Password won't save after iOS 6.1 update

I updated my iphone 5 to ios 6.1 and now imessage won't save my password. After the update, I kept being asked to enter my Apple ID password. Each time I would enter the password and 30 seconds later the dialog would pop up again. After entering it one time I quickly navigated to Settings and discovered that my AppleID password was missing from Messages. I entered it there and that stopped the dialog box from popping up.
Later I had to shut down and restart my phone so iTunes would recognize it. After it booted up the recurring Apple ID dialog box started popping up again.
How can I stop this from happening?

I'm unfortunately in exactly the same situation. Following update to 6.1 on my iPhone 5, I'm prompted every 10 seconds to enter my iTunes password if I re-enable iMessage logged in as my iTunes account rather than phone number.
I have not found a way to make it stop prompting so iMessage is currently not useable by me. This is quite frustrating, Apple's standards have been on a rapid decline for some time. I'm at the point now where I'm reluctant to install updates when they come out due to the frequent regressions such as this I've encountered.
If anyone has a solution, I'd love to know.

Email password won't save after Yahoo hack

Opened my Mail inbox and got the wonderful mass of "MAILER @DAEMON" messages. Translation:I got hacked. I haven't had any problems with this since I changed my Yahoo/ATT password to something more complex. Now I'm being hacked again, went in to my account on my iPhone and found that it had reverted to the former password. Entered the new password, got the check marks, but it won't save--it reverts to the old password. I've tried this multiple times, I've tried rebooting multiple times, deleting the account and restoring it multiple times. Now I'm finding that my iPad has the same problem. So I am totally without mobile email now, and like so many of you this just ain't an option.

I Have a similar problem but 9 different emails have been hacked along with my iPhone. I am now on my 3rd new iPhone as Apple thinks this is the issue (I wish). it has become so bad the police dept have become involved and are bringing in the local FBI office since email hacking is a felony and 9 different accts are involved. I do have a good idea of the suspect (s) sadly not who I expected. Someone said to change my phone number to make sure they did not have it and this would help. Think it would?

HT4623 Reminders won't work after iOS 6.1 update on iPhone 5?

I updated to the new iOS 6.1 update last night. Went to make a reminder through siri and i get to the point were it asks to confim. When I press confirm Siri tells me that she can't do it. I try to set a reminder manually and the app does not give me the option to add a reminder manually. Everything worked fine before the update when my iPhone 5 had the 6.0 iOS?
Any ideas on what the problem coulb be? Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

The problem is more than likely being cause by corruption that occured during the iOS install or in the backup that was used to restore the phone after the update.
Standard troubleshooting is:
Re-boot the phone
Restore the phone from your backup
Restore the phone as a new device.
One of the 3 should fix the problem.

Ipad won't sync after iOS 7.03 update: Other is huge and over capacity

When iOS7 was updated last week (7.0.3) the update went fine on my iphone 5s but was interupted on my iPad.
Now, when I connect the iPad via cable to my desktop Mac, it will not sync. It connects to the iPad just fine, but the "changes" cannot be applied because it shows that the amount of data to be transfered to the 64GB iPad is "Over Capactiy by 31.37GB." A total of 45.2GB of "Other" is indicated on the summary page in iTunes in a yellow band.
(A sync from the same ID, same iTunes library with the same settings, with the iPhone 5S of the same capacity (64GB) has NO trouble completing properly. It shows only 1.62 GB of "Other."
I have tried restoring the iPad from a previous back up. No good.
I have tried restoring the iPad to a new, factory issued condition, set it up as if it were a new iPad and tried to sync. No good.
I have changed the sync setting so that NO video or audio tracks are to be synced (freeing enough space for all of the bloated, "Other" category.) Stiill ends up stuck perpetually in Syncing iPad - Step 4 of 4 - "Waiting for changes to be applied"
Any suggestions?
SERIOUSLY frustrated.

I am having the exact same issue except with the iPhone 4s.
"Other" shows 34.88GB
I tried everything you did, short of factory reset, since I read elsewhere that won't work.

4S won't activate after iOS 5.1 update

Updated yesterday.
Update finished but my iphone 4s keeps asking me for configuration and won't activate.
I select the wireless network. Connection is fine. Even SIM unlock happens.
It says it is OK to use it now. I click on it and it returns back to configure screen again.
It is in a loop.
Configure-You can use it-Configure-You can use it-Configure and on and on.
I restored the iphone using iTunes but no lock. If I restore it from backup or icloud backup the situation is the same.
If I set it up as new iphone I can open it but this time I loose everything.
I have backups but I cannot use the phone if I install them.
This is really frustrating.
Can I get back to 5.01 somehow. I want to use my phone and I don't want to lose my data.
Any ideas?
Thank you.

The backup you have does matter (icloud or itunes. The moment you restore from it, you are in the loop. I don't know if Siri has anything to do with it or not but mine was off.
I talked to Apple for 50 minutes. We tried many things, no joy. The last words were that there were more people like us and if the number were enough Apple would develop and publish an update. What they suggested is to wait until the update is released, install the update and then make the restore from backup. It would work then.
Please call Apple and create a case. We need numbers.
I hope they take us seriously and correct this grave mistake as soon as possible.
For those who have iCloud backup, the following works:
Set the phone up as new device.
Go to Settings and iCloud.
Enter your iCloud account.
It will ask if you would like to merge.
If you say yes, you could at least get your contacts back.

Hi abidmomin,
Thanks for contributing to the Apple Support Communities.
It appears that after updating your iPhone to iOS 8.2, you're not able to connect to your Wi-Fi network.
I recommend starting with the tips in this article to troubleshoot the situation:

That is a new "feature" described in Connect your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch using Continuity
You can turn it off by going to Settings > FaceTime and changing "iPhone Cellular Calls" to off

IHome no longer works with iPhone 4s after iOS 6.1 update.

My iHome no longer works with iPhone 4s after iOS 6.1 update. Prompts message 'This accessory is not supported by iPhone'. Has anyone come accross this and is there a fix?

Ring up iHome and ask them for a fix... And if they cant supply you with a fix... Then you should be entitled to a replacement or a upgrade, as firmware upgrades on your ios device should not affect audio products......

Problems after iOS 6.0 update with iMessage and FaceTime

After iOS 6.0 update i had problems to used iMessage and FaceTime

Messages will almost send but stop right before completion. FaceTime will go through only after multiple attempts. After that iMessage will work for a little while. Have talked with folks at apple support but they did not have a solution. Have tried both closing out the programs as well as turning the iPod off and back on. Neither has solved the problem. Any suggestions would be great! Thanks for your help.

How do I get the contact photo to full screen size when receiving a call after iOs 7.1 update..?

how do Iget the contact photo to full screen size when receiving a call after iOs 7.1 update..?

I went to the link. I selected iPHONE. There was a big iPhone icon above the comment box -- so I was absolutely, positively on the right page. I spent five minutes or so crafting a constructive comment as to why I wanted the full photo feature back on incoming calls on iOS7. Then...i noticed the box below the comment area asked 'What operating system are you on?'. And the drop down selection list included every operating system since Job's garage days -- but not one single iOS entry. No iOS entries on an iphone page. Unless I'm missing something, I think anyone writing a feedback comment is wasting his/her time.
