Reset your iPhone. Hold the on/off and home buttons together for about 10 seconds till the Apple logo appears.
If you continue to have issues, try downloading the apps to iTunes on your computer, then sync your iPhone using iTunes.

Any updated to iOS 7.1 with a 5s; how did it go?

Hi all,
I have been waiting and watching to see if there have been any issues with updating to iOS 7.1 with an iPhone 5s. In the past, I have gotten burned with updating my iPad to a newer iOS namely poorer battery life, etc.
Our iPhones are only two weeks old and all is well, so I don't have an urgency to update, although I do like to stay current for bug fixes, etc. Granted, a bug fix, could create another bug fix which is why I have been waiting, and asking.
Anyone have thoughts or experiences? If I do update, what is the best way to do the update - through iTunes after making

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...

After the recent update I am having issues with Flash based games freezing and not responding.

After the recent update I am having issues with flash based programs not running or loading correctly. The programs will not load or take an extremely long time to load compared to jsut a few days ago. This happens across the board on anything flash based. Also, once they do load they will freeze, stop responding or need to be constantly refreshed to come back alive which is short lived at best. I went thru the help and did all the file deleting, cache clearing, disabling hardware acceleration, removing then reinstalling flash, and even removing and reinstalling my browsers. None of this has helped at all. I am using Chrome and it is up to date and I checked my Flash player and it is up to date. I am running windows 7 64bit.

Here's what you're up against guys,
Adobe writes the base code for Flash Player, and then hands it off to Google, who adapt it to a PPAPI plug-in (it's NPAPI when Adobe writes it). It's then "PepperFlash" and Google embeds it in their Chrome browser. While Google is pushing a "webwide" move to PPAPI Flash Content, a reinvention of the wheel so to speak, not everyone "got the memo", and Google is slowly making it so that PepperFlash will block NPAPI Flash content from running properly, and you have to disable PepperFlash to force the NPAPI plug-in to work, which sometimes fixes it, sometimes not. I have a feeling this is only going to get worse. HTML5 will eventually resolve the video end but game developers need to come up with something that won't require a plug-in.
And to the first post: Since PepperFlash is embedded in Chrome by Google, you can uninstall and reinstall Flash Player from here until your hard drive literally seizes up.... guess what? It has NO EFFECT at all on the PepperFlash plug-in in Chrome because it's a separate file in a separate folder and the uninstaller & installers don't have anything to do with it.

Has anyone received an update on apple tv issue with HD movies and what they are doing about it

Has anyone received an update on apple tv issue with HD movies and what they are doing about it

Whatever the rep told you, it is complete nonsense. There is clearly a problem at your end, the Apple TV 3 is capable of more than the Apple TV 2, and you clearly have the Apple TV 2 working perfectly. Since the Apple TV 2 is able to download from the Internet properly, then my suspicion would be your problem lies on your local network. Interference is a common problem on local networks.
Interference can be caused by other networks in the neighbourhood or from household electrical items.
You can download and install iStumbler (NetStumbler for windows users) to help you see which channels are used by neighbouring networks so that you can avoid them, but iStumbler will not see household items.
Refer to your router manual for instructions on changing your wifi channel or adjusting your multicast rate.
There are other types of problems that can affect networks, but this is by far the most common, hence worth mentioning first. Networks that have inherent issues can be seen to work differently with different versions of the same software. You might also try moving the Apple TV away from other electrical equipment.

Bluetooth IOS 5 issues with infiniti

Hello,
I am at a loss so far with my Iphone 4. I recently purchased the Iphone 4 about 3 weeks ago and was able to pair it with my infiniti G37 no problem. Well, after a week or so, I connected to iTunes and upgrade my IOS to IOS 5...BIG mistake...I am having intermitent calls through my cars bluetooth...it connects, then disconnects, the conmects, then disconnects...etc... Aty any rate, I need my phone to stay connected! I went from a droid to this iphone and I am seriously regretting this decision, as I had 0 problems ever with my droid. I have tried disabling the bluetooth, deleting it from both my car and my phone and reconnecting. I have done a hard reset, but nothing seems to work.
Question: when will apple be fixing this...it has got to be soon! I cannot pssobily work wityhout bluetooth and sicne verizon FAILED to mention this issue, I am stuck with this phone, that is of no use to me for my work...
HELP!!!

I've been having the same issue with my '08 G35. Apprently there is a problem with iOS 5 and Bluetooth; if you search this and other forums there are many reports of this issue with other manufacturersincluding Audi, BMW, Ford and Volkswagen. Also, aftermarket stereos and even some earpieces are having similar issues.
I brought my phone to the Apple Store in Birmingham and the "genius" told me it must be a car problem and I should contact a dealer. I contacted Infiniti Customer Support and the Bluetooth Department said there are no firmware updates available for the car. The rep also said he has been hearing about this problem a lot.
I called the Apple Store back and they backed off their "it must be a car problem" line. The employee said he would send some sort of report to Apple Engineering.
I have tried a hard reset of the phone after deleting the pairing from the car and the phone. It helped but the car still drops the phone randomly. I have also tried disabling then restarting Bluetooth right before I get in the car, also turning the phone to airplane mode then back to normal; neither reliably fixes the problem.
To me this is a more serious issue than the well-publicized battery problems. People use this feature to safely make calls. To have a system that will randomly stop working in the middle of a call is less safe than having no handsfree capability at all. Especially for people like me with a manual transmission.
Apple may want to think about fixing this before someone crashes his or her car.

Updating to IOS 4.1 on 3GS - Any Problems?

Has anybody updated to IOS 4.1 without upgrading iTunes to 10 and been successful?

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.

Solved IOS 6 issue with headphone remote

Upgraded my Iphone 4S to IOS 6 and my Klipsch headphone remot would not work. Volume buttons worked, and the center button would start playing music, but it would not stop or pause the songs. I tried my original Apple earbugs with the remote and did not have any problems. The I used the Klipsch again, and now they work great.
Sounds strange, but that is what happened.

Hi All,
I was facing all sorts of issues with my earphone controls.
This solved my problem.
Double click home button. (press twice).This will show you all the apps that you have currently open.
Long click on the 1st app in the list [about 3 seconds]. This will make the icons wiggle and show a red minus sign on the left hand top corner.
Scroll [right] to see your music app (if you can't see it already).
Press the red minus sign. This will completely close the music app.
Restart your music app and things should be back to normal. [I also would close all other app in the same fashion, just in case, cause things like youtube apps use the controls on your earphones as well. ]
In short: - kill, kill-em-all and restart your music app.

SSL patch update has caused many issues with my iPhone 5c

Since the patch update completed, my iPhone is acting ridiculous. I cannot use safari. Every time I try to search something, it tells me it cannot connect to server. I also cannot delete voicemails. Once I delete, the phone freezes and the voicemail is not deleted. It comes back from deleted messages. When I hit the phone toggle button, it opens up my recent call list but it opens to the calls from Thursday, the day I did the update. It also deleted every text message that I had sent that day from my text history. I have shut the phone down, what other options do I have?

I have actually talked to a couple people that I know that have the 5c and it seems like it is a hit or miss. Some people have problems with the blue ones, im having issues with the white one, some people have no issues att all. COnsider your son luck that he has no problems. I have had problems with 3 different whote 5c over the coarse of 4 months now and contuining to have problems.

IPhone 6 with iOS 8 Issues with Exchange Mail Header

Multiple users report issues with Headers in the Apple Mail Client
Condensed/Squished Text (in the Message Header)
Blank Headers (in the Message Previews)
Touch Calibration - Off by 2cm after attempting to interact with blank messages
Has anyone else been experiencing these issues... any fixes?

Did you find a solution for this problem yet?
We are haveing the same problem where I work.
Also using Exchange server and IOS devices.
Are you using a VPN tunnel on the IOS devices?
A few Days ago I had this problem on my own device (iPhone6, IOS8.3)
I was Reading emails on my way to work.
When I got to work and started the computer ONE of the emails was marked unread in Outlook.
On the device it was marked as "read".
One thing that I remember is that I had bad Connection at the time I was syncing emails and I got
the popup message: "Can not get emails - Connection to server failed" (my translation from Swedish)
I have a feeling that the error message and the problem with unread emails are connected somehow.
Also, when I turn off the email account for my iPhone (to remove all emails) and turn it back on (reload all emails)
the mail that was set as "read" is now "unread" again on my iPhone.
This means (speculatinos) that sometimes the device mark emails as "read" but for some reason it does not
tell the server that it is "read". So the server still Thinks that the email is "unread".

Does the 10.6.4 update fix the freezing issues with the i5 & i7 MBP's

Since I am on the fence about buying a new 15" MBP I would be interested to know what effect the new update has on the latest MBP's and the freezing issues some are experiencing.

The "freezes" that are mentioned in other threads here appear to be due to a wide variety of different issues. Looking at the relevant posts I'd reckon about one in thirty of them at the most are due to an unusual issue with a few of the current MBPs. The other 29 are simply the regular array of things that cause freezes on any computer - out of date software, corrupted directory structures, the migration of already corrupted software from older computers, duplicate or corrupted fonts, badly written third party software, the occasional shonky HD or RAM module, etc etc etc.
THis is a non-issue from what I can see. Some people may well benefit from updating to 10.6.4 , but probably only because it replaces some files that have been corrupted for other reasons in the past.
I certainly wouldn't be putting off getting a new MBP on the basis of the stuff here. Sure, some people will experience "freezes", but there doesn't really seem to me to be anything out of the ordinary being reported here with respect to the new MBPs. There are a thousand and one things that can lead to "freezes". In a few cases it probably is due to a hardware problem with one component or another. In the vast majority, however, it will simply be because of the common old "thousand and one shocks that silicon chips, magnetic storage and software developers are heir too"!

Sound problems with apps after updating to IOS 5.1 with Ipad 2

Hi there,
I am having a sound problem since the update to ios 5.1. I have an Ipad 2 and all my games don't play sound anymore. I tried to redownload the games as well as restarting the Ipad, but nothing worked for me. Does anyone of you have the same problem?

Try backing up and doing a full restore and see if that helps.

IPhone 5 update to iOS 8 issues

I plugged my iPhone 5 running the latest version of iOS 7 into my MacBook air running OS 10.7.5, backed up the phone, and tried to download and update to iOS 8. After over an hour, it told me the network connection timed out. This continued to happen after several more tries. I can't simply download it on the phone, because there isn't enough space. How can I fix this, and update?
