My iPad 2 is awful since the upgrade! How do I go back?

I Have lost many functions since the upgrade. Help!

Downgrading the iOS version is not supported by Apple.
What functions have you lost ?
If you are having problems (e.g. with performance) then what have you tried to see if they improve things ? Have you tried :
- closing apps via the iPad's taskbar : iOS: Force an app to close.
- if having problems with Safari then try clearing its history and data : Settings > Safari
- soft-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.
- backing up (and copying any purchases over to your computer's iTunes library via File > Devices > Transfer Purchases) and restoring
- adjusting settings e.g. turning 'reduce motion' on (Settings > General > Accessibility), turning off 'background app refresh (Settings > General), turn off multitasking gestures (Settings > General)
- resetting back to factory defaults (after copying off purchases and any documents, photos etc that you want to keep) and then resyncing

I cannot AirPrint from my iPad or iPhone since the upgrade to ios7.0.3

I see the recommendations home button, check recent apps tray. Is this from the iPad or the printer? I,m not finding it on either one.
All other computers are able to AirPrint.
My iPad sometimes connects to the printer but it never prints.

1. Turn the router, iPad and printer off.
2. Turn on the router and then wait 30 seconds to let it complete its start-up process.
3. Turn on printer and then wait 30 seconds to let it complete its start-up process.
4. Turn on your iPad and test print.

Contacts are missing information since the upgrade, how do I get the information back? They were recently added contacts and I am missing info on about 100 of them. Anyone know how I can get the info back?

Itunes said I needed to do the upgrade to the new OS. So I downloaded the new OS and all the contacts that I have added over the last 2 months just have names and no other information. I tried re-syncing with my computer and that did not work and now that info is missing on my computer. Is there any way I can get the information back????

No, you can't downgrade iOS. You should be able to restore the address book on your computer from your backup, though. Windows address book probably got wiped on the first sync after the upgrade completed. It sounds like the iPhone may have been disconnected before the entire restore cycle was complete if the contact records in Windows Address book got munged.

How do I fix my iPad screen rotation since the iOS 7 upgrade?

How do I fix my iPad screen rotation since the iOS 7 upgrade?
Since the upgrade, my screen orientation does not change based on the iPad's current position. It is often upside-down?
Anyone else have a similar issue? If no, how did you fix it?

Additional things to try.
Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.

I have just now tried the Reinstall via iTunes, about 20 into the download, the iTunes logo on the phone disappeared, and the Apple Logo appeared again,,, I waited until the iTunes stated that the download had finished, and the install was in progress,,,
Nothing happened, still the Apple Logo was visual on the screen, iTunes never recognised the phone which it was on my iTunes account previously,,,
Still just a bunch of lines, maybe 5 or 6 so small writing,, I personally can not read what it is telling me, someone said it reads, incorrect shutdown,,,????????
Please advise,???
I am now at a loss,,, I really became excited when I saw the iTunes icon after putting the phone into restore,,,???

How can i upgrade to IOS5.0? I get a message saying my ipad is ineligible for the upgrade

IOS5 downloads fine through itunes on my macbook and when I connect my ipad, it asks me if i want to upgrade.
When I say yes, it backups up the ipad, extracts the software and then shows a message saying my ipad is ineligible for the upgrade.

Hey Mighty Duck x,
Thanks for the question. After reviewing your post, it sounds like you need to authorize the computer. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help you resolve or isolate the issue.
Authorize your computer using iTunes
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Have a nice day,

Since the upgrade to IOS7, the default phone label when adding new contacts on my iPhone 5 is "Radio". Previously the default was "Mobile" how can this be changed back to "Mobile"?

Since the upgrade to IOS7, the default phone label when adding new contacts in my iPhone 5 is "Radio". Previously the default was "Mobile". It is a hassle as when my iPhone contacts are synched with Outlook via Exchange, the phone number I've entered on the iPhone doesn't show on the default Outlook view as it is a "Radio" number rather than a "Mobile", "Work", "Home", etc number. It is still stored both on the iPhone & in Outlook & I can still use the number to phone or SMS, it is just incorrectly labelled & hence the source of frustration.
Apple please return the default to "Mobile" or alternatively find a way we can alter the default ourselves to "Mobile" or "Home" etc.

IPad AirPlay issues since IOS7 upgrade

Hi all
Since the last ios7 upgrade i've had nothing but trouble with my AirPlay set up.
I have the following set up:
HP ProLiant N40L server running iTune server (latest build)
BT HomeHub 3 / TP Link TL-PA211 WiFi extender
iPad 3rd geneeration
iHome iW1 AirPlay speaker
Before the upgrade i would get some intermittent issues, but eventually after iPad restarts i could get AirPlay working. Since the upgrade 90% of the time my iPad will not see any AirPlay devices whatseover. After a reboot of the iPad (or more) it eventually sees the Airplay speaker. iTunes however on my server always sees the AirPlay device and has no problems whatsoever connecitng to it (please bear in mind that this is still on the same WiFi network).
On the occassional 10% that my iPad does see an AirPlay device, I connect, and then almost immediately the AirPlay device dissappears from the iPad.
I've spent 2 weeks now trying to sort the issue out. As my iTunes can see the AirPlay speaker without issues and play to it, I'm assuming it's part of the ios update.
Anyone got any suggestions, as i'm ready to throw in the towel?
Thanks
Simon

Hi
First, before you lose interest - I have a solution that works so well to get BT Home Hub 3 working with 'Airplay' and Apple TV and my iPad 4, that I am so far unable to 'break' it. Please do try to break it yourself, and could you report back here or mark it with stars or whatever so I know what happened in someone else's setup?
I appreciate what you are going through, all I wanted to do was get 'Real Racing 3' running for me and the kidz on the TV that is attached to Apple TV box. Sometimes the Airplay icon appeared, sometimes not, it was chance - really frustrating.
The nub of it is this - you 'reserve' certain aspects of how the HH3 services the wifi network, so it directs data/communications via these 'reserved' ports specifically assigning them to the purpose you need - in this case, 'stuff' (technical eh?) going to the Apple TV so that Airplay works.
Apple forums somewhere list these publicised ports, and you go into HH3 management (tap in the IP address of the hub in 'safari' to get there, then put in your password for admin - it is 'admin' if you didn't change it already). In short, you use one of the games/applications that already are in the list for 'Port Forwarding', and I modified the name of a new one I made to make it like 'Airplay attempt using BT alarm' or something, because I 'copied' the BT safe alarm app details to start my custom one off. Lost yet?! Go into the HH3 manager, go to the A-Z I think it might be in 'advanced' and get 'Port Forwarding' up.
Ok, here's the things to set - if you peruse the apps/games they already list in HH3 for this sort of thing, you will see entries under 'TCP' or 'UDP' headings, and it's these sort of things we want to reserve. I only set the single specific addresses (it's just a number to you and me) that were listed on the Apple site as being to do with Airplay:
There are only 2 bits to set - you hit the button on screen in HH3 manager, to 'add entry', then select in the box marked 'protocol' that you want TCP or UDP according to the info I dug up from Apple site below - don't worry it is not complex to do you are just editing a couple of figures on a thing you don't use. Incidentally, I left the first two entries as they were (1024 was in there already) because I am just timid! So set it as below.
TCP 1024 -
UDP 1024 -
TCP 80 80
Any 123 123
TCP 443 443
Any 554 554
TCP 3689 3689
UDP 5353 5353
I took a pic of mine, for records, and this is what is in that pic. You have to enter the self-same number (eg 123 as above) no less than 4 times, this gives the results above.
On the bottom right, there is a button that says 'apply', so you hit that and it saves this new-fangled custom designed list of reserved ports/addresses for your 'Airplay BT alarm' or whatever you called it. THEN YOU MUST ASSIGN THIS CREATION OF YOURS TO A DEVICE - THE APPLE TV.
That's the basics of what I did - I have since restarted the BT HOMEHUB 3 several times, the Ipad 4 several times, the Apple TV has updated its software and has been restarted twice. STILL AIRPLAY WORKS.
So, I am reassuringly presented with the Airplay icon whenever I 'upswipe' on my ipad from the bottom of the screen - iOS 7.1 is on my ipad obviously, but that did not change the hit-and-miss of the Airplay icon until I made these mods to the HH3.
Over to you - try and break my solution please, and let me know if it works for you as well, or not. All I know is, Real Racing 3 can reliably be brought to bear on the Apple TV thing, and the Airplay icon is now never missing.
One more point - I think I also set the Apple TV IP address to be static - my ipad has had this situation for some time, along with the 'lease' set to a couple of weeks or something, so it does not try to select a different channel for wifi frequently? PLUS, I set something in the ipad I think, long ago (did not affect this issue as far as I can see), so that when the ipad 'wakes up' it does not decide to search for a better channel or IP address or something - that caused loads of glitches it seemed, then I found out my BT HH3 was on the end of dodgy phone cable not hi-quality shielded...but hey, that's a different bucket of bolts.
Good luck and let me know an outcome please, best to all.

HT204135 Printer sharing between OS X 10.8 and OS X 10.4.11 ain't working no more since the upgrade from Lion 10.7.

Hi,
I'm running a 2012 iMac Intel with OS X 10.8., and on this Mac everything just runs fast, fine and smooth.
But we still run also several older iMac G5 that share the printer which is connected to the new Intel iMac.
With OS X Lion 10.7., printer sharing worked just fine, but since the upgrade to 10.8., the old G5 iMac's don't list
nor find the shared printer any longer.
Thanks for any hints and clues how to eventually solve this problem,
Jan

Hello, my Ipad was stolen about a week ago, I activated the "find my iPhone" app, however it says my Ipad is offline since the day it was stolen, so does anyone know:

Hello, my Ipad was stolen about a week ago, I activated the "find my iPhone" app, however it says my Ipad is offline since the day it was stolen, does anyone know…:
1. Is there another way I can track its location, or more importantly have the information stored on my Ipad erased ASAP?
2. Taking into consideration I blocked the iPad using the find my iPhone app, is there anyway the iPad can be used? Can someone erase all the data, my itunes account, reset all settings etc.? before connecting online?
3. How can I recover my photos? I already signed in to icloud on my PC and I have no "Photo" icon, does this mean that they are lost?
Thank you!

If I can't get my contacts and calendar to sync, half of the reason I have a smart phone is gone.
Rather than switching to Apple, use a smartphone that WILL sync with your calendar and contacts - a Windows or Android phone. iPhones do sync with Apple products nearly flawlessly, but they don't play nice with other OS's.
Android works well with Google; and Windows works well with, well, Windows and Microsoft products. Android and Windows do cooperate somewhat.
