Apple releases iOS 9.0.1 to fix Slide to Upgrade and other bugs

Apple has finally pushed out an iOS update, iOS 9.0.1, to address issues with the Setup Assistant app getting stuck on “Slide to Upgrade.” A new update, iOS 9.02, fixes that issue plus more.

If your iOS 9 device is stuck on Slide to Upgrade, after you update to iOS 9 or restore from a backup, here is what to do:

 If you already updated to iOS 9 and stuck at Slide to Upgrade 
Short Form
  1. You’ll need to update to iOS 9.0.1  iOS 9.0.2 :
  2. Connect your iOS device to a computer. Then make sure that iTunes is open. (n.b. Ensure you have the latest version of iTunes)
  3. While your device is connected, press and hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons until you see the Connect to iTunes screen.
  4. When asked, choose Update.
  5. Once the update is done, finish the onscreen steps to set up your device.
If that fails time for the long form

 Long form
  1. You’ll need to update to iOS 9.0.1  iOS 9.0.2 :
  2. For best results you will need to do the following
    • Make sure you PC/Max is updated. Install all those Windows and OSX updates
    • Ensure you have the latest version of iTunes
    • Restart the machine!
    • Temporarily disable your Anti-Virus(e.g. McaFee, Trend Security Avast, AGV, Kapresky etc)
  3. Open iTunes and let it load up. Be patient 
  4. Connect your iOS device to a computer.  If you see any messages e.g. sync, backing up etc,  in the iTunes window, let them finish before proceeding 
  5. Then while your device is connected, press and hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons until you see the Connect to iTunes screen.
  6. When asked, choose Update.
  7. Once the update is done, finish the onscreen steps to set up your device.
  8. Re-enable disable your Anti-Virus(e.g. McaFee, Trend Security Avast, AGV, Kapresky etc)
If you already resolved this issue by restoring your device (only use if you have a backup)
If you had this issue before iOS 9.0.1 was available and you’ve already set up your device as new, use these steps to restore from your previous backup:
  1. Update your device to iOS 9.0.1  iOS 9.0.2.
  2. Go to Settings > General > Reset>  Erase all Content and Settings. This will delete any content that's currently on your device.
  3. Then set up your device.
  4. When asked to restore from a backup, select either iCloud or iTunes and follow the steps to restore from your previous backup.
My Device is already updated to iOS 9.0
  1. Update your device as you would normally
The 9.0.1 update also fixes a problem with
  • alarms and timers failing to play, 
  • and setting up a cutom APN could disable cellular connections.  
  • Issues with Safari and 
  • Photos could distort a video if it was paused during playback. 
  • among others
The iOS 9.0.1  iOS 9.0.2 is available from the Software Update section of the Settings app. Apple also released a new beta of iOS 9.1 today.

The Above does not work? If the above does not help, the old solution can be found here, Solution to iOS9 "Slide to Upgrade" issue on iPad/iPhone. It will allow you to upgrade downgrade to 8.4.1 9.0.2 or later and then upgrade to 9.0.1 .

Does 9.0.1 fix for frozen at slide to upgrade work if the phone has not been backed up on iTunes before? Only have an old iCloud backup so am afraid I am going to lose lots of recent data If I upload 9.0.1. Am stuck on slide to upgrade from trying to download 9.0 and attempting to back up now on iTunes or iCloud does not work no matter how often I swtich off phone , plug back in etc etc as previous advice has been. Have also tried all the steps to download 8.4.1 Onto phone unsuccessfully. I'm hoping someone had the same problem on their iPhone 5 without a backup and all data was saved with this fix. Fingers crossed!!!!

Your Vote Counts : You got to make a choice

The last time I wrote I was questioning who to vote for. I now have the answer and it is simple. Vote for a better situation. There is no point saying that you are not voting as that will not stand a chance of making things better. Everyone who wants better must vote and let their voice be heard. Every Vote Counts By not voting, nothing changes if that is what you want then that is good. I must tell you that in the last general election in Jamaica in 2002, a few more votes, less than 40,000, and it could have been the Jamaica Labour Party (JLP) in power and not the Peoples National Party (PNP). Simply put, if a few hundred more persons had voted for the JLP in some constituencies they would have won the last election. In the local government election in 2003 a few more votes, less than 20,000 as matter of fact, the PNP would have controlled the Parish Councils. Twenty thousand might sound like a big number but it is simply 20,000 multiples of one(1) The truth is every vote cou
