Some iOS 5 devices using iCloud experiencing random Apple ID bug
Share:
After about six or seven requests, the IDs continue to generate at the rate of one every twenty minutes and are persistent even if no applications are running. This really leaves the door open for someone to attempt to exploit the issue and obtain access to many Apple IDs.
Electronista is reporting that the issue has occurred both prior to and after iOS 5.0.1. Currently, the only way affected users have been able to avoid the issue, is to not use iCloud to restore the device, which really is more of a workaround than a solution.
Electronista has posted a video demonstrating the bug in action. Have any of you experienced this when restoring your device from iCloud?

Siri, why does the iPhone 4S have an Apple ID bug?

The only thing the iFans can do at this point is to thumbsdown the posters. Trying to defend the presence of a bug/hack in iOS/iCloud is a losing proposition.
So, they click the thumbsdown button.

i4s.. one fail after another. you would think that since they are rereleasing the same phones, it wouldnt have so many bugs in it.

Of course the frightening thing is the main people actually hacking an taking advantage to exploit this icloud awful fault is probably apple themselves no doubt further collecting 'information and locations' of its users

One issue after another, the sheep wont like this.

this is just a bug for now... it will be fixed on the next update...
its just like when android has a bug and it can be fixed on the updates later on..

So much for the vaunted 'security' of iOS....

Hmm. is it just a coincidence that as soon as ios starts to resemble Android it becomes buggy. lol

I think Apple just got too complacent at the top and their people just phoned in the most recent software work. I suppose it's also possible that if they phoned it in that spotty connections and battery issues could have caused some errors...

ok, so we are averaging nearly a bug a week with iOS5 and the i4s. Anyone wanna guess at what next week's bugs are?

im gonna say... notification system errors are next.
19. tacohunter posted on 25 Nov 2011, 17:16 0 0
no the next bug will be safari won't open.
I had this bug, just rebooted ipad fixed. But I guess next week we'll hear about this rather then the notification.
Also remix, ios does have notificiation a long time but never in the form it is now. Before it was just a little message text and that's it, basically.

Nobody say iOS didn't have notification before, but they do copy the notification form of android.

I've seen many iphone 4s come back in with faulty claims in my store, Some lower profile faults are faulty mics,caller id not turning on faults and even some with no calenders for some weird reason,as usual thew the only explanation you can give the customer is 'Hey its an iphone!'
