Is IOS 8 Safe

I know that when IOS 8 first came out there were some issues. Have they been cleared up and is it safe to install now ?
I'm getting tired of looking at that big red #1 on the settings app.
Thanks, richie

Installed iOS 8.0.2 on iPhone 5
Worked for a while.
Last few days unable to get my VZ email on it.
Also did iOS 8.0.2 on my iPad 2...been working perfectly ever since update.
Both updates done on the same day.
DOES ANYONE HAVE iPhone 5 and iOS 8.0.2 and are receiving their VZ email ?
My Location Bergen County NJ

Is it safe to update to iOS 5.1.1?

Hi,
I have an iPad 2 (64GB WiFi) running 4.3.3 and an iPhone 4 (16GB) running 4.3.5 and would like to know if it is safe to update to iOS 5.1.1?
I've been doing some "Googling" and reading through this forum and what I found is not filling me with confidence... I know the much used "this is like a hospital and only sick people come here" answer, but boy there are lots of "sick people" around with iOS5 problems....
From my research I have found the following major problems:
Battery drain (will this ever go away???)
Problematic WiFi connections after update (worked fine before)
Safari crashes on sites with lots of pictures and video
Apps crashing more than they are actually working (all worked fine before update)
Unresponsiveness of device (as if it is not quite capable of running iOS5)
SIM card read errors (iPhone)
Bluetooth no longer connecting to factory fitted bluetooth car systems (iPhone)
My only previous update is experience is with a 3rd generation iPod Touch which after the update to iOS4 (which broke the video app) and then iOS5 (which at least fixed the video app) is only good for playing music. It so laggy that doing anything else with it is basically impossible.
The iPad 2 & iPhone 4 were designed for iOS4 and not iOS5. Are the iPad 2 & iPhone 4 processors up to the task of fully running iOS5 and specifically 5.1.1 without any glitches and lagging? I'd rather stay on the current version than having my user experience tanked by devices that it not quite capable of running the new version of iOS problem free. I am not one of those people that MUST have the latest version of iOS not matter what. My devices working reliably is much more imporatant that a flashy new iOS. I know Apple says that they are compatible, but they also said that iOS4 & iOS5 will run on a 3rd generation iPod Touch and it just does not....
Any comments and suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
Regards
Jamie

Talking about iOS 4 to iOS 5 in general, I don't see why not to update. iMessage, iCloud and all the new features. There is nothing wrong with 5.1.1 and no serious bugs. Most people's issues here are not related to the OS they are running. Then there are the habitual whiners who create accounts just to tell us that battery life is awful, but they do that after every update. After a week, they all disappear. So update. I can almost guarantee you won't have any issues, and you get all iOS 5 features. You won't regret it. <<=== Base on this justification, let me tell you what i have encountered with you guarantee.
After 2 week of upgrade from iOS 5.1.1, this is what I have encountered.
1) Replace my old SIM Card, as it was totally corrupted by iOS 5.1.1
2) 2 weeks after new SIM Card replacement, [No SIM Card Installed] error emerged. Eventually, you are required to reboot your devices everytime just to ensure your iPhone is back to normal.
If the above, is not an issue; please proceed with his guarantee and upgrade.
If one person complaint No SIM Card Installed issue, you can Blame on bad LUCK. Yet there are alot of people started to post about it; tell me it is their BAD LUCK as well?? There is some definate condition where cause this error.
GOOD LUCK on upgrading to iOS 5.1.1, You NEED it.
As of now, i am just praying when iOS 6 came out; i have not choice to consider upgrade.

it has worked fine no problems till i updated it i tried restoring itwith my old backup but it doesnt move the ios back so it just keeps on craching when i try to unlock it

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

Downgrading the iOS is not supported by Apple

Late 09 MB Pro 13" now on Mountain Lion keeps crashing (spinning wheel) and getting VERY hot. Even Safe Mode slow to work. Managed a back up last night and wondering should I put the original ios disc back in to take it back to SL. Advice appreciated!

Hi
For past year or so my mac book has been getting gradually worse. Spinning wheel, and overheating, last night I had trouble just getting it to start in Safe Mode (been using the on/off button a lot lately!)
Problem may be related to media - iMovie followed by iPhoto are the most likely programs to bring everything to a stop but not always.
I'm not an expert although I did figure out how to re install the operating system from the partition with help from this forum a couple of months ago but it didn't fix the problem.
The iOS is Mountain Lion (via Lion)
I managed to do a back- up last night and now wondering if I should re- install Snow Leopard from the original discs that came with the laptop.
Got a lot of media on there (replaced the 250gb drive with a Samsung 1tb a while back which is less than half full.
Never had to use any of my back-ups before so:
If I re install the original operating system will I be able to be selective in what I put back on later?
and -
Will there be any issues putting a Mountain Lion back-up into a Snow Leopard iOS?
A lot of whats there isn't needed but don't want to lose it completely.
Advice appreciated thanks

Back up all data immediately as your boot drive may be failing.
If you have more than one user account, these instructions must be carried out as an administrator.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
syslog -k Sender kernel -k Message CReq 'GPU|I/O' | tail | open -ef
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C).
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window (command-V).
The command may take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear.
A TextEdit window will open with the output of the command. Normally the window will be empty. If you get output like this:
kernel[0] <Debug>: disk0s2: I/O error
the boot drive is failing, or there's some other hardware fault in the storage subsystem.
If you get output like this:
kernel[0] <Debug>: ** GPU Debug Info Start **
kernel[0] <Debug>: ** GPU Debug Info End **
there's a fault in the graphics processor or logic board. The two kinds of output are not mutually exclusive, but if you get both, a logic-board fault is likely.

Is it safe to update my iPhone to IOS 5? I have backed it up, synced it, and transferred my purchases but I still get the error message...

So, yes. Backed up, synced, and I have all my purchases transferred... The thing is, I just got a MacBook Pro for my birthday, and I get the error message saying "Updating to iOS 5.1.1 will delete all of the apps and media, including iTunes Store purchases, on your iPhone. To preserve your content, apply this update on the computer where you sync apps, music, videos, and photos.. "
The computer I had been previously using simply would not recognise that iOS5 was available (it was a Windows PC; this is my first apple computer.)
So... Is it safe to update it?
What would I have to do to qualify this laptop as the "computer where I normally sync"?

If everything is on your computer, as it should be, then you are safe.
Not sure what you want.
Your iphone simply mirros the selected content of your computer. If all of your content is on your computer, then it will be on your iphone.

HT5278 If ios 5.1.1 on iPad 1 is no longer supported, is the device safe to use for credit card payments?

Hi All, anyone, or just helpful users,
If ios 5.1.1 on iPad 1 is no longer supported, is the device safe to use for credit card payments?
I know the reasons why Apple no longer update IOS for Ipad 1.
Due to end of life support, no bug fixes for older apps and constant vulnerabilities being exploited, does this now make the device insecure and vulnerable? either information stored on the device or (especially) when making credit card payments through Safari, etc.
Thanks in advance,

I would say your biggest issue isn't as much your operating system as it is the network you use your device on. For example the most secure device in the world can be used at McDonalds open wifi and have its info intercepted....and it's not your device's fault rather the connection. Any security program is only as good as its weakest component.
THe iOS operating systems are still very secure because they are highly resistent to viruses and malware....but a user can still click on that 'you won a million dollars' link in an e-mail and hand their personal info over to a hacker.
If you feel you can no longer trust it, then stop using it. But I would say a user's internet connection and behavior are larger security vulnerabilities than any device.

Is it safe to update my iphone 4s to ios 7.1.1

is it safe to update my iphone 4s to ios 7.1.1

Well mine is a brick now because of it. Since the exact day of updating my 4S has been a mess.
https://discussions.apple.com/message/26093562#26093562
I watched it charge up in 20% increments at first. Switching plugged and unplugged status while plugged in.
Took it in to Verizon and they told me the phone looked fine and the battery tested fine. Noted they were seeing a lot of people coming in with similar issues. Associates claimed it was something in the software.
A few weeks later my phone has managed to drop its charge while plugged in and is now a paperweight.
I don't advise it. If you look close enough there are several people reporting the same or similar issues since updating. Simple Yes and No responses are just presumptuous.

Is it safe to Back up and install IOS on a random computer

Only if it's got all of your content on it - a backup doesn't contain any of the content of the Music and Videos app, nor any photos that were originally synced from a computer. It also won't contain any of your downloaded apps, just their content and settings

Is it safe to update ios 7.0.4 to ios 7.1.1?

I'm using Iphone 5s with ios7.0.4. Is it safe to update my ios to 7.1.1. because I've a read a lot of forums including here in apple communities that some iphone was bricked after they downloaded and installed the update, some cases find their WIFI malfunctioning and other users experiencing their iphone batterly life drained faster. Any comment, suggestion, tips, or violent reactions?

I've never had any of those problems. I have two iPads - a 2 and Air - two iPod Touches - 4 and 5 - and two iPhone 5Cs. I take care of them, I don't install crappy apps, I keep plenty of memory free. If you have battery life problems see

Is IOS 8.x safe now?

Due to its initial problems, I have not yet upgraded to IOS 8.1. Is it safe to do so now?

Only a few users have problems with iOS updates and 8.1 seems not different that other updates.

Is the iOS 8 update safe for iPhone 4s?

After several weeks now, is the iOS 8 update for the iPhone 4s?

Yes, it's safe. While a very small percentage of people have reported problems, those issues are usually tied to a hardware problem or a setting on the device, not an actual problem with the iOS.

Is it safe to install the latest IOS 8.0.2? I did not install it yet, waiting for any update if the issues will be fix. I am using an ipad air

I would like to know if it is safe to install the latest IOS because I do not want to be face with any issues.

Neither I nor the iOS users I help to support have experienced any problems with iOS 8.0.2.
If iOS 8 offers nothing that you need then you can remain at iOS 7 instead.
