Problems with iMessage after update to iOS5

I installed the iOS5 on my iTouch and now I can't use iMessage. It keeps prompting me for my AppleID username or password, which it won't accept, even though I used iMessage prior to the update to iOS5! I rebooted and created a new password (even purchased a song to make sure AppleID worked, it did) and NOTHING!! Help! Any suggestions would be appreciated!

Don't waste time with all of that crap....
Just update your date/time settings:
Settings
> General
>> Date & Time
>>> Set Automatically: Slide "ON"...If it's already on, then slide it off, chill for a bit (maybe restart it), then slide it back on.
I literally* just did this, saw a link for this thread, and figured i'd come see if it worked for you. Mine hasn't worked since early January and for a while I wasn't getting texts from some other iPhone users either.
I have an iPhone 4, but I assume it will still work for you. I also have iOS 5.1 (just updated after plugging into iTunes on my mac), so that may make a difference, but I think it's just a network thing. When you disable "Set Automatically" for time, I figure that you are also denying access to a part of the network that is necessary for iMessage.
**EDIT**
I also forgot to mention that, despite Apple's excluvisity, you still need to rely on an internet connection to use this little feature. After you activate, it will even have an option to send as a regular text (SMS) when iMessage isn't available (when there is no or very little internet). I'm assuming that sliding to "no" will just save the message until you connect again.

HT1589 problems with itunes after updating..can't locate some of my songs..some have an exclamation point beside them how do i get these songs back in my itunes

I'm having problems with itunes after updating. I've lost all my playlists,,finally played around with it and got the songs back but some have an exclamation point beside them and can't be located. they are songs i've purchased. I'm not very computer literate so this is a major problem. I have spent hours with this. I just want all my songs to play even though I'm not happy that I have to recreate my playlists. It would be so much easier if I knew and understood how to correct this. Has anyone else had this problem and if so..is there an easy way to correct it?

Not sure how this is an ipod touch question.
Perhaps you should post in the itunes forum.

I am facing problems with mails after update iPhone 4S/io7. I have configured yahoo mail in iPhone 4S. When I click on refresh, it shows new mail downloaded but when I go inside inbox the new mail don't show up. Can anyone help me with this iOS 7 issue ?

Hi were you able to resolve yours?
I was very worried losing all my medical stuff on my iPad Air 2, plus i have nothing to use for the next day! So i have to try all the possible things i read on the internet!! And this worked on my part (Thank God, and thank you Google)
Perform a hard reboot
Hold down the Home button and Power button on your iPhone or iPad and keep holding them until you see the Apple logo. Once you do, you can let go. When your device boots back up, go ahead and check to see if the apps have started re-downloading. If they still appear to be stuck, continue on.

Problems with X3 after updating

Hi,
first, it is possible that I will use some wrong expressions because my phone language is actually German.
Last week I updated my phone from v6.11 to v8.4.
Before, I saved my files to the memory card, afterwards I restored them. It said "Settings reset" and there were the problems I will describe; I tried to restore again, but I could not choose the menu item "programs and games" now.
So, now
- all the themes and ringtones are gone
- the rest of my programs seems to be links named with with file type ".rms" which is "not supported" (All 4,0 MB and named chat_xxx, conv_xxx, isuite_xxx, mynokia_xxx or wocl_xxx), including the calculator which didn't leave a trace.
- my games are playable 'cause I saved them manually on my memory card - but the ones I added after I bought the phone don't work (message: invalid program. Delete?)
- I can't download a (special) program from ovi store (which I didn't try before the update, because of that I don't know if it's perhaps a problem of my provider) (message: certificate not on telephone or SIM)
- when I choose "All photos" it says "no photos to show", but I can open them over "contents -> memory card -> pictures". The camera saves the photos there, too, but it doesn't show them either.
I wonder now if it helps
- restoring the first backup again, but just "gallery files" and "programs and games" (which is chooseable again now) (this, I think, would not solve the problems with my memory games and the invalid file types of my games)
- making another backup and do the update again (will the first update then be chooseable again? I don't want to give up my programs, themes and ringtones... Can I restore them from the first backup and the rest from the second?
I would have tried the second possibility if I knew if it is possible... Please answer that, or, if you have a better solution, please give it to me.
Regards
Philip

Hi Philip,
If you still have this issue (and have not tried yet), try to reset your device by selecting Menu > Settings > Restore factory settings > Restore all.
And before restoring your backup check that all preloaded themes and ringing tones are working. Then try restoring apps and games from your backup again.
If some apps/games are not working after restore it's most probably because those are DRM protected and those you would need to reinstall.

Problem with iphone after update

Hey guys, I am having a bit of bother with my iphone. Basically i was given an iphone 3g and I'm not really sure where it came from but it had a vodafone sim, I am on an orange contract so i took out the vodafone sim and put the orange one in and to my surprise it worked, it has been working fine for months but tonight I decided to do an update on itunes and now it is telling me that the "sim card in this phone does not appear to be supported" and and my phone is stuck on a screen with the usb cord and the itunes logo telling me to connect it, also i can only make emergency calls. What on earth have i done? I no longer have the original sim so cant use that to activate it
Is there any way to fix this? I had no idea doing an update would cause this trouble and atm my phone is useless.
Any help would be very much appreciated,
Cheers
Tors,

The problem also appeared for some people after updating to 7.0, and for some after updating to 6.1.3, or 6.1.2, or to 5.1, 5.0, etc. and some first saw it without updating at all. Which argues against it being a software problem with 7.1 specifically.
Restore your phone using iTunes and set it up as a new phone. It you still have the problem it is a hardware failure.

Problem with screen after update

hello,
I have a BB Passport and I have a problem after the last software update OS 10.3.1.1565
- the screen is flashing when i go into an application... This happens randomly... not every time. First I had this problem with Evernote. I erased everything from my phone and I performed a full wipe (factory reset). The problem is not solved. now is happening more often... when I go to settings, when I open an app... and so on. Usualy is flashing white screen, but last night when I wanted to watch a video, it flashed green screen...
Is there a way to solve this problem? Is this a software problem? Or I have to replace my screen?

Problem with sound after update

Hello
After update to 11.3 I have no bass sound in subwoofer in Firefox browser (youtube). I uninstall the newest version and install previous (11.2) and bass plays ok.
My os: Windows 7 x64. Sound card Creative X-fi.

Hello!
My problem is summed up in this topic.
Updated Flash Player with 11.3 this morning (june 12th 2012) and since then my 7.1 Sound System works only 2.1. If i enable EAX Effects, works on 7.1 but since it`s just a room it sounds very odd.
I have no problem with sound on HTML 5 websites for that matter, Winamp, Video Players, games.
Uninstalled Flash Player, sounds work ok without it on different browsers, other than Chrome (since it has FP built in).
I hope for a sollution soon.
Thank you.
*edit*
Untill there is a permanent solution, i found a way to deal with my issue and i hope it will help others.
I personally use Chrome and this is for this browser:
1. Type "about:plugins" w/o the quotation in the navigation bar.
2. On the upper right u will see "Details" click it then find the word "flash", and you will see something like this:
Flash (3 files) - Version: 11,3,300,257
Shockwave Flash 11.3 r300
Name: Shockwave Flash
Description: Shockwave Flash 11.3 r300
Version: 11,3,300,257
3. I say again, this worked for me on Chrome. The 3 files i have, two of them are Version 11,3,300,257 and one is 11.2.31.144
4. Simply disable the lates version 11.3 and enable the previous version 11.2
I hope this helps.

Hi i have problems accessing my email accounts after update to iOS 8.3.1 , I tried to delete all accounts but I still have the same problems.

Hello, so, I was having the same issue including my memory showing 0 GB available. I tried all of these suggestions and couldn't make it work, here's what finally worked for me:

That worked for me and now shows the free GB I truly have left and no longer have issues with my email. Hope this helps if it does please let me know and pass it along.
Thank you :-)

Big problem with photos after update to iOS 4.3

Hi everyone,
I have a big problem with the photos on my iPhone 4 after updating to 4.3
There is not enough space for them, anymore. Before the update I had about 9000 photos synced with iTunes -and I had about 10 GB free. Now, iTunes can't sync the photos anymore because there is not enough space on the iPhone??? The same amount of photos does not fit anymore. I suppose there is an error in the Itunes photo compression module. Anybody else with the problem? Any suggestions for a workaround?
Thanks, Olaf
Update: The same number of photos is taking up three times as much space than before.
Message was edited by: olafoio

Me too, but I have the solution.
There seems to be 2 problems. First, for some reason your data is taking up more space post update, so if you were close to filling your device, you now overrun. This isn't well handeld by iTunes, but doesn't seem to be the biggest problem as I'm sure that would sort itself out if you could just get it to sync.
The root problem is the 2nd one - the missing file. Mine was a photo, but it took me ages to find it and you're not going to like how I did it. I started to untick things to sync one by one (music first) and attempting the re-sync. I found that it was a file in my photos that was causing the problem, so I removed those and then re-loaded everything back up and I'm now OK again. I use Aperture to sync with.
I had the same problem with the last OS update and it's a pain because it takes ages to sort with a nearly full 32G device.
Now onto my iPad for an update, but that's proving to be a non-starter as the thing wont back up due to "another session in progress". More rooting around to solve that I guess......

Problems with Internet, after update to build 9926

updated to version 9926 via the Update Center. everything worked properly. once it updates via windows update kb2267602 kb3034229 and update for the graphics card. after installation, LAN connection and WIFI stopped working (unidentified network without
Internet access) diagnostics showed one or more protocols are not set / incorrect value ip. after the introduction of hand-ip network has become identified, but the Internet has not appeared and diagnostics began to show problems with DNS. Internet on other
devices are working properly. Sorry for my English.

Hi Jetbal,
What is your current situation?
Have you tried to manually install the LAN and WIFI drivers? Download the drivers from the manufacturer side, then take a try to install them with compatibility mode. Right -click on the install file, then select compatibility tab, under taht tab, choose
Windows 8.1 or Windows 7 compatibility mode and then install to check if issue could be solved.
