Painfully weak vibrate since upgrade to 5.1.1?
I have been missing calls and actually didn't wake up to my alarm because the vibration on my iPhone 4 has been so weak. Anyone else having this issue? Also, the upgrade did not seem to fix the battery life. Just wondering if I am an isolated case.
I am having the same problem and I am not very happy about it. Lots of missed calls, texts, reminders, alerts, etc. I have to keep my phone on vibrate at work and I cannot feel nor hear the vibration at all. The custom vibrations only pertain to phone calls from certain contacts - they cannot be assigned to text alerts or any other alerts. Hopefully Apple will put out an upgrade to allow customization of vibrate settings for everything. I feel your pain.

Macbook pro running painfully slowly since upgrade to Mavericks and worse since Yosemite
Hi, since upgrading to Mavericks my previously excellent 2011 Macbook Pro is running painfully slowly, and things have only got worse since the upgrade to Yosemite. It takes anything up to 10 minutes to get fully functional from opening the lid on standby, can take a good 5 minutes to connect to wifi, and I am getting stuck with constant spinning beach balls. I've cleaned things up, and deleted anything unnecessary so I have adequate space on the HDD but this doesn't seem to make any difference, and I'm not running any particularly memory hungry software. It was working perfectly before these upgrades and I'm really wishing I could just downgrade back to Mountain Lion now! I'm no expert so could really use some help. Do I just need more RAM or is this something more complicated?
I've run Etresoft and here are the results (I note there is some adware listed on Safari, but I don't use it ,using Chrome and Firefox instead):

What has happened to the iPad 2 finger select and drag technique?
Since upgrading to iOS7 it does not work?
I used this all the time to select multple images, approx 75 from an SD card containing 1000 images. Its painful indvidually selecting the imagesWhat would you like us to tell you? If it doesn't work, there is nothing that we users can do about it.
Please submit your feature request to Apple at this link: http://www.apple.com/feedback -
I upgraded my iMac to Mountain Lion and it has been painfully slow ever since. Any ideas on what might be happening and how to fix it?
First, back up all data immediately, as your boot drive might be failing.
There are a few other possible causes of generalized slow performance that you can rule out easily.
If you have many image or video files on the Desktop with preview icons, move them to another folder.
If applicable, uncheck all boxes in the iCloud preference pane.
Disconnect all non-essential wired peripherals and remove aftermarket expansion cards, if any.
Otherwise, take the steps below when you notice the slowdown.
Step 1
Launch the Activity Monitor application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Activity Monitor in the icon grid.
Select the CPU tab of the Activity Monitor window.
Select All Processes from the menu in the toolbar, if not already selected.
Click the heading of the % CPU column in the process table to sort the entries by CPU usage. You may have to click it twice to get the highest value at the top. What is it, and what is the process? Also post the values for % User, % System, and % Idle at the bottom of the window.
Select the System Memory tab. What values are shown in the bottom part of the window for Page outs and Swap used?
Next, select the Disk Activity tab. Post the approximate values shown for Reads in/sec and Writes out/sec (not Reads in and Writes out.)
Step 2
If you have more than one user account, you must be logged in as an administrator to carry out this step.
Launch the Console application in the same way you launched Activity Monitor. Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
Select the 50 or so most recent entries in the log. Copy them to the Clipboard (command-C). Paste into a reply to this message (command-V). You're looking for entries at the end of the log, not at the beginning.
When posting a log extract, be selective. Don't post more than is requested.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Important: Some personal information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting. That should be easy to do if your extract is not too long. -
Hi,
New to this forum and just got the Tour . I really like this phone except of the weak vibration. I can hardly tell when its vibrating. Some say their vibration is very strong while others have a very weak one like i do. Im always on vibrate and pocket the phone alot and its causing me to miss calls and messages.Im wondering if there is a fix or return it for a new one since im still on a replacement period. Also my signal keeps jumping from 4-5 bars to 1-2 bars all the time but i suspect an os upgrade could fix that unless im wrong. Wondering if anyone can tell me if there is a solution to the weak vibration on this phone.
Thank You, GI have the same problem with the signal strength bouncing all over the place, and the vibration being very weak. I'm confident that future OS's will address the signal issue, but I doubt much can be done about the vibration unfortunately

Problems since upgrading to Itunes 6.0.1.3
Ever since upgrading to Itunes 6.0.1.3, songs will not update to my Ipod. Called Tech Support twice on this and they suggested: Uninstalling/reinstalling Itunes (done three times so far); Reformatting the Ipod back to factory default (done twice); disabling anti-virus. NONE of this has worked. Also found out that Apple Tech Support is VERY weak on Itunes support. Songs show in my Library, but will not update to Ipod. Any suggestions?
Ever since upgrading to Itunes 6.0.1.3, songs will

that Apple Tech Support is VERY weak on Itunes
support. Songs show in my Library, but will not
update to Ipod. Any suggestions?
Found my solution after spending 1 hour/10 min on phone. Tech referred me to article 93716 (removing Itunes, Empty Temp Directory). I still had the same issue (not all songs updating). I checked Windows Explorer and the files that were NOT updating were located in backup folder I had created at some point during the two-week troubleshooting process. When I moved these folders into the Itunes directory, EVERYTHING started working again (creating playlists, burning CD's, moving music to my Ipod).
I learned that even though Itunes shows everything in your Library broken down by playlist, purchased music, etc.--they could be ANYWHERE on your hard drive. However, to update the Ipod, it appears they need to be in the Itunes directory.
I'm not sure why all this broke in the first place, but here is a list of the articles that I followed:
Article #93698, #32222, 93716. I also learned that the Apple Tech Lady, although very nice, could NOT tell me anything about the directory structure of Itunes, where the songs should be, or much about Itunes in general. -
So disappointed with IOS 6. I'm having weak wifi connection since upgrading to it. Can Apple do something about it? Can you at least reset it to IOS 5.1.1?
Sorry Jim for the wrong question because I'm getting frustated with my IPAD since I can't use it for surfing internet with a faster speed. Ipad was very convenient to use until this IOS 6 upgrade. Tried all the suggestions in the forums but still gets back to weak wifi connection.

Quite simply as described above. Upgraded to 7.0.2 this afternoon. All was fine until I restarted phone in a place where I know mobile coverage is weak. Since then I've been unable to connect to my mobile network, my sim card doesn't seem to be recognised by my iPhone 5 and I can't return to a previously reliable configuration because I can't switch off Find My iPhone from the device. Help!!
You can leave feedback for Apple at the link below regarding your displeasure with iOS 7

Hold "option" key down and click "Go" menu in the Finder menu bar.
Select "Library" from the dropdown.

Cant burn since upgrading to Lion
Hi ,
Since upgrading to Lion, my mac pro no longer burns dvds or cds,
any ideas? i've chnged the dvd burner, but i still get the same problem
please help?I have had that same problem, but it was unrelated to any upgrade.
In my case the optical drive was simply failing, and I replaced it - it was a Powerbook, about eight years old.
It is possible that it's unrelated to Lion, as unlikely as this may seem, since you've just upgraded.
Optical drives seem to be the most life-limited component in these computers. The laser just seems to get weak with age. -
Since upgrading to Lion on my iMac, I keep getting the following Pop up image error message. Translated in English it reads: The connexion to the server has failed. URL type files are not recognised.
Curiously enough, I upgraded my iBook with Lion also ... and I don't get this problem at all ! It does not cause any trouble, everything is working, BUT it is a Royal pain, as I have to click on OK twice to shut it down and it comes back up again every 10-15 minutes !! Can someone help ? Thank you.

Painfully slow internet after upgrading to Snow Leopard
hi all, i recently upgraded to Slow leopard.
My internet has soon become painfully slow, taking (literally) minutes to load pages. I have checked my modem & router, they seem to be fine as my iPhone & Vista laptop run perfectly on the same network.
does anybody know what this could be?If you have not done so since upgrading to Snow Leopard, you should run Disk Utility and use +Repair Disk Permissions+.
Have you used Software Update to apply Apple's latest updates after upgrading to Snow Leopard. If there are updates, you should run it a second time to ensure there were no dependent updates.
As a test, you can create a new admin user account in System Preferences Accounts pane.
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.6/en/8235.html
Log out and log in to the new account. Try the things that caused the problems. Is it fast in the new account, or is it the same? If it is fast, then the cause is likely to be in your normal user account. If it is the same, then the cause is likely to be with the overall system (the OS).
You can also try doing a Safe Mode startup
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1455
This will do some maintenance during startup and also load only Apple's essential system extensions and processes. Any third party software you have installed will not automatically run. Check the performance while in safe mode, and if there is improvement, restart normally to see if the problem comes back or not. -
Continous iTunes play problem since upgrade
Ever since upgrading to 7.5 a cd (commercial or custom) will play only 10 minutes or so before the applications stops responding.. quitting then beginning again is fine but---wotta pain...advice (Discs will however burn continuously?)
I usually rip my CDs and play them from playlists. That seems to work fine. Today I tried just playing a few discs directly, and iTunes consistently beachballs after about two tracks, requiring a force quit.
What's more, this problem exists on the three Macs in this room, two G4s running 10.4.11 and an Intel iMac running the latest Leopard. The common denominator seems to be iTunes 7.5.
I guess it's somewhat reassuring that I'm not the only one pulling my remaining hair out. -
Since upgrading to mavericks anything i connect via usb disconnects
since upgrading to mavericks anything i connect via usb disconnects randomly. everything from ipods, phones and usb thumb drives is there a patch or fix out there. starting to become a pain. PLEASE HELP
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 boot, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot 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 boot 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, reboot as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.
