IOS 7 makes my iPhone 4 very laggy. Is there any hope for me?

I know Apple just stopped signing iOS 6, is there any way to downgrade, or will Apple start signing iOS 6 again?
And yes, I have tried turning off every setting possible to reduce strain of my phone, but it still lags and I can't deal with it. I just want iOS 6 back.

I have not had any experience in getting any devices repaired so I'm not sure which store to resort to. An official Apple store should more than likely get you what you need, but I'm guessing it's probably more expensive. (if any cost for your situation)
I hope you get your problem resolved.

I dropped my phone down the toilet and before I switched it off I sent a text. I have left it to dry out for the last 48hiurs. Is there any hope for my iPhone 5c?

Probably not. First of all, 48 hours is not enough. 5-7 days is better. Secondly, if you did not turn it off the very instant you retrieved it, it probably did worse damage. Even if it powers on, it's very unlikely it will function 100%.

My iPod Touch 4G just shut off one day while i was using tap to post. tried everything and nothing is working not even iTunes! Is there any hope for me? my iPod is my LIFE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! oh by the way none of this happened until i updated to iOS 6.

Is there any hope for an iPhone 4s that cannot access WiFi after iOS 8.1 ?

I bought a "very good" used unlocked 4s on eBay back on Oct 2 ... it arrived with iOS 8 installed ... AT&T folks told me not to load that SW when I went in to move my SIM from an Android phone to the iPhone ... when the saw it was already loaded they were amazed that it would even start up ... but it seemed fine until I got home and tried to set-up my WiFi ... all kinds of problems ... which led to upgrade to 8.01 and then to 8.02 ... all the while hoping to see some fixes ... but things went from not so good to terribly bad ... Bluetooth was off .. and the option to start it was greyed out ( but the little rotating gear continues to run constantly - can't stop that ) ... similarly the WiFi option was off and and was likewise greyed out and inaccessible ... then messaging was no longer accessible ... and to top it all off the phone now discharges in 2-3 hours ... even when powered off ... kind of scary ... but on Mon the 20th I was able to download iOS 8.1 to my Windows XP iTunes (took almost 6 GB to do that - downloads a huge file and then has to extract it, before installing it -- and instead of getting rid of the mess it makes, it puts the no longer needed files in the recycle bin taking up more space -- took me 6 hours to get thru all of that .... and all for naught ... still nothing works ... tried resetting networking ... resetting everything ... useless ... even drove 10 miles to a Starbucks to get a different WiFi ... but nothing works.

You should try these steps:
iOS: Wi-Fi settings grayed out or dim
Symptoms
In rare instances, the setting to turn on Wi-Fi on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch may appear grayed out or dim. You might see the following when you tap Settings > Wi-Fi.
If this occurs, your device won't respond when you try to turn Wi-Fi on. If you're using iOS 7.1, "Wi-Fi Not Available" might appear in Control Center.
Resolution
Follow these steps to resolve the issue:
Restart your iOS device.
Make sure that airplane mode is off by tapping Settings > Airplane Mode.
Reset the network settings by tapping Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
This will reset all network settings, including Bluetooth pairing records, Wi-Fi passwords, VPN, and APN settings.
Make sure that your device is using the latest software. To do so, connect your device to your computer and check for updates in iTunes.
If you still can't turn Wi-Fi on, please contact Apple for support and service options. If you can turn Wi-Fi on but are experiencing other issues with Wi-Fi, see how to resolve those Wi-Fi issues.

Is there any hope for my iPhone 4? - Please help!

Okay long story short, I was at work listening to music and dropped my phone in a sink full of water, but pulled it out within a fraction of a second. I noticed right away the music stopped playing, and the light on the back flashed on. after a few minutes of drying it and shaking it, I tried turning it on, the apple logo flashed on and off a few times but then it just stopped and wouldn't turn on. So when I got home I put it in a tupperwear container full of rice, and left it overnight. in the morning I checked it and it still wouldn't turn on... so after work today (I put in new rice and left it) I took it out, and plugged it into the wall charger adapter I have, and bingo, it turned on! Well... sort of... the battery % is normal, although it can't find it's 3G signal, or my house's wifi. it says to connect to iTunes, and when I try to unlock it takes me to the emergency call feature. there's also a small icon of an 'i' in a circle, when i tap it it says "CCID unknown" or something like that. so I took it off the wall charger and it died instantly, even though the battery was nearly full. it wouldn't turn on now, so I plugged it into my computer, and it still wouldnt turn on, so I tried the wall charger and it worked, but with the same problem as before. I've tried different computers, and outputs and it seems it only works when I use the wall charger adapter, my computer just won't recognize it anymore. I'm thinking there's a problem with the battery, hopefully just some moisture that can be taken out with more rice and waiting... When it goes to the emergency call, and has the number pad, in the background it shows my old picture that I took that was set to be the lock screen picture, so I think that the SD card or whatever the iPhone uses is fine, it's just the battery. Will I have to get it replaced, and if I do, I'm on a 3 year contract and I'm only in about 1 year, will I have to pay the flat $900 to get the new phone without a contract again, or could they replace it with a refurbished one for $159 like the first one? - and if so, could I actually swap it for the white iPhone? I just don't want to leave it in rice for 2 weeks to find that nothing has changed, the suspense is killing me! haha, thanks so much for reading please, leave any ideas on what to do... also one more thing..
-I live in Canada, and there aren't any Apple stores near me, I'm actually not even sure if they have them in Canada, but I was wanting to get a macbook, would I have to order it online, or could I get it at a store where other Apple products are stored, such as the Source or Future Shop? Thanks again!

Ok, what you have here is a basic 'blown fuse' problem.
With the iPhone 3G and 3GS if you drop them in water and they stop working you can almost always revive the phone simply by oepning them up, finding the corrosion on the motherboard then cleaning it and putting it back together.
With the iPhone 4 (and 4S) it's a different story though in that water damage causes a fuse on the motherboard to blow. Once blown, the phones can no longer receive power from the battery. They can however receive power from a wall charger, which is why your phone runs whilst plugged into a charger but dies as soon as it's disconnected. Trying to run it from a USB port wont work either as the 5V power supply gets interupted whilst the phone is booting, as such it dies part way through booting, and the cycle repeats.
At this stage you have 3 options:
-have the phone replaced by Apple, or
-replace the damaged fuse on the iPhone motherboard yourself, or
-send the phone to a company to have the fuse repaired
There is a company that sells the replacement components, and they have an installation sevice too. I've fixed a couple of iPhones in my day, and unless you are very proficent with a soldering iron I strongly recommend having the repair done for you.
See the link below:

Sorry it's not good news, but at least you know what's going on with the phone now and can weigh up your options.

HT1688 Is there any hope for my Iphone 4 after being dropped in the toilet on Christmas

After getting my phone out of the toliet and drying it off..it appeared to be ok...three hours later, I tried to use it and it was off. I put it in rice immediately a few days later it hasn't made a difference. Yesterday, I bought a bag that is for cell emeregencies such as this, and this hasn't helped either. I haven't had a phone for four days...is it time to give up and try to find a new one or hope the drying bag helps? I don't want a new phone, I want to keep this one and hope I can revive it. I dont have insurance therefore, I am scared I will need to purchase a new phone.

I doubt that drying is the issue any longer. You can try putting it on a wall charger, let it charge for at least a half hour and then try to Reset it (hold down the power and home buttons, wait for the Apple logo, let go of the buttons) while it is still connected to power. It may take several tries. If it is working let it fully charge.

HT1688 I had an accident with salt water in my 3g Iphone, Is there any hope for it...?

Beach water got into my phone. I opened it, cleaned whatever i saw, then put it back together perfectly... but now its not turning on at all..
Is there something else I could do...?

nope. Had you not opened it, you could have brought it to Apple for an out of warranty exchange. Now Apple won't touch it.
You can buy a new phone or you can see if a 3rd party repair shop can fix it. Personally, I'd get a new phone. The 3G is a relic now.

After installing iOS 8 update on Iphone 5C, I can't open any files in my emails. Why?

After installing iOS 8 update on Iphone 5C, I can't open any files in my emails. Why?

Hello Rach Ryan
First I would try closing the app from multitasking and then launching it again. To do that, double tap the Home button and then swipe up on the app to close it completely. If that does not work, then I would restart your iPhone.

Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset

In new iphone 5 very first call getting busy tone for all the numbers

in new iphone 5 very first call getting busy tone for all the numbers.

my son had this problem. I went to the apple store and they wiped out and restored the phone.. They said that was all they could do but that I should call our phone carrier and ask them. I did. They asked if in the top left side, next to battery power there was a icon of a half moon. There was. They said to go in to settings and go to "Do not Disturb" and turn it off. I did.....problem solved!!! Somehow "do not disturb" was turned on and that is what happens if it is!!
I hope this helps.

I'm sure your'e going to tell me I just need a new phone but maybe there is hope for my iphone 4. It will not charge past 66% (it's not the charger), it turns off when unplugged, and it will not even let me turn my wi fi to the on possition. Help!

Hi there 8472kck!
I have some information for you that can help you troubleshoot this issue a little further. That information can be found right here:
Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion. Learn about LCIsand corrosion.
Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
After at least 15 minutes, if:
The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen . Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.
If the display turns on, go to step 4.
If the display remains black, go to next step.
Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.
and that information comes from this article:

May i know what kind of leather used in making the iphone 5s casing?is there any possibility using pig skin?

Subject:
May i know what kind of leather used in making the iphone 5s casing?is there any possibility using pig skin?

Actually, Apple does make an iPhone 5s case in leather, but they do not indicate what species the leather is from.
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MF041LL/A/iphone-5s-case-brown?fnode=47
There are number of other companies that make leather iPhone cases though - I've used numerous Sena leather sleeves and cases over the years although I've never inquired what species of leather they use.

I have an iphone and an ipad (which are connected by the same apple id) i broke the phone and sold it but i didnt get to factory reset it because it was broken, is there any way for me to wipe my iphone from my ipad?

i have an iphone and an ipad (which are connected by the same apple id) i broke the phone and sold it but i didnt get to factory reset it because it was broken, is there any way for me to wipe my iphone from my ipad?

Try this:
Open the "Find my iPhone" app on your iPad, fill in your AppleID and password at the start up screen, and you should see a list of all your devices and their current location, if connected to a Wi-Fi or mobile data network. Devices not connected will be shown as "offline". But you can still trap on the icon and hit "erase iPhone" in the right hand window.
If your iPhone is not listed, you did not activate this feature during the setup of the phone and it can't be erased remotely.
If the phone is listed, even as offline, tap on "erase" to send the erase command. The next time your device will be connected to any kind of network, the content will be erased.

I recently gave my old iPhone to my nephew, he switched it to his phone account, but somehow I now have his contacts on my new iPhone 5. When I look at my iCloud account, it lists his contacts. Is there any way for me to get my contacts back?

I recently gave my old iPhone to my nephew, I did not clear out my old phone before I gave it to him, when he transferred to his account, he had my iCloud info on the phone, and it updated the contacts on my new iPhone 5 to his contacts. Is there any way for me to get my contacts back?

This is caused by using the same iCloud account on both phones. When you do this any data you sync with the shared iCloud account such as contacts is merged and will appear on all devices connected to the account. To fix this you both need to have separate iCloud accounts (you can continue to share the same Apple ID for purchasing from the iTunes and app stores).
Decide which iPhone will be keeping the current iCloud account. On the one that will be changing accounts, if you have any photos in photo stream that are not in your camera roll or backed up somewhere else save these to your camera roll by opening the photo stream album in the thumbnail view, tapping Edit, then tap all the photos you want to save, tap Share and tap Save to Camera Roll.
Once this is done, go to Settings>iCloud, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account. (This will only delete the account from this phone, not from iCloud. The phone that will be keeping the account will not be effected by this.) When prompted about what to do with the iCloud data, be sure to select Keep On My iPhone. Next, set up a new iCloud account using a different Apple ID (if you don't have one, tap Get a Free Apple ID at the bottom). Then turn iCloud data syncing for contacts, etc. back to On, and when prompted about merging with iCloud, choose Merge. This will upload the data to the new account.
Finally, to un-merge the data you will then have to go to icloud.com on your computer and sign into each iCloud account separately and manually delete the data you don't want (i.e., deleting your nephew's data from your account, and vice versa).
As for recovering your lost contacts, if they aren't on icloud.com when you check from your computer, you will have to recover them from a backup source. You could try restoring to your last backup but this doesn't always work for contacts. (Chances are you nephew deleted your contacts from his phone, not realizing it would also delete them from yours.)
