iOS 8 Safari Problem

I'm having the same issue with IOS 8, the uploading issue isn't just limited to Facebook it's also happening on other community websites when using the Safari browser; I did notice that Google Chrome's browser for iPad will allow me to upload photos on FB, but if I add text, it crashes.

I certainly hope they fix this, because this will be the deciding factor as to whether or not I purchase the iPhone 6 plus; I enjoy having the freedom to upload pics outside of using a websites often restrictive APP.

IVe been uploading pix for years...and today....Walmart & Walgreens said my pix were corrupted.....so I got in the car and went to Walmart...where the woman put the USB cord in my ph and proceeded to try to upload.....NO CAN DO....what tha H is going on...please give me back iOS7

I guess we can accumulate all the issues faced as the impact of iOS 8 upgradation so that Apple treats them with importance and we can get the update from a single point. Please add your problems and highlight it in below discussion if you think this will be useful for us - the iPhone users:

Problems and issues after updating to iOS 8 (iPhone 5S)

Photo uploads from IOS 8's Safari also fail with a " no server found" error when uploading them to ebay listings or ebay messaging. I also not that web sites will no longer play embeded QuickTime streams. Try this site in your Brouwer and you will no longer see the > play symbol. yet both still work fine if you use the Chrome browser app. The site is www.memoryradio.be if you want to test it. Also everything still works fine in the last IOS 7.1.2. Fails IOS 8 on all iDevices. So it seems a Safari problem. Even tried to upload image from this reply page and it will not work on IOS 8 Safari either.

Another problem:

now ow when I google anything and want to Share it in an email...usually I click the 3 vertical dots in the upper right hand corner...and click share with an email...i put in the first few letters of the persons name...and then when I'm ready to hit SEND....THE WHOLE THING HAS DISAPPEARED

Its the same for me and many othes that I talk to. Using safari and after upgrading to IOS8 on both iphone 5s and Ipad mini I am unable to upload photos to any website including ebay, facebook and other community websites.

The upload seems to start but never finishes. On two websites I got a 500 internal service error

I asked one website to check their server log for my upload request and they said the server had an error message:

[Thu Sep 18 07:12:10 2014] [error] [client 96.60.204.197] (70007)The timeout specified has expired: Error reading request entity data, referer: http://www.websitename.com/cgi-bin/board-post.cgi?action=posting_upload_form

I sort of suspect it is an issue between the browser sending the specific info needed to the server

Download the Chrome browser App. I have had some success with it for loading ebay pictures etc. maybe it will help till Apple fixes Safari. See my other posts.

How do using chrome fix the problem in Safari?

No one said the Chrome App would fix Safari. It can be used as a "work around" for some of the problems that Safari has in IOS 8 at lease until Apple Fixes Safari. I'm using it for the picture upload issue in eBay for example.

I am also having an issue uploading to any site from iOS 8 from my iPad. I have tried ebay, facebook, Craigslist, and a couple discussion groups to which I contribute often. In all cases it is acting like it is uploading but never gets past that stage.

Another issue is the auto text function has quite a few issues, changing words in a less logical fashion than the ios7 did, capitalizing incorrect words, and for some odd reason will not auto cap the personal pronoun 'I' much of the time.

Apple, please fix these issues ASAP!

How disappointing is this? I can't upload photos using Safari since upgrading to iOS 8. I've tried several different web sites and the upload starts then hangs. After reading this thread I even tried downloading Google Chrome but it crashes as soon as I try to upload any pictures. It seems like a pretty fundamental thing not to get right... Would be nice to hear from the iOS 8 testing team.

I finally gave up and rolled back to 7.1.2. Just to much odd stuff like broken Apps not to mention the Safari and Camera issues. I ma posting what I did here like I did on the other forum page. The only caveat is on when using iTunes on a Windows PC you must rename the download file with the .ipsw extension as it will down load as a .zip. You do not unzip it just rename it. Follow the rest of the directions an you will be fine. I am told this may not be available much longer so if you want to revert do it soon:

after updating to ios 8 on my ipad mini, i also experienced issues with Safari. Someone on another thread had mentioned that they downloaded the Puffin Browser from the App store. I decided to give it a try and I'm really happy with it. Right away there was a signifigant difference in speed and appears to work quite well. Atleast until there is an ios 8 update, i will continue to use Puffin. Hope this is helpful!

I got an email from Apple support saying the pulled my response in the forum & that I should test on my own machine before posting??? I did it on my own device and rolling back to 7.1.2 was the solution for me. I had some success with the Chrome browser as well but there were to many other issues. Maybe IOS 8 should have been tested properly before release instead of the way it is? Safari issues, broken Apps, etc. I finally gave up and rolled it back after I fought the update on my own iPad and iPhone. Thanks for the response thought Apple Support, at least I know you are looking at the forums.

Follow directions carefully to return to IOS 7.1.2, IT WORKED FOR ME!!!!!!!!!
