and perhaps get it replaced. Battery issues on these devices cause lots of problems.

Plug it into iTunes and restore it with your backup. You should have a backup in iTunes or iCloud.

Same issue. Since last update (a few days ago), acces to itunes account failed very often.
- Music iTunes Match doesn't work anymore because it cannot log.
- Renting video often failed because it cannot "verify authorization".
I tried already several restart, reinitialize, restore... all without improvement.
PS: of course my apple account is working fine with other devices. This issue concerns only Apple TV.

backup the device with itunes.
Restore the device with itunes and set up as new.
Sign into the facetime and imessage to activate it.
After that is done and activation is good.
Restore from the backup.
Then make sure to sign into facetime and imessage again and you should be good to go

Have you tried a reset? Hold down the home button along with the sleep/wake button until you see the apple, then let go.

I have an A5X chip iPad with retina display with AppleCare . If my iPad broke would apple replace it with the updated iPad with retina display?

They will replace your "broken" iPad with an iPad of equal type .... so NO, they will not replace it with a new iPad 4th generation. They will actually replace your "broken" iPad with a refurb, not a new one.
