Password prompt after iOS5 update...SOLVED!!!

Not sure if anyone is dealing with this but upon updating to the new iOS, a prompt box popped up in iTunes asking me to enter a password to access my backup files even though I never remembered setting one. So I tried my Apple ID, along with my usual passwords and nothing. I then tried my Windows user account password (as I'm on a PC), and...IT WORKED! Give it a shot...I've heard it works on Mac's too.

I eventually solved the problem although it took me another 24 hours. The issue is with the latest release of itunes. There is a check box under the Backup section to encrypt. I have never encypted any backup before so it seems like this a default on latest itunes. After I had worked out what the password was...It was just a generic one the I use for various applications I managed to restore my backup file. And it wasn't my Apple ID, not 0000 or 12345 or anything similar.
Problem then was that it tried to copy my backup file on top of the existing files, i.e. I had 28gb of hidden files that just showed up as OTHER on my iphone so couldn't actually restore my backup files as obviously there was no space left on the phone. I then had reset the iphone to factory settings and reinstall everything from scratch. Needless to say I have uncheecked the encrypt files ox on my itunes. I have warned everyone else I know who owns an iphone not to update their operating system until I can guide them through it.

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.

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

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.

After ios5 update, I am not getting any sound when I play music.

After ios5 update, I am not getting any sound when I play music (iphone speakers or headphones). I get sound from games, previewing songs in iTunes, etc. Any idea why? I've resynced and shut down my phone and that didnt help.
iPhone 4

Beer,
is that when you want to play music over the air (airplay) like BT headset or something?
because i am facing the below issue in my car.
the phone minimizes the volume of airplay and the ringing to 0 when connecting to a device (BT headset or car kit)
upon disconnecting, the ringing tone remains 0 and i miss all or most of my calls.

Time Machine multiple password prompts after 10.5.6 upgrade

Wanted to see if anybody else has noticed this behavior change since upgrading to 10.5.6. I back my MacBook Pro to a network drive shared from my Mac Mini. With 10.5.5 and earlier, I'd mount the network drive, and then set Time Machine to use it. I'd get one password prompt, for the initial mount of the network drive.
Post-10.5.6, I mount the network drive (password prompt #1), and then tell Time Machine to use that drive, and I get another password prompt from Time Machine. I'm not sure why this is, and it seems like a behavior change. Has anybody else noticed these double password prompts after going to 10.5.6?
--Bernie

I have the exact same problem since upgrading to 10.5.6. The time machine arrows start spinning, and then stop with the exclamation point. I look at the dropdown and it says "Latest Backup: Delayed"
When I open Time Machine Preferences, it tells me I have 32.2 GB of 232.7 GB available. And in latest backup, it says "Failed" with the little "i" in the circle. When I click the "i" it tells me "The backup volume could not be mounted."
When I actually look at the contents of the drive (which definitely is mounted) I see a 200GB file (the correct size) named [name of my computer]_[some serial number].sparsebundle. The stuff in brackets is replaced since I don't know if that's the sort of thing that I should post.
What seems odd (although I haven't looked at the volume enough in the past to know if it is odd), is that both the modified date and the creation date are March 27, 2008 which, I believe, is when I first started using time machine.
The only other thing on that drive is a folder, "untitled folder"
That's it. I'm not sure about whether it's trying to backup when not connected, but I think I remember that.
Do these specifics fit with what you can see about the current state of your backup?

After iOS5 update apps blink and don't open and music content is gone and won't sync onto iPod

After iOS5 update apps blink and don't open after trying to select them, and the music content was completely gone! Help!

See the following:
I updated my ipad 2 to ios5 and now apps won't open they just blink. What should i do?
Just updated iphone4 to ios5, now apps won't open, they blink once but won't run
When you look at the storage usage of the iPod in iTunes (the colored bargraph) , how much is in the "other" category? If very large yu will have to restore you riPod to get it down to is normal less than about 1/2 GB.

Apps are missing after ios5 update

after ios5 update on ipad2 all my apps are missing, how do i get them back?

Disconnected from what? the computer? Did you connect to the computer again, launch iTunes and then do as I described above?
You have selected all of the apps to sync - put checkmarks in all of the boxes next to the app names and have the Sync Apps heading checked as well?
Do you have restrictions set on the iPad? Settings>General>Restrictions>On?
Are you signed into the correct iTunes account on the iPad and the computer?

Photo issue on iPhone 4 after iOS5 update

Since i have updated my White iPhone 4 to iOS5 some of my apps pictures dont appear just the text underneath them. I thought nothing of this at first as after a while they do appear but then others will dissapear!
I tried to use the camera and i can take pictures but if i try to load the camera roll from either the camera app or photos app it will not allow me to view them. In the camera app the photos are also black.
Any assistance would be much appreciated!
Thanks
Steve

I´ve got the exact same problem as well. Via photo stream I can get my pictures to my computer and my iPad and they look fine. And in the iPhone they look ok if I choose "Edit", but the previews are low res or just grey boxes, or duplicates of other images.
Via photo stream I can copy the images to my computer to save them. But since movies don´t go into photo stream, and I cant see anything on my Iphone via iPhoto or "Image capture" they will be lost if Apple doesn´t solve this problem (I´ve succeded to e-mail them to me, but then they are compressed and lores).
This happened to me a couple of days after I updated to iOS5, so it worked just fine for a couple of days before this problem appeared.
I really hope Apple will address this issue very soon, since I (and many with me) use my iPhone as my only camera.
I´ve got an iPhone 4 (my wifes iPhone 3GS has not yet shown any signs of this problem).

After ios5 update My Ipod keeps crashing, and the internet stops but shows wifi sign

Well, this all happened after the Ios5 update to my ipod touch 4th gen. The problems are that when im using my wifi, it just stops as if im not getting any reception, but it still shows the wifi sign on the top left corner. A temporary fix for this is to go to settings and put my ipod on airplane mode off and on to get it to work for like 5 minutes. Its really annoying when watching videos or on facebook, etc. The second problem that I've been having is that certain apps keep crashing on me, one that does it the most is safari, it seems to crash all the time for me and now my facebook, news apps, among others all seem to crash. I dont know if this is a problem with the update, but it sure seems like it. Is there any way to fix this?

After iOS5 update ring tone volume go to zero when connect to VW Passat 2011 car kit

My iPhone 4 worked greatly before iOS5 update, after that every time it'll connect to RNS315 bluetooth interface ringtone volume go to zero and i've to re-set manually to the right volume. Re-paired but no changes.
Any ideas?

Well, visited my VW dealer and they said no updates for my car based upon the VIN/Reg and whats more there is no way this is a VW issue. Something in the iO5 5 bluetooth area has changes for the worse to force this to happen. THis is an Apple issue not a VW one and they should resolve, hoped that the 5.01 would fix, but no. Come on Apple sort this problem out.

Password prompt after screen saver or lock screen

I am running Yosemite on two Macs – an early-2008 MBP 15" and a mid-2010 MBP 13". Both are configured for password after screen saver or when waking up. I have hot corners configured to enable screen saver (lower left), lock screen (upper right), disable screen saver (lower right). On awakening from either screen saver or lock screen, the 15" requests the password in a screen similar to the login after boot or switch user screen – the fullscreen, blurry background, prompt in the center. The 13" prompts for a password in an ordinary modal dialogue window that includes a lock icon and displays on a black background. The 13" has an external monitor attached, but the behavior is the same if it's disconnected. Both systems have one user, and identical settings in Users and Groups. The behavior is the same whether the Guest user is enabled or disabled.
I can't find any settings to account for the difference, even obscure ones shown in Onyx. Any ideas as to why the password prompt is handled differently in these two cases? Thanks in advance...

Calendar is not synching after ios5 update

I use the iphone configuration utility to transfer settings to blank/new iphones (i'm an administrator) and this is how I apply our calendar settings including server paths etc to synchronise the calendar over the internet. Since updating to ios5 this has not worked and, in most cases, the calendar has just gone. Reinstalling the settings has not helped and it still refuses tow ork, if it makes a difference we are currently using SOGo as the calendar server program.

Outlook password prompt after CU7 installation

Hi
I have Exchange 2013 in a resource forest. We use linked mailboxes.
The clients are connecting using Outlook Anywhere.
As Authentication we use NTLM.
This Weekend I installed CU7. This morning all users received a passwort prompt when starting outlook. After entering the password, Outlook can be closed and restarted again without a password prompt. But after a reboot of the client, the password prompt
comes again.
Any Suggestion?
Regards
Peter

Hi Peter,
I have never seen CU7 removed WindowsIntegrated authentication from AutoDiscover VD before, maybe some other reasons cause this. Great information. Thanks for your generous sharing : )
