Open in list shortened after ios 5 upgrade on ipad 1

Upgraded to ios 5 on iTouch4 and iPad1. Works fine on iTouch but on ipad if i try an Open-in with say a pdf (or other type) from dropbox (or any other app) I  get a max of 4 apps to open it in - many that should open it (which worked with open-in before the upgrade) do not appear in the list. This includes apps that had been updated to work with ios 5 before the upgrade.
Is this a feature of Ios5 on ipad1? Or is it a problem caused during the upgrade? If its the second - how can i correct it? re-installing the apps diesn't seem to fix it.
I also notice a few crashes of standard apps like mail - which i dont seem to get on the itouch. I thought this was just ios5 bugginess but maybe its related?

I'm noticing the same issue on my iPad 2.  On the iPad 2 the list seems limited to 10 apps, and the priority seems to be the newest apps you've loaded onto your device.  I have many more than 10 apps on my iPad that will open a pdf, and the ones I wish to get to the most, like GoodReader and Dropbox, are no longer showing in the list.  I went to the GoodReader Troubleshooting site, and the following is their answer: 
I try to use "Open In" menu in some other app to send PDF and other files to GoodReader, but I don't see GoodReader in the list of apps
The following is valid only if you're referring to a file type that GoodReader actually supports (like .PDF, .TXT, .ZIP, etc.)
The Open In functionality is controlled by iOS, we have no active control over it, we just declare GoodReader to be capable of accepting certain file types. iOS is known to show only a limited number of randomly selected apps for any given file type when you invoke the Open In action in any app. The actual maximum number of apps depends on a device type and on a version of iOS. The only way to resolve this issue is to delete some apps that you don't need that expose themselves for a particular file type, to make way to other eligible apps.
Now I have removed a few apps, and each time I do, another app shows in the "list of 10" but still not the ones I want.  If only there were a setting to prioritize which apps make it into the top ten (or top four, in your instance).  I looked in my iPhone tosee if it was an issue.  GoodReader and Dropbox appear in the list there, but the list is only 9 apps long.  I don't want to keep removing these other apps, as I have docs in them and they have unique functionality besides being able to open pdf files.  The random nature of this list doesn't fit with Apple's usual precise software engineering ethic.
Does anyone know how to submit this as an issue to Apple?

    Thanks for your quick response. I've tried everything you suggested and get only temporary fixes. Sometimes for a day or two, sometimes only until I use Safari for the first time. It's annoying and probably effects battery life between charges.
    You would think that it must have some effect on the battery, but oddly enough, the update to iOS 8 actually helped my battery life, in spite of all of these hinky little issues that are taking place. In my experience, the activity icon is not affecting the battery in a negative way.
    Another issue with IOS 8.1 that you may have seen is the loss of icon pictures on home pages. Again it seems to be Safari related, since app icons found in the App Store are not affected, only web based icons you personally put on home pages. I get what I call a test screen similar to what you used to get on old tv sets on every one of my personal icons.
    I know exactly what you mean. I got that as well. On a few of them, when I opened the websites using the generic test screen icons and then closed them, they changed back to the way that they should look. For the ones that did not change, I recreated the home screen shortcuts and deleted the generic looking ones - the test screen icons.
    And don't get me started on iBooks.
    For the very limited use that I make of the iBooks app, i haven't noticed any problems, but I rarely use the app. I don't read books on the iPad other than a few user guides and if they are pdf guides, they reside in more reliable and feature rich pdf apps on my iOS device.
    I wish that I had the fix for the spinning activity icon, but everything that I try, is temporary at best. IMO, this is the buggiest iOS update that I have seen, and I have been using iOS devices since iOS 3 on my first iPad. I realize that there are plenty of people that are not experiencing issues, but I have seen a number of weird things that I wish I could fix. None of my problems are major, but they are annoying.

    No logic - as usual - just a bug!

  • I bought a Sandisk Connect Media Drive, downloaded the app from iTunes.  Before iOS 8, movies played fine.  After iOS upgrade I can no longer play movies downloaded from iTunes to the media drive.  Anyone else have a similar issue?

    I bought a Sandisk Connect Media Drive, downloaded the app from iTunes.  Before iOS 8, movies played fine.  After iOS upgrade I can no longer play movies downloaded from iTunes to the media drive.  Anyone else have a similar issue?

    I checked with SanDisk's own online support and they indicate that they have notified Apple of the issue.
    According to SanDisk, the problem lies with Apple not having the iOS 8 version of the Safari browser having DRM decoding enabled that the Media Drive relies upon to decode and play iTunes DRM titles. Non DRM encoded videos will play in the browser.
    DRM audio is not effected as this is handled by the native iOS music app.
    As of the date of this post SanDisk have not been given a timeframe by Apple for this issue to be resolved.
    I hope that Apple resolves this issue quickly as I have a large collection of DRM video titles on a 128Mb memory card installed in the Media Drive that I am unable to view.

  • No valid license found after IOS upgrade on C3750x switch

    HI,
    Two switches below are working fine as a stack with IOS c3750e-universalk9-mz.122-55.SE5.bin & ipbase license.
    Switch#1 (Master, WS-C3750X-24P-S)
    Switch#2 (Member, WS-C3750X-24P-S)
    After IOS Upgrade to c3750e-universalk9-mz.150-2.SE7.bin, The stack was broken. Switch#2 didn’t recognise valid ipbase license with new IOS and came up with lanbase license instead. Therefore stack cannot be composed due to license mismatch between Switch#1 (ipbase) and switch#2(lanbase).
    I’m wondering why Switch#2 didn’t recognise ipbase license with new IOS even though IPASE is running well with previous IOS.
    Here is excerpt from “show version” with 15.x image on Switch#2.
    License Level: lanbase
    License Type: Default. No valid license found.
    Next reload license Level: lanbase
    Here is excerpt from “show version” with 12.x image on Switch Stack.
    License Level: ipbase
    License Type: Permanent
    Next reload license Level: ipbase
    Thanks
    Jeong

    Thanks guys,
    I have fixed the issue by configuring  'license boot level ipbase' on the member switch#2. The switch recognised IPBASE license well and joined the stack successfully.

    Using iPhone/iPad Recovery Mode

    ‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
    Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
    I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
    Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
    1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
    2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
    3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
    4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
    5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
    6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
    7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
    8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just cancelling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
    If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.

  • Ipad ios upgrade, now ipad shuts off constantly

    I updated to the new ios upgrade, now ipad shuts off within a few minutes, every few minutes then turns itself on.  Any suggestions?

    Try Reset iPad
    Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears
    Note: Data will not be affected.

  • Shortcuts for messages don't work after iOS upgrade

    After having upgraded to the most recent iOS, my shortcuts don't work in messages and mails anymore. Has anyone else had the same experience?

    Well, it's telling you that the datset doesn't exist. From the help in 4.7:
    OPEN DATASET
    Addition 1a
    ... FOR INPUT
    Effect
    OPEN ... FOR INPUT opens the file in read mode.
    If the file does not exist, OPEN ... FOR INPUT fails with Return Code SY-SUBRC = 8.
    Note
    If OPEN DATASET is not executed in a Unicode program and if the user has write authorization for the file, the file is opened in read and write mode. Otherwise, it is only opened in read mode.

  • Can't sync iPad after iOS upgrade to7.0.2 - repeated authorisation prompt - using admin profile, file SC info does not exist

    Hello,
    After I upgraded to iOS 7.0.2 I can't sync iPad mini with PC (on Windows XP). I keep getting the folowing message: "The iPad could not be synced because this computer is no longer authorized for purchase items on this iPad". I tried everything:
    1) De-authorizing and rebooting (about 100 times);
    2) De-installing and reinstalling itunes;
    3) Deactivating the firewall;
    4) Run Diagnostics (result - all works fine including sync);
    5) Tried to look for the "SC info" directory or file everyone is referring to in the Computer (Hidden files) of the iTunes directory - nothing;
    6) Ticking and unticking the |Sync over Wi-Fi" option;
    7) Changing backup from iCloud to this Computer and back.
    I am using the admin account on my PC - doesn't help.
    I cannot sync anything at all.
    BTW - on the PC and on the iPad - everything that is there plays OK. I can get stuff from iStore both from iPad and from the PC - but I can't sync the two.
    It looks like an iOS 7 bug to me - any ideas or advice?
    Thanks.
    D.

    No I have tried multiple connections, at home, at work, and even at my church but to no avail.  For example I have recently purchased a CD from Itunes using my computer, but my ipad will only play it from the cloud.  I've tried to download straight from my Ipad and that too does not work.  When ever I try to plug the Ipad into the computer a window pops up and says that the sync has failed.  If I try to drag the file to the Ipad it will say it's loading than just quit before it transfers.  hmmm.  I hope they get this bug fixed some.  would really like to have that CD to isten to on the go.   Another issue I am no having is the apps are having trouble updating.  I have tried to turn off auto update and do it manually and that too is failing.

  • POE 3560 Issue after IOS upgrade

    Hello,
    I having issue where 6 WLAN AP's not coming back uo after reboot and IOS upgrade of 3560 POE swtiches - . Prior to changes here most if not all ALL the 23 Aps were mainly on one switch, Now after these changes they are now spread over three switches ( 3560's) - with 17 coming back on line
    I am sure its not the power limitation of the switch(s) as the one switch I am TS at present had a fairly large allocation of the aps attached prior to ios upgrade and reload. and the available power value now showing is applicable.for 8 AP's
    I have tried various TS steps to try and bring them back up - A couple of things I would like to try but I am restricted to do so is to check the APS physically or downgrade the ios!
    Any input on this matter would be truly appreciated.- (attached is the log buffer debug)

    c3560-ipbase-mz.122-25.SEE2.bin
    You upgraded the IOS to the switch?  I shudder at the thought of what old version did you upgrade FROM.  
    Available:370.0(w) Used:110.4(w) Remaining:259.6(w)
    You've got more than enough PoE left. 
    Only two things comes to my mind:  
    1.   Cable issue - Unfortunately, the 3560 is a non-GigabitEthernet and this particular sub-model does NOT support TDR.
    2.  Hardware failure - Read THIS.

  • Photoshop CS3 fails to "open" in Win XP after SP3 upgrading

    In both my desktops: P5W Deluxe and P6T after I upgrade my Windows XP from SP2 to Sp3 I cannot open Photoshop CS3 (...Photoshop not respomding...)
    I do not think the problem is with Photoshop because my desktop "SEARCH" also does not function.
    I hope someone can suggest possible remedies.  When I RESTORE back to SP2 everything is OK. The reason I want to go to SP3 is the 2011 Turbotax "Home & Business" requires SP3!!!!
    I thank you
    Kosmas

    Photoshop certainly can work with XP SP3.
    I suggest making sure your drivers are all up to date.  For example, go to the web site of the maker of your video card and download/install their latest XP release for your hardware.
    You may also want to reinstall Photoshop to ensure all it's prerequisite requirements are re-examined by the installer.

  • IPad 2 Does not retain names and passwords after iOS-upgrade  to 8.0.2

    After the last series of iOS upgrades (device current status is 8.0.2 , latest available) the iPad2-16G WIFI version, does not retain any names and passwords anymore. Function (Safari) is enabled.

  • AP350 won't boot after IOS upgrade

    I have an AP350 and after I upgraded the IOS to 12.2.15-JA it won't boot. In monitor mode it tells me there are no bootable images available. I see the new image there. I was having issues with the authentication on this box. This was the reason to upgrade the box to begin with. Now I have more problems here. If anyone can help please I could use it. The old directory where 12.2.13-JA1 was in is not there and the new image is not in a directory either if that helps.

    Please read the attachment. It shows you how to recover IOS from bootstrap. Specifically, please go to "Using the MODE button" in "Reloading the Access Point Image"
    As a side note, you cannot use HTTP interface to upgrade IOS software starting 12.2(15)JA. Below is from release notes:
    TFTP Required to Upgrade 1200 Series Access Points to this Release
    Software upgrades fail when you use the web-browser interface to install Cisco IOS Release 12.2(15)JA on 1200 series access points. The image size exceeds the access point's 4-MB restriction for software upgrades. Use TFTP to upgrade your 1200 series access point to this release. For complete instructions on using TFTP to upgrade access point software, see the "Working with Software Images" section on page 20-18 in the Cisco IOS Software Configuration Guide for Cisco Aironet Access Points.
