HT201210 My iPhone 4s kept re-starting every few minutes.

My iPhone 4s kept re-starting every few minutes which made it virtually impossible to use. I had looked online for various solutions to solve this problem that I am having. I have manually turned the phone on and off multiple times but had no luck there. I then tried to restore the iPhone, only, during restoration, the iPhone would re-start itself, cancelling the restoration. I cannot use my phone at all now as when I try to turn it on, or plug it into my laptop or charger, the picture on the screen is telling me that I need to connect it to iTunes. Is there anything else that I am able to do to help my phone, or do I have no choice but to go to the Apple Store?

Try putting one of those movies onto your macbooks' drive and stream it and see if you have the same lag.
It's probably not being pulled from that external drive fast enough causing the lag.
I know you can watch it off your macbook fine, but you're pulling it onto the laptop, then pushing it out to the router and data transfer is always slower the more 'stuff' you give it to pass through.
For example, I can pull stuff off a harddrive at a gig a minute....but if i pull it off one and write it directly to another (using the computer as the go between) i get about 75% speed.....something that should take an hour can take almost an hour and a half.
So try streaming directly off your macbook and see if you stutter.

Streaming video (using Videos-app) from MBP 13" to iPad 2 and iPhone 4S is stuttering/lagging every few minutes

I have imported a number of movies and tv shows into my iTunes library. This library is located on an external USB 2.0 hard drive which is connected to my MacBook Pro 13" mid 2012. I use an Airport Extreme (5th gen.) as my network hub, everything is connected wirelessly through either the 5GHz or the 2.4GHz wifi signals.
Whenever I watch these videos on my MacBook itself of my AppleTV (3rd gen.) everything works just fine, no lag or stuttering. But when I want to watch these videos on my iPad 2 (6.1.2) or iPhone 4S (6.1.3) using the standard Videos app, I get lag and/or stuttering every few minutes just like you would when an internet video isn't loading fast enough. Speedtests indicate a stable internetconnection (fiberglass) at 30Mbps up and down, and internet videos (i.e. Youtube) stream just fine, even the 1080p ones. That's why I don't think my networkconnection is the problem.
Frankly, I don't have any idea where to look next. I checked all settings in iTunes (homesharing is enabled, any other settings seem to have no relation with this subject) and the iPad/iPhone, restarted the devices completely but not with any improvement.
Why is this happening? I'm used to Apple products having an optimal user experience, but in this case it's just not working like it should...

Iphone 3GS spontaneously comes on every few minutes?

My 3GS recycles spontaneously every few minutes... tried restore, but didn't work...???

Maybe a short circuit somewhere at the LCD panel that causes the PB becoming hot very soon. Was the LCD issue a warranty repair ?
I would ask the company that did the repair, respectively Apple (if it was a warranty) for assistance.

I-tunes is starting every 10 minutes

since yesterday i-tunes is starting every 10 minutes, shutting it down helps for 10 minutes, then it starts right up again. I find it very annoying since I use i-tunes once a week normally.

I guess this happened after you have updated to iOS 5. That's because you have choosen to wifi sync with your device (iPhone, iPad or iPod touch) and that you have also selected to OPEN iTunes when your device is connected. You can still leave the wifi sync on but uncheck the open iTunes when connected to the device.
To do this, you must connect your device to iTunes (wifi or cable), then once it is connected under the summary page of your device, look at Options and uncheck the Open iTunes when this device is connected.
Hope this helps!

ITunes 10.5 starts itself every few minutes for some unknown reason

iTunes 10.5 installed on a Vista system to perform the iPhone 5.0 iOS upgrade. Now iTunes starts itself every few minutes for some unknown reason. Exiting iTunes will close it (and, of course, remove it from the Task manager list of running applications), but in a while it will restart all over again.
Thoughts?

if u have wifi sync on turn off open when this ipod/iphone/ipad is connected

Yesterday while downloading an app on my 3GS, my iPhone froze, and I switched it off to reboot. Following that, every few minutes, the screen will flicker and the phone will restart. What's wrong? And how should I fix it?

I recieved my iPhone 3GS around Christmas. It has been working great, until yesterday. I was downloading an app and suddenly my messaging froze. I couldn't view incoming messages, and every chat I clicked on displayed the same frozen dialogue with only the contact names different. (The app was supposedly reliable, I read over the reviews.) I rebooted my phone in hopes of fixing this, and everything seemed fine for a couple of minutes. Then the screen slightly flickered, and my phone restarted itself. Now, after turning on again, it continues to flicker and crash every few minutes, whether I'm using it or not. Can anyone tell me what could be wrong and how I can fix it?

Restore the Firmware with iTunes.
If still problem and you have Warranty or AppleCare Coverage take to Apple for resolution.
If no coverage, the next step would be battery replacement.

Ipad Air update to IOS 8.02( stuck in apple logo; turns blue every few minutes and starts over; itunes does not recognize it)

Hi everybody,

Itunes does not recognize the device either.
Do you have any solution to this issue?

The first thing to check would be your internet download speed, you can do this at www.speedtest.net.
1080p HD movies require a recommended speed of 8 Mbps, 720p HD movies require a recommended speed of 6 Mbps, while SD movies require a recommended speed of 2.5 Mbps.

IPhone constantly turns its self off every few minutes

My mother came to me with her iPhone, and told me about this problem she has been having, and this is the best way I can think of to state it.
Her phone turns its self off every few minutes. It never does it while she is using it. It's only when she puts it in her pocket for a little while and then pulls it back out to use it again. It also will not turn on by doing the normal way of holding the ON button for two seconds. It will only turn on when you reset it by holding the On and Home buttons at the same time, and it seems to take much longer than it does on my 3G. It sometimes will only turn on by connecting it to the charger, because the reset method isn't working. She claims it has not had low battery while doing this, because she keeps it charged. I have observed myself to make sure, and the phone is almost 100% charged the last few times it has done this.
Any suggestions out there?

Since a doing a reset has not resolved the problem, the next step is restoring the iPhone with iTunes from the backup. If no change after restoring from the backup, restore as a new iPhone or not from the backup.
If no change after either restore method, time to give AppleCare a call at (800) 694-7466, or make an appointment at an Apple store if there is one nearby.

Firefox suddenly started crashing every few minutes

I've been using FF for a long time on this PC. Suddenly its started crashing every few minutes, its the Windows "Firefox has stopped working" crash, so doesn't record on Firefox's about:crashes. If FF is left running in the background, it dies after a few minutes - I don't even need to be using it.
The window event details are ..
Faulting application name: firefox.exe, version: 5.0.0.4183, time stamp: 0x4df95302
Faulting module name: unknown, version: 0.0.0.0, time stamp: 0x00000000
Exception code: 0xc0000005
Fault offset: 0x751fc9f1

Faulting module path: unknown
Report Id: ddcd75e8-ab8e-11e0-8c72-0017a4d0a704
I use Portable Firefox and I have both 4.0 and 5.0 installations, and both show the same symptoms. I downloaded a completely clean 5.0 and also a 3.6.18, and both show the same fault.
Any ideas? Windows is clearly killing Firefox, it doesn't appear to be an add-on or plugin that's the issue.

I've just tried Aurora, and it seems to work. I've been using it now for just about a whole day's work without a crash. I briefly swapped back to 5.0 to check that my PC hadn't magically fixed itself, but no .. 5.0 only lasted a couple of minutes before dying.
It's not properly supported as a Portable APP but there's a way to bodge it together.

This is normal functionality for bootpd. Nothing to worry about.

Just within the last week, everytime I put my music on on my iphone, it asks me to log into Itunes. If I press cancel, it keeps coming up every few minutes. Why all of a sudden is it doing this?

Since the MobileMe move I keep getting a pop-up screen that says "IDisk Conflict Resolver." I've done everything asked to "resolve" the problem but it keeps popping up every few minutes. How can I get rid of this?

Ok....so I have found a work around....if not a complete solution.
I'm not sure if deleting your music, uninstalling ITunes and reinstalling and adding your music back will actually affect it but I tried it again. Started from scratch.
I checked the box for "Manually manage music and videos"
Then I moved my music to phone via drag and drop, usually just boxing a row of albums at a time.
I went back into my Iphone and began the sync. The message popped up, "1 Item could not be synced" and the sync stopped. At that point, I just clicked sync again and it started back up again. It took a few go's but eventually I got all my music on my phone.
Ironically enough, the only songs that wouldn't sync were songs that I had actually purchased from Itunes....kinda odd
