  • My iPhone keeps freezing when I am texting, the keyboard will not come up.  I have to turn it off or reset it to get keyboard to come up.  How can I fix this?

    In text or email, the keyboard will not come up.  I have to reset phone or turn it off to get started again.  How can i fix this issue?

    Hello Jennings Castle,
    It seems your iPhone is slowing down and not responding frequently. To rectify this issue you may want to consider performing a restore on the device, and then restoring your data from a backup via iCloud or iTunes. 
    If the issue persists after restoring your backup, you would then want to consider restoring the device and setting it up as new. Below I have linked to article which offers guidance on both of these restore methods:

  • Iphone 4S stopped working when fully charged and it will not turn on. what should i try?

    My brand new, fully charged, working for nearly 2 days iPhone 4S suddenly stopped working and will not turn on. I've tried recharging and it's unresponsive. What should I try to do?

    I've had a similar thing happen to my new iPhone 4S three times. It gets hot and doesn't respond to either button -- the screen remains completely off. I have to hold down both buttons for awhile until the Apple appears and then everything seems fine... until it happens again. Once it happened overnight, so I missed  my alarms. Another time, it was while I was at dinner.
    Always it happens when the iPhone is on standby with the screen off and nothing particular happening with it. The iPhone 4S is brand new, hasn't been dropped, hasn't been messed with in any way.
    Is there a way I can get a trace of what happened before I reset it? The system log (visible in "System Status" and other apps) starts with the reset, so it doesn't help here.

  • How do i fix my phone it will show the apple sign when i put it on the charger it will show the apple sign and it wont charge and it will not come on how do i fix my phone i have the iphone 4s

    how do i fix my phone it wont charge it will show the apple sign when i put it on the charger and it will show the apple sign and then it will shut right back off and it wont come on and i have the iphone 4s how do i fix my phone

    Check the USB port and the USB cable for any kind of lint, debris or bent pins.
    Try another, working USB cable.
    If still no luck, get it checked by visiting an Authorized Apple Service Provider or contact Apple Support to get it serviced:

  • MACBOOK I had the battery tested it is fully charged but laptop will not run unless plugged in

    My macbook (early 2009) battery is not working. After I disconnect my charger from my macbook, my macbook completly shuts off. So I ordered a new battery and the same thing is happening. Accordingly, I went to batteries-plus to make sure I didn't get a defective battery. The store said there was nothing wrong with the battery so it has to be my macbook. I've reset the pram and smc and that as had no effect as well.
    Can you tell me what the problem is? Or other ways to troubleshoot?

    One of the items which could have failed, is the 'magsafe board' where the
    circuit is inside the MacBook, adapter attaches outside. This is similar to
    a dc-in board, however can be tedium and difficult to repair if unskilled.
    Not sure about troubleshooting this issue; a few topics on the subject have
    been posted online and also in these ASC discussions; & are searchable.
    At times, a google search may bring up more; while if you can find them,
    the Support articles can be helpful if they go into a actual troubleshooting.
    Some do not offer a level of technical help required, and a service tech
    often would have the correct diagnostic tools to be able to test this issue.
    The magsafe board replacement involves a take-apart process and there
    are several parts that can be difficult to put back where they came from;
    so if you go there, read up on how others did it. An easier said than done
    if one has no experience with completing multiple step tiny tasks.
    You could look into the repair guides at iFixit.com MacBook section
    for some ideas; several DIY processes are shown in pictures.
    Not sure about batteries plus. For their factor, you could get a fairly
    nice third-party one from OWC with higher specs. Do they allow a
    return if the product did not solve the issue? (seldom is expected)
    Good luck & happy computing!

  • HT1476 My phone was fully charged and while talkng, it went to a blank screen.  It will not come back on.  I have tried turning it off and back on, but it doesn't do anything, just keeps the blank screen.

    While talking on the phone this morning, it was fully charged, the screen went blank and I could no longer use the phone.  I tried turing it off and then on, but it still ghad a blank screen.  I even tried charging the phone, but it still has a blank screen.

    I am sorry to hear about your phone.
    You could try connecting it to your laptop and see if itune recognises the phone.
    If it does then make a backup of your phone.
    You could then restore it and see if it helps.
    It shouldn't be much of a problem if its a software issue but if something went wrong with the hardware then you might have to go to an Apple store.
    Hope this helps

    You may have to do this several times.
    Saw this solution on another post about an iPad in a school environment. Might work on your iPad so you won't lose everything.

    ‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
    Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
    I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
    Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
    1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
    2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
    3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
    4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
    5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
    6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
    7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
    8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just canceling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
    If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.

    Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.

    Copy the iTunes folder from the disk to the Mac, and the iPhone backup to the right place on the Mac (Google for "iphone backup location"). Then when you restore you can reload the last backup.

  • My iPhone 4S went dead during the night.

    During the night my iPhone 4S went dead and the screen was black. The bottons wouldn't answer on anything, so I readed on the net that I should hold down both bottons and make a restart. This worked and the iPhone started up with 60% battery level. Why???

    i got my new ipone 4s yesterday afternoon, played a little bit. then in the evening went to completely dead after i put in to my pockeckt for 10 mins. no reaction even with power plugged in. I was able to recharge it this morning (plugged in and see the charging icon).
    this afternoon (the 2nd day) I sent a message and left it on the table for a few mins, did not get the msg back then relized it went dead again. my friend did a reset for me and saw the battery has 65% left..

  • My ipod touch was downloading a update when the battery went dead now it only has a blue screen

    my ipod was making a update when the battery went dead and now my ipod shows only blue

    See:
    iTunes: May be unable to transfer videos to iPhone, iPad, or iPod
    iTunes: Frequently asked questions about viewing and syncing videos
    You may need a computer app like the free HandBrake to convert the format to one compatible with the iPod.

  • My battery went dead and I had to plug it in. after several hours I went back to it and it is has an icon that is saying plug in and itunes.  It won't do anything else- nothing. I can't turn it off or or on and I have no access to my phone.

    my battery went dead- I plugged in it.  several hours later I went back to it and it wasn't on. instead the only thing on the screen was a picture of the plug in and the icon itunes on top of it.  I have no idea what that means.  My phone will not turn on even after I hold both buttons. i was told a while back that the i7 program can mess this up and to hold both buttons down to reboot the phone.  I tried this but even this isn't working.  Any ideas?

  • HT1349 my iphone went dead and wont charge at all, please help :(

    my iphone went dead and wont charge. I tried plugging it on the wall and via the usb to my laptop but still no luck. any suggestions on how to make it work?

    Try using a differnt USB cord.   Or hold down the power/home button together for 10 to 15 sec or until you see the apple logo and then release, wait for your phone to boot back up.

  • How can i get my iphone 4 back up after it went dead. It had plenty of power, and it will not come up even after i hold down the home and power buttons for 30 seconds.

    My iphone 4 went dead even when there was plenty of batery life. I ran through the reboot for holding down the home button with the power button and it still did not come back up. Any thoughts?

    Plug it into a wall outlet for at least 30 minutes, then try resetting it again. If no respose, you most likely have a hardware issue. Make an appointment at an Apple store.

  • Help iphone 4S went dead, no drop, no water. Docked to pc and came up w/ error that it could not be restored

    Help iphone 4S went dead, I did not drop it, docked to PC and error came up that it can't be restored

    Hi
    I followed this guy's instructions and it worked:
    http://evsiphone.blogspot.com/2009/05/iphone-iphone-could-not-be-restored.html
    I did disable the security (AVG and Zone Alarm) when I tried on my own PC. My wife's laptop which eventually got it working also uses AVG and Zone Alarm but on an XP O/S whereas my PC is Vista - maybe this is why.
    Cheers for you help.
