Try to backup and restore you device in itunes...restoring the device is like removing the iOS software off the device and re-add in a newer software, after you have restore you device, MAKE SURE YOU SET UP YOUR DEVICE LIKE A NEW DEVICE, DONT NOT RESTORE FROM BACKUP!!... give the device a chance to use the newer software and see if the issue still persisting, if the issue still on going then its would be a hardware issue.
Call Apple Care and see if your device is still under warranty to get it replace

    Re: check that the appointments in my phone are going into iCloud calendars....exactly how do I do this?  I fear this is a really stupid question!
    My iCloud account is set up with my Apple ID as one email account (for example [email protected]) which is the email account I use to sign up for internet sites like Amazon, Apple,etc, so that I can differentiate vendors/mass emails.  But my default calendar on my iPhone is in a different email name (ie [email protected]) which I use for most communications to friends, relatives, etc. and it is this account that holds most of my appointments.  To further complicate things I have other email accounts that I use for business/professional and community work.  If I want all my calendars to show on my iPhone AND sync to my iCloud, do I set this at the phone level or the iCloud level?  or both?   
    Let me clarify....It looks like if I go into appointments that I previously set up through my personal account (ie above [email protected]) and edit the entry on my iPhone, selecting the iCloud "home" calendar within the entry, it will then sync to my iCloud account, no problem....do I have to do this to EVERY entry I have? or is there  a way to name my personal account as one to sync to iCloud?

    Error 1604: This error is often related to USB timing. Try changing USB ports, uninstalling and reinstalling USB ports, and other available USB troubleshooting steps (troubleshooting USB connections, device not recognized properly, computer won't recognize a FireWire or USB device). If you are using a dock, bypass it and connect directly to the white Apple USB dock connector cable. If the issue persists on a known-good computer, the device may need service.
    If the issue is not resolved by USB isolation troubleshooting, and another computer is not available, try these steps to resolve the issue:
    Connect the device to iTunes, confirm that the device is in Recovery Mode. If it's not in Recovery Mode, put it into Recovery Mode.
    Restore and wait for error 1604.
    When prompted, click OK.
    Close and reopen iTunes while iPhone remains connected.
    iPhone should now be recognized in Recovery Mode again.
    Try to restore again.
    If the steps above do not resolve the issue, try restoring using a known-good USB cable, computer, and network connection.

  • While actively using the iPhone 5, Apple logo will randomly appear for a few seconds, then show up at the lock screen

    This is the weirdest thing I've ever seen an iPhone do.  I recently got the iPhone 5 from Verizon, 16GB (if that even matters) running iOS 6.0 respectively.  This has happened 3-5 times since I started using it last Friday when they started to deliver.  When this incident occurs, I'll be using my phone, as in it's unlocked and it's not just sitting.  Then, the Apple logo will appear and if I didn't know any better, I'd think my phone was turning on.  However, it only stays that way for a few seconds until it shows the lock screen, imitaing a startup.  The weird thing is, the startup time is ~30 seconds everytime I turn my device off and turn it back on.  This incident where it'll appear to be just turning on while I'm using the phone will only last for ~5 seconds.  Plus, during the incident, it nevers actually turns off the display or goes completely black.  It'll just snap directly from me using the phone to the Apple logo, then the lock screen after a few seconds.  Also, cellular services are immediately recognized after the incident, when starting up it usually take about 30 seconds.  I can't confirm this or not, but I believe this incident occurs when I press the home button to exit an app.  However, when it happens it strikes me by surprise and I can't confirm or not if this happens only when I'm exiting an app.  Not sure if this is an iPhone 5 specific problem or an iOS 6 problem...I can't really assume it's a bad power connection, since like I said it doesn't imitate a full startup of the phone, it just goes throught the screens (Apple logo -> lock screen.)
    And as a side note, I restart my phone daily.  And as rare of a problem this is, I'm not going to restore or wipe my phone and start fresh.  Just wanted to see if there was anybody else experiencing this problem and to make the problem aware. Thanks in advance for any help!!

    I had this same thing happen to me.  I was using my brand new iphone 5 (texting and listening to music through the speakers) when it flashed the apple logo, stopped my music and brought me to the lock screen. 

  • I have imported a Zip file, mp3 music to desktop. How do I move it into iTunes?? I have tried drag/drop, import to library, both without success. Can anyone help, please.

    I have imported a Zip files, mp3 music to my Desktop. How do I move it into iTunes. I have tried d/drop and also Import to Library without success. Can anyone help, please?

    Many thanks to Limnos and King Penguin.
    I have discovered! I needed software to Unzip and was directed to Stuffit from the App Store. Suddenly it is simple.
    Download Zip File to Desktop.
    rt>  Zip        >Open with.....     >Stuffit     Progress Bar: 'Expanding' follows. Then a blue folder (manilla) returns to Desktop.
    Open iTunes     >File     >Import to Library      From drop down select  the now expanded contents of Zip file, then     >OPEN    
    iTunes takes over and imports -  Job's Done!! 
    Thanks again

    Hello. I dropped my ipad, first gen, from my chair to the floor. The screen went black and I can't start it again. I have tried to hold both buttons down at the same time, but nothing happens. Any help?

    You will probably have to contact Apple for repair but before you do try this:
    Turn your iPad upside down on your lap and give it a hard smack on the back.

    The problem is your friend's music does not belong to you.  It is owned by your friend.
    I'm afraid you cannot do what you are trying to do.  Restoring the iPhone is what you would have to do.
    In the future, put your music on the computer and transfer it to the iPhone, not the other way.

  • Can anyone help me- I recently had an archive operating reinstall completed at the genius bar (so they didn't have to delete my hard drive), but now my battery says "not charging." It used to hold a 2.5 hour charge, and now nothing.  Can anyone help?

    Hi, Michelle. Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    Have you tried resetting the SMC? The SMC (System Management Controller) has control over the charging function, so resetting it may help.
