Calendar is not synching after ios5 update

I use the iphone configuration utility to transfer settings to blank/new iphones (i'm an administrator) and this is how I apply our calendar settings including server paths etc to synchronise the calendar over the internet. Since updating to ios5 this has not worked and, in most cases, the calendar has just gone. Reinstalling the settings has not helped and it still refuses tow ork, if it makes a difference we are currently using SOGo as the calendar server program.

Ipod touch 4g- no music, and apps not working after iOS5 update

Hi, I just updated to IOS 5 on my Ipod touch 4G, and ever since then the music library (in the Ipod) is cleared out, and none of the apps work. It's like it didn't finish updating and transferring back the data to the Ipod. When I go to plug in the Ipod to my macbook, and bring up Itunes, the Itunes program freezes every single time, not allowing me to fix the problem. My Ipod will show up in the side bar of Itunes, with the circular arrows going for a little bit, then the arrows stop in the middle of the process... I go to click on anything in Itunes and immediately get the spinny flywheel on my screen, meaning itunes freezes, and I have to force quit the program everytime. I've tried rebooting my computer a few times, as well as restarting my Ipod, but nothing is working. The internet works on my Ipod, but anything music/app related is 'empty.' I couldn't find anyone else on the net w the same problem, so I might have something unique~

I would try restoring the iPod from backup. If necessary, place the iPod in recovery mode and then restore. For recovery mode:
iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore

IPhone 3GS will not activate after IOS5 update it says there is no SIM

I tried updating my iPhone 3GS to IOS5 and it is saying the activation server is temporarily unavailable and then iTunes says there is no SIM but there is.

Here's what you do
1.Make sure your phone is not plugged into the computer.
2. Put the iPhone into recovery mode (this is NOT DFU mode). Do this by
     a). Hold down both the power/sleep button and the home button until the screen turns black/off
     b). As soon as this happens release the power button but NOT the home button
     c). If done correctly then the Apple logo will appear, KEEP HOLDING THE HOME BUTTON and eventually a connect to itunes graphic will appear. You can release the home button
3. With the connect to itunes graphic on the screen, plug your phone into the computer. iTunes will start up if it is not already on, and then will say the phone needs restoring. Ignore this and COMPLETELY quit iTunes.
4. With iTunes off and the graphic still on the phone screen, hold down both the power/sleep and the home button again for 9 seconds (count 100, 200, 300...) or until the screen goes black
5. When the screen goes black release the home button straight away.
6. It will start up with the iPhone activation screen ignore this. iTunes should have started up, if not do so. Go to the iPhone tab and either resotre from backup or set up as a new phone.
You're welcome

Music app crashes constantly after iOS5 update and won't restart.

I have an iPhone 4 that I updated to iOS5 last week. The first time I tried the new Music App, it ran very sluggishly. I then connected it to my JVC car stereo via the dock connector (Made for iPod), and the Music App crashed. After crashing, it just shows a blank white screen when you try to start the app, then crashes again after about ten seconds.
I can delete all the music from the iPhone via iTunes, and then re-add it, which seems to work for getting the Music App working again. But as soon as I try to connect it to the dock connector on my car stereo, it crashes again as previously described. Grrr.

No answers, only wanted to commiserate—I had a similar problem, and now my iPhone 5 running iOS 5 is showing the blank white screen for the Music app every time. No music showing anywhere, even when NOT connected to the dock in my car. I was wondering if the bug was related to the number of songs/size of files (since I have a crapload of music). This has to be happening to others...

Apps crashing/not opening after iOS5 update. Help please?

Before the iOS5 update, my apps use to crash like 5% of the time, but after I updated it, depending which app I use (for example: Plants vs. Zombies, which is the app that does this the most) crashes almost all the time. It's really annoying, epecially if it takes a long time for the app to load. The other day, last week, I bought the app game Pandemonium! (after seeing it was a game I use to play on the first PlayStation) but when I was about to play it, it wouldn't work. I restarted the app (by holding the lock button, then holding the home button) it didn't work. I deleted the app then reinstalled it, and it didn't work, still. Then I restarted my iPod and it still didn't work! I then read the reviews, and everybody who had updated to iOS5 had the same problem (white screen, then it goes back to the main menu where the app is located). I don't want to delete the apps, the reinstall it, because I will lose everything I worked hard for, and it really hurts when that happens, so what can I do? Especially for the Pandemonium! game as I really was looking forward to play that

- Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Try installing a new app
- Restore fro backup. Your app data like game progress will be restored
- Restore to factory defaults/new iPod.

My Time Machine and backup drive are not recognized and do not work after this update...is there a way to fix this?

After I upgraded to Yosemite, my MAC Time Machine backup drive is no longer recognized and the process freezes when I try to re-install the drive from the drive's software. Is there a way to fix this?

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled in OS X 10.9 or earlier, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

AAC files from iTunes 7 won't play on third party player

I use my Sony Ericsson W900i as my main digital audio player, and since i have upgraded to iTunes 7 i have found that any file that i have imported or converted into the standard (128Kbps) AAC format (and then transferred) will not play on my W900i. However, my W900i has no problem playing AAC files encoded with any previous versions of iTunes.
Can anyone tell me the possible reasons for this (is it to do with gapless palyback?) and let me know if there is any way of solving this problem.
Thanks

Thanks, Kay. Here's what I found after trying your suggestions:
First, I was using CD-R, and I know that's important.
Second, I double checked and yes, I was burning to AudioCD.
Third, I tried new CD-R media, et voilla!, it worked (first media was Maxell CD-R Music CD, and what worked was Sony CD-R). But here's the catch. Before upgrading to iTunes 5, CDs I had burned using the Maxell CD-R Music CDs worked fine in the player (still do). Now they don't. What could possibly cause that behavior? I thought a CD-R was pretty much a CD-R, and further, that the software should work pretty much the same re: how it burns to different media, even after an upgrade. Guess I'm wrong on at least one account.
BTW, I don't want to blame iTunes 5 as I don't know for sure, but I have had lots of crashes and kernal panics since upgrading...

When I move audio from itunes it won't play in the movie. How do I fix that ?

When I move a song from iTunes into a movie, it won't play when I play the movie. The movie file might be too big.
How do I fix that?

Hi
To get my Audio working I do
• only use .aiff 44.1kHz or 48kHz
• .mp3, .wma etc - all I convert to .aiff first
• from iTune - I do - Collect needed audio into a new PlayList - Then I burn this as an Audio-CD (not .mp3 - only .aiff) - then I use the files from this Audio-CD in my movie projects
And by doing like this - I have very few Audio problems.

Song purchased from iTunes Store won't play on my computer

Several people have posted variations on this question but I haven’t been able to find a coherent explanation of, or fix for, the problem.
I have downloaded all my CDs into iTunes and synched them to my iPod. Everything downloaded from CDs plays fine.
I bought and downloaded one song from the iTunes store. It appears on playlists, but I cannot play it using iTunes. When I click on it I get the blue highlighting but nothing happens when I click on the “Play” arrow. (I can play it using Quick Time). My computer is authorized.
When I synch the iPod, I get the error message “(song) was not copied to the iPod (my iPod) because it cannot be played on the iPod.”
I noticed that the files copied from CDs are .m4a files and the file downloaded from the iTunes store that won’t play is an .m4p.
I think this is some kind of rights issue. Can anyone explain what the problem is? Thanks in advance.

The trick of deleting the song to the Recycle Bin, dragging it to the Desktop and then back into iTunes worked. My guess is that because our computer was not authorized at the time of the purchase (this was our first purchase from the iTunes Store), the original file downloaded in a protected format. The computer has since been authorized, so the Recycle Bin ruse tricks iTunes into thinking it's a new file. I would still like to hear a confirmation of this from someone who knows though. Also, Apple should tell people to authorize their computers before making any purchases. It will save some confusion it seems.
Thanks for the tip.

Movie Downloads from iTunes Store won't play on my Mac or iPhone

Have just downloaded my Star Trek digital copy from the iTunes store; it is sitting on my Mac's hard drive as a .m4v file of nearly 2Gb; seems OK. However, if I click on 'play' in iTunes it shows a progress bar playing in iTunes & in the separate movie window I get a blank screen & no sound. I then sync'ed it with my iPhone & when I go into the iPod on the iPhone & play the movie I get the error "This movie could not be played". I have some podcasts on the Mac & iPhone & they work OK on both platforms.
Now I understood that the .m4v format was alright to play on both my Mac & on the iPhone but it's not working for me...anyone encountered this before / got any ideas pls?
Appreciate any help thx...Brooke.

Same issue. I've been buying TV shows and movies on iTunes for a long time and copying them to my iPhone to watch on my TV. A few days ago, I tried to move a rented movie to my iPhone the same way I always did, click the "move" button next to the movie under the movies tab for the iPhone in iTunes when iPhone was connected and then click "apply". It would do a quick sync without copying anything.
I thought I had a bum file, so I e-mailed Apple support and they reset the purchase so that I could redownload, which I'm doing now.
But my recently downloaded episodes of Lost will also not copy to my iPhone. AND they will not even play on my iMac. When I try to play them, it shows only a grey screen with a progress bar. TV shows and movies purchased and downloaded weeks or months ago still play fine.
No changes have been made to my system. After the rented movie didn't play and copy, I did a update check and downloaded and installed the latest versions of iTunes and the iPhone firmware. That didn't fix it. I have the newest versions of the Quicktime and iTunes. The computer is authorized for these purchases. The iPhone is authorized.
I've looked at similar threads and have not found a solution. I'm stumped. If anyone has a solution let me know.
