Major problems with iOS4 firmware update on my 3GS iPhone!  Anyone else?

First, it appears to have reset my home wireless router in the midst of the update to the default settings, thankyouverymuch. Then the new wallpaper don't allow you to set your home screen to none or blank or plain old black. And in the process of me trying to find one that wasn't too busy, I ended up deleting my old lock screen wallpaper (a photo that I loved) and when I reset it, the image resolution majorly $ucks. And what's with the instand messaging not popping up on the screen when you get one? How are you supposed to know it's there? and the email options default is set on "threading" which is very confusing (although I did figure out how to undo that one). What is UP with this release???? Worst EVER.

How is this the fault of the update? your router crashed. Deal with that separately, Was it an Apple router?
Then the new wallpaper don't allow you to set your home screen to none or blank
or plain old black.
This has never been an option in any version. You could create a solid background in any color, save as an image and use that.
I ended up deleting my old lock screen wallpaper (a photo that I loved)
Just reset your background to that image again. You can use any picture you want.
And what's with the instand messaging not popping up on the screen when you get one?
That is in Settings::Messages
the email options default is set on "threading" which is very confusing
All it does is stick a little number on the right of messages in the thread. Pretty easy to use IMO, but obviously you can just turn it off if you don't like extra level it creates.
In my opinion this has been the easiest and fastest update to apply of any, and I have been here since 1.0. Clearly obvious that a huge effort was placed it getting the GUI to work elegantly. +

  • Problems with EFI Firmware Update to 1.5 for mid 2010 Mac Pro, and sleep issues

    Hello to the community, I have run into an annoying issue.
    I need to update the EFI firmware on my 8 core mid-2010 Mac Pro. I downloaded the EFI update from the apple website from here : http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1321
    But everytime I download it, as I click to install, it gives me the message:
    Alert
    This software is not supported on your system.
    But clearly this is the correct EFI for my computer. I tried burning the Firmware restoration onto a CD from here:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1320
    But the computer did not respond the way it said it should (with the 3 flashes/beeps etc.) and have the optical drive open for the CD.
    So I'm completely stuck.
    *Also my Mac Pro had issues with sleep, when I put it to sleep, sometimes when I try to bring it back, it restarts itself, and other times, it just turns itself on and the monitor screen remains black, so I have to hit the power button to turn it off then back on again. This only happnens when the computer has been put to sleep for a slightly extended period of time, roughly 20mins +, sometimes longer.  I was trying to solve this problem by first updating the firmware because I think it could be related to that, but I've had this problem with the firmware so I couldn't find out. This is actually the bigger problem for me because it will affect my work. I am currently using an iMac while I fix up this mac pro.
    I'm a music composer so I've upgraded many aspects of my system due to work. I have a 1TB Samsung 840 evo SSD, 2 seagate 2 TB HDD, and 1 WD 1TB HD (the original one in the mac pro), along with 32 GB of RAM. So my only problems are the firmaware and the weird activity when the computer is put to sleep.
    Some help would be greatly appreciated!

  • I am having major problems with the latest update for my itunes!

    I am having problems with the latest update for itunes, it says 'itunes has an invalid signature'. I have completely uninstalled itunes but now it wont download at all. Have tried downloading it 4 times tonight already. Anyone know how to get it to download? Or what to do?

    I am having problems with the latest update for itunes, it says 'itunes has an invalid signature'.
    That suggests that the installer is getting damaged during the download.
    I'd first try downloading an installer from the Apple website using a different web browser:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    If you use Firefox instead of IE for the download (or vice versa), do you get a working installer?

  • Problem with the firmware update...

    Now I have a new problem... I had the Xserve on my intranet so long that when I went to update it and plugged it into the Internet, there seems to be a firmware update. I started the update, and its supposed to come up with a status bar, but so far nothing. It's been 4 hours, and the screen is not getting a signal. I'm afraid that if I turn the system off and the system is actually upgrading the firmware that will mess up the system royally. I'm going to leave it for the next 24 hours, but if it's still sitting there chugging away with the blank screen, I'm going to have to turn it off.
    Have any of you seen this problem? I may try and reset the firmware. I never had these problems until now... it's starting to get aggravating...

    Clearly I have to answer my own questions in the server forums...
    For anyone who may end up with a similar issue and finds this. Your firmware update probably didn't work correctly, download the Apple Firmware Restoration CD. Make sure you find the correct version for your computer, like my version was 1.4.

  • Problem with N5800 Firmware Update v 40.0.005

    I have a problem with adding contacts to the home screen contacts bar.
    I recently updated the firmware on my 5800 with the new browser and touch screen functions. When I view contacts normally using the contacts icons everything seems OK and all my contacts are there. However, when I add contacts to the contacts bar on the phone's home screen, the list of contacts the phone pulls up includes a number of entries called "unnamed" which I can not see when viewing contacts normally. In this selection list I am also missing some of my contacts that I can see if I view contacts in the normal way? So I am not able to add these to the contacts bar?
    Anyone have any idea what's going on or a fix?
    Thanks. 

    I am on v 51.0.006 and it gives Handwriting, Mini qwerty and Full qwerty options in Landscape mode...and Handwriting, Mini qwerty and Alphaneumeric in portrait mode...

  • Having problems with SMC Firmware Update 1.8

    I installed the MacBook Pro SMC Firmware Update 1.8 yesterday and have since experienced a number of problems. I am running a 15 inch, Mid 2012 MacBook Pro, btw. First, after the intial install the sytem would not reboot. I had to do a physical reset of the SMC controller to get the system to power on again (sft-cntl-option-power key sequence). Once the system rebooted, the fan in stuck on high and the battery meter in the controll bar does not show status, just displaying an "X" in the battery.  I went into the Software Update utility and the SMC update is still listed as available, I tried reinstalling it, and the situation has not changed. The fan noice is annoying and I'm aftraid to disconnect the laptop from the AC adapter. Please advise.

  • Problems with z27x firmware update

    I'm trying to update the firmware on the z27x.  I've followed the HP instructions on updating firmware for z27x and the monitor doesn't display instructions to update.  I have the firmware update on a flash drive plugged into the USB port with the dreamcolor logo beneath it.

  • Problem with SMC firmware update.

    I can't seem to run it. Everytime I go to, it never installs. I have a feeling that it has to do with bootcamp. Whenever I restart my computer, it runs Windows (I don't know how to fix that.) so I can't just press restart, I have to actively start OSX.
    I go to install it, my computer starts up, and then the installer pops up again. I press restart, start up the computer, same thing. I've done this 4 or 5 times and the same thing happens everytime. What should I do?

    Sheir,
    Go to System Preferences>Startup Disk and verify that OS X is the Startup OS that is selected for your Mac. If it is not the one selected, select it and restart your Mac a couple of times to verify that it will restart into OS X. If it won't then we need to figure out what is going wrong.
    If it successfully restarts into OS X then go to Applications>Utilities and look for the SMC Firmware Update.app that should have been placed there and trash it. Also trash the SMC Firmware Update.dmg if you have it. I don't think you will because Software Update has been doing the install. Empty the trash.
    Then go to Apple Downloads and manually download a fresh version of the iMac (early 2006) SMC Firmware Update released on 16 MAY 2006.
    Shut down all your other programs except the Finder and Dashboard. Unplug everything from your Mac except your USB keyboard and mouse. Turn off Airport and Bluetooth if they're on.
    Make sure you are completely familiar with the SMC Firmware installation instructions.
    Try to do the install again.

  • Does anyone else have problems with iTunes 10.3.1 BETA?, Does anyone else have problems with iTunes 10.3.1 BETA?

    Installed iTunes 10.3.1 on Mac and then all tunes vanished from my iPhone 4.  I hooked the phone to the Mac and Synced them together and everything returned to iPhone.  Next morning the problem was back.  I had to delete iTunes and reinstall an older version from my Time Machine backup.  It now appears to be working.  Has anyone else had problems with this?

    This forum is for questions from those managing sites on iTunes U, Apple's service for colleges and universities to post educational material in the iTunes Store. You'll be most likely to get help with this issue if you ask in the general iTunes for Mac forums.
    BTW, iTunes 10.3.1 is not a beta release. Only the iTunes in the Cloud service is beta.

  • Problem with E52 Firmware update 051.018

    I have a Chinese Traditional Nokia E52 and did the software update today to 051.018 (as it was marked important). I encountered the following issues:
    1) Pressing the "green/pick-up" button does not bring up the call logs anymore.
    2) I can't even access the call logs from the main menu. The icon is there, but nothing happens when I click on it.
    3) The phone is not remembering the last 6~8 symbols (such as , , ; : - ~) from the SMS menu when I'm typing an SMS.
    4) The phone no longer has "Full-Character" symbols (double byte)
    I tried everything, hard reset (*#7370#) and formatting the phone (power+3+*+Green) and I cannot get the above issues resolved. I wiped out my entire phone and all my apps to try to fix the problem, yet no luck.
    This is obviously a pretty serious bug and I hope that there will be an update soon. Otherwise I cannot use a phone without a 'phone log' function!
    Help!!!!

    I forgot to mention that "Advanced Call Manager' was wiped out from my E52 and it was bundled with my phone when I bought it. Now it's gone....

  • I am having problems with accessing Facebook because of Adobe. Is anyone else having this problem? What should I do?

    I am having problems opening Facebook, and You Tube. The sites will not open and a page comes up saying I need to update my Adobe Flash. The Adobe Flach is already updated. What should I do?

    The update alerts are fake, and are intended to mislead you into installing malware and/or to steal your identity.
    You might get the alerts when visiting a website that has been hacked. Don't visit the site again. If applicable, notify the site administrator of the problem, but don't send email to an unknown party.
    If you get the alerts when visiting well-known websites such as Google, YouTube, or Facebook, then they're the result of an attack on your router that has caused you to get false results from looking up the addresses of Internet servers. Requests sent to those sites are redirected to a server controlled by the attacker.
    The router's documentation should tell you how to reset it to the factory default state. Usually there's a pinhole switch somewhere in the back. It may be labeled "RESET." Insert the end of a straightened paper clip or a similar tool and press the button inside for perhaps 15 seconds, or as long as the instructions specify.
    Then go through the initial setup procedure. I can't be specific, because it's different for every model. The key points are these:
    1. Don't allow the router to be administered from the WAN (Internet) port, if it has that option. Most do.
    2. Set a strong password to protect the router's settings: at least ten random upper- and lower-case letters and digits.  Don't use the default password or any other that could be guessed. Any password that you can remember is weak.
    3. If the router is wireless, or if you have a wireless access point on the network, use "WPA 2 Personal" security and set a different strong password to protect the network. If the router or access point doesn't support WPA 2, it's obsolete and must be replaced.
    During the time the router was compromised, you were redirected to bogus websites. If you ever connected to a secure site and got a warning from your browser that the identity of the server could not be verified, and you dismissed that warning in order to log in, assume that your credentials for the site have been stolen and that the attacker has control of the account. This warning also applies to all websites on which you saw the fake update alerts.
    If you downloaded and installed what you thought was a software update, ask for instructions.

  • Problems with Gband after updating to iTUnes 7 and Quicktime

    Garageband has bee acting strange ever since the update and sometimes tracks freeze and it goes into a repeat which won't stop until I use the power button to shut down the computer. I am having multiple application problems since the forced update to iTunes 7. Anyone else having issues?

    many times in the past, a quicktime and/or iTunes update has caused some weird stuff. Did you repair permissions after the update? Sometimes that will clear it up. Other times, many folks have gone back to the previous versions until a fix was found.

  • 10.9.3 = major problem with fast user switching

    I've found a major problem with the 10.9.3 update with my 27" iMac, you probably won't see it if your on a laptop. I did all the updates in past few days i.e., 10.9.3 combo update, iTunes 11.2.1.
    Afterward I noticed a bug when Fast User Switching i.e. FUS. I have 5 accounts but the bug can be replicated with only 2.
    I login to userA  have some windows open but you can just open a Finder window. Now make the window at least half the with of the screen and move it to the right side of the screen. Then login in to userB and setup the windows the same way as userA. Now FUS to userA and then back to userB. You will notice that the Finder window has been moved to the upper left corner of the screen. This problem happened's to all user accounts you login to except the first account you logged into.
    Since I didn't know what update caused the problem I had to use Time Machine to revert to my last version of 10.9.2. I then double checked the for the bug and sure enough everything was working fine. I now was going to install one update at a time and to see which one was causing the bug. So I installed 10.9.3 first and found the bug immediately.
    I now know what's happening. When the switch occurs the screen is resized to about the equivalent of a 13" MBP. At this point the windows that fall some ware outside that size get moved to the upper left corner and resized. Then the screen resizes to normal but it's too late, all the window have moved and been resized to fit the 13" screen size.
    You can reproduce this effect by going to System Preferences and selecting Display and then select the Scaled radio button. No select the smallest size, say, 1280 x 720. Now select the Best for display radio button again. You will now see all the windows you have open that were too big no moved and resized to the upper left corner. I know why the Mac moves the windows, it's so you don't have any windows stuck off screen.
    Now when I say 13" it could be some other size but it's about that size give or take.

    Yes, it's when you user Fast User Switching.
    Here's snapshot before the screen resized. Ignore the window in the lower right, I moved it from the upper left before taking the screen shot.
    I hate to say it but I'm glad I'm not the only one with this bug.

  • HT1589 problems with itunes after updating..can't locate some of my songs..some have an exclamation point beside them how do i get these songs back in my itunes

    I'm having problems with itunes after updating. I've lost all my playlists,,finally played around with it and got the songs back but some have an exclamation point beside them and can't be located. they are songs i've purchased. I'm not very computer literate so this is a major problem. I have spent hours with this. I just want all my songs to play even though I'm not happy that I have to recreate my playlists. It would be so much easier if I knew and understood how to correct this. Has anyone else had this problem and if so..is there an easy way to correct it?

    Not sure how this is an ipod touch question.
    Perhaps you should post in the itunes forum.
