iOS 7.1.1 is live

hi steve im also a developer of other company but i know how and what im saying

only developer can only understand what i says

no software is 100% bug free

just like people they always not contented

After getting the device back up and running by plugging it into my computer with iTunes and then unable to restore from a backup, I took the device to the Genius Bar. They did a test on the device and found it was okay. She suggested that the backup was corrupt, I should delete the corrupt backup, and set it up as a new device. I did that, created a new backup, did a restore from the new backup just to test it, and everything worked fine. I finished downloading everything from iTunes and it's back to normal. It appears I was unlucky and got a double whammy with a bad update and a corrupt backup.

You know, honestly, I hate to say this since I've been an Apple fan for years, but I think I'm done with them. Unless they can get their crap sorted out, my current iPhone may be the last Apple product I ever bother with. Thanks a flipping lot to Jony Ive for the gigantic rainbow-coloured turd that is iOS 7. That's what started all my trouble, and I'd almost be happy if I could just get iOS 6 back again. NO WAY I'll risk updating to 7.1.1 until I know it's safe, and even then I'll have some very severe doubts.... Seriously, Apple, get it together.

While it's true that no software is 100% bug free, it used to be that software was beta tested to remove most of the bugs before it was rolled out. While I know those of us with trhese problems are a relatively small % of all users, the issues are so major (and there have been SOOO many issues in the couple of years) that I sometimes wonder whether Apple does any beta testing...

This happened to my iPhone 5 too. It says that it needs to be restored to factory settings. I use my phone for picture and me and my family just went away to see relatives. I have almost 500 photos. Is there any way that I can save them?

I've been with Apple for a long time for a very long time and I've never had very many problems. But when I do, they're really big. I'm honestly thinking about changing. You need to get it together apple.

Me too, I saved my baby girl's photo from day one, and the apple store did a factory setting for me, it wiped out all the data which all my precious photos for my baby girl from day one to seven months, and apply store said they could not do data recovery , I really disappointed with Apple.

I'm sorry, but you are saying that over the course of seven months you never imported a single photo, nor did a single backup? And these photos were that important to you? A simple backup would have preserved the photos, and an import would have ensured you had them forever.

My over-the-air update of my iPhone 5 also failed. This was a first for me, as previous over-the-air updates completed successfully without a hitch.

This time, I was greeted with the screen display of the lightning connector and iTunes icon. I put two and two together, plugged the phone into my iMac, and revved up iTunes. Thankfully, I had a recent backup. The only data I lost was my badges and listening stats from the Audible audiobooks app, which hung up during the restore process. No big deal, but I ought to investigate the possibility of restoring data from a single app.

So do I!!! 😢

I made the biggest mistake by updating it so fast. My iPhone 5s battery WAS superb but after the update it's horrible horrible now. I dunno wot to do? M so upset,,,,,,,,
