How do I stop my iPhone 3 from tethering? Everything I read says to go to Settings General Network but the Internet Tethering is always searching. I've been advised to wait but it's going on 2 hours so I think I've met my "waiting" quota. HELP!!

Same with Bluetooth, as long as you're looking at the screen, it will be searching. As soon as you exit the screen it stops, so quit looking at that screen. You know your refrigerator light? You open the door and it's on...trust me, close the door & the light goes off .

How can I stop my iphone 4s from asking for my icloud, yahoo and other passwords all the time?

How can I stop my iphone 4s from asking for my icloud, yahoo and other passwords all the time?

As long as you share that AppleID for iCloud, you cannot. You are sharing a a single iCloud account and sync services. The only thing you can do is get a second AppleID and use it with iCloud - you do not have to use that new AppleID for anything but iCloud (ie. you can still share an AppleID for iTunes and App store purchases).
P.S. I am assuming you both want to sync your contacts with iCloud?

How do I stop my iphone 5c from restoring my camera roll every time I delete and unwanted photo?

If you're syncing, you have to unselect the photos you no longer wish to sync, and they won't show up on your phone anymore.

The iPhone has a proximity sensor located on the top of the phone near the earphone speaker that is supposed to automatically turn off the screen when it is close to your face while on a call, to prevent that very thing from happening. If your phone isn't doing that, try cleaning your screen. Also, if you put a screen protector on your phone made for a different model it may lack the cut-out that is supposed to keep it from blocking the sensor. Try removing your screen protector to see if that helps. If it does, get another screen protector.

How do I stop iTunes (10.7) from automatically launching upon restart? "Open at Login" is NOT checked in the dock and I have removed the app from Login Items under Users/Groups. I am using a MacBook version 10.7.5. Thank you!

Thanks for the response gakker, but I've double-checked the camera / iPhoto / Image Capture scenario, and I'm 100% positive it's got nothing to do with that.
Plugging in my iPhone has no effect on anything related to this.
The other thing I should have mentioned is that when iTunes on my Mac is NOT running, then nothing happens on my iPhone screen when I plug it in to my Mac. I only get the "Sync in progress" message when iTunes IS running.
It's interesting though that you say you also get this "Sync in progress" message, albeit only for a second or two though.
Can I just double-check something with you however... When you say:
+"at no time was my iTunes playback interrupted"+
do you mean the iTunes on your Mac? Because the problem I have is that the iPod-playback on my iPhone is interrupted.
So can you clarify that for me, please? If you have music playing on your iPhone, and you then plug your iPhone into your Mac when iTunes is running on your Mac, does the music playback on the iPhone get interrupted?

How do i stop my iPhone iTunes from Shuffling songs?

I cannot figure out how to stop my iPhone Music/iTunes from shuffling songs but instead to play them in order.

In the Music app, tap the screen to bring up an extra menu bar showing the current song's timeline. In the lower right is a pair of crossed arrows -- when enabled (blue), shuffle is on, tap it to turn shuffle off (gray).
Edited to add: That's when you've got the album cover image up, if you're on the track listing, tap the upper-right corner to bring it back to cover art view. The other two indicators/buttons on the bottom of the same bar are "repeat" (bottom left) to repeat the current track or playlist (two options), and "genius" (bottom center) to generate playlists of songs similar to the one currently playing.

How do I stop my iPhone 4 from restarting every 30 sec.?

I get the Apple icon, it opens the password screen, but does not respond to the keys being tapped, then it restarts- rinse and repeat about 45 min. so far. It's plugged in, otherwise the battery would be dead by now.
I did a manual restart, same results.
It's neither jailbroken or running iOS6, btw.
Now what?
Let the battery run completely down to stop whatever craziness has possessed the poor thing? It knows I've been looking at the iPhone 5- I swear my digital companions freak out every time I think about upgrading...
Any help appreciated...

How do I stop my iphone 5 from trying to restore? I cannot access my phone.

I tried to update my phone to the latest software. However it says I now have to restore my phone but I do not want to lose my messages and pictures. Do you know how I can stop my phone from restoring? I cannot access my phone at this point because of it.

Are you just tapping on Reply, or Reply to all? Is this a regular email account or an Exchange account? Is it possible the identification of your email address in your mail account settings differs from what people are sending to, a possible typo?

How do I stop my iPhone 4 from duplicating recurring events?

Recently, my iPhone 4 started duplicating all my recurring calendar events (though they only show up in my Outlook as a single event on a particular day, they show up twice on a particular day on my iPhone calendar . . . one has a purple dot next to it, the other has an orange dot). I sync with Outlook 2007, and don't use MobileMe, iCal or any other Mac utilities to sync with my phone. I can't seem to find anything that resolves this issue for someone who simply syncs with MS exchange server. Please help. It's very annoying. (FYI: I do NOT have "Sync Contacts," "Sync Calendars" or "Sync Mail Accounts" checked under the info tab of my device in iTunes)

How can I stop my iPhone 5 from starting the music player randomly on its own?

I have an iPhone 5 running the latest version of iOS. Sometime last year (maybe shortly after I originally upgraded to iOS 7), the phone developed a nasty habit of starting up the music player during phone conversations when I connected to my Mazda's Bluetooth system. Oddly enough, I can hear the music playing over the phone conversation but the person on the other end of the phone line can't. To stop the music, I have to open the Music App and then close the App. Note that the Music App did NOT have to be previously open for the music to start, and the Music App doesn't usually show as an open App even after the music starts on its own. The problem has persisted through the last few iOS updates and it now happens in a broader range of circumstances (e.g., I have told the iPhone to forget the Mazda adapter, and it now does the same thing with my Plantronics Voyager Bluetooth headset). I usually have to go through this sequence at least twice per Bluetooth pairing session before the phone stops trying to start the music player on its own during phone calls.
The problem went away temporarily when I did a full reset of the phone, but it came back after a few days (even when I added apps & music back without restoring from an iOS backup).
Has anyone found a way to fix this problem once and for all? If I can find a fix, it's enough of an annoyance that it might convince me to go Android with my next phone. Thanks in advance...

I've tried syncing with itunes and icloud. The missing contacts are nowhere to be found. I just re-enter them on my iphone and proceed on my not so merry way. Next time I look for a contact, it might be there or it might not. It is not necessarily the same contact. It appears that my oldest contacts seem to be the ones disappearing

How to i stop my iphone screen from jumping everywhere?!

i have a iphone 5c and i dropped in water maybe 6 moths ago and ive had it for a year and a half. for maybe a month my phone has been glitching really bad.
ill unlock my phone and try to go to my text messages or something but my screen will go to the app store or settings or safari. if i am typing i wont be able to use the keys 'u' 'n' 'h' '!' or '7' but sometimes it will type "uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu" until i lock my phone for it to stop. the only way i can stop all of the glitching is if i lock my phone and unlock it. i had ios 8.0.2 so i was waiting for an update hoping it would cure it. ios 8.3 came out today it was fine for maybe an hour and 30 minutes and the problems soon returned. maybe some of the phones cant handle the new updates because there are more people having my same problem. so anyone pleaseeeeeee heeeeeelllllllpppppppppp me!!! youd be my hero =)!
p.s. ive tried the soft rest,the hard reset, the factory rest, forced reboot, recovery mode, ive reset my phone as a brand new iphone so im sure this is a software problem and there arent any apple stores in alabama :/

How can I stop my iphone 5 from asking for Apple ID Password constantly?

I've had this problem ongoing for awhile now and it's starting to drive me nuts.
A few months back I was using an app where you could purchase in-game points which would come through your apple ID. I purchased the points and they never arrived, but it's like my phone is constantly now trying to buy the points over and over. Randomly even when the app is closed I'll be asked for my Apple ID password, even if the app is deleted from my phone. If I enter my password it'll go away for a little while and then try again later. So I figure it is just continually trying to make the purchase and fails each time.
I've contacted the support for the app and they never reply to any support email questions, I've looked around online and similar problems seem to be fixed by people looking at pending downloads sitting in itunes on their PC, but there is nothing pending at all. I've changed my Apple ID password. I've made sure it was synced with my phone, I've cleared it from my phone and re set it up again ... nothing seems to work.I even reset my phone entirely and it continues to ask .. it's like the problem is linked more with my apple ID rather than the phone itself. But I'm out of ideas of how to stop it.
Any suggestions? It's incredibly frustrating!

How can I stop my iPhone 4 from freezing and turning off by itself?

3 days ago, my phone started freezing very often. I would hold the sleep and home button for 6 seconds to restart it. After a while, it started turning off and on by itself. Just last night it had this lit up black screen. It was totally upresponsive and my iPhone did not show up in iTunes. I let the batter run out and than I charged it. It was fine for a couple of hours and than it started turning of and on by itself. It worsened to the point where right away when my iPhone 4 turned on, it turned off. Now it has a blue screen. Pressing the home and sleep button doesn't hel. It doesn't show up in iTunes either. Should I wait for it to run out of battery like last time? What can I do in the future to prevent my phone from freezing and turning off. Will upgrading it to the newest operating system help? This phone is nearly a year and a half old. Please help.
