Is There ANY Good News About The Update To iOS5 ?

So I haven't updated my iPhone 4 to iOS5 yet. Before I do, I went to read about how it is working for others, and JESUS !!! What a nightmare it looks like.
So now I am completely nervous to do it and may want to wait. So I ask if I should and if indeed these nightmares are valid and universal to everyone ? Or is anyone out there actually experiencing no problems with the update ? So therefore is it "hit and miss" with these issues I am reading about ?
Please help with some advice, as I would love to be "up to date", but hate quirky bugs and glitches, etc...
Currently on a 16GB iPhone 4 (not a S) with iOS 4.3.5
Thanks in advance for your advice -

Most have no issues.
I have never had an issue nor has anyone I personally know.
Every single update, without exception, is met with some complaints.  Just as a hospital is full of sick people, this support forum is full of people who need support.
The majority of users have no isse and therefore do not post on the internet or in support forums.

  • Any latest news about the Microphone Boost problem?

    Hi,
    I'm using the SB X-FI Titanium and I have the well-known problem that my mic is too low, but can't fix it cause the creative console doesn't have MicBoost. ? It's definitely not a mic-problem cause I tried two different mics.
    Are there any latest news about that, may be official/not official drivers? Or ist there another way to activate MicBoost for my X-FI?
    Greeting
    foxx

    Some serious sources say that a new set of nForce drivers are in its way to release.
    Some modules has been rewritten, so thats why their late release.
    Just some last minute bugfixing, and they will hit our nForce systems!!!

  • Any GOOD things about the WRT300N?????

    I understand that these forums are good sources of information for solving problems.  However, ALL I can find are problems with the WRT300N. 
    I just bought one and I plan on installing tomorrow to support a new wireless 11g printer I bought and to give me more headroom for gaming.
    All the posts cite connections dropping, poor performance, and lack of range.  Is anyone "pleased" with this router???
    Should I just put it back without even trying to install and get my money back????
    Thanks.

    Jag,
    I've only owned the 300N for a few days, but it's been stable and an easy connection with a Windows Vista machine. I struggled with an older NetFear router with a new Vista machine and gave up after 4 days of stress and frustration and bought the 300N with the USB300 series adapter on a whim while shopping.
    I've been getting 4-5 bars and according to Vista's connection information, averaging 210-250 mbps. The wireless PC is located upstairs on the second floor and the wireless router is on the first floor in my audio room. Just take note, there are not any "G" devices on the network.
    I had 2 issues with the router which I will explain.
    I contacted Linksys's level 1 tech support to deal with these 2 issues The security light light on the router was not lit and I asked why considering I had all security features enabled. MAC filtering, blocking SSID and encryption. The tech told me that if you use the Easy Link software the security light will not light. To activate the security light, you need to use the Linksys Wireless Network Monitor software to activate the security light. Unfortunately, Vista does not support this software, so if using Vista, according to the tech, it will never light until they have a fix, if they create one at all.
    The other issue I had was not broadcasting the SSID. When I disengaged the broadcast function, I could not connect to the network. I tried various methods and I initially looked for the Wireless network monitor software, but it was/is not available with the Vista firmware. To connect to the router with the broadcast of the SSID off, she had me delete the current profile, create another manually adding the network SSID, encryption type, etc., and now I can connect to the network with not broadcasting the SSID.
    Perhaps my situation is an anomaly, but I have not dropped a connection yet, speed has been 5 X my NetFear "G" connection speed and I receive 4-5 bars for signal strength. I did notice that when I changed the Network Mode to "N" band only and changed a few other settings following the manual, the signal dropped to 3 bars. I just switched back to the "Mixed" mode and default settings and the signal went back to normal.
    I'm not a complete neophyte with wireless, but generally once it's secure (if there i such a thing) and connected, I never touch it again except to change the network name, router password, etc every few months. That is my experience.
    Much luck, Charles

  • Is there any way to clear the Update badge from Settings?

    I don't want to update to IOS 5.1. I prefer to keep running 5.0.1 which is runing fine and fast for me. Seems like when I update too much, my i devices end up slowing down to a point where they frustrate me. Best to leave them the way they were when I got them. I'll get 5.1 when I get a new iPad and/or a new iPhone.
    But I'm not fond of staring at this red badge on settings for the next several months. Seems like there should be a way to clear it without having to obey it.

  • HT4972 I replaced the computer I originally used to synch my iPhone. I get the message stating that my content will be erased, even though this is the computer I now synch with. Is there a way to make the update recognize the new computer?

    I replaced the computer I originally used to synch my iPhone. When trying to update to iOS5.0, I get the message stating that my content will be erased, even though this is the computer I now synch my phone with. Is there a way to make the update recognize the new computer so that my content will be kept?

    The best option is to copy your entire iTunes folder from your old computer to your new one using one of the methods described here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527.  This will allow iTunes on your new computer to recognize and sync with your phone without deleting content.  You will also need to copy over any other synced data not in your iTunes library such as photos synced to your phone, calendars and contacts.
    If you can't do this, these articles will help you start syncing with your new computer with minimal or no data loss:

  • Iphone 3GS was dropped and will not turn on or respond to USB connection.  Is there any way to extract the data off when it is not responding so that I can restore to my new phone?

    The phone is physically intact, but you can see the LCD is cracked behond the glass. I have tried plugging it in, tried putting it on the charger, and resetting it using the off and home buttons, bit response. I don't need the phone to work, but I do need to be bale to back it up in order to restore to the new phone.  Is there any way to extract the data or back up the hard drive without repairing the phone?  Just curious what my options are before I spend cash trying to fix the phone and find out there was another way to get the data.  Any thoughts here or should a good repair shop being able to create a backup somehow?

    Im not going to be much help because I don't know of anything else to besides take it somewhere that fixes electronics and see if they can get it off some how maybe if you take it to an apple store they can do something to get your information.

  • Is there any way to restore the 'Open New Tab' option in the tab bar drop-down menu?

    After years of using tabbed browsing in Firefox, I've long-since gotten used to right-clicking the tab bar, and selecting the top menu item 'Open New Tab'. So much so that it has become reflexive. Now with v4, when I perform the same action, it now just reloads the current page. Is there ANY way to restore the option to the pull-down menu? I don't wanna have to move my pointer all the way to the other side of the screen just to open a new tab... (T_T)

    Hello, I suffered from a similar problem with the new search bar type. I've found that you can go into '''about:config''', then search for '''browser.search.showOneOffButtons''' boolean and toggle that. This should restore the old functionality. (You might need to restart your browser)
    Note that, like always, edit your '''about:config''' at your own risk.

    Upgrading to Snow Leopard, Lion, or Mountain Lion
    You can upgrade to Mountain Lion from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Mountain Lion can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for $19.99. To access the App Store you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.6 or later installed.
    You can purchase Snow Leopard by contacting Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers. The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will receive physical media - DVD - by mail.
    Third-party sources for Snow Leopard are:
    Snow Leopard from Amazon.com
    Snow Leopard from eBay
    After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store.
    You can purchase Lion by contacting Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax.  It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
    Be sure your computer meets the minimum requirements:
    Apple - OS X Mountain Lion - Read the technical specifications.
    Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mountain Lion
      1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer)

  • When I add a new bookmark, and the (star) Page Bookmarked window appears - is there any way to expand the size of that window so that I can see my entire list of folders when adding a new bookmark to an existing folder?

    When I add a new bookmark, and the (star) Page Bookmarked window appears - is there any way to expand the size of that window so that I can see my entire list of folders when adding a new bookmark to an existing folder? The endless scrolling technique is far too tedious when trying to add a new bookmark, because the window is simply too tiny. Is there maybe a plug-in that will let me grab the corner of that window and re-size it? Thanks!

    I suggest you install the "Add Bookmark to Here2" extension, then you can expand the the list but you will not see the bookmark itself in the list if that is what you wanted. At the top you have three major folders you can select one of them and scroll up and down. Below that you have your most recently used folders and you can select one of them instead and scroll up and down. You can see the folder the bookmark is in -- they get added to the bottom
    If you really want to see the bookmark within the folder the same extension allows you to bring the bookmark to the folder from say the bookmarks sidebar that is why it is named as such. I use it but mainly i use the dialog.
    Please continue reading about bookmarks and some related extensions at
    * http://kb.mozillazine.org/Sorting_and_rearranging_bookmarks_-_Firefox

    * http://dmcritchie.mvps.org/firefox/firefox.htm#addbookmarkhere2
    * http://dmcritchie.mvps.org/firefox/kws.htm
    If you are not using tags at all, you can remove a whole lot of confusion by removing them from the dialog via the extension.

  • I have 2 apps that have been waiting to update for a week.  I don't really care about the update, I would just like to use them, but the are stuck waiting.  I have tried powering down, syncing with my computer...all fails.  Any ideas?

    I have 2 apps that have been waiting to update for a week.  I don't really care about the update, I would just like to use them, but the are stuck waiting.  I have tried powering down, syncing with my computer...all fails.  Any ideas?

    At this point you have no choice but to update the or delete them and reinstall them since you wont be able to use them until they update - or come out of the "waiting" loop.
    Make sure that you do not have a stalled download in iTunes - a song or podcast .... if you have a download in there that did not finish, complete that one first. Only one thing can download at a time on the iPad so that could be what is causing the problem.
    If that doesn't work - sign out of your account, restart the iPad and then sign in again.
    Settings>Store>Apple ID. Tap your ID and sign out. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    Go back to Settings>Store>Sign in and then try to update again. Tap one waiting icon only if necessary to start the download stream.
    You can also try deleting the waiting icons - tap and hold down on an icon until it wiggles - the tap the X on the icon to delete it. Then try to download again.
    You can try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your app preferences and device settings again.

    Hi,
    i'm a new member of this community. I've recently learn about flashback malware and other threats to Mac devices. I've installed the new Mac OS X update for Lion 10.7, and the flashback removal tool. What about the update for Flash Player? Should i install it? Otherwise, should i permanently remove this app?
    I realy need some advice.
    Thank's to all.

    Be sure to install the latest version of Safari (version 5.1.7) which is available via Software Update (in the Apple menu) if you have not already installed it. This update will automatically disable older versions of Flash when new versions are available, and will instruct you on how to install the latest version on your system. This should help keep your system safe from any vulnerabilities in Flash.
    Note that this is only useful if you use Safari, though other browsers have their own update mechanisms you should research and enable or configure to your liking.

    When my wife's Mac Book Pro was being updated to the latest version of OS X the laptop locked up at a grey screen with the Apple icon and status bar.  Is there any way to recover the data and complete the install?  I have not tried anything yet because of the data issue.  I am not sure which OS X version as I did not install the software.
