GeForce4 Ti4400 - various problems

I have been having various problems with my card. These include: Pausing for several seconds (like a lock up) then reverting to vga mode; complete freeze where I have to reset the computer; red lines and dots that fill the screen sporadically; a blank screen appears for 2-3 seconds and then back to normal.
In all cases I have to reboot to correct. Sometimes rebooting does not help. The red lines and dots return even on the posting screen. When this happens Windows/XP doesn't even start.
I have to powerthe machine off and let it sit for awhile and then turn it back on.
I'm using the latest driver from the MSI website:
nv4_disp Version 6.13.10.3100
VBA bios info: 4.25.00.22.44
I have a Gigabyte GA7VRXP MB, AMD 1800+ cpu, 512MB pc2700 memory from Samsung, HP cd-writer, lg dvd-rom drive, and 40Gb Maxtor hard drive.
This is all in an antec case Plus880 with true 430 ps
I also get a windows/xp dump file in: windows\logfiles\watchdog Here is what is in there:

I have 98SE so I don't know much about XP, but the artifacts you're seeing and the way it sometimes needs to be left off for a while makes it sound almost like it's overheating, because I had similar screwups when I overclocked another vidcard a few years back too much.
Check the fan on the card to see if it's running and make sure it's getting good ventilation (the card might be too close to another card on the board). If you have access to it, some of that cooling spray they have for testing electronics (might check Radio Shack or a PC store) might help show if it's temp-related or not.
And if you're running an overclock utility, try resetting to card defaults for a while. Running it past a certain point will screw it up even if you have it sitting in a freezer for cooling! :^)
Good luck.

Geforce4 Ti4400 Compatibility Problems

My new (expensive!) G4Ti4400 is giving me grief. X(
I have tried it in 4 PC's. It works in 1 of them, and gives me the same symptoms in the other 3.
I have taken it back to the retailer, who won't exchange it because it works on his testbed.
The symptoms are -
Corrupt characters in text mode (BIOS screen for example)
Yellow and red lines (in a repeated pattern) on windows 98 loading screen
Patterns of red blocks on windows desktop
I have tried removing all other cards (and even disabled IDE channels) to solve the problem to no avail.
Motherboards/PC's with problem -
1. Athlon XP 1700 on Elite K7S5A (latest bios installed)
2. Pentium III 750Mhz on ASUS CUV4X-E (100Mhz Bus)
3. Dell Dimension 4300 P4 at 1.7Ghz
PC that worked
1. HP Brio BA410 - Pentium III 800E
Please, please help me out ! :(

When I first had that problem, the local technical support sent me this article:
Hardware.fr has posted two short articles about problems many MSI Pro2 owners are encountering when they've placed a GF4 MX based card in their system. The first article. They were unable to get MSI's KT266A-based K7T Pro2 to boot with either Sparkle's or Leadtek's GF4 MX based cards, yet both components would function with other configuurations.
The second article where a reader tested a variety of mainboards with his Leadtek GF4 MX. His test was very thorough, trying a variety of different motherboard chipsets.
Yet this odd bug seems to be fine with other combinations as a PixelView GF4 MX card has been reported to work with the MSI Pro2. Gainward's and PNY's cards fail to boot 10 to 20% of the time too. Hardware.fr experienced no problems with Abit's GF4 MX on the Pro2.
So Leadtek, Sparkle, Gainward, MSI, PNY and PixelView cards have reported some problems with the Pro2 while Abit's card has yet to experience a bott failure.
The above text was all translated from http://www.harware.fr
I'm lucky enough to have an MSI Pro2 in my main system (not that lucky actually . I've been experiencing failed boots with my eVGA MX 440 and Creative MX 440 as well. From the wealth of info becomming available, it seems like all the blame rests in MSI's court. MSI do something!!!
I do not agree to the conclusion, but certainly there is a problem.
I guess I was lucky to solve it. At least for the moment, because I need to install a new sound card.
Hey, Jmedic, please forgive my ignorance, but what is a mini level?

Lock-Ups and Restarts with Geforce4 Ti4400

Hi,
I've been having this problem for quite a while now during 3d games.
My setup is:
Gigabyte GA7VRXP
AMD Athlon 2000+
MSI Geforce4 Ti4400
I guess the rest is irrelevant.
Please help, Thanks,
Eyal Ben David

PSU=Power Supply unit
Who made it?
On it there should be a label with some numbers. on that label there should be the correct numbers for the 3.3V line and the 5V line(celarly stated on the label). There should also be a combined power statement on that very same label. The 3.3V and the 5V are measured in amps.

Geforce4 ti4400 slow

I just got a msi geforce4 ti4400, installed it and even downloaded the latest drivers.
System is WindowsXP Pro.
MSI 850 pro with 512 rdram
1.6 ghz processor intel
I had a geforce2 gts and it gave me benchmarks much higher then my geforce4.
I benchmark Quake2, Halflife, all run very slow compared to my geforce2.
Help, I didn't spend all that money to get a slower vid card!!!!
theo

Obviosly the Ti4400 should be much faster so there is a problem.
A few things to check:
-Set the AGP apature size to 128MB
-Disable AntiAliasing during benchmarking
-Use 29.42 official drivers
-Refresh rate set too low and Vsync is active.
-850Pro (MS6339) had an original AMI bios that was very slow compaired with the later Award bios.

Various problems on Macbook Pro

Hello everyone. I know this is a long write up but I would really appreciate any help. I bullet pointed the problems to make it easier to follow. I have a Macbook Pro which I bought in August of 2010. Lately I have had various problems that become very frustrating. Here are the problems:
-The first problem is that when I shut my computer and then reopen it, the wifi display on the top has no bars. When I open up network prefrences, it shows my home wifi as available but when I click it, it says "cannot connect because the connection timed out." I try turning the wifi off and then back on but this doesnt solve the problem. My only resolution is to completely restart my computer. I know it is not my router because all the other computers in the house run fine.
-Another problem is that many times I cannot open firefox. I click on it and it says "Cannot open firefox. The application is already open." but it is not open because I had not opened it the whole time and if I go to force quit, it doesnt even show up in there.
-iTunes will not open up many times also. This error message says "The iTunes application could not be opened. An unknown error occured (13014)."
-If I try to throw something in the trash, an error message pops up saying "An unexpected error occured (-50)." This message also shows up if I try to create a folder.
-Safari will open up with a random page that was viewed earlier, but not the latest page viewed. For example, if i read a couple articles on yahoo, then watch a couple videos on youtube, then go on facebook, and then quit safari, if I open up safari again, one of the yahoo articles will pop up. I disabled that setting that opens up the last viewed page but its not the last viewed page that opens up anyways so thats not problem. Also when I open safari, it wont remember any changes that occured like new bookmarks or any of the history that occured after the site that pops up. Going back to the previous example, when it opens back up on one of the yahoo articles, it wont have the history of the youtube videos or facebook pages that were opened after the yahoo articles.
-Google Chrome will open but it wont go to any websites or anything, just a blank screen.
-When firefox and chrome arent working, safari will open up any page except Apple Help pages. Its as if this problem is keeping me from trying to fix it.
-When 1 of these problems occur, all the others occur. If none of the problems are occuring, the others arent either so I believe the problems all come from one source. Possibly a virus?
I have found online some solutions such as restarting the computer and holding control+command+P+R. This did not work. I brought it into the Genius Bar at my local Apple Store and this is the first time ever I have been dissatisfied with my visit. The guy just told me a possible fix and was done with me in 5 minutes. It would have been more helpful if he actually did the fix and see if it worked. Anyways, he told me to restart and hold Command+R. I had all my music and pictures on a flash drive so I was fine with clearing out everything. So when I did this sunday night, I cleared the hard drive and reinstalled Lion. I was surprised that it actually worked like normal that night. It worked perfectly fine this morning also but when I came back to use it again around 5:00pm, the same problems occured. I will probably end up bringing this back to the Apple Store and I hope this time they take it in and try to fix it. If anybody has any resolution at all, please help. Thank you.

With the Finder active, press the following key combinations, in this order:
Shift-Command-H
Command-3
Command-I
The Info window for your home folder will open. Click the lock icon to authenticate. In the Sharing & Permissions section, you should have read & write access. If not, make it so. Select "Apply to enclosed items" from the action (gear icon) menu.

Msi KT3 MoBo / MSI geForce4 TI 4200 Problem

Hello, hopefully someone can help me. I am having a rather unusual problem. Least I think it is. I have a MSI kt3 ultra2 motherboard, 512 meg ddr 2100 crucial ram. AMD XP 2000+ CPU and an MSI Geforce4 TI4200 video card. First of all, what agp settings should i use? 4x? 2x?. Secondly, should i enable agp fast writes? And last, what are the other 2 settings in the agp setup in the bios which are like 1/2 or 2/3?
I also ran mad onions 3d mark 2001 SE and got a score of 4898! This seems a little low to me. Comparing online, I should be getting scores rannging from 9000 to 13000. I have installed Nvidia Detonator drivers but they are the latest beta drivers. Are these bad drivers? None of my games ever freeze except for Soldier of Fortune 2. It slows way down and when i ctrl+alt+del, it says i am using 100% cpu usage. Can anyone help me? I just want my system i bought a week ago to run at its full potential and have nowhere else to turn.

I am using Windows XP Pro. I am running the 3d Mark 2001 SE with a 1024 resolution and no AA. I am also using a 32bpp color depth. The defaults when you load the program up for the first time basically. I never did get a patch for SOF II although I should have. Man do I fell like such a n00b.
Hey Jamie B, you said i should "disable support for advanced cpu controls is NOT checked". Where is that at?
Thanks to all who have replied. :D I appreciate it.

GeForce4 Ti4400 + AMD = trouble

Running with the following components:
Tyan Trinity KT-A motherboard rev B (BIOS v1.10)
AMD Athlon XP 1800+ CPU (Retail package)
1024MB PC133 RAM (1x 512MB, 2x 256MB)
560watt power supply
nVidia GeForce 4 Ti4400 (MSI corporation)
nVidia TNT 2 Ultra (Creative Labs corp)
Sound Blaster Live! Platinum
Roland Sound Canvas SCC-1
D-Link 530TX+ (Network card)
Generic PCI 56K modem
Windows 98 (Second Edition)
Generic 3.5" 1.44MB Floppy
Western Digital Caviar 33100 (3.1GB)
Maxtor 16GB HD
Lite-On 48x CD-ROM
This is a newly assembeled system. With the GeForce 4 card installed, the system freezes before Win 98 finishes booting. According to the bootlog.txt file,
the freeze happens after loading RMM.PDR and BIGMEM.VXD....
I thought maybe the files were corrupted, so I extracted
new copies from the Win 98 CAB files, but to no avail.
I tried many different versions of the GeForce 4 drivers, but also to no avail..the system always froze in the same place....
Just as a test, I replaced the GeForce 4 card with an older TNT 2 Ultra card...Sure enough, the system booted up the Win 98 log-in screen.
Unfortunately, at the Win 98 log-in screen, I see the message that the Sound Blaster Live! card cannot load it's MIDI files, so MIDI playback is disabled.....I then see a "blue screen error" that says the "system memory" is running low, and that Norton Anti-Virus Auto-Protect might not function properly.....
The system is running pretty slow, so when I check the "Windows 98 Performance settings", it says that the Hard Drives (and Floppy Drive) are running in "Compatibility Mode", but with 81% system resources free.
I thought maybe the VIA chip-set divers needed to be updated, so I tried 4 different versions, all having no effect...Also, in the main system information screen, while the correct CPU is displayed (Athlon XP 1800+),
the RAM count only says 1013MB... It becomes more strange because when in "Safe Mode", the RAM count accurately shows 1024MB.
So far, I've tried:
   New and older drivers for GeForce 4 card
   New and older drivers for TNT2 ultra card
   New and older drivers for SB Live card
   New and older drivers for VIA Chipset
I am at a total loss on what to do, so if you could offer any advice or suggestions, I'd be greatful. Do you think replacing Windows 98 with XP could help?
Thank you,
Andrew B.

Woo, finally got Win XP installed, and my GeForce 4 Ti4400 runs GREAT. Also put that extra 512MB back in.
The only problem I'm having now is that any sound coming out of my SB Live (be it, CD Audio, MP3, or something thru the Line-In), starts to get really choppy whenever an IDE device is being accessed (i.e. CD-ROM, hard drive). When the device is not being accessed, the audio is crystal clear. (Never had this problem with Win 98se)
The SB Live card is the only device sitting on IRQ 5, so it's not conflicting with any thing. I've put that card in 4 different PCI slots, but it didn't help.
Any suggestions?
Here's what I've tried so far (following Knowledge Base articles from Creative Labs), all with no improvements:
Disabled unused devices (Serial Ports, USB Ports, Parallel Port, Floppy Drive Controller).
Switched hard drive controller into PIO-Mode only.
Tried 15-16MB memory hole (in BIOS).
Tried lowering EAX reverb.
Lowered both Sound and Graphic acceleration (even lowered to ZERO)
Tried Win XP in both ACPI and non-ACPI modes
Updated VIA drivers to latest version
Udated GeForce 4 drivers
Updated SB Live drivers
Moved SB Live card to 4 different PCI slots
Slowed down AGP slot from 4x to 2x
Installed all of the latest patches/fixes for Win XP.
Nothing has worked yet

Recently I am having various problems on various pages.

In the last few weeks, I have noticed some odd problems. Some of them are.
On Google, or any other page where I do a search for images, or there are numerous images, the firts few load fine, but most don't load at all. For instance... If I do an image search on Google, the thumbnails for the first 50 or so show fine. Then there are rows of image placeholders with only an occaisonal image displayed. I have tried in other browsers, and both Chrome and IE have no such problems.
Also.
On some sites that require Adobe Flash Player to be installed, I get a window saying I have to download and install it, even though I already have the latest version installed. I have tried uninstalling it and then reinstalling it, but it hasn't fixed the problem.
And on a lot of pages, I am noticing formatting errors when they display.
I also have major issues installing web apps. Lke the Automatic Troubleshooter here, it will not install. I can click the button, but nothign happens.
I have tried doing a complete reinstall of Firefox, as well as all of the various Adibe players, Java, and MS Silverlight. But the problems are only getting worse. And I have already disabled all but the most important plug ins and extensions.
Any help is appreciated.

'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
* On Windows you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* On Mac you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
* On Linux you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by quitting Firefox and then going to your Terminal and running: firefox -safe-mode (you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
* Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.

''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''

'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.

Updated to Windows 7 - various problems

I've searched and searched for answers to my questions to no avail so I'm asking yall. Recently, I was updated to Windows 7 Professional (service pack 1) and have had various and sundry problems with Adobe acrobat products and with creating/viewing forms in Livecycle.
Cutting to the chase: I have Acrobat Pro 9. If I purchase the newest version of Pro (and Livecycle) will problems be fixed, or is debugging still in progress?
Thanks!

Hi,
The first four lines are not an issue. These always appear as Acrobat is loading.
At the bottom of the console window is a trash can. Clicking this will clear the console. If no more errors are showing up, then I am stumped.
Is the problem happening with one form OR every form. If it is one form, then it is likely to be a problem with that form. If it is happening in every form then it may be an issue with the LC Designer install.
I don't think the following is the issue, but it may be worth having a look:

GF4 ti4400, boot problems

hello,
I have had my GF4 ti4400 running for a while now ( 7 months ), just a moment ago my machine reset and the gfx card would not boot.
After pulling it out of the socket and replacing it I managed to get it to boot, but it displays random white/gray/black lines vertically down the screen even when entering the bios etc..
I have reset the bios on the mobo ... still it is not working properly.
The problem also occured occasionally on boots, but this had not happened for a while, it normally worked on the second boot anyways.
I tried the gfx card in another machine (asus a7v266-e + xp1700) and it is working fine on every boot etc.
I have tried resetting the bios on the current motherboard, it is still not working :-/
Strange that it would just fail like this!
Any ideas and suggestions would be appreciated :-)
cheers

Thanks for the fast reply Deathstalker,
It turns out it was my PSU playing up!
I took out my enermax 350W and plugged in a chieftec 360W psu, all is now fine!!!!
I guess the enermax has a dodgy voltage output on a line the gfx card uses. I have also tried the enermax with no load on it, just the motherboard, & it still doesnt work.
time to put the water block back on! all that for a psu
pffft :-D best get a new one now :-/
Thought I would include some pics for future reference to the problem...

Various problem with Powerbook

My boss just bought a Powerbook over the weekend and now he has taken it back. He bought it because of all the problems he was having with his PCs. Felt the Mac was supposed to be bulletproof.
Tried to run ITunes and it took awhile to start the problem (on the PC it comes right up).
The first song he played ran for about 15 seconds and then he got the spinning wheel that wouldn't stop (I have similar problems on my G4 periodically when using browser).
He said he could barely touch the bottom of the machine it was so hot.
He also got various information at the apple store which he found out later was incorrect. For example, he was told you didn't have to partition the drive to use Vista on it - later he was told he did have to partition it.
I happen to like the Mac myself and have always had one but it is difficult to promote when this is happening.
Tom

First of all, we'd have to know a little about the hardware you have.
• How much RAM do you have? You can find out by clicking on the Apple icon at the top left of your screen. If for some odd reason, it's under 512MB, you need to get some more. OS X isn't anywhere near the memory hog like Vista, but when you try and work cover flow, it eats up quite a bit of memory.
• Why speed processor do you have? Hopefully it's a faster one. A check in the same place will tell you this. It would also be good to check on how much video memory (VRAM) your machine has. This can be found under the "System Profiler" app. which can be launched via the "More Info" button of the "About This Mac" window. More here means faster responses to iTunes stuff.
• How much free space do you have left on your HD? To find out, select the HD icon on your desktop, and either type "Command-I" or Select File->Get Info from the pull down menus. If you have 1GB or less and you're not running anything else, you might notice some slowness in your system's responsiveness, especially when you're multi-tasking.
• What kind of file are you trying to get iTunes to launch? A video file? A music file? What format? At what bit-rate? If you were trying to watch a video in iTunes that was very compressed and a high bit-rate, then it might get choppy. Type "Command-J" while in iTunes, and check things like "Bit Rate" and "Kind" from the selection boxes to get this info to appear.
• Now here's the big Q: Is there anything else running when you try to do your afore mention operation? There are a couple ways to check this: Launch the "Activity Monitor" (Mac HD -> Applications -> Utilities -> Activity Monitor) and see what is eating up all of your memory or processing power.
Or, if you want to have easy access to stats like these, but with less clutter and CPU usage, look at this widget here: http://www.apple.com/downloads/dashboard/status/istatpro.html
I've always found it quite useful, and it'll keep running taps on most of the previous questions so far.
Perhaps you have background programs running that are eating up your power. It could be that some of these launch upon login. Look at System Preferences->Accounts->Login Items, and delete some of the programs/processes that start at login. If your system runs a lot of programs, chances are that a few of them want priority when you login. If you just want something to stop that's in your way, check out the "Force Quit" window. Any programs that aren't responding will be highlighted in red and you might want to consider stopping them.
You shouldn't stop any processes that are necessary to the system running, but that's rarely a worry since OS X doesn't let you do that easily (or without adim. privileges).
Finally, and this amy be the big one, the system is automatically set to do weekly cleanup. I don't know what yours is set at, but once in a while, usually around 3 am, the system runs what are called cron scripts and fixes permissions, journals, etc. I personally run a little app. called "Cocktail:"
http://www.maintain.se/cocktail/index.php
If my system starts lagging after I've run it through the gamut of work that I do, a little clean-up now and then picks it up nicely. "Emptying caches" is another great performance-fixer. Apps. like Safari can hog a bunch of memory when you're doing intensive tasks, so if you go to Safari->Clear Cache, you might fine a little boost there after you've been surfing a lot.
Macs have a lot of buffers built into them to try and keep the system from crashing. This give you peace of mind while multi-tasking, but when problems surface, it's easy enough to try and figure out the cause. I don't know what your friend plans on doing with his/her new Mac, but when you do a lot of work that drains the system, these little tips can help even basic users squeeze the last ounce out of their machines power. The big things to try and have are enough free disk space on your HD, and plenty of RAM.
www.Newegg.com is also a good place to get cheap workable RAM. I remember getting 2 1GB DIMMS (max out the system) for less than $250 for my PB, and that was almost 2 years ago. After you've tried all of the simple maintenance avenues to boost performance, you can always try for more memory. Good luck!

Various problems installing 10g Release 1 (10.1.0.2.0) for Windows

I have been trying in vain for quite a while now to install the above mentioned release. I opted to copy all the required installation files from the CD to a location on my HDD. My issues are as follows:
According to the documentation I started the 'Autorun' but did not get the option 'Install/Deinstall Products.' I had just one option which was to simply 'Start the Installation' which I selected. Following this, nothing happened. There was absolutely no activity thereafter.
Next I launched 'setup.exe' from the 'Install' directory which seemed to start things off. After selecting options like installation location and type of installation I get an error message to say that 'Exception generated when IP address of host cannot be determined.' I have no choice but to Ignore and continue since 'Retrying' doesn't solve the issue and annulling the operation stops the installation completely as it should.
This message appears again after selecting the kind of database I choose to install in the next step and again just before the actual installation begins, after all the options are selected.
The next error message I get is 'Error when starting service OracleCSService.' Again I have no choice but to Ignore and continue.
Finally at the end of this exercise I cannot use this installation. My final target is to use the default database created through Informatica, an ETL which never can manage to log into this database.
Are the error messages cited above common? What can be the possible solutions?
Regards

The 'autorun' not starting the setup.exe is a pretty well known problem. Your workaround to using the install\setup.exe is correct.
The "Exception generated when IP address of host cannot be determined" comes from not having a properly configured network subsystem. Perhaps you are using DHCP to get the IP address. However, Oracle is desiged to work in a server environment and the key difference between a server and a workstation/desktop/laptop/client is that a server has a well known static location (hostname and IP address) where all the clients can find it.
To get around this second problem may be as simple as setting up the Microsoft Loopback adapter. You should find more than a few references to that using a forum (or Google) search.
Your troubleshooting approach of 'ignore until everything fails' is perhaps not the ideal approach in Oracle. It takes a lot longer, but I'd recommend you stop to investigate each of the problems. Many are resolved through the documentation, however many are also well documented in these forums and on various web sites. Google is indeed your friend.

ICal: various problems

Hello!
I already twice updated my system (lion/mountain lion) hoping for better performance in iCal - without real success.
I am using Googles Calendars, the aim is to synchronize between android phone and macbook pro 13".
I often have the following problems, that espiaccially in an calendar app are really annoying:
-cannot syncronize: the spinning wheel lasts forever, evetually a message pops up.
-deleted entries/double entries: it occured, that some entries showed twice in ical. when i deleted one of them, both were gone in google calendar (without a way to restore them)
-cannot access settings: ical hangs when i press cmd, - i cannot change any settings.
-calendars of friends show notifications in activity center: how can i disable alerts (new in mountain lion) for calendars that are not mine but somebody elses?
these are my main problems that make it really hard for my to use iCal in a productive way, since you always have the feeling: do i have everything? did the system delete something? did it synchronize? and so on. am i making a mistake? do i have to switch to iCloud? (but what about android phone then?)
or could little snitch be the problem?
thank you!

Hello and thank you!

Various problems when trying to use both my iPhone 4 and iPhone 5 at the same time? HELP!

I am experiencing a wide range of problems with both of my iPhones. They are both a 4 and a 5. I will list the problems I am having.
Using both phones:
A few weeks ago I recieved a new phone, the iPhone 5 as my contract was renewed. I backed-up my old phone, the iPhone 4 to my computer and restored it onto my 5. But when using my 5, I discovered it has 'no service' (but will use wifi), it won't send IMs OR texts and Apple constantly keeps asking me for my Apple ID which i recently changed but still uses the old email, and won't accept any passwords.
The 5 used to send IMs and texts but they would be sent to my friends through my email address, so I googled this and went to messages>send and recieve, and the only thing i can select is my email, not my number. I am using the 4 as well, purely so I can send texts and IMs through my name, not my email. The 4 also has signal and wifi, whereas the 5 only has wifi. I am wondering if the 5 has no signal and won't send IMs & texts because I am still using another phone? Surely they both cannot work together, so I was thinking I could reset my iPhone 4, and then see if the iPhone 5 will work, once the second phone isn't used anymore. If that doesn't work, I thought I could reset my 4, back-up my 5 and then restore again. I think that will work, but I have no idea.
I have absolutely had it with trying to figure it out, I have used google but nothing seems to work. I am really hoping someone can tell me what to do with all my phone problems, because they are absolutely driving me mad!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I need to use the 5, it is costing me an extra £60 a month to use and I feel as though that money is being wasted as I can't text, IM or call people. Should i just get rid of the 4 and see what happens? I read online that to stop iMessages coming through as your email, you should turn it off and use regular texts. BUT I DO NOT WANT TO DO THIS. I send way too many texts, and it would cost a fortune. I also can't send photo messages on texts, because they cost a bomb to send through. I want to be able to use both texts and iMessages - using my name, not my email.
To add on to that huge essay I have written, on both phones Apple CONSTANTLY asks me for my Apple ID which I recently changed. I changed the email and the password, and it is coming up with the wrong email, and whatever password I put in, it still says it is wrong. It doesn't make sense, because yesterday I purchased some music from iTunes and when asked for my Apple ID, it used the right email and accepted the correct password. ...??? yet it still keeps getting it wrong, even though it worked in iTunes. ??!?
Okay so I just reset my iPhone 4, and nothing seems to have changed...I thought if I reset it, it would be completely wiped, like a brand new iPhone 4, but it's not....THIS IS SO IRRITATING! Can someone please help me! I GREATLY appreciate any answers, hopefully someone on the internet can fix my problem! thank you for taking the time to read this essay, I am very thankful. PS. Both phones are up to date.

You said, "the 4 also has signal and wifi whereas the 5 has only wifi". By "signal", I'm assuing that you mean cellular signal. If so, that means your iPhone 4 is still active on your cellular number and your iPhone 5 is not. Contact your carrier to sort out which phone is active on your account.
