Ipod problem in iPhone5 after ios8 update

Ever since I updated my iphone5 to ios8, my ipod has a minor problem in it. I am unable to use the alphabet search to locate the song I would like to listen to. Instead, I either have to use the search bar or scroll down to the song I would like to listen to. I figured this was a normal problem and restarted my phone a couple of time. I even synced my phone using itunes, thinking that may help. But the problem still persists. What can I do?

Hi there ruchicuppy,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
One thing you can try, to resolve the search issue in the Music app on your iPhone 5, is restoring the iPhone to factory settings. The article linked below will walk you through the process.

Touchscreen randomness after ios8 update on iphone5

My touchscreen behaves for a short while then after a few presses just starts randomly doing stuff I haven't even pressed and certain areas of the screen do not work then after going to lock screen and coming back it works ok but then flips out again after a few moves. Anybody else having this after ios8 update on iPhone 5.

Same problem here but it started after I updates to ios 8.0.2.... Can anybody help?!

Can not update apps after IOS8 update on iPhone 4s

Can not update apps after IOS8 update on iPhone 4s
I can no longer update apps on my iPhone 4s after the IOS 8 update. The IOS 8 update took a very long time to complete, maybe 12 hours, and afterwards, it worked but updating packages were very slow. Package updates have since been problematic and about 4 days ago, it stopped being able to update any packages. I click on them to update and they never make any progress. I have 2.8 Gbytes free and I keep deleting more and more packages, pictures, etc. It seems like, from the amount of stuff that I have deleted, I should have more than 2.8 Gbytes free.
Is anyone else having this kind of problem?

16GB iPhone4: Go to Settings, scroll down to iTunes & App Stores and touch. At the top of the next page it shows: Apple ID. Touch this. Select Sign Out. Your Apple ID will go away. Re-enter Apple ID and password. Try App Store again.
Other solutions were to go to Settings:General:Date&Time and turn off auto-update, then change date to next year. This didn't work for me, nor a lot of other users on the forums. It took reading a lot of threads to find the log-out, log-in solution. Even on the official Apple Website all I saw was: Make sure your connection is working, battery is charged, desktop is plugged in when you try to sync. OK I exaggerate, but with all the users posting this problem, you'd think they'd post their solutions when they work with a Tech Help call.

My Amazon Prime Instant Video App does not show airplay symbol after IOS8 update

JUst found out that the Amazon Prime Instant video app lost the airplay possibility after IOS8 update on ipad and iphone.
Am I wrong or is there something I need to adjust on my devices?

Airplay is found by swiping up and enabling via control centre
Use AirPlay to wirelessly stream content from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
If AirPlay functionality has been removed or if there is error then it is up to the developer to fix

Thanks

The 30-pin connector on the iPhone 4 dock might not have all the connector pins to do video.
I'm 99% sure the Universal Dock does have the pins (and therefor supports video out).

I have an original iphone I'm trying to use as an ipod. Today when after I updated it, it is stuck with a picture of a plug, an arrow, and itunes logo. Please help.

I'm trying to use as an ipod. Today when after I updated it, it is stuck with a picture of a plug, an arrow, and itunes logo. Please help. I've tried resetting. Thanks

Did you try to restore it with itunes it should work then.Or try and reset it by going to settings/general/reset. If it doesn't work than go to apple some time and tell them about the error if they don't fix it than I am confused and have no clue what to do.

Ipod Touch Totally Dead After Failed Update to 4.0 OS

Hi folks,
There is another discussion with the exact same title but the problem was never resolved. I decided to create a new discussion because I successfully revived my buddies iPod that had the same problem. I know a lot of people probably still have paperweight out-of-warranty iPods lying around, so here goes!
My friend had a 3rd gen 8GB iPod Touch and uses iTunes on Windows XP. He plugged his iPod in one night and iTunes recommended he update to OS4. He was previously running the latest OS3 so he said "why not?!". Along went the update no problem until right before rebooting the iPod at the end. He reported that all of a sudden, the battery charging screen popped up with a fully charged green battery, then instantly changed to a red "dead battery" screen then it shut off entirely. That was it. Dead. Nothing he would do with the buttons gave any sign of life.
1 month later of researching, trying DFU mode and all sorts of attempts - still a dead, attractive paperweight with never a single pixel of light on the screen. He finally gave up and asked me to take a look at it.
I tried charging it overnight with a 110V to USB wall charger (as some people recommended) - no change.
I tried plugging it into a Mac (as some people also suggested) - no change, no signs of life.
Plugging it into a Windows XP machine gave an "Unknown USB device" or "USB device not recognized" error.
Well. I managed to get it into DFU (restore) mode and reinstalled OS4.2 with no problem (but it was not obvious) - now it is working again! A fully revived iPod Touch!
So, here is what I did:
1. Left "charging" overnight with a wall-charger NOT THE USB PORT OF A PC OR MAC.
2. Getting the iPod into DFU mode is tricky and a question of precise timing so it seems. The exact sequence that worked for me was: 1. HOLD the power button. 2. HOLD (at the same time) the Home button. 3. After 10 seconds, release the POWER button and continue to HOLD the Home button. Eventually, the PC or Mac should detect a new USB device and automatically install the driver for the DFU recovery mode. Once the iPod is detected in this mode, you can release the Home button. Note that you MUST have iTunes installed in order for the computer to install the driver for the iPod. If you do not have iTunes installed, Windows will still report the device as a "USB Device" and ask for the driver (contrary to the "Unknown USB device" or "USB device not recognized" errors). Once the device is happy in your OS, fire up iTunes and follow the instructions to restore your iPod. Enjoy! I recommend downloading/installing the LATEST ITUNES before recovering your device. Older versions of iTunes may contain the bug that killed your iPod the first time you tried updating.
Notes: 1. According to Apple, holding the 2 buttons down for 10 seconds and releasing both buttons at the same time simply performs a RESET of the iPod. It does not put it into DFU mode. You MUST continue holding the Home button after releasing the power button in order to get it to convert to DFU mode. I think this is where most people are having trouble. Also, it may have been a coincidence of the exact time I held the Home button after releasing the power button. Try holding it for different intervals after releasing the power button (i.e. 1 sec, 2 secs, 3 secs all the way to 10 secs or even more). BE PATIENT and don't give up! Unless your iPod has a real HARDWARE PROBLEM (which if it was working fine before you tried to update it probably does not), you can ALWAYS get it into DFU mode because that part is HARDCODED in a chip in the iPod and cannot be changed or damaged.
When I was playing with the iPod trying to get it in DFU mode, Windows would see it as a Unknown USB Device. Then sometimes it would disappear and come back as an Unknown USB device. This is a GOOD THING. That means that the iPod IS resetting as per Apple's instructions (which means the iPod DOES have some sort of life). After trying 4 or 5 times, I finally got it to disappear and reappear in DFU mode (as a simple "USB Device" because I did not have iTunes installed. After installing the latest iTunes, it installed the correct drivers automatically).
So give it a try and post your results! Good luck!

My friend had a 3rd gen 8GB iPod Touch
Just for clarification so other people don't get confused and this misinformation keeps getting generated, Apple did not sell a 3rd generation 8GB iPod Touch.
So, your friend must have a 2nd generation iPod Touch.
The 3rd generation was only made in the 32GB and the 64GB models.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1353#iPodtouchlate2009
The 2nd generation has A1288 stamped on the back
The 3rd generation has A1318 stamped on the back and again, only on the 32GB and 64GB models.
Some software is only designed for the 3rd generation and above so making sure what generation you have can be very important before you possibly buy something your iPod Touch can't use.

IPod touch completely dead after attempted update to 3.0

Cross-posted to "with Windows" forum...
...Not only during update to 3.0, but also during update to 2.2.1 and during a restore attempt 6 weeks ago. All 3 "dead" iPods have been replaced by Apple - I'd like a solution...
I have videoed the update taking place and the iPod dying during it - sadly it is in MOV format (439MB) and I cannot convert to an uploadable version for Youtube... By DEAD, I mean, no power and will not display ANYTHING on the screen. Simply won't power up again.
This is what happens: Download update using iTunes... Extracting software... Backing up iPod... Preparing the iPod for the software update... (iPod shows USB plug and CD - then apple logo...) then the updating progress line appears on iTunes and on touch. Updating iPod software... Verifying updated iPod software... Updating the iPod firmware... White progress line on iPod disappears after a few seconds and screen goes black. Error message displays on iTunes - "The iPod xxxx could not be updated. An unknown error occurred (6)"
iPod is now dead and needs to be replaced,
1) Has anyone experienced this?
2) Has anyone SOLVED it?
Maybe related is a problem with some videos that have happened recently (and were the cause of me trying to restore the iPod last time it died) MP4 (or MPV files) play for about 20-30 minutes, then screen goes white, then black, then apple logo appears, then iPod returns to home screen after about 30 seconds. My usual solution to this has been to remove all videos, photos (which are corrupted by this time), audio, and then re-sync back.
I'd appreciate ANY help please. I intend buying an iPhone soon and would like to know that the problem won't occur on that, every time I try to restore.
Cheers!
Martin

To begin the discussion, let's throw in a few possibilities:
1. Is your iPod in the process of being "jail-broken"? If so, I'd avoid the risk and stick with standard Apple firmware. Some hacks end up with dead iPods.
2. Do you use iTunes for syncing? Only use Apple software for managing your file system.
3. Are you Windows or Apple? For whatever it's worth, I've only seen this happen with Windows machines.
No solutions here - but maybe some hopeful suggestions.

Ipod doesn't work after firmware update

I have an old ipod and I tried to update the firmware. After the update It did'n work. ON the Ipod screen it appear like a plug indicating to charge it, but I charged it several times and the result is the same.
Now i'm trying to recover it again but my computer doesn't recognize it.
¿Is there anything I can do?
Thanks in advance.
Jse

The best place to look for help first is Genuine Apple help directly from Apple.
Read the iPod Touch Users Guide.
http://support.apple.com/manuals/#ipodtouch
Also start with the basics from Apple.
1. *Restart iPod touch:* Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button until the red slider appears. Slide your finger across the slider to turn off iPod touch. To turn iPod touch back on, press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
If you can’t turn off iPod touch or if the problem continues, you may need to reset iPod touch. A reset should be done only if turning iPod touch off and on doesn’t resolve the problem.
2. *Reset iPod touch:* Press and hold both the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home button for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
For more troubleshooting suggestions, see Appendix B, “Support and Other Information,” on page 214.

What happened to dictionary function after iOS8 update?

After recent update to iOS8 I no longer have the ability to highlight a word and retrieve a definition via the dictionary on my iPad.

Hi Marianne
I know the ACR update is just a few hours old, but I have not seen anyone else mention the problem you describe. It certainly hasn't made any difference to my system. Can we try and pin your problem down a bit?
Photoshop version?
Operating system?
Perhaps upload a screen grab of your entire workspace showing the Layers and History panels, and drag them out show all layers, and as much history as available.
Does this happen with all images? Have you restarted the computer as well as Photoshop? Are you absolutely sure that Preferences was reset? (It sounds like you deleted the preferences file rather than use the start up method)
Reset Preferences
Windows — Hold down Shift Ctrl Alt immediately after starting Photoshop
Mac — Hold down Shift Cmd Opt immediately after starting Photoshop

IPod in recovery mode after installing update!!!

I connected my 30 gig, 5th gen. iPod to my computer, and it recognized it. I clicked on 'check for update', of which there was one, ironically described as "bug fixes". After the update, my iPod restarted itself and is now in recovery mode. However, when I look under 'My Computer', it still recognizes my iPod by the name I gave it, and all of my photos are still intact and viewable in this mode. I have tried changing the drive letter and reinstalling iTunes, but both my iPod and iTunes are still giving me the recovery mode message.

Funny you should say that, and i'm so glad that i looked in here, as i first thought that it was something that i had done wrong, but now i am starting to wonder.
I have a similar problem with the 30gb ipod, i loaded everything ok onto my computer, even got to put some music on my ipod!
the next day i decided to re-arrange some tracks and remove some music that i no longer listen to. at this point I also recieved the update called "bug fixes" and since then the actual ipod says to connect to my computer and use itunes to restore, I have done this, and itunes goes through the process of restoring, says it has finished, and as soon as the ipod icon re-appears, it says that my ipod is in recovery mode and i need to restore.
I have done this now about 20 times, and i have tried various procedures that have been suggested on the web page, which includes removing and re-installing itunes, assign a new drive letter to the ipod, reinstalling the drivers.
I have tried everything that i can find with any relevance, but as i am not an IT technician, i dont want to keep trying things that i don't really understand.
Please help, as I want to listen to my music on this expensive music player, like i should be able to!
thanks in advance

Callers cannot hear me after Ios8 update

After I updated to iOs8, i immediately began getting a message that this charger or accessory is not compatible with this Iphone. However, nothing was plugged in! After a few hours the message stopped. But now callers cannot hear me, although I can hear them. Callers are able to hear me when I put the speakerphone on, which is not an acceptable solution to the problem, i do not want to use speaker phone for every call. I have try the following
- Power the device off then back on
- Hard reset the device using home/sleep buttons
- Checked the headset jack for debris
- Adjusted the volume several times while on a test call
- reset the network settings
- toggled noise cancellation option while on a test call
Probably more than what's listed, i've been non stop for more than 24 hours! I have googled for a solution, but I am not seeing others with the same issues as mine after updating to iOS8, some have had the same issue with previous updates of different iOS versions. And I have tried all of the solutions that they were given. I feel like I have tried everything.
I do not want to downgrade back to iOS7, I'm not sure I even can.
So, any other suggestions? Should i just take the Device to my local Apple store and let them sort it out? I have an Iphone 5s that is only a few months old (probably less than 6)
Thank you for any help!

If never jailboken/hacked, restore using iTunes, first also restoring a backup and if needed as new (without using a backup)

Problem with Java after Software Update to 10.5.7

Hi,
I am facing problem with Java after having run Software upgrades.
Here is the whole story. I recently moved to iMac 10.5.6 from PowerPc 10.4. On this new machine I was having problem running a 3rd party application, which requires JVM. As this application worked well on Tiger, I decided to upgrade JVM on my iMAC using Software Upgrade(was I insane!!). As I like my systems to be updated (as with linux on my personal machine) I clicked "install all". As a result I have the following upgrades run on my machine:
2009-05-20 13:12:01 +0200: Installed "Mac OS X Update Combined" (10.5.7)
