After updating to ios5 my i phone and it keeps switching off

I recently updated my Iphone 3gs to iOS5 and now my phone keeps switching itself off and on again,
I like the new iOS so would like to keep it if anyone knows how I can sort this out?

i was having some different issues after the upgrade - my phone wouldn't stay on the 3g network and I couldn't make/receive calls or sms or access the internet via 3G. I tried a regular recovery, which didn't work, but just did a DFU restore. apparently it's a different type of restore... anyway it worked so far.
this is how you do it
They probably used what is refered to as a DFU restore. To do this yourself you must plug the phone into the computer while on. Hold the sleep button for 3s, then hold both the home and the sleep button for 10s, then release the sleep button and hold only the home button untill the phone apears in itunes as a device in recovery mode. If done correctly the iPhone display will remain off once the device has connected. Proceed to restore.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    You can only locate your device when it is logged into iCloud and 'Find My Phone' is enabled, additionally the device will need to be switched on and connected to a wifi or cellular network.
    Unfortunately, you cannot activate iCloud or 'Find My Phone' remotely.

  • After updating to iOS5 my music disapeared and wont sync.

  • Why are several Apple apps crashing after update to IOS5? Safari, Appstore and iBooks all crash Frequently :-(

    Sine I updated to IOS 5.0.1 my iPad(version 1) crashes quite often.
    Especially when using Safari, Ibooks and Appstore.
    It is quite frustrating and I have  feeling that there are memory leaks.
    Would be good to know if Apple are working on these problems.

    Well, I have an iPad 2 3G 32GB end I can say ios 5 is PERFECT, really never seen an appstore app crashing!(200 apps + games installed), the only system app crashing sometimes is Safari, very rarely.
    Os works very fast, notification center is awsome, the battery is good.
    Its perfect!
    iOS 5 on the iPad 1 of ipad different story, AppStore apps crashing all the time, settings apps crashing, reminders crashing. bad Battery 3-4 h! VERY slow.Rubbish!
    I guess what I'm trying to say is, the old ipad its slow end crashes, and so, if you want better, you upgrade.

  • My ipad is working very slow touch screen is not wokring perfectly and apps keep switching off when i play

    IPad Mini, 64GB, IOS 8.1.
    My IPad is working very slow.
    The touch screen is not working as good.
    Many problems when i play a game ( Real Racing 3) keeps on turning off when i play.
    Camera is also blurry.
    Screen sometimes goes blank.

    Try these basic troubleshooting steps.
    Go to Settings>Safari>Clear History and Website Data
    Now close all apps. In order to close apps, you have to drag the app up from the multitasking display. Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the app that you want to close and then swipe "up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it.
    Next, reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
    If those three things made no difference, try this. Reset all settings. You will not lose any data, but most of the device settings will have to be entered in the settings app again. Settings>General>Reset>Reset all Settings.
    If all of that fails, restore the iOS software. Backup your iPad before you restore, then restore the backup when you are done. If that still doesn't help, restore your iPad as new and start all over again. Most purchased content can be downloaded again at no charge as long as you use the same Apple ID and as long as the content is still available in the store.

  • After updating to iOs5 I'm having a lot of trouble with receiving and making phone calls

    After updating to iOs5 I'm not able anymore to receive and make normal phone calls. This is very frustrating: when somebody calls me they have signal but my iPhone 4 doesn't make any sound or anything and when I try to make a call I don't hear any signal while phone rings at the other side. Sometimes if I turn the phone off and on again things go better but problem is still there. What should I do?

    we have the same problem, no solutions received until now!

  • Is it possible to restore to ios5 after updating to ios6 when my phone returned to locked state to unlocked state. Pla help...

    Is it possible to restore to ios5 after updating to ios6 when my phone returned to locked state to unlocked state. Plshelp...

    Sounds like your iPhone was hacked/modified/jailbroken to work
    with wireless carrier other than the one it was purchased from. The
    update has relocked it to the original carrier. Contact the original
    carrier to see if they offer unlocking and if you qualify - only the
    carrier to which the iPhone is locked can unlock it.
    What does it say when you look at Settings=>General=>Carrier?
    Be advised that the previous modifications to change from original carrier
    to your current Carrier may have rendered the software unable to be
    officially unlocked and may prevent future updates.
    Reverting to a previous version of iOS is not supported. Even it it was,
    such reversion would not solve your problem because the iPhone has become
    relocked to the original wireless provider and that status will not change
    no matter what iOS version is installed.

  • After updating to ios5 my phone no longer notifies me when i have recieved e mail, any one having this happen to them?

    After updating to ios5 my phone no longer indicates when i have unread e mails, is this happening to any one else?

    I am back with an update. I turned off Match on both the ipad and the iphone 5. By doing so I was able to sync my Iphone and ipad to itunes and store the music on my devices rather than the slow streaming.  So far this has fixed my problems with the iphone I have all my music, playlist, most of the album art and so on.  But the ipad is a different story.  I have the music and artist but not one playlist  I am sure Apple will have an upgrade soon that will address these issues they are usually very good about this. 
    Now have any of you experienced another problem that has existed as long as I have used faces in Aperture.
    I have over 200 faces and they are organized a-z problem is I have this going on A-Z folowed by a few that start over A-Z followed by another few A-Z and again a 4th time A-Z.  Imagine how difficult it is while I am showing someone the great features of my iphone, ipad and imac.  Which I do talk highly of all the time.  But how do I explain that even though their name starts with a or b or what ever they are not important enough to me to be in the first list of A-Z or even the 2nd or 3rd list of A-Z someohow they are in the 4th section of the list!!!!
    I have managed to get the Imac to fix this but for some reason the IOS devices do not.   Any ideas?
    Thanks Al

    If your iPhone was hacked/jailbroken to use a different carrier then the update locks it back again to the original carrier.

  • Ive lost all contacts and messages after updating to ios5 ??? Help

    Ive lost all my Contacts and messages after updating to ios5 ??? Help
    How can I get them all Back ???

    Have had the same issue - and conflicts between PC, Ipad and Iphone.  Gained 6000 names and lost contacts or contact contents.  Have had to edit on PC.  Spoke with Apple Express and was advised to do editing only on PC and then sync.  Was also told not to use Icloud until problems had been solved.  Have spent last two weeks recreating my contacts list.
    Haven't yet bothered to reclaim my missing paid ring tones.

  • Cellphone-Roaming impossible with iPhone 4 after updating to iOS5.

    After updating to iOS5 I'm unable to connect my iPhone 4 to a cellphone-network when in foreign countries (roaming), I only get a network in my home-country Germany?
    When trying to select a cellphone-network manually, it shows me all the available networks, but as soon as I choose one it says: "the choosen network is no longer available. You may choose another network in Settings."
    This happens with all networks shown.
    Before updating to iOS5 roaming was possible without any problem as I have the option in my contract with T-Mobile Germany since the beginning. I checked with T-Mobile Support in Germany and was told that from their side there are no restrictions.
    How can I fix this problem (which is obviously a software-problem)??

    Call your carrier & have them remove International Provisioning from your account, once they've confirmed doing so, turn your phone off...wait 30 seconds or so, then turn your phone back on. Once done, have your carrier re-provision your account for International Roaming...all countries you intend to roam in...once your carrier has confirmed re-provisioning your account, turn your phone off again...wait 30 seconds or so, then turn your phone back on. Make sure, before you go through this that Set Time Zone Automatically is on in Settings.

  • After updating to IOS 8, my phone won't recognize my TV.

    After updating to IOS 8, my phone won't recognize my TV via AV cable.

    Same problem here on four devices, two of which aren't even running iOS 7. App updates just disappear from the app store app and the app tells me all my apps are up to date when they aren't.
    This problem fixed itself on the iPhone 4 this morning after I synced it with iTunes last night.  My iPad 3 is now listing app updates, but it stalls when I try to download them, so I'm updating via iTunes now.
    I suspect this is a server problem on Apple's end (I noticed iTunes match isn't working this morning either....). Try syncing your phone with iTunes in the meantime or updating each app individually through the purchased app list (just click on it and you can update on a per app basis).
