Apps Don't Always Load - Phone or Service Issue?

I have the iPhone 4S (AT&T as my provider) and awhile back when I did the software update iOS 5.1.1, I am now running on 4G. Now, I've heard many things about 4G - that it doesn't make your phone load any faster, it's not really 4G, etc. However; even with full bars when I try and run my apps (i.e. Instagram. FaceBook, games, basically anything require an Internet connection), it often "times" out and cannot load the app. I also have trouble sending and receiving e-mails, and text messaging as well as with Safari. I have had to turn off iMessaging because it always fails to send. I'll get error messages saying my connection has timed out, cannot refresh feed, server cannot be reached.. Obviously when I am connected through Wi-Fi, I have no issues but when I am only connected through 4G/Edge. Has anyone ever encountered this problem? Is this a service issue with AT&T or is it my phone that I will need to bring in to Apple to have them check out?

Thanks for the suggestion, and I realized I forgot to include that I have tried exactly that! I've tried to reset my phone as well as restore it to factory setting hoping there was some glitch and it'd be gone by doing the reboot but nope. It's just frustrating because I can see I have good signal yet my phone isn't working like it should be. Plus, it's not like having the iPhone is cheap!

  • Boot Camp drivers don't always load (for Windows 7)?

    Recently, I backed up my Windows 7 Boot Camp partition with Carbon Copy Cleaner before realizing that it would not be a bootable backup. Well, after some fiddling around, I made it bootable again (with the help of iPartition) and it generally works well.
    However, for some reason, sometimes when I boot into Windows 7, it appears that some drivers don't work properly about half the time. For instance, if I load a game, the game will not be full screen and will instead be the exact dimensions that is specified (my display is 1920 x 1080; if the game is set to 1280 x 720, then it won't stretch to full screen but instead appear at that size). As I said, this happens about half the time.
    Also, I use MacDrive so I can write to Mac partitions, and when these display problems occur, then MacDrive will also show an error saying that it needs to be repaired.
    All of this can be fixed with a restart, but after restarting, my two displays will be duplicated instead of extended.
    It appears that the display drivers (and perhaps a few things, related to MacDrive) don't seem to be loading properly at all times? For some reason, I can seem to fix this if, when in Mac, I quit all applications first before booting up Boot Camp. I don't know how they could be related, but it so far seems that way.

  • All Gawker websites cause massive slowdowns, Not Responding status (but it rarely crashes), and don't always load properly, regardless of the number of open tabs or programs.

    Any time I navigate to one of the Gawker Media sites, Firefox slows down massively. The page loads extremely slowly, and the program freezes up. I often get a (Not Responding) message up at the top of the screen. Other programs on my computer are unaffected. This rarely (only twice in dozens of tries) actually crashed Firefox. It eventually comes back and everything runs fine, on that tab and others, until I try to move to or add another Gawker Media page. Occassionally the Gawker sites don't seem to load properly, but I suspect that may be an unrelated issue, caused by ABP or NoScript blocking ads or pop-ups on individual pages.

    -> Tap '''ALT''' key or press '''F10''' to show the Menu Bar
    -> Update ALL your Firefox Plug-ins https://www.mozilla.com/en-US/plugincheck/
    -> go to Tools Menu -> Clear Recent History -> '''Time range to clear: select "EVERYTHING"''' -> click Details (small arrow) button -> place Checkmarks on '''Cookies, Cache''' -> click '''Clear Now'''
    -> go to Tools Menu -> Options -> Advanced -> Network -> Offline Storage (Cache): click '''Clear Now''' button
    -> Restart Firefox

  • PSD files don't up-load because "maximum compatability" issues

    I have a load of PSD files that don't load because they were saved in previous versions of PS when maximum compatability did not exist in preferences. The problem is they are mixed in with other files and Light Room does not identify the specific files.
    When I eventually do locate one the fix is easy enough to resave with this setting.
    Currently I am sorting all files by type, sorting out the PSD files, running an action to correct then upload. Really takes the fun out of this.
    Any suggestions?

    Hi Gaspar,
    Are you using a preloader for the project? If so, the default
    one in Captivate waits for 60% of the project to load before
    playing. Perhaps try to add the preloader if you aren't using one,
    or remove it if you are to see if that makes a difference. In
    Captivate 3, you can change this option in Preferences -->
    Project --> Start and End --> Loading Screen.
    Good luck,
    David
    Edit: I just tried this too and got the same results when
    publishing with all versions of Flash - I was a little surprised to
    see it even with Flash 7 exports, because Captivate has let me
    embed .swf animations into a single .swf project file using Flash
    7. I'm guessing that whatever Flash "engine" Captivate uses to
    create its own FMV .swfs must be Flash 8 or 9. That would be
    something that would be nice to adjust - especially because of the
    lack of the ability to merge .swf files into one file. I guess I'll
    send a feature request again...

  • I don't always hear or feel my phone when I'm in my workshop. Is there an app that can ring a bell or flash a light on and off when I receive a call or text?

    I don't always hear or feel my phone when I'm in my workshop. Is there an app that can ring a bell or flash a light on and off when I receive a call or text?

    There are a number of hardware devices that you may want to look at. Some of them require that the iPhone be placed into a "base station" in order to work. Following is one set of possibilities: http://www.harriscomm.com/index.php/equipment/cell-phones-accessories/cell-phone -accessories/loud-ringers.html
    If you do an internet search for something like "ringer for cell phone in home" you will find a variety of others.

  • Why does my iphone 3gs always load newstand when i try to enter the app store

    When i try to get into the APP store my phone always loads newstand so I cant get the apps i want,anybody got any ideas which would help

    Hi DashyEdge,
    When you say you "changed my apple id", does that mean you renamed it to your new email address?
    See "How to change the name you use for your Apple ID"
    That is what you want to do so you still only have one Apple ID and it now has the new name and email.
    It sounds like you may have created a new Apple ID instead and started purchasing stuff with that.  Just because an old email address expires, doesn't mean the Apple ID it is based on goes away.  Apple IDs can't be deleted.  The only way for them to change is to rename them to a new "ID" (name/email).
    It is best to stay with only one Apple ID for purchases.  As you are seeing, Apps need to be updated with the ID they were purchased with. If you don't have many purchases with your new Apple ID, you might want to rename it to something else so you can rename your old ID to this new name (email).  Then stick with your old, but renamed ID.
    You don't remember the password for your old Apple ID?  Can you access your old Apple ID using the security questions instead of the email verification?

  • TS1398 my ipad is connected to my wi-fi but the app store and itunes store never  open, the internet nev    er works and it is always  loading. i dont understand as it is a brand new ipad.

    my ipad is connected to my wifi but the app store and itunes store never open, the internet never works and it is always loading but never working. I dont understand why as my computer works for my wifi and my brand new ipad should too.

    Some things to try first:
    1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
    3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
    4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
    5.  Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
        •    Launch Settings app
        •    Tap on Wi-Fi
        •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
        •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

  • I want to update my phone, but i purchased many apps and music on the phone. it won't let me authorize my computer so i cannot update. i don't want to deauthorize all my computers. how can i find out which 5 computers i have authorized?

    i want to update my phone, but i purchased many apps and music on the phone. it won't let me authorize my computer so i cannot update. i don't want to deauthorize all my computers. how can i find out which 5 computers i have authorized? also how can i update the software?

    This is a tedious solution, which is stupid!  And some users report an inability to reauthorize a computer after an "en masse” deauthorization.  I can’t believe Apple doesn’t provide a list or menu to find out which computers you’ve authorized! Obviously, APPLE knows (or else they couldn’t tell us how many computers we have authorized)--so why can’t they give us access to that information about our own computers??!!!
    And for an already-authorized computer with a hard drive that’s since been replaced and upgraded from Mavericks to Yosemite, would it be recognized as a “new computer” and require authorization? Would its previous incarnation (i.e., with the old hard drive and OS) be considered a separate computer? Some users report they can’t authorize a computer after an OS upgrade because of that. Can’t believe we have to do such a bass-ackwards kludge!

  • Since I updated my 4S iphone to the latest iOS7 version, I can no longer close any of my apps.  As a result, all my apps remain open on my phone.  Even powering down and restarting does not solve the problem.  Specifically, the icons don't wiggle anymore.

    Since I updated my 4S iphone to the latest iOS7 version, I can no longer close any of my apps.  As a result, all my apps remain open on my phone.  Even powering down and restarting does not solve the problem.  Specifically, when I double-click the start button, my open app icons display.  But when I hold my finger on an icon, the apps do not wiggle and display an "x" to close.  Any advice... thanks?!

    Double tap the Home button, then swop upwards on the App Preview (not the App Icon). Tap the Home button again when done to return to normal screen.

    Help
    When im logged in on my phone and try to purchase any app, it does the loading spinning circle and then stops. And i can't download anything. Why is this?

    Hi ..
    Reset the device:
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    If that doesn't help, check restrictions.   Settings > General > Restrictions

  • Since upgrading my phone to 6.0.1, I'm using way too much data. I believe it's the podcast app that's not loading shows while I'm connected to wifi. I have the 3g turned off for podcasts??? also after a phone call or an alert it starts playing a podcast?

    since upgrading my phone to 6.0.1, I'm using way too much data. I believe it's the podcast app that's not loading shows while I'm connected to wifi. I have the 3g turned off for podcasts??? also after a phone call or an alert it starts playing a podcast?

    I've also had the same issues, after upgrading to IOS 6.0, the apps in my iPhone 4 were crashing and the battery life run out very fast.
    The only solution worked for me was to remove all mail accounts (Exchange/Gmail) from my iPhone (in settings) and then add them back.
    The crashing were stopped! also the battery was back to normal.
    I found the solution by first looking at the crash logs (in IOS 6). you can find them at Settings -> General -> About (at the bottom of the About menu you will find the option that opens the logs).
    There i saw many logs about Low Memory crash. 99% of the logs were pointed that the largest process (use the most memory) during the crashes is "dataaccessd".
    I search in the web and found that this process is a deamon process that reponsible the Mail accounts (like Exchange/Gmail) and contancts list.
    I've installed the app "System Status - activity monitor" which shows important system info like CPU usage, Memory usage and running processes.
    Before apply my solution (deleting the mail accounts) i saw that the CPU usage was very high which consume the battery very fast. Also i saw that the memory (RAM) was run out.. which probably what cause the crashing..
    After deleting the mail accounts (at Settings -> Mail, Contacts, Calendars) i check again with the System Status app, and saw that the memory and CPU were back to normal.
    Adding the mail accounts back, still everything work ok
    Hope this solution will help you too,
    Enjoy!

  • How to delete an Update for an App that is not loaded on phone?

    I have an App Update for an application that is not (and has never been - to my knowledge) loaded on my phone!
    How do I get rid of this update?
    OR should I install it, or try to install and then delete the App. (if it loads).
    This update does NOT show on iTunes site when the phone is connected. (not sure if it would show updates anyway).
    It's a casino games application - so if I install and delete will I get inundated with unwanted gaming Apps?
    And why should I get an update for an App that is not loaded - is this a software glitch, or just speculation by the writers to get some money????
    This phone was pre-owned by family member, and all the updates to date have been for Apps that I have downloaded, during the year or so of my use.

    Hey darwinobambino,
    It seems like you are asking about how to delete some an album on your iPhone. If this album is one that you have downloaded, then you can use the following article to help you delete it:
    iCloud and iTunes Match - iPhone
    http://help.apple.com/iphone/8/#/iphb8d9fd5a6
    Remove a song that’s been downloaded. Swipe left, then tap Delete. The song is removed from iPhone, but remains available from iCloud.
    View only music that’s downloaded. Go to Settings > iTunes & App Store. Under Show All, turn off Music.
