Festive Kit download has caused Apple Iphone to freeze

Hi,
I've received a message from O2 inviting me to download something called "O2 Festive Kit" from ITunes store. I did so, only to find that my phone has frozen. A picture of a festive hamper has appeared on screen, with "O2 Festive Kit" written on it. However I can't get rid of it, furthermore I can't switch the phone off or basically do anything at all. I've popped the SIM out, which (predictably) had no effect.
Help!

No star here - just repeating what I've previously learned via these forums. Glad we averted some tears! FYI, this is a fairly successful method for solving many iPhone issues.

    Your friend will have to create his iCloud account on a different iOS device.  His device has already created the maximum number of iCloud accounts and cannot create another one.

    downloading new operating system iPhone 3gs freezes during restore

    I was only able to restore the phone after booting into Windows and using the Windows version of iTunes. Kinda pathetic.

  • IOS5 download has locked my iPhone

    I have tried to download iOS5 to my iPhone 3GS today, each time the downlaod finishes I get the message that I need to restore - 6 times today so far at around 40 minutes each time! now my phone is dead all I get is the iTunes logo and USB logo, no phone, no update grr! Any ideas people?

    1. You need to restore the phone using the last computer you synced with.  See this for other options:
    iOS: Forgotten passcode or device disabled after entering wrong passcode
    2. There never was a FaceTime home screen icon on any iPhone.  It's built into the Contacts and Phone apps.

  • IOS 8.1.3 update has caused my iPhone 4S to die.

    Does anyone have a similar experience?  After setting up my phone to install iOS 8.1.3, it crashed midway through the install and asked me to plug into iTunes for a restore.  This worked after many failed attempts, however the phone did not work as well as it should.  After about 20 hours of use, the phone gave up and the iPhone logo is displayed.  I tried a hard reset and that didn't work;  I tried holding down the home button whilst plugging in the charger cable whilst connected to iTunes/computer and that didn't work.  So i think my phone is well and truly kaput.

    I finally managed to restore the phone back to factory settings after 24 hours of hassle.  I waited until the battery was flat, and held the home button whilst plugging it into iTunes and waiting until the computer recognised the phone.  This did take five attempts, but it finally has restored my phone.

  • Trouble texting or sending email to someone with an Apple Iphone

    I can text to my daughter, who has an Apple Iphone and she will not receive it. Someone told me I had to release something on my Samsung Note 4 that would let me send to "the competition" phone. I can receive the text but I cannot text back and it go through, even though it acts as if it did.Can you help?

    If you had an iPhone prior to your current phone, your phone number is still being held by apple.
    Log in to your apple account on a computer at www.icloud.com and remove your old iPhone from Find My iPhone, and go to appleid.apple.com and change your Apple ID password and/or primary email address.
    It may take 24 hours to unregister from Apple servers.

  • When I try to connect my iPhone to my laptop to import photos and videos it says there are no files or folders under "Apple Iphone". My laptop recognises my phone and my camera roll has around 300 photos and videos but none of them come up on my laptop?

    The memory on my Phone is really bad so i cant store much. The pictures i am trying to import are really important and i cant lose them. My phone has been playing up a lot and im afraid of losing the pictures so tried to import them onto my laptop. Its a windows 8 and every time i connect my iphone a window automatically opens titled "Apple iphone" but underneath it says "no files or folders". How can i resolve this?
    Also the apple store have told me not updating may be causing problems but i cant update due to no space. i have 3 apps, around 300 photos/videos and no music. it is 16gb so i dont know why im having this problem

    This is how you import photos/videos:

  • My girlfriend has my old iphone 4 and still has my Apple ID on the phone. How do I change it to her Apple ID?

    I have given my girlfriend my old iPhone 4 but she still has my Apple ID on there. She is able to see what apps I've downloaded and it asks for my password and user name when she tried to install something on there. I want it so she has her own on there and is able to access her own app store etc without having mine on there. She was also getting texts through on it that my cousin was sending to me on my existing iPhone 5?
    Does anyone know how to change this? Or what the text issue could be?

    Follow this to allow her to start from scratch as if a new iPhone with her own Apple id

  • I have an Apple iphone 4s and for the last 4 weeks I cannot download or update any apps. I have an iPad and a Mac book pro and the apps download on these devices fine. My phone tells me that I have 12 updates but when I press update all or update any indi

    I have an Apple iphone 4s and for the last 4 weeks I cannot download or update any apps. I have an iPad and a Mac book pro and the apps download on these devices fine. My phone tells me that I have 12 updates but when I press update all or update any individually nothing happens at all. It also does not ask me for my password any more but my iPad and mac book do.
    I have signed in and out of the app store and the password is correct. I have tried both kinds of reboot but that did nothing. I have tried to update the apps by connecting phone to Mac book pro...it shows the apps being download on the Mac book and says it will sync them to my phone but it does not. Everything else on my phone works fine.
    Any ideas ...Please!

    Thank you, this has resolved both the iphone and ipad problem immediately.  I am concerned that I may have a problem with apps that I bought under my old  AppleID as they will not be recognised.  Any suggestions for this please?

  • I have downloaded IOS7 on my iPhone and all calendar events have disappeared. The general functions of the calendar have changed and are definitely not 'user friendly'. How can I retrieve my calendar events. Will Apple improve the calendar function

    I have downloaded IOS7 on my iPhone and all calendar events have disappeared. The general functions of the calendar have changed and are definitely not 'user friendly'. How can I retrieve my calendar events. Will Apple improve the calendar function or revert to the previous system. Even the typing function on IOS 7 is faulty - very slow to respond to the keyboard. I no longer enjoy using my iPhone. Can anyone assist. Thank you

    Very strange! All of my calendar events have reappeared. This has happened one week after downloading iOS 7
    The calendar however,  is not easy to use.
    The typing function on the phone has  become even slower. Have to wait for each letter to show on screen.

  • Download error, tap to retry on song in download list even though has downloaded and plays on iPhone 5s

    I recently downloaded a song through iTunes on my IPhone.
    The song downloaded and can be played on the phone but iTunes is still say that the song hasn't fully downloaded. Comes up with 'Downloaded error, tap to retry' that I can't get rid of.
    This is strange as the song has completed downloading and can be played on the iPhone in its entirety!

    Hello Bdev15,
    I would be concerned too if the songs I purchased from iTunes were not downloading to my iPhone. You have taken some great troubleshooting steps already, and thank you for providing the details of the steps you too.  I have a few additional suggestions to get it downloaded to your iPhone.
    First, I recommend checking to see if the download was interrupted:
    If your download was interrupted using your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
    From the Home screen, tap the iTunes app.
    For iPhone or iPod touch, tap More > Downloads. For iPad, tap Downloads.
    Enter your account name and password if prompted.
    Tap the blue download arrow to resume.

    If the songs still do not download, next I recommend downloading the songs when connected to another network.  For example, if you are using the cellular network, you could switch to Wi-Fi, or you could try an alternate Wi-Fi network.  Follow the steps in the section titled "iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch > Music" in the article below to download the songs:

    If you are still not able to download the songs, you can report an issue with these purchases using the steps in this article:

  • I just downloaded ios5 to my iPhone 3gs but nothing has changed ... i don't have a notification centre or anything ! help please !! :(

    I just downloaded ios5 to my iPhone 3gs but nothing has changed i have no notification center or anything help!

    Hi,
    Just updated Mac with Lion Recovery and Mac OSX update, then updated my iPhone 3Gs with V5 software. Here is a screen shot of my notification center.
    Have to say all went extremely smoothly along with a few cups of coffee, only thing that happened was after I hooked up to iCloud I needed to get an iPhoto update in order to get photo stream working, which I did and all is fine.
    Once again a big thank you to Apple and all the hard working tech people.
    Not sure what has happend but are you sure that the upgrade took? Just check your software version in settings > general > about.

  • HT201401 What causes the iPhone 4S to shut down to a black screen when it has full power?

    What causes the iPhone 4S to shut down to a black screen when it has full power? I have cleared the open icons and it works for one day then shuts down again.

    Software hiccup, glitch or maybe faulty battery. Restore iPhone with iTunes on computer. See if this helps. If still problem that you think is serious enough to fix, all iPhone 4S have full Warranty. Make Genius Reservation and take iPhone to Apple for resolution.
