Touch ID often fails after iOS 7.0.3/7.0.4 updates

Hi!
Am I the only one having issues with Touch ID after updating to iOS 7.0.3/7.0.4? I'm having hard times trying to store my fingerprints and then using them to unlock my phone. As a matter of fact, I'm often forced to use the unlock code instead of my fingerprints to access the device.
My iPhone is fine just as it was before updating to iOS 7.0.3. My Touch ID worked fine since this update.
Anyone else with the same problem?
Greetings from Italy!

APPLE DOCKING STATION NO LONGER WORKS WITH TOUCH 3G and 4G after ios 4.2.1

APPLE DOCKING STATION NO LONGER WORKS WITH TOUCH 3G and 4G after ios 4.2.1 update.
I have both of these touches. I updated both 3g and 4g to ios 4.2.1 and poof...no docking station support other than charging, no audio and no remote function. My av/cable works with the tv, and the headphone jack still outputs audio, just no auido through the Apple dock and hte remote is dead. I purchased the dock from the apple store last year and it was working with both ipod 3g and 4g grrrrr...
Is Apple now in the bug trade business?, trade one for another....
Anyone else have this problem?

My iPod Touch 3G running 4.2.1 works fine with the Apple docking station.
Perhaps you have a loose cable somewhere and/or a dead battery in your controller?

No WIFI after iOS 5.0.1 over-the-air update on original iPad

No WIFI after iOS 5.0.1 over-the-air update on original iPad. I have reset the network settings, power off the iPad, trying static IP and nothing, it's unable to join my wifi network. anybody with the same issue?

Great! Thanks, this works.
I have an old Linksys WRT54G in it I can select WPA Personal and AES as algorithm--it works for me (though maybe just changing to anything works! but I will not try anything different since I have spent already so much time with this problem.) Again, thanks for the solution Juan.

Touch screen not responding after iOS 7.0.2 update

This morning I updated my iPhone 4s with the iOS 7.0.2. After the update I was prompted with the "Hello > slide to set up" screen, but when I tried to "slide it" nothing happened. I tried many times with my finger and a stylus, but still nothing. The screen eventually went black as it does when there is no activity. When I press the home button the "slide to set up" screen reappears. I tried holding the power button down, but couldn't "slide to power off". I restarted it by pressing the hold and home buttons at the same time, after the restart it went back to the "slide to set up" screen. The touch screen was working just fine up until the update. Please help me figure out what's wrong with my phone!

I'm sorry to hear about the issues that you've recently ran into with your device. I'll do everything I can to ensure you have a working device.
Do you have iTunes on your computer? Have you done a restore since the issue has been going on? http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414

IPhone 5S fingerprint reader fails after iOS 7.0.3 upgrade

Hi all.
I recently updated my iPhone 5S to IOS 7.0.3 and ever since then, I am struggling to unlock my phone every time. I press the home button and then I used to just leave my finger on the button and it would unlock. Now it just doesn't seem to recognise my finger is even there.
I lift my finger off and put it on again and nothing. I lift my finger off and actually press the button again and leave my finger there and sometime it unlocks, sometimes it doesn't. It doesn't even say "try again" it simply doesn't recognise I'm trying to unlock it. I'm ready to chuck the bloody thing at the wall!!
Has anybody else experienced this problem since updating to IOS 7.0.3?

I bought my iPhone 5s a few days ago. It came with 7.0.3. It works 100% of the time, but people were having trouble with it when they went from 7.0.2 to 7.0.3. A lot of times, when doing an upgrade, the fingerprint scanner problem can be solved with some simple troubleshooting skills:
Troubleshooting steps:
First, if you have never rebooted your phone after the update, it helps to reset your phone. This is just pressing and holding the home button + power button until the apple logo comes on the screen (the phone will power off and then on. When Apple logo appears, you can let go of both buttons).
If fingerprint scanner is still hit and miss, you should redo your finger prints by go to settings->general->touch id & passcode->touch id. Delete all saved fingerprints (swipe to the left and press delete). Add fingerprints again.
If it still doesn't work or still hit and miss, you can always reinstall the ios. This can be googled. For me, it is too much trouble, so I go to the next step..
Finally, if that's still no good, you can always take it back to the apple store. The warranty on it is a full year so it is free for them to just look at it and tell you if it's a hardware problem. I know cuz I have replaced my iPad, iPhone, and even my macbook this way. No, I don't do it on purpose, but apple products has flaws too. Especially if it is a hardware problem, I need it replaced - and since it is still under warranty, it is replaced for free. So I don't hesitate to stick it in their face. Well, don't be mean about it though. Just say it like it is without the attitude and they will do what they can to help you fix it.
Tips: when you replace your phone, they may or may not give you a "refurbished" phone. That's the only thing I don't like about replacing my apple things. BUT since iPhone 5s is so new, the chances of you receiving a refurbished phone is quite slim... Or so I was told. So don't wait.

Ipod Touch not getting detected after IOS upgrade.

I have recently upgraded the firmware of my Ipod Touch (1G) to IOS 3.0.1 and was successful in upgrading.
The issue i am facing is that my ipod touch is not getting detected after reconnecting and the ipod touch is not getting switched on...it is just showing the apple symbol and the progress bar.
Please let me know if anyone has faced similar type of issue.
Please also let me know the resolution for this.

Are you using a USB hub? Try connecting the iphone directly to the computer's USB port and see if that makes a difference.
Also, with the upgrade, this seems to happen a lot. Most of the time if it is not the USB issue above, it can be resolved by simply redownloading Itunes and installing it on top of your current installation.

Close gesture fails after IOS 8

Hi everyone! I've just started using this forum. I have an IPAD Air and since i updated it to the ios 8, i start having some "gestures" preblems.
The thing is simply. When I try to close an app using the 4 fingers gesture, it just ignores it. So, i am forced to use the home button.
As a temporary fix, I drop down the notification center. After I drag it down, and then up, this issue seems to be corrected.
I usually experience this bug after a short sleep period.
Anyone else experienced the same??
Im using IOS: 8.0.2 (12A405)

Same here with a 1m cable. Another 1m cable is working just fine. One came with the iPhone when I bought it, the other I bought separately, but I couldn't tell now which one is which. I upgraded to 8.2 last night. Apple, what the f**k are you doing?

Backup and restore to Factory Default.
Do not restore from backup until you have thoroughly tested the iPad.

Ipod Touch 5th gen won't sync after iOS update

iPod Touch will not sync after iOS 7 update. It's stucked at "changes are being applied" and won't go past that point. Tried 5 times and got the same problem. I have the latest iTunes installed.

Try a cold reboot of your phone / iPod. I.e. hold power + home button until it reboots.
Worked for me.

Pairing devices fails after install of osx 10.8.5.. It fails at my Iphone and Ipad touch during the pairing about 5 seconds after I confirm the 6 digit number. Does this make sense? Thanks for considering this.

The following entry may indicate a failing harddrive, so doing backups and replacing the harddrive may be in order.
Disk Information:
TOSHIBA MK7559GSXF disk0 : (750,16 GB)
S.M.A.R.T. Status: Failing <-----------
A little bit about drive S.M.A.R.T. status:
"The most basic information that SMART provides is the SMART status. It provides only two values: "threshold not exceeded" and "threshold exceeded". Often these are represented as "drive OK" or "drive fail" respectively. A "threshold exceeded" value is intended to indicate that there is a relatively high probability that the drive will not be able to honor its specification in the future: that is, the drive is "about to fail". The predicted failure may be catastrophic or may be something as subtle as the inability to write to certain sectors, or perhaps slower performance than the manufacturer's declared minimum."

Touch Screen unresponsive after iOS 8 update

My 1 year old 64GB iPhone 5 touch screen started to become unresponsive after iOS 8 update
It's not consistent. Touch screen functionality will seize whilst phone is being used for either answering calls, typing messges, surfing, gaming etc and won't become responsive until it is turned off and on again (via power button). Home button is functioning with no problems.
As the phone is now out of its warranty period I want to verify if it's the OS that's causing this or do I actually have a hardware issue.

I have the same issue. iPhone 5, 1 year-old, not even a scratch.
Sometimes my touch screen works, sometimes not. When it works, it is just for some seconds, then some phantom touches start to happen all over the screen, but specially, when i'm typing, it types z or m, when I try to type something in, and it receives it, it will act as z or m again....
If I switch off my screen and switch on again... sometimes it will work, sometimes it wont... veeery unstable.
I considered downgrading to 7.1.2 but since I heard it is ilegal I decided to wait for a new iOS release.... any suggestions? (already wiped it and the issue continued...)
Is it really not recommended to downgrade it and have my phone funcionalities back?
