HT201287 Once a day my messages stops working, I cannot send or receive messages and all of my messages disappear. I have to restart my iPhone 6 for it to start working again. This doesn't happen on my iPad Air. Is this happening to anyone else?

messages app continues to crash. All messaging stops working and all of my message threads disappear. the only thing that has seemed to work is restarting my phone. Happens at least once a day.

Hi Alo816,
I'm sorry to hear you are having such extensive issues with Messages on your iPhone. If you continue having issues sending or receiving Messages, you may find the troubleshooting steps outlined in the following article helpful:
iOS: Troubleshooting Messages - Apple Support
If you continue to have issues with Messages after that troubleshooting, especially if it is still having or crashing, you may want to make sure you have a current backup of your data in iTunes, then try restoring your iPhone to factory settings and testing it in that default condition to see if the issues persist before restoring your data. You may find this article useful:

  • The "Get Messages" button is grey, cannot send or receive. New install, import from Outlook 2007.

    No option to receive mail showing anywhere, and shift-f5 does nothing.
    It will read imported mail, but not reply

    Your MacBook shoul NOT be too old to run Leopard. (10.5) Snow Leopard, maybe, but not Leopard.
    When you go to the Genius Bar, MAKE SURE the genius knows you are NOT up to date with your  OS. If they try to update your phone, you could find yourself unable to sync at all...
    That said, if you're nice to them, they might just give you a copy of Leopard so you can get current with iTunes and iOS. It's been known to happen.

  • I cannot send nor receive emails. The message I get is that I need to type in my account password which I've done but still unable to send or receive. I get texts fine

    My Iphone 4 is new, and I have been able to send and receive texts, but cannot send nor receive emails. I get the message that I need to input my password for my yahoo account which I've done many times. When I type messagefor outgoing it only allows me to save as a draft. Any ideas?

    Are you positive you're typing the correct password in? You might want to try and reset your password, and try again.  You'll get texts because it isn't connected to your email account.

  • I have recently purchased an IPad Air. This comes with "IPhoto" as well as it's usual photo App. I do not have a Mac, instead I am syncing it to my windows PC. Is there any way of actually moving a picture around, (arranging photos in a single album)

    I have recently purchased an IPad Air. This comes with "IPhoto" as well as it's usual photo App. I do not have a Mac, instead I am syncing it to my windows PC. Is there any way of actually moving a picture around, (arranging photos in a single album), in either of these apps???? They claim to be able to "Organize"  or "arrange" Photos, but for the life of me I can't figure out how......could you recommend any apps that actually allow someone to move individual photos around on an IOS Device.

    No, reordering within folders and albums is not supported. the yare arranged automatically by date. I found this, but I have not used any of the apps besides iPhone. You might check the descriptions to see if they do what you need.

  • My lock screen only stays on on for a millisecond on start up ipad air is this usual

    my lock screen only stays on on for a millisecond on start up ipad air is this usual.

    Thanks for the replies.  I like to power down most of the time to save battery so if it's gonna be normal for me not to be able to get to the slider screen before it goes into sleep I guess  I will have to accept it.  However I'm sure I remember rightly that the first few times I used it after set up it used to stay on screen for several seconds to allow me to slide the button over.  Now it never does and to be honest I would expect it to wait after all you don't boot up your PC and then it immediately go into sleep mode unless something was wrong.  I thought most things when powered on would let you sign in or whatever before "going to sleep". 
    Just concerned to do a reset in case the darned thing does erase stuff which would seriously tee me off.  Appreciate the feedback guys.

  • Why did they change the shape of IPAD AIR? This isnt practical

    i've noticed that typing on the new ipad air is a burden and hurts my hand because they have made the width larger than previous models.
    I really wish they would leave well enough alone.
    Anyone else have this issue when typing on an ipad air?

    Add me to the list as someone who is beyond happy with the new size of iPad Air.  It's the single best change to the device yet!  And to the OP, maybe your ruler has different measurements than mine.  iPad Air is not wider than previous devices.

  • TS3992 How can I back up an iphone when I haven't set the phone up for back ups & the touch screen doesn't work? The phone can receive calls (not answer) & the pictures & messages can be seen but touch screen doesn't work to unlock the phone or select any

    How can I back up an iphone when I haven't set the phone up for back ups & the touch screen doesn't work? The phone can receive calls (not answer) & the pictures & messages can be seen but the touch screen doesn't work to unlock the phone or select anything. We want to save/transfer pictures, contacts, and music to the replacement phone.

    Try backing it up to your computer with iTunes.  Connect it to your computer, open iTunes, click on the name of the phone in iTunes, go to the Summary tab of your iTunes sync settings and click Back Up Now.  Also go to File>Devices>Transfer Purchases to transfer you apps and other purchased media to your iTunes library.

    Thanks for reporting what worked for you with regard to your Premiere Elements 9 issue. Your results will be helpful to all those who find themselves in the same situation that you encountered. It is good that the suggestion worked for you also since often problems with the same symptoms can (often do) have different causes and fixes.
    Best wishes as you move forward with your Premiere Elements projects.

  • I have iphone 4g and have updated to ios6 an updated itunes 2, but while sync itunes freezes and iphone is not sybc fully, finally i have to disconnect my iphone for itunes to shunt down. Can some one please tell why this is happening?

    I have iphone 4g and have updated to ios6 an updated itunes 2, but while sync itunes freezes and iphone is not sybc fully, finally i have to disconnect my iphone for itunes to shunt down. Can some one please tell why this is happening?

    I am having this problem.  At first with the new iPhone 5, and then with the iPad 2.  I am not sure why this is happening. 
    My gut feeling is this is an iO6 issue and here's why -
    The problem mainly occurs with apps.  I have about 150 apps, and when I plugged in the phone, iTunes went to sync all of them.  The process would hang up after about 20 - 30 apps were loaded onto the phone. I could tell where about the process hung up because the apps on the phone showed up as "waiting".
    Then on the iPad 2 I plugged in to sync and saw there was a huge "Other" component in my storage.  It required me to restore the iPad 2 from backup.  With this restore the same issues occurred - putting the apps back on the iPad would hang up.  The videos on the iPad also got stuck - maybe after about 10 hours of videos transfered iTunes crashed.
    My solution has been to soft reset the device, restart Windows, and continue the process until it's complete.  This is remarkably inefficient and time-intensive but everything works with patience.
    I have been wondering if others have had these same problems.
