Brightness is so dim I cannot use my phone

Brightness is so dim I cannot use my Iphone 6.

Hi cdymit,
I see that you are having an issue with the screen brightness on your iPhone 6. Have you already attempted to adjust the screen brightness? Instructions for doing so can be found here:

I just "upgraded" my iPhone with the new software. As a low vision person, your phone was always previously helpful. I now discover that I cannot use the phone easily. The font has been changed to a very narrow typeface and the greyscale has been altered

I just "upgraded" my iPhone with the new software. As a low vision person, your phone was always previously helpful. I now discover that I cannot use the phone easily. The font has been changed to a very narrow typeface and the greyscale has been altered to reduce contrast. The background is now grey as well rather than white. The accessibility options permit only three choices. First, increase type size. With the the low greyscale, thin typeface, increasing type size makes it HARDER to read. There is no option for contrast enhancement. Third, the background switch options suffers from the same deficit as the white background. The third choice is to enhance brightness but without the option to change contrast, this is useless. Am I missing something? Can this be fixed? How? When? Are you planning a similar negative "update"/change to other devices?

I am having the same problem. I have gone through every setting, set the bold font, contrast, larger font....everything I could find in any post to try and help - and between the new color scheme that makes it virtually impossible to use the pictures of my grandchildren as background (the picture colors now become the theme colors - which now match the colors of many of the "flat" icons...) I am finding the phone very difficult to use--espeically things like the calendar which has now become very hard to "see" and use. If I can't revert this thing to iOS6, I may have to get a different phone.

Apple does not get involved with lost or stolen items. A carrier may offer IMEI blocking (non in the USA currently do, but elsewhere some do). Your carrier would already know your IMEI number anyway, so just contact them and ask them about it.
It is VERY good that you had a passcode lock on the device. That means your personal information will be safe. And yes, after 10 failed attempts (each with increasing time out between allowing another attempt) the device will permanently lock them out until they restore the device in iTunes. Anyone can go ahead and restore your iPhone as new in iTunes, but that also wipes everything off it and restores it to new condition - which does mean they can go off and use it as theirs, but at least all your data is gone.
Did you file a police report it was stolen? Also your carrier should be told (and ask them about IMEI blocking). Sorry it is gone, but you did the best thing possible to protect yourself and your information when you set up that passcode lock.

HT4623 HELP I am setting up the OS7 and it will not let me past the accept terms of iCloud...I cannot get past it, close it or finish setup PLUS I cannot use my phone!

I downloaded OS7 and was setting up icloud but it will not let me past the accept, even when I accept all 3 sections. I tried decling but it still will not let me pass.
I cannot use the phone or make any calls...it is just stuck.

I found just by powering off the phone and restarting it, it let me carry on.

I connected my iphone 3g to itunes which was in 4.1 firmware and itunes ask for an update which i downloaded an updated the phone to version 6.1.3 but my phone cannot start it shows no service my sim card is not getting network and i cannot use the phone.

i connected my iphone 3g to itunes which was in 4.1 firmware and itunes ask for an update which i downloaded an updated the phone to version 6.1.3 but my phone cannot start it shows no service my sim card is not getting network and i cannot use the phone. what should i do.?

First, you do not have a 3G if you could upgrade it to 6.1.3, because 4.2.1 is the last version that will work on the 3G. So you either have a 3GS or you somehow hacked the phone to install an incompatible version. You can check the model you have by entering your serial number here: https://selfsolve.apple.com/agreementWarrantyDynamic.do
Assuming you have a 3GS the most likely reason for your problem is you have a gray market phone that was hacked or jailbroken to unlock it. When you upgraded it you removed the hack, so the phone is now locked to its original carrier.

Updated my iPhone 4 to iOS 7.0.6 and now cannot use text/phone

I updated my iPhone 4 to iOS 7.0.6 and now I cannot use text/phone services. When attempting to access either service from the primary display the screen whites out and freezes up. Settings>Phone allows me to interface with my preference howevver tapping on Settings>Messages (or Settings>Facetime) causes the Settings function to lock up. I have to back out of Settings entirely and restart. This is seriously agrivating.

I would do a full restore in iTunes using your last backup.

HT201303 I have security questions, the one that was originally entered is forgotten. I cannot use my phone because I updated. Will you please HELP??

Please help me change the security questions. I have tried all your sights with no luck. I have changed the name, and password, which worked ok, but the security questions which were originally setup are forgotten . Will you please help me get this corrected? I'm not a happly camper at the moment because it has been two days starting when I updated the 7.01.04, I cannot use my phone. Delores S. Owens Model No. on phone A1349, EMC # 2422, FCCID-BCG-E24228 This is all the info I have.

The Three Best Alternatives for Security Questions and Rescue Mail
    1. Use Apple's Express Lane.
          Go to https://expresslane.apple.com ; click 'See all products and services' at the
          bottom of the page. In the next page click 'More Products and Services, then
          'Apple ID'. In the next page select 'Other Apple ID Topics' then 'Forgotten Apple
          ID security questions' and click 'Continue'. Please be patient waiting for the return
          phone call. It will come in time depending on how heavily the servers are being hit.
     2. Call Apple Support in your country: Customer Service: Contact Apple support.
     3. Rescue email address and how to reset Apple ID security questions.
A substitute for using the security questions is to use 2-step verification:

Hey vsu16,
Does iTunes recognize your iPhone at all? It sounds like this is the image you're seeing on your screen to connect your phone to iTunes:
If that looks right, you'll want to follow along with the steps in here;
iOS: Unable to update or restore
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808
If you see the Connect to iTunes screen but the device does not appear in iTunes, follow these troubleshooting steps if you're using a Mac, or these steps for Windows computers.

Cannot use this phone reload 64 bit version loop

Hi _ Every time i connect my phone (i-phone4) to the laptop to connect with i-tunes

I do that and get the same message again ad infinitum _ can anyone help?

NI VISA is a software abstraction layer for different physical interfaces (e.g. RS232).
I understood that your application is working with this in order to select and communicate with COM interfaces.
MAX (Measurement & Automation Explorer) is the tool to configure and test NI drivers, in this case VISA.
So if no COM shows up in MAX, you have a malfunction (or missing) installation of VISA.

Help iPhone4 only headphone set working cannot use the phone

Help iPhone4 only headphone set is working I cannot use the phone in a normal way, voice control keep coming up

The update did not do anything.
AT&T cannot and will not do anything, they do not provide support for iPhones, Apple does.
The issue is not with the iPhone or iOS if you've reset network settings and tried forgetting the Wi-Fi Network, it is specific to the network.
Check the settings on the router, try disabling the security settings first... that will clarify the issue is not with the device but rather the Network.

Your phone is in recovery mode; connect it to a computer and use iTunes to restore it.

Updated to iOS 8 and it asked for an old appleID that I no longer have, nor do I have the information to login. I cannot use my phone now.

I recently updated to the iOS 8. I have an iphone 5. My phone states that the update is almost finished. I just need to provide the password to my apple ID. However, the apple ID its asking for is no longer being used. For the life of me, I can't remember what that password was. It offers me the option of skipping the step, and when I choose that option, it basically just resets and I start from the beginning again. I then try to reset the password by try clicking "Forgot my Password" When I try resetting it by email, I don't receive any of the emails that prompt the password change. When I choose security question, it asks my birthday and the birthday I type in doesn't work. I am unable to use my phone, other than receiving calls. I made an appointment with the Apple Store, but I really can't wait until Friday to use my phone. HELP

Not an answer: similar problem. Some time ago the email address service that was my apple id was take from the market, so I had to introduce a new one on my Iphone 4S, Mac air and Ipod. I was able to do so on the other devises, but the iPad doesn't allow me, I go into the same vicious circle: I can only get a new ID if I can enter, which I only can if I enter in the old ID, which password is not working (I cannot imagine where it went wrong), to get a new password I either get it sent to the old email account which does not exist anymore, or with my birthday security answer which is denied (very strange, I do remember my birthday, I swear). So.......... anyone more clever then me (or Bignickel)? HELP

HT4623 I attempted to update my phone without realizing that I needed to sync the phone with my laptop. I am not home and my laptop is in another state. My phone is stuck in the "connect to iTunes" mode and I now cannot use the phone. Can this be undone

I attempted to update my iPhone 4 without realizing that I need to sync it with my laptop. My iPhone 4 is now stuck in the connect to iTunes mode and now I cannot use it. Is there a way to reverse this so I can use my phone because I do not have my computer with me?

Maybe it was hacked before and now through the update it's locked back to the original carrier.
