I have an IPhone 5.  I am having difficulty getting and sending texts.  Some I don't get until I completely shut down the phone and turn it back on.

I have an IPhone 5.  Software is up to date.  Having problems receiving texts and sending them.  Sometimes it take for the phone to be shut down and restarted before the texts are received.

No one's been able to do that yet.  And people a lot smarter than you (and me) have tried.
The basic way malware works is that it runs a program on the device.  However, the iOS does not allow any program to be downloaded or installed onto the device, unless they are from the App Store.  And Apple thoroughly checks all apps submitted by app-developers before allowing them onto the App Store.
In essence, imagine that there is a fortress that has absolutely only one entrance; a guarded front gate.  And the guards will only let in people that have proper identification.  Without that identification, they will not open the gate.
The fortress is the iOS device.  The guards are the operating system.  The identification is the App Store.
You didn't come from the App Store?  Then you can't come in.  It's as simple as that.

  • I have insurance through apple for my iPhone 4. Last night my phone was stolen. Am I covered under insurance to get a new phone? And how much will it cost? Second- what should I do about it? I don't know if I should shut down the phone or what?

    No, you simply do not.  Apple does not sell insurance.
    Apple offers an Extended Warranty called AppleCare.
    Warranties doe not cover lost or stolen devices.  Buy a new one.

  • I have a Macbook Air (11-inch Mid 2012) that is running OS X Yosemite. Every time that I shut down the computer, then turn it back on I receive a notification as it logs in that says "You shut down your computer because of a problem".

    I can't find out what that problem is. Any advice? Any ideas even as to what it might be? I haven't heard about this happening elsewhere.

  • If my iPhone is stolen and the thief shut the phone down, I wouldn't be able to locate it anymore.  Is it possible to disable the possibility to shut down the phone when a passcode lock is set up?

    If my iPhone is stolen and the thief shut the phone down, I wouldn't be able to locate it anymore.
    Is it possible to disable the possibility to shut down the phone when a passcode lock is set up?
    enable prohibition shutdown option, with out a jail break tweek
    Apple should think about this, if not already in the new IOS 7

    No.
    The battery will run out sooner or later anyway, even if you could prevent shutdown.
    iOS 7 includes a feature that prevents anyone wiping and then re-setting up the phone without your AppleID and password.

    On my new iPhone 4s, I periodically get a "Sim failure" message and I loose my Verizon connection. To get service back, I need to shut down my phone and restart it.

    Have you tried removing and replacing the SIM? If that doesn't work, try a new SIM from Verizon, they will usually swap them out for you for free. If those don't work, you might need to get the phone checked out, it may have a bad SIM port.

  • HT1267 my iphone 4s completely shut down! will not turn on.  did not drop or get wet

    iphone 4s shut down! will not turn back on.

    Connect iPhone to Wall Charger and Reset, hold both Home and Power buttons until the iPhone begins to start. This can take about 20 seconds of holding both buttons.
    If still problem, iPhone 4S has full Warranty, make Genius Reservation and take iPhone to Apple for resolution.

  • Hi , I have an iPhone5 my music is restarting when I enter my passcode , this occured on iOS 6 and I'm on iOS 7.0.4 now. shutting down the phone is a temporary fix, any suggestions?

    problem occured first week I had the phone , I have trired restoring the phone countless times and it still comes back not sure what it may be. the problem comes and goes when it likes. It happens with every song not only one. and also Ive re downloaded the iOS 7.0.4 software again but the problem is still there.

    Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new).  Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.
    If this does not resolve the issue, take the device to Apple for evaluation.

  • My control button does not allow me to return to the home page. I have to completely shut down the system and reboot to switch to another application.

    My navigating button, key does not allow me to switch to other applications. To do this I have to
    Shut down and reboot. I spoke with apple customer service on
    Friday and they has me connect to the computer and download any new
    And updated information. That resolved the issue for one day and the problem
    Started again.

    Try restoring your phone as a "new" device in iTunes, not from backup. When finished, eject your phone. Do not sync any content back to your phone. How are things working now? If OK, sync your content back to your phone. If not, make an appointment at an Apple store, as you most likely have a hardware issue.

  • My iPhone 5c has just completely shut down and won't turn back on I've only had it 3 days

    Take the machine into your local Apple Store or an AASP and have them fix it.
    I had a similar issue when I was syncing a friend's iPhone (I don't own one) in that the machine shut down when the iPhone was plugged in. But I was able to reboot. A lot of people seems to have the problem that you describe, however.

  • Why when i shut down the iphone 4s the social networks fail? s.o.s.

    Facebook, Twitter ans WhatsApp stop working if i shut down the iphone. I must to restore each time in order to fix it.

  • I have an iphone 4s that is having display issues. If I turn the phone on, it vibrates to acknowledge it successfully turned on but the screen stays solid black. I can plug the phone into my computer and itunes will recognize the phone as well.

    I have an iphone 4s that is having display issues. If I turn the phone on, it vibrates to acknowledge it successfully turned on but the screen stays solid black. I can plug the phone into my computer and itunes will recognize the phone as well. However, itunes can not do anything with the phone because the phone is locked and I can not unlock the phone because the screen is black.
    >CURVEBALL!!!<
    The screen does work though! Through trial and error along side a little troubleshooting, I was able to figure out that the screen will cut on after the phone dies completely. The phone has to die completely with no battery power left. Then if I plug the phone into a charge and wait a while for it to charge, the phone will turn on like nothing was ever even wrong with it. I charge the phone up to like 30% and turn it off then bam the phone turns on but the screen is solid black again.
    I am currently in the process of waiting for the phone to die and when I turn the phone back on I am going to completely remove the auto-lock and lock code off of the phone for the time being.
    Any other suggestions? Please help!

    Sounds like the device was dropped at some point and damaged as a result.
    Take it to Apple for evaluation and a replacement.

  • HI!  I have a new macbook air but having difficulty connecting to a router if I am about 10 meters away.  My iMac, iPad, iPhones and iPods can connect easily.  Is there something that I need to configure?  I have no issues if I am close to it.  Thank you!

    Hello, If you are dealing with one of the really thin iMac's that have no superdrive, then the superdrive icon should not appear on the desktop when you plug it in, but when you put in a disk (CD, DVD, etc.) that should appear. If you go into disk utility, and look at superdrive, that should be clickable and not grayed out when you have it plugged in. If this does not show up in disk utility, go to Apple, and ask to speak to their supervisor, speaking to a customer service agent is like talking to a potato, nothing gets done. Good Luck!
