iOS 5.0.1 problems- list here

Speaking of wifi issues with 5.0.1, my 3rd gen iPod 32GB will no longer connect to my folks' secure wifi using the (verified correct due to other devices connecting fine) 20-character-long WPA key. It connects fine to my network here that only has a 16-character WPA key. My friend with an iPad 2 has the same problem.

My iPod was connecting fine before to my folks' network, but I had to do a "restore" the other day due to iTunes' intransigence on marrying my iPod to a new install (kept insisting I didn't have enough room on the device to do an "Erase and sync" which was patently false, but machines are not dissuadable, alas).

C'mon, Apple, fix this already. I know you want us to buy a new iPod every 3 months, but that's not happening (doubly so if your software has bugs galore in it).

Hey just i case you have not found it, i got it, here is my fix

i can't seem to download ios 5.0.1. When i get all the files downloaded, it goes to proccessing files and i get a network problem and i dont have any network problems i have 5 bars and all. Is there a place i can go to to get and older version?

U are downloading the OTA? older as in 5.0?

if you have not downloaded iOS 5.0 from version 4.xxx, I highly suggest you don't. research it first in the forums and see all the post on the difficulties folks are having with there iPod touch's. iOS 5.0.1 is a major resource hog on the limited ram built into the touch. this iOS should have never been released for the touch. it runs ok on the iPhone but still slows it down. bad software, just bad!

As mike32869 said, I am also having issues with smart playlists. Took my ipod in, they replaced it, and even a BRAND NEW IPOD is still not functioning correctly on iOS 5.0.1. Smart playlists won't load, and large playlists cause the entire music app to crash.

Can't share Mac iTunes library. The library doesn't load and the touch often freezes during the attempt.

Overall the touch is fairly slow and sometimes gets stuck on some screens.

Infuriating update. After updating my Touch to 5.0.1, I had dozens of functions activated by default that I don't want and spent 20 minutes turning off. After update, screen locked for >1' each time I tried to access a music playlist.Did a full restore, turned off every function I could think of, still didn't work properly. Finally going through every function in Settings I found the Music spotlight search function and turned it off, and this seems to have fixed the problem (probably it was spending minutes doing indexing every time I tried to access a playlist).

I stopped doing microsoft office updates years ago because they only created problems, looks like this is becoming true of apple as well

I have had many issues with ios 5.0.1 the main thing is its dreadfully slow on the ipod touch 4g (probably because of its limited ram) mostly things like the keyboard lags and freezes the safari crashes (ALOT!) you cant zoom on mobile sites anymore and battery life *****! Buy other than that inlove it.

What? I can't say S u C k ?

Since I updated the software on my iPhone 3GS it's been going a lot slower. When I press the lock button, the screen will go black but the Click wont happen for close to 5 seconds later. My apps and games have been going slower also. If I'm in a call, after a couple of minutes, the phone will shut down and the apple logo comes up on the front for a minute until I'm able to enter in my passcode again.

Didn't have any trouble with the phone before the update, why now?

Problems with iOS 5.0.1:

Battery life slashed in half after upgrading from iOS 5.0. Keyboard lags on Safari. Safari crashes 2-3 times a week. I wish I could downgrade to 5.0.

Massive proble with the new Safari Mobile update:

I'm using iFrames with my website (iweb created and hosted on iDisk/Mobileme) now any iFrames with links to a something on a different domain to the HTML page containing the <iframe> code will not work.

ie NOW MY ALL OF MY SIMPLEVIEWER GALLERIES all contained within iFrames, the main backbone of my website are not at all visable on iPhones with OS5.0.1

Great example of it's effect... I posted a blog at 12:00 noon Sunday 15th January 2012 now at 15:02 Ive had:

59 hits from Firefox
30 hits from iPhone
6 hits from Android
18 hits from Safari
12 hits from Chrome
1 hit from Opera
1 hit from web crawler

So now 20% of the people looking at the blog http://www.tamsinmae.com/TM/Blog/Entrie … _Plex.html won't be able to see the main images it! Arrrrgggghhhhhhhhh! Not good a good look for my website at all.

Sort this out please... it worked before!!!

Cheers

I guess apple is never going to ******* listen to us. Most of the time, we are the people who report the issues to be fixed, however, our responses in regard to its problems just go through their ears and goes out at the other end.

crash, crash, crash. after 5.0.1 update on ipod touch 4th. restored it, both with my entire library and then again to factory oem, still crashes. if i power it down, then power up, it will run ok until i run a few apps, then it slows way down and starts crashing every few mins. even after closing apps as i use them. this tells me that the 5.0.1 ios is to much for the ram in the ipods. please let us roll back to the 4.xxx ios!!!
