Iphone 3gs freezing/screen flashing between password screen and turning off timer. Any ideas what to do please?

can you help please? Phone having funny fit, screen flashing between password screen and turning off timer. Then screens merging.. Yuk!

Hey kathlovesparis,
First, I would reset the device:
Resetting your device
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
via: iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting

And if that doesn't resolve the issue then I would backup the device to iTunes and restore it. Just be cautious and back up first, since restoring deletes all content and settings:

IPod is flashing between sync screen and music screen and beeping like mad

I just bought a few songs and wanted to sync them onto my iPod. But when I plug it in
the poor thing goes mad! It flashes between the snyc screen (the one with the power level on it.)
and whatever song I was listening to last play session.
It has never done this before.
I am running Windows 7 64 bit and have the latest iTunes update.
I have the iPod touch 8GB bought somewhere around 2007 i think.
I know its old, but so am I..........haha

Since I posted I decided to try plugging the USB cord into another port.
It seems my iPod was tired of the USB hub. So now it's plugged into my keyboard.
It's syncing, so far so good.

You should plug the iPOd directly to the computer. Not through a hub or KB or other device

Lock screen and other app stuck on zoomed mode

I noticed that my lock screen is stuck on zoomed mode. When I'm in my home screen it's in standard view. Also I'm having the same issue with my apps. Apps like Pinterest, Tumblr, Swarm, Twitter looks fine but other apps like Facebook and Instagram are all stuck on zoomed mode. How do i fix this?

Hello iankyliu,
It may be that the zoom accessibility feature has been enabled. The article linked below details how to go about turning it off.
iOS: Home screen icons are magnified or large

Otherwise, it may be Display Zoom that's enabled, which is explained in the iPhone User Guide.

IPod Touch screen switches back and forth between lock screen and start-up screen.

iPod Touch 4th Generation
My iPod Touch screen has been showing the Apple logo with the loading wheel then it will switch to the lock screen. It keeps going back and forth. My iTunes and iPhoto programs recognize my iPod when I plug it in, but it's the iPod itself that doesn't seem to be working. I've already tried resetting it using the Power and Home button, and restoring it using iTunes. I can't turn the power off unless I reset it. It's still continuing to charge on its own but it won't let me unlock the screen.
I haven't dropped it so I don't know why it's like this. I've just had this replaced literally a month ago, so I'm not sure what's wrong with it.
Anyone experiencing this problem or know what to do?

Have you tried placing the iPod in recovery mode and then restoring it. For recovery mode see:
iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore

Check the Settings app to make sure the correct Setting is there to allow showing the Control Center in apps.

IOS Beta 7 OTA, iPhone 3GS stuck flashing between Apple Logo and a white screen

After installing iOS Beta 7 OTA, iPhone 3GS is stuck flashing between Apple Logo and a white screen. I can turn the phone off by holding the top button. But the phone boots straight to the flashing situation. It doesn't appear in iTunes, and I haven't succeeded in putting into recovery mode.

in the end ... i did it too.
for sure, the problem is not related to OTA update
this is my recipe, even if i think that the behaviour is a kind of random and all the recipes given here do not really help
- absolutely needed: cross your finger before running the procedure
- leave the battery run flat
- open itunes
- connect usb
- when it starts booting, press home and keep it pressed
- if it loops (it will ...), try to turn it off with power button while keeping home
- after a few tries, it will not reboot and it will go into recovery mode BUT WITH SCREEN BLACK (you see it is in recovery mode in itunes)
- upload ios5b7
anyway ... this time it was a bad release by apple ...
and i think this thread will become very "popular" in the next days

Windows 7, and I open window, which then flashes across the screen and is then hidden (only on my screen--the other users are able to open Firefox). What can I do?

There are several different user screens on my computer with each users programs. We all use Firefox on our Windows 7 desktop. However, for the last week, when I hit my Firefox icon, a small window flashes across the screen and is hidden. However, it shows the open window and the default site on the Task Bar, and I cannot browse, although Firefox still works on the other users' screens. What can I do to use it again and still save my Favorites/Bookmarks?

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

My ipad showed a blue screen and shut down.

My ipad showed a blue screen and shut down. I cannot restart it. A soft restart did not work. I tried connecting to iTunes on the PC but it did not detect the device

Did you try resetting the iPad?
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears- let go of the buttons.
If that doesn't do anything, try this for the issue with iTunes not seeing the iPad.

When trying to save a bookmark to a specific pre-established folder the window disappears and will not allow me to make a selection. If I hover in the area it will flash on the screen and disappear again, it's annoying please help!

When I attempt to save a new bookmark and want to save it in a folder the window that typically appears just below the address bar will not stay on the screen. It flashes on the screen and as soon as I move my cursor over it, it disappears. It will not allow me to make a selection of any kind. If I randomly hover over the general area the window will flash back in view but disappear again just as quickly. If I then show all my bookmarks, the bookmark was saved and I have to move it to the folder I actually want it in. Just a few extra steps, but still very annoying. Please help!

DID YOU FIND A SOLUTION???I HAVE TH ASAME THING AS WELL
