  • Any ideas as to why my iPhone 3GS wouldn't be receiving any messages or voicemails unless I turn my phone off? Also, it isn't able to open any apps that require the internet.. Help??

    YOu can try resetting your network or a reboot.  To reboot hold down the home/power button together until you see the apple logo and then release.  Wait for the phone to boot back up,  you won't lose any data.

    Try to restore your iOS device two more times while connected with a cable, computer, and network you know are good. Also, confirm your security software and settings are allowing communication between your device and update servers.

    n the middle of looking through some pictures, my iphone 4 screen turned white and is now not turning off or on. What's the best thing to do?

    Try doing a hard reset - by holding the 'Power' button on the top and the 'Home' button simultaneously!

  • Why does my iPhone 3GS keep restarting on its own, and when I move the phone while its restarting, a white screen comes up and then it takes a while to turn it back on!

    So i have an iPhone 3GS and when i move the phone while its restarting, a white screen shows up, and sometimes i need to punch it to turn it on. HELP i dealt with this problem for months and im sick of it! HELP ME!!!!

    Sounds like hardware failure, called boot loop. Call Apple and or go on apple.com and make Genius Bar appointment to have your iphone reviewed by a Tech. Provided you iphone shows no physical or liquid damage they will take care of you, or if you have Apple Care Plus

  • Iphone 5c screen flickering, pixelated and then becomes unresponsive

    i got a replacement iphone 5c from apple about 4 months ago. my first 5c started flickering and eventually just gave up on me. apple had it for 2 weeks and sent back what i was told was a brand new 5c. Lucky for me as i was just passed my 1 yr warranty when i got it back. the first time i turned it on the screen flickered a few times but stopped. Now, the app icons jump around the screen and the screen gets so pixelated you can barely see the screen. After this, it will become completely unresponsive and wont even power off. Ive restored it three times now and nothing works.  i feel really let down - i look after my phones and have always bought apple products. the 5c is the first apple product ive had so many issues with. To have a completely unusable phone after 4 months of getting it straight from Apple is a joke and to make things worse im out of my warranty. is there any way of fixing this or at least contacting apple to let them know whats
    happened? the website just keeps redirecting me to various pages which are not helping at all.

    Hello woothie,
    It sounds like your screen is behaving unexpectedly and is not displaying your content correctly. If you had been restoring from a backup, I would next test it out after having backed up and restored as new with this article:
    How to erase your iOS device and then set it up as a new device or restore it from backups
    If you had restored as new, or the issue persits, here is the number to call AppleCare directly:
    Contact Apple for support and service

    Sounds like your phone is in recovery mode.  In this case, all data on it is gone.  There's nothing to back up.

  • My iPhone 4 screen turns black and unlocking the screen does not work

    Helpppppppp! I tried to open a webpage but then I locked the screen, I tried unlocking the screen but nothing happens. The screen is still black. Muting and unmuting works, the iPhone shakes but the screen doesn't come on. I have tried holding the home button and the lock button but nothing happens...

    Try a reset: Hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons and don’t let go until the screen goes dark and the Apple logo appears (no data will be lost)

  • My iphone 4S screen turns red and dim

    hi everyone
    i have an issue on my iphone 4S display. The screen turns red sometimes brown and I can barely see the text and the icon of eact app. It basically dims as well. I tried to reboot it, still doesnt work.
    please help me to overcome this.
    Thank you
    iphone 4s ios 8.1

    Howdy Atika Azmi,
    If your phone screen is still intermitently changing color and dimming, I would next reset the phone with these steps:
    Restart or reset your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
    To reset, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons for at least 10 seconds, until you see the Apple logo.
    Test the issue out for a bit and if it persists, I would next backup and restore the phone with iTunes and re test:
    Back up and restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch using iCloud or iTunes
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

  • My iPhone 5 screen turns green when watching videos or using FaceTime

    update to above - its a 5c I'm using.

  • When I shut the lid to my computer and then open it again the screen comes on and then goes black and I have to press random keys to make it show again.  Does anyone know why this is happening?

    When I close my lid to make the computer sleep and I open it back up again when I am ready to use it the screen turns on and then turns black.  I have to press random keys to make the screen show again.  Any help is greatly appreciated!

    First, before you sleep your MBP, make sure you either scroll down the Apple menu to sleep your machine, or do it even more easily by pressing CMD-OPTION - DiskDrive (upper right hand corner of your keyboard). I wouldn't just close your machine to let it sleep.
    It's hard to know exactly what's happening, but here are a few pointers.
    1. Go to System Preferences/Energy Saver and make sure you've set a sleep time of more than two or three minutes. Your machine may be trying to sleep too early. In the same preferences, set Computer Sleep to more than ten minutes, to make sure you don't get an unintentional sleep.
    2. Take a look for third-party applications you might have installed.
    Post here with your results!

  • Hi I am just after downloading ios 5 to my iphone but now the apps on my phone won't open or work? Any ideas as to why? thanks.

    Hi, I am just after downloading ios 5 to my iphone but now the apps on my phone won't work, even the free ones. Have tried deleting and reinstalling but it asks for credit card details even for the free apps. Any ideas as to why this is happening? Thanks

    If it is asking for account details then it might just need you to confirm your account before it lets you proceed. Maybe the terms and conditions changed since last time or something like that. Try signing into your Apple account in iTunes on a computer first to check that. Then restart the phone and try again.
