Problem since ios 8.3 update. Please help
Hello everyone I'm new to here but I need help. I have had an iPhone since the original 2g and have always been happy as they have always worked and done what I needed. I even upgraded to the iPhone 6 128gb but found myself using my old 5s 64gb more and more so sold the iPhone 6 and was perfectly happy using the 5s. Then I updated to iOS 8.3. The fault I'm having is that I can no longer make Bluetooth calls. my phone connects to any Bluetooth device and even will play music and is controllable using said Bluetooth devices but when I make a call it goes silent, if I then press the audio key and select either iPhone or speaker the call is there. I have tried different devices all have the same problem. I have tried my wife's phone and it works perfectly on the same devices. I carried out a iTunes restore and set up as a new device, and still it didn't work. So then made and appointed with the Genius Bar at my nearest Apple Store which is over an hours drive away so drove up yesterday and tried to explain my issue but I felt that although the guy was very nice and friendly wasnt really interested or understood what my fault was. So he then carried out a restore using one of there macs and that should be ok now and have a nice day. I asked what would be my recourse if this didn't fix my fault and was told I would just have to buy a new device and then was offered a new contract. I have since tried my phone and still is the same. I drive a lot for work and need the phone to connect to my car kit. Can anyone help or advise. I am really disappointed in Apple with this.
For others who have this same problem, before using deggie's solution, which is more drastic since it will force you to lose all pairings and wi-fi passwords, first try this: On the iPhone go to Settings>Bluetooth, then forget your JBL pairing. Then with the JBL Flip, turn it on by hitting the power button once, then put it into pairing mode by holding the power button down until it flashes red and blue alternately. You should see the pairing established on you iPhone. If the iPhone asks for a pairing code (it may not), it is 0000.

IOS 5 software update - please help!
Hi
I opted to update my iPhone 4 last night to the IOS 5 software. I have had my iPhone for over a year with no problems including previous seamless software updates.
40 minutes into the update my iPhone gets turned off (as you would expect) and then gets restarted. A message appears saying "The SIM card inserted into this iPhone does not appear to be supported". The same message appears on my actual iPhone. I was advised to do a 'restore' to the original settings but because itunes will no longer accept the phone due the "non supported" SIM card I can't even access anything regarding the phone from the drop down menu.
ANY advise would be gratefully received.
ThanksIf you have an iPad 1, the max iOS is 5.1.1. For newer iPads, the current iOS is 6.0.1. For the iPad Mini the iOS is 6.0.2. The Settings>General>Software Update only appears if you have iOS 5.0 or higher currently installed.

http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4623
If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect the iPad to the computer, open iTunes. Then select the iPad under the Devices heading on the left, click on the Summary tab and then click on Check for Update.
Tip - If connected to your computer, you may need to disable your firewall and anitvirus software temporarily. Then download and install the iOS update. Be sure and backup your iPad before the iOS update. After you update an iPad (except iPad 1) to iOS 6.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).

Problems since ios 6 - software update
Hi - Just updated iphone 4s with latest software and when I go on to the "App Store" app I cn use the updates, search and featured tabs but when I press try to use the "Categories" or "Top 25" tab the phone tells me "Cannot connect to iTunes Store". Can anyone point me in the right direction please. Many thanks.
I had this Problem and Fixed it by Settings,General,Time & Date "Turn Off Set Automatically"
Click Set Date & Time and Set the Month to October.
Restart your iphone, when its back on open the Passbook App Click at the Bottom 'App Store"
When it opens Close the App Back to above Settings,General,Time & Date "Turn On Set Automatically"
Restart again and you should be able to use the App Store.
Worked for me so Good Luck -
Pantech Marauder - Problems After 4.1.2 Update - Please Help!
My Pantech Maruder has been working great until Verizon pushed out the 4.1.2 Jelly Bean update.
The problems I am having now, is that whenever I receive a text message, the alert sound no longer works. I have applied all the settings, tried new ring tones, etc,
The default browser is a mess. When I load Google News, it is no longer in mobile view, and I can not seem to fix it. Also, the back button does not work. It always takes you back to the Google home page.
These are just a few. Most of the time I have to turn the phone off more often that I did before the update, to get most of my apps to work.
Is there a way to go back to the previous version?
Thank you,
JimI don't think you can revert to the previous version. You said you turn the phone off and it gets better, briefly. Have you tried a system cache clear? This does work to clear some glitchy behavior on my Droid 4 running JB 4.1.2.
Power down phone
Hold volume up/down & power simultaneously until you see the Boot Mode Selection Menu
Use volume down to navigate to 'Recovery', use volume up to select
Should see screen with triangle and exclamation point next to an Android
Press volume up/down simultaneously to go into system recovery
Use volume rocker to navigate to 'wipe cache' and use power button to select
Once finished, use volume rocker to navigate to 'reboot system now' and use power button to select

IPhone is not working, incomplete iOS 6.01 update please help
I just did an update tot iOS 6.01, but now the iphone is competely dead, I just have connector icon, and nothig else. The question is, what to do
Try unplugging your iPhone, then restarting your computer and iTunes. Then plug your phone back in. This worked for me on the iPhone 5 and using a Windows 7 PC. I did have to wipe my device but I was then able to restore it using iCloud. I had the same issue updating my wife's iPhone 4s and did the same thing. It took hitting "restore" several times for it to finally work, but it eventually did. This is the second iOS update that hasn't worked as expected (the upgrade to iOS 6 deleted all my music and screwed up my music app/I had to restore several times to get it working correctly). I like Apple stuff, but what ever happend to "It just works?"

i need safari on my ipod i had it now it is gone and it is really annoying i cannot download some apps all because of an ios thing i would appreciate it if i could get ios 7 so someone please help me
You may have to consider, if possible, a visit to an Apple Store with Genius
bar. Usually it's best to try & set an appointment. If you know an actual Store
you may call and ask if they can help you set a time to discuss this issue so
as to save you some trouble with using the online Genius bar scheduling.

The iPod Touch you have may not accept the latest iOS8.x system, so if you
have older marginal Apps, they would not work and may not have equal or
similar replacements under the latest iOS version. iOS7 may not be available
and if you should upgrade to iOS8, you probably won't be able to revert back.
After looking around Support online, I do not see a method of restoring Safari
but your device may have one built-in to it; perhaps part of a reset process.
I am not certain... There are some items you may have to attach the Touch to
a computer and use it to see about updates or replacement software.
http://www.apple.com/support/contact/
To ask a knowledgeable product specialist, and have the iPod Touch model
and serial number handy, may be the best way to go. Expect that with any
upgrade to a newer iOS system software, old apps won't work and new ones
that could be available, may not look, feel or act in the same way as old ones.
Good luck & happy computing! -
All day calendar events not being displayed in the notification centre for iphone 5 post ios 7 upgrade. Please help. Is it a bug?
With iOS 6, the all day events showed up in the notification centre but it lacks in the upgrade iOS 7.Same problem here. Some people pointed out that all-day events do show up in their notification center, but that seems only to be the case for birthdays (and only as text like the weather). I've tried it myself on my iPhone and iPad and it did work for birthdays but not for any other all-day events. I already sent this to Apple as a product feedback as well, as should everyone of you. The more people mention it, the faster Apple's going to fix this issue. In its current state, notification center is not a very helpful feature in my opinion. There's absolutely no point in not showing all-day events in the 'today' calendar overview.
Here's a link to the product feedback page: http://www.apple.com/feedback/
I posted my message in the iPhone section since I couldn't find a page specifically dedicated to iOS 7.
I really love the look & feel of iOS 7 but it's kinda sad to see notification center not tapping its full potential.

cannot download apps to iPad since iOS 5.1 update. Get error message "An unexpected error has occurred"
Hi mike,
Seems like a frustrating problem! Try restarting your device, and trying again. If that doesn't work, in settings, under store, tap your apple id at the bottom of the page, and then sign out. Sign back in again, and try again.
Also, check you have enough remaining space on your iPad for the app you want to download, you can do this in settings, then general, then usage.
I also reccomend buying the app in iTunes on your computer, and then syncing it to your device.
Let me know how you get on, and I'll get back to you with further help if needed,

My I message is not working, since IOS 8.3 update.
My messages is not working properly, since IOS 8.3 update. Message are left hanging as undelivered. When I tap on "try again" nothing happens. Even messages to known contacts with I phones, appear in green and does not get delivered anyway. I have reset my i phone several times to no avail. I like my I phone 6+ as a camera. All other functions are less than impressive.

Additional things to try.
Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
Try This - Renew IP Address:
• Launch Settings app
• Tap on Wi-Fi
• Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
• In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

Any advise would be appreciated.I have the same problem. Sought to insert a pdf into Apple Mail after editing a form pdf and only the blank form shows.
