why is my phone so slow, it has never been this slow and it constantly rests it's self ??

Hello, mackenzienesbitt. 
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities. 
Here are a couple resources that have some helpful troubleshooting steps for this issue. 
Resolution
If a single application is not responding or stops responding when it opens, you can force it to close.
If the device is unresponsive or if certain controls aren't working as expected, restart your device.
If the device remains unresponsive or does not turn on (or power on), reset your device.
If there is no video or if the screen remains black, verify that the device has enough charge to turn on:
If you are using an iPad, ensure that it's connected to the USB Power Adapter supplied with the device.
Let it charge for at least twenty minutes, then see if it starts normally.
If there is no image on the screen, press the Sleep/Wake button to attempt to wake the device.
If the screen displays a red battery icon, continue charging the device until the battery is fully charged. Learn more about charging iPhone and iPod touch, or iPad.
If the above steps do not resolve the issue, or the if the screen remains black or shows a persistent Apple logo, try restoring with iTunes:
Connect the device to your computer and open iTunes.
If the device appears in iTunes, select and click Restore on the Summary pane. Learn more aboutrestoring iOS software.
If the device doesn't appear in iTunes, try to force the device into recovery mode, and then restore it.
If the above steps do not resolve the issue, contact Apple.
iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3281
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.

  • HT1414 My phone powered off on it's own this morning, and will not restart. Any help?

    I replied to a text message this morning, put the phone in my shirt pocket. I went to use it again 2 mins later and it was completely non-responsive. I have tried all the tricks I know to restart it, but no success. I even went to my vehicle and plugged it in, hoping the charge would bring it to life, but still no.
    Is there an answer to turning my phone back on? Have never experienced this issue prior to download of the new OS.

    Hello kylega,
    We've an article that can help bring your iPhone back among the working.

  • Why does my iphone say it has never been backed up

    my iphone says it has never been backed up, or last back incomplete or back up failed, yet my icloud will say it has been backed up. why is this happening?

    Did you ever get an answer to this?  My phone started saying this over six months ago..it says it has never been backed up and icloud doesn't have enough storage.  I don't even have ANY music and only about 100 pictures.  I sync it to my computer all the time and when I do it says it's completely up to date.

  • HT1766 My iPhone and my computer both tell me I have never backed up my iPhone to iCloud, when I have numerous times.  I get this message:  Your Phone has never been backed up to iCloud.  Today at 3:11pm. Even after I run 'backup now'

    I have recently been experiencing problems with my iPhone and iCloud backup.  My iPhone tells me I have not backed it up to iCloud in over 4 weeks, when in actually it was 2 days ago.  So I plug my phone into my laptop and click - 'Back up to iCloud'. It runs and when complete, it tells me 'Your iPhone has never been backed up to iCloud.'  Even I after I have just completed the function. 
    Can someone help shed light on what the problem is?

    To backup to iCloud, you actually backup on your phone, not your computer. To backup to iCloud, you MUST be connected to wifi. While on wifi, go to Settings> iCloud (sign into iCloud if you haven't yet)> Sorage & Backup> Backup Now. You get 5GB of complimentary iCloud storage. For most people, that's enough. iCloud backup stores app data (game progress, login, etc), contacts, calendars, notes, and photos. The apps themselves and your music can be retrieved in the iTunes and app stores for free again by going to the purchased area.
    Hope this helps!

  • When I try to turn my iPhone off, it automatically restarts itself. It has never done this before; does anyone know why it might be doing this/how to stop it happening?

    When I try to turn my iPhone off, it automatically restarts itself. It has never done this before; does anyone know why it might be doing this/how to stop it happening?

    This had happened to me today as well. I gave constantly tried resetting it, (I don't particularly want to restore it), but earlier did you find that your headphones went funny? Mine would stop playing music, but the phone would keep going. And if I paused it, and then pressed play, No sound would come out. And if I took the headphones out while it was paused it would play on the device, but as before, not through the headphones. But, I fixed it (temporarily) by pulling the headphones out while it was playing, and plugged them back it. But normally this would pause the music, and it didn't, just continued on the phone, with no sound coming out of the speakers. And it would only last for a couple of minutes and happen again. Then I tried resetting the phone, and it wouldn't turn off. Them I fixed the turn off problem by placing on a dock, and I think this also fixed the headphone problem. But then I took it off and then on the dock, and now it won't play through the dock (but it charges) and it won't turn off, again!
    Also, apples customer serivice is plainly crap. This should be easy to fix. And I shouldnt have to pay a fee to ring them up for service help.

  • How do you search through configured Alternate Extensions to correct error message : The phone number or extension has already been assigned to some other object.

    When configuring a new Unity Voicemail Account I receive this message : The phone number or extension has already been assigned to some other object. I understand that this means that the 10 digit number I am trying to configure as the alternate extension for this user is already configured for another object with Unity.
    I need to search by the 10 digit number and determine where it is configured so I can change it and map to the correct end user.
    I have attempted to to search Users via DTMF Access ID using the 10 digit number with nothing being returned via that search.
    How do I Search all of the copnfigured Alternate Extensions within our Unity Server?

    A subscriber info dump is likely the fastest way.  If you're curious regarding other methods, you can also use the Data Link Explorer (CUDLE) tool which is in the Cisco Unity Tools Depot.  All extensions for all objects are referenced in the "DTMFAccessId" table.  The View menu has a Query Builder which you can use to compile a SQL query that searches for a digit string.  It's best to search for both the 10 digit string as well as an abbreviated string as Unity sees them essentially the same and they are usually should be associated with a single subscriber.  Once you find a match, you can use the "ParentObjectId" value associated with the DTMF access ID to look for a matching owner in the "GlobalSubscriber" table.  The ParentObjectId should match the SubscriberObjectId for a subscriber (assuming the DTMF access ID is assigned to a subscriber).  This is the same thing as looking at SQL; however, you are not directly accessing the DB so this is generally considered the safest way to browse and get a feel for where things are.

  • In Afghanistan - phone has never been jailbroken. Was updating iTunes when message said phone had to be restored. When tried to restore phone goes process then at very end i get error code "-1".

    This is my first iPhone. It's an iPhone 4, purchased the end of June 2012 through Sprint. I deployed to Afghanistan September 1st and have only used the phone for the camera, alarm clock, flashlight, etc. since deploying. I traveled to Germany a few days ago and have WiFi access. As soon as I connected, both my MacBook and iPhone had software updates available. When I attempted to update my iPhone I received a message saying there wasn't enough space available for the update. I removed all music from the phone and successfully installed the update.
    I opened iTunes in order to sync my music back to the phone and recieved a notification that an iTunes update was available for the phone. I downloaded the update. Then I received a notification that the phone would need to be restored before it could be used with iTunes. I clicked "okay" then "restore iTunes". It then went through a series of restoration steps (extracting software, verifying, preparing and restoring iPhone software) before it verifies then shows that it is restoring iPhone firmware. At the very end an error message comes up "The iPhone could not be restore. An unknown error occurred (-1).
    I read about this same error code in this community and all the answers say there is no help because that error code indicates the phone has been jailbroken. My phone has never been jailbroken.
    I have been without my multi-tool since the day I stepped foot in Germany. I will be returning to Afghanistan in a few days and won't be stateside until April or May. Any and all assistance is greatly appreciated!

    Error -1 indicates a hardware issue with the device.
    Read here > http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3694
    The device should still have warranty but unfortunately any service needs to be done in the US.
    Warranty check > https://selfsolve.apple.com/agreementWarrantyDynamic.do
    Is it possible for you to send the device home and have a family member take it to the Apple Store?

    hi, i just tried backing up my iphone on icloud but th option to 'Back Up Now" doesnt work. when i tap on it, nothing happens. Im worried because my iPhone has never been backed up before. Please help

    Reset the phone then try it again: hold down the home button along with the sleep/wake button until you see the apple, then let go.

  • Phone is frozen in  a middle of a call and my top restart button do not work, how can i fix this

    phone is frozen in  a middle of a call and my top restart button do not work, how can i fix it

    Bummer.
    Without having the top button, you couldn't do a hard reset.
    I'd say you might be looking at backing up and restoring through iTunes unfortunatley.

  • How do I recover a deleted text message if the phone has never been backed up/synced

    How do I recover a deleted text message if the phone has never been backed up/synced.  Yes, I know, I know I should be backing up/syncing my phone . . . but that hasn't been yet.  So, can I still find the deleted text message?  If I sync for the first time will it also sync deleted messages?

    Asking exactly the same question a second time will NOT get you a different answer.
    You can not recover that which has been deleted and was never backed up.

  • TS1538 I get the message "unable to sync ipod.  Required folder is missing".  Never saw this before, and I have synced hundreds of times before.  Does anyone know why?

    I get the message "unable to sync ipod.  Required folder is missing".  Never saw this before, and I have synced hundreds of times before.  Does anyone know why?

    Try deleting the iPod Photo Cache folder. There may be more than one such folder. For its location see:

  • HT1766 Why is my phone constantly restarting?

    Why is my phone constantly restarting? Help iPhone store said they can not help me...

    When you set up the new phone did you set it up as "restore from an icloud backup" or did you set up the phone as a "new phone" and then signed in with your apple id? If you chose "restore from an ic,oud backup" then there might be something wrong with your icloud backup. You can try restoring the phone as "erase all contents and settings" and when it asks you how you're setting up your phone you can chose "set up as new iphone" and then sign in with your apple id and you should get your contact synced over at least. You can then go to the itunes store and app store to manually download your purchases. Or you can plug in your old phone to your computer and use itunes to "back up to my computer" and once that is done you can plug in your new phone to your computer and use itunes to "restore from a bckup". Hopefully that is more helpful.
    Also, what exactly did the Apple Store say as to why they "couldn't help you"?

  • I've given my sister my old phone but where she has gone to deleted contacts and pics of photo stream they have then automatically deleted on my recent phone... HELP ME!!

    I upgraded my iPhone 4S to iPhone 5c... My sister is planing to have my old 4s but we have gone to delete stuff eg contacts but those contact have then automatically deleted of my iPhone 5c ... I'm not sure if this is to do with the same icloud account being on both phones..
    I have backed up iPhone 5c on the computer and have backed up iPhone 4S but not sure if backing up the 4s made a difference. I am then worried that if I delete the iCloud of the 4s it will then delete all my stuff of iCloud and of my 5c
    When I got the iPhone 5c I used EE clone phone app so not sure if that has affected all this
    Please help
    Thanks
    Hope all the correct info is there

  • Why does Frequent Locations log places I've never been to?

    I've gone in to check the history of the Frequent Locations and I noticed it has logged places that I have never been to or on days I know I have never been there. Why or how does it store these locations when I know for a fact I was just sitting on my couch at home at the date and time it shows me on the other side of town?

    1= What a shame that this normally helpful and positively spirited amenity (Apple Discussions) is so very often spoiled by the abject negative and supersilious bile from some individuals?
    2 - Instead of going out of your way to prove that Mac owners and users are unapproachable smart ars*s, why not go out of your way to actually help people out who have a genuine query?
    3 - If you take the trouble to read my post, you will easily find that the content is written in good grammar, in proper English, and is as calm as a Californian Mayor. Unfortunately, a state of mind not evident in your own ranting post, sir.
    4 - When the day comes that more experienced and polite posters on here need to take advice from the less composed and less well-mannered ones like you, it will truly be time to close the curtains on this show we know as Apple Discussions.
    For your extra information, and I assume this will be filtered by your own bias, there IS, whether you like it or not - a lot of discomfort around many of the changes that have been made to iPhoto 11. I'll not trouble you with a list of them which are plastered all over Apple Discussions and elsewhere, but they are there and need to be addressed. Suffice to say, those negative changes have rendered the program to have a feel of "not really well thought through". A little bit like the first response to my original post.
    Now, if anyone has a constructive answer to my original post, I'd be delighted to hear it.
