IPhone 6 with iOS 8, AirDrop function will not work.

Hello,
I just bought my wife and I to new iPhone 6 with iOS 8.02 on them.
We have tried to use AirDrop multiple times but it will not work.
wi-Fi and Bluetooth are both enabled, and we have it set to discover are sent to everyone. No matter what we do the phones will not discover each other and will not send an airdrop photo or anything else to the other phones.
I am wondering if anyone else has run into this issue, if it is widespread are there is possibly something I am missing, however the procedure seems straightforward and it appears that it could be an iOS issue or something else going on. It should be noted however that some functions a Bluetooth work, such as connecting to Bluetooth speaker. But the iPhones will not discover one another and AirDrop simply will not work.
does anyone have any ideas on how I can resolve this issue .
any ideas are welcome and appreciated, thank you, Pete

"Although my local Apple store told me face to face that I could not go back and restore to an older version of iOS, my cellular service suggested to save data to iCloud and restore to the store's original iOS 7."
Okay, so I couldn't go back to the factory iOS 7 as the Apple store employee told me. Drat! Note to self, do not automatically update iPhone first thing if it's already working!

My iPhone six with iOS 8.1.1 will not allow me to upload credit card data to Apple pay

My iPhone six with iOS 8.1.1 will not allow me to add credit card data to Apple pay. It does not recognize my credit card in iTunes. I have I have set location to the United States, and restarted. Still nothing. When I enter the passbook app, hit the plus button, select set up Apple pay, select add new credit card,I get no response when trying to add credit card number expiration date etc., nor does the camera feature work. Bottom line is to date, I cannot add any credit card data at all.

I am guessing there is something about your situation that occurred outside the U.S. Perhaps you purchased your iPhone outside the U.S., or live outside the U.S., ...
At the moment, Apple Pay only works in the U.S.

Help with Xcode 3.2.6 with ios sdk 4.3: will not work...

So I recenty upgraded my Mac to OS X Snow Leopard (10.6.8) and the xcode that came with it would not work effectively. I just downloaded xcode 3.2.6 with ios sdk 4.3 from Apple and installed them (after having to change the date to 2011). Xcode worked but opening the interface builder resulted in a blank window opening, not the actual interface builder. So then I tried to reinstall the .dmg file of xcode and ios sdk, which was again successful, but when I click on any of the applications it installs to open them I get an error. This is what happens when trying to open xcode:

Can anyone please help me? Ps, I've changed the directory location to "myname" for security reasons;p so that is not the problem

The error message is telling you that the linker is looking for the Xcode executable on your desktop and can't find it. Where did you install Xcode? The default location is in /Developer.
It sounds like you have an outdated alias to Xcode on your desktop. Can you launch Xcode if you navigate to Xcode in the Finder and launch it from there?

After updating my iPhone 5 to iOS 8.1 it will not connect to the wifi network at work even though it recognizes it. It however still automatically connects to the network at home. I have restared the phone and toggled the router, still no connection

After updating my iPhone 5 to iOS 8.1 it will not connect to the wifi network at work even though it recognizes it. It however still automatically connects to the network at home (this is the network I used to update the phone). My iPad however does not seem to have any problem connecting. I have restared the phone, toggled the router, re-entered the network password but there's still no connection.

When your device is trying to connect to the work Wi-Fi network, go to Settings > Wi-Fi > then tap on the name of the Netowrk that she is having trouble with. Then tap on forget this network. Let the device attempt to connect again and make absolutely sure she is trying to connect to the work network and not a nearby network, then make absolutely sure the password is entered correctly.

Hello SajidChaudhary,

Camera isn't functioning or has undesired image quality
If the screen shows a closed lens or black image, force quit the Camera app.
If you do not see the Camera app on the Home screen, try searching for it in Spotlight. If the camera does not show up in the search, check to make sure that Restrictions are not turned on by tappingSettings > General > Restrictions.
Ensure the camera lens is clean and free from any obstructions. Use a microfiber polishing cloth to clean the lens.
Cases can interfere with the camera and the flash. Try gently cleaning the lens with a clean dry cloth or removing the case if you see image or color-quality issues with photos.
Try turning iPhone off and then back on.
Tap to focus the camera on the subject. The image may pulse or briefly go in and out of focus as it adjusts.
Try to remain steady while focusing:
Still images: Remain steady while taking the picture. If you move too far in any direction, the camera automatically refocuses to the center.
Note: If you take a picture with iPhone turned sideways, it is automatically saved in landscape orientation.
Video: Adjust focus before you begin recording. You can also tap to readjust focus while recording. Exiting the Camera application while recording will stop recording and will save the video to the Camera Roll.
Note: Video-recording features are not available on original iPhone or iPhone 3G.
If your iPhone has a front and rear camera, try switching between them to verify if the issue persists on both.
Have a nice day,
Mario

I have tried to update my iPhone using the iTunes method but it will not work. The message "The iTunes update server could not be contacted. Please check your internet connection or try again later," appears. What do I do? The Internet is working fine.

Have you tried the following troubleshooting document?
iTunes for Windows: iTunes cannot contact the iPhone, iPad, or iPod software update server
If you end up using the If the iTunes Store opens successfully section of the document, and the "Automatically detect settings" checkbox is already checked, try unchecking and rechecking it and clicking OK.

Try this.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
