After installing iOS update 6.1.4, messages has become all but unusable.

The app, upon opening it after waking the phone, immediately freezes and crashes. It takes roughly ten to twenty seconds of being locked up before crash.
Has this happened to anyone else and is there a troubleshoot?

Hello thedukewindsor,
I was looking into the issue you are describing and think I have a resource that may help resolve it. Its from our iPhone Troubleshooting Assistant found here http://www.apple.com/support/iphone/assistant/phone
Steps 1, 3, and 5 will be the ones to focus on to help resolve the issue:
Restart iPhone
To restart iPhone, first turn iPhone off by pressing and holding the Sleep/Wake button until a red slider appears. Slide your finger across the slider and iPhone will turn off after a few moments.
Next, turn iPhone on by pressing and holding the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
Is iPhone not responding? To reset iPhone, press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least 10 seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
If your device does not turn on or displays a red battery icon, try recharging next.
Close App
If only a single app has stopped responding or closes on launch, try the following:
Return to the Home screen, and then click the Home button twice.
Tap and hold on the app.
When it starts to jiggle, tap the - to close it.
Double-click the Home button and try opening the app again.
Restore iPhone
To restore your iPhone, first make sure you are using the latest version of iTunes.
Next, connect iPhone. In the left column under Devices, click on your iPhone, then click on Restore in the Summary tab.
For more information about backing up, updating, and restoring your iPhone software, see this article
Note: This will delete all media and data. All settings will be reset as well. If possible, sync iPhone with iTunes before restoring to back up your most recent data and settings.
Cheers,
Sterling

    Hi there, harleygirl.
    A look around the internet and my previous knowledge indicates this is not an issue with firefox, but with how the server that the app is run on is incorrectly configured. To test this, please install an old version of firefox. You can download an older version from http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all-older.html then try to visit the website again. Please let us know if it turns out that it works with version 3.6

  • After installing iOS 6 update my ipod touch 5G doesn't work anymore

    after installing iOS 6 update my ipod touch 5G doesn't work anymore. Can anybody help me? Please!

    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.
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

    Hello Rach Ryan
    First I would try closing the app from multitasking and then launching it again. To do that, double tap the Home button and then swipe up on the app to close it completely. If that does not work, then I would restart your iPhone.

    Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset

  • When I click on the button to download the new IOS software, I get a message saying that all the items on my iTouch will be removed.  Will I have to reload everything after updating the software?

    When I click on the button to download the new IOS software, I get a message saying that all the items on my iTouch will be removed.  Will I have to reload everything after updating the software?  Because I had to have my hard drive wiped a while back, I have items on my iTouch that are not in my iTunes.  Is there a way to copy everything on the iTouch into iTunes, if necessary, before I load the new software?

    It is possible to transfer purchases from your iPod back into iTunes before updating the OS. If you had any CDs from your personal collection, these you have to put back into iTunes manually. Hope this helps you & good luck!

  • Unable to update my apps after installing iOS 6.1

    unable to update some of my apps after installing iOS 6.1 on my ipad 3

    After Updating iTunes to the latest SW, I connected my iPod Touch 3G to the computer then checked iTunes for any app updates, found those that could not be updated to the iPod alone - downloaded them - when complete iTunes synced to my iPod. Worked fine for me.

    Hi Midnightbrat,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    The troubleshooting steps for the camera on the iPad are similar to the iPhone:  I've highlighted the pertinent steps below:
    Hardware troubleshooting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2802
    Camera
    If the screen shows a closed lens or black image, force quit the Camera app.
    If you do not see the Camera app on the Home screen, try searching for it in Spotlight. If the camera does not show up in the search, check to make sure that Restrictions are not turned on by tapping Settings > General > Restrictions.
    Ensure the camera lens is clean and free from any obstructions. Use a microfiber polishing cloth to clean the lens.
    Third-party cases can interfere with the autofocus/exposure feature and the flash; try removing the case if you have image-quality issues with photos.
    Try turning the iPad off and then back on.
    Tap to focus the camera on the subject. The image may pulse or briefly go in and out of focus as it adjusts.
    Try switching between the front and the back cameras to verify if the issue persists on both.
    I hope this information helps ....
    Have a great day!
    - Judy

  • After installing iOS 6.0, YouTube was gone, and can't fine it at app store.  The installation of new updates is never succecessful.  And there seems to be no way that you can stop it.  Why is that?

    After installing iOS 6.0, the previously installed YouTube was gone, and couldn't  find it at app store.  Also, the installation of new updates Can not be completed, they have been in "installing" status for days.  And there seems to be no way that I  can cancel it.  What should I do?

    Thanks, I understand that.  Now the biggest problem is that I can not purchase or install anything from App Store.  They have been in "waiting" mode ever since I tried to install them.  What might be the reason? 

  • After installing security update 10.6.8 I've seen dialog boxes asking me if I will permit certain root processes, e.g. configd, to receive unsolicited messages from the internet. What are the consequences of denying these requests?

    After installing security update 10.6.8 last night I've seen dialog boxes asking me if I will allow incoming network connections to certain root processes, e.g. configd.  I didn't see these dialog boxes prior to installing 10.6.8.  How do I make  informed decisions? In other words,
    (1) Where can I find 25-word summary descriptions of these processes?
    (2) Where can I find discussions of the consequences of granting or denying these requests?
    Alternatively (and at some risk of revealing metaphysical doubt) why am I being asked for these permissions?  And who expects me to make correct decisions?
    I have turned on th standard-issue OS X firewall and am running my system in stealth mode.

  • Sound Problem After Installing iOS 8.1

    Hello, after updating my iPad to iOS8.1 it started making weird noises, kind of the same ones you get while blocking it or getting a notification but with a little of a "robotic" twist. Restoring it seemed to had fix it until I tried to get the 8.1 again. I was just wondering if someone its having the same issue, and if so, whats the solution. Do you think that i'll be treated on the 8.2 version? I had the same problem with my iphone 4 once and couldnt get it sorted out.

    I successfully got my iPhone 6 messages sound by following Timothy Holt directions.
    Thanks Tim.

    Re: iPhone 6 does not ring or make any sound notifications after installing iOS 8.1in response to Jane1950
    What you have to do, and this appears to be essential after you update the OS, is to reboot your phone.
    1. Hold down the sleep/wake button and home button simultaneously.
    2. Let go when the Apple logo appears and the iPhone is booting up.

  • Volume buttons don't work after installing ios 7.0.4

    I have an Iphone 4 (MC603B/A) and after installing IOS 7.0.4 the volume buttons and the mute switch don't work. Also, if I receive a call or a message I don't get any sound.
    There is no sound either if I play a video. At the same time, the alarm does work and the voice in the GPS works also.
    Any ideas on how to resolve this issue?
    Thanks

    I have exact the same problem as you! Soon I will go to an Apple Genius Bar. When I got the solution, I will tell you!
