Is the new OS update worth the effort ? ...

Having a hard time updating my iPad to the OS 4. whatever version. What exactly are the benefits of the new version over the installed version that's already on the iPad? I like it and can use it for everything the way it is, but lots of people seem to be having issues downloading and after installing the update. Is it really worth it if everything works now ???
Thanks everybody ... Happy Holidays ...

If everything is working, and you don't want/need any of the new features (multi-tasking, folders, Airprint/Airplay) then you don't have to upgrade. But you may find that over the coming weeks/months any apps that you have may get updates that require the new iOS - in which case if you stick with the version that you've got you won't be able to update them.
There are a number of people who have had, or are still having, problems with 4.2 - I havn't had a single problem, but there is no guarantee that you won't be one of the (probably) fairly small minority who have had. And most people who post on forums like these are those with problems; those who are ok tend not to sign up and post.
If you having problems downloading the update, then a number of people have had success after temporarily turning off their firewall and anti-virus.

Yes, but both you and the person you are texting must be on iOS 5.

I just got the new iOS5 update for the iPhone 3GS and I cannot receive messages because it says that the SMS is full. I deleted all my texts, but still cannot receive texts. Is there something I can do???, I cannot receive texts with the new iOS5 update

Hi everyone, I just got the new iOS5 update for my iPhone 3GS. I receive a message saying that "Your SMS mailbox is full. New messages cannot be recieved until you delete some messages." I deleted all of my messages but still could not receive texts after restoring and restarting my phone. Can anything be done to remedy this??? Thanks!

Apple is screwing the pooch on this one. Need to call in and be vocal.

HT4623 With the new software update on the iphone, how do I delete a photo and also how do I close open apps so I dont wear battery down

With the new update for iphone, how do I delete a photo and how do I close open apps. There used to be a delete button to delete a photo and I used to double click on the main phone button and then click on the x to close an app.

Wipe the drive using DiskUtility and download and reinstall Yosemite and set it up as a new Mac. Then purchase the Apps you require with your own Apple ID which you will enter when setting up the new Mac.

The new iTunes update mutes the volume when movies are played in full screen. Help?

Yep. After installing 11.1.3, the audio of a movie in iTunes when you switch to full screen plays for a fraction of a second and then goes off. I can play other things in the background (Pandora, ANYTHING with volume) and the volume for those is fine. Full screen iTunes, however, is muted. Furthermore, when I switch from full screen to regular, the audio picks up where it was BEFORE full screen mode and is out of sync until I quit out of the movie and reopen it.
Is this a new 'feature' setting or has the update given us some fun errors and bugs free of charge?

Thanks for your reply AppleMan1958. Unforunately the playback problem was only experienced in the project described, - all other projects played fine....and I tried a lot of different ways to do it...so I really believe the whole project, including the playback (which did not work in the editing window in the right hand corner either, -nothing was shown there and the red marker line would not move across the project) just suddenly become totally corrupt...However, after deleting the project as described above and installing imovie11 I have done the whole thing over again and completed the project without problems this time.
But thanks for the tip anyway!

There are problems w/ my iPhone first generation w/ the new July updates.

There are problems w/ my iPhone first generation w/ the new July updates. The phone runs slow now. Could not play certain songs on iPod. phone reset back to the home screen when I go to certain sites on the Internet. Use to be able to go on the Internet on the 7 train and the phone freezes sometimes.
The thing that ***** is that if u don't have wi-fi u can't use the iTunes icon and utube is not clear. Utube ***** anyway. The thing that would make the phone offical is if the iPhone had cable tv.

I hope someone can answer this one. My 1st gen was doing the exact same s*. and now it's completley dead. Even when you do a hard boot with both top and home buttons it gives you the apple of death. I've let it sit until the battery goes out.
I'm a network analyst/engineer and I'm stumped. I've tried everything. I finally gave in and set up and appointment with a "genius." I have a feeling they're gonna have to replace it or something. It wont even register on a mac or win laptop to do a reset. I'm screwed.
I expect to hear more about this issue. I almost thing the firmware might not be compatible with some of the hardware???
might have to give in and buy a new one.....

Help! I just did the new OS update and all my photos & albums from iphoto are GONE!

I just did the new OS updated last night. When I opened Photos this morning, there was nothing. NOTHING! Not, photos in weird order or unlabeled. There were no photos period. Where did they go? What can I do? This is my work! I cannot have a decades worth of photos completely lost. Can I do something with timemachine to get them back. HELP!!!

This looks like Photos opened a new, empty library, because it could not access your iPhoto Library or Aperture Library.
Where are you storing your iPhoto Library? In the default location in the Pictures folder or on an external drive?
For Photos to be able to open your iPhoto Library, the library needs to be on a drive formatted MacOS Extended, and directly connected. It will not be able to open the library on a NAS or any network volume.

I updated my computer to the new software and now the iPhoto has a circle with a line through it. When I try to update, it pops up to say "These apps cannot be accepted by your apple id". Then will say "update unavailable with this apple id" how do i fix

I updated my computer to the new software and now the iPhoto has a circle with a line through it. When I first try to open it the pop us says: "You can't use this version of the application "iPhoto" with this version of OS X. Version: 9.2.1" When I try to update, it pops up to say "These apps cannot be accepted by your apple id - These apps were already assigned to another Apple ID and they will be available in that Apple ID's purchases list. If you don't have access to that Apple ID and want to receive future updates, you will need to purchase the application". I checked and there is nothing under the "purchases" in my App store. Then will say "update unavailable with this apple id - This update is not available for this Apple ID either because it was bought by a different user or the item was refunded or canceled." Then the third pop up says "We could not complete your request. There was an error in the App Store. Please try again". Just want to know how do to fix.

After I upgraded to Mavericks I was also having this message when I tried to update. There was a previous post about this problem which offered this simple solution which worked for me:

Got it! Thanx. What I did was go to my account, check that they had my new ID and Password which they did, then hit reset button. All fixed.

How do you access the new training section for the Creative Cloud Update?

I have done all of the Adobe updates, but I don't see the new Training catergory at the top of the screen when I log into the Creative Cloud Connection next to the Apps and Files category.

The training will be available very soon. Both Training and Folder Sharing/Collaboration had "coming soon" shown briefly during the video.
And yes I am just as frustrated as you with something that is pre-announced that you cannot then immediately go and try.

After updating my IOS TO 8.1 (12B411) on 10/23/14, I went to update my blood sugar level in the IHealth app. And now after the new IOS update I'm unable to find the blood glucose option in the IHealth app. Did Apple remove it or just mess up AGAIN?

Apple removed blood glucose until further notice. The reason behind this is that it gave a distorted picture in countries where the medical world used other measuring units. I suspect it will be available again in a future update.

With the new i0s7 update I can't delete the mail in my inbox all at once. I see there is the edit which allows you to mark all and to the right of that is MOVE and TRASH, why when you mark all you can't access these two options?

In the new ios7 update, why can't you mark all your messages in the inbox all at once? The EDIT tab lets you Mark All and off to the right is greyed out "move" and "trash", why can't you Select all and then press TRASH. It only lets you mark them as Flag, or mark as read. This *****!

Hi Scottay777,
Per pg 52 of the iOS7 User Manual, what you describe should be possible:
Delete, move, or mark multiple messages. While viewing a list of messages, tap Edit. Select some messages or tap Mark All, then choose an action. If you make a mistake, shake iPhone immediately to undo.

Resolved!
After contacting Apple, I received a reply from their engineers:
Copy QTMovieWin.dll from: C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support
to: C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes
And that did the trick.
