Updating to iOS 8 is a disaster if you want to use your HDMI cable to watch catch up TV
IT is a warning to prevent other people from making this mistake
I have been using iPhone from a very long time and I'm aware of it completely. It's not like if I did something wrong. All what I did is tab "Downoad and Install" in the software update screen. I have never encountered such thing.
Nearly every iOS upgrade since the beginning has followed the same procedure, so you must have seen it already. What you did "wrong" was not have a regular backup schedule, nor did you back up before tapping Download and Install.
And by the way, Apple is not here to help you. This is a user-supported help forum. If you want to speak to Apple support, you must do that elsewhere: http://www.apple.com/support/

I have a iphone 5 and just updated to ios 8 now i have extended lte where it use to say verizon lte
i have a iphone 5 and just updated to ios 8 now i have extended lte where it use to say verizon lte
This is being discussed in more detail, but without a solution, in another thread: https://community.verizonwireless.com/thread/840295?tstart=0
I am having the same problem with my new iPhone 5s since I installed the current software 8.1.2 yesterday after activating the phone at a Verizon store in Tucson, AZ. My zip code is 84745.
So far I have no battery problems, but that's probably because I have cellular off except when I need it. I am usually on WiFi at home/work as my old 4s was one of the phones that, after an earlier software upgrade, chewed data up for no reason. -
my iphone 5 is connected to a wi-fi network and i'm able to browse the web and receive emails. however when i try to update the software the process fails with the following message "Unable to Verify Update. iOS 6.1 failed verification because you are no longer connected Internet." It gives an open to "Close" or "Try again", but the retry is also unsuccessful.
Try to connect to secure web site. If you can't, that would mean that your iphone is unable to authenticate itself to apple servers in order to download update. If you can - I would still guess same but with less certainty and suggest to update on another network.

Just updated to Mavericks on my MAC. There is a pop-up that states:" Messages agent wants to use your confidential information stored in Facetime".
(brings up an email address and that it's in my keychain). Then it goes on to state, "Do you want to allow access to this item?" I am to click on always allow or deny or allow. I would like to delete this. I do not want to allow the stated email address. I keep denying it access, yet it keeps popping up. Please help!Open FaceTime in Applications.
Turn Off Face Time.

Recently read on a deal site forum page that you can only use Apple lightning cables to charge iPad Air or iPad Mini Retina running iOS 7 or higher. Is that the case or will any 8-pin to USB cable work? Thx in advance for any helpful replies.
Due to a lot of bad press that Apple was getting due to burnt chargers, shocked users (the electrical kind...), etc., due to the lousy third party El Cheapo brand generics, as of iOS 7 the cable must be Apple-certified before the iGadget deigns to use it for charging purposes. Unfortunately (for Apple) the old traditional USB to 30-pin cable is just that, a straight piece of wire, and can't be validated by the iGadget. But lo & behold, the new gear uses the new Lightning cable, which contains an embedded chip that CAN be validated and lousy imitations disabled from use.

How do you update iPad iOS under Settings/General/Software if the Software button is non-existent?
You do not have iOS 5 on your iPad so you have to update by using a computer via the latest version of iTunes. You can connect the iPad to your computer and launch iTunes. Select the iPad on the left side under the devices heading. Click on the Summary Tab on the right. Click on Check for Update.
After you update to iOS 5 or later, you will have Software Update in you settings and can update via WiFi OTA. If you have the original iPad - you can only upgrade to iOS 5.1.1.

My iphone is not working anymore, I cannot see anything i once had on it after uodating it via itune when connecting it to my laptop.
If I had known, i would never have downloaded the update.
You guys are causing more problem than help.
Guess its time for me to go and buy samsung. You guys are making your product more difficult to use and causing more harm than good. How can I get back all my data now?If you are so unhappy, leave. No one here cares.
There are no Apple employees here, we are all users like yourself.
Now if you would like to drop the attitude and clearly explain the issue that is occurring, we will do our best to help get the device functional again. -
every time you people update the browser 1/2 or more of my plugins end up broken. WHY? It's counter productive when I rely on some of the add-ons I use. I'll just stop using your browser. Do you know that it gives the impression that it SUCKS?! (By the way, I had updates TURNED OFF and yet it still updated? HOW?!)

How do I delete new apps that 'came' with ios 8.0?
Default apps can't be deleted, put those you don't like in a new folder, so you don't see them anymore while browsing through your screens.
Some apps can be restricted and will not be shown on the screen anymore after that. Check Settings/General/Restrictions to see which ones. -
What is up with this error message after updating saying our cables are not reliable?
Thank you for this suggestion, but the message continues to display every couple of minutes. (e.g. "This cable or accessory is not certified and may not work reliably with this iPhone.)
Not only is it annoying and concerning...this is draining my battery, as the iPhone keeps waking up to display the message over and over. Like "MartinLegodi" above, I also have no cable or accessory plugged in and only use Apple cable and products when I do.
It's a disconcerting mystery. -
Can I delete my trashed photos once and for all so that it will never be recovered and if I did a software update is that going to help or not
Good Morning Barbara,
I do apologise to members of this forum for my display of bad temper, it was generated by a series of problems with my system and this one from Adobe just took the biscuit and I thought I had finally reached Adobe. My fingers are poised over the phone this morning awaiting the start of the working day.
One thing that I cannot explain is that this series of trial programs, not clear in the updater, from Adobe is that it seems to have damaged my copy of Elements 10. I cannot put text onto pictures. I have tried uninstalling and reinstaling Elements 10 to no avail. Anyway we will see what they say.
Regards

Updating to iOS 7; the Smart Way!
Heya! For anyone who has not yet installed iOS 7 on their device, here's a few tips on how to optimize your update experience:
First things first! Keep in minf that there are peaks times during which people are not only updating, but restoring their device, activating it, or activating services like FaceTime and iMessage. During these times, you might encounter errors in reaching the Apple update server. Just remember, perserverence and patience! Keep on trying!
Now on to the updating!
1.) Install the latest version of iTunes (version 11.1). I recommend doing so by going to apple.com/iTunes and downloading iTunes again from there, even if you already have it installed.
2.) Turn off Find My iPhone. Since iOS 7 will have activation lock, which I do believe requires a passcode or password of some sort, you don't want that to be on as soon as you begin setting up the device with its new iOS 7 on it. And it will be turned on if you leave Find My iPhone turned on.
3.) Connect your device to iTunes and back it up, or perform an iCloud backup. Just remember, if using iCloud backup for the first time, this could take a LOOOONG time!
4.) After backing up, you might also need to transfer purchases to the computer from the iPhone (or whatever iOS device you have). You do this in iTunes by clicking File, then click Devices, then click Transfer Purchases From (your iPhone's name).
5.) You can also sync Contacts, Calendars, Notes, and other important personal data to an approved program on your computer, or you can sync with iCloud. I recommend doing this not only before an update or restore, but as a general routine, same as backing up your iPhone. Apple even has a support article on how to save your data! http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1296?viewlocale=en_US
6.) Click Update! Have a tasty beverage, read a magazine, tuck your kids into bed, whatever tickles your fancy. Even with a good internet connection and a nifty new computer, the software download and update process might take a while. A nap is also a good idea!
7.) Set up your device, if needed. Sometimes you'll need to set up your iPhone from the backup you just created again. Go through the setup process as you normally would and choose the backup you want to use.
8.) Sync or redownload (you can see how in this link: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519) any missing content.
9.) Enjoy! Play around with and get the feel for iOS 7 and you'll be loving it in no time! If there's a feature that's been changed or is missing, Apple's got a great way to let their Engineers know your feelings about it! apple.com/feedback
If anyboday has problems and they can't be solved via discussions, go to getsupport.apple.com and you should be able to work your way through the prompts to get the various Apple contact methods. They're usually really nice and don't mind t help out!
Thanks for taking a look!Wups, forgot the 4S doesn't have LTE. I was thinking of my Ipad 3rd gen. My friend is stuck using the 4G signal now though which constantly drops.

Since updating to ios 7.1.2, phone won't sync with itunes
I'm using a macbook pro with mavericks as well as the latest version of itunes (11.2.2). I had some minor issues with my iphone 4s and was told by a guy at the apple store to update to ios 7.1.2 (from ios 7), and since this whenever I try to sync (via usb cable) it gets stuck at 'waiting for items to copy'/'waiting for changes to be applied'. Cancelling the sync causes itunes to freak out and I end up having to turn everything off and on again to no avail, with no new items being copied to my phone at all.
Is there anything I can do at all? Would it just be simpler for me to somehow undo the update to ios 7.1.2?Please provide more information about your setup: iTunes on Windows or Mac? What version of iTunes?
When you say you "can't sync" do you mean the iPad doesn't appear in iTunes when you connect it or does it appear but give some error when you attempt the sync operation?
If it gives you an error message when syncing, what does it say?
If the iPad doesn't even appear in iTunes and you are using iTunes on Windows then read iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
If that doesn't work and the iPad still doesn't appear then try iTunes: How to reset the Lockdown folder. -
Headphones issue after updating to iOS 6.1.4
I have not seen anyone else posting this issue but I feel like I can't be alone. I updated to iOS 6.1.4 and now any headphones I use are cracking and popping. I took my phone into the apple store after restoring as a new phone. I thought it was a hardware issue, but after they replaced my phone and I updated the new phone, the exact same issue is happening again, just two hours after having the replacement. I even set this phone up as a new iPhone to make sure it was not a settings issue.....
Anyone else having this, or have a fix. Guess I might have to just wait till next iOS update and cross my fingers I can use my headphones again.
(P.S. this is using several pairs of headphones. Even tried some display headphones in the apple store.)Bumping this in hopes, someone will help
