HT1414 My iPhone 4 has recently started shutting off overnight. I have to power it back up each morning to use it again thus preventing me from being able to use the basic alarm clock feature.

How do I correct this recent issue where my iPhone 4 powers down overnight? It started shutting down as if I turned off the phone. It began around three or four weeks ago in December 2013. Is anyone else experiencing the same issue? I bought my iPhone 4 in January 2010 and use Verizon cellular service.

At first I suspected a bad connection with a Sharper Image charging dock. But I find that it shuts off overnight even when I don't charge it. I can have it charged up at night, not go to use it until the next morning and have to hit the Home key either with a quick double-click or long hold down on Home key until the Aplle logo appears, in order to be able to use the phone again. I have not resorted to wiping the iPhone to full restore yet.

  • My iphone has recently loss about 10G of memmory. I check through settings/general/usage, all apps I had add up to less than 2G. I used to be able to take around 2hrs of video and now I can't take any. Can anyone help? Thanks

    My iphone has recently loss about 10G of memmory. I check through settings/general/usage, all apps I had add up to less than 2G. I used to be able to take around 2hrs of video as I like to record down whatever happening in front of my car when I'm driving. I delete the videos everyday ifn nothing special. It seems that lately when I deleted the videos, they're not removed from the phone's memmory.
    I check form setting/general/usage : all my apps add up to less than 2G. In itune, it shows all memmary is under the catagory "other". Is there any way I can access this "other" memmory to see what's in it and delete the things I don't want to regain the loss memmory?
    Thanks

    You could always try restoring, although maybe someone else on here has a better idea.
    Hopefully by posting this, it will bump up and someone with more iPhone troubleshooting experience might chime in.
    As for the videos - interesting! Do you have the iPhone on one of those window holders, or do you hold it in your hand since that might ironically distract you, unless you've gotten very good at it!

  • My MacBook is hung up on "safe boot mood" and shuts off. I have tried everything on this site to fix and no go. Will not boot from external start up disc either. Any help, please.

    I also just installed 10.6.3 Leopard.

    Hey Don, did you try to shut down the MBP (if necessary by forcing it to, done by keeping the power button pressed for more than 5 seconds) and then restarting while keeping the Command-button pressed to bring up the available boot disks, then select the install CD?
    Maybe it lost power during installation and thus the HDD is shot. Did you back up before doing the new install? Do you have a second Mac you can connect the MBP via Firewire to, which means you could try target disc mode (press T and keep it pressed during startup)?

  • HT1430 my iphone 4s will not shut off. I've tried everyone suggestions but when it looks like it shuts off in a few seconds it comes back on. I've tried every combination of the sleep/wake button and the home button. Nothing works.

    My iphone 4s will not shut off. I have tried every combination of sleep/wake and home (round) buttons with no success. Don't know what else to try. (Try telling that to the airline stuardess).

    The Basic Troubleshooting Steps are:
    Restart... Reset... Restore from Backup...  Restore as New...
    Restart / Reset

    Backing up, Updating and Restoring
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414
    If you try all these steps and you still have issues... Then a Visit to an Apple Store or AASP (Authorized Apple Service Provider) is the Next Step...

  • My iPhone has recently been crashing (or rather the apps) when I would try to access my text messages, contacts, phonebook, facebook, or email. I tried restarting my phone and lost all of my contacts. Anyone know what's wrong/how to fix it

    My iPhone has recently been crashing (or rather the apps) when I would try to access my text messages, contacts, phonebook, facebook, or email. I tried restarting my phone and lost all of my contacts. This has been happening more and more frequently. Today I was in my pictures and was trying to crop one and my phone shut off completely. Anyone know what's wrong with it or how to fix it?

    Make sure all apps are fully closed:
    - double tap your home button
    - hold your finger on an app
    - when the apps start to wiggle press the red "-" button on all the apps
    Now do a hard reset:
    - hold the home button and the sleeps/wake button down at the same time
    - the phone will shut off then when the apple logo ppears release both buttons
    If by then your contacts have not been restored you would need to try and retreive them from a back up on itunes/icloud that was made when the contacts were on the phone. You could even stream them from the cloud if they were synced to the cloud. The link beow will show you how to restore from an itunes/icloud back up:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766
    Also to prevent this issue which i have seen alot when users are still running iOS 5 it would be best to update the iOS on your phone. To do this follow the link below:

    Hope this helps

  • My iPhone has just started getting the time wrong

    My iPhone has just started getting the time wrong. Whether I have 'set automatically' on or off, it still sets the clock and hour ahead of the real time. If I reset it correctly, within 10m it has incorrectly reset it. It is amazingly frustrating!

    Hello justveils,
    It sounds like you are not able to erase just one letter when backspacing.  I recommend following steps in the tutorial below to address an issue like this (you can skip step 2 "Recharge iPhone" because it's not related to this issue).  I think the step to reset your iPhone my be particularly useful in this scenario:
    To reset iPhone, press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least 10 seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    You can find the full tutorial here:

  • Hey, constantly since I installed the iOS 7.1 upgrade, my iPhone has been constantly shutting down and I think it's really frustrating and I whant to know how I can stop my iPhone from shutting down so I can downgrade to iOS 7.0.4?

    Hey, constantly since I installed the iOS 7.1 upgrade, my iPhone has been constantly shutting down and I think it's really frustrating and I whant to know how I can stop my iPhone from shutting down so I can downgrade to iOS 7.0.4?

    7.1.1 is certainly compatible with the iPhone 4. Just try a reset first.
    Close all open apps by double-tapping the home button, then swiping up and off the screen with the app window (not the smaller icon).
    Reset your device: hold down the home button along with the sleep/wake button until the screen goes black and you see the Apple, then let go. (No data loss)

  • My iPhone has suddenly started sending texts from email address. Any ideas on how to fix?

    Hi my iPhone has just started sending texts from email account. This only happens when the text is sent to other iPhone users. Weirdly it jumps between normal text address and back to email. Any ideas?

    When I turn iMessage off, it sends from my phone number.  When I turn it back on and check the caller ID, it has my phone number checked, however, when I start texting again, people are still receiving the messages from my email.  Any advice?

  • Iphone 4s shuts off around 56% and can't turn back on for a few min.

    Hi jennifer cash,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.  If your iPhone is powering off unexpectedly, I would recommend a section of this article:
    iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2802
    Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
    Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
    Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion. Learn about LCIsand corrosion.
    Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
    After at least 30 minutes, if:
    The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen . Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
    The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
    Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
    If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.
    If the display turns on, go to step 4.
    If the display remains black, go to next step.
    Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
    If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.
    Cheers,

  • My mid 2010 Mac running yosemite lock has recently started to lock up when I do a swipe on the magic mouse to scroll a web page

    My mid 2010 Mac running yosemite has recently started to lock up when I do a swipe on the magic mouse to scroll a web page. Anybody having a similar experience?  I believe I've taken the last update to Yosemite within the last several weeks but this behavior did not start in concurrence with any system maintenance events.

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    Step 1
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
    Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
    While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this behavior; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
    Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
    After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
    *Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
    Step 2
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
    Please take this step regardless of the results of Step 1.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled in OS X 10.9 or earlier, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
    After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of Steps 1 and 2.

  • Alarm clock feature

    I use Pandora for my morning alarm clock and honestly, I listen to Spotify more. I kinda keep Pandora around for the Alarm clock. I think it would be a great idea to bring to Spotify (at least the app) an Alarm clock feature to extend my music variety and playlist in the morning.

    I just checked and the native clock app only can play sounds selected from a list. Have you checked the App Store for what you want?
