The IOS 6 update killed my battery.

Only a night after installing the new IOS update, i noticed my iphone acting very strange. I had it at 100% battery in the morning, and not an hour later it had depleted by over 50% and was draining rapidly in front of my eyes. However, once it reached one percent, it didn't die. Instead i was able to use my phone ALL DAY..... though it says its on one percent. But the problem is when i tried to restore it to undo my mistake of updating, it shut down, and is stuck on the charging battery screen, still in the red at suppossedly 1% battery, and wont charge. My computer no longer recognizes my iphone and when it occassionally DOES seem to work, it still insists that i only have one percent battery even if i can use it for hours. I'm very concerned, since i paid a lot for my phone, and its very new, and all my friends are having the same problem. I want a guarenteed fix, since i cannot afford to send it away for repair and get it replaced, especially if it's Apple's fault for it breaking and not mine. Please, im desperate to use my phonee again!!!

Battery issues are sometime difficult to solve. To trouble-shoot, you can Restore iPhone on computer with iTunes and at end when prompted, Set Up as New iPhone. See if better. If still problem, all iPhone 4S have full Warranty, make Genius Reservation and take iPhone to Apple for resolution.

  • I deleted my music through the "manage storage" section in the options to make room for the ios update awhile back. Now I can't get any music back onto my device through itunes. (I've tried restoring the device twice to no avail)

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • The iOS update methods I use for error free updates

    I hope this helps some folks. I am not saying this is the 100% tried and true method but I have upgraded quite a few iPhones and never experienced an error or issue upgrading the software when following below method.
    1) If iOS 4 or greater, double-tap Home button to bring up running app list and hold first app to get jiggling and kill all apps one at a time until task bar is blank.
    2) Put iPhone into Airplane mode. (this will ensure that an incoming phone call, text message or push message won't interrupt the update)
    3) Do a graceful power-off by holding Top sleep button until red "slide to power off" then slide to power phone off and allow phone to fully shut down.
    4) Now press and hold Top sleep button and Home button at same time and continue holding both. The phone will begin to boot and you will see Apple logo but while continuing to hold both buttons the Apple logo will eventually go away and phone will seem to power back off but KEEP HOLDING BOTH BUTTONS and phone will power up again and Apple logo will popup again. KEEP HOLDING BOTH BUTTONS and phone will power down for good this time. When you release both buttons the phone should stay powered off. If phone begins to boot/power up when releasing buttons, you have not held them long enough. (Note: This power off/reboot sequence is very handy to remember for when your iPhone starts acting weird.)
    5) Press Top sleep button to turn phone back ON.
    6) Hook to your computer and Sync with iTunes and also create a Backup of phone in iTunes.
    7) Now update your phone with the iOS update and it should run smoothly.
    Thanks goes out to "TITNTUFF" for suggesting the Airplane Mode.

    The method i use is this, every new update apple comes out with, i always DFU mode my iphone, and do a clean install of the iOS. This to ensure that I don't get any problems when updating my iphone. I have done this all previous models and never had any issues.
    DFU will take some time but for me it's worth it. Airplane mode is a good way to this.

  • How do I fix the album art on my iPod? It has been scrabbled due to the iOS update.

    My iPod touch 5th generation has had two problems come up since the iOS update; I regret updating because I was happy with how it was before. The album art has been scrabbled on my iPod; it has placed album art that goes with other songs to the wrong song or has album art I've never seen before.  My iPod also has a problem with music now. I've noticed that I am unable to play music that I once could. Some have an iCloud or stop symbol next to it and I can not listen to them. I notice that while it plays my music on shuffle, while looking at the screen and song, it will skip through about 2-5 or more songs as if it's not allowed to play it. I am very irratated with these problems. Everything was all dandy before these updates. Any feedback would be very helpful and I thank you.

    next try
    - Unsync all music and resync
    - Restore from backup. See:

    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.             

  • Trying to update my iPhone 4 from iOS 5.1.1 to 6.1 via iTunes.When I click the "Update" button, I just get a message saying the iTunes is at the current version (6.1), but no action re the iOS update.

    I'm trying to update my iPhone 4 from iOS 5.1.1 to 6.1. When I try to do this using iTunes on my MacBook Pro (OS X v 10.5.8), with my iPhone in its cradle, clicking the "Update" button in Tunes gets a message saying "This version of iTunes (10.6.1) is the current version." I can't get the iOS update to download.
    When I try to update to the iPhone directly, I get a message saying "iOS 6.0.1 failed verification because you are no longer connected to the Internet" at the Verifying Update step. I noticed that this message refers to iOS 6.0.1, even though I want to update to 6.1. It is possible that, a few weeks ago, I may have downloaded but not installed v 6.0.1.
    Thanks for any help with this problem

    I tried powering down and re-starting the iPhone (as suggested at http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1275). This seems to have cleared the "...not connected to the Internet" problem, and iOS 6.1 is now in the process of downloading.
    Thanks very much for your feedback.

    Where do you find the iOS update?

    iTunes will automatically get the iOS firmware for your iPhone.

  • HT4539 How do ypu perform the "IOS update" required to get ringtones on my cell?

    How do I perform the "IOS update" required to get ringtones on my cell?  I can't figure it out through the ITunes store....

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    If an update is available for your device, connect it to iTunes and use the update feature.
    However, you do not need to update your device in order to use ringtones. Simply select the ringtones you wish to sync to your device from the Tones tab in iTunes on your computer when your device is connected to it, and perform a sync.

  • I have an iPhone 4S with Sprint, I had to replace my last phone after the newest update killed my wifi button. Now my new phone won't get 3G at all. I have tried turning my phone off/on, resetting my networks, and turning airplane mode off and on.

    I have an iPhone 4S with sprint. I had to replace my phone after the new update killed my wifi button and wouldn't let me turn my phone off. Since I've had my new phone, I haven't been getting 3G. I have tried resetting my networks, Turing airplane mode off/on and restarting my phone. Nothing seems to work. Any info on what I should do next would be great.

    If you have set this phone up, then there would not necessarily be a solution here until you have been verify with the provider that everything is provisioned correctly on their end. Since the 3G comes from your cellular provider, if the settings are correct on the phone, then you should work with the carrier next.

    Hi ..
    Try a reset.
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    If that doesn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings
