A series of bugs after update to iOS 8.2

I have not updated and was also having the problem. So it had nothing to do with the Update, it was their servers being down. iTunes Store, App Store, Mac App Store, and iCloud were all affected yesterday. You can always check on apple.com/support/systemstatus to check if their servers are having issues.

Don't worry. i have the same problem. It's obviously the update.

No, it's not. As mimregi stated, they did not update, and had the same issues. It was an Apple server side issue, not an iOS issue.

Thanks to Crispy Coconut for posting the image.

When in doubt check here [http://www.apple.com/support/systemstatus/] before jumping to an assumption.

FWIW, I am having the same problem with my Apple ID and had NOT taken the 8.2 update. I suspect it is related on some level, but here was my situation, for reference:

1. Got a pop-up on my MacBook (latest mavericks) asking for my iMessage password, and it would not accept my regular appleID password
2. Went to manage my appleID and see if I needed a new app-specific password (I DO have 2-step verification on)
3. Logged-in, asked for me to verify through 2-step
4. Got the confirmation code just fine on my phone
5. Entered the code and bounced back to appleID homepage with the message "an unknown error occurred"

I'm having problems with iMessage since the update.. Tried everything, even resetting network settings and logging back in.
Keep getting that pop up, 'carrier may.. bla bla'
I can only use iMessage on my MacBook Pro..

Hope they'll come with a solution asap!

I am also having problems with reply to text messages from the lock notification screen. I get a reply button when I swipe, but now I don't get a popup keyboard so I am able to reply.

I also cannot use the App Store - I am able to view it, but cannot do any updates, purchases or downloads.

iPhone 6, iOS 8.2 (updated last night 3-10-15)

Also i had a phone contact with the birthday already set. When i tried to edit it, i found there were born at XX/XX/XXXX and Birthday options (two options for the same purpose??!?). When i tried to set the date, the month and day selection appeared on a different language (Korean).

ios 8.2 is not useful if im to be realistic in this subject, indeed, its ios programs do not work properly and partly and partly it sometimes even turns itself off for the some programs. Therefore, here is the big problem as you see such as closed programs, charge reduction, or closed wireless problem. Dear authorities, please fix these problems and save us from using redundant bugs or issues. Thanks in advice.

Not everyone's, just ones you see posting here. People only post here to complain, they do not post to tell you how wonderful things work. I'm guessing that you have not done any troubleshooting on your device.

In addition to the other problems, both me and my wife's iPads ring when I get a phone call. Yes, three devices ringing at once with a sleeping baby, not pleasant. The option to select which email you were going to receive is now gone too.

That's because they are all signed into the same iCloud Account, that was actually a new feature when the iOS 8 first came out. What you would have to do is go into Settings > FaceTime > Turn off iPhone cellular calls.

hi please I have a question and id be so glad if its answered , i have an iPhone 5s locked to some UK carrier so I wanna ask if I should perform the iOS 8.2 update on my device that I am currently using as an iPod , would it require for me to start activation menu with the sim its locked to again ? or activation menu only appears when you reset or restore your device ???! many thanks .

Yes, it would. Updating firmware requires activation again, since it verifies the firmware with the Apple servers. Your question is somewhat different than Activation Lock, which has to do with the iCloud ID and password of the original owner, your question is about carrier lock, and using the SIM of the locked carrier to activate.
