What are /r/iOS8's favorite Products & Services?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

The iTunes Store, App Store, and iBooks Store are currently down for all users, regardless of iOS version. So the good news is, it shouldn't have anything to do with your update.

Technicality Qoute from HN > The technical reason is that while the iPhone 5s has the Secure Enclave co-Processor (SEP), it does not have an Apple Pay Secure Element (SE). The SEP is a ARM TrustZone-like separate processor running a stripped down L4 derived microkernel. This manages encryption keys, the secure boot-loader and OS update signing. The Apple Pay Secure Element is a separate chip which runs a Java-Card-OS. "Cards" in the java-card-OS are cryptographically "personalized" by the payment network (VISA, AMEX, MasterCard) with per-device keys and the device personal account number (DPAN)--the tokenized device only credit card. This is the same java-card + payment network personalization that physical chip-and-pin cards, Google Wallet and most other NFC payments use. So my guess is that the Payment Networks were not comfortable using the Secure Enclave Processor and preferred to reuse the same technology used by chip-and-pin, with a separate Secure Element chip.

What do you want to use the VPN for?

• If a VPN is free, your data is somehow being mined (how else would the service be provided, out of the kindness of the provider's heart?), so privacy goes out the window.
• If you're looking at data compression Onvao is okay (but to be honest, it's the only one I've tried for that).
• Location spoofing - Freedome is not free, but you could get a year-long free account a while back, and that was pretty darn good (I'm still using mine).

Did some tests. It's the Region that changes the setting. If you care that much, switch to United States (or any other silly place that uses miles), quit and restart the health app and it'll be updated.

Strange that it's not a separate setting. There's always apple.com/feedback if you're interested.

They eventually will. On the official Apple iOS 8 page, you can see a Twitter interactive notification displayed. They also had a Facebook example before.

You can send an email to Tim Cook if you really want (ask Google if you want his address), but I can't guarantee how fruitful it would be. The feedback page is the official way to complain.

Not a downside,but that would not change your Bank balance.Looks of the card doesn't even matter to some. You can always suggest them ideas through this link https://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html

Check your signal strength by doing the following:

1) Open Phone app

2) Tap the the Dialpad

3) enter the following and hit send: *3001#12345#* (reference)

4) Navigate to "Service Cell Measurements", tap

5) Scroll all the way to the bottom of the table view and reply with your "Measured RSRP"

I'm thinking it will. At the bottom of this page:

> Continuity features are available on iPhone 5 or later, iPad (4th generation), iPad Air, iPad mini, iPad mini with Retina display, and iPod touch (5th generation).

I can confirm that iTunes 12 will work after updating Xcode 6.1 beta. Go to https://developer.apple.com/xcode/downloads/ and download the 6.1 beta for Yosemite, then copy it locally to your hard drive. Once it's copied, open Xcode-beta. It will prompt you that it needs to update files -- this is the important step, I think -- do this. It will require you quit iTunes to update. Once it's finished, install per normal.

Reinstall the OS over the top of the current install.

My iPad did the same thing on an over the air update. I also didn't have a backup. I downloaded the ipsw file from Apple to my PC then connected my iPad. I think you hold down the shift key and hit restore to pick the file and overlay the OS onto the device. After that it worked fine. This article kinda explains it, but make sure you have the right IPSW file from Apple for your device.

Edit: you can get the IPSW from this site in addition to the one in the article: https://ipsw.me

Good luck!

Background app refresh on some apps is main culprit usually, looking at you Facebook and Facebook messenger.

And if you use iCloud it helps to turn off some functions, like iCloud Drive entirely or some app that could cause drain (Safari), and switching off keychains.

Anyway won't help much iPhone 5 battery is bad. Had to change mine few weeks ago on just year old phone. Tried anything to reduce usage, won't help that much honestly.

Also check if your phone is eligible for free battery replacement due to factory defect.

https://www.apple.com/support/iphone5-battery/

Mine was but sadly I already replaced broken screen at third party service, so they refused to change battery (in my country official Apple service is crap, won't do anything post warranty, and doing warranty service just to keep authorized reseller status).

This is baffling. As you've done a full restore from scratch, I'd say the only option left is to download iOS and reinstall it. You won't be able to do this from within iTunes as it will simply tell you that you're already up to date.

You will need to download 8.4 manually. This page has direct links to the official files.

Once downloaded, in iTunes Alt-click on 'Check for update', browse to the download and reinstall.

If you are still experiencing the same thing after that then I don't know what to say. You've been very clear with what you do and don't do but I'm still slightly suspicious that it might be down to a muddled expectation or action that you've bought with you from Android because I just don't see how it's possible for one small element of the OS to work differently for you, particularly once you install a completely new version of iOS.

Good luck. Let us know how you get on.

Yes. I realized my mistake. Thanks. I corrected myself in the original thread. OP should choose the update option with the key-modifier to select the downloaded ipsw and install it. That will update the OS without restoring the device. Please see this article:

This year Bengali,Marathi and Urdu keyboards were added by Apple other than Hindi,Tamil and English.Apple has given the Indian users even more localization options.I won't be surprised if Apple adds a Punjabi keyboard option in the iOS 9 update.You can write to Apple at https://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html and ask them to add Punjabi in their list of English keyboards

bugs will be fixed by Apple if you give them a feedback https://www.apple.com/feedback/ipad.html write the same thing on the link above and send them to Apple. when you have any kind of problems,you should always let Apple know about it instead of complaining at reddit

Yes probably. Depends usually you can restore to a point before your downloaded an app I am not sure how often you backup. How about you try the program iFunbox, and try and delete the app through that program first I really hope this method works. If it does not work can you save your mine craft worlds independently? As in a cloud? And is your phone jailbroken?

I had the exact same issue yesterday in the UK, did a hard reboot (hold home and power) and it's fixed it. For future reference check here to see if it's just you.

I have been having this problem too for the past week. Apple Music, Mac App Store, and iOS App Store downloads have all been excruciatingly slow over home wifi, even as everything else works normally, and Speedtest shows very fast wifi speeds on all devices.

Apple wanted me to restore all my devices, but I knew it had to be router or server related somehow, given how the problem was showing up.

Here's what worked for me: I changed the DNS settings on my home router from their default values to to OpenDNS. After I did that, all downloads went right back to normal.

The OpenDNS IP addresses are: 208.67.222.222 208.67.220.220

Hope this works for others too...

If you want to download photos from iCloud or even upload photos from your iPhone to iCloud Photo Library, you should make sure the Internet connection is well. This is a guarantee for your successfully download or upload photos of iCloud.

http://www.fonepaw.com/tutorials/download-icloud-photos.html

You can have a try of FonePaw iPhone Data Recovery, when you need to recover photos from iPhone and you have iCloud backup files available.

http://download.cnet.com/FonePaw-iPhone-Data-Recovery/3000-18551_4-76201237.html

FonePaw offer you a solution to fix iPhone stuck on Apple logo. http://www.fonepaw.com/tutorials/iphone-stuck-on-apple-logo.html If you lost data during boot, FonePaw iPhone Data Recovery would be a pleasure if you want to retrieve those lost data from the iPhone itself.

iBackupBot will let you grab an item from your backup.

http://www.icopybot.com/itunes-backup-manager.htm

iExplorer will allow you to place that item onto your iOS device.

http://www.macroplant.com/iexplorer/

I've done "selective restores" like this to grab just a specific app's data to copy to a new device.

I'm assuming you're on Yosemite OSX 10.1 - The alternative to downgrading iTunes is to sign up to the Apple Dev Centre and download Xcode 6.1 Beta for Yosemite - Make sure you run it after installation and let it update your files (the important part)

Very misleading, It's not even a new concept just something that was crowd funded for almost no reason. You can buy an adapter for a current cable that works exactly the same way for 1/3rd of the price and works with any almost any type of phone that charges with a USB.

This is nothing new. There are USB switches that disable the data pins when charging and plans online to build you own. The last I saw this linked on here some one posted an amazon link to $4 alternative.

Here's just the first one I saw on a quick google search.
