Update to ios 8.2 problems

i am deathly afraid to update to ios 8.2 because I am reading that people are having multiple problems/issues and I do know that there is no going backward to go back to earlier ios so i am stuck hoping that a) folks have found workarounds b) a newer update will come along soon and bypass any problems or c) that the problems with update are now being fixed?  Anyone have any ideas on this or are you also waiting to get to the newer update? I have heard problems ranging from battery drain to frozen screens and other glitches.  my iphone 6 is working fine at this point with the prior ios update, but i do NOT want to invite new problems so I am trying to hang back. Also that whole apple watch advertisement that cannot be removed and is apparently embedded in this new ios update, any way to stop that, I am ocd enough so I don't want to deal with that.  lol

Not sure how to make reply, but even if using itunes ( which I do) and a lot of others, apparently folks still having problems with that update, and see articles in cnet and other tech sites.
There are many millions of iOS users. A very small percent are having problems at any given time. If you go to an emergency room, you'll see all the people in the waiting room are either sick or hurt. Does that mean everyone in the country is sick or hurt? Of course not. People come to tech support forums because they are having a problem. All the millions of people not having a problem are not here telling you that. Also, many people attribute problems to an iOS update that are, in fact, unrelated.
If you try to wait for a version of iOS that no one reports a problem with, you will wait forever.
iOS 8.2 works just fine on an iPhone 6. It's smaller than the version that immediately preceded it. Put the Apple Watch app in a folder with the other apps you don't use and forget about it.

  • Updating to iOS 6.1 problem

    When updating to iOS 6.1 this morning, my phone showed update complete, slide bar to continue....I do, and it goes back to the update complete.....it is just cycling. I'm not able to make a call.

    Hi,
    To solve the contacts problems try to create a "dummy" new contact. I have created new contact in the phone and all contacts appeared. Seems like the contacts app problem.
    Not sure about messages and other stuff..

  • Update to iOS 5.1 problem from a MacBook Pro

    Hi all,
    Today I've got my first problem with my MacBook Pro. I've tried to update my iPhone to iOS 5.1 but without success.
    First of all I am using Lion 10.7.3 which is up to date.
    The problems we're as following:
    1. Tried to update through iTunes, but I've got a pop-up message which tries to contact the iPhone Update Center and it stayed on my screen for about 2 hours without downloading anything.
    2. Tried to manually download the update from appdnld.apple.com and also without success. I've tried this using Safari and Firefox.
    After this I've tried downloading it from an Windows PC and surprise, I've managed to download it very easy.
    Does anybody know what am I missing?
    Also I've tried with OTA and also without succes. I've got the same message that says that the Update Center cannot be reached.
    Thanks in advance,
    Stefan

    sdascalu,
    As BBidwell said, that's what worked for me.  I've got an iPod Touch, changed the WiFi DNS settings, meaning erased the old settings [you may want to write them down before clearing them], and I used 8.8.8.8, 8.8.8.4 which worked perfectly.  I was able to update to iOS 5.1 using Update on the iPod.  Worked just fine.
    Hope this info helps you.

  • All my Apply gears updated to IOS 5 without problem except the iPHONE ?!

    I update my MacAir, my iPad to IOS 5 without any problem.  When I tried to do it to the iPhone, -23 error is found.  I've done reset, change the cable, switching on and off the phone or the Mac of no avail (everything listed in the self-help page).  Whatelse I can do to update my phone ?

    in order to restore your songs and apps, you should just reconnect to itunes and sync your data. your phone ran a backup before it upgraded, and you can also do a restore. but the key is still to go to your itunes and sync back to your phone what you wanted there in the first place.

  • Update to iOS 5 Signal Problems?

    hi, i was wondering if anyone experienced some signal problems after ios 5 update? I did and when i was using the beta, it gave me full bars and never dropped calls but after i updated to the final version, my calls started to drop and text messages wouldn't send or recieve. Just wondering if anyone else notices this? I think that the iOS 5 Beta 7 is better then this final version..

    I didn't notice any signal problems until today.  Today my phone (iPhone 4 AT&T) has become virtually unusable.  I upgraded on Wednesday and post upgrade didn't have any major problems other than the occasional application crash.  Today my phone will not hold onto a signal for more than 30 seconds.  Even if I'm sitting still, the signal drops and the phone goes into searching, no signal and finally reacquires and the cycle starts again.  Battery drain is rapid, I'm guessing because it's constantly having to go into signal search mode. Twice the phone has had a hard lockup today where only the home-top button press would resolve. 
    At this point, I would recommend people not upgrade their iPhone 4 to the new OS.  Stability is an issue in many apps and now this signal problem is making my smartphone feel quite stupid. 

  • Ipad 2 update to ios 8.1 problems

    I am new to Apple Support communities, so I wonder if this has been covered before.  I updated by ipad 2 to ios 8.1 and then 8.12.  Immediately after 8.1 I started having problems.  The main problems were with power buttons and now with communication with itunes.  It is currently non-functional.  I took it to the genius bar tonight and was told this is a "hardware" problem.  I doubt this for several reasons.  First the problems began IMMEDIATELY after updating to 8.1.  Second they offered me $75 for a trade in.  I could purchase a new ipad 2 for $249, so to get $75 trade for one with "hardware" issues makes NO sense.  Finally hardware needs instructions from the OS so how could one tell the difference between true hardware issues and "hardware issues" caused by defective drivers?
    Has anyone else had these problems and doe anyone have any suggestions?

    Which part "makes no sense"?  Do you think a $75 offer is too much or too little?  I think it's a whole lot.  Check this out (for the U.S. stores):

    You are saying you do not believe the Apple Store geniuses.  I guess that's your prerogative.  Obviously, they have the tools to make this determination.

  • I have 2 ipad 2s.  On the newer one I can log in and update to IOS 5 with no problem.  On the older one I get the message "Your Apple ID has been disabled."  Why does it work on one ipad and not on the other?

    I have 2 ipad 2s.  On the newer one I could log in and update to IOS 5 withno problem.  On the older one I get the message "Your Apple ID has been disabled." No other explanation.  Why can I log in on one ipad and I'm disabled on the other?

    Well, I spoke too soon.  Yes, I'm using the same account on both iPads, but I just changed my password for the umpteenth time and now I get the disabled message on both iPads.  Just yesterday I was able to upgrade one to IOS 5 but got the error message on the other.  I'm getting more confused by the minute.

  • After update to IOS 7x some apps are crashing a lot & system Reboots!

    After installing IOS 7.1.1 on 1 x iPhone 4 16GB, 3x iPhone 4s 64GB and 1 iPad mini 64GB, Apps started crashing which worked well on IOS 5.5 & IOS 6. After Updating to IOS 7, the problems started. Some of my favourite games like "Call Of Duty: Black Ops Zombies"and Avengers Initiative keep crashing at the start. "Call Of Duty" reported Low Memory even though I turned off Background App Refresh, Re-downloaded the Apps, performed full system reboot, enabled "Reduce Motion", enabled "Increase Contrast" and still no luck.  I have also deleted many of my Apps to free up storage space but still no improvement. Other problems major problems are that the screen freezes and Apps become unresponsive requiring a full system reboot. This happens very often and also when trying to update or download Apps the system crashes and often Reboots itself. I believe the main problem is with low memory because I ran an App called "Battery Doctor" which shows that 82% of the 512MB RAM is already been used before any Apps have even been started leaving only 89MB of free RAM which is hardly enough to run decent Games on. There are many occasions when FaceTime wouldn't allow Sign In and in iTunes Apps would revert to how they were after applying changes. When adding Contacts, changes would often revert back. Also I have noticed that the iPhone sometimes would display the wrong amount of free Storage space and it would sometimes show like 5GB available and then go to 0MB available and cause crashes during downloads. Another problem I found was that when Apps start up, a white patch shows on the screen temporarily which wasn't apparent before IOS 7x. When adding contacts I noticed that with "Increase Contrast" disabled, some of the entries added did not display while typing with the keyboard and the text was greyed out making it difficult to read what you are typing. Now I wish that I had not updated to IOS 7 as suggested because it has messed up my £700 iPhones and I don't see a way of downgrading without Jailbreaking making my phones worthless. We are very very upset and disappointed because we paid so much money for the devices and have not had them long. We do not want to buy a newer device just because of the update messing up our phones. Also I do not want to try and restore from a previous backup because the last few times I've tried and it does not restore everything. It is very time consuming and I am too ill to go through all that again on each device. Also I believe the restore does not give me the choice of going back to IOS 5.5 or IOS 6. Therefore if Apple could give the opportunity to update to IOS 5.5 or IOS 6 for older devices and have a separate update for IPhone 5s which have a faster processor and double RAM (1GB) then I would be very grateful.  I would also like to add the fact that IOS 7.x.x drains the battery very quickly. After reading the many complaints about IOS 7 update & my personal experience, I now regret updating and also fear that future updates may render my iPhones useless. I bought my iPhone 4s direct from Apple and paid a premium for Factory Unlocked iPhones. I think the iPhones may now be out of warranty and are very unhappy with this situation. Please, please please could you send a fix in another update!

    Actually DIESEL they do force you to update. my wife has not update hers yet to ios6 and none of the apps work at full tilt anymore because they are all updated for ios 6....Apple is now making you either update(and ruin your iphone 4s) or buy the new iphone 5(which i doubt will have any of the problems people with iphone 4s are having).
    Since updating my 4s i have lost signal, data has been very low at best. i can not access any apps or they open up and do not refresh. I use to have 4bars at my work and now i have 1.

  • Has anyone encountered drastic shorter battery life both on iphone 5 and ipad since updating to iOS 6.1.2? How can this problem be solved?

    Dear all,
    I am new to this community even though I have been a Apple user for years, so please forgive me if this question is not in the right section.
    Has anyone encountered drastic shorter battery life both on iphone 5 and ipad since updating to iOS 6.1.2? I've always been happy with these two products until the update - now the battery life is considerably shorter which is extremely frustrating.
    How can this problem be solved? Is there any way to go back to the previous version?
    Thanks for your help.

    If you update using iTunes the phone is first wiped clean, then the new OS is installed, and finally the backup is restored. After this finishes if you sync your music should be restored. Music is not in the backup, because it is already on your computer and duplicating it would use up a lot of hard disk space.
    An OTA update just patches what has changed; it does not disturb content.

    I just update to iOS 7 on my iPhone 4s. The calendars on my iPhone are not keeping the information on the days that should be marked.  The info is there in my iCloud on my computer, just not on my phone.   Has anyone else had the same problem and what can I do about it?  Is it at bug in the iOS 7 update?

    What do you mean by "on the days that should be marked"?  Are you calendar events displayed on the wrong days?

  • Ever since I updated to iOS 8 on iPhone 5, sometimes when I press the home button just once it will open the app switcher or even the assistive button. Anyone else have this problem? Is it an iOS 8 glitch? Please help - very annoying.

    I updated to iOS 8 on my iPhone 5 yesterday and now when I press the home button even once, it opens the app switcher (which is supposed to only open after pressing the home button twice quickly). Sometimes pressing the home button once even brings up the assistive button (which for me should take three button presses). This did not happen before I updated my software. Has anyone else had this issue? Know how to stop it? Very annoying and at this point feel like I should have waited before I did the update.

    Hello ..do you have a history on the phone? did you get it wet? was it dropped? have you been using an authentic ORIGINAL apple charging cable?
    this problem occurs when there is a short circuit  in the phone... you  most likely got  it wet at some point and maybe didnt even realize it? The moisture in the phone hasb probablly  oxidized one or several capacitors, integrated chips thereby short circuiting the phone. that is why he phone  is acting erratic because these short circuits inadvertently "activates" other circuits.. eventually the phone will not turn on anymore- the heat will stress the citcuit board and you will have discontinuity along your main power lines and the phone will cease to function..i see this alllll the time in our shop
    the fact you upgraded to ios6 will even work the phone harder because its a more powerful operating system taking full advantage of the A4 chip..

  • HT4623 Im having problems with my music ever since I got the ITunes Match, now I'm not able to listen to some songs and my ipod doesn't want to update the iOS saying something about my network and I'm hooked up to the internet?

    I was just have difficults in different things on my ipod touch 4th gene now that I have ITune Match and it not being able to update the iOS 6.1.5 and as to not sure of what I can do to get it to update and get all my songs back. Because right now I have at least 20 or 30 songs that I cant play now and I'm not sure why. I'm not even able to click on the songs and I wanted to see if there was a way to fix this without restore my ipod and starting over.

    Maybe this:
    Update Server
    Try:
    - Powering off and then back on your router.
    - iTunes for Windows: iTunes cannot contact the iPhone, iPad, or iPod software update server
    - Change the DNS to either Google's or Open DNS servers
    Public DNS — Google Developers
    OpenDNS IP Addresses
    - For one user uninstalling/reinstalling iTunes resolved the problem
    - Try on another computer/network
    - Wait if it is an Apple problem
