IPhone 4 becoming completely unresponsive for no obvious reason.

My iPhone had been charging overnight with no previous problems ever encountered since i first bought it just over two months ago.
After checking the time on it (apparently working fine), i got up half an hour later putting the iPhone in my pocket.
WHen i next checked it, it had become totally unresponsive and seemed to have completely died.
It had definitely been fully charged and plugging it in to a charger has no response.
Plugging into a computer also has no response.
Attempting to reset by holding down sleep+home for ten seconds also carries no response.
Very frustrating and and i would be very grateful for any help recieved

Ochman, the same issue happened to me, simply hold down both the home and power buttons for 10 seconds then release the power button while still pressing on the home button. The apple logo should pop on screen and the phone should start loading again.

  • Everytime I open Firefox it functions for a matter of seconds before freezing and becoming completely unresponsive, what can be done about this?

    After freezing up today(which it has done from time to time before), Firefox has now become completely unresponsive. I have repeatedly attempted to restart it but the program will freeze up almost immeadiately every time, each time requiring a close via the task manager.
    Nothing has changed since last night except for this unresponsivness. I just tried uninstalling my older version and downloading the current version but the problem has persisted. What else can I try?

    I have the same problem on two Windows 7 x64 installations.
    Firefox 4.0.1
    Addons in common: Firebug
    Firefox does not crash, it just becomes unresponsive, but the moment it becomes responsive again (couple seconds to 15 seconds or more,) it will just become unresponsive again. There is next to no CPU usage and there is nothing running in the background that could possible slow it down. I also notice that FF momentarily will stop responding for around 1/2 to 1 second. Then continue to be fine. I'm finding that Chrome is acting up as well but IE is working fine. I also found that Google.com seems to exacerbate the problem.

  • I'm running Windows 7 and occasionally, Firefox will become completely unresponsive and grey out, then none of my programs will open at all, including the Start menu, forcing me to use a hard restart and shut down. Any help would be appreciated.

    I'm not able to close and restart Firefox at all, since the computer becomes completely unresponsive, save for mouse input. Task Manager is also of no use.

    Believe it or not, anything on the Desktop uses 3 times the Resources of the Mac than if stored elsewhere, I can note a slowdown from just 30 items on the Desktop on a really fast Mac, so the less the better on the Desktop.

    At this point I think you should get Applejack...

    After installing, reboot holding down CMD+s, (+s), then when the DOS like prompt shows, type in...

    Then let it do all 6 of it's things.
    At least it'll eliminate some questions if it doesn't fix it.
    The 6 things it does are...
    Correct any Disk problems.
    Repair Permissions.
    Clear out Cache Files.
    Repair/check several plist files.
    Dump the VM files for a fresh start.
    Trash old Log files.
    First reboot will be slower, sometimes 2 or 3 restarts will be required for full benefit... my guess is files relying upon other files relying upon other files! :-)
    Disconnect the USB cable from any Uninterruptible Power Supply so the system doesn't shut down in the middle of the process.

  • Everytime I put my Mac Mini to Sleep, Finder becomes completely unresponsive.  How do i fix this?

    Hi,
    Everytime I put my Mac Mini to Sleep, Finder becomes completely unresponsive.  I've tried several Terminal commands to kill/quit/relaunch it, but nothing seems to work.  Once my Mac has been put to sleep there is nothing I can do to get it back after I have woken it up.  I always have to restart my computer, and even then, I have to hold the power button to shut it down because it will never fully shut down from the restart.  I have a feeling that Finder is still running in the background and not allowing the mac to shut down.  I'd rather not have to reinstall my OS.  Does anyone have any idea what may be causing this problem?
    Thanks,
    Andrew

    Hi Andrew, what all is connected USB wise?
    One way to test is to Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, Test for Sleep/Wake problem in Safe Mode...
    PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive
    Reboot, test again.
    If it only does it in Regular Boot, then it could be some hardware problem like Video card, (Quartz is turned off in Safe Mode), or Airport, or some USB or Firewire device, or 3rd party add-on, Check System Preferences>Accounts>Login Items window to see if it or something relevant is listed.
    Check the System Preferences>Other Row, for 3rd party Pref Panes.
    Also look in these if they exist, some are invisible...

  • I installed the Beta yesterday and FOUR times it has locked up for no obvious reason, so i had to return to the latest 3.6 version. Do you have an answer for this problem???

    I do a Google search it locks-up. Other times it locks up for no obvious reason. I am using Windows 7. I never have any problems with the latest version of 3.6.
    Even if I shut it down, I cannot open it again without re-starting my computer. So for me right now the beta version is useless!!!

    Apple doesn't monitor all the threads, so the best thing to do is send in feedback:

  • Satellite L450 crashes for no obvious reason

    I have a two month old L450 running "windows7".
    Within a week of purchase and for no obvious reason, the screen went black with a blue message box in the centre.
    It only remains on the screen for a few seconds before shutting down so I don't have chance to read the message.
    This has happened on a number of occasions since.
    The only words I have managed to see are "crash dump" and something about removing hardware.
    Is it possible to press a key when this happens to enable me to read the screen and is ther a "Problem Log" as in "Vista" that would enable me to see what the problem is?
    I could return it to the supplier but as the fault is intermittent the chances are it would not show itself.

    Hi
    In order to disable automatic restart follow this:
    - right click on My Computer -> Properties
    - On the left click Advanced System settings
    - Click on Setting button in area Startup and Recovery (its a last third area)
    - Remove the mark from the Automatically Restart box .
    - Click OK and Apply the settings.
    Now you will get all the details on the screen after the notebook has crashed again.
    Why this happens?
    Hmm this is not easy to say in many cases its just a software/driver issue.
    Try to update the driver/graphic card driver
    You should also check if your BIOS is up to date.
    As you know Win7 is a new OS on the market and there could be also an compatibility issue with different 3rd party applications installed on your system
    So be sure that Win 7 is also up to date!

    My iphone 4s stopped charging for no apparent reason...

    Hey guys,
    I have the same problem with a brand new 1  month old iphone 4S.
    It was perfect then last night I had this issue of not charging or not even recognizing that it was plugged in to charge. I have tried everything from a hard reset to trying different cables and outlets but o change. I am back to my old Nokia now and it kinda hurts. Quite the downgrade
    BFH 2011, did you sort your issue out? If so any help would be much appreciated!
    Thanks in advance!

  • For the last week or three Firefox refreshes two or three times for each refresh, and sometimes for no obvious reason..

    For the last week or three Firefox refreshes two or three times for each refresh. Sometimes it refreshes for no obvious reason. For instance, I'll be in the middle of typing into a forum's post block & it refreshes. Or filling out an online form. Or simply viewing a page.

    You can check for issues caused by an extension that isn't working properly.
    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.

  • Why had iTunes become completely unresponsive?

    Over the past few months itunes has become increasingly unresponsive, I now hate the those spinning colours.  I have a large movie and music library stored on an external hard drive (WD 1.5 TB) and I have used just over half its capacity and it connects to a desktop Mac 5 (bought in 2009 I think?).  Every action is met with the spinning colours, scrolling a library to pick movies to download to my iphone 4s can take 30 minutes and syncing a movie to the phone takes over an hour.  The final straw has been IOS7 which I installed yesterday.  Every item I try to sync to the phone fails.  I don't use the cloud as I haven't got my head round why it works for me (I get how it works in general terms)
    I'm sure there's an easy fix or theres a capacity issue but right now I'm soo out of love with all Apple products I feel like scrapping the lots and starting again with a PC and Android.
    Please let me know if there is anything I can do to speed things up,  this feels like I have a ZX Spectrum and I'm back in the 80's
    Thanks

  • Iphone 6 gets hot for no apparent reason

    For no apparent reason, the iPhone 6 gets very hot.  I have found that I must turn the phone completely off and then start it again.  It then starts to cool down.  WHY does the phone get physically hot?

    Try resetting your phone. Press and hold down both the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons for 10 seconds or so until the Apple logo appears then let go. You won't lose any data.
    There are a number of things you can check to improve battery performance in this article. https://www.apple.com/ca/batteries/maximizing-performance/#ios
    If none of the above help then the next step would be to Restore. Use iTunes to restore your iOS device to factory settings This will erase everything on your phone so back up your data first.

  • Firefox UI becomes completely unresponsive in debugging mode.

    I'm using Firefox for web development, and set breakpoints with the `debugger` keyword, or the breakpoint UI in the "Debugger" section of the "Web Developer" tools. I remember that used to work on older versions, but recently it started failing.
    Now, when I enter debugging mode (i.e. hit a breakpoint), the debugger UI shows, but it is completely unresponsive: the mouse cursor doesn't change when I hover over any widget, and clicking does nothing.
    The only way to get any response is CTRL-r refresh which *sometimes* works, as well as closing the entire Firefox window. Of course, that means I can't actually use it to debug.
    I'm on Xubuntu 13.10, running latest stable 64bit Firefox (3.1.1). I also verified the exact same bug on the nightly binary release (firefox-36.0a1.en-US.linux-x86_64.tar.bz2) as well as the recently released Developer Edition (firefox-35.0a2.en-US.linux-x86_64.tar.bz2).

    HI dunpealer,
    Please do file a bug on this and make sure to put version 35 and os linux on bugzilla.mozilla.org.
    I am sorry it took so long to get back to you, I also can reproduce this. If you have any questions about bugzilla we are happy to help here as well.
    Thank you!

  • Iphone 5c makes sound for no apparent reason

    I am posting this on behalf of a friend. She just got a brand new iPhone 5C and she loves it, but at random times throughout the day, it plays a sound for no apparent reason. There is no notification, no email, no messages, no alarm... we've been through all the sounds and notification settings. We did identify the sound as "Popcorn", but nothing she on her phone that we can find actually uses that sound. It is driving her crazy. She has very few apps on this phone - Find My iPhone, Allrecipes, AskMD, Pandora, 70's Radio and MapMyWalk. We went into each of these apps to find sound settings and, if they had one, we turned it off. Her phone is possessed! Please help us find the source, as we are going crazy.

    Try resetting your phone. Press and hold down both the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons for 10 seconds or so until the Apple logo appears then let go. You won't lose any data.

  • TextField shakes for no obvious reason.

    I've been trying to fix this problem for hours and I'm ready to give up. Here's is the set-up:
    I have a pretty simple MovieClip moving about the stage.  The MovieClip has some shapes and a TextField on the top.  Basically, it's a balloon with a word inside. For some weird reason, when the clip is moving, the text inside shakes (not a lot, just a couple of pixels in random directions).  This is very annoying and I can't find any reason for it inside the .fla file or the class files.
    If you have seen anything like that, please share your wisdom!

    Yes, the font is embedded.  I tried different fonts.  You can see from the screenshot that I'm using Times New Roman now.
    I'm moving the balloon programmatically.  The code looks like this:
    onEnterFrame(
    balloon.x + = speedX;
    I just realized that the speedX is not integer and Flash probably can't render text "in sync" with a shape if it's not aligned to the pixels.  So, I tried rounding speedX before incrementing the balloon position.  That solved the "shaking" problem, but obviously the movement is not smooth anymore, the balloons "step" instead of "glide".  So this solution is not acceptable.  Any good ideas?

    I left my iphone plugged up to the charger next to my bed all night. The next morning it is completely unresponsive. black screen. pushing the power on/off doesnt work and plugging it to the computer doesnt work as well what do you think is wrong with it. I still have a warranty
