My Iphone 5 has been jumping from anywhere between 50%-60% to less than 20%, any ideas?
Huge battery drops?
In our case after a long search we found out that it was a rogue app (my wife and I) as they call it as described in my post from the 28th of March. We both are again very happy with the 'normal' battery usage after removing this rogue app which was running all the time.
We now have again a 1-1,5 day or even 2 days (if i don't use my phone much) and with WIFI connecting for about 90-95% of the day and ofcourse phone network but no 3G.
For people who are still struggeling with battery drainage i would suggest to read my post and also look at this blog post first from a former 'Geniusbar' person at an Apple Store.
this message is a repeat of my previous message from the 14th of April but i'm still seeing quite some replies on this topic from people which do not indicate what they did do (e.g. check the blog post or not) and if the indeed have the exact same Usage time as Stand-by time or not in their Settings > General > Use > ..
If this is not the case then it could be that it simply is a hardware issue (battery itself) and not software related.

Hi, the App Store icon has been removed from my iPad even after synching and updating. Any suggestions on how to get it back to be able to update / purchase apps?
If you do not have, or remember, the passcode for Restrictions, the only option available to you is to reset the device to factory settings via itunes.

Memory usage jumps from 3 to 5 GB in less than 24 hrs!
I have an iPhone 3GS with 8GB and iOS 5.1.1
Practical available memory is usually 6+GB
Yesterday, when I last backed up, my memory was about half full, a combination of music (0.9GB), photos (0.16GB) and apps (1.4GB).
Just now, not even 24 hrs later, I see my memory usage has jumped up to nearly 5GB, leaving only 1.57GB free. When I look in iTunes, the yellow "other" bar now accounts for 2.2GB but I know I did not add anything there.
The only new thing is that system settings notifies me it wants to install iOS6. I do not want to upgrade. Could it be that the phone downloaded the upgrade, even though I did not tell it to?
If it is not the new OS waiting to be installed, what could it possibly be? And how do I get rid of all that bloat?
Please advise, thanks in advance!As much as it drives me nuts loosing memory to Other I've decided the best way for it not to be annoying is to never sync or update any software again, I'm very good at being an ostrich when I want to.
I backup my contacts with an iPhone app, all Gmail emails are store permanently on the Gmail server, any music I purchase is automatically backed up in iTunes and if my phone ever does crash and needs a restore I'll do it then, hopefully these things will be fixed at that stage.
Apart from the annoying Other Memory issue, and the battery problem with iOS5, the iPhone has been my most reliable and enjoyable phone to date and I've decided to just enjoy it as it is. I'll replace the phone in about a year when my plan finishes and, by then, most of these bugs should have been sorted out. If not, Samsung looks pretty good -
I tried to install a virus scanner, traffic light to see where the problem exists with no luck, any suggestions?

Is there a way to retrieve a text message that has been deleted from my iphone?
Is there a way to retrieve a text message that has been deleted from my iphone? I did't delete the message but after i synced my phone the message was gone.
No, the app doesn't use Safari. The app is AutoDesk Inventor Publisher Viewer. I think there is a way that you can have a publish Inventor file, and if you create a correctly formatted hyperlink, you can click on it and it will immediately open the file in the viewer.
I know that if you offer the file as a standard download, iOS will ask whether you want to open it with Inventor Pub. Viewer or save it to another app that can accept files. I would prefer to skip the prompt, and just open the viewer.
I've heard mention that this can be done with this application, but I can't find reference material anywhere. -
Is there any way to get a log of the bluetooth devices my Iphone has been connected to? I recenly had my Bluetooth Jabra stolen from my car and now a simliar one is on Craigslist. I'd like to give my connection log to the police before I go and see if my Iphone recognizes the device in question. Any way to get any type of bluetooth device connection log out of my iphone?
Your contacts should still be on whatever program you sync your iphone to (i.e. Outlook, address book).
The iphone is not a stand alone device. It is designed to be synced with a computer. If you have not been syncing with a compatible program, then you are out of luck. Your contacts are not included in the back-up because it is meant to be synced with your computer.
"Although iTunes backs up most of your iPhone and iPod touch settings, downloaded applications, and other information (Contacts, calendars, notes, images in the Camera Roll), your audio, video, and photo content are not included in the backup."

My wife and I have an iphone each using one apple id. How do we stop phone contacts being deleted from one phone and then find it has been deleted from the other?
Also this works when one of us downloads an app it appears on the other iphoneYou need to use separate iCloud accounts. This will mean that you can both have your own separate contracts and calendars and put an end to them being deleted by each other.
Whether or not you have a separate iTunes account, is up to you. If you have a separate iTunes accounts you will not be able to access the music, books, apps that have been purchased by the other. This may be exactly what you want, but it also means that you both may end up purchasing the same item. -
my iphone has been water damaged and in the mean time ive gone back to using my old phone. But i need to get all the contacts from my iphone i had synced to my laptop, but i don't know where to find them and im not sure if ive backed them up to anything!
If your contacts are synced to your computer then they are in the supported app you are syncing with.
When you set up syncing of contacts on your device, which application did you select? -

If your device has been jailbroken during the warranty, Apple will not service it.
Maybe you missed that in this article:
Inability to apply future software updates: Some unauthorized modifications have caused damage to iOS that is not repairable. This can result in the hacked iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch becoming permanently inoperable when a future Apple-supplied iOS update is installed.
Apple strongly cautions against installing any software that hacks iOS. It is also important to note that unauthorized modification of iOS is a violation of the iOS end-user software license agreement and because of this, Apple may deny service for an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch that has installed any unauthorized software.

Why does Epson app for the iphone show a folder that has been deleted from my camera roll?
Why does the Epson app for my iphone 4 show a folder that has been deleted from my camera roll for months now?
Thanks @pdroth. I did a quick Google search of DB indexing. I'm not sure I found exactly what you were referring to but I see where you're going with it. I can understand that indexing my database of stored photos can be time consuming. It's frustrating that the space can't be recognized as being free more quickly.
I notice that some items I delete seem to free up the space much more quickly. Removing an app entirely or deleting from my Music generally shows up as available space in Usage pretty quickly.
Deleting a photo or video from the Camera Roll will take MUCH longer, so I guess that has something to do with the indexing process you are referring to.
I'd like to point out that when I run out of space on an SD card on any budget point and click digital camera that I can quickly delete a picture or two and INSTANTLY be able to take a couple of new photos in their place. I guess I just have that same expectation for the $500+ engineering marvel I have in my hand right now.
Thanks for chiming in. -
my iphone 4 has been stolen from 25bus at near to Stratford yesterday,can apple track my phone anyhow by using imei? plz help me to fond it out.
No. You can do it if you have Find My iPhone installed/enabled on your iPhone though, but only if the phone is still turned on

Hey, constantly since I installed the iOS 7.1 upgrade, my iPhone has been constantly shutting down and I think it's really frustrating and I whant to know how I can stop my iPhone from shutting down so I can downgrade to iOS 7.0.4?
7.1.1 is certainly compatible with the iPhone 4. Just try a reset first.
Close all open apps by double-tapping the home button, then swiping up and off the screen with the app window (not the smaller icon).
Reset your device: hold down the home button along with the sleep/wake button until the screen goes black and you see the Apple, then let go. (No data loss) -
Is there a way to ensure that data has been wiped from my iphone 3g. It shows the "connect to itunes" screen when turned on.
That is how it appears brand new out of the box.

my new iphone 6 plus has been restoring from iCloud backup for days. I do not have all my apps or music yet. How do I fix it?
Hello Bernharp,
Thank you for participating in the Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like your iPhone 6 Plus is taking a long time to restore from an iCloud backup. I can understand why you'd be concerned after several days of waiting.
This might happen if your backup contains a lot of content such as pictures or your Wi-Fi connection isn't consistent.
If the restore still hasn't completed, take a look at the information in the "Restoring my device from an iCloud backup is taking a long time" and "A message says restore incomplete or some items could not be restored" sections of this Support article:
If you need help restoring from an iCloud backup - Apple Support
Sincerely,
Jeremy
