Haha - 4.1 or 4.0.1. Whatever. I think most of us here have relatively low post counts which indicate a high volume of 'newbieness'.This forum wouldnt exist in the first place without all the multiple problems that seem to be prevelant and people wouldnt come here with so many of them.
As a first time Apple iPhone buyer this will likely be my last so the os makes no difference right now to anyone posting here.
Not a great experience.
It is unfortunate that people are having problems with the iPhone 4. Thankfully, I am one of those that have relatively few problems and would never go back to my 3GS (which is now housed permanently in my iKicker 501 and working as a 'iPod Touch').
However, the iOS 4.1 release is eagerly awaited by many that post in these forums because it it expected that all of the problems that can be fixed in software will be fixed by that release. We'll just have to wait to see.
And there are ways to get the iPhone out of recovery mode. Google is your friend.
I've just download update 4.01 for my Iphone 3GS.
After waiting longer than 1 hour, it said my SIM card was blocked by a PIN Number. I type my PIN and it says is wrong. Amazing. I will drive my Iphone to the closest Apple store. The problem is my contract is under a spanish mobile company and I live in London, hopefully they will not ask me for papers and so on.
Anyway, it has not been the 1st time I have problem with Iphone updates.

I am also facing the same issue.
four days back, my power buttton stopped working.
Then my sim card slot stopped reading like it was stuck at gsm/cdma band.
Even without simcard it said searching..
then I changed the power button and antenna strip myself as my iphone5 is uk ee and i live in india.
Everything was fine and I booted the phone.
The power button worked like a new device... but the searching problem still remained.
I hard resetted my phone but to no vail. even Find My phone was not turning off.
then I forced my phone to recovery mode and downloaded iphone5,2 7.0.2,11A501_restore.ipsw from web and flashed it.
At the start it recognised and everything was good until the "restoring iphone firmware" was stuck at the end point.
I tried every trick on net. Even tried to downgrade.. but it was blocked.
at the last it is either stuck at firmware or itunes unknown error (3)
Please somebody help me to recover this PAPERWEIGHT to a phone again...

HT4623 Should I update my iphone4 to iOS 7?Are there any problems in this?

Should I update my iphone4 to iOS 7?Are there any problems in this.

I read the same thing about iOS 3, 4, 5, 6. You come to a forum that provides support, you are going to read problems. I did not have any, but I didn't come here to report that. Just like asking if everyone you see in an emergency room is sick.

My keyboard has a delay on it since I updated to iOS 7 anyone else having this problem?

My keyboard has a delay on it since I updated to iOS 7 anybody else having this problem? Just the odd keys not all the time. :)

(A) Reset iPad
Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears
Note: Data will not be affected.
(B) Reset all settings
Settings>General>Reset>Reset all settings
Note: Data will not be affected but settings will be reset.

Hi cmccloud,
What is the error message you get? If it's telling you to upgrade Numbers but you already have updated, then that means you probably are trying to open the document with the old version, which is still on your Mac, in a sub folder within Applications named iWork '09. Open the document with the Numbers that is in your Applications folder (not the one in a subfolder). It's easy to confuse the two, because the icons are similar.
If you're getting some other error message, could you post specifics?

Updating to iOS 5 issues with 3GS

When I try to update to iOS 5 (on 3GS) it will load in ITunes, but then when it goes to transfer to my phone it says network connection timed out please check network settings, it did this with the last update also, I have high speed internet so what is the problem??

This is asked and answered many times each day. The forum search bar is on the right side of this page.
Disable your firewall/security software and try again.

TS4268 i have the iphone 5. I updated to iOS 7 but I had this problem before I updated the software, too. I can send MMS (text messages with pictures) but I cannot receive them. I can receive reg text msgs. Just not pics. Any ideas?

I have iphone 5. Updated to new software a few days ago, but I was having this issue before the update and the update did not resolve the issue.
I can send and receive regular text messages. I can send MMS (photos, videos, etc) but I CANNOT RECEIVE photos in texts. I have read several trouble shooting suggestions, but so far no resolution. Open to any and all suggestions! Thanks!

You cannot update iPhone 4 to IOS 8.1.2, the highest you can update is IOS 7.1.2.
Unless you've iPhone 4S (looks similar to iPhone 4)

My iPad (original) no longer connects to the internet after update to ios 5. Are there any solutions to this issue?

Has anyone found a successful method to connect? This is not a router issue as other devices, including another iPad not updated to ios 5 connects just fine. I am getting frustrated

I had this problem. I held down the power switch to power down completely. Takes a few seconds. Then use the power switch to turn on. Might take a couple goes.

Updated to iOS 6 and am now having problems with wifi

Recently- I am having trouble with the wifi in multiple locations. Initially I thought it had to do with my own house internet- but my fiance has no trouble with his wifi on his iphone. We have both updated to iOS 6 and 4G tends to work fine but when connected to wifi both at work and my home it is extremely slow or does not load.

That sounds like a data system issue, call your carrier about it.
Try resetting network settings on the iPhone.

Any known issue? My applications such as WhatsApp cannot support my curent OS because it is too old but I am hestitate to upgrade to the latest OS. Is there any option to select an OS that is stable for iPhone 3GS but not neccessary the latest?

Perhaps yours is an iPhone 3G and not a 3Gs...
Connect to iTunes on the computer you usually Sync with and “ Check for Updates “...
If an Update Appears Install it... if not... you are up to date for your particular Device...

I continue to be unable to access any of my iBooks on my new iPad 2, even though I've updated to iOS 8.1.2. Any thoughts?

I upgraded to an ipad 2 around the same time as I upgraded to iOS 8.1, and I haven't been able to access any of my iBooks from my previous ipad. They are present in my iTunes. They all appear in my ipad's iBook app, but they're all grayed out. I have tried to reload them from iTunes to no avail. I've tried to reload them on the ipad via the iTunes store, but they give an eternal "downloading" message and never actually download. I've tried removing the books to see if I could repurchase them, but I can't do that. All of my books are stuck in an eternal stasis. I tried to call the help line -- they walked me so far back through the basic steps that I'd already tried that I ran out of time, and I've been unable to reconnect with them to solve my open case. I'm beyond frustrated at this point. I thought it was a bug that they'd likely fix, but the last iOS update only fixed the ringtone bug (that sounds similar to what's going on with my iBooks). Can anyone help?

I would be helpful to know what those "basic steps" you have already tried are, but lacking that information:
Settings app > iTunes & App Stores - sign out of your AppleID
Try a reset: Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the device shuts down. Ignore the off slider if it appears. Once shut down is complete, if it doesn't restart on it own, turn the device back on using the On button. In some cases it also helps to double click the Home button and close all apps BEFORE doing the reset.
Sign back into your AppleID (same location as noted above)

Updating to ios 5 on a 3gs results in error -50.

it will not restore from back up and all contact info missing from windows contacts folder. any ideas?
tried restarting phone and computer same error -50 everytime.

Did you manage to get it fixed? I'm having the same problem on my boss' 3GS. I used iPhone Backup Finder tool to locate all of my backups on our machine. Of course it didn't find his phone which was backup up prior to updating (which means it should've backed up twice seeing it does it again during an update). The tool found 3 other backups which show no info and look different than the others. This also makes sense because this is the 3rd phone in a row that updated from this machine which lost the backups. He do I manually use those files, or try to, to restore from backup in iTunes?

TS2800 TRYING TO UPDATE TO IOS 6 ON IPHONE 3GS BUT KEEP GETTING ERROR CODE 1403.HOW DO I FIX THIS PROBLEM.

trying to update to ios6 on iphone 3gs but keep getting error code 1403

Try updating over Wi-Fi:
Settings > General > Software Update.

Since updating to iOS 6, I cannot access any of my purchased movies in the cloud

on any of my devices (ipad 3, ipad 2, iPhone 4S or iPhone 4) but I can access them via Apple TV. I have hundreds of purchased movies, so its not rescinded rights by the networks/studios. I have restarted the devices. I've deleted settings. I honestly don't know what else to do. When I open iTunes on a device, click purchased then click movies, all I get is the spinning wheel as if its downloading. After about 10 minutes it just stops. No error message. I don't think it's actually connecting to the movies section because there is a drop down that still says sort by album or artist...as if its still in the purchased music section. I can access the purchased music and purchased tv sections just fine.
Any ideas?

I have the same problem too.
