Upgrade to iOS 5.1 == FAIL

I just updated my iPhone 4 from 5.0 to 5.1 and I am not a happy camper. The upgrade process appeared to hang for over 5 minutes without any indication of progress being made either on the phone or in iTunes. I ended up ejecting the phone and plugging it in again. The phone restarted and was missing 70% of my apps. It also didn't restore any of my passwords even though I was using an encrypted iPhone backup on my laptop so I wouldn't have to enter my passwords again. Apple, this experience has totally sucked and sadly it could not come at a worse time as I'm at the hospital dealing with a family situation (yeah, I was an idiot to think this upgrade would actually be a trouble free experiece). Y'all need to get serious about testing your software and maybe take a break from foisting more, unstable features on your customers (things no longer "just work" as people used to say about Apple products).

Like I said, I waited at least 5 minutes looking for any sign that either iTunes or the phone was actually updating. There was none. This is poor software design/implementation, leaving the user to guess as to whether the update is actually occuring or it has hung and failed.
Note, this is more to the story like the fact I downloaded the update successfully before I told iTunes to go ahead and update the phone. I waited patiently as the upgrade appeared to be transfered to the phone. Then I saw some error message saying iTunes didn't have the password to my backup although I don't reacall seeing it ask me for it. During all this my phone rebooted several times. Finally iTunes appeared to have stopped updating the phone and the phone's display remained black and I waited for it to do anything for at least 5 minutes. I ran Activity Monitor which showed iTunes to be completely idle during that time. I've gone through several iPhone updates so I have some expectation of what is normal and what isn't.

Upgrade 2950 ios with cna fails

I'm trying to upgrade a 2950T from 12.1(14)EA1a to 1.12(22)EA10a.
I dl'd c2950-i6q4l2-tar.121-22.EA10a.tar.
In cna, went to Maintenance->Software Upgrade, selected the 2950, and pointed Upgrade Settings to the tar file.
Click Upgrade
It get to Reading the info file, and then
Software upgrade failed.
Any help appreciated.

Actually CNA has its own embedded tftp server so you really should not have to use another tftp server. Even if space was the problem, CNA will explicitly give that error message and also provide a link to open a graphical flash management tool which will allow you to delete the unwanted files from the flash. If possible could you try that option also, I would like to know if there is any bug in CNA which forces you to use CLI and external TFTP server.

Upgrade to ios 5 failed

i tried 3 times to upgrade to ios 5 but it fails every time after 2 hours downloading then proccessing file IT FAILS !!!!!!!!

You probably have a currupt backup. You can delete the backup by going to iTunes Preferences, Devices tab. Or better yet, rename the current backup so iTunes creates a new one.
Use Windows Explorer to go to:
On Windows XP
\Documents and Settings\[username]\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\
On Windows vista and Windows 7
\Users\[username]\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\
You will need to set explorer to show hidden files.
Once there rename "backup" to "backup.sav", The next time you try to back up your iPhone iTunes will create a new backup.

Upgrade to ios 5 failed with unknown error (-1)

I was on ios 4.3.2 and when I tried to upgrade to ios 5 yesterday, I am getting unknown error(-1) while it is trying to install firmware. Currenlty my phone is in recovery mode and is detectable by iTiunes 10.5. But every time I try to restore the device to factory settings, it is giving the error as said before. Please help!
Thanks,
Sitaram.

I have a good news for those who have their phones factory unlocked or have warranty from Apple. I went to a premium Apple Care center and they said that my phone has motherboard problem and that's the reason I have been seeing -1 error. So I have a got a phone to phone replacement.
For ppl who have software unlocks, you need to wait for an ios 5 unlock for ur base band. Try following http://www.facebook.com/RedmondPie

What happens if i reset my iphone?
Hi, Sorry, have edited my first post to you as I misread your question...
A reset is like a reboot on a computer... You will not lose any Data...
Resetting your phone:
Press the sleep/wake button & home button at the same time, keep pressing until you see the Apple logo, then release the buttons...

My iPad mini iOS version is 6.0.2 I can't upgrade to iOS 7. Message displayed is "Verification of update failed because you are no longer connected to the internet." This happens while I am connected to the internet. What should I do?

My iPad mini iOS version is 6.0.2 which I can't upgrade to iOS 7. Message displayed during verifying upgrade is "Can't verify upgrade because you are no longer connected to the internet". This happens again and again though I am connected to the internet through wifi. What should I do?

Reset the iPad and try again. Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
Reset your router and try again. Unplug your router from power for about 30 seconds then plug it in again.
Try another WiFi Network. Go to a friend's house, a library, anywhere else that you can use a trusted WiFi network.
Try updating using iTunes on your computer.

UE Boom Bluetooth speaker failed to connect after upgraded to iOS 8.2

After upgraded to iOS 8.2 on 2x iPhone 6 64GB (Gold & Silver) + iPad Mini, UE Boom Bluetooth speaker can never been "detected" nor connected.
Reset all settings does not help.
(UE Boom firmware was upgraded to v1.451 which supports Bluetooth 4.0 for remote power on/off).

Howdy Tampo,
If you are still unable to connect to or see your bluetooth speaker on your iPad I would use the troubleshooting in this article to help you further:

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the best,

Upgrade to IOS 5.1 is a fail.

I upgraded to IOS 5.1 when I got the ntoification. But it has changed my ATT iPhone to a 4G instead of 3G. Now my data services are slow and sluggish. My facebook app does not work at all. If the iPhone 4s is not compatible with 4G, why send this upgrade. Now my phone is screwed up!!
Any one now how I get back to 3G. This upgrade is not worth the trouble for me.

All that changed is the indicator label. AT&T calls their HSDPA network "4G" and managed to convince Apple to change the indicator. You are not connected to any different network technology.
As regards your problems, try the usual steps: restart, reset, restore.

Since upgrade to iOS 7 Email error on over 100KB emails "Cannot Send Mail The message was rejected by the server because it is too large." Connecting to Exchange via Activesync

Hi,
Following the upgrade to iOS 7.0.3 on all our iPhone and iPad devices, it has been identified that when sending emails around 100KB in size and over an error message appears on the device stating “Cannot Send Mail The message was rejected by the server because it is too large.” See error message below. The send/receive limit is over 10MB so this is not the issue.
We are in an Exchange Environment using Microsoft Activesync. This issue is not evident in iOS 6. This has been tested on an iPhone 3GS running version iOS 6.1.3. We have been unable to repeat the issues seen on iOS 7 on the older OS. It is not possible to roll back to the older operating system as Apple are no longer signing the software.
We use Microsoft Active Sync to connect to our Exchange servers through a TMG. The issue is very inconsistent, some identical emails go through, some fail. This is not an issue with the send/receive limit as this is over 10MB. The error message when it fails on the TMG is Status: 413 Request Entity Too Large, which we believe is from IIS on the CAS server.
Does anyone have any suggest course of actions to take?
Many Thanks

This resolution have to attend at the server not with the ios device. My employer's mail administrator reject me to correct it from the server. As his concern is, if ither ios devices works why don't mine? So I am helpless than changing my iphone. It works fine for early versions of ios and with androids. And also one of my friends iphone4 with ios 7 (similar as mine) works too. So I guess it's something wrong with my iPhones settings. But basic question I cannot understand is it works in my phone before this ios7 upgrading. And currently working with my yahoo account too. Favourable reply expected.

Hdmi adapter not working after upgrade to iOS 8

My Hdmi adapter (orig. Apple) is not working anymore after upgrade to iOS 8, is there any solution.

The IOS 8 update has nothing to do with the failure of the device. I have a HDMI adapter and it has worked fine through IOS 6, IOS 7 and IOS 8.
You may want to restart your device by holding the home and power button until the Apple logo appears. If the adapter still fails to work you need to determine if the adapter has failed or the port on your device has failed. Best solution is to go to the Apple store with the device and the adapter. If your adapter has failed it may be under warranty if you still have the sales receipt. If the port on your device is bad then the Apple store will be able to provide you with options.

After upgrading to iOS 5, my iPhone 4 takes a very long time to open digitally signed emails. I've tried with the SMIME settings enabled, but that doesn't help either. Any ideas on how to resolve this? Thanks in advance.

I suspect you may have a corrupt photo or image that is causing the sync to fail or quit. You might want to try removing all of your photos by deselecting them in iTunes then sync - and try adding them by each sub-folders until you are able to nail down which sub-folder of photos, that causes the sync to stop or gives you errors.

After upgrading to iOS 8.1 my health data is missing!

I am a diabetic and I was using the health data for tracking my Blood sugar levels in iOS 8.0 . How ever after upgrading to iOS 8.1 all the previous recordings are gone!! Can somebody tell me why this is so?? I am using iPhone 5.

FIRST, back up the phone to iTunes, then sync it. A sync will frequently reduce the size of Other. If that fails, connect the phone to your computer, click on its name in iTunes, and click Restore iPhone. First time, restore your backup. If Other does not get smaller then you will have to restore again and set it up as New, then manually add back your apps and music. You will lose any app data, however. It may help to understand what Other actually is. See: What is "Other" and What Can I Do About It?

I believe that all iPhones, purchased in Egypt, from official sources, are sold as carrier locked. So, your phone was hacked by someone so you could use it in Germany. Sorry, but that's what happens to hacked iPhones.
No one here can help you, nor can/will Apple, and since none of the carriers in Egypt offer official unlocking, your choices are not good.
