  • I was sent pi- you know 3.14159 but a lot more characters, and it froze my ipad messages app, when ever I open it, it's just a blank screen and it eventually crashes!:( how can I fix this? I've tried a lot of stuff plz help

    It's froze my ipad messages app. Plz help tell me what to do.

    You can backup the iPad and then do a restore to factory condition which will completely wipe it: Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings.  But, before doing that remember, it completely erases everything.
    You then have to restore from a backup...if you have a backup from before the bad message, you can use that and be fine.  If not, you would be better off setting up the iPad as new and then redownload your apps and music...you can do that by going to the app store and itunes and tap the Purchases button and redownload everything.
    You will loose your photos and email, and such in the process, however.  If you have iCloud, put the photos in PhotoStream and then use that to put them back on the iPad.
    Without a good backup from just before the bad message, erasing is going to cause you a lot of work.

  • My phone app freezes and message app crashes. I tried restarting multiple times and the problem persists. Everytime i go to the phone app and press on a contact to call it just freezes up and does nothing. Does anyone know how to fix this problem?

    My phone app freezes and when i press on contact either it freezes or does nothing. Anyone know how to fix this problem? Also messaging app crashes. ANOTHER NEW PROBLEM: I can't receive calls either.

    Try to reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comes back again. You will not lose any data by resetting, but it can cure some glitches.
    If this does not help, setting it up as new device would be the next step:

    This has been fixed in VirtualBench 1.2 for iOS ( https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/virtualbench/id896797834 ).
    The 1.0 and 1.1 versions of the iOS app could not connect to a VirtualBench device with firmware version 1.0.0 because that firmware did not have the FFT math operation.

  • Message app crashes a lot

    Does any of you using iPhone 4 with iOS 5 installed and have the Message app crash daily? It crashes (not always) at the time I pick up a conversation and start typing Chinese using Pinyin input method. I think there is bug but not sure. I am just wondering how many of you out there having the same device and problem as I do and please feel free to leave a feedback.

    Chinese handwriting input (simplified or traditional) crashes all over the places with multiple apps. The respones of displaying the list of selected words after the handwriting input is slower than 4.x but the main problem is that it causes the apps to crash when selecting some specific words, this makes my iPhone4 become useless. Pls fix it quick.
    I am using iPhone4 with iOS5 (9A334).

  • Messages app crashes upon startup

    Since today, the messages app crashes whenever I open the app. I can open texts from notification center when people text me, but the app immediately crashes when I go back to the main messages screen. I have a black 16GB iPhone 4S running iOS 6.1.3. Rebooting the iPhone and restoring it, and then reloading from backup haven't worked. Help would be much appreciated. 

    There is a bug in iOS being exploited right now. One of my so called friends sent me the below string too and crashed a couple of my apps.

  • Why does the Message App Crash after I "Load Earlier Messages" X amount of Times on some Conversations (iPhone 5S; iOS 7.1)

    On some conversations, after hitting "Load Earlier Messages" so many times, my Message App crashes...
    Are others experiencing this?
    Is this a known bug?
    Is there a fix for this?
    Is there a way to avoid this or a workaround?
    I can't see any corelation between conversations that crash and don't crash, it's almost random - as if some conversations were eventually trying to load a corrupted part of a conversation file and crash while others do not.
    Please help! I need to look something up from a few older conversations dating back to June of 2012 and some of the conversations crash the app before I get there...
    Thank you!

    No one else is experiencing this issue?!?

  • My message app crashes on my ipad 2

    Two days ago my message app on my ipad 2 started to crash mid message.  I tried restarting the ipad by holding down the home and power buttons.  That did not correct the problem.  This morning I updated to iOS 7.0.4.  This also did not correct the problem.  I deleted all the feeds I had going with people.  Then started a new feed with one of the people.  It still crashes.  Also, I am unable to delete specific messages in the feed like I use to be able to do.  Is there anything else I can try other than completely resetting the ipad?  Thanks!

    The feature to delete specific messages stopped working today as far as I know.  I was not working before I did the iOS update today.  I did all that you suggested above.  So far the app has not crashed.  However, I still am not able to delete specific messages by tapping the message and then tapping the more tab.  In fact many times when I tap on a specific message, nothing happens.

  • Messages app crashes... safari occasionally - iPad Air

    Purchased since day one and since the second update my iPad Air keeps crashing when I use the messages app for iMessages. Even when I try to delete messages it acts unstable. What boggles me is that my safari is ok and I don't see anyone else having the Messages app problem on here.
    I know nothing about code and such and only the very basic. Any suggestions? I've rebooted, re-installed (new), closed apps, etc. etc....
    Thanks
    F
    PS I love the Air but the crashes are annoying!

    Hi there OriolesMagic333,
    If I understand correctly your Messages and Settings apps are becoming unresponsive when you have iMessage enabled, and you keep needing to restart and/or reset your iPad. I would quit both of the apps first:
    iOS: Force an app to close
    Double-click the Home button.
    Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
    Swipe the app up to close it.
    When you have done that restart the device and test the issue again:
    iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,
    Sterling

    Hi,
    Mostly I agree with softwater
    However I don't think it should be called on launch of the app unless you have the Preferences Open at the Video Section.
    Open the Applications/Utilities folder and then launch Activity Monitor.
    Check the list for vcencoder (lower case and no icon).
    If it is apparently running then highlight it and use the big red Quit button top left.
    Try launching FaceTime (it also uses vcencoder which is part of the VideoConference.framework)
    Does this launch ?
    Does it show you a preview ?
    If the /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/VideoConference.framework/ folder is not there then you will need to restore.
    If it is there we may have to use different methods to access it and reset the app first.
    If it is there can you tell us the contents please ?

  • Messages app crashes while trying to share photo

    Messages app freezes and crashes after trying to share a photo by tapping the camera button... I'd like to add that I've quite literally tried everything to fix this is issue and have searched this entire forum for answers, even called apple 2-3 times and they ran out of ideas as well...  I've reset all settings and content, I've wiped my iPhone and started fresh and manually started adding content back onto my device and the photo share option worked!! Unfortunately it only worked for a day then went right back to freezing and crashing without showing any photos to share.  I can still share photos thru the photos app but that is such a nuisance to use regularly... Any other ideas would be greatly appreciated!!  And im not holding my breath that 8.1 will fix anything because 8.0.2 didn't fix squat... Actually 8.0.1 ruined landscape mode in safari for me and I'm not able to select anything on any website while in landscape

    Problem is now known by Apple. See http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=303604

  • Ipad: photo app crashes while "make new stream" for icloud

    HI,
    I have a problem using the photo app on my ipad (with the most actual ios software IOS7.1). I would like to generate a new shared photostream. When I touch "make new stream" the app crashes and needs to be closed with "doubleklick" on the home button and close it. Otherwise it does not work again.
    I already made a soft-reset, a complete reset of the ipad. I also de- and reactivated the Icloud setting.
    With the same software version on my iphone it works without any problem.
    Can somebody help me?
    Kind regards and thank you very much!
    Clear

    Pleae - does anyone have any input?

  • Messages app crashes on iPhone 6 plus when trying to send a picture from my library

    As soon as I select the camera icon to send a picture in Messages it crashes on my iPhone 6 plus running IOS 8.0.2. It happens every single time. I have restarted the phone several times. I can go to my photo library, choose a photo and send it as a message and that works. I checked the diagnostic information but can't decipher it. Any ideas?

    I had the VERY same problem with a iPhone 6 Plus running iOS 8.0.2. I did a hard reset and a full restore to factory settings and then a restore from a back up- nothing worked. I then read Cal4one's post on turning off the read text function (which I had just turned on days before to try out) and ta-da! all is well! I can now use Messages and when I go to attach a picture, the Photo library comes up quickly (it was not before the chance) and the Message app no longer crashes. Just to be safe, I turned off all reading functions in the Accessibility (settings/general/accessibility/speech) settings.
