Unlocking my iPhone 5s (running 7.1.2)either by Touch ID or passcode the screen will quickly flash black before showing the Home screen.

HEY , please help.
im currently running on ios 7.1.2 and unlocking my iPhone 5s either by Touch ID or passcode the screen will quickly flash black before showing the Home screen. You know its a pure random thing , like a second. Its annoying . Help please , do i need to restore i hard resetted it twice .

You may have fragmented RAM on the phone; that second is the time it takes to move apps around in memory to make room for the Springboard (the internal app that displays the Home screen). To fix this do the following:
While on the Home screen double-press the HOME button.
For each app displayed, swipe up on its screen image to close the app and free its memory
When all apps have been closed this way reset the phone by holding the HOME and SLEEP buttons at the same time until an Apple logo appears
If this doesn't fix it you should restore the phone using iTunes. Please let us know if this solves it, however.

    If you need assistance with finding any of your restores or attempting to restore from any that happened prior to his incident follow this article
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766
    IF you do find a backup that has your contacts; I'd /highly/ recommand turning off your wifi network after the restore is finished because if the issue is with your iCloud your contacts may merge back with her's.
    With iCloud you DO NOT want to share the account; bad things happen Evil evil thigns...
    But in all seriousness; if two devices have the same iCloud; iCloud is told to merge and sync infomation between hte two and can't tell that it doesn't belong to the same person

    Oh my gosh I had the EXACT same problem, and for ages I couldn't figure out how to fix it until today. Here's what I did:
    First I went onto my computer, opened itunes, and un-installed tumblr, vine and kik. These were the apps I was having problems with (it said I had them on my phone but, like you, they didn't show).
    Then I went to the itunes store, searched for each one, and it said I could update them so I did (just FYI: for tumblr a window popped up saying "please click ok to confirm you are 17 years or older", so I did that also)
    When I went back to my phone and tried installing them again (still on my computer), it worked!
    I hope this helps, because it was incredibly frustrating. Good luck!

  • My iPhone 5 every time I close out of an app by pressing the home button a white blob shows up close to the volume buttons, is that normal?

    My iPhone 5 every time I close out of an app by pressing the home button a white blob shows up close to the volume buttons, is that normal?

    Hi Sabrinann21,
    I'm not sure what you mean by the "white blob."  Does it look something like this?  
    If so, that white circle that you see on the right side of the screen is Assistive Touch and can be turned off in the Accessibility settings on the iPhone.

  • HT201263 My ipod touch is stuck on the home screen, gray background, only displays the ipod logo. The sliders do not respond at all, either to unlock or shut down, and multiple languages are displayed on the slider, none of them english. Maybe a virus or

    My ipod touch is stuck on the home screen, will not respond. Displays a gray background with the ipod logo, sliders are unresponsive. Bottom slider displays many different languages, none of them english. Maybe a virus or malware?? Restoring with itunes does not work, neither does holding down the home/sleep buttons to reset.

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • My ipad running on ios 3.2.2 was working fine with the home wifi network. Upgraded to 4.3.2 and suddenly it recognises the network but will not join it. Tried all solutions listed in the troubleshooting and suggested by apple technical support. any help?

    Have ipad 1. Was working fine and was able to connect to the home Wi Fi network. Was running ios3.2.2. Upgrade to so called improved ios 4.3.2 and cheers the pad just doesnt join the home network. Tried all the tricks and trouble shooting listed in the forum and as guided by the technical support. Even restored the pad three times. Still the same problem remains. Have been advised to upgrade to 4.3.3, but am apprehensive- dont know what else will stop working. As such without WiFi my pad is as good as a piece of junk. Apple has some serious issues that require sorting out. If anyone can help me kindly do so.

    Am having the same problem, and it appears NO-ONE on the thread either knows how to fix, or is willing to answer your or my question.
    like you, my problem is absolutely linked to upgrading to 4.3.3.  Everything worked fine for 10 months before that upgrade, and NOW well.........
    Seems we iPad 1 users are no longer worthy!!  Pity, had hoped this would have been an easy fix.
    keeping fingers crossed some whizz will help us out

  • I have an iphone 4 running iOS 4.3.2 how do I upgrade to the current iOS without losing any of my data?

    I guess this all goes back to me wanting to sync my photos from my phone to my computer. In iTunes I don't have the option to sync from my phone to the computer. I just have the ability to sync from Computer to the Phone.
    Thanks in advance

    You were probably thinking of syncing photos from your computer to your iphone http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1386
    Usually when you sync your phone to itunes it creates a backup for you.  But I like to do one manually just to be on the safe side.
    Once you done the backup, then go ahead and update your phone.  After the update is done your phone should be exactly the same.  No data or info should be lost.  - If it is lost you can restore to the backup you just created.
    To do that on your phone you would go to settings - general - reset - erase all contents and settings - wiping your phone clean, then you'll have the option to restore from backup.

  • How to unlock my iphone to use it in my country,this is a gift,from the uk,

    i have a iphone4,but i cannot use it in malaysia,its a gift for my nephew from ireland.can someone help me unlock it legaly.thks

    No one here can help you, nor can/will Apple. Only the carrier the phone is locked to can authorize the phone's official unlocking. So, have your nephew contact the carrier the phone is locked to & request that it be unlocked...that is if the carrier offers unlocking.

  • IPhone 3GS, running ios5 successfully for weeks, cannot send a message without the messaging app immediately crashing. I have restored, updated, turned on and off, still cannot receive or send texts. Please help!

    I originally restored my phone after music and videos iTunes said had synced were not showing up on my phone - sorted that problem, now this.

    This may sound dumb, but if you can't send or receive any texts at all, someone in another thread mentioned shutting down, taking out the SIM card, reinserting, and rebooting.  If that doesn't work try putting the SIM in another phone then putting it back in the iPhone.  If it still doesn't work ask the provider for a new SIM.
    Also, I don't understand why iPhone doesn't allow MMS without data.  MMS was DESIGNED to be sent as a text message and it works on regular "dumb" phones with no data.  This is not new technology yet iPhone is purposely blocking it.  That is ridiculous.  You can see from the following table that this is what Apple wants:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2755
    (As a side note, you can also see from the table they are intentionally blocking the ability to send a text to an email address even though that too is not a new feature, and that too works in other phones.)

  • Why can i not slide to unlock my iphone 5 when it is charging.  I can also not open the camera shortcut????

    I can not do anything while my 5 is charging???? Any ideas out there?????

    No, you don't have to pay, and it is email support, you fill out a form,
    With my expericence, they send you an email asking questions, you answer it. Next day they send you an email with instructions that do not work and are out of date. (please tell me where I can set none for my paymet options). Then they send you more instructions that don't work. I have just tried the third set of instructions and they did not work.

  • I have an iphone and want to print emails received whilst I'm away from the home office. How??

    I select print when I'm trying to forward an email to my printer (ePrint) and the iphone doesn't find the source(my printer)

    Hey TrevorH!
    It sounds like you are trying to use AirPrint from your remote location. AirPrint will only work on a local network. If you want to print an email using ePrint from a remote location, what you would want to do is forward the email. In the To field, enter your printer's ePrint email address and the email should print.
    Hope this helps!

  • How to unlock my iPhone 4 free running ios 7.0.3

    O2 will unlock but only if you are an active customer in UK  with a contract ,PAYG or monthly
