Apple releases iOS 9.0.1 with minor fixes for alarms, video playback, setup assistant, more

Just a week after iOS 9 launched to the public, Apple has already followed up with a quick security and maintenance update, addressing a handful of issues that affected the new mobile operating system.



iOS 9.0.1 is now available to download to the public via Software Update in the iPhone Settings app, or via iTunes. The update contains a number of bug fixes, according to Apple, including:
  • Addressing an issue where some users could not complete setup assistant after updating
  • Fixes an issue where sometimes alarms and timers could fail to play
  • Fixes an issue in Safari and Photos where pausing video could cause the paused frame to appear distorted
  • Fixes an issue where some users with a custom APN setup via a profile would lose cellular data
Apple announced this week that iOS 9 is off to the fastest adoption rate of any software release from the company ever. More than half of devices accessing the App Store, as tracked by Apple, had already upgraded as of this weekend.

The free update includes more advanced iPad multitasking, a News app, search and Siri enhancements, and under-the-hood improvements like better battery life and a smaller download size. It is compatible with iPhone 4s, iPad 2, and fifth-gen iPad touch or later devices.

While iOS 9.0.1 is a relatively minor update, Apple is expected to introduce more significant fixes, and potentially new features, with iOS 9.1. A second beta of that upcoming software update was released to developers on Wednesday.

    Can we transfer purchases from the iPhones / iPads to PC using iTunes? Looks like Apple has killed that feature in iOS 9.

    Well, I don't seem to be getting much of anything on my iPad. I was using the beta. Then the beta for 9.1 came out, and I ran that. Then it went from saying beta to just 9.1. I went to software update, and it says my iPad is up to date. I'll check later.

    My phone, which wasn't ever on the beta, updated just fine.

    Cool!

    Whole process took 15 minutes for me.

    My iPhone 5 had no issues with iOS 9 but I updated anyway...

    If you use a Windows-based PC or laptop at home, you can (could?) download purchased content via iTunes.  e.g., not just purchased music, but if I purchased a TV show episode, I could download that to my PC's hard drive.  (In fact, older iTunes used to do this automatically, which was a PITA - why would I want to download every TV episode I've purchased to my laptop hard drive?)

     

    Sounds like that function might have been disabled now.  Maybe that's because Apple expects everything to be iCloud based now - though it seems like it should still be an option if, e.g., you want to download TV shows or purchased movies to a laptop before a flight.

    Have you looked under the Purchased link on the iTunes store tab?  I had the same issue and called Apple and they advised me to look there to download items I had bought on my iPad or iPhone.  The automatic download functionality is selectable in the preferences.

    It's disabled because with iOS 9 you get slimmed versions of apps, so reverse syncing to your Mac or PC wouldn't be ideal because it'd only be the version of the apps for that specific device. Your backup would not work when restoring to a different iOS device.

    Ditto. I had the same issue and an e-mail from Apple cleared it up for me too.

    Now if we can only do the updates via Cellular as well instead of doing the Personal Hotspot 2-Step with my iPhone then again with the iPad, to get them both updated while away from home.

    There is still a bug where I try and send a tex to a number starting with a 4 or higher crashes the tex message so I have to double click and delete the screen.

    So far, it's booted on me during 'video playback' and switching between apps hasn't been stellar. 9.0.2 is on the way, I'm sure.

    The reason your phone updated fine is because it wasn't on the beta. If your iPad is running the beta of 9.1 you won't be able to roll it back to 9.01

    Ah, content. When he said purchases, I didn't know what he meant. I thought he was talking about apps, and that didn't make sense.

    Just tested and it works fine on my watch.
