Should I finally install IOS 5.0.1??

I have never had the battery problem so I have never installed the 5.0.1 update, especially after hearing that the update only made things worse for many people. Now that its been several months I haven't heard much about it lately. Has the update changed in any way? Everything on my iPhone still seems to be working great so I am wondering if I should still refrain from installing the 5.0.1 update? If so, is there a way to get rid of the annoying red badge reminding me of the update?? Thanks for any advice.

You really have no way of knowing how many people had problems with 5.0.1, because only the people who have problems post a message saying they do. The ones who have no problem don't rush to the forum to say "I updated to 5.0.1 and everything works better!" (Although some did). Any time an iPhone is updated a few people will have a problem after the update, or will think a problem they have observed is related to an update. This has happened with every update since the first over 4 years ago; 5.0.1 is no different and doesn't seem to have any more problems than any other release. There are also lots of people who have one problem or another and haven't updated recently. But these are randomly scattered so they are not blamed on an update.
Also note that hardly anyone has said that updating to 5.0.1 broke 5.0; most of the complaints have been that it didn't fix the problems they think were introduced by 5.0.
So the bottom line is that you will probably not have a problem after updating, but if you do there are ways to fix it.

I install latest update from my ipad 2, after the upgrade tablet running slowly. Probably the system requirements too high for my device. I think that users with older models should be able to install IOS 6.x.x on their devices or consider buying devices

I install latest update from my ipad 2, after the upgrade tablet running slowly. Probably the system requirements too high for my device. I think that users with older models should be able to install IOS 6.x.x on their devices or consider buying devices from other manufacturers ...
People are dissatisfied with the new update a lot, including some of my friends and acquaintances. Is it reasonable to wait until Apple implements the possibility to return to Ios Ios 6 to 7? And how soon it can be done?
Sorry for my english, i am from Russia.

I have a similar issue. I recently purchased an iPad Mini, and I started off by backing it up from the apps I had on my iPhone. Now, I have a number of apps that never downloaded and that I don't want on the iPad. Some of these are apps that I don't need, while others are the iPhone versions of apps. There are something like 23 apps that I have no use for, but iTunes tries to install every time I connect. I've also tried clicking the 'Will Install' buttons. There's no way to delete these apps from the iPad without first installing them, as far as I can see, and there's no way to NOT install them, in iTunes.
It''s not just annoying, it's causing problems with installation of larger files and movies. Now, every time I sync to the computer, I get a warning that I'm over capacity by 580 MB, and larger apps will not install! Clicking Revert and a bunch of other things doesn't work, either. And I can't just delete some of the apps, because I or my wife use them on our phones!

That's not a battery recharge sign. It's telling you your phone is in recovery mode and you need to plug it into your computer running iTunes.

Installing ios 5 on ipad

I need to install ios5 on ipad in order to then install ios7. I've hooked the ipad up to my computer and it says "to preserve your content, apply update on computer where you sync music, video and photos". What does this mean? It also says that I will lose all media content on ipad if I don't transfer. I thought when you synced, it transfers this stuff. Any help is appreciated.

If you have an iPad 1, the max iOS is 5.1.1. For newer iPads, the current iOS is 7.0.4. The Settings>General>Software Update only appears if you have iOS 5.0 or higher currently installed.

iOS: How to update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
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).
Tip 2 - If you're updating via wifi, place your iPad close to your router to preclude getting a corrupted download.
How to Upgrade to iOS 7
The iOS 7.0 update requires around 2.5 GB of storage space, so if your iPad is almost full, you may need to clear up some space. You can check your available space in Settings -> General -> Usage.
There are two ways to upgrade to iOS 7: You can use your Wi-Fi connection, or you can connect your iPad to your PC and update through iTunes. We'll go over each method.
To upgrade using Wi-Fi:
Note: If your iPad's battery is under 50%, you will want to plug it into your charger while performing the update.
    1.    Go into the iPad's Settings.
    2.    Locate and tap "General" from the menu on the left.
    3.    The second option from the top is "Software Update". Tap this to move into the update settings.
    4.    Tap "Download and Install". This will start the upgrade, which will take several minutes and will reboot your iPad during the process. If the Download and Install button is grayed out, trying clearing up some space. The space required by the update is mostly temporary, so you should gain most of it back after iOS 7 is installed.
    5.    Once the update is installed, you may have to run through the initial steps of setting up your iPad again. This is to account for new features and settings.
To upgrade using iTunes:
First, connect your iPad to your PC or Mac using the cable provided when you purchased your device. This will allow iTunes to communicate with your iPad.
You will also need the latest version of iTunes. Don't worry, you will be prompted to download the latest version when you launch iTunes. Once it installs, you may be asked to setup iCloud by logging into your iTunes account. If you have a Mac, you may be prompted on whether or not you want to enable the Find my Mac feature.
Now you are ready to begin the process:
    1.    If you upgraded iTunes earlier, go ahead and launch it. (For many, it will launch automatically when you plug in your iPad.)
    2.    Once iTunes is launched, it should automatically detect that a new version of the operating system exists and prompt you to upgrade to it. Choose Cancel. Before updating, you will want to manually sync your iPad to make sure everything is up to date.
    3.    After canceling the dialog box, iTunes should automatically sync with your iPad.
    4.    If iTunes doesn't automatically sync, you can manually do it by selecting your iPad within iTunes, clicking on the File menu and choosing Sync iPad from the list.
    5.    After your iPad has been synced to iTunes, select your iPad within iTunes. You can find it on the left side menu under Devices.
    6.    From the iPad screen, click on the Update button.
    7.    After verifying that you want to update your iPad, the process will begin. It takes a few minutes to update the operating system during which time your iPad may reboot a few times.
    8.    After updating, you may be asked a few questions when your device finally boots back up. This is to account for new settings and features.
 Cheers, Tom

My iPhone 6+ keeps rebooting after installing iOS 8.3

I have a 128Gb iPhone 6+. When I downloaded and installed iOS 8.3 via WIFI, it went through the usual download sequence and then started continually rebooting. After about 20 or so reboots, I got a white screen with a carrier signal on the top left, a location icon and a grayed-out bluetooth icon and the battery level indicator on the top right, and a curious "information" icon (a letter "i" in a circle) at the bottom right of the screen.
I tried tapping on the "i" but got no response. Then the iPhone went into the reboot cycle again. After several reboot cycles, I got the same white screen again. Then the iPhone again started rebooting and hasn't stopped.
My iPhone 6+ has been problematic since I installed iOS 8.1.2. Several random reboots (about 4 cycles, before the iPhone returned to "normal") and some other issues that I didn't document.
I brought the iPhone to the nearest authorized Apple repair center. They said that they could not find any problem and neither could they duplicate the issue I experienced. They recommended that the next time reboots happened that I should make a video of the error. Also, they recommended that I keep all of the apps updated (which I conscientiously do). So I decided to make a log of all the errors since the iPhone was returned to me.
Here are the entries to my log:

Yeah my is the same. Ive had enough of it now...Its been a week of my phone crashing & apps crashing, camera crashing, call dropping out all the time. I've had enough. Apple have done nothing to help it. Ive an upgrade & myself & my partner are buying samsungs.
P.S I've downloaded both ios 8 & ios.8.2 straight from my PC.
I have done all of the above & phone is still unstable & crashes apps all the time. Right now as we speak whats app wont work.
Waited to long now...Apple are doing nothing to help anyone anymore. Company is going down the drain fast.

Phone won't start after installing iOS 6

Alright, first post here so bear with me.
So I installed iOS 6 I think maybe last Sunday and everything was fine from there. Safari, messaging, photos, apps were all working well. After the install I had lost all my apps but it didn't bother me as I don't have many so I installed them all again.
Today I forgot to install a flashlight app so I decided to do so then my phone went black. I thought hmm thats odd, and tried turning it on but it wouldn't. I thought it had simply loss battery so I connected it and it still wouldn't turn on. I decided to press and hold the home and power button to try and restore it and the apple startup screen kept flashing on and off.
Eventually I was able to restore it after numerous attempts and I decided to back it up as I did not want to lose anything. Restored and everything fine again except I was left with no apps and music, so, a bit annoyed, I added a few albums and went to my bed for a nap and tried to install Alien Blue app on my phone to read to get me to sleep but crashed again.
Now I realize it's something to do with the app store so I realize I should just probably restore my iphone clean (real pain in the *** though) but now it's not letting me restore and the start up screen is just blinking on and off. Have it connected to my computer but itunes is not reading it and have gone into Services on computer and disabled then enabled Apple Phone Device but no dice.
Is there anyone that could help me please? I would really really appreciate it.
P.S. I have an iPhone 4 which I have had for nearly 2 years, my contract runs out in December.

You may of had a corrupted install. Connect to iTunes backup then restore. Or update the apps on itunes then sync to the iPhone

Apps won't update after installing iOS 8

After having installed iOS 8 on my IPhone 5, which has never let me down before, I have had this ridiculous problem, which goes like this - I can't update the existing apps on my phone. Anyone else with a similar problem?

I just fixed My Wife's iPhone 5.
steps
1. deleted all apps that were trying to update
2. Reset iPhone By holding down the home and power button.
3. When the iPhone powered back on it immediately prompted us for our iTunes account information
4. Once I put that in it started downloading the apps but they got hung up again!
5. Turned off WiFi, connectEd to LTE (AT&T)
6. Apps finally pulled down.
Not sure what it is because my iPhone 6 plus can pull down apps and updates from the App Store and iTunes while on WiFi. So can all of the other iPads and iPhones in our house. And Her iPhone worked on Safari, Facebook etc.
I think it's an issue with iTunes credentials. Like they're not being passed from the device to Apple.

I installed IOS 7 and now it won't accept my password. How do i fix it?

I finally got around to installing IOS 7 and now my phone won't accept the 4 digit passcode. I didn't think about disabling that feature before the upgrade. Never had a problem before. And yes, I'm sure I'm using the right code. I use it many times per day! I tried plugging into my computer and itunes but since it isn't unlcocked it won't recognize it. Likewise with iCloud. I tried find my phone and it comes up offline. This is a last ditch effort. I can't even phone a friend! Any workaround?

The security is tighter in iOS7,
When you install it for the first time it asks you a few questions to configure these new settings, and I'm wondering that you may be confusing the new authorization scheme for your old password.
When first running iOS7 after the upgrade it will ask you for (not your iPhone password) but your iCloud/Apple ID password.
Read the questions carefully and make sure that you're not confusing the two as prompted. You may not be, but this is my initial thoughts, as the install does not change any existing passwords but does link the hardware to iCloud to further prevent theft.

Can't install iOS 8 on iPad with sufficient storage

Can't install iOS 8 on my iPad 3, while there is 6,1 GB of free space available.
iTunes says I have the latest version installed (while it's developer iOS 8 beta 3).
What can I do??
Suggestion for Apple: the iOS installer could temporary remove installed apps to clear space and restore the apps when the installation is complete.

These are user-to-user forums, you're not talking to Apple. To leave feedback : http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipad.html
How much space is it saying that you require - I thought that on mine it said 6.7, but I wasn't paying that much attention. You could try deleting something else e.g. if you have any films or TV shows downloaded then you could copy them over to your computer's iTunes library and delete them from your iPad.
But if you have iOS 8 beta installed then you should be posting in the developer forums : https://devforums.apple.com/index.jspa

When I try to install ios lion the installer says my hard drive has SMART errors and that I need to buy a new Hard Drive, but my computer witch has snowleprd and runs just fine

When I try to install ios lion the installer says my hard drive has SMART errors and that I need to buy a new Hard Drive, but my computer witch has snowleprd and runs just fine.

SMART is a technology that monitors the drive for signs of impending failure. You can verify that SMART is indicating a problem in Disk Utility. Select the hard drive and look at the bottom of the window. It should look like this:
If the SMART status is not "Verified" then you should back up your drive and start shopping for a new one.

I installed iOS 7 and it deleted some of my contacts, as expected, so I just resaved them all. There's one particular number that will save but in my messages, it shows up as the number instead of the name saved. How do I fix it? And why is it doing that?

I had this problem too, I fixed it by going to my settings and under general at the bottom there is a reset option, go there. One of the options should be reset network settings, select that one. I’m not sure why it happens but that worked for me; hope you have the same luck!

Wi-Fi greyed out after installing iOS 7

So I installed iOS 7 and after few hours my Wi-Fi turned grey , I got this iPhone 1 month ago , the thing is , the bluetooth is still working so the Wi-Fi chip must be working right ?
Hope I can get help.
Note : I heard there is a blow dryer solution to this , do you think it's safe and if yes , how should I do it ?

The exact same thing happened to my 4s when I upgraded to iOS 6.0, almost right after I updated my WiFi greyed out. I took it to an Apple store and they swore up and down it was a hardware issue and that since my phone was 5 days out of warranty I couldn't get a replacement. I took it home and the next update or two fixed it so it was NOT a hardware issue, it was the iOS. If it suddenly crapped out on you after updating I would bet it's the same thing.
I don't understand why Apple can't field test these a little before mass release, it makes them look sloppy.

After installing IOS 5 can't get mail to work...

I have been having trouble installing IOS 5 on my Ipad and part of the problem may have been with my home computer... In any event, I finally was able to get it on but the result is a bit discouraging. All my apps are there, but I lost everything on them... not that there was much... but my main concern is that I can't get Mail to work... I go in settings and when I click on mail... it just goes back to the page with all the icons... I have tried reinitializing and all... but nothing works... Any idea what is the issue and how to fix it ?

First try rebooting your iPad. Press and hold BOTH the power and home buttons at the SAME time for at least 10 seconds (ignore the red slider to shut down) until the Apple Logo appears, then let go of both buttons and your iPad will restart. If that does not help, you may need to restore your iPad in iTunes. You can restore from a backup (assuming you have a backup to restore from).

Since installing IOS 5 on my iphone4, the music gets mixed up and sometimes it won't even play it !

Since installing IOS 5 on my iphone4, the music gets mixed up and sometimes it won't even play it !
Even after many tries of sync, it won't work like before...
Anyone had the same problem?

Same problem here, but I found a solution that worked for me:
Altered from original solution from Emily P:
Okay, mine now works here is what I did.
plug in the iPhone, iPad etc
in iTunes select the phone or iPad
Under Summary uncheck "Sync with this....."
Under "Music" uncheck the "Sync Music"
Sync
Let it remove all the songs, dont worry it will come back no problems.
Once that is all done all the music on the phone or ipad should be gone.
Now check them both back on, sync, and everything should copy back onto it.
Working now !!!!!

Should I finally install IOS 5.0.1??
