Iphone 4 goes into large font

suddenly, when iphone 4 turned on, it goes into a large font, and therefore i can't access the whole screen, and sometimes can't sign on access apps, use phone, because the font size is so large that i only seen 30% of the sceen
why, how, and how to get back to normal

Looks like it is a software bug. Happened to me too. I did turn zoom on many days earlier just to see how it works. Then suddenly many days later it went into super giant font mode and I could not get back to accessibility mode - thans Stedman for the double tapping with 3 fingers (I had tried that several times and it did not seem to work on the main menu, but it did finally work on the general setting menu).
I guess the answer is to just not use the zoom feature

IPhone goes into recovery mode every time it dies?

If my phone battery dies it immediately is in recovery mode and I have to wipe the phone to get it back to factory settings. Can i fix this??? It is very annoying and sometimes my phones dies when I have 30-40% battery still so I am not sure if I can even prevent this from happening.

Hello emmahardman,
It sounds like your phone needs to be restored because it goes into Recovery Mode when the battery runs out, and it sometimes turns off when there appears to be plenty of charge left. Assuming you are restoring from a backup when this happens, I would next time set it up as a new device and test to see if it happens again. If so, reset the phone with the following process and test it again:
Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset
To reset, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons for at least 10 seconds, until you see the Apple logo.
If the issue still keeps happening, I would next seek service for the iPhone:

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the very best,

My Iphone goes into "connect to Itunes" mode, I connect to Itunes and restore, then with 24 hours I get the same message again, any ideas ?

My phone goes into "connect to Itunes" mode and locks up, I connect to Itunes and do a restore and then within 24 hours I get the same message again and the phone locks up. any ideas ?

You're welcome.
A hardware problem doesn't mean complete failure.
With a computer, a hard drive can have a partial or complete failure.
If it wasn't a hardware problem, it would be resolved after restoring the iPhone as a new iPhone or not from the backup. If not, every iPhone running 5.1.1 would have the same problem.

I to use iphoto library manager to save corrupted iphoto and each time it saves some and the first time it brings up iphoto, iphone goes into "not responding" mode. Using mac book pro, iphoto 9.5.1, and maverick 10.9.2.

I've had issues with my iPhoto "not responding" and as a result I am attempting to save my photos to an external hard drive using iPhoto library Manager but each time I start the program it saves some, and then when it starts iPhoto, iPhoto then goes into not responding mode. Using mac book pro, iphoto 9.5.1, and maverick 10.9.2. I have completed all of the photo library first aid steps several times, but it makes no difference, iphoto eventually goes to "not responding." Initial issues started with Time Machine back ups stopping because of iphoto. Thanks......

Do you have a back up?
If you're just trying to recover the photos you can do that much more simply:
Go to your Pictures Folder and find the iPhoto Library there. Right (or Control-) Click on the icon and select 'Show Package Contents'. A finder window will open with the Library exposed.
Look there for a Folder called 'Originals' or 'Masters'. (varies according to the version of iPhoto)
Your photos are inside - these are the originals as imported from your camera.

I am having an iphone 4 and it is not working. i am trying to restore it on itunes directly but it stays at waiting for iphone status with no errors and the iphone goes into a mode where it keeps restarting continuously with apple logo on the screen

I am trying to change the font on my emails and I keep following the instructions exactly by going into preferences, fonts and colours and then choosing - then when I go out of that and back to the message it reverts to Helvetica - what step am I missing?

I am trying to change the font on my emails; I follow the instructions exactly going to Preferences, Fonts & Colours, then I set the preference - I then go back to my message and it reverts to Helvetica. What step am I missing?

There is a display bug, but it still works okay -
I prefer Arial to the default Helvetica, so that's what I set -
When I first open a new message window, it displays Helvetica as the font -
However, as soon as I type the first character, it switches to showing Arial as the font -
...and actually enters in Arial.

Calendar events sent from iPhone goes into Outlook 1 hour late

Dear all,
I've got a strange problem:
- when I send out an invitation (calendar event) from my iPhone to other people - they get my appointment in Outlook 1 hour late to what I set initially
- the same appointment is reflected in my outlook on time I set it on my iPhone - correct (it's all others see it 1 hour late in their outlook calendars)
I was checking time zone settings in both - my Outlook and my iPhone (in Clock settings and in Calendar settings) and they are identical
I did a hard re-set of my iPhone, but it did not helped.
When someone sends a meeting request to me- I see it correctly in my Outlook and iPhone calendar. So the issue appears only when I create and send out event from my iPhone.
This issue drives me crazy and I'm out of any ideas on how to fix it.
Please give a good advise!

I'm actually having a similar issue with ical. Previously, I could put a URL into the field on ical and it would transfer to my phone. This no longer works anymore and I'm using all up to date apple products. Perhaps they mistakingly took this feature off of the Iphone? My notes seem to transfer over though. Not sure if that's exclusively an Outlook thing or not...

Every single time I update my firmware my iphone goes into recovery mode.

I am simply plugging my iphone in and clicking update.
WHY IS THIS HAPPENING?!?
I have had the same problem with my 3G and now my brand new iPhone 4. This is rediculous!!

Itunes becomes unresponsive when connecting iphone/going into preference

Hi!
When I open Itunes it works fine, but it becomes completely unresponsive (doesn't crash, just stuck and does not responds) when I either connect my device (which is recognised by my PC W7 62bit) or when I try to go into preference via the edit tab (same results)
It worked flawless about a month or two ago, I didn't sync since then until this time around. Have not changed anything, and I tried restarting multiply times, waiting a few days, updating, repairing and reinstalling. What can I do?

A preference file may have gone bad for you. (That can produce both sorts of symptoms.)
I'd try a rebuild of the preferences files.
First, quit iTunes if you have it open.
Next, you'll need to make sure you are set up to view hidden files and folders in Vista (or 7).
1. From the Start menu, click Open.
2. In the Organize menu, click Folder and Search Options.
3. Click the View tab.
4. In the "Advanced settings" pane under "Hidden files and folders" make sure that the "Show hidden files and folders" option is selected.
5. Click OK.
Next, you'll rebuild the preference files. We'll do it one at a time, testing connection of devices and trying to go into the preferences after each one.
6. In Computer, open Local Disk: C or whichever drive your documents are stored on.
7. Open the Users folder.
8. Open the folder with the name of the Vista user account in which Pat is getting the Books tab hang.
9. Open the AppData folder.
10. Open the Local folder.
11. Open the Apple Computer folder.
12. Drag the iTunes folder out onto the Desktop.
Now you'll rebuild the preference folder and file.
13. Launch iTunes. This will cause iTunes to rebuild that preference folder and file. The license agreement will appear for you again. (That is expected behavior when that particular preference folder and contained file are being rebuilt.)
14. Go "Edit > preferences, and check to see if there's a hang
15. Attach the device and check to see if there's a hang.
If there's still a hang, you can replace the "rebuilt" iTunes pref folder with the one on the desktop again. Then we'll try rebuilding the other preference files.
16. In Computer, open Local Disk: C or whichever drive your documents are stored on.
17. Open the Users folder.
18. Open the folder with the name of the Vista user account in which Pat is getting the Books tab hang.
19. Open the AppData folder.
20. Open the Roaming folder.
21. Open the Apple Computer folder.
22. Drag the iTunes folder out onto the Desktop.
Now we'll rebuild that one ...
23. Launch iTunes. This will cause iTunes to rebuild that preference folder and file. The iTunes Setup assistant will run. (That is expected behavior when that particular preference folder and contained file are being rebuilt.) *Do not add any files when prompted to do so.* Otherwise you'll end up with a library full of duplicates.
24. Go "Edit > preferences", and check to see if there's a hang.
25. Attach the device, and check to see if there's a hang.
Any better luck with rebuilding the second set of preferences? (If no joy, the ones on the desktop now can be swapped out for the rebuilt (Roaming) set.

IPhone 5 frequently going into no service.

About 2 months back I bought a new iPhone 5 and it turned out be worst phone experience. This iphone goes into no service mode frequently and remain there making me unreachable to anyone trying to call me. I changed the SIM card, switched to another operator, reset phone, reset network etc but the problem does not go away. I hoped the Apple guys would have fixed the problem in IOS7, but even after upgrade the problem repeats.
When I searched online I find lots people with the same problem. It is really a pity that Apple is not able to get the basic requirement of a mobile phone right. I can't understand why Apple is not doing anything about it even though many people are complaining. Probably they have become arrogant to don't care the customers any more. (That will be the begining of their end).
If anyone has any other tricks to resolve this problem, can you please let me know?

Hi Risdian, thanks for the comments and suggestions, however none seemed to lead to any success. When setting the carrier off automatic, after a few seconds of searching the device returns the message, "Unable to load network list", and I have placed my sim into another unlocked iPhone 5 and it worked perfectly, picking up service almost immediately. I can also iMessage and connect to wifi fine, so i don't fully understand the issue.
I guess my iPhone is in need of repair, so if there are no other conceivable 'at home' fixes, i'll have to bring the phone to the apple store for a diagnosis. Any other suggestions or comments would be happily welcomed
Thanks for replying and commenting, you were very helpful

Somehow the font on my outgoing email has become X-large, I have gone into the font area to change it but it will not get off that one size, it is really annoyi

I am not sure how this font changed in the first place but I have tried going into tools and tahen into font. It shows the different sizes and this is on x-large, I try to change it but it still stays on x-large. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you
Carol

Do you compose using HTML?
Is the large type appearing as you compose, or in your recipient's email client, or both?
'''Tools|Options|Composition''' sets the fonts defined to be used in your sent messages.
'''Tools|Options|Display''' sets the fonts used in Thunderbird to display messages.
The fact that there are two separate settings means that you don't necessarily see it as it is sent nor as it will appear to your correspondents.
