Everytime I touch my iPhone 5s, it restarts/crashes

I was using safari on my iPhone, then suddenly the screen went black as if I'd turned it off, the apple sign popped up, and then it came right back on. Since then, I can unlock my phone, but as soon as I click on an app, the same thing happens. I keep trying to manually turn it off, but it restarts on its own before I get the chance. Has anyone else had this problem? What do I do?

Every time I touch my Iphone 4s a box appears around whatever I touch and Siri talks to me and tells me what I am touching. I have to double click everything for it to work and restarting it won't fix the problem

My iPod Touch and iPhone 3G do not get recognized as a device by iTunes

Both, iPod Touch and iPhone 3G don't show up on my macbook and do not get recognized as a device by iTunes. I switched cables, restarted macbook (and the other devices) and did an iTunes update. Still nada, niente, rien, nichts and nothing... any guidance or help? appreciate it, thanks

IPod Touch (and iPhone) can't find Belkin N Wireless Router

I spent over an hour looking for an answer to this problem today and accidently found a solution - so am posting the answer.
Have a 2 year old Belkin N Wireless Router (model F5D8236-4v1) with SSID broadcasting on and WPA/WPA2-Personal (PSK) security selected.
All the Windows laptops in the house could see the wireless SSID and could successfully log in after entering the WPA/WPA2 password.
Both iPod Touch and iPhone 3GS could NOT see the SSID. Also entering the wireless router IP address directly instead of the SSID did NOT work.
After an hour of looking for solutions on-line, including:
- Tried no security
- Tried WEP 64 and 128 bit security
then stumbled across a thread in a forum where someone referred to changing a "-" (dash) in an SSID name to a character. So tried this.
The old SSID name includes spaces - "name name1 name2". I deleted the spaces, and the problem was solved.
This Belkin router comes with a default name of BelkinN_WirelessXXXXXX, but does not say in the online help to NOT use spaces in the SSID name. And again, the Windows laptops could see the wireless Router while it had the SSID name INCLUDING the spaces in the name.
Hope this saves at least one person going through the same wasted hour.

Click on the blue arrow to the right of the network name, if IP address starts with "169." ,restart your router. It should connect properly after your router reboots in a minute or two.

My iPhone 4 keeps restarting it's self & Won't Charge

24-06-2011
As from Friday 24th June 2011 when I purchased my iPhone 4 it Won't Charge, stays in the red & go above 5% even after 2-3+ days no difference charging plus I tried x4 different Apple charges but it made no difference at all to the problems with the iPhone 4.

24-06-2011
iPhone 4 keeps restarting it's self every 30 seconds
3.
24-06-2011
I do a system restore many times via iTunes
4.
I do a hard reset by holding the power & home button for 45sec x5 times
5.
I do a battery calibration by holding the power & home button for 25secas I'm told via online forum
6.
Just finely get the iPhone 4 updated to latest 4.3.3 OS via iTunes
7.
I leave iPhone 4 to completely dis charge where it won't start at all & then recharge it where charge holds for a couple of hours but then only to turn itself off when the power meter is reading 64% but won't restart after pressing power button.
8.
So I pug the iPhone 4 back on its charger for a couple of hours but it still reads only 1% battery power so I do another by holding the power & home button for 25 seconds as I'm told via online forum up to which the battery meter reads 96% as to will not charge no higher than 93-96% but again the seconds later the iPhone 4 again starts keeping restarting it's self every 30 seconds nonstop all over again.
9.
Nothing has help with this piece of Apple ****.
10.
Reading more online forum where this is a very common problem with it seem that all iPhone models, iPad’s, iPod 4 it also had similar problems as did mine.
11.
Just finely get the iPhone 4 updated to latest x4.more times of the iPhone OS via iTunes which has made NO DIFFERENCE to the continued problems with this APPLE PIECE OF CRAP.

Hi, did you ever solve this problem?
My 1 year old -- ha! one month out of warranty -- iPhone 4 has been having a nearly identical problem over the past few days.
It started by dying completely so I had the battery replaced, thinking it was simply battery issue.
It then worked again for a moment but started doing exactly what you describe, going through a reset cycle (longer than 30 seconds but who's counting). And it felt quite warm.
Did hard reset, plugged into wall charger and MBP USB but the new battery wouldn't even get a full charge (a whopping 92% after nearly two days). It would even lose battery when plugged in if I opened an app. And all the while plugged in, if I left the phone on, it would cycle through these resets. So I turned it off to try to charge it.
Now suddenly, it's dead again. Totally black, and hard reset does nothing. Up until two days ago there was nothing wrong whatsoever with this phone! And I hadn't even installed a new app that could be the root of the issue. No idea whatsoever what caused this.
Any help would be much appreciated!!

Try:

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

Since latest update, Sound Check on Ipod touch and Iphone doesn't work.

My playlists have always played at an even volume before Sunday's software updates to Itunes, Ipod touch, and Iphone. Now my playlist volumes are all over the map. I teach a fitness class in a large room to 70 people, and this is ruining it!! Apple support on the phone told me it should work. Yes, it did work until the update, and I didn't change anything until I noticed it wasn't working anymore.
Now I have uninstalled/reinstalled Itunes, restored my Ipod Touch as a new Ipod, and even deleted and reloaded my music. Still not working!!!

Just a stab in the dark, but check:
Settings -> WiFi -> (your WiFi network) -> HTTP Proxy
Set the Proxy to Auto and see if that helps.

I cannot get my ipod touch or iphone to be recognized by Itunes on my mac mini. Only when i download itunes each time afresh, will it show up the first time. Then these devices will not be recognized at other times. Is it because i am not uninstalling it

I cannot get my ipod touch or iphone to be recognized by Itunes on my mac mini. Only when i download itunes each time afresh, will it show up the first time. Then these devices will not be recognized subsequently. Is it because i am not uninstalling itunes before I download it? Surely this is a basic thing, ie that my devices need to recognize each other?

Ipod touch or iphone does not show up in itunes

Ok. So I have had this ongoing problem. Whenever I install an update to either itunes or my touch or iphone, itunes no longer detects the device. I have tried deleting the apple mobile device usb driver and letting it reinstall, powering on and off the devices and the computer, differnt usb ports, different usb cables. The only way I can get itunes to see the devices again is to completely remove all apple sw and reinstall. This is too time consuming to put up with anymore. Now today, after a complete reinstall last night and no updated software of any kind itunes does not see my devices again. Windows detects the devices and mobile device usb driver comes up in device manager with no conflicts.
Unless someone can point me in the right direction, I am giving up on itunes and apple.
Windows 7 with latest gen itouch and iphone 4s.
