10 Common iOS 9 Problems & How to Fix Them
iPhone, iPad and iPod touch owners continue to struggle with iOS 9 problems as we push into 2018. With that mind, we want to show you how to fix common iOS 9 problems on all versions of the Apple’s aging operating system.
In 2016, Apple replaced iOS 9 with iOS 10. And while most iOS 9-powered devices got bumped up to iOS 10, some devices, like the popular iPhone 4s, got left behind on the iOS 9.3.5 update.
If you’re stuck on iOS 9.3.5, you can’t download iOS 10, iOS 11, or iOS 12 in an effort to fix your problems. You must find a fix yourself.
Those of you on iOS 9 by choice should consider upgrading to iOS 11. If your device isn’t compatible with iOS 11 or you simply don’t want to upgrade, here’s list of potential fixes for your iOS 9 problem(s).
These will work if you’re on iOS 9.0, iOS 9.0.1, iOS 9.0.2, iOS 9.1, iOS 9.2, iOS 9.2.1, iOS 9.3, iOS 9.3.1, iOS 9.3.2, iOS 9.3.3, iOS 9.3.4, or Apple’s final iOS 9.3.5 update.
How to Fix iOS 9 Touchscreen Problems
If your device’s screen stops responding after upgrading to a new version of iOS 9 update, there’s no need to panic. At least not right off the bat.
We ran into this problem right after we installed the update on the iPhone 6. The problem prevented us from accessing any apps and it also prevented us from turning the phone off. Fortunately, we were able to fix it very quickly with a simple solution.
If your screen stops responding to touches and swipes, you’ll want to hold down the power button and home button at the same time. Wait for the phone to reboot and then try to use your screen like you normally do.
If it doesn’t work the first time, try it again until it works. It took three resets for our screen to start working again.
How to Fix iOS 9 Battery Life Problems
The iOS 9 update brings a tangible battery life boost to the iPhone. Some users might get up to an extra hour of battery life. While some users are seeing an increase, others are noticing abnormal battery drain on their device.
Battery issues are common, particularly right after a major system update like iOS 9. If your iOS 9 battery life isn’t what you think it should be after installing iOS 9.3.5, wait a couple of days for the update to settle. Things tend to improve after two days or so.
If they don’t, take a look at our list of iOS 9 battery life fixes and tips that will help you fix bad iOS 9.0, iOS iOS 9.1, iOS 9.2, or iOS 9.3 battery life.
They’ll also help if you’re dealing with Pokemon Go battery life problems. The augmented reality game is causing tons of battery issues for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch users.
How to Fix iOS 9 Wi-Fi Problems
We’re already seeing complaints about broken Wi-Fi in iOS 9. This isn’t at all surprising given that Wi-Fi problems are among the most common iOS problems. Fortunately, there are some proven fixes that could help you alleviate your iOS 9 Wi-Fi issues.
If you run into Wi-Fi problems on iOS 9, you’ll want to reset your Network Settings. To do this, head into Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
This process can take a few minutes to complete and after it’s done, your device will have forgotten known Wi-Fi passwords so make sure you have your password handy.
If that doesn’t solve your issue, forget your Wi-Fi networks and reconnect to them. To get that done, go into your Settings > Wi-Fi > Select your connection > Tap Forget this Network at the top of the screen. Reconnect if you can.
If those fixes don’t work, take a close look at your router. We recommend unplugging it for a good minute or so then plugging it back in. If that doesn’t help, see if there is a firmware update for your router. Each router is different so you’ll need to consult your manual on how to do this.
If none of these fixes work for you, you can head here for some other potential fixes. Apple’s also got its own guide available as well.
How to Fix Touch ID Problems
Many iOS 9 users are complaining about issues with Touch ID. Some are saying that the update has caused problems with accuracy while others are saying that their fingerprints no longer work to open up their device.
These issues might require a direct fix from Apple but there are some things you can try if Touch ID starts acting up.
- How to Fix Touch ID Failures
If Touch ID suddenly stops working, try re-training your fingerprints. Before doing this you’ll want to make sure you that dirt and sweat are removed from the Touch ID sensor and that oil is removed from your hands.
Next. go to Settings > Touch ID & Passcode > Enter your Passcode. On the next screen swipe from right to left on each fingerprint to delete them. When this is complete you can tap on Add a Fingerprint… to re-train Touch ID.
- How to Fix Touch ID Problems in App Store
If you’re unable to use Touch ID in the App Store, try this fix. First go to Settings > Touch ID & Passcode > Enter your Passcode. Then turn off iTunes & App Store. Reboot your iPhone or iPad. Go back to Touch ID & Passcode in Settings and turn iTunes & App Store back on.
- How to Fix Touch ID If It’s Not Working at All
If it stops working, try resetting the phone by holding down the home button and the power button for 10 seconds or until the phone restarts.
If that doesn’t work, you might want to try a factory reset as this has been known to dislodge major Touch ID problems. The instructions can be found at the bottom of this page.
How to Fix iOS 9 Cellular Data Problems
We’re also seeing iOS 9 users complain about issues with cellular data. We’ve seen the list of complaints grow in the months since the iOS 9 release.
This is another common iOS problem and one that should affect various iOS 9 users in the weeks to come. Cellular data issues can be tricky but there are a few known fixes for them.
If you’re sure that these issues don’t have anything to do with an outage, either at Apple or device’s service provider, you’ll want to first try restarting your device. Power it down, slide to turn it off, and reboot it. It’s simple but it has squashed cellular issues in the past.
If that restart doesn’t help, try toggling Cellular Data off and on in your device’s Settings. To do that go into Settings > Cellular > Cellular Data > Toggle Off. After you toggle it off, toggle it back on and see if that doesn’t help.
If that doesn’t work, try flipping Airplane Mode on for 30 seconds before turning it back off again. Airplane Mode kills all connections on your device. The Airplane Mode function can be found at the top of your Settings
If the problem is with LTE, try shutting LTE off for a few minutes. To shut it down, go into Settings > Cellular > Enable LTE > Off. Flip it back on when ready.
How to Fix iOS 9 Bluetooth Problems
Bluetooth issues are among the most common iOS problems and we’re not surprised to see them affecting iOS 9 users after the iOS 9.3.2 release.
Like cellular data problems, these can be a little tricky to fix because of the sheer number of Bluetooth devices out there. Here are a few things to try.
The first thing you’ll want to do is reset your device’s Network Settings. To get that done go to Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings. Your device will forget the Bluetooth device and you’ll now have to reconnect.
If that doesn’t dislodge your problem, you’ll want to try forgetting the Bluetooth connection. To do that go to Settings > Bluetooth > Select your connection using the circular blue i tab > Tap Forget this Device. Try reconnecting.
You can also try resetting all of your settings. This has worked for us in the past and there’s a chance it will work for you.
To reset all of your settings go to Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings. This process could take a few minutes and after it’s done, your device’s settings will be restored to factory defaults. In other words, have your Wi-Fi passwords handy.
If you are seeing Bluetooth problems in the car, you’ll want to consult your car’s manual so that you can restart the connection. This could be a little time consuming for some of you so make sure you set aside some quiet time to do it.
Forget the connection and then try reconnecting to the car. If that doesn’t help, you might want to try bringing it into a dealer or car specialist to take a look.
How to Fix iOS 9 App Problems
If you’re running into issues with third-party applications after installing an iOS 9 update, you’ll want to try a few things before throwing your phone against a wall or deleting the app entirely.
First, see if there is a recent update for your app. Developers have been rolling out iOS 9 support updates that could help. For instance, Google recommends iOS 9.3.5 to those encountering connection issues with its Google app.
We’ve downloaded a number of these updates and we haven’t run into any major problems with our apps. Make sure you read reviews from users on the App Store first though.
If that doesn’t work, try reinstalling the application. This has worked for us and many others in the past and it’s worth a shot. Make sure your data is backed up before you do this.
If that doesn’t work, contact the developer and tell them about your problem so that they can address it in a future update.
And finally, if you’re running into a Pokemon Go problem on iOS 9, you’ll want to take a look at our list of fixes for common Pokemon Go problems.
How to Fix iOS 9 App Store Problems
We’ve been seeing complaints about problems with the App Store and downloading updates. This is obviously a big problem and it’s one that appears to be affecting iOS 9.0, iOS 9.1, iOS 9.2, and iOS 9.3 users as well.
There are two known fixes for the problem though they aren’t guaranteed to work for you. The first requires a reset. To do this, hold down the power button and home button. Users are saying that got rid of the issue.
Others are saying that they’ve been able to rapidly tap “Update” on an app before the “Open” symbol appears. Some have said that they’ve had to tap upwards of 10 times for it to work but that it worked in the long run.
We’ve also seen this issue on older iOS updates and the issue simply went away after a short period of time. So if nothing works, be patient.
How to Improve iOS 9 Performance
If you are dealing with performance issues like lag, you’ll want to consult our list of tips to improve the fluidity of iOS.
How to Fix iOS 9 iMessage Problems
If you’re seeing problems with Messages, the first thing you’ll want to do is toggle the feature off and on again.
Go into your Settings > Messages > Toggle iMessage off then back on. This fix has worked for us in the past and it’s the first thing you’ll want to try out.
If that quick fix doesn’t work, reboot your device.
And if a reboot doesn’t work, head into your settings and reset Network Settings. Head into Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings. This will cause your device to forget your connections so make sure you have your Wi-Fi passwords handy.
How to Fix iOS 9 Problems If Nothing Works
If you’re dealing with an iOS 9 problem that’s not listed here, you’ll want to head to Apple’s discussion forums and take a look around. Users there are typically very helpful, and knowledgeable, and that’s a great place to start.
If you’re still experiencing Apple Music problems on iOS 9, you’ll want to head to the Apple Music discussion forum.
If you can’t fix the problem with any of those, take your device into an Apple Store. Schedule an appointment at the Genius Bar and see if the geniuses there can’t diagnose your problem.
If you don’t want to do that, get in contact with Apple Support via Twitter to see if they have a remedy for your issue.
You can also try factory resetting your device and restoring from a backup or starting over from scratch.
To do this you’ll need to first make a backup of your important files via iTunes or iCloud. This is important, even if you plan to start from scratch.
After you’ve successfully backed up your device, head into Settings and scroll to the bottom and select Reset. From there select Reset All Content and Settings. This is going to wipe your device and restore it to the way it was when you first bought it.
From there you can either start using the phone as is or restore from the backup you just made.
Install iOS 12.5.6 for Better Security | |||||||||||||||
 | |||||||||||||||
If you're on the fence, here's one of the best reasons to install iOS 12.5.6 right away. iOS 12.5.6 has a vital security patch on board and it will protect your device(s) from harm. If you want the details, head over to Apple's website. If you missed the iOS 12.5.5 update, it brought three security patches to your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch. You can learn more about the trio on Apple's security site. If you missed iOS 12.5.4, you'll get that update's important security upgrades with your iOS 12.5.6 update. If you're interested in the particulars, head on over to Apple's website for more. If you skipped iOS 12.5.3, you'll get its security patches with your upgrade. Both of its patches were related to WebKit. If you want to learn more about them, head on over to Apple's security site. If you skipped iOS 12.5.2, you'll also get its security patch with your upgrade. You can read more about it over on Apple's website. If you also skipped iOS 12.5, you'll also get its patch with your upgrade. Apple's outlined the update's patch in detail on its security site. If you missed iOS 12.4.9, you'll also get its four security patches with your upgrade. You can read more about those right here. If you skipped iOS 12.4.7, you also get the update's three security patches (two for the Mail app and one for Wi-Fi) with your upgrade to iOS 12.5.6. If you're running software that's older than Apple's iOS 12.4.4 update, you'll want to download iOS 12.5.6 in the near future because it brings iOS 12.4.4's security patch to your device. You can read about it right here. If you're running software older than iOS 12.4.2, you'll get an its patch with your upgrade. You can read about the security contents of iOS 12.4.2 right here. If you're on software that's older than iOS 12.4.1, you'll get iOS 12.4.1's security patch with your iOS 12.5.6 update. You can read about that patch right here. If you're on software that's older than iOS 12.4, you get iOS 12.4's patches with your iOS 12.5.6 update. iOS 12.4 brought 19 security patches to the iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch. If you're interested in the specifics, you can read about them on Apple's security site. If you're running software older than iOS 12.3, your iOS 12.5.6 update carries iOS 12.3's security patches on board. The iOS 12.3 update brought 23 patches and you can read about all of them right here on Apple's site. If you're on software that's older than iOS 12.2, you'll get iOS 12.2's security patches with your version of iOS 12.5.6. iOS 12.2 brought a whopping 41 security patches to iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch. You can read more about the iOS 12.2's patches over on the company's website. It's important to note that Apple's iOS 12.2 update patched up an exploit that allowed websites to use motion sensors to "fingerprint" devices. The exploit, discovered by researchers in Europe, uses JavaScript to snag data from a device's accelerometer, gyroscope, and magnetometer when the user visits an infected website. If the attack is successful, a device can be tracked around the internet. Fortunately, Apple's patched up the issue. If you skipped it, you'll probably want to move to iOS 12.5.6 soon. If you're on software older than iOS 12.1.4, you get four important security patches including fixes for a widespread FaceTime eavesdropping bug that lets you call someone via FaceTime and hear the audio coming from their phone before they pick up the phone. If you're on software older than iOS 12.1.3, you get some additional patches with your version of iOS 12.5.6. Again, they're baked into your upgrade. Apple lists a grand total of 23 patches on board iOS 12.1.3 and you can read about all of them over on Apple's website. If you're on software older than iOS 12.1.1, you should install the iOS 12.5.6 update on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch today. The iOS 12.1.1 update brought 17 patches for potential security exploits. They'll will help protect your phone. You can read about them here. If you're running software older than iOS 12.1, you'll get 24 patches from that update with your version of iOS 12.5.5. If you're on software that's older than iOS 12.0.1, your iOS 12.5.6 update brings two additional patches. Both patches are for potential lock screen exploits. Long story long, if you store sensitive data on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, you have some really good reasons to upgrade to iOS 12.5.6 today. | |||||||||||||||

My screen freezes when I use the phone icon. I can’t dial, use contacts or switch to recent calls without having to shut the phone off completely. I had problems with google maps today. It took 10 minutes before my phone hooked into Bluetooth in my car today. It’s ridiculous! I use this phone for my job. Very frustrating, can I undo the upgrade?

Ankur I had the same problem also! However, after I did a “soft” restart (powered the phone off & restarted it) the phone worked properly. However, I have lost all of my downloaded music (over 8,800 songs!). The only music that is available are the few itunes songs I have purchased.

My daughter’s phone had the same issue. So, I connected the phone to my computer, downloaded all her pics and contacts to the computer and then I did the “Restore iPhone” option on iTunes. Went through the whole process of restoring the phone and when it was back on I updated the phone again to the new update and when through that whole process too and that fixed the issue for me. I hope this works for you guys!! Good luck.

09/23/2015 at 3:21 pm
Okay – So I am happy to say that I fixed my phone. Thanks to my 16 yr old. lol
My phone would keep going back to “Swipe to upgrade” and wouldn’t do anything else. Spoke with Tech support at Apple and after the lady trying to help me and nothing worked she said I would have to restore the phone.(and lose everything) I decided to wait till my kids got home from school to see if they had any idea’s and all we did was repeated the process that the tech lady had me do and it worked the second time. So I connected my phone to the computer and logged into Itunes. Then I held down the home and power button for about 20 seconds until the Itunes icon appeared on my phone screen. Then you click the update software button on the computer and wait for it to download new software for your phone. (Do not click Restore) it didn’t work for me the first time but was a success the second try.

Charles, I am having the same problem. I keep getting the side to upgrade screen and then can’t get in. This article doesn’t really help and what makes it annoying is that he keeps saying go to your settings. I can’t get to my settings because I can’t get the phone to work. I get as far as the WiFi and then it takes me back to the upgrade screen and I can’t get in. HELP PLEASE

09/18/2015 at 4:08 am
Same issue on my iphone 4s, tried rebooting it three times with the lock and home button and it takes me through two steps: it tells me to press ‘continue’ which i do and then tells to connect to wifi which do and works perfectly but then…. it gets stuck on ‘slide to upgrade’ and there isn’t anyway i am able to slide it as it just freezes. Although the ‘slide to upgrade’ is shining like it does normally on an iphone when you go to unlock it. I have no idea what to do as the only way i can get it to work it to factory restore but it says i have find my iphone on which i didn’t know about, but the only way on turning that off is to go to my phones settings and turn it off, which i obviously can’t as i can’t get onto my phone!!! Really do not know what to do and i’m not paying to talk to an apple support person as it will cost me £25 for them to tell me what i’ve already tried!
Mary
09/18/2015 at 2:05 pm
So sorry to hear this Carys. I went to Apple and they told me I would have to have the phone reset back to original settings. I checked with a guy I know that works on Apple phones and he said the same thing. I read what Charles read and am going to try to do that if I can find someone with a mac computer (mine is not working, it was over heating earlier this week). It is worth a shot at this point so i don’t lose everything on my phone.. Next phone will not be an iphone.

The update was the easy part but now I can’t make or receive phone calls. I can get text and use internet but that is it. I have done all the basic turn off and back on, same with airplane mode and cellular. I have reset network and nothing. I am trying not to have to reset.

Tina

I am sorry I don’t have the code for T-mobile only sprint, you have to call t-mobile tech support I asked the sprint guy if their code would work on on providers and he didn’t think so. If you go lower in this sting of postings I posted the sprint directions, you can give it a try and if it works great if not then you have to call t-mobile

Well, I had contact with Apple support, very nice and helpful person. We started all over by powering down the Iphone thru pressing both pwr and home button for a long time and simultaneously
aonnected to the Imac.
When you do so the Apple logo will appear and when you still keep pressing pwr and home, the logo will disappear and then a complete new logo appears: Itunes combined the an immage of the apple connector-cable.
In Itunes on your Mac, there is now a possibility to choose for update or restore.
From here on, the Mac will help you on.
MIND YOU (!): it didn’t work for me (same problem turning up…stucl at the” slide to update”, but that might be due to my backups (?)…hope it will work for you..
Don’t try to contact me thru this forum for further explanation as I will start my summer holiday this afternoon…without my phone :-((
Good luck to you all from Germany, best regards, Charles

I’m having the same problem signing in with Apple ID. My phone got stuck in the “swipe to update” loop. After three hours of research and trying suggestions I finally had to reset the phone. Now I can’t log into Apple ID. I can go to the Apple ID website and log in (and my account is also verified) so I know the password is correct. I’ve even tried resetting my Apple ID password with my phone but that doesn’t work either. Ugh!!! I’m frustrated. Please post any solutions and I’ll do likewise (if I can find one).

Autry
09/18/2015 at 2:03 pm
THIS IS NOT A MINOR PROBLEM. I am BEYOND pissed about this. I keep SLIDING TO UPGRADE and it shows the apple logo and loads and then goes right back to > slide to upgrade. I have a 4s 8GB and I wasn’t able to update at all to ios 8 because of storage reasons. I was fine with that. Today I deleted something that gave me enough space to be able to install ios 9. I was so excited that I could finally update. WELL I should’ve just stayed with ios 7. I can’t use my freaking phone! Even if they come up with a solution, how do we get it fixed if we can’t get into our phones??? I am not paying for anything. Multiple people are having the same issue.
Mary
09/18/2015 at 2:11 pm
Autry,
I can relate so much to your problem. I also have a 4s with 8gb and couldn’t do a ios8 upgrade because of storage that when I saw the ios 9 I was excited and when it started downloading I thought, oh how nice. Yeah how nice that Apple just screwed up my phone and the only solution they can give me is that I will have to lose everything on my phone. The guy at Apple says did you back it up. No sir I can’t because my Apple computer isn’t working due to over heating problems. He says oh you should back up the stuff on your computer before they use it. Duhhhhh, I can’t back up because can’t turn it on, I don’t want it crashing. It has been two days and they still haven’t called me back. I am so disheartened.
Judy
09/23/2015 at 8:22 am
Mary, I talked to Apple and was told they are getting rid of the older phones. They want people to get new ones. My mother had the same phone you have, I ended up getting her the 6 because without the updates there were things she couldn’t do. You might have to get a new model. Sorry to hear everyone is still having problems. Good luck
R Brown
09/23/2015 at 8:53 am
Apple has NO RIGHT to get rid of the older phones. It should be the consumer’s decision when to purchase a new phone not be forced into upgrading because of the malicious attempts by a company to sell more of their (newer) product. This is NOT right. We bought our phones with the impression that we would get support from Apple, not that they would sabotage it with a destructive upgrade. My next phone is not going to be an Apple and my next computer will not be a MAC! Just lost a great deal of respect for this company!!!

I just found out there are problems and I have no clue what do do.
I’m only having a problem with my screen flashing on and off whenever I’m trying to turn on my speaker during a call. Also, it flashes on and off whenever I’m trying to type in my code to get my voicemail. It’s frustrating.

Tina – what is the instructions and code to fix the phone?
Tina
09/18/2015 at 6:49 pm
This will only work for sprint users,
1. Turn you wifi on and connect
2. Then go to your phone dialing pad and dial ##873283# then hit the dial button
3. You will get a screen that pops up sorry I don’t recall what it said then hit ok, you should get a second screen that pops up and hit ok, if you get a fail then you are not connected to a wifi
4. then try making a call if it doesn’t go through then go to the settings>celluar>turn cellular data off and back on (I had to do this step and it worked for me) then try to make a call
The explanation I got was I had to reconnect my calling connection with a tower, hope this helps

I absolutely cannot stand this whole swiping left for a search bar addition. I want this removed from my phone. I accidentally bump it all the time and now it takes me to that stupid search screen that I don’t need. Please tell me how I can remove this. If I want to search, I scroll down, I don’t need to scroll left to do it too. I am very particular and I know this seems minor to some, but it’s EXTREMELY frustrating to me.

Siri is screwed up! It was working fine when I installed it, but hours later Siri responds with text only. There is no voice response. It’s as if Siri has gone Mute. And don’t give me that crap about adjusting the volume because I have done that, in fact that was the first thing that I did and Siri still remain silent!
Saman
09/21/2015 at 4:16 pm
I have exactly the same problem as you. Siri was working fine. I updated to iOS 9, still worked fine. After a couple of hours, bang! Siri only responds with text. It works perfectly fine, but it just doesn’t speak. Also, I should mention that I hear the “ding” sound, so the problem isn’t with volume or something like that (in iOS 9, when you press and hold the home button, Siri doesn’t make that “ding” sound, and nor does it for me. But when you ask it to call some one, for instance, it then makes the “ding” sound (which it always did). I can hear that well! But Siri doesn’t say a word. I tried all of these:
Turning volume up while Siri is supposed to be talking.
Trying it with headsets. No difference.
Turning phone on and off several times.
Turning Wi-Fi on and off. The problem persists with both Wi-Fi and LTE.
Turning my wireless modem on and off.
Turning Siri on and off several times.
Changing Siri’s voice to Male/British accent/ … . Didn’t help. When you change the voice, the preview can be heard perfectly fine. But Siri won’t talk.
Switching “Hey Siri|” on and off.
Trying it while charging the phone.
The only thing I didn’t try is resetting my phone (reset all settings, etc.), which I’m not planning to do just yet.
I found that some other people have this problem, too. Seems like the problem occured in the beta versions of iOS 9:

I spent 4 hours this morning trying to correct the damage done to my phone by the IOS 9 update, then an additional 5 hours resetting and re-configuring with no luck. My entire Saturday spend on a phone calls. I was told that due to the high volume of people trying to update that their server crashed.I was also told that there was a glitch in IOS9 that caused many problems. I got through the entire process only to have the screen freeze up on the final step. It says, “slid to upgrade”. My iPhone 5s will not allow me to slide the screen. It’s stuck. It is INCREDIBLY frustrating!! All my work contacts, and daily communications are completely unavailable. I am so stressed out! I’ll be seeking reimbursement for the days that I am without service. The 4 people i spoke with at Apple were very kind but couldn’t accomplish anything! THIS is ridiculous!

Frustrated and heart broken,I lost all my pictures of family who are no longer alive. Notes that were only on my phone and numbers of friends who have moved on to new jobs. Angry because they are using us to fix their issues at our personal expense. I spent over 3 hours on this issue along with the lose of communication for a day and all my work e- mails. I will now be hours behind on Monday since that is the soonest I can arrange to have my phone set up to receive work emails. I lost precious memories because I did their update that acted like a virus, very unhappy with Apple

Mine too but just one day. The day he was in hospital. They were there one day and gone the next. Not happy. Have never had to back up before upgrade before and didnt this time And to make it worst it was just this day why could it not have been the next. I didn’t upgrade on the of the hospital visit and my keyboard is slow I press the letters and it is slow to appear. Hence more mistakes and longer to type

I had issues with IOS 9 on my iphone 5c and Ipad mini. I could not get mail from work on my devices. I tried reinstalling 8.4.1 on my own but had trouble with that.
I contacted apple and I spoke to very nice and helpful techies. I scheduled a callback and the supervisor who called me back took the time to walk me through the process of reinstalling 8.4.1 from scratch on my devices, It took a while but now I can get back to getting my work emails on lotus notes.
I suggest that anyone using corporate mail accounts check with their IT department a work before upgrading their devices to make sure the ios is compatible with the network.

After pressing the home button, and then returning to the app will remove the black screen. How do we fix this?

I can still text and hit send and its all there but I CANT SEE WHAT I TEXTING UNTIL I SEND IT. Any suggestions???

Did you ever find a solution for the voice box that covers the text input?? Mine is doing the same thing. The only way to avoid it is to go to write a new text and start typing the name in and enter the text that way. Anytime I just click a conversation it shows up and I can’t see the text til I send it.
Deb Norton

You get the counter in the text box when respond to a text from someone. If you create a new text, put in their name, you won’t get it.

I’m an unhappy iPad owner whose 1-year-old iPad Air now fails to connect to the Internet following the iOS 9 update. I reset all wireless connections, rebooted my router, etc. The fact is, now the iPad can’t communicate with any wireless networks, not even the network in the Apple Store. This renders it useless. I expect careless updates from Microsoft, but it now appears Apple is guilty of the very same thing.
What was so urgent that Apple had to push out such a massive and destructive update?

Since I installed iOS9, I now have problems opening some previously opened emails that I had received. The message coming up says, this message has not been downloaded from the server. I know this is wrong because I have opened and read the email previously. Please help me Apple.

Don’t blame you. I hate getting the stupid update notices. Why do they keep messing with the IOS versions? They always cause problems, and usually not enough room for them on older phones.

All my old email appear as headings, but when I open the email all the content tries to download.
Seriously most of my emails have being lost from my IPHONE. I am thinking of what actions I can take against iPhone as I have lost the content to 90% of my emails!!
Absolutely pathetic, phone and system.

There is one sucker borne every minute, and that must mean all the people that purchase IPhones.

I think I have the solution.
Take your IPhone as I will take mine and place it on the bench. Take a large pot of water and place it on the stove, place a brick in the water (no don’t smash your IPhones) when the water is boiling place your (and mine) IPhone in the hot water. When the brick is tender take the brick out and eat it, until then leave your IPhone in the boiling water.

Since installing IOS9 have had crashes and freezing on everything from messages to safari. Facebook used to be smooth, but is now jittery when scrolling. Keystrokes on safari searches seem to pile up then enter quickly all at once. My contacts list keeps going back to all icloud accounts even though I have changed it repeatedly. I really hate ios9 on my 6plus and wish I had never upgraded.

Since updating to ISO9 I am no longer able to log on to emails on other Apple devices. When re-entering the pass word the message says you have to be of a certain age to perform this action. I am 47 how old do I need to be? Also my iPhone 4s 16Gb battery life is shocking it doesn’t last as long some applications drain it very quickly I’ve not experienced this before and the screen goes black. Applications are slow and wifi connection is also extremely slow. I wish I didn’t update now. Come on Apple get these issues sorted, you have many unhappy customers.

Pat
09/21/2015 at 10:11 pm
Had same problem with mine, there was no trash folder for it to go to. There is an Icloud trash folder, but you need a trash folder on your ISP for it to be deleted to. I had them stumped for hours at Verizon with mine. Had to log into my ISP (email account) and create a trash on their server for it to go to.

11/30/2015 at 10:14 am
If your using Gmail as your calendar’s backbone… The settings on the gmail will override the iPhone. Let me know is this is the case and I will post a follow-up with the fix. I had to do this with mine and its works.

After upgrading iphone6 plus to ios9 cannot activate iMessage. Have tried all suggestions to no avail. Just finally ends up ‘waiting for activation’. Also am not able to send or receive text messages. Updated IPad Air and it is fine (as far as I can tell). What gives Apple? A horrendous job. Fire your developers and find some who do some software testing before pushing out such a flawed product to millions of irate consumers.

5C upgraded to iOS9: phone won’t charge unless it is plugged into Mac, apple provided cables and chargers are registering as unapproved (yes, I cleaned out the ports already) so no wall chargers or cables work (tried all 10 I own, all from Apple store, and even one that is working through Mac is saying unapproved), phone won’t turn off- turns back on by itself, iTunes on Mac won’t recognize as a device. SO MANY PROBLEMS. I have tried turning off, putting in airplane mode and turning off, hard reboot (home and off button simultaneously) and restoring from most recent iCloud backup. NOTHING WORKS. Any ideas would be appreciated.

Philip
09/23/2015 at 3:55 am
Ha,
ITunes just asked me if I wanted to up date my laptop. Is Apple that dumb, that they think I trust them after what has happened to my IPhone. Just a joke, and an expensive one for me considering what I have lost on my phone.
My phone has never improved for any update I have down loaded. All they want to do is track what I and you do and send and receive and look at.
They have gone to far.
How could they not test something before they put it to market!!!
Is any one thinking of running a class action against them?

My iphone 5 worked quite well prior to IOS 9. Now the email lags and email history vanished. Screen flickers from low to bright. Extreme lag. One has to question whether the stratagem employed is to obliterate older products. Therefore, the necessity to purchase new products. Eps will certainly benefit. This is very reminiscent of what happened with my iphone 3 when the iphone 4s arrived and another IOS system upgrade.
Veronique FP (@FromParis14)
09/23/2015 at 8:29 am
It is a known problem to Apple. Their IT is working on it to solve the problem. I can’t install IOS 9, can’t restart, can’t reset or switch off my phone…First time, it is happening but how long it will take to solve the problem and have our phone work…good question. Must contact Apple Assistance to let them know you have a problem. They know it doesn’t come from the phone itself but from the IOS 9.

GPS worked for 10 minutes after the upgrade. Now it’s dead. I waited for this update to hopefully remedy the same GPS issue that plagued 8.4. No such luck. The good ol’ 3GS still works flawlessly, but 9.0 on the iPod Touch has killed the GPS again. ARGH!!!

My Bluetooth headphones were working perfectly before the update. After the update, none of my Bluetooth devices are discoverable on my iPad…just get the never ending spinning wheel. The suggested fixes don’t work. Also, there’s a 10 to 15 second delay before my keystrokes appear when posting a comment or performing an Internet search. Who knows what else is now broken??
Apple really needs to do a better job of thoroughly testing these updates before releasing them!!

Hi all, I’m having trouble with notes! When I type into the search bar to find specific notes doesn’t find anything. Even if I test and make a new note let’s say called ( 123abc ) and then type that into the search bar it can not find it.
I run my business off the notes app… I now can not find any of my clients via search. I have to physically look through every note… Not impressed!
Does anyone have a fix for this? Is anyone else experiencing this?
Is there an app out there that will allow me to export my current notes ?

12/10/2015 at 1:59 am
Yep Phil, I have the exact same problem, it is the most FRUSTRATING thing Apple have ever made me go through, I’m still reeling.
My solution – I switched to Evernotes. I use their free plan. I just select the notes I want from my Notes and paste into a new folder on Evernotes and it works perfectly now – they have a great search feature that’s brilliant. Plus Evernotes syncs on your phone, ipad, desktop, whatever. Its a pain to have to move everything from iphone Notes because I’ve built those notes for many many years now so I’m just moving one at a time as and when needed.
I will never forgive Apple for subjecting me to this inconvenience in the name of an update!

ultimate solution to take control of file system of IOS, without hassle of jail breaking:
1- buy this windows program iexplorer
2- download all your notes (and any thing else you want from ios file system. acts like a file manager) and copy to your pc hard disk
3- get agent ransack (free) and serach in he hard disk. find any thing you want. score of windows search is 2 score of agent ransack is 100
4- if you have questions email me directly alexander.markov.nz at gmail dot com
this blog has errors in its code and is annoyingly slow and i do nit bother to open this page ever again.

Let’s see… iOs9 made my iPhone 6 act crappy so I attempted to reinstall and the phone stayed on the apple screen (the progress bar stopped at 13%) and didn’t move for 5 hours. So I attempted an iTunes factory reset and the download timed out at 80% after 3 hours. Then my iPhone 6 started to get hot, so hot I burned my hand. I called Apple and the safety complaint team arranged for me to go to the Apple store in the morning to get a new iPhone 6 and new $120 protective case for free. Good job Apple development team! I’m certain that phone was gonna burn my house down.

Messages cannot be sent because then suddenly erase themselves. But something so strange that i wondered if i was for real, i asked siri a question and she answered “could you repeat that english is not my mother language?? It gets worse. I asked her what her mother language was: “I could tell you the name of it but you would not be able to understand it” just in case you are wondering if I am insane I was ready this second time and used my phone to record it.I speak english, swedish and german and tried the german version of siri a couple of times for fun. i thought this is impossible. How can the english version speak any german at ALL! And what is the language who’s name cannot be pronounced? I would welcome any comment at all. Is she telling me that she speaks only artificial languages?

you left out the BIGGEST problem it is that ios 9 only reports as 60 mb in the usage and deleting it KEEPS the files there (4GB since ios 8 had accumulated (ios 9 bought my usage to 4 gb total 9.0.1 went to 5.4 gb used out of 6 came out)) is there a FIX for that (freshly restored the total is only in the 1-2 gb range)

How did you reset the settings? Mine just started having the voice record grey bar in my text bar. I have done a forced restart and that fixes it but only for a few hours. Now it’s only opening horizontal even if I try unlocking the screen, which obviously has never been a problem before. This is so annoying!! :/

Thanks all of you posters for making my choice clear. Until there is a IOS 9.1… The writer and Apple can kiss my arse. No one mentioned what happens when you are in the middle of DL the IOS when it freezes up or fails to DL. Your $600 phone becomes a $600 coaster for your drinks. Happened to me when I tried to DL 9.0 and it took me a full day to get it back to SOMEWHAT a condition before the DL. I learned NEVER DL and update at the same time. DL first and when its saved THEN update. 9.0.1 has reported server problems 3 times already. Funny thing too…no matter what problem with computers..its ALWAYS your fault. Not the website or the web or the ISP…its always you that is at fault. *SMH*

just restart the device. I had a user id which was not an email. As soon as I installed ios9, it asked for a user id which is an email. You have to pass this step to be able to work with your phone. I seatched all forums and could not find anything. Just had to merge the id with email on my laptop, and had to give it some time, and restarted the phone. it worked

It’s cost all of us a lot of time and money. I have spent over 4 hours solving this problem and I still can’t let my battery die or I have to go through the whole update process again on my computer. The guys at AppleCare have been great but honestly, no word from the Apple on this “update” which has caused so many problems! This is just really bad customer/consumer relations. My next phone will NOT be an iPhone (and no Apple – I am not buying the iPhone 6 no matter how badly you screw up the 4s and 5s) and my next computer will NOT be a Mac!

I need calendar help with the IOS9.1. The only way you can check out on a future date (to my knowledge) is to put it on “today” mode and scroll through the dates all the way to the date you want to see if anything is on the calendar. Before you could just touch the future date and it would come up.

Stupid IOS 9.0.2 upgrade. Why did I do it. Now, Siri doesn’t work at all. You ask it to for directions that I’ve always asked before, and it starts calling someone else instead. My text messaging doesn’t work now. Has a gray bar where you type with 0.00 in it. Can’t get rid of it. The phone no longer works in my Prius which is even more annoying. This is a terrible upgrade. Even worse than 9.0, 9.01 and everything after 8.4
Aimee
10/14/2015 at 3:15 pm
Were you able to find a solution to the grey bar text issue? Mine just started yesterday and it goes away after a forced restart but that’s getting annoying. Tonight when I go to open a text it will only open horizontal :/

Seriously – just another piece of shit Apple product. One of the only companies that has multiple bugs on every damn product they release.

10/05/2015 at 1:48 pm
About 50% of the time that I pick up the phone in a locked state and then push the home button to turn the screen on , Siri will come up on the screen instead of my usual pin code pad. It’s really annoying. Maybe it thinks I’m pressing home twice or if it has some sort of motion gesture from me picking it up a certain way? Also the phone is incredibly laggy and slow now. It’s a 4S 8gv. Hopefully another update will solve this as the first iOS 8 was laggy but one of the updates managed to make it more fluid again. As for Siri I may just doable it for now as I rarely use it.

Recently my iPhone 6 is showing different magic tricks…. even if sitting 5 feet from the router it shows only one bar for wifi in the phone and as soon as i move away it transfers itself to cellular data. Also, during the call even with full network, the voice cracks a lot which eventually leads to call drop. I am Frustrated about these issues. I tried all the fixes: 1) Restart the phone 2) Hard Restarting the phone 3) Reset Network Settings 4) Reset all settings… After all this it would work fine for say 15 mins. max and then again the Problems immense. I have an ipad and an iphone 5s also , nothing is wrong with those devices.

Seriously, that is the weirdest thing I ever heard a phone do. I sounds reminiscent of malware (virus/hack).
If ever someone needed to wipe a phone and do a restore from backup it’s you.
If no backup then a complete reset to factory settings and start from scratch.

Ever since I downloaded the newest version of iOS 9 my music apps have been so buggy, and it’s annoying, I can’t even listen to my music. It’s constantly skipping, fastforwarding, not making sound, pausing, playing, and scratchy. Plus, on top of that Siri keeps popping up even though I haven’t did anything to bring her up.

Since IOS9.0.2 upgrade to my iPhone 6, when I try to message someone I get a gray lozenge in the space where you see what you typed. It obscures the message I’m typing so I can’t see what I just did. How do you get rid of this? It’s really irritating.
Susan
10/20/2015 at 9:53 am
I got the same thing and once I did a shutdown and startup, it cleared. Hopefully you found the same fix. I also have a problem where when I mute my phone, or use the Air Drop feature, that my phone no longer ringers when I get an incoming text or phone call. All other sound featuers work except that. So of course, I have to turn off my phone and turn it back on everyday, since I mute my phone at work. Ugh…I will no longer push new software until 1 month later and hopefully the bugs will be fixed by then.

I used to think Apple was the best but i am so frustrated. Tried going onto customer support but couldn’t get support, said I wasn’t eligible. It’s their fault it was all fine before the last update. I certainly won’t buy another one, roll on Samsung

I am not an Apple user (thank god) but my daughter is. She had just gotten an iphone 5 in March so its not too old of a phone. Ever since she did the ois9 up date she has not been able to use her phone for anything. She is having problems with school now because it has deleted all her work!!! If this is not corrected asap by Apple I have a strong feeling they are going to loss major $$$$. At this point I know I won’t be purchasing another Apple product for my kid unless they move fast… FIX IT APPLE!!!! YOU ARE THE ONES WHO BROKE THEM SO NOW FIX THEM!!! FIX EVERYONES PHONES!!!

thanks for writing the article. I am experiencing some kind of bug or key issue with my iPad since installing the ioS9. It seems to be stuck in an area, flies through pages during reading on Kindle, opens random things in the area when I look for updates and has even typed certain letters or characters continuously not allowing me to put in passwords and such. I have been been repeatedly turning it off, etc to help, but nothing has worked. The update has helped a little, but still having reading issues. Any ideas?

–unable to remove app via iTunes
Any tips/Tricks? I don’t want to re-image then re-install apps – this is ridiculous amount of effort for such basic user activities.

“…If your screen stops responding to touches and swipes, you’ll want to hold down the power button and home button at the same time. Wait for the phone to reboot and then try to use your screen like you normally do….”
Are you for real? My keyboard is constantly going non-responsive. Apple expects me to reboot the phone every time it gets like this? I sure hope there is a REAL fix coming for this. This might be the thing that moves me from Apple to an Android. This is infuriating. And you can never go BACK to an earlier iOS release (everything worked fine in iOS 8).

I have used these instructions to help someone restore their phone. They had previously backed up their phone to iCloud so when we restored it everything was back!!
We were referred to https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5607763?tstart=0
Basically….
Connect to iTunes through a computer. It asked to connect to the phone and do something on the phone which of course we couldn’t do cos everything was locked up! So we held the power button down and kept holding even when we saw slide for off. We didn’t slide, we then held the home button down at the same time. iTunes symbol and cord symbol came up on screen so we let go. On the computer it asked a few prompts, followed the prompts and clicked restore, then restore and update. Took a while but we saw that the computer was downloading 9.1 and then the phone started going through the restore. ALL GOOD FOR NOW!!

10/29/2015 at 12:39 pm
Not able to search contacts by keywords anymore. For example, if I am looking for “plumber” that I put as generic name in company so I can keep a list of all of them, It will not search them and the screen remains “No Results” This stinks because now I have to scroll thru all the contacts to remember them. Try typing “mom” in your contact search, you know you have her in your phone. She is not found. Any thoughts? Hope someone from Apple sees this.

10/29/2015 at 9:08 pm
Apple, you have truly lost your way…. Things worked very well in 8.2, but you come out with 9. Did you start over with the code? From SCRATCH!? ios9.2 is a POS. I have seen SOOOOOOO many defects in this version on iPad Air and iPhone 5S. App issues. Wifi. Hotspot. Mail. Battery life. etc, etc, etc.
Apple has lost its passion for innovation. It is now a follower, TRYING to copy Samsung, but failing miserably (or perhaps successfully, by having a race to the bottom). The dev team at Apple iOS should ALL be fired, or at least severely reprimanded and have their luxury perks taken from them UNTIL THESE DEFECTS ARE FIXED!!! If Steve Jobs was alive, this BS in poor iOS and software would NEVER EVER have left the dev rooms at Apple!!! There was a reason Jobs was a hard a$$—because he gave a good GD about making sure things were RIGHT before they left to the public. Now, Apple is just like any other tech company—push the garbage out and fix it later, somehow, if possible.

11/03/2015 at 7:36 am
Simply not going to do any more downloads until it is truly fixed. I’m having issues enough without installing more with 9.1! Text messaging is the worst for me. I get some text messages on my ipad but not on my phone. Then, the message box greys out with a 0.0 in the corner. I cannot get rid of this. I cannot see what I am texting to people and the only way it seems to fix is if I switch off my phone and then back on. What a pain!
Mike
11/03/2015 at 7:51 am
Rest assured 9.1 has its share of problems, things getting very slow, increased crashes as well. Tried some of the fixes above, more band aids, IMHO adds to sluggishness. It might be time to step away from the bad apple.

I don’t have time to waste nor interest in devoting a lot of energy to Apples screw up. They need to issue a recall and have everyone turn in the phones they messed up with this update for new, free replacements. My phone used to work. Now it’s crap and I’m supposed to stop my life and TRY to fix their screw up? It’s the same as if they sent all their millions of users a virus and now they turn their backs on us and expect us to search online for solutions. WOuld Steve Jobs have allowed this?
P
11/04/2015 at 2:29 am
What gets me is that they admit to having problems, even before the new up date “iOS 9 betas wiped out a ton of potential bugs”
They already had a ton of bugs before they sent out iOS 9, and now after fixing a ton of bugs they already had!!! They just make it worse and worse and worse.
Thank heavens I had not bought a apple computer, and now never will.

Has anyone considered that this 9.1 mess is an intentional virus planted by Apple to boost their sales? Millions of loyal users will just trash their iphones and go just buy a new iphone? Brilliant scheme. They won’t help us. They just raise their hands and say they don’t know what to do. “Good luck, search the Apple blog for answers or buy a new iphone.”

I think it’s a planned attack by Apple. I have all of the problems described as bugs in this blog and it would take me a devoted couple of 8 hour days to “try” to resolve them. It’ really as if I have a vicious virus. I need a complete new install but it can’t be done and techs tell me I can not step back now. So that is that? Apple is well aware there are millions of us with the same problem. Are they announcing apologies and offerings of a mass replacement or help in some. Not that I see. Please correct me if I am wrong but from my attempts with techs and online they are not addressing the problem from the head office. They seem to enjoy watching all their users squirm. I think it was a planned attack to boost their sales. There is no way I can hope to make this a functioning device again. If I am nuts please tell me.

I have a brand new iPhone 6 with iOS 9.1 on it. Now, the darned thing acts possessed. Yesterday, it was randomly going through apps, contacts, scrolling through screens, and doing all sorts of weird things. It would overreact if I tried to click on something. Went into App Store to see if there was an anti-virus app available, and the thing started selecting all sorts of apps, going into their descriptions, trying to download, etc. Facebook was going nuts. My phone was seriously acting like six people were all trying to use it at the same time. Nothing would stop this behavior until I turned it off. First shut down and power up (after waiting just a few minutes) did nothing. Second power down — left phone off for a couple hours — and the phone appears to be back to normal. I don’t know if there’s a virus, spy software, or if I have been hacked. Scary! And, when I tried to post a question in the Apple Community for Support, I was “not allowed.” No explanation of why. Tried changing topic, question, comments, etc. Nothing would get my post through. And, Apple’s so-called “sandbox” idea is not fool-proof, either. Apple has proven that they can be hacked, so why are they taking away anti-virus apps by known manufacturers? I don’t get it. This is frustrating. And, even more so that I cannot rollback to 9.0.2. Although it too had issues, none were quite as scary as what my phone did yesterday. I’m doing a backup into the Cloud right now, just in case I need to reset this bad boy!

I always put my iPhone 5 to charge at night, and it was fine. But three days ago (after updating to iOS 9),when I woke up, my phone wouldn’t turn on! I tried unplugging and plugging it in, but it still wouldn’t work. It finally turned on, but yesterday morning, it wouldn’t turn on! This morning, I plugged it in and I heard the noise it makes when you plug in an iPhone. When I came back to it later, I touched the bottom left corner of the screen and it turned on the flashlight. I could turn it on and off (the flashlight), but the screen was completely black. I know the iPhone was on.
Has this happened to anyone else?

Reading all of these unending list of symptoms tells me that Apple just isn’t listening and really doesn’t give a hoot. Where is the big official apology? Where is the announcement to help their millions of users they pushed this inferior update on that is messing with everyone’s head? Why must we devote any energy at all to fixing this virus they pushed on us?

after updating to freaking iOS 9.1.1 my iphone 5 started acting crazy. ATM, its been charging for 2 days straight and the battery is still at 3%. Then i thought it might be the battery percentage not working properly. So i did a hard reset (with the home button and power button ) after that it showed me the correct battery 100%. then after like 4 days it started acting up again so i tried the hard reset again and ever since then my phone has been dying continuously if i unplug it from the charger. I don’t even know why. if i pull the charger out, it dies. Then it switches on and dies again after exactly a minute of it being on. then switches off again, and turns on. Finally it stays on but only if it is charging. ARGHHH!!! THE

Dump apple, upgrade to IOS 9 and forced me to try to restore to factory defaults. Then the restore failed with error message 9, called apple, support person said he has seen this happen on multiple versions of Iphones that upgraded. Said to go to store and that was a second disaster, they denied any correlation to IOS 9 and said that will be $300 to fix an Iphone 5s 16G. Show them the multiple links to this problem online and they read a scripted bull response. They are making extreme amounts of money and they won’t stand behind there work. 20 months ago bought 4 iphone 5s phones and battery was draining in 2 hours according to there built in app in IOS. Phone under warranty and took 3 trips to the apple store and raised a big stink before they replace. This time they said they are very proactive in admitting, resolving and communicated their mistakes. I had 4 phones in the lot that ATT said there was a known battery issue. We were NOT contacted. One phone was replace after 3 visits and I forked out the cost of replacing the battery on the other 3 because my time is more valuable then fighting with apple. I have 17 active apple products in my home. It is coming up on time to upgrade laptops, network, backup and other media products. Apple is out!! They got the last penny out of me. The whole point of a pure apple system is there support and inseparability. I hold a masters degree in electrical engineering and work as a principle engineer designing the RF LTE chips that allow the phone to talk to the towers wirelessly.
Bye Bye APPLE

Has an expandable memory with SD card, a stylus, and removable battery. Takes fabulous pictures and just so much more. Frankly, the note 4 is their best one. -Even better than their latest 6.
Oh, and the batter life is out of this world! Lasts really long.

Yes, unfortunately, it has rendered my iPad practically useless because of the lag. apple doesn’t seem to care nor have a actual fix. I don’t think I’ll be buying another apple product. I went back to a Samsung phone and couldn’t be happier.
These products are not inexpensive and so don’t expect them to go bad after the “company” releases an update that is supposed to make it better. apple totally messed up this time and they should be held responsible for it.

Even though I can’t connect to iTunes over my laptop.. Because it says this phone can’t connect with iTunes , error has occurred..
So iOS 9.1 omg my head is paining cause I can’t even check my emails… Anybody pls help me

Ever since I upgraded my iphone 4s to iOS 8.4.1 last February, it has a mind of it’s own. It makes calls, facetimes, opens apps and maps, texts all on it’s own and the battery dies out frequently at about 30%. I have to close the screen to lock it and make it stop and many times I even have to reboot. It used to work fine for weeks at a time, but now it acts up every single day. Sometimes a have to smack it around a little on the back and it works fine for a while after that. There is no way I’m updating to the latest iOS or upgrading to a 5 or 6 with all the problems i’m hearing about. At least I know how to deal with it and it has not given me problems on outgoing or incoming calls I make and receive. I back it up frequently just in case it decides to die out on me one day after one of my smacking episodes. Any suggestions, feel free to comment. Thank you

Yes, these problems are very frustrating. I contacted an apple agent online and his response was that we are “to expect our phones and iPads to slow down with updates”. Really? We aresuppised to expect our expensive equipment to slow down? – to stop working right? Can someone please explain to me what the benefit of the updates are for then? This is what we are to expect from apple from now on? Wow… Way to go apple. What is the purpose of buying their products?
These 9+ updates have made my iPad so slow that it’s not worth using it anymore. But, I’m supposed to expect it to slow down and work right because of their updates?
Really, well, we’ll see if I ever buy another apple product.
I already went back to Samsung for the phone. I guess a Samsung tablet will be next.
-Steve, we miss you man.
I am not bashing the company, it’s just that none of this makes sense!
They have made our equipment slow and almost useless.
Cannot believe apple has done this and they don’t really seem to think it’s a problem.
I have not heard of any plans from them on fixing this.
They want us to update so that our expensive equipment becomes worthless and non-functional. Where is this good for us???
Bad way to treat your loyal customers, apple! -Bad business, bad business.
They have to fix this problem.

Listen, all those lines of code are initially meant to do a certain job… So updates are meant to fix new issues, or solve existing ones… Supposedly you’d want to first fix an existing issue, some other critical issue. Yet, the more lines of code that are added, the slower your device becomes.
Thus, if you can deal with the initially buggy app, you need to understand it is lighter than what follows, (before they do a redesign.) Yet, the issue is that there is a good chance better hardware is added.
My device is the iPad Air 2,
One of the issues is that it checks if there is any contact with the screen, if there isn’t then it sort of sleeps the screen… Hence my Wacom Blue-Tooth Stylus works worse than with the Original iPad Air.
However, that sleeping of the screen means only 20% of the battery is used, in comparison to the original’s 50%, for the same time frame.

Since the last update I can no longer get or send iMessages over cellular data. I’ve tried all the apple suggested fixes and nothing works. Can only get messages on wifi or via text, and once a contact has communicated by text all the iMessage to them can’t even be sent by wifi, just sms.

I rely on my phone and I shouldn’t as since the update no one can call me and I am not getting voicemail messages, I do receive text messages although I can’t message anyone back unless I am at home as that’s the only place my wifi works now. Very frustrated as not a cheap phone. Currently I could buy a $8 (aus) at target that would offer far superior functionality to what this $1229 retarded ois hot rock. Maybe it’s transforming into an iron. Nearly as disappointing as the Sony Z3 Compact I had previously that cooked itself and cracked its own screen.
Oh well maybe I should go for a simpler phone as the more they can do the more they are likely too have problems.
Hold on a second!!! I can ring people but they can’t ring me, that’s a good thing. That’s brilliant and I hate text messaging, again brilliant. This is not frustrating it sheer brilliance. Apple you are saving me time with texting and giving me total control of who I talk to. And I am not the bad guy cause I didn’t know they were trying to contact me, unless they text in which case I can’t text back and they would never guess that I could still call. These conditions are perfect for me as I have a beautiful wife who is incredibly bossy and I often have to do my bosses job as she doesn’t answer her phone when the office need her. No more listening to the problems of friends that see the glass as half empty. All the time this will save me I will spend with my son. Awesome. thanyou apple

well seems ios 9.2 is full of challengers – upgraded to 9.2 and ever since could not find any new photos I took – they just disappeared – after search for a solution I decided to dump the phones memory (home and power button for 5 seconds) – then rebooted the phone – whamo all the lost photos appeared – everything else seems to be working fine – so if you are having similar problems give it a try.

All about iPhones — try iPads. Since the update my iPad has become useless. There are NO fixes. …. I complained. Apple not only threw me off their customer “support” blog – they threatened me if I continued to complain. There were many, many people with the same problems. Some were advised to visit the Apple stores in their area and when they did, they were told there was no fix and they would need to buy the new iPad.
Nice marketing scam Tim Cook —– this is the begin of another fall for Apple. This time there is no Steve Jobs to step back in and make it a truly creative company again. Their “support” non-existent.
I recommend filing an online complaint with the FTC. They will act.

It’s like the drivers keep freezing. Tried full power down & also a full reset in settings. But after a few seconds of video it does the same. Even cleared a lot of previous video & pics to give more available memory but to no avail.

Wait a minute! Apple screws up my iPad totally with their “upgrade” and then I am supposed to spend hours trying to work around THEIR problems?????? NONSENSE. Go to the Apple Forum and you get the same garbage from their “customer experts” and it doesn’t work. Some are being told to contact the stores and then they are told, “Sorry, you need a new iPad/iPhone” Sorry, but my iPad 2 was fully functional and I complained that Apple is NOT fixing them – whether by fault or by design to sell new phones and tablets. So, they remove my comment, then suspend me from using the site.
That is the New Apple. Ain’t Steve Job’s company any more.
And they wonder why sales are falling off.

This is just a general comment and modern tech generally. I’m a geezer having retired recently. We bought our first Gateway in early 1995 except my Wife has been using them back to the 286 years. I’m not a Luddite, I’ve found corrupted files, old files fixed, removed virus’ and other things but I have NEVER BEEN INTERESTED IN THE TECH WORLD. I’m a user of what passes for high tech delivered to the public. I’ll just tell a story I heard given by a man in his 80’s while driving in the Bay Area. This man has been involved with computers since WW2. I don’t remember his name, this was around 2000 I think. He basically lambasted the tech industry for being half baked, greedy, unprofessional and delusional (the dot com “this is a new world! The old business rules don’t apply anymore! Except they did making Silicon Valley look like fools). So obviously this man could do anything with hardware and software but, as with me, he looked at the all this stuff and compared in to earlier time when new tech. wasn’t released with update after update, crap like ios9.2 and a bunch of endless hardware problems. He was saying how the root cause of this was the tech people who work in the industry assume we share the hysterical braying about new products that barely work with them, it’s just so exciting if your a geek. But we DO NOT SHARE YOUR EXCITMENT with this stuff, form follows function, remember that? IT STILL APPLYS. To get back to our gentlemen he said “I have a really nice car, it’s a Buick and it’s a technological marvel. But when I go to the store to get milk do I care about the latest fuel injectors it has, how the new performance gas saving transmission works? I DO NOT! I just want to get into my car, go to the store and back, turn it off knowing that for a number of years it will start the first time and the technology will work”.
Now think of the release of so much buck that comes out of Silicon Valley. Endless updates, incompatibility, it’s endless. If this were 1972 this industry, especially software, would be the laughing stock of Wall St. and the business world. So know this Geeks; we do not share your interest in tinkering, and we find many of your products rather absurd. So here we have a new system for our iPhones. I forgot my rule of never updating to latest shabby operating system and as a result instead on saving me time (remember that quaint idea geeks?) I have to spend a few hours probably fixing my piece of crap 5s iPhone. I’d rather be hiking or visiting my kids anything but working on some tech problem that I have no interest in, remember I’m a user of technology, for the 200th time. Learn to paint or read a book techies, it’s a big wide interesting world out there just waiting for you to come up, show your pasty face to the sun and learn many fun things AWAY from computers and half baked software.

Great story, excellent moral. Too bad Apple isn’t listening. Having worked in the software industry for 20 years, and many years of computer experience before —- I don’t want to spend my time having to correct the problems that bad developers created – perhaps as a new SV marketing technique to force a new purchase. Apple tossed me off their “support blog” after I complained about iOS 9.2 destroying the functionality of my iPad. They are doing nothing to support or fix the problems they created. One person, advised to go to the Apple store, was told by staff that he needed to purchase a new iPhone. Not a unique event from what I am hearing.
Progress in the SV is no longer significant, it’s adding gimmicks, gadgets and shiny new objects to the mix for the morons who have to have the latest. No positive advances in operating systems, no speed gains such as those experienced in the last decade. More ways for software companies and hardware companies to increase their income — and tied to that is a greater and greater loss of privacy as these people have realized the massive income potential from collecting personal data – what you do, when you do it, how often, how you do it, where you are and much more. This is shared with “partners and affiliates” who combine it with other information they get to create a “profile.” The profile is not just used by advertisers, but by banks, credit card companies, insurance companies and others that flag changes in activity that can impact your credit, borrowing power, insurance availability and premiums and much more.
But back to Apple. In closing, it is clear that Apple is not Steve Job’s Apple any more. Innovation is gone (d Dick Tracy watch????) Support is gone. Quality and dependability of the OS gone. A slippery slope for Apple. Sell your stock while it still has value. Steve is not coming back this time.

I updated to ios 9.2 on my Iphone 5c. Immediately I started having problems. The screen didn’t want to respond, it kept making me sign into Itunes, but wouldn’t accept my information (it just kept popping up again and again saying “sign into Itunes,” and wouldn’t let me navigate at all. I had to power down to get away from that). It won’t let me get into ITunes and App Store in settings. My music app opens, but all I can see is a blank screen (with the exception of the words my music and playlists on the bottom of the screen). Ios 9.2 does look and feel wonderful in all other ways, but I would highly suggest waiting to update until Apple comes out with a fix for the problems I have mentioned. The great, just doesn’t outweigh the major inconvenience.

My problem started when I updated to iOS 9.2. When using apps wholly unrelated to the calendar, such as playing a guitar or other musical app, the calendar pops onto the screen from the right side and intrudes into the play surface of the app. I have to interrupt what I’m doing (hopefully not onstage) and put the calendar away.
I have not been able to find a fix for this because search engines cannot understand concepts, just words and simple phrases. There should be online sites regarding how to bypass the inherent “stupidity” of search engines. I can hardly ever find an answer to the question I’m actually asking, just answers to ones I didn’t ask and have no earthly reason to ask!

I got this really weird problem.
I updated my phone last night to IOS 9.2.1, and this afternoon I found out I only had 80 pictures left. So I pressed home button and on off button. Then I had like 660 photos, but still not all. After a while I had 770 or so, which still weren’t all. So I was just waiting for the rest to “show up” but that didn’t happen. Does anyone know what to do?

Try this program. I own several repair stores (iFix Galaxy) and I use it often for data recovery and getting iPhones out of Boot Loops or Error Codes. It doesnt work for all errors but I got and Error 4005 while trying to do a restore on a customers phone and this fixed it. It didnt correct the original issue (Bluetooth/Wifi Greyed out) but it did get the phone booting normally.

OK SOMEONE HELP ME PLEASE! I ran the most recent IOS Update 9.2 on my IPhone 6Plus this morning, and when it was finished, I went in to change my password. After I changed it, it’s not allowing me to log onto my phone now. I contacted Verizon and they contacted Apple. Apple told Verizon that there have been some issues with the most recent update and more than likely, my new password to unlock my phone is non-existent. I am at work, bored as hell and locked out of my phone :( It won’t even accept my thumbprint. They said that the only way to do it is to download iTunes, but seeing that I work in the medical field, we have tight security on our computer network.

My daughter has an iPhone 4. She did an update on it Wednesday evening. Since then, she cannot open and view snap chat videos and things like that. The biggest problem though is that it will not make or receive phone calls. She called me this morning, my phone rang but she said she could not tell through her phone that it started ringing. I then tried calling her back, she heard it ring, but could not hear me through it. What can be done to correct the problem without having to get a new phone?

Just updated to the most recent iOS 9 ….. fixes nothing. iPad 2 has become useless. Apple’s new marketing to force purchase of a new tablet since their sales are faltering. Won’t work. I use it only for nonsense. Next tablet won’t be from Apple. iPad Pro is a joke. Increase screen size to make it less easy to handle. Add some nonsense that few will use, including the new (i lost it already) “pen.” Has no more power or ability to handle real software just simple apps and sever based stuff – the latter because Apple has found a major new income stream in “sharing” their monitoring of anything and everything you do with people who profile and monitor your activities including your banks, insurance companies and others. Read their entire privacy statement – the don’t sell, they “share” data with affiliates and partners………..

I’m having the issue with my Touch ID (home button) not working. It happen immediately after it restarted from being upgraded to 9.2. I read the comment above stating to hold the power & home buttons for 10 seconds to reset the phone. I’m pretty sure that the home button wouldn’t work for that either if the home button is not working at all.

Several months ago, I spoke with business that fixes iphones. They said, ” Do NOT upgrade to the latest OS because it’s actually breaking peoples phones.” I didn’t take it too seriously, because I thought – how could software break the hardware??? So I didn’t upgrade at that point because their comments made me nervous. So the 9.2.1 came out recently and I figured – Oh well, Things must be worked out with this upgrade… So I upgraded. Big mistake. So far, my front camera doesn’t work. Neither does my flashlight. Due to my line of work, I use these things every single day. The Apple tech at the hot line ( of course) said he has never heard of such a thing. -Even though it took me all of 2 minutes on Google for me to find dozens of people with the same issues and more. His comment was, Well, everyone online has a problem.” Like we’re all one big pain in the ass. He told me to reset back to the factory settings. Which I did. and if that doesn’t work, then I need a hardware repair ( he said) at my expense. And told me it’s my phone and there are really no problems with the latest update. I’ve been buying apple product religiously for 21 years. Every device I have is Apple. To call them for help in an effort to solve a problem on their product, caused by their software, and be treated like i’m the only one – so clearly I’m making it up- is absolutely outrageous.This post is merely a short version of the time I’ve spent on dealing with this problem. And obviously I am NOT the “only one” with this issue. If there is a class action lawsuit, count me in. And If I have to buy a new phone, it won’t be Apple. And I will spent hours posting this everywhere I can possibly post. Thanks Apple for rewarding loyalty with a kick in the teeth.

These problems are exactly why I no longer own an iPhone. And the problems also exist with the iPads. And apple wonders why their sales are going down? Who would want to buy a device that will be useless? Their updates have ruined just about every device no matter how new they are.
They really should be held responsible for this. Thus us not just a few people having problems; just about everyone that owns one has problems BIG PROBLEMS with their Very Expensive Devices and apple refuses to acknowledge that they created and caused them.
I say, just stop buying their products. That may make them see we are serious!
Bad products = No Sales!
The rep I cjphatted with online told me “these problems are to be expected”. Really?
Well expect this apple… I will not buy another rotten apple device.
I already switched phone to Samsung and live it.
Tablet will follow…
Note: I intentionally no longer capitalize the “a” in apple. -They don’t deserve it!

What people need to do is begin filing complaints with the FTC. This does bring action and if enough are filed the action against apple will be swift. This information will also be picked up by those nasty lawyers who set up Class Action Suits. This is not the first time apple has done something like this, but with action we can make it the last.

So Apple, what you doing to my phone with your ios 9.2.1? i think you need add a more time to experiment more deeply with your IOS and all the apple device before you release the update on it…. you sucks Apple… You Inhibit my work…

Now the phone is usable again and I don’t need to throw out a perfectly good phone. I hope they can fix these on the next revision, I am ready to go android, really a bad and arrogant way to run a business. They deserve a loss in the stock price, who wants to buy a phone with an operating system that doesn’t work. Steve Jobs would never have tolerated this kind of performance.

Phone calls would cut in and out or pulse the sound about 4 times per second where people could hear me but I could not make out what they were saying. HOORAY for the reset your network – Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings – which resolved the problem, though it was a PAIN to forget and repair my devices and having to reset up my WiFi. The key point: they work again! Thanks for the tip!!!

Apple is on my sh$t list right now. I was forced to update my iOS to view a video my niece sent me, and now my phone has quickly gone to hell. Battery is draining for no reason, the phone is crazy slow, and my camera now only takes Blurry Photos no matter what I do! Apple clearly does not give a damn about dumping these updates onto older phones, and just hoping it drives people to buy a new iPhone. Well that will backfire when people decide to tell Apple to go $%#& themselves, and switch to a competitor! You may think buying-into the latest model is going to help you, but then it’s just a matter of time until the next version comes along and they’re dumping you on that model, too.
