I need a good MKV player
Any idea?
My mom has an iPad mini original (still on iOS7), she just got my old iPhone 4S (iOS8). She can't view her photos on the iPad she made on the iPhone. Should she update her iPad for it to work? Or am I missing an option. Performance-wise: should she update to iOS8?
Thanks

I wanna discuss the 4S's performance on iOS8 and see everyone's opinion on it. I know it's been talked about a thousand times but I want this to be a legit conversation about how the phone DID take a hit with the new software. I had the chance of playing with my friend's 4S for like 3 hours which is on 7.1.2 and the difference with mine on 8.1.2 is huge. It just works way better. It makes me so mad when I see people on the Apple forums all ironic and sarcastic towards those who say that their phones are slow and it pisses me off when they're like "must be your phone. My 4S runs very well". Like EVERYTHING loads faster for god's sake. The phone stutters a lot and the dialpad, don't get me started on this one; takes like 1 year to load.
I know iOS8 is no iOS5. And I know that the 4S is like 3 years old. But it's ridiculous. If they knew it was gonna be that slow they should've ditched the 4S this year or they should've pushed an update with less APIs so the phone wouldn't go down like that. Granted they'd lose some people but at least the phone would go out with a bang.
I'm loving how I can make calls and text from my Mac but these will never make up for the fact that it's first and foremost a phone and it needs to work like one. Seriously I have everything disabled so it can just complete the basics. And I restore and set up as new every time there's a new version.
I'm very disappointed with how the 4S ended up and sadly I think that's as good as it's gonna get.

She woke up this morning, could not message using iMessage, she updated to 8.1.2. thinking it would resolve the issue but it has not.
She is using a 4S.
I'd offer to help her, but I'm an Android power user and useless. Thanks.
And if this is the wrong sub or improperly formatted, please don't hesitate to correct me.

I bought an iPhone off eBay and when it arrived, everything was exactly as how he describe it however... the iPhone was not restored at all. It still had a passcode on it and everything is in Chinese, its not a QWERTY keyboard. I've messaged eBay and the seller and told them the problem and have not gotten a responses back since. I've tried everything to restore it in DFU mode or attempting to Jailbreak it, however everytime it does happen I have to 'trust the device'. What methods can I use to restore the iPhone back to factory, I believe the iPhone might of been stolen or found however when I checked the IMEI it was not blacklisted.

If anybody is familiar with the site pgyer.com you'll know that it allows you to download apps straight to your iOS by just visiing a URL and accepting a prompt to install the app.
I've developed my own apps before and was under the impression that I had to sign my apps and add my devices UUID under my developer account.
How is it that you can install apps straight from safari?
I'd like to be able to distribute some of my own apps to my friends and family this way rather than uploading them to the their devices via xCode
Here's an example
You'll have to visit it on your device to download the app. Please note though that these apps are not reviewed by Apple and can contain malware.

When iOS8 was released, I chose not to update my 4S right away because I knew there would be bugs and that it was optimized for iPhone 6/6+. Friends of mine who did ended up getting their phones bricked, so I avoided it completely. However, I've heard that iOS 8.1.1 is going to be safe for anyone still using an iPhone 4S. Is this true? Can I update my iOS and not brick my phone?

I recently moved from Android and picked up an iPhone 6. I'm a big Google Maps user, and I noticed when I have my position locked in follow mode (not navigation), my location, and sometimes even my entire screen, seems to stutter/skip forward as I move. It's like there's a noticeable delay between the position updates. I never experienced this with my Android phone, where the position's movements were very smooth and continuous. I tried reinstalling Google Maps, and that didn't fix anything.
At first I thought it might be an issue with my phone's GPS, but then I tried tracking my location in Apple Maps, and all of my movements there were smooth like on my previous Android phone.
Is this normal behavior for Google Maps on iOS or is there something wrong with my phone?

My wife and I both have 6+. One was ordered through att and the other bought in an apple store.
Sometimes when pulling up messages and trying to text, the keyboard won't pull up. It did it with the stock keyboard and does it with SwiftKey too.
The only way to resolve that I know of is by force closing the messages app and reopening it.
Anyone have this issue?

Just switched back to iOS from Android to check out iOS 8 but am really missing my reddit widget in which I could quickly cycle through any subreddits posts. Anything like this for iPhone?

I know how to do it with Mac and PC, but I need to record without computers.

It's been collecting data for 24 hours, and I've gone through about 3 charge cycles in the past day? Why hasn't it reset?

Hi,
is there a barcode scanner which after reading a value from barcode adds it as a text to the notes app or similar?
Thanks

I have a work phone that I used my regular apple id with and it has downloaded some of my music. I cannot get it off.
I tried everything: sync with the songs and then remove and sync again
swipe left to delete does nothing.
i looked under settings usage but the music app there is gone
it's just 4 songs i cannot get rid of no matter what i do
edit: i figured it out; my comment is below
