Problems since phone restore and upgrade to 3.1.2

On Thursday I restored my phone to factory settings due to calendar problems when syncing with MobileMe. I set the phone up as a new phone after installing 3.1.2 and the calendar issue resolved. But, since then, I can't get mail from my Exchange server at work and my other e-mail accounts, with the exception of MobileMe, work intermittently and pretty much only if I'm connected to WiFi. The phone doesn't recognize my home WiFi network anymore and I have to enter the password several times in order to connect -- it finally connects after that. Everything else is connecting to my WiFi just fine. Most annoying, however, is that the battery is draining like crazy. I haven't increased or changed the way I use my phone in the last two days -- in fact, I've only made one call and received two others. I've sent a few texts, but no more than usual, and have tried to check e-mail with no to poor results, as I've said. I'm needing to recharge twice daily with little to no use of the phone. The phone is approaching 2 years old -- is the battery simply dying and this exacerbated the problem?? I treat the phone well -- no drops or accidents with it and no such problems until I did the restore. It seems like others have had some problems since 3.1.2, so is that the problem??

I went to the Apple store today and worked with a Genius on these problems. We're still in a diagnostic mode -- they were able to detect that the battery was going down more quickly but no clue as to why. They suggested restoring the phone one more time and then adding in one app at a time to see if an app is causing the problem, but they don't believe it's related to 3.1.2. Right now, my phone has nothing on it except for MobileMe and it seems to be holding a charge. It's still draining a bit more quickly than it did before 3.1.2 but as I add in more apps, I'll be able to determine what's causing the issues. Frustrating!

I restore and upgrade my Second Hand iPhone 4s and unfortunately the Find My iphone is ON. Is there a way to Activate it since I cannot contact the previous owner?

I bought an Ipad 4 for my wife and iPad Air 2 for my daughter and I have just bought a Macbook Pro with retina display for me. The whole family is an Apple products fan due to its reliability and security. Never know that it could be a disadvantage also. I bought a second hand iPhone 4s from a friend as he is short in caash, and I've been using it for awhile. I "restore and upgrade it" without thinking or checking the Find my iPhone settings, unfortuately it is turned ON. Although the previous owner removed the phone lock, I never asked for his icloud account as I intend to use the phone only for calling. I cannot contact him as his contacts and email address were erased when I restore the iPhone.
I have learned a hard lesson since Apple security is impregnable, my iPhone 4S will just be an expensive paper weight.

no.
without the previous owners credentials the phone is useless to you.

I dropped the phone, but not light ! I tried to start it with the restoration and upgrading but I do not , what can I do

I dropped the phone, but not light ! I tried to start it with the restoration and upgrading but I do not , what can I do ?

If you dropped the device and cannot get it to start up, then you have probably damaged it to the point it needs to be looked at by Apple or your Authorized Apple Service Provider, whomever handles service in your location. User damage is not covered under warranty, so be prepared to pay.

I have no idea why this has happend ive been using the phone for 2years bought it on pay as you go and now all of a sudden its stating the above error i have never come across this problem before and currently im using 3GS and Iphone 4S

Sounds like it's been blacklisted.
Even if it hasn't, downgrading voids any warranty and forfeits all rights to support. You hacked your phone. You can't get help here.

Iphone 4 went into recovery mode when trying to restore, only option available now is to "restore and update" however this will not work, how can you restore from a backup once in recovery mode and only option is "restore and upgrade"? Please help!

iPhone 4 went into recovery mode when trying to restore it. Now the only option iTunes allows is for "restore & upgrade", it is not offer an option to restore from a backup, says that must first do the upgrade, when attempting to do the upgrade the iPhone won't accept it.
How can I restore from a back up in recovery mode when the only option is "restore and upgrade"?
Please help.

You don't you must restore your phone first and then you will have the option to restore from your backup.

HT1688 I can not restore and upgrade my Iphone 4. When i plug in to computer itune's restore and check for update buttons are not active.

I can not restore and upgrade my Iphone 4. When i plug in to computer itune's restore and check for update buttons are not active. What is that mean?

Razmee,
Guess what? After posting, I read another thread on this topic where someone said they went to an Apple store and the tech person there added the optional username and password in the Outgoing Mail Server boxes, and then reset the phone again. Although I had tried resetting and restarting a few times today, I had NOT reset it after entering the username and password into the optional fields.
When I entered my username and password into the optional fields, the iPhone entered checks (ticks) to the right of every entry; it had not done this earlier. (I didn't reset at this time, and the outgoing mail would still not transmit).
So just now, I reset it and the outgoing email was sent!
Thanks to you and this forum, it's a great ending to a few frustrating days.
I hope this message helps others. Not only does everything have to be entered correctly in the respective boxes; but once everything is entered and you press the "Done" button, every box should then have a check mark next to it and then you must reset the phone.

I'm having all kinds of problems since loading Lion and I really wish I hadn't bought it yet. Even after the software update today, 1. my modem still won't work, 2. Photoshop Elements produces muddy photo prints, etc. Anybody at Apple listening?

I'm having all kinds of problems since loading Lion and I really wish I hadn't bought it yet. Even after the software update today, 1. my modem still won't work, 2. Photoshop Elements produces muddy photo prints, 3. View preferences in windows don't hold, etc. Anybody at Apple listening? Anybody else out there having these kinds of problems?

10.7 was horrible unstable so I waited until 10.7.1 and tried it again. Well I have to say that it is still a defective OS. I am reverting to Snow as we speak from my carbon clone copy.. This is really the worst OSX I have ever used. It gives me random Kernel panics for no reasons, unstable airport and hundreds of small issues that are just not necessary. For instance I can't use QuickTime in Lion to trim a videoclip ( the UI goes mad and the trimslider becomes inoperable and hangs the Player window ) while in Snow it is no problem. Itunes gives me crackling sound when the equalizer is turned on, Graphical glitches in Photoshop, games crashing, Preview.app not working with some pdfs, so I need Adobes reader which I never used before.. It is definately not ripe for mass usage. Might 10.7.2 or 10.7.3 fix it, but not yet.
* and just for the records : the hardware is absoltely ok. Because in Snow it works as it should. ( So many Lion fanbois are talking : "your Ram is defect", defintely NOT. - Lion is defect! ).
Shame on you Apple.

If you restored from a backup, the backup may be corrupted.

Problem since lollipop, headset and "smart" flip cover

Hi,
Have some problem since upgrading to lollipop. First it was the headset that didnt wanna connect, but solved it with a factory reset on both the headset and telephone. But i still has a problem with the flip cover, guessing that with the update the config for smart connect (or NFC) was resetted. Now the problem is that the flip cover is glued with a sticker on the phone so i cant get it of to try and reconnect it.
The problem is that it does not longer interact with the phone e.g. when the flip cover is closed the phone screen would normaly ajust to the little screen on the cover but it doesnt, it just shows regular background.
Does anyone know a smart way to fix this?

I own the SCR24 smart style cover for my Z3 dual and indeed it's fixd to the back side of phone by sticker, but from my own experience you can carefully remove the cover by pulling it off slowly from the phone, and the sticker will be still functional to be glued again to the phone.
So what I suggest is: try removing the cover, reconnect it to your phone via NFC tag, then re-attach it to the phone.
Let me know if you tried this successfully.

Apple Teal iMac (1998) restore and upgrade opts?

I found this 1998 Teal Original iMac
This is what it came with:
Claris Works 5.0 (with 2 manuals as well)
iOmegaware 6.x software and books
Faxstf 5.0 book and software
MacDraw Pro book/manual
Quicken for Macintosh 98 softare with manual/guide
The iMac Book
Easy iMac book (color guide for the OS)
Cliff Notes "Using Your First Mac"
FileMaker Pro users guide
Claris Filemaker II manual
Belkin 4 port USB hub (I needed one of those too!)
Install and restore disc Version OS 8.1
William Sonoma Good Cooking disc (it's all recipes!! Perfect for me)
Quicken Deluxe 98 Software
MDK (some kind of game)
Kai's Photosoap/Photoshop disc and programs
It also came with the owners personal notes and records of items and books purchased. It also has a nice recipe collection from the 82 yr retired county school worker how owned this before me. She seemed like a very sweet lady, all her stuff is still on it. She was very involved it seems with her church and her family. It was just an added bonus for me. I found reading her letters sweet. I might contact her famliy or church and make them a book of her recipes. The computer was acquired via an estate sale right after Christmas and I bought it yesterday for $75 bucks. I've done a little reading online and I have read I can do various updates to it.
My question is what is the max you can add to this? I have heard various answers for which OS you can actually put on it.
This one comes with OS 8.1 and I have the restore and install disc.

This is a tray loading iMac. They came out in the from '98 to '00. You can run Mac OS 10.3 on the machine. With a little xpostfacto hac, you will bee able to run 10.4. You can add a maximum of 512meg of memory. Apple will say 256meg.
The screen tends to go bad on these machine. The harddrive is past do for replacement.
This could be the original iMac g3. It is the right color. Could be a colletors item.
Look for the system profiler. Click on the apple icon in the tope left. Look for about this mac> more info. Or, look for system profiler. This will give yu more details abou the mac.
it does have a 10/100 ethernet port.

Mac OS 9
Classilla is a free, open source browser for Mac OS 9
classilla.org
You may run Mac OS 10.3 on this machine. Mac OS X takes about 4gig. You can trim it down to 3gig with a custom install.
This will require a minimum of 128meg of ram. More is better. I'd suggest 256. You may put 512meg of ram in this machine. There are two memory slots. One must be Low Profile memory. Be sure you can return your memory cards. iMac memory cards are finicky.

You should verify that you have the latest firmware, before installing new software. See the system profiler for details. What firmware do you need?

While this article deals with adding memory, you should see the pram battery on the logic board when you get to step 17.

How To Upgrade Your iMac
http://www.djonmac.com/
The tray loading iMac requires the boot partition to be within 8gig. Since there are hidden partitions before the first visible partition, people recommend that you make the first visible partition 7.5 gig to 7.9gig. The machines support upto a 128gig Parallel ATA drive.
You should be able to use Unix symbolic links to 'move' some directory like /Users to the second visible partition.

.mac problems since 10.4.8 upgrade?

Ever since upgrading to 10.4.8, I have to constantly reenter my .mac password to receive mail. I'll notice my mail icon bouncing, and when I check it, I get the message that I my password for .mac mail has been rejected and I must reenter it. I do so, add it to my keychain, and it works for awhile. Then for unknown reasons, same message, etc. It's getting really old. I'm curious how many others are having this same experience. I'm about ready to do a warranty "chat" with Apple and officially report the problem, since they don't seem to be doing anything about it.

Hi, John.
1. You wrote: "They don't mention it as related to the 10.4.8 upgrade, but I did not have the problem before that."True. It could be a bug in the Update, it could be a bug in .Mac mail at Apple's end (mail server or other network issues), it could be both. If I were a betting man, I'd probably put a couple of bucks on the latter.
The 10.4.8 Update has been available since 26 September 2006. Their workaround document is dated 6 October 2006, which probably means they were aware of the problem at least on 6 October, but it could also have been a tad earlier and, after trying some fixes, they decided to publish the workaround document while they continue to troubleshoot the issue.
When did you install the 10.4.8 Update?
2. You could check the .Mac Discussion to see if there were a raft of posts about the problem within the days immediately following 26 September that also note the problem not occurring before installing 10.4.8.
3. If it's a major problem — e.g. it's costing you a couple of hours of productivity — you could try a downgrade install to 10.4.7, which would also take a couple of hours. Frankly, I'd say a downgrade would be overkill at the moment, given that Apple's .Mac folks appear to be on the case, but it is an option.
Downgrade installs can be very dodgy. Apple does not recommend them, as they note in the "About 'Downgrade' installations" section at the end of "Mac OS X: Troubleshooting installation and software updates." Additional information about why downgrade installs are problematic can be found in "Applications don't work after reinstalling Mac OS X."
If you want to try a downgrade install to 10.4.7 from 10.4.8, you can see my "General advice on performing an Archive and Install" FAQ. In step (4b), install the Mac OS X 10.4.7 Combo Update, then follow the rest of the steps. Note that:• Downgrade installs are performed at your own risk. While the downgrade method outlined above has worked for many, Apple does not recommend downgrade installations and one cannot account for how variances between individual users' systems may affect the outcome. Again, use at your own risk: you break it, you fix it.
• I would only test third-party applications in Step 5 as Apple apps are likely to run into the issues with the Previous Systems folder noted in "Applications don't work after reinstalling Mac OS X."
• Apple apps should be safe to test after Step 6, but you may still run into problems due to 10.4.8-related changes in preferences files in your Home > Library > Preferences folder. Discarding the preferences files for Apple applications that are problematic after a downgrade install may solve the problem with those applications.Finally, before installing future software updates, you may wish to consider the advice in my "Installing Software Updates" FAQ. Taking the steps therein before installing an update often helps avert problems and gives you a fallback position in case trouble arises.
Good luck!

My phone restored and lost all my most recent photos and other information. How can I get it back !?

Yesterday my phone restored itself. Using a backup that was made a month ago I had no way to stop other than to unplug the phone. Which wipped the phone completely and then when I plugged it back in all it would do is use the old backup again. So I have lost all the photos, messages and everything else that I have made in the last month. Which as this is a business phone is not exactly helpful. Is there any way to get all these things back or are they gone forever?? Thanks for the help

What do you mean it "restored itself". It can't do that. User interaction is required to initiate that.
Did you not have a recent backup of it? If not, then the data is gone.

Sound output device problem since 10.6.2 upgrade...

wHey, I've had a look through some other forums and have found solutions and so on to this problem, which is basically this:
Since the 10.6.2 Upgrade my sound output device changed from 'Headphones' to 'Soundflower (2ch)'...The three options are as follows on Sound preferences through System Prefs...
Headphones
Sondflower (2ch)
Soundflower (16ch)
I use external speakers, so headphones is important to me, but everytime I change it back to headphones, the next time I restart the computer it switches back to Soundflower (2ch) ... It's only on my user account as all other accounts are fine, I've reinstalled OS X already, and have even since this problem started, bought a new iMac (no, not just cause of the problem lol)... Done a timemachine restore, yet the same is happening on the new iMac, and it's driving me nuts... I've called Apple Support they suggested reinstalling OS X, I've done just that, but it's still doing it... There must be something I have installed...Any help?
I'm hoping someone has some sort of Terminal code to switch it to set to 'Headphones' as DEFAULT Output, as there is no such way to do it on Sound preferences.
Any help greatly appreciated, thanks

Refer to Apple - Support - Discussions - System does not store my sound preferences or Apple - Support - Discussions - Sound preferences sometimes messed up after boot for removing Soundflower from your Mac.
However, AFAIK, there is no way to make 'Headphones' the default sound output device, since the switch among built-in audio, headphones, (& optical output on Macs with a dual purpose optical/analog output jack) is controlled by what you do or don't insert into that jack.
