Why is the iPhone 4S 5.1 Update so Large?
I have just updated my iPhone 4S to the 5.1 Operating System and it took me 9 hours to download the 806MB. If you have the iPhone 4S 8GB that would occupy an additional 10% of the iPhone memory, just leaving roughly a little over 6BG for the user, and if Apple keeps updating regularly, the iPhone 4S, soon people with the iPHONE 4S 8GB will not have any memory left for their own use (Photos, Calender, Music, Contacts...Etc..).
Did you update your phone via Settings/General/Software Update?
Updating via iTunes on your computer will download a file of that size, doing the update using your phone will download a smaller file.
As far as I remember around 180MB, but I used my computer to update.

Why is the iPhone 5 using so much data I have read a lot of complaints and I have went over on my plan and never have?
I have even turned off LTE. Cut off my cellular data off of apps. Still uses data I switched back to my iPhone 4 cause I had used my
Data in 2 weeks!I have the same problem on my 4S 64G: I updated to 7.1.1 and burned through my cellular data allowance without running anything that ought to be using it. I incurred an overage charge on Thursday, my new billing cycle started on Friday, and I immediately had used 3/4 of my allowance for the new cycle. I typically do not use my allowance in an entire month so burning through it in a day or two twice in one week is very much not right.
Possibly unrelated or not: last night I was out, did NOT use any apps that should use cellular data, and came home and my phone refused to connect to my home wifi despite turning this and that on and off. I burned cellular allowance while wifi was available.
It seems like someting on my phone, whether an app or the iOS itself, is using cellular data even while my phone is not in use. All I could do is turn off Cellular Data in Settings but that very much diminishes the usefulness of a phone that has served me well -- without data overages! -- for several years.
Please fix this, Apple! -
HT4623 Why is my iphone 4 SO slow updating!!!???
Why is my iphone 4 SO slow updating!!!???
How much free space do you have? When was the last time you restarted the phone (Home & Sleep buttons held together)? Have you cleaned out unused apps?
All of these will diminish performance of your phone. -
Why does the iPhone convert animated .GIF images?
I saved a bunch of animated .GIF files on my iPhone.
When I imported them onto my computer, they were all single framed .JPG files.
Why does the iPhone convert the images, and is there any way to prevent this?
Thanks!you can play gif in webView ,just the same way you load a jpeg or png..
NSString *path = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:@"santa" ofType:@"gif"];
NSURL *url = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:path isDirectory:NO];
/* Load the request. */
[myWebView loadRequest:[NSURLRequest requestWithURL:url]];
the gif that is locally saved will be loaded. -

I have the iphone 4 and just updated to iOS 6 and all my text messages are gone. Can I get them back?
Group messaging simply puts all replies in one conversation in Messages. It doesn't prevent the behavior you experienced.
My suggestion which would be much easier in my opinion, is rather than do a text, send out an email and use bcc: , which will keep the audience hidden from each recipient.
Otherwise, if you're determinted to do only texts, the only way is to send your message to one person at a time. You can of course copy/paste your msg each time which might be helpful. -
How do I transfer all photos and music from my old iphone 3gs to new iphone 4s? I have a new laptop because the old one broke and so do not have non camera roll photos or music stored anywhere apart from the iphone 3gs and cannot update io5 on the iphone 3gs without erasibng everything. i need help!!!
Syncing to a new iTunes library or computer will erase your phone. Only if you back up manually before syncing, you can restore your device from that backup again. A manual backup does not include the sync process.
Do this:
Disable autosync in iTunes, connect your phone to your new computer and right click on it in the device list and choose backup. iTunes will backup your device without syncing.
Transfer your purchases the same way, choosing "transfer purchases" this time.
When you connect your phone for the first time, all media content will be erased. But you can restore your settings and app data from your manual backup afterwards.
Don't forget to set up at least one contact and event on your new computer to be able to merge calendars and contacts when you sync the iPhone for the first time.
Music is one way only, from the computer to your device, unless you bought the songs in itunes and transferred your purchases.
There is 3rd party software out there, but not supported by Apple, see this thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2013615&tstart=0

My iphone 5s and model A1457 and even after i downloaded the IOS 7.1,2 itunes get me error "the iphone could not be updated because the firmware file is not compatible"
some people saying that u cant get back and other saying yes u can
i wonder if i still can and how to avoid that error
IOS 8 Drain battery like **** -.-" & wireless not working well -.-", that's so annoying ...
(if someone got a solution, i would appreciate it, Thx in advance)You may have to arrange to take the product into an authorized
service agent for the iPhone (or other affected iDevice) to see
if they can apply the correct firmware update, to help resolve the
issue of upgrade; or if they have a way to put it as it was prior to
the attempted upgrade to a later iOS.
See all worldwide telephone support numbers
Contact a mobile carrier
Find an Apple Authorized Service Provider
Visit an Apple Retail Store
Pending some release of another update to the iOS, you'd need
to have someone's hands-on effort to correct the issues your
product faces now, before another round of upgrade attempt.
Sorry that I have no exact method to attempt to resolve your issue.
Good luck & happy computing! -
Why is the iPhone cheaper from Apple store than elsewhere?
Hi there, possible silly question for you here!
Why is the iPhone 5C £319 from apple and £399 from the likes of Carphone Warehouse or Virgin Mobile??
What am I missing?
Having been with Virgin for a very long time and using basic phones I need something that's going to let me do what I need on the go without lagging and crashing so I'm going for an iPhone...possibly the 5C.
Do you think Virgin would supply me with a sim to go in the iPhone if I bought it from Apple??
Hope you can help!?!?!

If Apple has decided to sell the 5C at £319 ( as shown on UK store) it will be NOT carrier locked and will work with any of the UK Apple Approved carriers ,including Virgin
(forget CPW their units will lock to the first carrier sim used )
I imagine if you have a contract Virgin will provide the correct sim provisioned for your number ,but ask them first -
Why Does the iPhone not send/receive MMS?
Why Does the iPhone not send/receive MMS? this in the works?
"Why Does the iPhone not send/receive MMS?"
Apple chose not to offer this as a feature of iphone. E-mail can accomplish the same thing.
"is in the works?"
This has been asked and answered countless times. The forum search bar is on the right side of this page.
Apple has announced that MMS will be included in the 3.0 software due out this summer. Before you ask, all that has been announced is in this link:

I am trying to update my iPhone but it seems that I have to many photos and music because I received the following message: The iPhone could not be updated; this device is not elegible for the requested build. Does anyone know how to fix this?
You have to delete the corrupt back-up so iTunes can at least back-up the current data on the iPhone and then restore it. Search these forums, there a several good posts on how to delete the corrupt back-up.

Why does the iPod duplicate songs when updating my playlists?
Why does the iPod duplicate songs when updating my playlists? Also, you cannot use the "show duplicate songs" feature on the iPod - I suppose that is because it is not supposed to duplicate songs on the iPod. But, if that is the case - why does it do it?
Try resetting your iPod, press and hold the power and the home buttons together approximately 15 seconds until the Apple logo appears. If that does not work try going into Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. If that does not work try connecting to you iTunes library via the cable and un-sync the library from your iPod then sync the library. For the next 2 options backup your iPod first, then do a Restore iPod from backup, if that doesn't work... As a last resort Restore your iPod as New. I too had the red circle and square after updating to 7.0.4 the last resort fixed mine, others have reported doing all the above, all have had reports of fixing the problem and not fixing it. Give it a try, hopefully one of these works, Good luck.

Why is the iphone search function spotlight limited in time?
why is the iphone search function spotlight limited in time? I can only find entries that are less than a year old,but I would like to search older entries in my calender, which goes back to 2002. Anyone has a solution for this?
Are you sure that your calendar still contains entries from that long ago? Generally when you sync the iPhone through iTunes, it will only sync entries from a specific time frame. It may be there older entries have been archived and do not exist on the iPhone anymore. Other than that, I don't see any setting that allows modification to the time frame for Spotlight search.
