Text messaging after the new software update
i have not been able to text out since the update, it sits forever in the message window and i can type the message i want to send but when i hit send nothing happens, it sits for a few minutes and then says "failed to save message" .
then goes blank. i have power cycled, and i have waited and i tried plugging in the device and trying again, nothing. It has alwys used up my entire battery that was a full 100% at 7 am and down to 20% by 9 am and all i did was try and sent a text message...WTH is going on with it?
Hi and Welcome to the Community!
With a strong carrier network signal (e.g., not merely WiFi), I suggest the following steps, in order, even if they seem redundant to what you have already tried (step 1 should result in a message coming to your BB...please wait for that before proceeding to the next step):
1) Register HRT
KB00510 How to register a BlackBerry smartphone with the wireless network
Please wait for one "registration" message to arrive
2) Reboot
Pre-BB10 Devices ONLY. With power ON, remove the back cover and pull out the battery. Wait about a minute then replace the battery and cover. Power up and wait patiently through the long reboot -- ~5 minutes.
BB10 Devices. Hold the top button down until the counter reaches zero. Wait for the device to be fully shut down (e.g., nothing at all displayed on the screen, no LED lights, etc.). Hold the top button until the red LED is lit. Wait through the full boot-up process. IF this fails, you can attempt the battery-pull method above, but it is normally NOT recommended unless nothing else works.
See if things have returned to good operation. Like all computing devices, BB's suffer from memory leaks and such...with a hard reboot being the best cure.
Hopefully that will get things going again for you! If not, then you might want to try a clean OS reload via AutoLoader:

I am trying to hook up my iPhone 5 to my Onkyo TX-8050 receiver and it is not recognizing the phone. It recogized my phone prior to software update 7.1.2 and I can use an iPhone 4 and iPad with no issues. Is there a setting I need to apply for the reciever to recognize?
Im presently on the Phone with Apple the Lady Im talking to understands its the id and not the password. I finally got somebody that listened to me. Wow and she is plesent to talk to.

Hello There,
please help, I have been trying to get my ipad to work again for hours without luck.
After running the new software update on my ipad 2, I started having issues; device turned off by itself, apps couldn't be downloaded, etc (however it was at least working).
Being frustrated with the newly born issues, I decided to restore the ipad, hoping that would solve the issue, however I ended up with the black screen telling me to connect to iTunes and when I connect and go for restore, I get error message 4013 and 21. I tried re-installing iTunes, upgrading my opp system, but nothing,
Please help!!! Very annoying!!!
ThxYou say "USB can't be the issue...". I disagree. There are thresholds, etc. Maybe the iPhone passes some threshold, but the iPad does not.
You might reboot all devices. If that does not cure it, then check the TS3694 article I attached above. -
I have a Iphone 4 and after the last software update iOS.0.4, my phone is no longer connecting to the wifi at my house.
My MacBook Air is connected and my roommates phones are also connected, but my iphone that always was connected to the same network is no longer connecting to the wifi.
The network is shown on the device but I can't join it.
Whats going on? Does someone know how to solve this issue?
Thank you!Problem persisted after fixes were done so wife called apple today. Their fix is to turn cellular off when in the house and turn it back on when she leaves- the 4 doesn't keep the password so she has to enter the password too... This wasn't a fix ...it's just resolving the connection problem... They also said that they made ios6 have security features so nobody can hack into the wifi without having the password and it has to be entered to use the wifi. My 5 and the iPads stay on with no problems. It's just the 4. So far so good...she's had wifi all day when home. It's inconvenient but it's either completely reboot it with iTunes (which doesn't work for her) or buy a new phone and she won't do that either.
So...Apple is saying that she didn't have to do the updates either and could've stayed with the previous iOS but !!!too late now!!! We've updated because we think our phones will run better but the ios6 just made it a pita for users
I wonder if the hackers of the world are having as many issues as the peeps who are just trying to use their wifi?? -
I tried to update my iPhone 5 this morning with the new software update. Now my phone won't turn on. When I plug into iTunes, it says that my phone is in recovery mode and that it needs to be restored to factory settings. Is there a way to fix this without losing my settings? Why would this happen on a software update?

itunes says i cannot update the phone as it is in recovery mode.
That is not what it says. Read the message again. It's telling you it has detected an iPhone in recovery mode and it must be restored.
Restore it. You don't have a choice at this point. -
IPhoto slideshow is very very very slow after the latest software update
As the subject states, iPhoto slideshows are very slow: after clicking on the slideshow-button first nothing happens, after a while the screen goes black (that lasts about a minute or so) and the (finally) the slideshow starts. which is very annoying because it displays no options screen at first as it used to do, it just starts using very annoying standard music... quitting slideshow again to go to the options menu takes ages!! this problem started after the latest software update... way to go Apple...
suggestions anyone?!EelcoR
Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
Well I haven’t seen this problem.
Start with the troubleshooting basics:
1. Delete the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder. (Remember you'll need to reset your User options afterwards. These include minor settings like the window colour and so on. Note: If you've moved your library you'll need to point iPhoto at it again.)
2. Repair Permissions using Disk Utility
3. Create a new account (systempreferences -> accounts) and see if the problem is repeated there. If it is, then a re-install of the app might be indicated. If it's not, then it's likely the app is okay and the problem is something in the main account.

fter updating my IOS TO 8.1 (12B411) on 10/23/14, I went to update my blood sugar level in the IHealth app. And now after the new IOS update I'm unable to find the blood glucose option in the IHealth app. Did Apple remove it or just mess up AGAIN?
Apple removed blood glucose until further notice. The reason behind this is that it gave a distorted picture in countries where the medical world used other measuring units. I suspect it will be available again in a future update.

Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for $199 for 64 GB 4G and $99 for the other 4Gs. They do not fix yours.

My Ipad has a black background now and everything is color faded after the latest software update? I restored and reset the Ipad. How can this be fixed?
How much data is being backed-up from each Mac? (see what's shown for Estimated size of full backup under the exclusions box in Time Machine Prefs > Options).
Is there any other data on your Time Capsule, besides the backups?
Most likely, there just isn't room. Time Machine may be trying to do a very large (or full) backup of one or both Macs, and can't. Since it won't ever delete the most recent backup, there has to be enough room for one full backup plus whatever it's trying to back up now, plus 20% (for workspace).
Also see #C4 in Time Machine - Troubleshooting for more details. -
It seems after the latest software update, my iphone 4 has issues with the phone and voicemail locking up as well as opening random apps. Any thoughts?
Hi clintfromid,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. I would recommend closing all your apps and restarting and maybe resetting as good initial troubleshooting steps for this:
iOS: Force an app to close

iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1430
Cheers,

How do you close apps you hve looked at with the new software update?? You used to have to double click the home button and the apps would come up to delete bu that doesn't happen anymore.
The apps in the multitaskbar should appear like pages on the whole display. To close them, just swipe from the bottom to the top. you can select single apps for closing, when you swipe them like you would swipe your homescreens.
