Updated to IOS 6.1 and now I message myself

I updated to IOS 6.1 on my 4S (finally) and now when I receive a text from a non-IOS user it comes as a group message one of the recipients being myself. When I reply I get my own message sent back to me. Why is this and how can I fix it?  Never did this before the update. Nothing has changed (all contacts are the same) except IOS 6 is now on my phone instead of the IOS my 4S came with.

Could you be more specific?  What in there will fix this issue?

  • My iphone 5c crashed after updating to IOS 8.02 and now i don't have anything from the last 3 months. What do I do?

    My iphone 5c crashed after updating to IOS 8.02 and now i don't have anything from the last 3 months. What do I do?

    Don't worry about that. iPhone stuck in recovery mode always happens when you update the iOS on your iPhone. There are two ways to solve it.
    First is is to put your iPhone in DFU mode.
    Step 1. Turn off iPhone
    Step 2. Hold down the Power and Home button.
    Step 3. When you see the Apple logo, release the power button but continue holding the Home button down.
    Step 4. Open iTunes and wait for it to tell you that it’s in restore mode.
    If DFU mode can't solve the problem, I'm afraid the only solution is to try some 3rd party software, like iPhone data recovery or something like that. You may simply try the tutorial here: How to Fix iPhone that is Stuck in Recovery Mode.

  • I updated to iOS 8.2 and now can't use iMessage.  Keeps telling me my password is not correct, but continues to do so after changing it.

    Updated to iOS 8.2 and now iMessage won't work. I disabled 2-step verification, changed password, but still no go.  What gives?

    Hello David,
    Thank you for contributing to the Apple Support Communities.
    It sounds like you're not able to use iMessage on your iPad. You've tried some good troubleshooting steps, and I'd recommend these additional steps:
    Turn off iMessage and FaceTime and restart
    Go to Settings > Messages and turn off iMessage.
    Go to Settings > FaceTime and turn off FaceTime.
    Restart your device.
    Turn iMessage and FaceTime back on.
    Still not activated after an hour? 
    It might take a few minutes to activate iMessage and FaceTime. If you've waited more than an hour, try these steps:
    Make sure that your device has the latest version of iOS.
    If you're using an iPhone, contact your carrier to make sure that you can receive SMS messages.
    Contact Apple Support.
    From:
    If you get an error when trying to activate iMessage or FaceTime - Apple Support
    Best Regards,

  • I did an update to iOS 4.2 and now several of my applications won't open. My iBook shelf is empty and won't open. I click on it and it just flashes and closes. What is the problem?

    I did an update to iOS 4.2 and now several of my apps won't work. Help!

    The very first thing you should try is a simple reset. Hold down on the sleep button and the home button at the same time for about 10 seconds until the Apple logo appears on the screen, let go of the buttons and let the iPad restart.
    If you haven't restarted your iPad in a while this can really help.
    If this doesn't help, then you can try removing the problem apps and reinstalling them.
    Retired Engineer makes a good point.  It would be a good idea to update your software.

  • I just updated to ios 6.1 and now my cellular data is not working

    I just updated to ios 6.1 and now my cellular data is not working

    UPDATE: Ok, I just got back from the Apple store and I've performed a full restore. The good news is that the restore did allow cellular data to work again, restoring as new and restoring an iCloud backup both worked fine. I also tried everything Apple suggests on the http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3780 an only restoring had any effect. Even though that worked for me, I went Ahead and went to the Apple store because this problem had already occurred with me, but only intermittently (requiring frequent resets); the 6.1 update seemed to just make it more 'permanent' so to speak. after the tech tested it with a known-good SIM compared to a new iphone 5, he observed the same stalled cellular data, so my iPhone was swapped out. Hope this helps.
    Cheers

  • Updated my iOS on iTunes and now iTunes cannot locate my iPad 2

    I couldn't update my iOS 4.3.5 because I could not locate the update button on my iPad 2 so I went on my computer and in to my iTunes and updated the iOS 7.0 and also updated my iTunes to 11.  Now my iPad 2 says HELLO and I followed the instructions, but when I restore from my iTunes, I can't get very far.  When I went on my computer and into iTunes, now it says that my iPad 2 is no longer there and my movies/books that I purchased are unable to locate. 
    What can I do to get my iPad 2 working again.  At one point on my iPad 2, it asks if I want to enter it as a new iPad 2, restore from iCloud or restore from iTunes, should I enter it as a new iPad 2?
    I would appreciate any help.

    If on mac try going into Applications click on
    Image Capture.app
    at bottom click open iphone in Iphoto, click apply

  • My ipad updated to IOS 7 today and now some of my apps are not working properly

    I updated my ipad to IOS7 and now some of my apps are not functioning correctly.  Is there anyway to revert back to previous software?

    I assume that you are familiar with your iPad's portrait orientation lock feature and you have verified your iPhone is not locked in this manner.
    In case you're not familiar, please make sure this icon does not appear on your iPad's status bar:
    If your iPad is not in portrait orientation lock, then the app developer should be prodded into updating their app to fix this defect.  Generally speaking, the App Store indicates a way to contact the developer to inform them of such defects.

  • Updated to iOS 6.1 and now have a framed gray screen and phone not functioning

    Updated to iOS 6.1 this morning and since, my iphone 4S has had a gray sceen w vertical lines. I've reset, restored, everything I could possibly do by googling, etc... Am out of options and would appreciate any help... Thank you!

    Or someone please, put me out of my misery... I've wasted most of the day trying to fix this bc I rely on it for work and don't have time to take it somewhere. SOOOO frustrating. Am I out of luck? Its a weird gray screen with a faded border. iTunes seems to think everything is fine... I guess it could be just a screen thing. Doesn't make sense why it would happen after an update. So wish I could just go back to previous version. any educated input would be greatly appreciated.

    Try to restore your iphone via iTunes or update to ios6.1.2.
    If itunes gives an error with restoring (DFU/Recovery or just normal)
    try this:
    open your computer and search on windows; C://windows/system32/drivers/etc/hosts
    open up the hosts file in note pad you will see IP adresses and more add another line and put in this:
    #74.208.10.249 gs.apple.com
    this is a by-pass to the cydia/saurik restore server, it has nothing to do with jailbreaking over voiding apple's warranty
    let me know if succeeded!

  • I have updated to IOS 8.2 and now I can not update my apps?

    I can not update apps after having downloaded IOS 8.2. Need assistance to fix problem. Only way I have been able to work around is by updating by using itunes and connecting my phone to my MacBook Air.

    So when you attempt to update, all you set is a spinning circle? What troubleshooting have you tried? User troubleshooting steps are restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as new. I doubt you will have to go that far. But you can start with the restart, which is just powering the phone off/on. A reset is holding the sleep/wake and home buttons together until you see the Apple logo and then release. The phone will reboot. Test after that. Are you able to get into the App Store and search for apps or anything else?

  • I updated to iOS 5.0 and now only certain songs are playing on my iPod

    I have a few songs on my iPod that aren't playing, you touch the song, and then the iPod freezes and crashes and will bring you to one of 3 places: the lock screen (slide to unlock), back to my playlists menu, or to my first page of Apps. It just started happening with the iOS 5 update. At first I figured, "probably some corruption while updating, no biggie I'll just restore." (note that all of my songs work on my MacBook Pro), but after restoring and then checking a song that I knew for sure wasn't working before it still isn't working.
    Notes: It won't work in any of my playlists OR in the preset, "songs", "artists", "albums", etc. lists.

    Firefox 4 was bad but Firefox 5 is awful !!
    It's slow to start, hangs, everything seems to take forever to do and i've never had so many page errors ... which i think is due to the time it takes to get things to load.
    Firefox 3 was great, why have we been landed with this millstone around our ankles ??
    I have another laptop still running the old FF and it's positively rapid compared to FF5.
    If things dont improve SOON i'll be going elsewhere for a browser. Just can't be doing with this, just makes everything so slow and unstable.
    Come on Mozilla - get it sorted !!

  • I update to ios 7.1 and now it will not sync up to itune. my itunes is up to date my computer will pick up my iphone but itunes

    Thanks, jimimac 60, I wasn't seeing the dialog ("Do you trust this computer?") no matter what I did, so I turned off wifi sync in itunes and the device synched over the cable.

  • My iPod is stuck in recovery mode after failing to update to iOS 8.whatever and now won't connect to iTunes to restore?

    So yeah, got an iPod touch for Christmas and it's pretty much bricked it and I haven't even had it for a full month yet. Not amused. I've tried everything from reinstalling everything Apple related on my laptop to external programs that promise to kick that thing out of recovery mode. If there's any other way to fix it I'd love to know considering it won't show up in iTunes at all so there's no way for me to restore it. This is my first Apple product and I haven't found a solution to a problem that I've found dates back as far as 2012 with no semblance of a way to fix it. Though I've seen ways to fix each problem separately it appears you need one thing to be working to fix the other which is an issue.
    Okay I'm just ranting to but help would be appreciated

    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 another cable                     
    - 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.
