  • Why does my iPhone 4s stop midstream and return to home screen?

    Had my phone checked at genius bar yesterday and they say everything is working just fine. But midstream of different applications, it stops and returns to homescreen. I try turning off and then on again, and it continues to happen, with various applications. Any thoughts? Also not holding charge as I think it should........

    Thanks. I am reviewing the apps. I wonder if the number of photos, which is quite large, on the phone could somehow be contributing to faulty operation. I want to get the photos off the phone, but don't want to lose them on the computer. Do I turn off cloud backup from phone? I know this is off subject, but just wondering if this could be part of the problem.

  • Running ios5.1.1 on original iPad. system constantly crashes and returns to home page when on the web. using safari.

    Running IOs 5.1.1 on original Ipad. System constantly crashes returning to the home screen when in internet. Using Safari browser. is there anything I can upgrade or clear to help??

    There are a few things that you could try. First try clearing Safari's cache : Settings > Safari > Clear Cookies And Data and also Clear History
    If that doesn't work then try closing Safari completely and then re-open it : from the home screen (i.e. not with Safari 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Safari app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
    A third option is a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • My iPad Air will suddenly quit in the middle of an application and return to home screen.

    Can anyone tell me why my iPad Air will suddenly stop in the middle of an application, (usually a game), and return to
    my home screen?  Thanks

    (A) Try reset iPad
    Hold the Sleep/Wake and Home button down together until you see the Apple Logo.
    Note: Data will not be affected.
    (B) Close all apps in the multi-task window
    1.Double-click the Home button.
    2. Swipe the app's preview up to close it.
    3. Preview will fly off the screen.

  • HT204266 My App Store keeps struggling to load up. Requests frequently time out and searches just don't do anything. If it does load up a search, the iPad closes down App Store, returns to home screen and, upon re-opening, the search has been deleted. Hel

    I've had my iPad (retina display) since last year. Over the last few weeks the App Store struggles to load on occasion and times out completely. When searches do rarely complete, the App Store closes down and returns my iPad to the home screen and, when I open the App Store again, it has just reset the store, forcing it to load all over again. I've tried closing all running background applications, with no difference being made. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    1. Double-click the Home button to reveal Task Bar
    2. Hold the App Store app down for a second or two until you see the minus sign
    3. Tap the minus sign to close app
    4. Re-launch the app and test
    Note: If necessary close all apps in the Task Bar

  • Why do all my apps never open and return to home screen?

    I installed my apps, but now every time I try to open one I am immediately returned to the home screen and can't use anything. Any ideas?

    GREAT, thanks for the fix to a bizarre problem that was driving me crazy! You can always count on Apple discussions, can't say the same about this whole "2.0 transition", it's been a bit rough and I can't get push contacts or calendars from MobileMe to work, but I'll give things a couple of days to get back on track.
    I had a strong feeling things would be difficult today after the WWDC keynote, particularly the whole push functionality given the myriad of syncing problems we've had to deal with in the previous non-push world

  • Mail inbox shuts automatically and returns to home screen

    Hi everyone,
    My iPhone3GS mail inbox displays and even updates for a few seconds then quits automatically to the home screen every time. This only started happening after only 4 days of usage without no apparent reason. I am devastated as I need to send emails on the move. Worked fine for the past 3 days though and I haven't done anything unusual at all.
    I have noticed a few threads regarding this issue but I haven't seen any real answers so far.
    Can anyone help? Thank you.

    Well I had some success in correcting this situation. I have five accts with one of my earthlink accts causing all the problems. I had gone through all the suggested corrections and much more many times over with no success. This last time here is what I did...
    1 I deleted the offending acct from my iPhone
    2 I reset my iPhone
    3 I went into the webmail portion of my earthlink acct and deleted all emails that were not from my contacts list. This included all the junk, spam and returned emails for the first 50 emails. I made sure that at least the first 25 emails (as that is my setting on the iPhone) were clean.
    4 I reset my email acct password on the webmail
    5 Then restarted my iPhone
    6 I added back my offending acct
    7 It reloaded the first 25 emails, which were now clean of spam and whatever else might be lurking
    This solved it, at least for now. I had previously done all of this many times over, except for the clean out and re-passwording of my email acct. So it would seem that offending emails can cause the iPhone to crash. Maybe it has something to do with the lack of a Junk filter on the iPhone. I don't understand enough of these things to know, but it all works for now. Hope this helps someone.

  • Contacts cause crash and return to home screen after iOS4 upgrade

    After upgrading our iPhone 3GS to iOS4, it crashes when clicking on contacts from the Phone app. The Contacts app itself will not open. This is making it extremely difficult to even use the phone to call anyone.
    The same issue is also described in the following forum posts:
    http://discussions.info.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=12041826&#12041826
    http://discussions.info.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=12002288&#12002288

    Check Settings > Store and make sure the Apple ID that is shown is the same as the one used to buy the apps in question.
    Also, try a Reset (hold down the sleep and home buttons, ignore the red Off slider, wait for the Apple logo, let go of the buttons).

  • My photos will not load on the iPhone. Both directly accessing 'Photos' and from 'Camera roll' results in applications shutting down by itself and returning to home screen

  • When I enter the website, Firefox stops responding and I have to end the process from the Task Manager. How do I solve this problem?

    I am running Firefox 4.0 beta 7 on Windows XP Tablet Edition OS. When I enter this site using Firefox, the browser stops responding and I have to end the process using Task Manager. However, when I open it with other browsers such as IE8, I am able to view the site as per normal. This only happened when I updated my browser to Beta 7 and I did not have such problems in the previous betas.

    There is [[Flash]] content on that page.
    Do you have a problem with Flash on other websites?
    Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
    See [[Basic Troubleshooting#Make_a_new_profile|Basic Troubleshooting: Make a new profile]]
    If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile (be careful not to copy corrupted files)
    See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Transferring_data_to_a_new_profile_-_Firefox

    its when i start windows (windows 7 HP 64bit) or when i click in device manager on graphic card, on interner when I surfing ... ordinary work, nothing heavy for notebook like this :-)
    i changed driver - standard uninstall, then cleaned pc with cc cleaner and install new driver
    error still continues saying that ...
    i tried nvidia drivers and official from toshiba support. both same. problem stayed.
    can anyone help ?

    > can you upload driver somewhere ? I mean graphic driver the mentioned version

  • When trying to open a link in the page I am on and open it in a new Tab the browser stops responding.

    I open the browser and the Hime Page opens as expected. When I open a link to an item or article on the page in a new Tab Firefox stops responding and thye top line on the screen shows that to be the case. The only way to resolve the issue is to exit or close Firefox and start again. This has just started yesterday (Oct 12) as before that the process worked fine.
    When I open a new Tab and then type in a new web site it will open and allow access with no problem, provided I have not open a link as outlined in the first paragraph. I can open several tabs in this manner and Firefox works as expected. But if I try to link from any page and open in a new Tab i get the "not responding" situation again.
    After closing Firefox so I can restart it, the browser will open but the first screen will be a blank tab rather than my home page. I can open web sites and Firefox proceeds as expected as long as I do not try to open a link from within the page in a new Tab. I get the same "Not responding" situation.
    If I immediately close Firefox after it opens without my homepage and then restart it then my home page will open as expected.
    I have not made any changes to programs or setups in Firefox or on my computer in the immediate time before the problem started.

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
    *Do not click the Reset button on the Safe mode start window or otherwise make changes.

  • HT1414 When I search for stuff on the internet it says safari could not open the page because the server stopped responding and non of my games work either. What do I do to fix this?

    When I search for stuff on the internet it says safari could not open the page because the server stopped responding and non of my games work either. What do I do to fix this?

    Settings → scroll down to Safari → in Safari settings, I selected both Clear History and Clear Cookies and Data.
    IF that does not work -
    Restart or reset your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
    Finally - if problem still present -
    Go to Settings>General>Reset
         Reset the network settings - you will need to add the password of your home WiFi in your phone once more
    The device should turn itself off & back on then go into Settings>Wifi and join your network

  • Display driver stopped responding and has recovered successfully

    Hi everyone!
    I  sometimes have recently  been encountering this error 'Display driver stopped responding and has recovered successfully' .
    This is the version of ATI RADEON Graphics adapter.
    This problem is happening recently (let me say about five months ago)
    I really don't know what may be causing this problem. However, I have created a virtual machine before about only 3 days with these settings:
    Host machine has Windows 7 home premium (64Bit), and the mount of memory available is as follows:
    Physical Memory
    Memory Usage 34 %
    Total Physical 5.95 GB
    Available Physical 3.89 GB
    Total Virtual 12 GB
    Available Virtual 9.43 GB
    Guest machine has Windows 7 home prmium 64bit, and the mount of memory available is as shown below,  I really  needed to this RAM memory size because the Windows  7 got very slow with less than this size.
     Host machine has Graphic adapter with memory size of 6GB
    guest machine hat his video adapter settings below, because I really needed to this video memory size.
    But, as I said I have been facing this error for about five months before VM was created.  Thus, I don't think that the problem is related with VM's video display.
    Also, sometime when visiting some sites containing  video files needing Adobe Flash player, I was faced with that error and the browser got non-responding and then, it got closed.
    It would be highly appreciated if you could help me with this.

    Hi Cooperator ,
    As I see , your catalyst is from 2011.You can use AMD Driver Autodetect Tool.The AMD Driver Autodetect Tool is designed to detect the model of the AMD graphics card and the version of the Microsoft® Windows operating system installed in your computer. If a new driver is available, the tool is designed to help you download it. After a successful download of the driver, the tool will provide you an option to install it.
    Download page:
    http://support.amd.com/en-us/download/auto-detect-tool
    After that ,open Catalyst control center, and set your programs to  performance that you want to run.
    It should solve your problem , this error comes when graphic card need more time that win register alow (about 2sec) , and with right drivers , it shoul fix it.
    Wish you good luck and all the best!!!

    Thanks a lot,
    When I tried downloading the tool from that link you provided as circled in this screen shot below 
    After amddriverdownload_installer was downloaded, I run it, then another wndows showed me
    Then after download completed, 
    this show me.
    I found the tool cannot be downloaded due to incompatible hardware/software on my computer,
    Although tool couldn not be downloaded, there are some files in this locatin after clicking install.
    As aside, this window below showed me while downloading the tool, then I don't know what let it show me.
    Is it OK or should I uninstall it if it were installed
    Also, AMD Gaming evolved was installed without asking my permission.  
    It is installed as 'Raptr.exe' in this location  'C:\Program Files (x86)\Raptr'
    Also, whenever my Windows 7 got started, this windows showed me, although I didn't set any account for this, there is accont longins as you see in this screen shot belw.
    This raises another question which is what created this account shown above?
