Please Help!! Very Frustrated with IOS 7 Issues

First of all I couldnt sign in to imessage after updating to ios 7.  Error said "check your network connection and try again".  Course my network connection was fine and I signed in with my appleid to everything else required such as icloud just fine.  Then in troubleshooting I saw that I had to have location services enabled and Date and Time set to automatically.  So I enabled location services and Date and Time is stuck with the spinning wheel "spinning".  Imessage wont let me sign in correctly until I get this Date and Time to set automatically.  Its been spinning for the last 30 minutes so obviously it is not going to work.
I have gone as far as to Erase all Content and that still did not fix the issue.  I chose restore from the backup I had.  Next step would be to reset and select set up as new but darn that would take a long time.  Can anybody suggest anything else that I could do.  Probably not but I am on the verge of trashing this Ipad 4 and going back to my ipad 2 which I have not updated yet and works fine.

iMessage, Facetime and the iPad app store have all had issues lately
No idea if it's iOS7 related or if it's something on Apple's end, or it could just be too much bandwidth still being used to update devices and it's affecting other services.

    the apps we have downloaded are not working,  please help,  extremely frustrated with our ipod 4

    See my previous reply for for the apps closing.
    For the wifi problem:
    Does the iOS device connect to other networks?
    Does the iOS device see the network?
    Any error messages?
    Do other devices now connect?
    Did the iOS device connect OK before?
    Try the following to rule out a software problem:                 
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Power off and then back on your router
    .- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings

    - Wi-Fi: Unable to connect to an 802.11n Wi-Fi network       
    - iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
    - Restore from backup. See:
    iOS: How to back up
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    If still problem make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • Activation problems with Cingular. Please help very frustrated

    Ok, here is the deal, I live in Orlando, FL most of the time, but I am in Michigan and I bougt 2 iphones today, that was 1000 bucks, plus 200 in security deposits. I went to cingular, payed the deposit, and now that im at home, i cant register the product. I have been on the phone with cingular suppost getting different reasons why i cant answer but i still want to check it out here. Im getting an address verification problem. The guy is saying that when we payed the sucurity deposit, we put our florida market address on file with the Pre Approved Credit Check Number. THere saying our sim cards are michigan sim cards, and its not letting me register because of the sim cards are not in the same market as the credit check number. I tunes keeps giving me an error of address though. Is anyone receiving this same problem? The error is saying that they cannot verify the address on file, as the address that im typing in, even though it is the same address. We tried changing everything to michigan, and still got the same problem. We changed the address on the credit check number, and the address that im trying to register in michigan.
    Please Help
    Rodd,
    Thanks guys
    You can only imagine that im upset not being able to even power the thing up. It wont let you go past the emergency call feature since its not activated.
    *****

    Heres what you have to do Rodd...I used to be a RSM for Cingular.
    First you need to cancel your first activation because your sim cards have been set up with activation in Michigan you will get a Michigan area code, prefix, etc. If you did not set it up with the exact are that you paid the deposit in, then you will not be able to activate it.
    Ex: if I live in Texas, but want a California number, I have to go to Cali and set up my account, and then come back to Texas and I will have my Cali number while living in Texas.
    If you tried to set it up wrong to many times it flags your account.
    Either go back to the store you got them in and pay the security deposit again, or go to the closest ATT store in the area you would like to have your area code, prefix, etc. in.
    Example: if you want a Michigan number, then go to Michigan..and set up your account all in the same place that you want your number....Billing addresses can be different but the activation address will be where the iPhone number is given from.
    Hope this helps..God bless

  • After interrupting iPhotos import to mac from iPhone, it is not allowing me to shut down computer as it says 'Importing photos from library' i also cannot import photos from phone! Please help, VERY frustrating. Thanks.

    After recently purchasing a mac i decided to upload my photos from my iPhone to iPhoto. I accidentally disconnected the charger and now whenever i click 'import photos' it tells me that iPhoto is 'importing photos to library' which i can tell you it is not. because the phone is not connected and it has been doing it for days now.i tried to force quit and it hasn't work. It won't let me shut the computer down now either as it thinks it is currently importing something so i have to wait for the computers battery to die which is ridiculous. Becoming increasingly frustrated with this problem and not sure where else to turn. Please help. Thanks, Neil.

    If the  ➙ Force Quit method won't let you shutdown iPhoto try this command in the Terminal:
    killall iPhoto
    followed by the Return or Enter key
    It might take more than one go for it to take.
    Failing that close all other applications and hold the power button down until the computer shuts down.  Reboot and try iPhoto again.

  • Please Help, Very Frustrated - iPhoto 11  & Canon Raw(.cr2) files

    I recently started shooting raw(.cr2) with Canon 6D (on the list), while on vacation of course.... while there I loaded all my images to my Ipad to save room, due to only having my 16gb memory card with me, yesterday I decided to take them off the ipad and store them in iPhoto where all my work is stored and back it up to my external harddrive,  I have tried for 4 hoursto figure out why it won't upload to iPhoto 11, nothing works, it acts as if its uploading and then after 30 mins it says unrecognizable format(see screen capture below).
    I have read several other different forums and similar questions all the way back to 2005 and nothing seems to help, I tried making a smart album, updating the software, but iPhoto will not recognize the pics.  I did find one forum that said use Image Capture and do it that way, It worked to move them off the ipad but only to my extrenal hard drive with no image preview, saying it cannot open the file, all I eally want to do is have them load like all my other images into iPhoto which I use almost everyday and not have to go back to shooting jpeg along...PLEASE HELP any suggestions??

    Thanks everyone...I tried and even downloaded the specific software released from Canon specific for Mac for my camera a Canon 6D... Nothing worked... IPhoto never would recognize the images.... 
    BUT .....  in case someone else has this problem... I had to jump through hoops to figure it out... but finally with the help of several forums on here... I figured out a way to save my images and have them in a jpeg format to save for my memory folder for my daughter....so I did figure out a way to make it work...
    If you transfer for images from camera(in raw format .cr2) to your ipad...... and cannot load them to iphoto like me....here is how to do it....
    1. I searched my Mac, it comes with a software installed called "Image Capture" find it and load your pictures on
              your ipad to a folder on your desktop for easy finding.
    2. Search Google and Download Program Called Rawker....
    3.  Open Rawker... go to File
                                  a.  Select Batch - Select source Location - Select your file you saved your images in
                                  b.  Select File Batch - Select Source Destination - either make a file on your desktop or
                                            select where you want your newly converted RAW/jpeg images to be placed
                                  c. Select File batch and Start Batch...
    4. After its done with the convert -  you can import that new .jpeg folder of images to your iphoto
    Bunch of crazy circles because I was told it was better to shoot in Raw .cr2 ... NOT ... It might be if you have the right program but I guess none of the ones I tried worked....
    Until I find a better way I will just go back to shooting in jpeg fine.
    Thanks again Everyone

  • Please help, very frustrated how to keep quality

    ok my question is a concern i have with HD video. My goal is to import the footage into FCE, edit and then finish the project and burn to a DVD with or as close to the same quality i shot in.
    I shot HD footage using an HVX200 on a p2 card. The settings were 720p 24fps 16:9.
    the method of burning i was taught was to export the FCP session as a quiktime then use IDVD to burn.
    Some issues i have had in the past is stretched picture,bad quality too compressed.
    I just want to see if there are anyways that worked for you guys i can go by. Thank you so much for your help, first time poster long time reader.

    Hey thank you very much for the reply. I was alittle lost in that thread because it went to talking about putting the file on a USB then to HDMI etc. I got lost cuz that's not really what i am asking.
    The one part i get is that you can't burn HD because there is no such thing as HD DVD.
    What i am asking is to keep as close as i can, is there anything i should know before importing my footage info FC like session settings etc and what are the settings i should use when exporting to quick time. Actually maybe i should mention the purpose and how the video will be used. I will be using it for high quality facebook video, and high quality youtube.
    My main goal is to have it 16:9 without it looking stretched just fitting to whatever it's being viewed on?

  • Very Frustrated with Leopard Incompatibility Issue

    We, as a school, decided to go with a Mac lab in our art room and of course Leopard is the OS that came with it. Only to find out that several of our programs that we used, that is labeled OS X compatible, is NOT Leopard 10.5 compatible...geesh and yet Apple is bashing Vista for compatibility problems. Before they go busting on Windows they need to fix their own problems, sorry...
    <Edited by Moderator>
    I know Vista has major bugs too and this is NOT a pro Vista comment...it was more of a look in the mirror first.

    As I suppose you well know by now, an "OS X compatible" label on a software box does not tell the whole story. It has always been so & always will be. No OS can maintain backwards compatibility indefinitely & at the same time move forward without collecting baggage that stifles innovation. Eventually, it becomes too costly, both in development effort & in performance penalties, to maintain all the API's to support the old OS version.
    Actually, that is exactly what is wrong with Vista: Microsoft last "pruned" the OS of support for legacy technologies so long ago that the only way to make Vista a modern, speedy OS was to remove support for just about everything non-essential to get it to run at all. It is like an airplane prototype that included so many extra parts that it was too heavy to get off the ground, so the designers just kept removing things until it did.
    Apple's more gradual approach (even though "OS 9 is dead," Tiger still supports Classic) is still a little painful for Mac users but nowhere near what PC users are experiencing.
    In this sense, the ads are right: Vista is just Microsloth's latest effort to play catch-up with issues Apple long ago planned for & dealt with much more effectively.

    No, I wouldn't.  At worst, I might sigh, then start troubleshooting the issue.
    This is a technical support forum, not an emotional support forum.
    What troubleshooting steps have you tried?
    Here are some:
    Basic Troubleshooting Steps when all else fails
    - Quit the App by opening multi-tasking bar, and swiping the App upward to make it disappear.  (For iOS 6, holding down the icon for the App for about 3-5 seconds, and then tap the red circle with the white minus sign.)
    - Relaunch the App and try again.
    - Restart the device. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
    - Reset the device. (Same article as above.)
    - Reset All Settings (Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings)
    - Restore from backup. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766 (If you don't have a backup, make one now, then skip to the next step.)
    - Restore as new device. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4137  For this step, do not re-download ANYTHING, and do not sign into your Apple ID.
    - Test the issue after each step.  If the last one does not resolve the issue, it is likely a hardware problem.
