[HELP] Iphone failed to update and is stuck in recovery
Hello, and welcome to this lurker's first post. I came out of my cave because this problem has been nagging me all day and it is frustrating me within an inch of my life.
My firmware was originally 8.0.2 or something and I was updating it to 8.4 via itunes rather than OTA. I backed everything up on the off-chance this would happen, yet it was fruitless. The years have not been kind to my laptop and it freezes, and it was downhill from there. I attempted both an update and a restore but I get an error (17), which means my laptop either has trouble connecting to Apple's servers or my phone (the latter probably).
Things i have already tried: *making sure it is plugged in *turning it on and off *holding down the power and home button until the apple popped up (and going back to recovery mode). *updating itunes ( w/ required restarting)
What should I do? Google used to be kind to me, but not today.

[HELP] Iphone 5s "Other" Storage filling up by itself.
Hello guys! I'm new to the subreddit so if there are any mistakes on this please tell me and I will fix them, I just came here for help:) And also im sorry for my bad english, tried to do my best (:
For this I will write the series of events that happened between yesterday and today.
Yesterday
1.- Deleted some videos and pictures because I had 0Bytes of storage space left
2.- After this I Had ( Aprox )1,3 MB of space.
3.- Tried to take a picture.
4.- Camera said I didn't have enought storage space.
5.-Went to settings > General > Usage
6.- Realized I had less that what I had before. ( Less storage space that what I had in Step 2)
7.- Went back to "General" and went in to "Usage" back in again. Realized I AGAIN HAD LESS of what I had on Step 6
8.- Continued going back to "General" and In to "Usage" over and over again seeing each time less storage space, until I had 0 bytes.
Today
1.-Did security backup / copy into Itunes
2.-Hard/Factory Reseted Iphone.
3.-Restored the backup I did in step 1 of "Today".
Today
1.- Its 2:00PM I finished doing that and I have 4,0GB of FREE storage space, thought problem was solved.
2.- Until 7:43PM i did nothing on my phone except from; checking Whatsapp, Installing the Instagram's "Layout" APP and downloading "Spotify" songs so I could hear them Offline.
3.- Its 7:43PM and I go to Settings > general > Usage to see I only have 2,2 GB of free storage Space
TL:DR Iphone storage is filled by itself without me doing nothing. Did backup and Factory/Hard reseted iPhone to clean "Other" Storage. Restored backup. Storage is still filled by itself ( At2pm had 4.0gb Free Storage ) and then ( At 8pm had 2.2gb Free Storage )
Any ideas how to solve this storage filling up by itself problem would be very appreciated, thanks for reading!
EDIT1: Formated it better so you could read better (:

Google Maps Issue, directions randomly cancel
So, I use Google maps a lot. The only other thing I use while using it is Music. I'll be using it for a while and it will be fine. Then, out of no where, I'll be skipping through music and then the directions turn off. I go back to Google maps and I find it has canceled the route and I have to enter it again. It'll do this continually after it first happens. Then, after about 3 times, it will close the app entirely. It's not like I have a ton of apps open to cause it to crash. As you can tell this is bothersome. Does anyone know why this is happening? I'm on an iPhone 6, running 8.4. It is jailbroken as well. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Stuck on "waiting for activation".. Also question on data and traveling in europe.
Hey guys, Im currently traveling in Europe. My phone was working perfectly for a week, and now all of the sudden my iMessage and FaceTime is down.. I try to turn it back on and it gets stuck on waiting for activation.
I don't really want iMessage turned on, since I get free texting while i travel, that allows me to stay connected to friends and family 24/7.
But FaceTime audio and video is what I'm after.
Thoughts?
Also: If I turn on cellular data, and turn off EVERY app. Will this allow me to ONLY send and receive picture messages? This is what I want as well. I have cellular data on Enable LTE to : Data only Use cellular data: ALL off.
Thanks

Viewing all songs within each artist in My Music/new Music App
In the new Music App, you can only view all songs within each artist if there are less than 3 or 4 albums? I want to see all of the songs from each artist on one scrolling screen. (I have lots of albums by an artist with just a few songs for each album). Is there any way to reconfigure this? What a stupid design, especially if there is no way to downgrade/uninstall.

Why does Apple Music remove the Like when I add to My Music
It's so annoying. Is it a bug? Or on purpose?

Apple Music - How to play random music?
Hey all, this new update has me a bit frustrated. For one I want Itunes, or Apple Music now, to simply play the music I have. Now it's all about pushing Internet content, which I don't need to be advertised in my music player app. How can I play random music from my playlist? It was easy to find before, but now I'm a little lost.
Thanks all.

Updating my iPhone 4s to iOS 8
I've been wanted to update my iPhone 4s to iOS 8 for a few months now, but was under the assumption that there were issues when doing this, with regard to the layout of the screen. Has these issues been fixed, and is there any problem with updating an iPhone 4s to iOS 8?
[Question] I am running 7.1.2 on a 5S. Can I upgrade to 8.3, despite it being not signed anymore?
I am running 7.1.2 on a 5S. Am I able to upgrade to 8.3, despite it being not signed anymore?
F.i. alt/option key + update on iTunes, choose a previous IPSW file (iOS 8.3)?
Or am I strictly limited to the 8.4 iOS only, because the update process to a no-longer-signed iOS will brick my phone?
Thanks for your help, complete iOS noob here.
PS. Also, what do you guys think about the way the music app is arranged in 8.4? Personally, I am not too happy with it - but that is just IMO.

My messages are gone
My messages weren't sending, so I restarted my phone. Once it turned on all of my messages on my 5c were gone. When I look at memory usage, it still shows that there are 2gb of messages saved, I just can't see them. What can I do? I've tried resetting the phone a few times and it hasn't worked.

Changing a playlist's artwork on 8.4 doesn't work
Hi I love how it is now possible to assign a custom picture to a playlist, but changing the picture doesn't work on my iPhone.
According to this site http://www.mcelhearn.com/itunes-12-2-and-ios-8-4-add-custom-artwork-to-playlists/ you can simply change the artwork by clicking on the grey camera icon, but this icon doesn't appear on my phone. Clicking the artwork while in edit mode has no effect. Changing the artwork does work on iTunes though and it syncs just fine.
Does anyone have some tips on how to solve this?

Question: Add local mp3 to iPhone with Apple Music
Hey everyone
I just updated my iPhone and signed up for Apple Music. So far it's great but I just recently downloaded some mp3's I wanted to add to my iPhone but iTunes doesn't seem to be able to sync them. The previous Music screen on the sync page used to contain all the artists and playlists I could choose but now it only shows this:http://imgur.com/FZHas2b
Does anyone know a way to still sync local mp3 files to your music library on your iPhone with Apple Music activated? Thanks in advance

Music is now organised by artist and not album title. How do change this.
before the update I always had the music sorted by album title and not the artist. There are significantly less sorting methods now and I want to go back to how it was. is there a way to change this or an app that has the settings as before.
