Restore issue after updating to IOS 8

I updated my ipad mini a few hours ago but following the IOS 8 install it will not restore from any back ups (most recent just before updating) at all and will not sync apps with itunes either, it just causes itunes (ver 11.40.18) to stop working and crash.
The only work around I could find was to restore then set up as a new ipad, but when doing so it would not set up via the itunes screen on the laptop and still wont sync apps without crashing itunes.
All was working 100% before the IOS 8 update.
Any ideas at all?

Oh dear. This doesn't bode well for many of us. I don't know if I even have a back-up to restore to if I go full factory restore. Hearing that you do have back-ups but can't use them is very worrying.
I wish Apple would hold off on the releases until such issues are sorted. They seem determined to make the previous version of their own technology incompatible with the latest stuff.

Message inbox having issues after updating to IOS 6.1

After updating to IOS 6.1 my SMS inbox has gone crazy. Most of the SMSs have lost their date time stamp. The time of receipt of the SMS for all of them is showing as 9:18 AM, which was the time i took the update 6.1. Is anyone else facing the same issue.
Why is it so that for the last few updates in IOS, it is always the SMS inbox that is having issues? From the last update, the inbox has been showing blank SMSs, and now we have all the messages in inbox with the same time stamp.
Any idea how to rectify this issue ?

i have already this problem , ios 6.1 iphone 4s
is there anyone to report this bug to apple ?
i did anything what i found in internet ( reset, restore, cleaning dock , earphone, and... )
, but still not working .... !

Wi-fi issues after updating to iOS 6 (SOLVED!)

If you are having an issue over the wi-fi connection after updating to iOS 6, where the log-in to your wi-fi network fail and send you to an Apple web page, this is how I solved it:
Turn of your iPhone, not restart or restore, just turn it off, wait 10 seconds and turn on the iPhone again... Bingo! you'll will have wi-fi again.
No idea how to turn of the iPhone?
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red "slide to power off" slider appears, and then slide the slider.
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
(article link)
It's important to do this and not hold the Sleep/Wake button until the device restart, because I did that first and that's what started the problem. Remember, SLIDE TO POWER OFF is the trick.
I think this is a Facetime related problem now that it works over your cellular network, but I'm not sure. Let's hope more info to come along or a fix from apple be issue.
Hope it help.
Best regards to everyone.

Here's what I did that I read in another thread that appears to have worked for the time being:
1. Go to settings-->Safari-->Clear Cookies and Data
2. You will get a pop that asks to you confirm that you would like to clear cookies and data, do it.
3. Restart your iPhone by holding the home button and on/off button UNTIL THE APPLE LOGO APPEARS ON THE SCREEN. Don't let go early.
4. If not connected to wifi, connect through settings menu.
Again, this fixed my problem but others are reporting that it did not work for them. Good luck and hopefully Apple will get a patch out ASAP.

Logic Remote connectivity issues after updating to iOS 8 (solved!)

Has anyone else has been experiencing connectivity issues with Logic Remote after updating to iOS 8?
After updating to iOS 8 I could no longer connect so I sent a feedback report to Apple and got a response that cleared up my problem immediately:
Navigate to the following directory on your desktop system running GarageBand:
~/Library/Containers/com.apple.garageband10/Data/Library/Preferences/
You can quickly navigate there using the “Go” menu in Finder -> Go To Folder (shift-command-G), then copy this path:
~/Library/Containers/com.apple.garageband10/Data/Library/Preferences/
In the Preferences folder should be a file named "com.apple.garageband10.cs”.
Make sure GarageBand is not running and delete the "com.apple.garageband10.cs” file.
Relaunch GarageBand and see if you should now be able to connect.
The same can be done for Logic by navigating to:
~/Library/Preferences/
And deleting "com.apple.logic.pro.cs" and restarting Logic.
Note that doing this will fix Logic Remote connectivity issues (and possibly other problems with latency and mixer functionality) but will also delete any other Controller settings that you've configured with Logic, if you happen to be using another controller of some sort.

Thanks very much! This solved my connection problem.

Headphones issue after updating to iOS 6.1.4

I have not seen anyone else posting this issue but I feel like I can't be alone. I updated to iOS 6.1.4 and now any headphones I use are cracking and popping. I took my phone into the apple store after restoring as a new phone. I thought it was a hardware issue, but after they replaced my phone and I updated the new phone, the exact same issue is happening again, just two hours after having the replacement. I even set this phone up as a new iPhone to make sure it was not a settings issue.....
Anyone else having this, or have a fix. Guess I might have to just wait till next iOS update and cross my fingers I can use my headphones again.
(P.S. this is using several pairs of headphones. Even tried some display headphones in the apple store.)

Bumping this in hopes, someone will help

ITunes keep saying restoring iPhone after updating to iOS 5

I have just upgraded my iPhone 4 to iOS 5. After updating, my iTunes keep saying restoring iPhone apps. Now I can use my iPhone but without my previous apps. I have also tried closing iTunes and open it again but it still says restoring iPhone apps as soon as it detact my iPhone. Does anyone knows how to solve this problem? By the way, I am using Windows.

I had the same issue with my iPad. The iPad itself thought it was fully updated (had taken me to the iCloud set up etc) but iTunes insisted it was still restoring apps. I closed down iTunes each time via the task manager.
I tried uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes, which didn't help.
What I did in the end was disconnect the iPad while iTunes was still running - without any attempt to eject it. When I then plugged it back in, it came up with an error message along the lines of "An attempt to restore this iPad was interrupted. Do you wish to continue attempting to restore?" I hit cancel, and I was then able to do a manual sync as normal, and all my app data was restored.

Once i try to retrive it with itune after updated the ipad with iOS 6 , but it doesn't work and unable to sync with my PC . I sent to the service center, they say I have to restore it but I will lost all the photos. How can i retrive the photos before i restore it . All the photos are highly important to me and my family.

If so, go to photo's, select all the photo's you want (5max per email) and send those photo's to your self.

I notice a lot of you started having battery issues after updating to iOS 6....

I'm not saying this could be the reason but I'm about 98% sure it has something to do with it. I have an iPhone 4S and when I first got it, I remember the display was very very bright... i would set it on low and it was still pretty bright. Battery consumption was horrible, I could literally sit there stare at the screen and see the battery percentage drop. Then when some kind of update was released about a month later iOS 4.XX something along the lines... that suppose to fix the issue. I updated my phone and it was fixed. However, it was fixed because my phone got more dimmed.. i could max out the brightness and it was still no where near the brightness of before. And this cause my battery life to be better. However after I updated to iOS 6 the brightness came back, and my battery is rapidly decreasing like it did before. So i'm guessing this had something to do with the battery issues. I'm hope this will help you all. to make your battery last longer, dim your phone, better for your eyes too

I, on the other hand, had no brightness issues on the 4S after upgrading to iOS 6, and no change in (good) battery life. If could be something else, an app or background process that is less efficient with iOS 6? Could be anything.

Cannot restore backup after updating to iOS 4.0.2...

To make it short and sweet, yesterday I updated my iPod Touch 3G to iOS 4.0.2 and today I tried to restore a backup into it, and everytime it gives me an error (no numbers or anything). What's wrong? I've read similar problems and very few legit solutions...please help!!

I just experienced the exact same thing after upgrading from iOS 4.2.x to iOS 4.3...
Now my iPad shows the picture of the white USB cable that tells me to connect to iTunes to (re)activate. After trying this nothing happens - except from a message in iTunes telling me that;
"There is a problem with your iPad.
We're sorry, the iPad you connected may be damaged and canot be activated for service. We recommend you to visit your nearest Apple Store for more information. To find your..."
Anyone else had similar exeriences?!

Back up & restore issue after updating to 4.3

Before updating my SP from 4.1 to JB 4.3 I made a backup using tool "Back up & restore" on SD card. But now after updating to JB 4.3 I'm unable to restore that backup. It says "Cannot restore, Selected backup records cannot be used due to incompatible software versions. Please select a more recent backup file".Is there any way resolve this? I need to restore my old Contacts, I don't care about rest of the data.

It's unvelibable!If Sony provides a Backup & Restore tool, it is intended to do exactly as expected: backups that can be restored.
I made backups to be sure all my valueable data is not lost.Now my mobile has been stolen :-(Don't worry, I think, I have a backup of all important data.Nooo!! Say Sony's tool: you have a different version of Android now, so you CAN NOT restore any data.And say: updates the old phone (the stolen one), and make a NEW backup. Ok, it is not admisible! You must provide a tool that can restore data without (impossible) conditions. This is not a tool, this is a secure way of throw away all of your important data!! I'm very angry! This contacts are not my friends, are business contacts and I'm loosing money because of that >:-(

Phone issue after updating to ios 7.1.2

I upgraded to ios 7.1.2 - Post this my phone is behaving strangely. Others are unable to call me and I get a message saying I missed a call from xx number.

the update for iOS 7.1.2 is stuck/frozen at ~40% for about an hour now.....on my iPhone 4S
About 5 minutes after install began I looked over at my phone and had black screen. I thought it might be done so I hit HOME button once...no response so I left it alone (figuring it was still updating). Maybe 10 minutes later I noticed the Apple Update progress bar (pic below) so again did nothing. Cam back half hour later and no progress. Came back 15 mins later and same....so I tried pressing HOME and POWER, unplugging...non-responsive.
What do I do to fix this??

Album Art Issues After Updating To iOS 6.0.1

Just updated to iOS 6.0.1 from iOS 6.0 now some album art is not showing at all. In portrait mode it doesn't show art at all until I select the album. But even then it doesn't show on some of them. In landscape mode it shows up on some albums only but not all. All music on my iPhone was bought on iTunes and use to show before update. Wish I was still on iOS 5

I suppose that you can demand all you want. It would have to be proven that the iOS update broke this particular function but it could also be said that it was just a matter of time that the broken thing manifested itself. Since the phone is out of warranty, it could also be said that it is your risk to update software. I'm not trying to be argumentative here, but we are not Apple. We are users like you and just try and provide support to other users. What you decide to do from here is your decision. I've given you all I know to do.

How can i fix my iphone 3gs when i have network issues after updating to IOS 6.1.3 and avoid the connect to ITunes screen?

Im an owner of an Iphone 3gs.
When I updated my software to IOS 6.1.3 I started having network issues such as my phone would go on searching, it would search for signal and then No service after few minutes it would restart and when its on again it would show me Connect To Itunes screen, I tried connecting but nothing happens and if I just leave it as it is it will just keep on restarting and showing the same screen sometimes I might get lucky and the phone will start working again but No Service and if I turn on my 3G for the times Im outdoors it will just restart again so 3G is also another problem I have got. Today I decided to take it to an Apple Store, the guy restored it and now what happens is that it switches on and is showing me the connect to Itunes message but with black backround and i cant do anything it keeps on restarting and showing the same thing. Please if there is anyone that would like to spend some time with me to help me out, he would be more than Welcome.
Im located in South Africa

iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X

Cannot restore settings after updating to iOS 5

I have upgraded successfully to iOS 5, well almost, because just after the upgrade finished, I wen't through the settings (language, country, WI-FI) and was then given a choice to set as a new device or restore from backup. Since my backup is on my computer I chose restore from iTunes.
But restoring fails, and this happens for both my iPhone 4 and iPad 2. I've been given a number of errors (-19 or -50) and sometimes it just says "iTunes cannot restore iPad because the backup session failed".
This happens on both my iPad and iPhone no matter which backup file I choose.
With the iPhone I've tried to put it in recovery mode and reset to factory settings, but I still can't restore it.
Anyone else with this problem, and does anyone know what to do?

READ THIS!!!!!
For anybody having these issues here is what I did.
First of all, BACKUP your original backup, yes a backup of a backup. First of all make hidden files visible, at your explorer go to tools>folderoptions>view and show hidden files and folders. If you cant find the tools at your window press alt and a toolbar will appear. The file is located in C/users/YOURACCOUNT/appdata/roaming/applecomputer/mobilesync/backup.
Again this is just a precaution.
Now if you some sort of anitvirus program, ESPECIALLY if it is AVAST. Turn it off! For some reason it is conflicting with restoring with the backup.
Restart Itunes and plugin your iphone, it will probably still come up with the (-50) error. Ignore this! Now right click your iphone under devices at the left side of itunes. Then choose then do restore from backup and wait. Hopefully your Iphone screen will say restore in progress!
Now I just hope this helps someone as I was freaking out because I was updating my bros iphone. And he had a lot of saves and photos etc.
If you have ANY questions please ask as I know how frustrating this error is.
