New messaging features not availble after upgrade to iOS 8.1

I've upgraded my 4s to 8.1, but I don't get the new messaging features. My keyboard doesn't have a button for emoticons and the strip with the dictionary words is missing. I've got the same old screen/keyboard I've always had. I have iMessage turned on. Is there some other setting I'm missing?

Never mind. I checked in settings and my os is still at 7.1.2. It looks like the upgrade failed.

IPhone Home Button not working after upgrade to ios 5.1.1

Hey everyone,
I'm pretty sure this is a software failure due to the symtoms the iPhone is showing;
0 - the home button does not work at all when the phone is turned on and running ios 5.1.1, well it used to work okay when i had ios 5.0.1, I upgraded to 5.1.0 and started working randomly, upgraded to 5.1.1 to see if it was fixed with no luck at all.
1 - When locked the screen does sometime light up, like when you press the home button and don't slide the unlock button. but it does not exit apps anytime, I mean it doesn't act like it's pressing the home button randomly but only when the phone is locked.
2- The button does work perfectly when iOS is not running: I can get in and get out of recovery and dfu mode at will, that wouldn't be possible if the button were broke.
3- what else? Oh yea, not really a symtom: Tried the 'home button calibration' several times.
4 - It's not filthy, since I really cleaned it thoroughly with a powerful tiny nozed air blower I got and gave a rubbing alcohol treatment too.
5 - when I shut the phone down it instantly turns back on, I can interrupt the turning on for turning the phone into dfu mode (i'm sure It's in DFU mode because the tinyumbrella log monitor tells me)
I'm now using the 'soft' home button that goes in the accesibility options, but hey, I didn't pay a ton of money for a phone that the same Apple is gonna break down.
It's out of warranty and I don't have apple stores where I live.
I'd downgrade to 5.0.1 in a snap if I could but I'm not into jailbreaking, so the shsh blob thingie is not a possibility.
Any apple dev around that can give me a workaround?
thanks a lot in advance

I had the same problem with Home button not responding after upgrading from iOS 5.1 to iOS 5.1.1 on an iPhone4.   I solved it but not sure exactly what fixed it.   Here is what I did.
1. Took it local Apple store Genius appointment.   They used a special tool and took some lint out of the connector opening.   The Home button started working.   They said even though the phone was out of warranty, I could buy a new replacement one without a contract for $150.
2.   The Home button stopped working when I got home.   I got some compressed air in a can and blew the air through the connector to try and clean out more dust.   I now keep the phone with the connector opening facing down in my pocket.   I also struck the phone downward on my hand or other soft surface to force as much dust out as possible.
3. The Home button still was intermittent. I then tried to do a hard reset by holding the power on key and the Home button simultaneously for about 10 seconds. This doesn't work if the Home button doesn't respond.
4. I connected the iphone to Itunes via the USB to sync the phone. While connected, I did a Hard Reset by Holding the Power button and Home button simultaneously. I noticed the Home button responded better when connected to ITUNES via the USB.
5. I did a backup of the iphone4 by highlighting the iphone 4 while connected to ITunes and right mouse click and selecting BACKUP.    I was prepared to reset my phone4 in iTUNES and restore it from the backup.
The phone worked consistently before I had to do this.
6. As a last resort which I didn't need to do, I was going to copy all my settings for the iphone by selecting the phone in iTUNES and looking at all the sync settings.   I would then have restored the iphone to original factory settings and then sync the phone using the copied settings. This would have made sure that the backup didn't include the bug.
Fortunately, I didn't have to do step 5 and 6.   Things started working after Step 4. So I don't really know if it was the iOS 5.1.1 upgrade or pure coincidence that the Home button stopped working immediately after the upgrade.

IMessage does not work after upgrade to iOS 8.1.3 to my iPad 4

iMessage does not work after upgrade to iOS 8.1.3 on my iPad 4

I Fixed it by trying to sign in with a different ID and canceling when it asked For a password and then signed in with my ID and it works! No more error message. I got this idea from another discussion. Thank you for replying though.

I am using Iphone 4 (not 4s) After upgrading to ios 5.0.1. is blocking. I live in Venezuela

Without more information, I have to say it sounds like the phone you have was not legitimately unlocked, but had been hacked. Updating iOS will re-lock it to the original carrier.
ONLY the carrier it is locked to can authorize unlocking it.
Where did you get the phone?

My iPhone 4 can not reboot after upgrading to iOS 6; keeps trying and cannot shut off either.

My iPhone 4 can not reboot after upgrading to iOS 6; keeps trying and cannot shut off either.

I FINALLY got it to work on BOTH iPhone 4 and iPpad 3. Here is what I had to do:
Had to DELETE all e-mail accounts including icloud.
Did a hard reset (hold down button on top right corner and round button on bottom center)
Then once it came back on, the iPhone had ALL of the accounts still on it and it was receivng e-mail.
The iPad receive e-mail until I did the steps above 5 times. Plus, I had to add back all of the e-mail accounts vs. on the iPhone 4 they were there when my phone came on.
Now I am receiving e-mail on both devices normally.
No clue why this happened, but Apple needs to find a fix ASAP.

My photos are not displaying after upgrade to iOS 7, My photos are not displaying after upgrade to iOS 7

On our ipad 2, after upgrading to iOS 7, the photo album is completely screwed, and the saved photos are not displaying correctly. How do we get our photos Back?

OK, tried the reset and it seems to have cleared up some problems; however, the picture problem remains.
Maybe there is something further we could do in settings? My wife uses the iPad as her constant companion and likes to take screen shots (pictures) of recipes and such. She keeps them in albums. Before the update to iOS 7 they all displayed correctly regardless of physical machine orientation. Now, post update, when in landscape mode, which she uses 99.9% of the time, her pics do do fully display. By physically rotating the machine, they will appear correctly. We have noticed that there is a new "function" in edit pics for "aspect ratio."
Should we be using this? If so, she'll have to edit a very large number of pics. So I'm wondering if we're missing some new setting. BTW- this display problem also occurs with pics taken with the camera as well.

Hdmi adapter not working after upgrade to iOS 8

My Hdmi adapter (orig. Apple) is not working anymore after upgrade to iOS 8, is there any solution.

The IOS 8 update has nothing to do with the failure of the device. I have a HDMI adapter and it has worked fine through IOS 6, IOS 7 and IOS 8.
You may want to restart your device by holding the home and power button until the Apple logo appears. If the adapter still fails to work you need to determine if the adapter has failed or the port on your device has failed. Best solution is to go to the Apple store with the device and the adapter. If your adapter has failed it may be under warranty if you still have the sales receipt. If the port on your device is bad then the Apple store will be able to provide you with options.

IPhone Bluetooth not working after upgrading to iOS 6.1.2

I used to pair my iPhone with my Blue&Me system in my Fiat Car and it was working perfectly hitherto. Recently I have been experiencing problems with Pairing my phone with my car Bluetooth system (Which I sometimes use for receiving calls).. The phone though identifies the car system in the discovery mode but is not able to pair and establish connection. My car Bluetooth system is working just fine with other phones. Request apple / or anyone who can help to help me overcome this issue. My car system is as important to me as iPhone and if this problem persists, i may be forced to change my phone.

In the 4+ years of using iPhone and several other apple products, this is the first time that I am feeling frustrated with my iPhone 4S and Apple. I am surprised that so many people around the world are facing the problem with their blue tooth devices after upgrading the iOS and still there is no hope of having this situation resolved. The cause of breakage of communication between iPhone (my investment, my ownership) and other devices is of apple origin and apple can't walk away by suggesting that the other party should upgrade the Bluetooth Firmware.
In my case, My iPhone 4S stopped paring with My Fiat car blue&me system after updating to iOS 6.1.2. The problem has not been solved in iOS 6.1.3.
If this problem is not solved in next update the ovious solution is to move to android as I can change my phone but I can't change my car that eaisly.

Some Of My Apps Do Not Work After Upgrading To iOS 4 And Fluctuating Wi-Fi

After upgrading to iOS 4 on my 8GB iPod Touch, some of my audio apps do not work. CBS Radio just crashes, ESPN Radio stays on the "Station ESPN Radio data loaded" screen, and the iRadioSuite stays on "Connecting". Sirius/XM Online, iheart radio, Radio, and WunderRadio appear to work correctly. Also, I always had three bars for wi-fi signal strength on my home network before the upgrade. Now I get fluctuating levels that at times go down to two bars and even one bar. Needless to say, this is very frustrating!

I also updated the iPhone 3G yesterday to iOS 4. I just turned on wi-fi on the iPhone. CBS Radio crashed on the iPhone but I got a steady three bar wi-fi signal strength level as I moved around the condo so this must be an 8GB iPod Touch and iOS 4 interface issue.

New tab (+) is not working after upgrading forefox to v 23.0.1

I had firfox version 22 i guess...Now today morning, I upgraded it to v 23. It displayed a message that one of the plug-in is not compatible with it and so wud be disabled. now later on I again downloaded the plug in to check whether its working or not but neither it worked (as I had already guessed) nor its showing in the add-ons or plug-ins.
Now I am not getting why the new tab is not working. Not at all. Its so very annoying. I have googled the question and tried resetting firefox and new tab setting in about:config. But nothing helped.
I think its because of that plug-in as I read somewhere that settings may be getting overridden by one of the faulty add-ons.
Please help.

Thanks
But the problem is still there when I run firefox in safe mode...

Contact name does not appear after upgrading to iOS 5

I recently upgraded to iOS 5 and after doing so, contact name does not appear when someone calls; but text messages the name appears. I have saved all my contacts under +9 format.

This indicates that the phone was carrier locked and had been 'hacked' to unlock it. Updating the phone has re-locked it to the original carrier.
ONLY the carrier it is locked to can authorize unlocking it. Not all do so. Contact the carrier and find out what their policy is.
If it's locked to AT&T, you may as well sell it and buy a new phone. AT&T will not unlock iPhones for any reason.

Internet conection (3G) not working after upgrading to iOS 6.0.1

After upgrading my iPhone 3GS to iOS 6.0.1 my internet connection stopped working, not even the 'edge' signal is working. Can I downgrade to iOS 6.0 in iTunes? If I restore the iPhone in iTunes it will go to the older version of iOS (factory default)?

We're all users like yourself.
If you want to talk to someone at Apple, go to an Apple store or call 800-My-Apple.
Have you tried Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings?
What about basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide which is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new)?
Consider 6.0.1 has been out for several weeks, it's highly unlikely the issue is with 6.0.1 and more likely it is the device, the SIM, the carrier, or the network.

Caller id not working after upgrade to IOS 8.

I have an iPhone 5 which I upgraded to IOS 8. After the upgrade the caller id does not shows the person's name (which I have on my Contacts) on the screen. Now I installed IOS 8.1.1 but the problem persists. This happens also on an iPhone 5S from my office.
Any recommendations?

Do not pay attention to the previous comment. Sometimes names are shown for numbers stored in IOS address book or Exchange and sometimes (most of the time) not.

Alerts sounds are not working after upgrading to iOS 7.1.2

Hi,
I've noticed that all the alerts sounds are not working anymore after upgrading my iPhone 4S to iOS 7.1.2
I’ve reviewed similar posts regarding the same issue; and it seems this is a common issue in iPhone 4S when upgrade to iOS 7.1.2.
Apple, please Advise if there anything I can do to resolve the issue especially that my work deepens on the push emails and alerts that requires prompt response.

I got this issue resolved.
It caused due to some dirt in the charger slot; such dirt caused the phone to assume as if it is connected to a car kit and that is why it does not produce any sound except the Ringer and the Alarm.
It has been fixed by cleaning the charger slot by toothbrush! with some
drops of a cleaner.
Do not do it by yourself, as it might be a risk; rather, let it to be done by an expert.

Airplay on Apple TV not working after upgrading to iOS 8 (3rd Party Apps)

Hi
I hope someone can help me with this issue.
After upgrading the iPhone 5 and iPad 2 to iOS 8.1, as well as upgrading the Apple TV to the latest version, I now end up with ** some ** videos as well as photos that can't be played over AirPlay on 3rd Party Apps. (Note: I have no issues with 'mirroring' from the iPad to the AppleTV though.)
1.   It can play .mp4 and .mov files;
2.   It could NOT play .mkv or .avi files - there's audio but NO video
3.   It can play the photos and videos from Apple's own apps (i.e. 'Videos' and 'Photos') however (i.e. with both audio and video)
4.   It could NOT display any photos from 3rd Party Apps
5.   This is happening to more than one 3rd Party Apps (i.e. no display of photos; and no video though there's audio)
Fyi, I've emailed to the respective Developers, but after reading some of the threads in this forum, I suspect that the root cause could be with iOS 8 (as well as the latest software update to AppleTV) as I didn't have this problem at all under iOS 7.
Anybody has any solution?
Thanks in advance.
