Since iOS 4.2.1 Update - Document viewer Apps do not work right!

Before I updated to iOS 4.2.1 Air Sharing (Document Viewer) was working (so were all my Document Viewers), but currently, they do not work correctly. I have checked about three others...all have the following problems:
Since I updated (to iOS 4.2.1), all the documents open up to FULL SCREEN mode (which it had never done before, since the very beginning of the AppStore). Full Screen mode means that it looks like a Word Document on the computer, with the margins showing. This is rediculous for the screen of an iPhone or iPod Touch. There is no need to see the margins. Also, the font size is so small that it makes it almost impossible for most people without a magnifying glass. The document used to open up to a "zoomed in" view of the text. This allows the person using the application to actually read the text. This also allowed scrolling up and down easily. Now, with the new Full Screen view, to get the text large enough to see, you have to double tap (or spread your fingers on the screen to scale it big enough) on the text to read it. Then, when you scroll up and down, it sometimes scrolls side to side or diagonally (into the white margins), making reading cumbersome.
The other problem with the new view is that the font sizes are all messed up. The normal font (whether 9 pt. to 16 pt.) looks the same. The italic font looks bigger than the normal font, though it is the same point size. It skews the page and alters what the original documents looks like.
I have contacted the developer of Air Sharing to complain, but he said the following:
Hello,
Thank you for the test file. I do see what you're referring to. We use Apple's built-in Office viewer for Air Sharing. This means to display files like .docx ones, we use Apple's viewer. It's possible they changed their viewer in the most recent iOS update to cause this change. Because it's not our viewer we have no control over how it displays such files. Other apps using Apple's viewer will encounter the same issue. I wish there was more we could do on our end to help resolve this problem.

Please tell someone to fix this situation. I can provide you with information (and screen shots of before and after) to back up all my complaints. Thank you for listening.

Ah, so that could be a good search term.
Things get a bit more weird though. I was looking through the commands in the drop down menu and saw under "Archive" this: "Put/Send the Apps you bought to this computer" (rough translateion in English) So I tried that out.
I could only do that by going to "Store" and (**** how to say that in English) "Allow" this computer to do that. This is weird as this is the same computer that I have always used for anything to do with the iPhone! I have now 2 computers that are allowed to sync, and it is one machine. Beats me!
At a certain point the transfer proces stopped again and again I was requested to "empower" this computer again, as out of the 65 apps now 21 were not allowed to be transfered! That did not work. It now keeps telling me that I have 2 computers allowed for transferring apps and these last 21 can not be put in the library.
I am a bit at my wits end!
But really thanks for trying to help out! It seems that 4.2.1 has some real problems when reading through the discussions!
Cheers!

After updating My iPad 2 to iOS 5.1.1 , my newly installed apps are not working.

After updating My iPad 2 to iOS 5.1.1 , my newly installed apps are not working . When I try to open the app the screen just flashes and then nothing happens. Built in apps works fine . Please help

I realize that installing apps is not the problem. Installing another app from the app store is a recommended troubleshooting tip from Apple if all of the third party apps will not open. It resets your iTunes authorization when you install the app because you have to enter your password.
If you didn't install another app try it. Read this support article as well.
iOS: Troubleshooting applications purchased for the App Store
Try this as well. Quit all apps, reset the iPad.
Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Quit/close open apps by double tapping the home button and the task bar will appear with all of you recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner to close the apps.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
If that doesn't work - sign out of your account, restart the iPad and then sign in again.
Settings>Store>Apple ID. Tap your ID and sign out. Restart the iPad.
Go back to Settings>Store>Sign in and then see if the apps will launch.

I upgraded to Mountain Lion yesterday, but since doing so I find that my 1Password app will not work. I have checked for 1Password updates but there are none. Is there a compatibility issue

Hmmm...I'm using 1Password Version 3.8.20 (build 31499) with a fresh install (scrape and pave) of Mt. Lion on my iMac and it's working fine.
I use Dropbox to sync 1Password so for my fresh install I simply downloaded 1Password from Agilbits website and installed it.
Have you tried reinstalling 1Password? Depending on how you purchased it, download it from their website or from the Mac App store to reinstall/replace it. (IIRC v3.8.x comes directly from Agilbits and v3.9 from the Mac App store.) You shouldn't have to uninstall it, the new download should overwrite the existing copy.
As with anything else, be sure to run a backup first!

HT4623 Since I installed the new update, my search feature will not work. It will only search my ipad. None of the searh engines work in Safari

Since I installed the new operating System, my search feature does not work. I can only search my ipad. None of the search engines work in Safari. How do I fix it?

Just just to make sure, you do not see something like this when you try to do a search in Safari?
Try clearing Safari in Settings>Safari>Clear Cookies and data. Then close Safari. Double tap the home button and drag the mini Safari window up toward the top of the screen in the multitasking display in order to close the app. Now reboot the iPad. Hold down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time until the Apple Logo appears on the screen.
Try Safari again.
The Spotlight Search feature on the iPad search) no longer searches the web, that is simply the way that Spotlight works now. Sort of a backwards move IMO but somewhat typical of Apple these days.

Documents view in Mavericks not working

I can't click on any of my documents in Mavericks. The viewing options are inactive. That is, I can see a grey-colored list of the files, but I can't select any of them. When I switch the viewing options, some of the files will be "alive" and clickable, but mosts are grey

Switch your finder to list view, the second icon with 4 stright lines.
Then hold Command and Control on your keyboard and click Zero on the Keyboard.
there is a small issue in Mavericks with the arrange feature. That command I gave you
reset the arrange feature to resolve that issue. This will get the finder to start working normally
from now on

IPhone 3GS no longer works with bluetooth since ios 4.3.2 update

Hi all. Since the ios 4.3.2 update my iPhone 3GS no longer works correctly with the bluetooth in my car (2006 Acura TL). I know it's not an issue with the car and the only thing that has changed is the update with the phone. Anybody else having this issue? I have unpaired, tried to re-pair, reset the network settings, reset all of the settings, and did a restore. I'm at a loss with what to do next.
Any thoughts?
Thanks

Its becoming a problem of epic proportions...so many people are having the exact same problem...I have a Feb 2010 Toyota Land Cruiser Series 200 and since upgrading to OS 4 my USB function no longer works like it did before the upgrade.
My Apple has become a LEMON!!
Would be nice to hear that Apple recognises there is a problem...buut maybe they are too busy counting all their money to care!!

HT1222 Has anyone else noticed much greater battery consumption since iOS 5.1.1 update for iPhone?

Since iOS 5.1.1 update has anyone else noticed a much greater battery consumption on all fronts? My phone used to rock steady all day and know is around 47% 12 noon to 1 pm with the same amount of usage.

Heres a support question... how the **** do I fix the dramatic battery drain problem that came about after installing 5.1.1? Suggestions for fixing problems on iTunes did not work.

3g problems since iOS 5.0.1 update to iphone 4

Since updating my iphone 4 to iOS 5.0.1 my 3G has been practically not working at all! It's showing as 3G enabled, but its acting as though it's off.
I've tried restoring my network settings and it has not made a difference. I literally cant use the internet on my phone anymore - however, Wifi is fine. Help?

Open a command window with Administrator privileges and type the following command:
netsh winsock reset
Then reboot your computer.

IPad 2 was updated to latest iOS 7 and has been not working right since. I have tried to do a restore but still continues to go into reboot mode by itself and very erratic. Can no longer trust it. I tried to complain to Apple but have to give them 20 buck

iPad has not worked right since it updated to latest software. Tried to question Apple about it but it costs 20 bucks just to lodge a complaint. Is this normal Apple behavior or am I missing something. Also anyone else having issues with upgrade to iOS7. It was working great until that point and now goes into reboot mode often and sometimes will continuously reboot several times. I have tried to restore but that didn't clear the problem. Any thoughts or help would be appreciated.

Greetings,
I've never seen this issue, and I handle many iPads, of all versions. WiFi issues are generally local to the WiFi router - they are not all of the same quality, range, immunity to interference, etc. You have distance, building construction, and the biggie - interference.
At home, I use Apple routers, and have no issues with any of my WiFi enabled devices, computers, mobile devices, etc - even the lowly PeeCees. I have locations where I have Juniper Networks, as well as Aruba, and a few Netgears - all of them work as they should.
The cheaper routers, Linksys, D-Link, Seimens home units, and many other no name devices have caused issues of various kinds, and even connectivity.
I have no idea what Starbucks uses, but I always have a good connection, and I go there nearly every morning and get some work done, as well as play.
You could try changing channels, 2.4 to 5 Gigs, changing locations of the router. I have had to do all of these at one time or another over the many years that I have been a Network Engineer.
Good Luck - Cheers,
M.

Since updating to 706 the sound on my ipad2 is not working right. On videos or music. There is constant distortion and what sounds like interference. Any ideas?

Since updating to 706 the sound on my ipad2 is not working right--on videos or music. There is distortion and some kind of interference at all times. Any ideas?

Has the unit EVER been jailbroke?
If "No," first try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. It could take well over an hour! Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow the on-screen directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod. As before, say "yes." Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time. If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device. Corrective action is simple - choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here. You WILL lose all of your data (game scores, etc,) but, for the most part, you can redownload apps and music without being charged again. Also, if you have IOS-7, read this.

I updated my ad to iOS 6 and now my App Store app does not work, how can I get it back

I updated my iPad 2 with the latest iOS 6 and now my App Store application does not work right. The only part that does work is the genius, and the purchased, but I cannot search for any new apps now have the categories come up. I don't know how else to search for apps, and I don't know how to download this as it was pre installed.

Have you tried restarting or resetting your iPad?
Restart: Press On/Off button until the Slide to Power Off slider appears, select Slide to Power Off and, after the iPad shuts down, then press the On/Off button until the Apple logo appears.
Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10 seconds). Ignore the "Slide to power off".

When I updated my iPhone to iOS 6.1.3, somehow the iTunes App did not make it back to my iPhone. So, I now have an iPhone without the iTunes App. All other apps are on my iPhone. How do I get back my iTunes App, so I can continue buying music and flix?

Check the General -> Restrictions settings and see if perhaps the iTunes app is turned off there. If not, the app may have been inadvertently moved to another home screen or dropped into a folder. Do a search for the app or try resetting the Home screen layout: Choose General > Reset, then tap Reset Home Screen Layout.
