IPad3 screen freezing & apps not working: Settings, Reminders & Calendar
Updated my ipad3 to ios 6 this weekend. Experiencing several issues with the screen freezing in Settings, Reminders & Calendar.
Tried to reboot, backup and restore with iTunes, but no changes. The Calendar and Reminders are still not working.
Any ideas on how to resolve this issue?
A few notes:
Not able to access the "Mail, Contacts, Calendars" in "Settings". Does not go to the screen. Freezes the "Settings" screen. Forced quit the Settings app.
Not able to make changes in the "iCloud" in Settings. The circle spins endlessly with no results.
Calendar is blank (only showing a blank opened book).
Reminders is blank.
I use iCloud to sync my calendars between a laptop, ipod touch, desktop, and ipad.

Hi Don,
(I have those options turned on in Sharing on both computers.)
Turn off Printer Sharing on the Book & reboot, it won't look past itself for a printer in 10.4.x if that is enabled. But it seems there are more problems than just that.
Thanks for the tip, I turned it off on the PB, but yeah, more problems
Very Important, how much Free Space is on your Hard Drive first of all? Click on the Macintosh HD on the Desktop, then do a Get Info on it.
74.4 capacity, 29.76 available, 44.64 used. I have done a Diskwarrior rebuild so hopefully it is at least arranged well. Still running 10.4.0 on it because I didn't update it after doing the 2nd Archive and Install
My backup FW is also an 80 gig and shows:
74.4 capacity, 36.24 available, 38.16 used. Running 10.4.11 on it. I think the main HD might have less available because I have now tried two Archive and Installs? Previous System 1 showed about 5.86 gigs of use and Previous System 2 just showed "calculating".
Boot off your original Install Disk , then run the extended Apple Hardware Test. Some disks require you to use the Option key at bootup to select AHT. Some models have a separate AHT CD.
I had the disk and ran the extended AHT, and it all passed.
Here's something I have noticed, when I boot from either the PB main drive or the FW, and open Activity Monitor, the CPU shows major usage for a long time, often pegging the CPU usage meter. In the Process Window, there is something called "mdimporter" that seems to be eating a lot of processor. After 10-15 minutes (approx), the CPU settles down to just showing light usage. I don't recall ever seeing the CPU usage pegging like that upon a fresh startup, I often keep the little floating CPU window on the desktop and it never used to run like that.
Here's the list and downloads for AHT for some G4 models if you don't find yours, some G4s only have it on the Original Install Disc...

Screen freezing/apps not loading on Iphone 6 plus!?
Have only had my iPhone 6 plus for one week..my phone screen keeps freezing and now apps will not load!

ssince I updated my iPhone 5s to ios8 ive had nothing but problems...
first the the screen rotation is not working... Checked the settings and lock is off.... The wifi is intermittent, some times it works sometimes it doesn't....
the he iPhone is really slow now, like really labouring.... It hangs and crashes all the time.... I have to close apps down completely because they won't work from quick launch anymore.... Even writing this the phone is labouring.... It's like my old 48k spectrum.... I don't expect this from Apple and when you spend £400-500 on a phone you expect it to work and play propperly.... come on Apple you need to sort out this mess of a update.... Ios 7 was no bother......Same issue here... iphone5S 64GB. It's intermittent. Sometimes the rotation works fine, sometimes it doesn't, but most of the time it doesn't work.
The first time I figured out it wasn't working was when all newly-taken photos and videos were showing up in portrait mode though I always hold in landscape mode when photographing.
Rotation lock is disabled (tried toggling it on and off). Tried recalibrating the compass on a whim, no effect (although my compass seems to always require calibration when it's launched now).
This issue only started happening after upgrading to iOS8. I did a reset/restore through iTunes rather than an OTA upgrade.
UPDATE - power-cycling the phone seems to fix it temporarily. -

facebook and facetime app not working on my ipad3,ihave reinstall facebook app 3 times but no success and fbapi error domain occurs,facebook works properly on safari
Ok, this is what I figured out after 4 hours of testing. Restoring as a new device didn't help for me. Also hard reset, re-installs, unchecking and checking all notification options did not help. I installed facebook messenger but also this program did not have notifications (all my other notifications work.....)
As my wife deactivated her account I made up a new test account and logged in on my Iphone 4S. Surprisingly this new account had no notification problem at all. The problem is I had been testing with messages all along (and not with reactions on wall posts). It now turns out that all works fine on my original account except for notifications of private messages (or you can call them chat messages). They will simply not work on my original account but work perfectly on my new test account.
The only difference between the test account and the original acount is that I a have an active user account (FB is doing some testing with acttive users so that they receive lesse indicidual mails by gving those users the option (a check box) to receive overview mails) . See also http://socialsunil.com/facebooks-summary-email-feature-for-active-users/. Could this be the reason I do not receive private message notofications?
I do not know but I definitely know this is an account problem and not an hardware or software problem. So to all of you try to log in with a different or test account to corner the problem. Please react on this post if you have a solution. -
I cannot access my mail. When I try I just get a blank divided screen which is frozen. Also in settings when I press the mail calendar icon nothing happens except the settings screen freezes. Not very computer literate.
Close the Mail app in the Task Bar and re-launch.
Double-click the Home button to reveal Task Bar. Hold Mail app down for a second or two; tap the minus sign to close app.
If it still doesn't work, try a reset.
Hold the Sleep and Home button down (together) for about 10 seconds until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the red slider. -
I'm using iphone 5s with ios 7.1.2 & I am facing a new problem after every missed call. i phone gets freezed on its lock screen. It seems that its main screen touch is not working properly. It should be bug introduced by apple . This problem occurs after each and every missed call .There is no patch announcement for this issue yet. There are few workaround to fix this issue: Reboot your iphone. But its irritating to reboot the phone frequently after each issue....
Hello dipthebe,
Check out the articles below go through troubleshooting steps for your iPhone when the screen is unresponsive. You may want to try and restore your iPhone as a new device and then test out what happens when you miss a call to see if the issue is still present afterwards.

Default Mail app not working with yahoo mail. Won't update.
Default Maill app not working with Yahoo Mail.
It stopped working the other day. I tried everything but it wouldn't update new mail. The yahoo account itself is fine because I can see new mail on Yahoo or a yahoo app.
I tried deleting the account and putting it back on, but now it has 0 mail in any part of it. Nothing has synced.
What do I do?
iPad 2 latest OS.A lot of people have been unable to access Yahoo e-mail on their iPhones or iPads. My wife’s iPad was not downloading Yahoo mail, although her iPhone was. Both used IOS 8.2. We tried deleting the account several times and troubleshooting all of the other settings. The problem appears to have been that allowing the IOS to automatically create the account on the iPad resulted in the wrong settings for the incoming server. The following procedure, pieced together from two websites, fixed the problem for us. So far, so good.
https://portal.smartertools.com/kb/a2659/configure-imap-for-iphone-or-ipad.aspx
https://help.yahoo.com/kb/mobile-mail/imap-server-settings-sln4075.html
On the iPhone, tap Settings.
Tap Mail, Contacts, Calendars.
Tap your Yahoo account, then delete it.
Tap Add Account.
Tap Other.
Tap Add Mail Account.
Complete the Name, Address (email address), Password and Description fields.
Click Next.
Ensure IMAP is selected.
Enter the following incoming mail server information:
Incoming Mail (IMAP) Server - Requires SSL
Server: imap.mail.yahoo.com
Port: 993
Requires SSL: Yes
Hostname is mail.yahoo.com.
Username is your full email address
Password is the same password used to access webmail.
Enter the following outgoing mail server information:
Outgoing Mail (SMTP) Server - Requires SSL
Server: smtp.mail.yahoo.com
Port: 465 or 587
Requires SSL: Yes
Requires authentication: Yes
Username is your full email address
Password is the same password used to access webmail. It may have been entered for you.
Tap Next.
The iPhone will establish an SSL connection to your IMAP and SMTP servers.
That’s all! -
my weather icon built in app not working ??? anybody help please
First try opening multi tasking by double clicking the home button and scroll through until you fine weather app, hold it until it start bouncing and then delete it. Then try opening it again and see if it is working. If not repeat the previous step and then reset your device by holding the home button and the lock button simultaneity until screen goes black then release. Wait until device restarts and try the app again. If the problem still exists than back up the device either on its home computer or through iCloud reinstall the software. If it comes to this step there are more in depth tutorials online: just google it. Tell me if this helps.

Apps not working over 3G for iphone 5 (iOS 7)
I have i5 & recently updated to iOS7. Very frequently, my apps don't work over the 3G network, however, they do so over Wi-fi. Fb, emails, whatsapp and many more apps dont work over 3G. Safari works. Have tried resetting network settings and hard reset, but no solution. The trend for apps not working is very random, sometimes they do work, sometimes they don't. Its very irritating. Anybody with a solution.
i dont know whether this is going to resolve the problem, but worth a try
under settings>cellular
when you scroll down
you can choose which apps can use cellular data
may be you can recycle the switch for the suspect apps -
Apps not working with docomo after updating new sw...
hello brother,
i have updated my nokia c2-00 sw v3.99 .
After updating new sw v.3.99 my apps not working with tata docomo only .
Docomo is my personal sim-card.
What can do for get ride it.
Solved!
Go to Solution.Hello, Premkoli. Which specific apps are you referring to? Are these apps downloaded from the Store, or preloaded ones? When you say 'my apps not working with tata docomo only', does it mean that these apps work with other SIM cards aside from TaTa Docomo? How did you update your Nokia C2-00? Is it by going to Settings > Phone > Device Updates > Check for updates, or via Nokia Suite?
Since the issue started after the software update, you can try to reinstall the phone's SW via Nokia Suite. Just download it on your PC, and then connect the phone via a compatible USB cable. After that, launch Nokia Suite, and the go to SW Updates > Device Software Updates > Reinstall current SW. After that, try opening the same apps and see if they'll work with your Docomo SIM card. Get Nokia Suite from this link: Nokia Suite

Apps not working on my I phone 4 when i turn on wifi they work fine ?
apps not working on my I phone 4 when i turn on wifi they work fine ?
That leads me to suspect that your cellular data is either turned off or not working.
Check Settings > General > Network > Cellular Data and ensure it is ON.
If it is, try Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
If neither of those resolves the issue, contact the carrier to troubleshoot your network/account issues with them. -
My Nokia Asha 200 Social Apps Not Working
Hello ,
My Nokia Asha 200 Social App Not Working .. Please Help me .. I Buy Last Day Nokia Asha 200 . Nokia Asha 200 is Nice Model . But it have 2 to 3 error in Asha 200 . So Please Help me .Hi babyboy,
Please could you try to perform a soft reset on your device using the code *#7780# security code 12345 by default if prompted. It is best to create a back up on nokia suite before performing the soft reset, you will not lose any data however it will reset your device settings to factory conditions.
If it is still not working, please try and remove all your profiles from your social app, restart your device and re-sync them.
Let us know how you get on and feel free to post any other questions you may have.
