I cannot open my text messaging app on iPhone 4. Help please??

It shows I have 2 text messages, but when I tap on the Messages icon, it is just blank for about 10-15 seconds & then just goes back to the home screen.  Anybody know how to fix this?  Any help would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks!

Before restoring the iPhone, i auggest you try this:
Go to Settings-> iMessage and turn iMessage OFF.  Then power off your iPhone, wait a little while and power it back on again.  Go to Settings ->iMessage and turn it back ON.
This worked on my husband's phone when something similar happened a few days ago.

    I cannot open Nikon NRW raw files in Elements 11 Help please

    If you're feeling brave* you can try the workaround procedure listed here - http://forums.adobe.com/message/5956711#5956711.
    You'll need to use ACR 8.3 RC1. I found it at http://www.freewarefiles.com/downloads_counter.php?programid=24402. ACR 8.3 final won't work with PSE11. Make sure you click the correct download link - 'Direct Download 1' to get the zip file 'cameraraw8-3cs6_r1_win_110713.zip'.
    If your system can't open zip files I highly recommend the free 7-Zip (Google it) to do so.
    The '1033' file the instructions refer to is in payloads\AdobeCameraRaw7.0All-051113155157\Assets1_1.zip.
    * At your own risk! If any of this is incomprehensible stick with the DNG converter - that's the officially supported method and you'll need to install it anyway to get the profiles installed.

  • I have downloaded ios7 and a little while later I cannot send a text message to another iphone

    I recently downloaded ios7 and then the second download and after a couple of days I can no longer send a text message to another iphone

    If it was not sent, it is possible that you prevented it from being sent. However, if it made it to the Apple server before it tried sending as a SMS, it is very possible it still could be sent. In my opinion, I would say no.

  • Cannot open itunes now I've downloaded the update - help please

    I launched my itunes and had a message asking did I want to install the updated version. When it finished installing it said it needed to shutdown and restart - which I did. When I tried to reopen itunes from the shortcut it said it cannot open it coz some files are missing. Can anyone help please. I have contacted apple and although i've had my phone for over 90 days they have emailed me steps on how to uninstalled and reinstall safely. However, once I got the email, the first thing it tells me to do is to launch itunes which I can't do. can anyone help please? Many thanks.

    Hi,
    Try the following
    First of all, see if you can uninstall your current version of HP Support Assistant by using the Microsoft 'Fixit' on the following link - this is particularly useful in correcting issues that may prevent reinstallation on machines running a 64bit OS.
    http://support.microsoft.com/mats/Program_Install_and_Uninstall
    If this completes, restart the PC.
    Next download and install the latest version of HP Support Assistant from the page on the link below - the download links are towards the bottom of the page.
    http://h18021.www1.hp.com/helpandsupport/hp-support-assistant.html
    After the installation, restart the PC again.

    So wise guy, how do I get to the App Developer!?
    Start by doing an internet search for the name of the App or the developer name. You can find the developer name in the App description in the App Store.
    No one was condemning you. You were asked a couple of clarifying questions. Snapping back at people doesn't encourage other people ot help you. I'm not sure what the fact that you're 74 has to do with anything. Most of us don't assume that septuagenarians are bad at using technology. In fact, a number of very smart people on these boards, people who help lots of others, fall into that category.
    Best of luck.

  • My iphone 4 wont let me open my text messages

    MY iphone 4 just wont let me open my text messages, its just a blank screen whenever I open it and its driving me crazy. I've already turned it off, then on again and have already done a hard reset and both failed to fix the problem. Help!

    Close out of the message app, then double tap the home button and completely close out of it.
    Then do a rest, hold down the home/sleep button together until you see the apple logo and then release, then wait for the phone to boot back up.  Then check message app again.

  • Why is my text messaging app is not working at all, is a blank screen? Help!!!

    you mentioned that Terminal does not work at all for your MacBook Pro. What currently happens when you run Terminal? In what way does it not work?

  • My text messaging app is not working PLEASE HELP!!!

    My text messaging app is not working at all is a blank screen when I open it! Help!!!

    No its a well known bug with iphones caused by their over complication of things and their complacency that their users will buy the phones on looks alone irrespective of its basic functionality.
    Suggestion 1 - The most common suggested solution seems to be: iMessage needs switched off on all your devices and switched back on after a rest. I found that this did NOT work.
    Suggestion 2 - Having a Wi Fi Signal seems to confuse iMessage to send an SMS as a text or as an iMessage. Turn off WiFi on your phone and manually send as text message. Slow, I lnow!!
    Suggestion 3 - Move away from any wifi source ie out of range.
    Suggestion 4 - Send an email, or a letter. Its more personal!!
    20 Minutes later - still not sent 2 short texts.
    Apple are very complacent and disdainful of their user community. Not what Id expect but this is a global corporation with the same business ethics as an Oil company or a car company. Profit not function.

  • I open a text message to respond and my screen freezes

    I keep getting the "low on space" message pop up, and when I went to open a text message it would tell me that there is not enough space and I need to delete apps. I deleted some works in the text dictionary and then suddenly my phone started to act up. It wont let me delete blank works in my dictionary. Also, when I go to open up a text and respond I type in one letter and my screen freezes. When I finally get it to the home page the keyboard is still there and is making everything slow and or not work. I have to keep turning my phone on and off. I have already taken out the battery 3 times already and let it sit. 
    Anyone have advice on what to do??? 
    I don't want to have to do a factor reset because I am scared I will loose my calendar appointments, pictures etc.

    Your internal storage is getting too low. These phones require a little bit of maintenance from time to time.
    Check your internal storage. Settings > sd card & phone storage
    Clear cache from the applications. Settings > applications > manage applications > all tab > menu button > sort by size. You will have to go through the apps one by one and pressing the white clear cache button. Browser, market and games seem to be the usual suspects.
    Backup your text messages to the sd card or send to an email address. Search the Market for sms backup. If you want to save mms messages, you will likely have to choose a paid application.
    After you have backed up the text messages, delete as many threads or individual messages as you can stand.
    Clear call history. Not sure if there is an application that will back that up for you. I use Lookout which has that as option.
    Move what applications you can to the sd card. The steps will be similar to the clear cache steps above.
    After completing all that go back to get your internal storage level and hopefully be amazed how much space you have gained.

  • Q10 Text Messages app behaves weird

    Hi,
    After I ugraded to the latest OS 10.2, the Text Messages app in my Q10 has gone crazy. Although the conversation updates smoother than it used to do before but I have noticed that when a conversation is updating quickly and there are messages coming in quick, the whole conversation goes blank and it gets stuck in that same conversation. Even when I close the editor and open it again, I get to the same conversation everytime when I try to write a new message but I cant write anything. The only key that works on that stuck conversation screen is that "Previous Screen" key at the bottom left. The only solution is that I have to restart my device to make it work right again. That is so annoying!
    Another thing is when I am texting fast and keep writing separate texts in a conversation, what happens is that the last word of the last sent message stays and copies itself to the editor field. I have to erase it and then write the new message. Never seen this thing before in Bold 9790.
    Am I the only one with this weird problem?

    I was having the same problem, now my entire text messaging app is gone. It is still on the home screen, but when I click on it, it sends me straight to the hub, and if I swipe left and go to the hub, I don't have text messages on the left column, so I can not access them at all anymore.

  • I cannot open iphoto- the message I am getting says Shut down and restart your computer, and then open iPhoto again. If the problem persists, try rebuilding your photo library. To do this, quit iPhoto, and then reopen it while keeping the Option and Comma

    i cannot open iphoto- the message I am getting says Shut down and restart your computer, and then open iPhoto again. If the problem persists, try rebuilding your photo library. To do this, quit iPhoto, and then reopen it while keeping the Option and Command-
    I tries and it doesnt work!!

    What version of iPhoto? Assuming 09 or later:
    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
    This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

  • I sure hope that the new imessenger doesn't look like the text messaging app, that would be a huge flop for apple. It has to look and feel like bbm or it will just suck.

    I sure hope that the new imessenger doesn't look like the current text messaging app, that would be a huge flop. I think I should look and feel like the bbm to make any kind of significant impact. Am I wrong?

    "iMessage in iOS 5 brings the functionality of iPhone messaging to all of your iOS devices―iPhone, iPad and iPod touch. Built right into the Messages app, iMessage allows you to easily send text messages, photos, videos or contact information to a person or a group on other iOS 5 devices over Wi-Fi or 3G. iMessages are automatically pushed to all your iOS 5 devices, making it easy to maintain one conversation across your iPhone, iPad and iPod touch. iMessage also features delivery and read receipts, typing indication and secure end-to-end encryption."
    That is from the Apple site. If all your friends have an iPhone, iPod Touch, or iPad you cang share with your friends, with is exactly like BlackBerry Messenger (BBM only works on BBs).
    And it does look just like the current message format. You can also find that at www.Apple.com
