The IOS 8 update on my Ipad has repeatedly frozen my iPad and caused me endless loss of work and grief.

Should I just finally throw in the towel and stop spending more money on Apple Products for defectiveness? I have had to replace iPods because Apple wants to charge me the same price for a replacement battery as the price of the ipod, the battery only lasts one year. Yet, I have bought hundreds of itune songs. They don't care, they want to charge me for outrageous battery replacement prices. The adapter cords start wearing out on my iPad within weeks of useage, thus requiring me to buy more replacements for them. Now, the IOS 8 update has caused my Ipad 2 to freeze over and over, causing me to lose stuff I was working on. Why are Apple products so bad when it comes to quality and they treat us like open wallets when it comes to the way they treat us when it is the company's fault. Microsoft has never treated me like this when it comes to their product defects and replacements.

IOS 8.1.1 Even Worse Than IOS 8.1 For IPad - There is simply no end to the catastrophe that Apple has created for my IPad 2 and for thousands of other folks as well with the IOS 7, and now IOS 8.1 and today, IOS 8.1.1. Now, my photo album is completely frozen and Safari freezes constantly and as done nearly every other app. Firstly, there should not be these kind of breakdowns in a $500 device that is not even two years old, much less ALL of the problems are being created by the defective system updates being released by the manufacturer of the product, Apple. Apple should be forced to buy new devices for all of us who now have unusable devices due to product defects being created by Apple. It is highly, highly unlikely that I will ever buy another expensibe Apple product and their refusal to fix the mess they have caused me borders on violations of Fair Trade Laws. What a shame Apple has done this to me and other long term Apple customers. A real shame! I am warning every friend I can not to buy any new Apple products. And I have a lot of friends, 600,000 of them on my various blogs and email accounts.

  • HT4972 My phone is not responding since I downloaded the IOS update 7, I am locked out of using my iPhone, I enter my 4 digit number and a screen appears saying Joining "Sherry's Wi-Fi Network" but nothing else is happening and I can't use me phone.

    An update from Apple appeared on my iPhone so I downloaded it, it was an IOS update.  The screen said to swipe to open, then enter a 4 digit number, which I did then it went to a screen asking for my network info which I entered (except I guessed at the security as being "WPA2", I have not idea, I entered my password and now the only screen that will appear is one stating it is Joining my stated Network??? but nothing is happening and I can't use any of my iPhone features at all?  Help

    Go back to the previous page.  If there's no available wireless networks listed except "Other" which is manually putting the wireless network information, see if you have "activate using cellular" or "connect to iTunes" option.

  • 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.

    Recently downloaded the iOS Update on Ipad and I am unable to stream any videos on any websites which I have done in the past. I cannot watch a youtube video or any videos on instagram or facebook. Can anyone assist?

    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

    Both of you should update to iOS 6 and then you will be
    the same if you have the same  model iPhone.

  • The software update on my Mac has frozen it completely

    The software update on my Mac has frozen it completely at the grey screen. I have tried everything to exit it and nothing is working! Help please!!! I've tried alt command esc, forcing the computer to shut off then restart, letting the power drain, nothing. I can't get the computer to even give me the beach ball of doom, it's this grey circle of perpetual nothing.

    Hello Heatherb90,
    It sounds like you are unable to boot your computer after a recent software update. I would use the following troubleshooting from the article named:
    Mac OS X: Gray screen appears during startup
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2570
    Disconnect, test peripheral devices and network cables
    Note: "Peripheral devices" refers to external devices other than what came with your Mac, such as hard drives, printers, or hubs that you connect via a USB or FireWire cable.
    Shut down your Mac. If necessary, hold your Mac's power button for several seconds to force it to power down.
    Disconnect all peripheral devices such as external hard drives or printers (leave only the display, a keyboard, and mouse connected).
    Disconnect any Ethernet cables.
    Start up your Mac.
    If you can start up this way, one or more of your peripheral devices (or installed software related to the device) is probably causing the gray screen issue. Connect one device, then restart your Mac to test for the issue. Repeat the process until you locate the device at issue. Make sure the device is powered if it needs to be to operate correctly. Check with the manufacturer of the device for support or possible software driver or firmware updates that may be available for the device. Try a different cable with the device if possible (such as a different USB or FireWire cable).
    Note: If you have multiple peripheral devices and the issue only occurs when they are all connected, but not when each device is the only peripheral connected, see the Additional Information section below.
    If you are using a desktop Mac with a third-party keyboard and/or mouse device, and the issue still occurs, try starting up with an Apple keyboard and mouse connected instead. Try starting with no keyboard and mouse connected, then connect them after start up. Also, try a different USB port on your Mac.
    If the gray screen issue persists with no devices connected, go to the next section (with the peripherals still disconnected).
    Start with this troubleshooting and work your way down the article as needed.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    All the best,
    Sterling

  • My ipad has completley frozen, I restored it, but still nothing, any idea what the problem could be ?

    My ipad has completley frozen, I've restored it, but still nothing, any ideas ?

    I think that maybe Gail is thinking about using a computer since there is no mouse to use with an iPad
    What you describe is pretty typical of system sounds being muted, with the exception of the fact that you still have sound in FB videos, but take a look at this anyway. System sounds and screen lock use the same pair of settings. When one uses the side switch, the other is controlled with a software switch.
    Settings>General>Use Side Switch to: Mute System sounds. If this option is selected, the switch on the side of the iPad above the volume rocker will mute system sounds.
    If you choose Lock Screen Rotation, then the switch locks the screen. If the screen is locked, you will see a lock icon in the upper right corner next to the battery indicator gauge.
    If you have the side switch set to lock screen rotation then the system sound control is in the control center if you are running iOS 7. Swipe up from the bottom of the screen to get to control center . Tap on the bell icon and system sounds will return.
    If you are running iOS 5 or iOS 6, the system sound control is in the task bar at the bottom. Double tap the home button and swipe all the way to the right in the task bar to get to the speaker icon on the left side. Tap on that and the sounds will return.
    If you have the side switch set to mute system sounds, then the screen lock can be accessed in the same manner as described above.
    This support article from Apple explains how the side switch works.

  • 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.

  • 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)

    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
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - 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.
