  • IPhone 4s not recognized after update to ios 7.1

    My iPhone will no longer sync nor show up in windows explorer (running Windows 7) after installing update 7.1. It may be relevant to note that I had replaced the dock connector prior to updating to 7.1, but the device was still syncing and showing up in the explorer. After updating, it won't show up plugged in and not on WiFi sync either.
    I have followed the advice here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1538
    I have had no success. I have tried multiple cables which I don't believe are the issues since they charge just fine.
    Has anyone discovered a solution besides the aforementioned for this?
    UPDATE 1: It should also be important to note that the iphone does not show up in device manager AT ALL. Not under Universal Serial Bus controllers nor Imaging devices. There are no "Other Devices" or "Portable Devices" categories listed on my Device Manager.

    Can anyone please help? This community is not like it used to be...
    The worst part is, I cannot even do a restore since the device does not show in windows at all. I have even tried another computer and it is not showing up. At the very least, can someone tell me if they believe this is iPhone hardware related or iPhone software related?
    As I said, the iPhone was syncing just fine after the dock connector replacement. It was only after updating from ios 7.0 to 7.1 that the problem arose.
    Please any little bit of feedback is helpful.

  • Has anyone encountered drastic shorter battery life both on iphone 5 and ipad since updating to iOS 6.1.2? How can this problem be solved?

    Dear all,
    I am new to this community even though I have been a Apple user for years, so please forgive me if this question is not in the right section.
    Has anyone encountered drastic shorter battery life both on iphone 5 and ipad since updating to iOS 6.1.2? I've always been happy with these two products until the update - now the battery life is considerably shorter which is extremely frustrating.
    How can this problem be solved? Is there any way to go back to the previous version?
    Thanks for your help.

    If you update using iTunes the phone is first wiped clean, then the new OS is installed, and finally the backup is restored. After this finishes if you sync your music should be restored. Music is not in the backup, because it is already on your computer and duplicating it would use up a lot of hard disk space.
    An OTA update just patches what has changed; it does not disturb content.

  • Since updating to iOS 6.1.3 can not get BBC I player, ITV player, Catchup and u tube to to work properly

    Have you tried restarting or resetting your iPad?
    Restart: Press On/Off button until the Slide to Power Off slider appears, select Slide to Power Off and, after the iPad shuts down, then press the On/Off button until the Apple logo appears.
    Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10 seconds). Ignore the "Slide to power off"
    If this doesn't work backup and restore your iPad using iTunes. Something must have been corrupted in your update process.

  • I recently upgrade to an iPAD Air. I gave my old iPAD (1st gen) to my wife.  I restored it to original factory conditions.  Now we cannot install iBook on it since it requires iOS 7.  What can we do with older iPADS that are still 100% functional.

    Look at this similar problem in getting Netflix on an iPad 1. Same technique should work for you.

  • HT2476 I got my Macbook Pro from another user (different apple id) and now i'm not able to update iPhoto and iMovie. What can i do?

    I got my Macbook Pro from another user (different apple id) and now i'm not able to update iPhoto and iMovie. What can i do?

    You need to contact Apple and transfer that computer, the serial number, into your name and your Apple ID. Then you should be able to update the included Apple Apps from the App store. No need to Re-buy them again.
    Caveat to the above.
    If your Mac did not originally come with Lion Preinstalled, early releases of early 2011 models and older, and originally had Snow Leopard installed the original owner should of supplied the Mac OS X System Discs with the system. If that person didn't you should order them from Apple at a small fee, and don't lose them.

  • IPhone 4s Screen Flickering since updating to IOS 7.0.4

    Hi Guys,
    I recently updated my iPhone 4s to iOS 7.0.4 and ever since then the screen is flickering in all four corners. I have been through all the forums about this issue and I have tried the trouble shooting techniques that are mentioned ie; turn off the auto brightness and turn it back on, or leave it off. I mean when i turn the brightness right down it stops flickering but that is not something that I want to have to do.
    I have tried restoring the phone and this hasn't resolved the issue.
    The phone is out of warranty but this issue was not caused by something that I have done but because of something that is recommended by apple (Updating the iOS).
    When I tried to contact apple through chat they have asked me to pay to trouble shoot which is something that I am not willing to do.
    I really need some help here if there is anything that someone could recommend to do to fix this it would so much appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Chris

  • AirPrint from iPad not working since update to iOS 6.1

    I am unable to print from my iPad3 since I updated to iOS 6.1 last weekend.  I have the Lantronix xPrintServer Home Edition which had been allowing me to print to my networked Brother HL-5250DN as if it were an AirPrint printer.  Now, I get the message, "No AirPrint Printers Found" when I try to select a printer in the Printer Options menu.  Is there a way to roll-back this update???

    It's probably best to contact Lantronix. From the AirPrint Basics page:
    "You also need an AirPrint-enabled printer listed in this article. Printers not listed in this article are not supported by AirPrint."
    The xPrintServer is not listed on the AirPrint Basics page.

  • Iphone 4S speaker gone since updating with ios 6

    I updated my iphone 4S with ios 6 updates and since then the speakers are gone. I can't hear the phone ring or put on the speakers. There seems to be some glitch in the ios 6 and apple needs to fix it fast. The phone is , well, almost useless without speakers. Can anyone suggest alternative ways of fixing it.

    A reset should clear this up, press and hold the home and power buttons for 15-20 seconds until the white Apple logo appears.
    If that doesn't resolve it, a restore as new will.
    If neither resolves, you have a serious hardware issue.
    Downgrading the iOS is not supported and may have damaged the device beyond repair.  It may have also voided your warranty.

  • I still cannot stream YouTube/Netflix/iPlayer etc. on my iPhone 4 via WiFi since updating to iOS 6.0.1....can anyone please solve this for me??

    I posted a couple of days ago about a problem my iPhone 4 was having trying to stream video via WiFi
    Basically, since I upgraded to iOS 6.0.1 I cannot stream YouTube videos via the app or via Safari, Netflix will not work nor will services such as BBC iPlayer.
    I've also discovered this evening I cannot stream any radio apps either.
    All of them will play for 10-30 seconds then stop buffering making them impossible to play.
    I was given several pieces of advice including restoring the phone to factory settings, restoring it as a new phone, hard resetting twice in a row, deleting all the cache/data in Safari but nothing that has been suggessted has solved the problem.
    I know it is not a problem with my internet/WiFi as I have a laptop and a PC both using it and streaming YouTube/raddio stations etc. with no problem. Also, my girlfriend has a 3GS with the old YouTube player and that works with no problems at all.
    Can anyone please help me out as it's getting a bit frustrating not being able to use the streaming function on my iPhone.
    One thing that is odd, I have no problem surfing the web on the phone via WiFi or streaming over 3G. It is only a problem when trying to stream video/audio over WiFi.
    Thanks.
