Significant issues with 3.1.2 - I updated earlier this week

Updated to 3.1.2 earlier this week - and I suddenly have all sorts of issues.
1) *battery drain is significant* - my phone dies at night if not left in the cradle (this never happened before). I need to charge the phone every few hours now, on average, 2x per day - wow, again, this never happened before.
2) *The phone is unbelievably S...L...O...W...* it runs as fast now as molasses. Examples: a) To accept a phone call, it takes 2 - 4 seconds before the phone responds to Accept (if I do not pick up on the first ring and accept, I cannot answer in time), b) change from phone to mail, response time is between 5 to 10 seconds (before, there was no hesitation) c) search, now takes sometimes over 25 seconds!!! - previously, the maximum time was about 3-5 seconds. d) typing - how about 5 seconds per letter - totally frustrating? e) Map - 5 to 10 minutes to locate AND the phone freezes - so you cannot answer a call or change applications. Its not necessarily the time that bothers me, its the complete locking of the phone. f) type in my password to access the phone, hesitation of 3 to 6 seconds, and typing takes about 1 second per numeral for the passcode. This was never a problem before.
Anyways, you get the idea, everything is slow.
My phone has always been very reliable - this is the first time that I have had any issues. No recent updates to applications that I sometimes use, like FRING or Truphone. Weather eye now takes about 20 - 45 seconds to load, either through the 3GS network or on my office WiFi. Previously, it would take between 5 to 10 seconds.
Anyone else having these issues? Suggestions? Time to roll back perhaps?
Regards to everyone,
Stu

No problem,
Yes it is a pain - but many that reported battery drain issues in the 3.0 upgrade from 2.x found relief in doing this.
Most of my backup/restores have been fine, but on other platforms this technique worked well to save me the trouble of mailing my phone in for repair.
You can run the phone completely bare for a day or 2 and see if your symptoms reappear or you could sync your contacts, calendar and mail - but try to keep whatever you add to a minimum to try to narrow down the problem.

Greyed imaged in the Import dialog box mean you have already imported the photos into Lightroom, so there is no need and no benefit to importing them a second time.
Just go to the Library module, search for the desired photos, and resume working on these photos.

After updating iTunes this week Windows 8 recognizes the iPod but does not offer an option to open with iTunes. iTunes does not recognize iPod Touch. Have followed all the steps but without success. Is there a solution with iTunes?

I followed all the instructions on the suggested page. Many files in C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\ and C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\ could not be deleted. Message said ""Cannot delete files: It is being used by another person or program"' but could not find iPodService.exe in task manager (also, the "Cannont delete ... " did not mention iPodService.exe).
Deleted all that I could. Reinstalled iTunes. Still same result. iTunes and computer both recognize my old iPod. Only the computer recognizes iPod Touch.

Issues with multiple things since Mavericks update

I installed the Mavericks update and since, I have been having multiple problems with different things on my MacBook Pro 13"
1. Printer issues: I have an HP officejet 6500 wireless printer (Officejet 6500 E709n Series), and now it's having major issues with printing, yet was working perfect prior to update. It will either cut out pages when printing PDF documents, or printing so slow that it has to take a break in between printing each document (an issue that all never occurred until update), to print documents back to back, it will stop after one document as though I have no other documents in queue to print, and pauses for an extremely long time (nearly a full minute, no exaggeration here, literally almost a full 60 seconds), something it's never done before this update. My Apps update even did an update to the HP software that is inside the Mac already to use printing (in other words, the mac doesn't need to have the HP software manually installed for it to work, it automatically sees the printer because it is connected to my wireless network just as my Macbook Pro which is also connected wirelessly to my network).
2. Internet issues: am now unable to click on certain links in safari that I was able to use prior to the update, yet they will open fine inside of firefox with no issues, yet I cannot always switch between two different browsers to perform task online (literally have to start all over inside firefox while in the middle of something in safari). Also lots of websites no longer work correctly and I have to constantly clear history and cookies to attempt to use certain sites, at times it will help, other times it wont work period, yet the same exact site will work perfect in firefox (which I do not use, only on my system for use on certain sites for school because in safari prior to the update, I would have issues with only the class site and some links not working at all, no spinning wheel, no errors, just nothing, no response of any kind, basically worse than what it was before the update). Another issue, hit Ctrl+a to select inside Safari and it highlights, but then when you click out of the highlight, it comes back on it's own several times without you hitting anything, just click inside the screen on a blank space (no links, etc) with touchpad.
3. System issues: My system is way slower than what it was prior to the update, click on things and it wont respond at all, then minutes later will eventually respond or pops up the spinning color wheel, which it either never responds or takes an extremely long time to respond. And no matter how much I restart, it doesn't help anything. Even just to sit doing nothing, no clicking or usage on the system, and the color wheel pops up.
4. Mail issues: Mail is now popping up completely blank messages that I have sent out, the person receives it with no issues, yet I cannot look at the message I sent neither in the inbox or the sent items when I need to look at them again, an issue not present prior to update. Also I an now having issues when receiving mail, sometimes it will check for mail and sometimes I have to manually click to make it check the server for mail, an issue not present prior to update as well.
As of now, since I have had the chance to used the system since the update, these are the issues I have had, yet haven't had the chance to check other things, so there may be other issues that are occurring that I'm not aware of at the moment. I knew it would be a mistake to do this "free" update and did so anyway and now having one issue after the next with each application I open to use.
Mac general info:
Mac is one year old, purchased brand new, no shareware programs of any kind installed.
Use for school and basic web surfing use.
Do not install any programs onto system that I'm unsure are safe (basically programs for/from school/school websites only, or from the Mac Apps store only), not even programs like Skype, nor any windows based programs of any kind.
Lots of free memory avail because I save everything onto external hard drives (purchased brand new as well, only 4months old) in case system crash occurs, only things on the system is Itunes music or pics from photo stream that sync to the system when Iphone connected.
Mac system info:
- Processor 2.5 GHz Intel Core i5
- Memory 4 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
- Graphics Intel HD Graphics 4000 1024 MB
- Software OS X 10.9
- Number of Processors:          1

For those needing help fixing their system and putting it back to Lion or Mountain Lion, this is what I have done to eliminate all my issues in about an hour (depending on your internet connection).
Amazing thing, I just restored my computer back to Mountain Lion, and she's working perfect again, as I knew she would. E-mail popping into mailbox instantly as it should and did before the update, printer working fast as it was before update, no more freezing or glitches of any kind thankfully and finally. Here is the link that is through the Apple site to direct you on how to put your system back and get rid of Maverick's, that is assuming that is what you would like to do and also includes link for those wanting to try fixing the issue if that is your preference (most of this info is for those with mountain lion and some with the previousverisoin of OS X lion).
If you want to keep Maverick's here is a good post on the apple discussion board to help you out:
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-6161
If you just want to totally get rid of it and put back what you had before, this is the short version of how to do so:
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3353
NOTE: This particular link has a lot of info on what to do for different situations, it is a bit lengthy, yet still very helpful.

I hope this helps someone, it was amazing for me and my system is working perfect again like it was, battery life is way better went from like 3 hours to like 5 (not on full charge by the way, after it sat for a while doing the online update which took a while so that's saying something alone, huge improvement). I plan to wait a while before attempting to reinstall Maverick's, long enough for them to fix the bugs.

Issues with iPod Touch and latest update (4.3.3)?

I recently updated my iPod Touch 3G to 4.3.3. Before updating, I had absolutely no issues. Since updating, the iPod will shut off at will, sometimes flickering, sometimes going straight to the "slide to shut down" screen. Sometimes it will shut down in the middle of an app, I'll start it back up, and it will shut down again immediately. Occasionally, when I start it up after crashing, it will make the camera shutter sound! And there's no camera on this iPod!
Possible extenuating circumstance: I upgraded from a Power PC iMac to an Intel iMac at the same time I updated the software on the iPod. I have read the suggestions and the troubleshooting guide, and nothing has helped so far. I wiped the iPod clean and reinstalled and all that did was wipe out my settings (of course). Resyncing the iPod worked (apps and music loaded fine), but still it shuts down without warning. I tried installing a new free app, but that didn't work.
Usually I'm pretty good at figuring out these sorts of issues, but I'm at my wits end. Is anyone else having these problems? Am I screwed?

Okay, so now I have read that you have to install a free app through the phone, not through the computer. I've done so and it looks like everything is good for now. Keeping my fingers crossed. My question now, is that if this is a common occurance with the 4.3.3 update, why did Apple imply that I needed to wipe my iPod clean when this was the much easier and less invasive answer?

ever since i updated my ipad 2 to the newest 6.0.1 version it will not connect manually to my house wifi. i have rebooted, removed router and then added it back on. i have tried every fix and it doesnt work.help please

Some things to try first:
1. 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.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. 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
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
    •    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

Having Multiple Issues with the 3.0 firmware update.

Just thought I would share a copy of my feedback here to see if anyone else is having some of the 5 issues I am having since I upgraded. I have been "using" (more like fighting with) the 3.0 update since its release. Here is what I sent to apple (most of it):
+I purchased the 3.0 update almost the day it was released. I have now used my iPod Touch a couple of months and I must say that there are some serious issues that need to be addressed, and soon. And a google search seems to show I am not the only one with problems, including those listed in your very own forums. So in order to make sure that I go through proper channels, I will list them here:+
+1) WiFi Connectivity. Since the upgrade, my iPod drops wifi connections for no apparent reason. Wifi says its connected and can't access pages. It seems to turn on/off randomly, even when I am only 5 feet from the router. I have followed directions for resetting the network, restarting my router, wiping the iPod and even did a complete restore of the 3.0 firmware. Still the same issues. These were not issues in version 2.2.1.+
+2) YouTube (or more aptly the application that plays YouTube videos) keeps hanging up. The progress bar that shows how much of the video has been buffered will go somewhere between 30 and 75 percent complete, then hang. the video will play to that point and stop. In order to get past that point I have to close the video app and reload the clip, then I have to move the location "dot" to where it stopped so it will buffer from there. If I do not move it, guess what, it stops at the same exact frame the second time around. Also the buffer progress moves forward, and then sometimes jumps all the way back for no reason. This was not an issue in 2.2.1.+
+3) Screen rotation seems to only work about 2/3 of the time. Sometimes in Safari, I will rotate the screen and it will still say where it was and my only remedy is to restart Safari.+
+4) Battery life is shorter. Now I know the batteries wear out over time, but a 30% decrease in battery life since the very day I installed the update is not coincidence. I have disabled push applications and even wifi, and still have a decrease in battery life with no change in use. Again, this was not an issue in 2.2.1+
+5) System hang-ups. Even with just the apps that come with the iPod (no 3rd party apps from App Store) I still get system locks that force me to power off the ipod and restart it. Even with almost all my ipod full of App Store apps and audio/video I did not have this problem in 2.2.1+
+I have read the forums, tried the apple posted fixes and still have not seen any of these problems resolved. My frustrations with the iPod Touch 3.0 upgrade have left me with a sour Apple taste in my mouth.+
+To be very honest, I am a PC person. Many have tried to convert me to Apple. The iPod was a business tool so I could carry videos with me to show prospective clients what I could do, even make an impromptu demonstration. I refuse to use AT&T as a carrier, so an iPhone was out of the question. Up until 3.0 I was quite happy with my iPod, now it is left home on my desk more than in a pouch next to my cell phone. After all the hype about Apple being so much better than a PC for reliability, service and stability, I cannot say that I am very impressed. It may be a long while before I try another Apple product.+

+1) WiFi Connectivity. Since the upgrade, my iPod drops wifi connections for no apparent reason. Wifi says its connected and can't access pages. It seems to turn on/off randomly, even when I am only 5 feet from the router. I have followed directions for resetting the network, restarting my router, wiping the iPod and even did a complete restore of the 3.0 firmware. Still the same issues. These were not issues in version 2.2.1.+
You probably did everything except upgrading your router or your router firmware. 3.0 is very sensitive to outdated router firmware and will exhibit the problems you have experienced.
+2) YouTube (or more aptly the application that plays YouTube videos) keeps hanging up...
See #1. YouTube functionality is highly dependent on WiFi connectivity.
+3) Screen rotation seems to only work about 2/3 of the time. Sometimes in Safari, I will rotate the screen and it will still say where it was and my only remedy is to restart Safari.+
Mine has done this a few times as well. A restart or reset usually corrects the problem.
+4) Battery life is shorter. Now I know the batteries wear out over time, but a 30% decrease in battery life since the very day I installed the update is not coincidence. I have disabled push applications and even wifi, and still have a decrease in battery life with no change in use. Again, this was not an issue in 2.2.1+
There have been sporadic problems reported but I have never experienced anything like this. Restoring the iPod as new will rule out software issues.
+5) System hang-ups. Even with just the apps that come with the iPod (no 3rd party apps from App Store) I still get system locks that force me to power off the ipod and restart it. Even with almost all my ipod full of App Store apps and audio/video I did not have this problem in 2.2.1+
Again, a restore as new will correct 99+ percent of these. You can always force kill an app by holding down the Home button until you return to the home screen. This will keep you from having to restart.
+I have read the forums, tried the apple posted fixes and still have not seen any of these problems resolved. My frustrations with the iPod Touch 3.0 upgrade have left me with a sour Apple taste in my mouth.+
Apple doesn't post fixes except in the Tech Library. Search Support and you will find lots of helpful articles to correct issues.
+To be very honest, I am a PC person. Many have tried to convert me to Apple. The iPod was a business tool so I could carry videos with me to show prospective clients what I could do, even make an impromptu demonstration. I refuse to use AT&T as a carrier, so an iPhone was out of the question. Up until 3.0 I was quite happy with my iPod, now it is left home on my desk more than in a pouch next to my cell phone.

This is really too bad. I've used PCs for years and really never have suffered too badly from the experience - but I'm a fanatic about keeping my OS updated, virus scans current, and firewalls working. And throw in malware scans as well. I've also found most users don't have a clue how to keep their PCs "clean".
A year and a half ago, I bought an iMac and could not be happier and less worried about all of the potential PC threats out there.

TS1702 Is anyone else having issues with the most recent Facebook update? I updated it yesterday and now it won't open. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the app, but it still fails to open! Any suggestions?

Is anyone else having issues with the most recent Facebook app update? I updated it on my iPad 2 yesterday, now it will not open app at all. I have restarted iPad, uninstalled app and reinstalled, several times and still it will not work! Any suggestions? I have also closed the append still no results!

I just started having this yesterday. It's only happened twice, but it's annoying. My wife texted me that she was coming home last night, and it showed up immediately on my iPod Touch but not my iPhone. I opened my iPhone and it soon updated. Worked fine after that. Then just a moment ago today my wife texted me and the same thing happened. I heard my iMac and iPod Touch receive the message but it didn't display on my phone until I opened the phone and it showed up again a little bit thereafter. I suppose I'll send Apple some feedback on this issue.

Has anyone had issues with the most recent Yosemite update

I installed Yosemite October of 2014 mainly because I needed to update itunes to continue to help my daughter maintain her music files. Anyway the reason hardly matters. My computer and Yosemite did not get along. Posted up a file of my computer condition for people to look at here and the basic recommendation was to delete this that and the other thing. So I did that and the computer worked somewhat better. However I really am not sure if it was working better because Apple had been making progress with Yosemite ironing out Yosemite bugs. I had not reinstalled any of the software that it was recommended I delete back in October. So I doubt that is an issue.
Two weeks ago while updating, generally, a Yosemite update started downloading to my computer. It is now running 10.10.2.
Since then Mozilla crashes about five times a day and runs very slowly most of the time. Wondering if there is anything I can do or should I just wait it out...hope for the bestv AGAIN. I am encouraged by the fact that over time from October to mid February, Yosemite and my computer kept getting along better and batter. Since the update I am more or less back to square 1 as far as general speed and functionality and behind the eight ball as far as Miozilla goes as it is crashing constantly.
I also do not like how update files are identified in Yosemite. There are times when all you get is a notification that there are updates ready with no identification of what they are. Had I known that was a Yosemite update, I would not have touched it. What is up with this no identification of update files? Trying to ambush us now because people are beginning to avoid their updates? Good grief Apple.
Anyway....any ideas? Just wait it out? Hope Apple gets back on a path of bug fixes for Yosemite? Anybody with a quick fix for this one?

Automatically checking for updates is not the same thing as automatically installing updates and even automatically downloading updates is not the same thing as automatically installing updates. If Apple has now decided to describe them and implement them that way ....that is a mistake!
Here is what I have in my App store preferences although I repeat, I have never changed anything. What items are selected there are the items selected ions ago or defaulted in possibly with iTunes 12.0 installed and I was always in the past been given the opportunity to view any updates BEFORE They installed.
"Automatically check for updates" is checked. That should not cause an issue of any kind. If it is that is a problem not of my making!
"Download newly available updates in the background" is checked with an additional descriptive line of information that reads "you will be notified when the updates are ready to be installed" I was going to uncheck this. Although I did not ever go to this location and change my settings which leads me to believe that this is a default choice in Yosemite or iTunes 12.0 as this is not the way I am used to my updates either coming to me or being installed
"Install app updates" is checked ...Really....with permission, without permission, with notification? What the heck does this line really mean? Going to uncheck this
"Install OS X updates" IS NOT CHECKED
"Install system data files and security updates" is checked. This is another one that I am going to uncheck
"Automatically download apps purchased on other macs" is not checked
This system clearly Installed an OS X update without even asking me if I wanted it installed regardless of the fact the box is not even checked. So I have no idea how it managed to do that when the check box for OS X updates is not checked. A big OS X screen came up as the thing started installing leaving little doubt what it was at the point of being too late to do anything about it
There is an interesting element to the relationship between "Download newly available updates in the background" and "Install app updates". If you uncheck the former, a check immediately appears in the box for the latter and the box ix grayed out preventing you from making further changes. So your options are for updates to be downloaded in the background or have updates installed without prior notification. What the heck kind of a choice is that?
I am going to uncheck all of these for the time being except "automatic checking" and "Download newly available updates in the background". The former should not cause a problem and has never in the past caused a problem. Seems to me that I am forced to the latter for now. However to be perfectly honest i no longer have any idea what Apple is doing and I am not completely convinced that they know either.....not any more
I am going to go to Apple Tech Support and get full descriptions from them as it appears possible that they have changed their definitions and descriptive materials with regard to update activity either in Yosemite or iTunes.
Finally, this issue with automatic checking has nothing to do with Mozilla crashing five times a day in Yosemite. That is a separate problem and I guess I am just going to have to hope that Apple Yosemite bug fixes brings this back under control.

Significant issues with 3.1.2 - I updated earlier this week
