IPod on iPhone after ios5 update

After update iPod works when it feels like it. Play button will show as on but no sound or movement of time bar. Also will say playing one song  ur is actually playing something different. Will skip songs for no reason as well.

My iphone 4 calendar entries disappeared after upgrading to ios5. I searched and read and tried the various thing that worked for others (delete icloud from iphone, add it back in, restore from backup etc).
None of it worked.
To recover the data here's what has worked for me:
1 Grab the iphone backup file from the backup in iTunes just before upgrading. Copy it out to a temp folder.
2. Grab an iTunes backup extractor. (google it, adding the word supercrazyawesome - thats the one I tried and it worked for me just fine).
3. Feed the backup file to the extractor and pull the item named iOS near the bottom of the list that appears in the extractor to a new folder.
4. Inside the extracted bunch of files/folders, locate Library/Calendar - there is an sqlite database file inside that folder named Calendar.sqldb. That is where all your calendar data is.
5. Use an SQLite database reader (google it - there's free one available, the first one I tried worked for me). Feed it the Calendar.sqldb file.
6. In the Calendar database, choose the item named "Events" - that's your calendar appointments and notes.
7. Export as CSV.
8. Read the CSV into Excel or another spreadsheet to reconstruct your calendar.
9. Last hurdle: to convert the numeric value for dates into date format, use the Excel formula: =”1/1/2001″ + CELL/60/60/24 + OFFSET/24  where F1 is the cell which has date value in spreadsheet and OFFSET is the timezone offset from UTC (7 for California as of 10/16/2011).
Hope this helps.

  • The audiobook I purchased last week is no longer on my iPhone after IOS5 update.  How can I get it?

    After updating to IOS5, the Audiobook that I purchased just last week is not on my iPhone.  I have the receipt for the purchase.  How can I get it back?  The backup that iTunes did prior to the update was terrible and I lost a lot of stuff.  Help! 

    You only get one download.  It is your responsibility to move/copy/backup your purchases.
    Did you fail to transfer it to your computer before updating?

  • GameCenter Account on Ipod Touch 4G after iOS5 update

    Hi iGuys.
    I have two separate gamecenter accounts tied under one (1) apple id. One is for my daughter (ipod) and the other is for my son (ipad).
    Previously, there is no problem logging in in gamecenter - even simultaneously.
    I have just updated my 4th gen ipod touch to iOS5. When I started the smurfs' village game, the game center account reflected in the ipod touch
    is the game center account for ipad. As a result, the game started back from scratch!
    How can I choose the correct username for the ipod touch? It only asks for the apple id password.
    Please help. Thanks in advance!

    I have already corrected this.
    Instead of the email address in the username, we should change that to the gamecenter username instead.
    It worked! Thanks!

  • Smart Playlists not working on iPhone after iOS5 update..

    Okay, so I normally have a custom made smart playlist which I name "Recently Modified" so I can see the list of songs which I have recently updated in quality or changed the artwork etc., but since updating to iOS5, this playlist still works fine on iTunes but appears blank on my iPhone 4 while all other playlists work fine. Any reason why this might be?

    Right, well my settings for it look like this:
    (Date Modified > is in the last > 2 > days)
    It's not as if they are very complicated conditions, so I can't understand what would be wrong. Normally if a playlist had no songs in it, it wouldn't sync right? But this is what the playlist looks like on my iPhone, even though it does contain songs:

  • Music not purchased from iTunes will not play on iPhone after iOS5 update

    Music that I have purchased from iTunes syncs perfectly to the iPhone (3GS) but the music from my library that was not purchased from iTunes (burned from a CD) will show up in the iPhone music list but does not have any artwork nor will it play that music!  Currently my solution has been to delete the defunct music from the iPhone and recopy it from iTunes.  The music will then play but the artwork is missing.  This is a rather irritating problem.  Is anyone else having this issue?  If so, any are any other solutions?  Thanks!

    I have just noticed that I am missing songs since I upgraded to iOS5.  In some cases the art work is there and the length of the song is there but it will not play.  I'm going to try and resync when I get home.  I'll have to check to see if the songs still exist in my iTunes???  Nothing is ever easy is it??

  • After iOS5 update apps blink and don't open and music content is gone and won't sync onto iPod

    After iOS5 update apps blink and don't open after trying to select them, and the music content was completely gone! Help!

    See the following:
    I updated my ipad 2 to ios5 and now apps won't open they just blink.  What should i do?
    Just updated iphone4 to ios5, now apps won't open, they blink once but won't run
    When you look at the storage usage of the iPod in iTunes (the colored bargraph) , how much is in the "other" category? If very large yu will have to restore you riPod to get it down to is normal less than about 1/2 GB.

  • Calendar is not synching after ios5 update

    I use the iphone configuration utility to transfer settings to blank/new iphones (i'm an administrator) and this is how I apply our calendar settings including server paths etc to synchronise the calendar over the internet. Since updating to ios5 this has not worked and, in most cases, the calendar has just gone. Reinstalling the settings has not helped and it still refuses tow ork, if it makes a difference we are currently using SOGo as the calendar server program.

    Beer,
    is that when you want to play music over the air (airplay) like BT headset or something?
    because i am facing the below issue in my car.
    the phone minimizes the volume of airplay and the ringing to 0 when connecting to a device (BT headset or car kit)
    upon disconnecting, the ringing tone remains 0 and i miss all or most of my calls.

  • Why are my contacts and calendars showing up on my daughter's iphone after I updated?  Help!

    Why are my contacts and calendar showing up on my daughter's iphone after I updated?  Is there anyway to remove them or stop
    them from going directly to her phone?  Help!!!!  Thanks guys 

    So, am I to conclude from all this that the best thing for one iMac and multiple family devices (2 x iphones, 1 x itouch, 2 x ipods) is to set up itunes account for each family member.  We don't use iCloud except for my (primary iphone)
    We had similar problems to the above, and since the recent 6.0.1 update we've started getting each others texts, on top of my wife and I's contacts being replicated to our young son's itouch, and a seemingly random redistribution of apps.

  • After ios5 update, iCal week view Oct 2-8 has 2 Saturdays?

    Is anyone else having problems with iCal week view on iPad after ios5 update?
    Two major changes have occurred...
    1. Week view used to start on Monday, now Sunday (and can't change it back).
    2. If you look at the week October 2-8, 2011 there are 2 Saturdays and no Friday or following Saturday...
    Any ideas? Is this a wait for ios5.1 issue?
    Cheers
    Chris

    If you are using a Mac, go to Settings>Software Update ... check for any updates, and update all.
    Chances are you are not using iTunes 10.5, which is required to sync iOS 5.
    If youare using a PC, suggest you uninstall your iTunes, download fresh iTunes 10.5 from Apple.com/itunes and install it.

  • I am trying to back up my new iPhone after downloading/updating iTunes with iCloud. I get this message: The required file was not found or has a permissions error. Correct this permissions problem and try again, or deauthorize this computer if the permiss

    I am trying to back up my new iPhone after downloading/updating iTunes with iCloud. I get this message: The required file was not found or has a permissions error. Correct this permissions problem and try again, or deauthorize this computer if the permiss
    how do I find the file and replace it or install it?

    I'll reload it tonight when I get home...basically, I bought a new iPhone and downloaded some new medical apps. also had to download an update for iTunes into my mac laptop so I could access iCloud (which was NOT on my prior iTunes software)
    When I synched my new iPhone with the newly downloaded iTunes, I registered my iphone and tried to "back it up" to iCloud and the message indicating that "the required file was not found or has a permissions error...." popped up.
    How do I correct the permissions error, or...am I able to do this somewhere? Or...how do I find the file that is missing?

  • HT4623 I am having trouble with my iPod 5th gen after iOS update. It's in recovery mode and iTunes keeps timing out when I try to restore it. What should I do???

    I am having trouble with my iPod 5th gen after iOS update. It's in recovery mode and iTunes keeps timing out when I try to restore it. What should I do??? If possible, I would also like to keep all of my data.

    Maybe this will help:
    Troubleshooting
    As with all clickwheel iPods, you can reset this iPod by first toggling the hold switch on and off and then simultaneously pressing the select (center) and menu buttons for approximately 5-10 seconds. This is a common fix should your iPod behave unexpectedly or lock up. Once reset, the iPod should display an Apple logo for a few seconds before showing the main menu. This procedure is similar to rebooting a computer and damages none of your music or data.
