You need to restore using iTunes you last sync with.

Try a hard reset. Hold Power button and home button until it restarts. Hold both till the Apple logo is displayed. Do not slide power off.
If that does not work you may need to restore.

The zoom in zoom out gesture doesn't work on my iPhone 5c. Like when opening an app it doesn't zoom out and opens.

The zoom in zoom out gesture doesn't work on my iPhone 5c. Like when opening an app it doesn't zoom out and opens. It also doesn't zooms in while pressing the home button to return. The gesture is just like any other Android phone. Like while closing an app by pressing the home button the icons seem like zooming in and falling back to their respective places. This thing happens in my friends' iPhones but this thing doesn't happen on my iPhone 5C. Please help.. I am unable to find anything wrong with the settings either.

I have another query though. Is it possible to always logged into my Gtalk from iPhone? I am using an app called Gtalk Lite. But every time I double press the home button and swipe up the apps to close them from running in the background Gtalk lite logs me off. I have to log in to Gtalk lite again. I was looking for something like that happens on Android phones. You are always logged in even after you close them from running in the background. And also is it possible to log in to more than one gmail account on Gtalk in iPhone?

Apps frozen in transition after apple genius bar did a hard reset, cant get thru app store either

Went to apple genius bar after 6 hours of trying to fix iphone 4s: couldn't send/rec photo txt msgs, get voicemail alerts, update software upgrades or back up files in icloud. They did a hard reset and fixed those issues, however the majority of my apps are frozen in either blank grey boxes or dim grey boxes with app icon showing, they saved my contacts to icloud and pics to dropbox (which is now a frozen app that I can't access). Does anyone know what my next step is? I have only had the phone 6 months and don't wanna re buy but I use for work too so need to know whats going on? Also tried to install totally different app from app store and couldn't.

Hi there 80sbaby1!
I have an article here that can help you with the grey apps that you are seeing. It appears that those apps may not have fully re-downloaded onto your iPhone, and this article will provide some insight into resuming those downloads:

I also have a website for you that can help you with some steps for troubleshooting that may resolve this issue. The website is an iPhone troubleshooting assistant, and can be found right here:

Apps on the new iPhone 5 say they are open in app store but when i click on the open button, nothing happens.

I have a new iphone 5. When i download an app it doesn't automatically appear on the homescreens. When I go into the app store I can locate the app and it says it is open. However, when I click the open button nothing happens. I have tried turning off the phone, resetting and restoring. I have signed out of itunes and then signed back in. Nothing is working. When I sync with my macbook pro, I add the new apps to the homescreens and apply but they still don't sync. Please help!!

This is happening right now to countless users. I suspect a server problem. Wait a day and try again.Or let itunes update and then sync (itunes seems to be working for this, I just used it to update apps that do not appear in the update page on my device).

IPhone 4 locks whenever i open certain apps

My iPhone 4 randomly locks when i open some apps. First, it fills the screen with dark lines, and then it locks. I think it was because my uncle, who gave it to me yesterday, dropped it hard once. Is there a way to fix this? or nah?

and it has some problems with the color blue

Iphone 4 hard reset atleast 2 times a day

Ever since i got my iphone 4 32g i have had to do a hard reset atleast 2 times a day. Out of the blue it shuts down and doesnt turn back on unless i hold the two buttons for about 30 seconds. I restored it to factory like they asked and still it does it. Also if im listening to music and the phone rings it wont let me swipe to answer. Anyone else experience this.

If it still does this after a restore as new with only the default apps on it, then I would return it and get it replaced under warranty. There is no other troubleshooting you can do.

IPhone Passcode + Hard Reset

Well I think I've found the answer to part of my question using search, but I wanted to double check with the brilliant minds of this board.
I recently had my Iphone 3G stolen...very traumatic!
I have an original first gen Iphone that I'd like to use while I dig up the cash to buy a 3GS. But the problem is I cant for the life of me remember my passcode on that phone.
1. Can I put the phone into recovery mode by holding both buttons and simply lett it hard reset / wipe everything clean ? (Which is fine, cant imagine i would need anything off my 2 year old phone)
And 2. Can I sync a first gen with my current iTunes and restore everything even though iTunes was currently setup syncing to a 3g ?

It didnt work!! I even used the recovery to restore it and it says "cannot complete" because I dont have my passcode ? Any other ideas ?
