IPhone 5 iOS 6 FaceTime on wifi and 3G bug
Think this is a bug. I have iPhone 5 with latest IOS 6.0.2 I think.
When I have 3G mobile, but not data enabled and I have a wifi connection FaceTime does not work and says 'connecting' but no connection is ever made.
If I change the settings to 3G with data or wifi only with no 3G then FaceTime works.
At home I have a 3G signal booster connected to my router as I have poor mobile coverage in my area do the 3g signal booster is a must have.
I don't like having 3G data on as well though as this drains my battery quickly and is expensive on data costs From my provider.
Tried to log a bug with apple this is easy to replicate.

So if I understand you correctly when you have 3G data turned off and on wifi - you can't use facetime.
YOu can use wifi for facetime - the other party needs to be on wifi or cellular data.
You can use cellular data for facetime only if your cell providers offers that.

My IPAD2 failed to download ios 8 via wifi and itunes
I tried to download IOS 8 via wifi and I got an error message that the download failed. I tried to download via ITunes and got the error message network failure. I did this numerous times both ways. My Iphone 5S downloaded fine via wifi.
I have similar problem on an iPad. I have FIOS with 83 meg download speeds. According to apple my download will take 32 hours. They are having a problem and are not addressing it. This is the third day I have been getting this problem. How do we get apple to tell us what is going on. I am willing to cooperate but need to know what to do.

Is my iPhone 4 greyed out wifi and non working bluetooth software or hardware... seems that the forums are full of this issue with no consistent or official answer. is it all coincidence that so many are having the problem? Please help... I have scoured the net trying everything the last few days.
Please correct your porfile: iPhone 4 do not have IOS 6.1.4.
The usual troubleshooting steps are, also remember to test it after every step:
1. Restart
2. Reset
3. Restore from backup
4. Restore as new.
If no joy, make an Appointment with the Apple genius and have them evaluate -
When do I know if my iphone will switch to wifi and not that it costs somemoney to my phone network operator? is there a spec setting I must do.
Or is it enough to have the phone set to wifi and phone connects directlywhen it makes contact with a wifi network?Thank you again for all of your help!! I really appreciate it!
I think I am following -- I was able to upload to my iPhoto and all photos and videos are there that is a plus! I tried to create an Event in my iPhoto and put all of my photos in that event but for some reason, now my iTunes it not recognizing that Event in my iPhoto. It is not allowing me to import just that event at the moment but I may be doing something wrong. At least all of my pics and vids are in iPhoto so that is a plus and I know they are at least saved somewhere. Just for some reason, my iTunes it not locating the event that I created with only those photos.
Thank you for letting me know about my contacts! How do I know if I have the contacts app?
Also, I had no clue that my iCloud could be backed up via cellular data! However, is this a new feature with the most updated iOS?? Unforutnatly I am like 2 iOS updates behind because I don't have enough storage on my phone. I still get the notification that my phone needs to be plugged in and connected to wifi in order to back up to the cloud :-(
How can I sync using USB? Right now when i click on the info tab for my iPhone in my iTunes this is the answer that I get -- I am a little unclear as to what it means.
Sync Contacts:
Your contacts are being synced with you iPhone over the air from iCloud. Over-the-air sync settings can be changed on you iPhone

Hello to all my readers.I am still using my Apple G4 1.25 Ghz MDD running Leopard 10.5.8 with iTunes 10.6.3 installed. Can I use an Phone 4s with iOS 5 with this set up? I have read the iPhone iOS 5 user guide and it appears that I can but is anybody actually doing it ? My current phone is a £10 Nokia and I've neither wish nor cash to spend more than a grand upgrading to an intel based machine (at the moment) ! Regards to you all.
If you can find an iPhone running iOS5 and those are the specs for iOS5, there is no reason it should not work.
If you want a more current version of iOS or a more current device, a Windows computer is always an option at significantly less cost.
Granted, there is no requirement to have a computer to use an iPhone. -

Stop being impatient.
From the article that the question was posted from:
Errors related to downgrading iOS
The required resource cannot be found: This alert message occurs when your device has a newer version of iOS than what is available in iTunes. When troubleshooting a device that presents this alert message, go to Settings > General > About and check the version of iOS on the device. If it is newer than the latest released iOS version, the device may have a prerelease developer version of iOS installed. Installing an older version of iOS over a newer version is not supported.
Error 1015: This error is typically 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. This error can also occur when an unauthorized modification of the iOS has occurred and you are now trying to restore to an authorized, default state.
You cannot downgrade.
If you have a 3GS, you can only install iOS 6.1.3 which is the current version of iOS for the device. -

IOS Music app: Album and Artist bugs
My iPod touch (5th generation, iOS 7.1.1) has several bugs in its Music app. Here is how I was able to reproduce the bugs.
Go to the Artists view.
Select an artist from an album with multiple artists. (Example album: The Lego Movie; example artist: Will Arnett)
Go to the Albums view.
Select the same album from step 2.
BUG 1: The album only shows the song by that artist. I should see all songs on the album. In addition, the duration of all songs in the album is limited to the song I see, rather than all songs on the album. (When connected to the Internet, "Show Complete Album" appears. [Screenshot] Tapping it invites me to download all of the other songs in the album, which I already have.)
Go to the Artists view.
Select another artist from the same album from step 2. (Example artist 2: Mark Mothersbaugh)
BUG 2: I only see songs by the artist in step 2, rather than songs by the artist I selected. [Screenshot]
Go to the Albums view.
Close and re-start the iOS Music app.
Select the same album from step 2. I see all of the album's songs again.
Go to the Artists view.
Select an artist from the same album as in step 2.
BUG 3: I see the entire album, rather than just the songs by the selected artist. In addition, the artist at the top of the screen is the artist of the first song in the album. [Screenshot]
Can anyone else confirm this bug? Also, what is the best way to report this bug to Apple?Unfortunately, the 15-minute edit deadline on my original post passed, so I need to make the following correction here:

facetime is on but doesn't work. What do I do?
Hi.
Both parties must be connected via Wifi for Facetime to work.
If wifi is not a possibility, I recommend you try Skype's video calling funtionality as that works over wifi and 3G.

Can iPhone 4 operate on WiFi and be a WiFi Tethered Point at the same time?
I hope this has not been discussed before and don't know why someone would want to do it other than to check your tethered setup is working. Just looking for a technical answer.
I used my iPhone 4 on my local WiFi network and set it to create it's own WiFi tethered data access point with different password encryption. I was then able to log into it with a Windows laptop using the iPhone's WiFi. When I downloaded something from the Internet, the 3G usage did not increase, only the tethered usage increased.
I was told that as soon as tethered data is used, it will use the 3G connection. The counters do not indicate this is happening. There was no change in the 3G counter even after refreshing it, but the tethered counter increased as anticipated.
Is this operation possible?You seem to understand it. I believe that when you tether, you have a separate allowance (I believe mostly it is 2GB) aside from your normal data balance. When you tether, it automatically uses the 3G to tether, not the wifi and the data will be subtracted from your tethering allotment. When you use data on your phone, it is subtracted from your normal data allowance (the pool not reserved for tethering) but only when using 3G. If you are on wifi on your PHONE (not tethering) it won't subtract. Hope that sort of makes sense.

IPhone iOS 4.3.4 and 4.3.5 matter
My itune cannot sync / backup data from my iphone since the iOS of the iphone upgraded from 4.3.3 to 4.3.4 and 4.3.5.
Anyone can help??? please.
(i am using PC and itune 10, iphone iOS 4.3.5 now)Thanks for your acknowledgement.
What I usually do is plug the iPhone via USB to my PC, iTune will atomatically pop up and take 5steps for "backup" my iPhone before I can manage the apps / photos / musics etc. The "backup" process is to be done within a few mintues.
However, after upgrading the iOS of my iPhone to 4.3.4,
1. A verification on my iPhone carried out. It takes over 30mins to finish the process
2. The "backup" process could not be initiated
3. Due to 2., I cannot modify the apps for my iPhone via iTune
4. Updates to 4.3.5 was not allowed since "backup" could not be carried out.
So, as suggested by my friend, I restore my iPhone to default and install iOS 4.3.5. And sync the "backup" record of 24/7 onto the iPhone.
I thought that the "Backup" matter can be solved after this action and the upgrade to 4.3.5, however, such "backup" process is still not permitted. The "status bar" keeps running without having any progress.
What should I do for fixing this problem?
I have already lost a few valuable photos taken by my iPhone since 25/7 till now....
