ITunes access problem after iOS5 upgrade

I just finished upgrading my iPhone 4 to IOS5.  Problem: my iTunes ID is embedded and I'm only prompted to enter my password.  My iTunes ID is not an email address and I can no longer access my account.  How can I change my ID in my phone?

Went down to the local Apple store and resolved my issues.  I was told that they had never had anyone come in with the nickname issue before.
The fix:
DJ had me go to the iforgot.apple.com page (a very familiar page by this point).  Under the box where you would enter your Apple ID, there is a link "Forgot Your Apple ID?".  He had me click on it.
On the next screen, he had me enter my first name, last name and the email address that I thought was associated with my iTunes account.  You can enter several different email addresses, just in case you had several different email addresses that could have been used when you established your Apple ID.  I then clicked on 'Next'
On the next screen, I opted for the 'Answer Security Questions'  Authentication Method.
Answering the required questions allowed me to then enter my email address as my Apple ID and the new password that I had chosen. 
After doing so, everything was as it should be!  I was able to update my apps that needed updating...AND... my $21.34 credit was back!  Thank you DJ at the Roseville, CA Apple store!

  • Cannot restore from back-up after iOS5 upgrade

    First try to restore after upgrade (original uppgrade process) iTunes said last available backup was time-stamped 11.34 but when chosen it was not accessible due to error 32 Backup missing.
    Trying to reset the unit to gain access to older backups iTunes claims my password for the backup is incorrect even though I know it's correct, thus I cannot resore after iOS5 upgrade.
    Looking in the folder (win XP machine) where the back-ups are stored it seems like there are no older backup available and my whole pic and vid library is gone! 2.5 yrs of images of my children!!!
    What to do?

    Sounds similar to my issue, I know my password is correct, even changed password in hopes that perhaps I was making a mistake, yet I wasn't. I backed up all my pix on an alternate computer, but my issue was that I used the voice memo recorder to record songs on the fly when I'm not at home, or just too lazy to hook up my studio gear. . . All that was backed up. . . yet, I'm told I'm entering the wrong password, I know it's not, but I guess I don't know how to type. . . I haven't searched for backup files in any location, other than looking to see if my pix were backing up as it quit syncing pix a couple months ago. No pix were backed up, so I plugged into a different computer, and that pc took em just fine.

  • Performance slowdown after iOS5 upgrade

    Did anyone assess performance slowdown on iPad after iOS5 upgrading?
    ...especially refering to the panel responsiveness within Safari!... any troubleshooting feasible? Thank you!

    My iPad 2 feels snappier overall - there are a couple apps that haven't been updated for iOS 5 that exhibit problems though. My wife's iPad 1 seems about the same or a bit faster depending on what she's doing - and of course has the same issues with some apps that need upgrading.
    So far the only downside I can see to upgrading is that I've taken a small hit on the battery due to the improved notifications mostly, I think. By small I mean at the very end of the day when I connect it to my alarm dock, it has just over 20% instead of the more usual 25-30% charge left

  • Apps won't work after iOS5 upgrade

    After iOS5 upgrade, I cant start any apps but Apples own on my iPhone 4. What should I do?

    Make sure you're signed into iTunes with your original Apple ID (the one that you used to purchase the apps)
    Then Sync (and make sure 'Sync Apps' is checked)
    Cheers!

    DataSource problems after BW upgrade

    Generic DataSource ZXXXXXXXX
    InfoPackage "ZXXXXXXXX(ZXXXXXXXX)" does not run. Error:
    DataSource ZXXXXXXXX(SOURCESYS) must be activated
    Message no. RSDS179
    Then followed these steps:

    Errors returned:

    Any ideas?

    Hi,
    Just to help the folks out here.
    In my case,
    Inspite of going through several valid NOTES & program, my issue didnt resolve (you reply was pretty accurate - but dint help me :-)).
    I have resolved the issue by adjusting the PSA table for the same.
    Procedure:
    Take the psa name  --> go to table rstsods --> find the ODSNAME_TECH name for the relevant psa  --> se38 t.code --> enter ODSNAME_TECH and click on 'adjust & activate database table' (make sure you have selected 'save data' radio button.
    Just in case anyone who come across this problem, can do the above steps.
    Regards,
    Dubbu.

  • I installed iOS 5.0.1 on my Iphone 3GS. I never can not write in my calendar. Anyone else having this problem after their upgrade?

    I installed iOS 5.0.1 on my Iphone 3GS. I never can not write in my calendar. Anyone else having this problem after their upgrade?

    I was going to suggest - Settings>General>Reset>Reset all settings, but if you are restoring to factory settings, that should restore the settings back to factory defaults. But if you are restoring from a backup, after restoring to factory settings, try resetting all of the settings and see if that fixes it.
    It might be something in your backup.

  • Ipad1 is extremely, painfully slow after ios5 upgrade. Is there a fix?

    Is there any fix for the awfully slow performance of iPad1 after ios5 upgrade? Mine is sometimes so slow it's impossible to use. Thanks

    Mine is slower, but it's still useable. There is a update for battery draining due in a few weeks, though I don't know whether it will contain other fixes as well : http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-15570462
    You could try closing all apps completely and then do a reset and see if that helps. To close all apps : from the home screen (i.e.not with any app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of each app to close them, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
    To reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
    I've also seen a couple of posts recommending turning off iCloud (which I haven't tried yet).

    Hi Zak, thanks for the reply.
    The filename is whatever is set to be the background fill of the site (I presume the desktop background fill, if mobile versions are set to be different). I've tried a number of different files, sizes and types/formats and the result is still the same, so as far as I can tell it's not the file itself causing the issue...
    It uploads all pages (desktop, tablet and phone versions), .css files and .html files, and even the favicon .ico file but then hangs on the first image file, which incidentally is the background fill image.
    The total number of files is said to be 154. It gets stuck on file number 24.
    Yes the "Resume" dialog appears and upon clicking it just attempts to continue from the hang at the first image file (apparently 66% of the way through).
    Re: the "BC site has changed" part - I thought as much but figured worth reporting.
    ... Incidentally, as I've written this reply, I left the "Resume" dialog open (ie neither clicking "resume" or "cancel" and just as I've finished typing it appears to have published the site successfully?!! (I must've left it for roughly 5 minutes)
    Bizarre behaviour... I'm not sure if this will repeat itself with other sites but I'm sure there's a bug here that needs looking at regardless...?!
    Any thoughts?

  • Ipad2 wakes up to a blank screen after iOS5 upgrade

    I have noticed two  peculiar issues after iOS5 upgrade. My ipad2 screen awakens to a blank black screen after password input; this only happens when an app or a program was open when it locks. I have to close and reopen the cover and reenter password to get to the usual screen. 
    Additionally I have noticed the icons for several of my iapps become invisible, the name of the icon is visible and the app/program opens up if I click on the name
    any suggestions?
    thx

    I had a similar thing on an old MacBook Pro where if I closed the lid, then reopened it before the sleep cycle took over, it would have a blank screen. I had to close the lid until the power light pulsed, then it would wake normally.
    Any similarities?

  • I have a mac, would like to upgrade to mountain lion from mac os x, anybody experienced any problems after this upgrade, thanks

    i have a mac, would like to upgrade to mountain lion from mac os x, anybody experienced any problems after this upgrade, thanks

    Check that your computer is compatible with Mountain Lion.
    To check the model number hold down the option/alt key, go to the Apple menu and select System Information.
    iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) model number 7,1 or higher
    MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) model number 5,1 or higher
    MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) model number 3,1 or higher
    MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) model number 2,1 or higher
    Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) model number 3,1 or higher
    Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) model number 3,1 or higher
    Xserve (Early 2009) model number 3,1 or higher
    Your Mac needs:
    OS X v10.6.8 or OS X Lion already installed
    2 GB or more of memory (More is better - 4 GB minimum seems to be the consensus)
    8 GB or more of available space
    If you can/do upgrade, I recommend you make a copy of the installer and move it out of your Applications folder. The installer self-destructs. The copy will keep you from having to download the installer again.  You can make a bootable DVD/USB stick to install using this free program.
    Bootable Drive DVD or USB Flash Drive – Lion Diskmaker
    Our 2 computers haven't experienced any significant problems, even though others have. I find it much better than 10.7 Lion, which I used for a week before reverting to 10.6.8
    Mavericks is supposed to be released this fall, so you may want to wait.

  • After ios5 upgrade cant get out to the internet via wireless, it wont  get past our Smart Filter (web filter)

    I just upgraded my 3GS to IOS5, and now at work when i am connected to our WiFi I can no longer get out to the internet.
    A little back story on how it worked prior to ios5:
    I would connect via wireless, and then load Safari and type in a webpage I wanted to go to.  A pop up box would come up, to authenticate me on our Web filter server (Running Smartfilter), I woudl enter my regular Active Directory username and Password and boom, i could then surf to my hearts content.
    After the upgrade, I connect to the wireless, load Safari, type in the webpage i want to go to, and the progress bar moves abotu 3mm and then stops, I never get the smart filter prompt.
    I have tried a full reset on the phone, forget network, reset all network settings, I even tried putting in the IP address of the smart filter box as a proxy and still it doesnt work.  I have gone to smartfilters website to see if anyone else has posted there, or if there was a clue as to why it doesnt work, but nothing so far.
    anyone else having this problem? any ideas?
    If it wasnt broken, why would apple mess with it!  a LOT of companies run smartfilter as well as other web filters.  I thought apple was trying to seduce corporate customers, and so far a lot of poeple are dissapointed that they cant get to the internet.
    tha
    nks in advance for any assistance.
    j

    I am having the same problem.  The issue also occurs with Safari on Mac OS 10.7.  I work for a school and I am sure that other schools are using smartfilter too.

  • HELP!!! iTunes not playing after lastest upgrade

    My iTunes is not playing after lastest upgrade, and i onli hear a lo buzzing sound wiht i hit the play button, and the diamond thingy is still moving. I tried reinstalling and re importing the music files, but i juz wouldn't work. help

    Nope i did not have any success with the other possibilities, other then the one concerning the hardware.
    hmmm. okay, if you switched sound enhancer off, that probably would have covered that possibility anyway.
    we'd better check your video drivers as well as your sound card drivers. (old video drivers can cause problems with Quicktime that can show up as itunes audio problems, since QT provides audio playback for itunes.)

  • ITunes Not Working After Windows Upgrade from Vista to 7

    I recently upgraded a laptop from Vista to 7.  iTunes 7.x was installed before the upgrade.  As soon as Windows 7 was insatlled I upgraded to the lates version of iTunes(10.x).  After the upgrade I had some issue where I was getting an error about artwork and iTunes would not open.  I renamed the artwork folder to old and then I was able to get into iTunes.  The next problem that I am running in to is that any time I click on a task such as find music iTunes stops responding and crashes.  I've tried new config files, completely uninstalling and reinstalling, clean booting, etc. with no luck.  Anyone have any suggestions?

    I've been working on this issue for 2 days with no luck.  Still looking for a solution if anyone has one.  Thanks!

  • 8330 - Problem after OS upgrade

    Hi All - 
    I recently upgraded the OS on the unit to V 4.5.0.175. A back up was created prior to the upgrade.   After the upgrade, the note pad, task list and brickbreaker were deleted.  They are not on the desktop or 'hidden' on the unit.  In addition, the unit now makes a chirping sound when on a phone call.   The Verizon has unable to help solve the problems.  I have tried to download the updgrade to the desktop software from the verizon link in the hopes the missing apps would be included but have been unsuccessful.  The download freezes at various points whether I am running it or trying to save it and is the only site/download I am having trouble with.
    Any insights or suggestions to resolve these problems would be greatly appreciated.  I would be happy to reverse the upgrade of the OS if that would solve the problems but do not know what the original version, where to get it or the best way to do it.
