Passcode is completely messed up after iOS5

I just installed iOS5 and phone worked fine for awhile.
Put it down, it logged out (after 4 mins) and now the passcode doesn't work to login. it doesn't work in iTunes either so i can't even restore.... phone is essentially bricked. I didn't change the passcode. I didn't touch the thing - but now i can't use the phone, i can't restore, nadda.

I did figure out the problem. I was quite worried that if I wiped it and started over that my encrypted backup would be irretrievable as well - thankfully this WAS NOT the case.
I "restored" - from previous save (it was a couple of days ago, so right-click on device and restore - i think, not at that computer now), went through the entire process, iphone booted up after some time and this time i left the passcode BLANK.
This time it worked fine - all data - SMS - intact - all photos - intact.
I then set passcode from the general settings tab in the iphone.
It worked perfectly, without losing anything. It was annoying, frustrating, but the obvious solution to "try again" worked without incident.

FRUSTRATING!!! Please help!!!

Hopefully Apple is trying to clean up this mess of an opperating system

Why do I keep getting problems with Apple not recognizing my email password? This suddenly started and just reminds me of the mess that mobileme was. Calendar dev also is not working. What a complete mess!

Can't access my email - endless messages saying password is wrong, which it is not. Mobileme all over again. I now need to forward all Apple mail to GMail, which is how an email system should work. Same is true with the calendar - a complete mess on the integration with my Google calendar.
This is really, really a pain!!

OK this is Cormacin Texas - these idiots have put me through the hoops, effectively locking me out of the support forum. Anyway I've solved the problem - it took 3.5 hours, involved a trip to the Genius bar at the local Apple store, and one and a half hours escalating through the dial-in help support - which was about the only thing the Genius was good for.
What you need to know is:
1. Apple are having problems with their servers, but have not published the fact - we've all wasted a lot of time because these guys want to keep their Customer Sat scores high, I guess. (I'm starting to feel like one of their Chinese factory workers!)
2. This server problem is compounded by the fact that it only affects a few random servers
3. It in turn can lead to problems sending emails which require you to change your Apple Mail password, and in my case surgically remove bad records for various hidden email and library folders. (Good luck with that!)
So, a problem that they hide, a knock-on set of work that the problem indirectly causes, which they also hide, and a support structure that is geared for hardware, not the services that they are now selling.
My suggestion is to change your mail password using the web (icloud.com) access to Mail and see if that works. After that, remove and reset up your Apple email (Preferences) and pray that you don't have to join endless telephone answering lines where some of the folks will cut you off because they can't be arsed.
The two guys that finally helped me were brilliant, knew their stuff and could not have done a better job. The key guy was Danny - if you get him, your golden!

Ipad1 is extremely, painfully slow after ios5 upgrade. Is there a fix?

Is there any fix for the awfully slow performance of iPad1 after ios5 upgrade? Mine is sometimes so slow it's impossible to use. Thanks

Mine is slower, but it's still useable. There is a update for battery draining due in a few weeks, though I don't know whether it will contain other fixes as well : http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-15570462
You could try closing all apps completely and then do a reset and see if that helps. To close all apps : from the home screen (i.e.not with any app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of each app to close them, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
To 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.
I've also seen a couple of posts recommending turning off iCloud (which I haven't tried yet).

Apps wont transfer after ios5.1.1 upgrade

apps wont transfer after ios5.1.1 upgrade. This upgrade has me pulling out my hair. the device is running very slow and apps wont transfer back into the ipad from my library. anyone else having this issue? what do i do about it? is it possible to roll back the OS? Thanks for any help with this matter. And a curse on whoever came up with this so called upgrade!!

If you are using the original iPad it is possible that this upgrade could slow down the iPad since that model just doesn't have the processor power er and speed of the iPad2 and the new iPad. Unfortunately, you cannot downgrade the iOS - officially.
Have you tried rebooting the iPad? Quitting all apps and restarting?
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
Quit the app completely and restart the iPad. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the task bar will appear with all of your recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar. Restart the iPad.
Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Make sure that you are signed into the correct account in - Settings>Store>Apple ID for the apps that will not sync. And are you sure that the apps are selected to sync in your iTunes sync preferences?

After ios5 update, iCal week view Oct 2-8 has 2 Saturdays?

Is anyone else having problems with iCal week view on iPad after ios5 update?
Two major changes have occurred...
1. Week view used to start on Monday, now Sunday (and can't change it back).
2. If you look at the week October 2-8, 2011 there are 2 Saturdays and no Friday or following Saturday...
Any ideas? Is this a wait for ios5.1 issue?
Cheers
Chris

If you are using a Mac, go to Settings>Software Update ... check for any updates, and update all.
Chances are you are not using iTunes 10.5, which is required to sync iOS 5.
If youare using a PC, suggest you uninstall your iTunes, download fresh iTunes 10.5 from Apple.com/itunes and install it.

No week view in iphone 4 after ios5

Hi, I thought the calendar should have new features after ios5 upgrade - in iphone the week view and in ipad the year view. However, I cannot see the week view in my iphone calendar. How do I turn on this feature?

That gives you Apples very ordinary 3 1/3 day view - if you want to see a whole week at a time you'll need something like the "week calendar" app

Hi Hal,
One possibility, is a strange occurence when applying the big 10.5.8 combo, most people have to Repair Permissions twice in a row, then reboot.

My music is completely messed up: many songs shortened to 3:01, many songs in different versions. Should I delete all and reimport all my purchases? Or is there a more elgant way of cleaning the media center?

I think you should just rebuild your library.
Clear it out, then drag all the song files back in. You'll lose your ratings and playcounts, etc but I don't see what else you can do.

Apps crashing after ios5 update.

I had upgraded iPad 2 to iOS 5.after this many of the third party apps crashes suddenly. To name some of them include , accuweather, toi.
I did deleted all the apps & freshly installed them after iOS5 upgrade. Is this bug in iOS5. Is there any fix?

I have the same issue. This is what I've tried so far and nothing has worked:
1. Downloaded a free app and installed it. I agreed to all of the App Store's new agreements.
2. Rebooted the iPad 2.
3. Logged-in to iTunes while connecting the iPad 2 to my PC.
The only semi-solution is to reinstall all third party apps manually(delete first, then go to the App store and re-install each indivdual App).
They should have found this big issue in beta.
Also, I noticed text looks a bit blurred on my iPad 2 now. When i type 2 lowercase "l"s next to each other, they appear as 2 "l"s.

Have 18g of other on 3gs after ios5 update. what is this and how do you get rid of it?

\Based on other forum users' posts, it seems like all you need to do is Restore the phone from your latest backup, and that should "refresh" your phone's appraisal of its data storage.

Macbook pro late 2011, completely messed up, everything I click it brings up beachball very slow, blue ray and hd unwatchable as it jerks. genius bar app didnt help at all, very disappointed, can some1 help me?

Macbook pro late 2011, completely messed up, a macbook pro of this year should not be operating like this, everything I click it brings up beachball very slow, blue ray and hd unwatchable as it jerks. genius bar app didnt help at all, very disappointed, can some1 help me?

You have a hardware problem. It is probably the hard drive is either to full, not enough free space, or it is starting to fail.
If you have an external drive connec that to the system and use the Recovery HD, Command + r keys at startup, to install a clean fresh copy of OS X Lion on the external then run the system from that. It will be slower but if you don't get the beachball then that is the sign your internal drive is on its way out or is filled up with files and not enough free space.
