Me too on my Ipad. As far as my phone goes, believe it or not, perhaps I'm the only one left on the face of the earth but I still have a flip phone! Lost my old one back in the fall so most people would upgrade. Not me. Didn't know if flip phones were even still available but YEP! So got another one.

Good, glad to hear that. I've heard from a few people I know who say they've had lots of problems with it.

These are people who know all of the ins and outs of computers. My daughter is on her computer all day. It's her business. She's made me promise not to mess with it.

She comes in contact with other people across the US and some in other countries who are very upset about it and are having various problems.

Before you ask, I have no idea what the problems are. I don't know much about computers. I will listen to her though.

I updated my phone as soon as I got the notice. I had seen on the news that this was a very important update and to do it immediately. I've had no problems with it and haven't heard anyone else say they have either. Usually we hear about problems on this board.

This upgrade addresses the Meltdown and Spectre security flaw, affecting both PCs and mobile devices.

There is an earlier thread here about Meltdown and Spectre.

Did a cursory search, and apparently this iOS update only mitigates the problem so more security updates will be necessary.

The main problem I read about is performance slow down.

I updated my iPhone and both MacBook Pros a week or so ago without any problems. One MacBook runs Sierra and the other High Sierra. So far, so good in all cases. (Fingers crossed!)

I updated both Ipad and iPhone with no problems. Actually, the iPhone works better now. The previous update caused me to have to reboot every time I turned the phone off for a few days because when I turned it back on the screen was frozen. Now it doesn’t seem to do that anymore.

@shaggygirl

I would still have a flip phone too, if our phone company still supported the old 2g. Since I had to get rid of the old phone, I thought I’d try a smartphone, just to try and keep up with some of the new technology. I don’t really need one, but I do use the “smart” features more than I thought I would. But that doesn’t mean that when it’s time for a new phone I won’t go back to a flip!😀

Glad I do not own a Apple product anymore. Android rocks no pain of the a--updates. Flip phone? Do they still sell those things? Thought they got rid of those things in the 90s

I read that Meltdown and Spectre affect all devices, including Android.

Installed this last night. Completely ruined my computer. Am totally locked out. All it does is constantly reboot.

my husband is bringing in the computer to apple store tomorrow to see if there is anything they can do, have had nothing but problems with this computer since beginning of Jan.. it is only. 2 yrs old. Am ready to ditch apple and go back to Microsoft. 2 weeks ago my computer locked me out would not accept my password. Had to wait for a week to bring to apple store to fix that problem.

@viva923, you might have a defective device. My iPad 3 was always troublesome, not as bad as your problems, but it was glitchy.

What does Apple say when they do a diagnostic?

11.2.5 installed today with no problem.

Re: iOS 11.2.2 Security Update

Montana — Tue, 30 Jan 2018 20:22:22 GMT

Also installed 11.2.5 update on my iPad and iPhone with no problem.

I always do an iCloud backup before installing updates - just in case something goes wrong.

Installed fine. iPhone still works. No problems (yet?).

Re: iOS 11.2.2 Security Update

Cats3000 — Mon, 05 Feb 2018 19:35:16 GMT

Installed it on your computer? iOS is NOT for computers. As far as I know, iOS is for iPhones and iPads

apple had to totally remove the operating system and install the new operating system. so glad we keep a G drive backing up the computer. it helped us set up the computer again. I mean we had to install everything.

computer is up and running great, but security update was a doozy.

@viva923 I'm glad you got your computer running again. What had you installed that messed it up? It wasn't this iOS 11.2.2 security update that we're discussing, because iOS is only for ipads and iphones.

I downloaded High Sierra on my 2014 MacBook Air, and it was fine. I'm kind of scared to download another update with a computer this old though.
