HT4623 I downloaded the ios 6 on my iphone. I'm having problems with applications. When I open any application, in seconds then closes and returns to the home screen. What could be happening?

Did you change any AppleID accounts or anything? I've seen this happen when changing accounts or certain restore situations.
If you are using iCloud you should be able to reset your phone to Factory Defaults and restore from iCloud, but it always makes me nervous.

How come i cant see the hide buttom in my iphone?

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Unsync all music and resync
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

Why is that when I downloaded the iOS 7 for my iphone 5 that it changed my send and receive for imessages to a random number but my SMS messages are still linked to my phone number?

I just encountered this problem for the first time and stumbled upon this forum to find a solution. I played around with it a bit and it seems that if you slide your finger from the bottom up, you will come upon that new screen that will allow you to do various functions with your phone (put it in airport mode, lock, etc.), you can select your Airport from this screen and play your music wirelessly from your phone; at least this was my experience. Hope this helps!

Hi there LovelyLily,
You may find the troubleshooting steps in the article below helpful.

If your device doesn't have enough space to download and install the update, you can use iTunes to update your device.

If i have purchased garageband for Ipad... can i download the IOS version on my iphone 4 without paying again?
Or do i have to pay again?
thanks,

If you've previously paid for the iOS version, you can. If you've previously paid for the Mac version but not the iOS version, you can't.

TS2755 When I downloaded the iOS 7 to my iphone I can only send messages to other I phones?

When I downloaded the ios7 to my iphone4 I now can only send messages to other iPhones, but can call and receive calls from everyone?

In settings for Messages, do you have "send as SMS enabled"?

I downloaded the iOS 6 on my iphone 3GS and now it is stuck on gthe set up. It does not recognise a simcard even when inserted and tells me 'No Service'. So actually I cant set up the phone. What could be the problem since I have never encountered such.

ios 6 has made my phone lose network and hence cant be set up... please help????

It is most likely permanently bricked. Jailbreaking can do permanent damage.
You can't get help here. Discussing jailbroken phones is forbidden by the terms of service.
Buy a new phone.

I cant download the ios 5 upgrade

i have tried so many times to upgrade to ios 5 but i cant do it.

The iPhone 3G cannot be updated to iOS 5. The latest is 4.2.1. You need an iPhone 3GS, 4 or 4S to support iOS 5. The iPhone 3G cannot be updated because its hardware cannot support the latest OS.

When I downloaded the iOS 8 on my iPhone it tried to download but I ended up without the update and about a gigabyte less storage then I had before

When I tried to download iOS 8 it says it was downloading but then it didn't and left my phone without the update and with about one gigabyte less storage than it had before

Hello amandah1013
Try using iTunes to update your iPhone and it should sort out that space issue.

Your phone was jailbroken. You can't get help here.
In VERY RARE circumstances, this may indicate a hardware failure.

Hi Eric Ferguson,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
For troubleshooting on this, take a look at this article:
iTunes: Specific update-and-restore error messages and advanced troubleshooting
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3694
Error 13, 14, 35 and 50 (or -50)
These errors are typically resolved by performing one or more of the steps listed below:
Perform USB isolation troubleshooting, including trying a different USB port directly on the computer. See the advanced steps below for USB troubleshooting.
Put a USB 2.0 hub between the device and the computer.
Try a different USB 30-pin dock-connector cable.
Eliminate third-party security software conflicts.
There may be third-party software installed that modifies your default packet size in Windows by inserting one or more TcpWindowSize entries into your registry. Your default packet size being set incorrectly can cause this error. Contact the manufacturer of the software that installed the packet-size modification for assistance. Or, follow this article by Microsoft: How to reset Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) to reset the packet size back to the default for Windows.
Connect your computer directly to your Internet source, bypassing any routers, hubs, or switches. You may need to restart your computer and modem to get online.
Try to restore from another known-good computer and network.
Best of luck,
Mario

I have an iphone 4s. I tried to download the iOS 7 but it couldn't download because it said it was an error. I have plenty of space to download the upgrade. Do you know what it is?

Keep trying or maybe try again later. There are millions of people who are currently trying to do the same thing you're doing. Just be patient and you will be able to update, this happens on launch day. Just curious.....what was the error
