I've bought a 16mb iStick from Gsmobi, and it does not work with the new ios 9. Anybody with this problem?

I Also have purchased a 32Gb istick from Amazon Gmobi which says it is good to work with iPhone and iPad. It did work when I had IOS8 but since upgrade to IOS9 it is not recognised by either. I have contacted Amazon but no reply and also the retailer AT Memory. AT Memory said that lots of apps don't work in IOS9 and to wait till the app is updated ! not satisfactory. These sticks are meant to work with the Apple products. Have tried to contact Apple but with no success. There must be something in IOS9 stopping this from working ! Come on Apple solve this issue ! or is it down to gmobi to send an update to the firmware ?

This has NOTHING to do with Apple. It's not their product. Contact gobi. It's THEIR device.

Sorry I disagree as the device was working properly prior to the Upgrade from IOS8 to IOS9 therefore Apple have altered something. I would appreciate Apples outlook on this if they ever decide to answer me. IOS9 is full of bugs and lots of things are not working as they did before so I think Apple have a lot to answer for. Just my opinions !

Whether you agree or not is irrelevant. It's not an Apple device, and it won't be supported by Apple. If you want it to work, you'll need to contact the manufacturer. Or, you can sit here for a month, like the OP, waiting for an answer that will not come. Your choice.

Did that and got an answer back saying that Apple won't tell them what they have altered so will have to wait and see if they can find a solution. So either way I'm going to have to wait weeks and weeks to get the device to work when this device has been approved by Apple.

THis worked great on IOS 8 so if any of you have IOS 8 and one of these devices don't upgrade to IOS 9 ! Be warned !

What an insensitive and illogical reply! It has EVERYTHING to do with Apple. If it were not for the apps, the iPhone or iPad would be indistinguishable from any other phone or tablet and it is functionality which has sold and sustained Apple in the past. It is your sort of attitude which fuels Apple's ever growing complacency and indifference to customer concerns.

Apple should not foist flawed upgrades onto trusting and loyal Apple users ...

Hello All,

I finally found a solution to this issue. Here are the steps to fix:

1) Back up all your data on the iStick

2) Download the firmware upgradation tool from here : https://hypershop.zendesk.com/entries/105799903-iStick-Firmware-update

3) Follow the instruction at the link mentioned in Step-2. ( You will need a windows based PC for this, sadly!)

4) Download the new iStick Pro app from Apple App store.

5) And if you've followed all the instructions correctly, you're done!

Note: I tried to run this from a virtual machine of Windows on my mac and it didn't work.

Luckily, I have a windows machine still in some corner of my house. 😉

Hope it helps 🙂.

Regards,

Harsha

Thanks Harsha - been struggling with this iStick problem for months. Your solution worked perfectly - like you I have an old Windows laptop kicking around for just this type of thing ! Followed your instructions and the iStick is now working again both with my iPad and iPhone. 🙂🙂🙂

Hi, your solution sounded perfect, thank you. Unfortunately when I try to run it I get no further than the Standby message and it will not run the app. Any ideas?

Thanks

HHave had various conversations now with the company that supplied the I stick thro Amazon and still no joy on a firmware update. These sticks from AT memory came from manufacturers in Taiwan and have different serial numbers from others so although there are updates for others the ones with serial number 20140404002 !

MY ipad don't work with istick

Thanks! This worked fine. I can finally use my iStick, again!

Hi My model is also 16GB Model: GH07B SN: 20140404002

Can you help somehow? dou you have an update?
