IOS 5 - now my iPhone 4 is S... L... O... W...
I've had an iPhone 4 on the Rogers network in Canada for about 8 months. Installed iOS 5 two days ago and all seemed to go properly. Launching any app takes forever now. Prior to iOS 5 my apps would launch instantly. Some that required Internet accees (like, Google) might delay for a moment, but nothing that made me unhappy. But now that I have iOS 5, all apps launch v e r y s l o w l y... like 3 secs is the quickest, and 10 secs might be the slowest. Doesn't seem to be a pattern though. Once an app is open, it may open from the background quicky, but it may not. It is very strange. eg. I can Launch Mail, and it will open in about 5 seconds (that's not acceptable), then I can close it (it is running in the background), and open it again and it pops open instantly (great!). But close it and open it a minite later, and it might take 5 seconds, or might pop open instantly.
Any idea??? Help!
I am thining that if I could wipe the OS and install a clean, new, fresh iOS, then maybe it will be snappy. Anybody know about this? I have tried to google how to do such a "clean install", but no luck finding "how to". Maybe this isn't required.... I'm just guessing because such a clean start works well for Microsoft Windows!
Input or suggestions welcome,
Thanks,
Randy
Thanks for the quick reply. I tool the advice and "reset" my iPhone. However, I now have lost all my data!
Contrary to what the phone told me, I did lose my data. After I hit reset it wanted to connect to iCloud or iTunes... my only backup was in iTunes. When the phone connected to iTunes (it told me when to plug in) iTumes automatically made a backup of the phone!!!!! Then when it went to restore it, ya, you guess it, the only backup available was the one it just made!!!!! I have a backup of my iPhone when it is in the middle of a reset... and so a restore puts in back to that state - the middle of a restore. A quick google to see where the "older" backups are, seems to scare me.... Is it really true that iTubnes keeps only the last backup?????? That can't be true.
Have I lost all the info on my phone??

Hi everyone! I tried to install the new iOs 7 on my iphone 4, but it wasn't completed (showing error 4005). Now, my iphone is stuck on the itunes' logo with the usb cord, and I can't use my phone. And itunes doesn't detect my iphone when I connect it on my computer, so I can't put it in recovery mode or someting like that... What can I do?? I tried everything they tell me to do in the apple support but nothing seems to work. Thank you!
No problem, glad to help!
Update: my PC USB hub was connected to a USB 3 port, I connected the 30 pin cable directly to my PC, And the restore worked just fine. Restored phone from iCloud backup and seems to be working fine. -

I updated to iOS 8 on iPhone 5s and now iMessage will not verify my email address to use to send/ receive messages. It has said "Verifyng" beside it in settings since yesterday, but has not sent a verification email. I have also tried Adding it as a new email address several times, but get the same outcome. I can still send/ receive texts from my phone number, just not from the email address.
In my iCloud settings under Contact Information for that email address and it shows "pending". When I select "Resend Verification Email" I get "Cannot Connect to iCloud".Hello, Dorian071.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
Here is the best article to reference when experiencing issues with iMessage activation issues.

Hello Hilda Louise
Start with the article below to get your iPhone to be recognized in iTunes again. Then you will probably need to restore it to get it back up and running.

I updated my IOS on my iPhone 4S and it locked up. I had to restore my phone and now iTunes will not go past the setup your phone screen even though the phone as been restored. How do I get iTunes to go past this screen so I can sync my phone again?
Depending on what iPhone you have when you get to the connect to wifi you should be able to activate your device over cellular data. Try doing a hard reset by holding the home circle button an power button until an apple pops up and the go through the setup again and when you get to the wifi part a option should be setup with cellular data iPhone 4 and above should give this option sometimes doesn't like showing up that's why u have to do a hard reset first

I updated my iphone to iOS 6.1.2 and now my iphone calander and macbook calendar no longer sync (they used to). How do I get them to sync again?
Why can't you update?
There should be nothing preventing the update from 6.1.3 or 6.1.2 or even from 5 directly to 7.
What happens when you try to update?
Have you tried to Update through a computer running the most up top date version of iTunes?
Tell us a little more about what is happening and we may be able to provide more specific answers. -

I just downloaded ios 6.1.2 and now my iphone 4 wont hook up to a charging device
i just downloaded ios 6.1.2 and now my iphone 4 wont accept a charging device there is no error message, there is no little lightening bolt in the battery icon to show its charging, i have tried several cords and several wall outlets and hard rebooted my iphone several times and still it wont charge. if there is anybody that can help me it would be greatly appreciated.
I believe what is happening is that when charge gets below a certain level (maybe less than 5% remaining), the indicator stops properly functioning. I'm experiencing this issue on both my iPhone and iPad and if I leave them plugged in, eventually they start charging or showing that they are charging. I'm traveling so this is the first time on 6.1.2 that my devices have been below 10% since the update. I bet in the last update, to appease those with drain issues, the battery charge indicator was manipulated much in the same way the celluar bars were several years ago for those who where "holding" their phones incorrectly.

I don't understand, I'm connected to internet and everything.
