IPhone 6 has become unusable, update didn't solve it. Random crashes etc

Hi all,
My iPhone 6 has become unusable.
apps keep crashing, e.g. the native Mail app won't even open.
Whatsapp doesn't show pictures sent
Other apps e.g. web browser Open then bounce straight back to the home screen
There was an update waiting to be installed, the latest iOS version so I tried that but it was in vain.
Any ideas on what to do to resolve this please before a cumbersome factory reset?

That is simply not true. There is a 10+ page thread on this very same subject in the Comcast forums on DSLR.
Some customers on every major ISP in the US (Comcast, TWC, FIOS) are openly complaining about Netflix issues. From what I can tell it depends where you are and time of day. The ISPs are letting their CDN ports get saturated and are making no moves to fix it. Kind of makes sense when you consider they all have video streaming services of their own and that they compete with Netflix.
Other people think this is a Netflix issue...i.e. if all the ISPs are having issues with Netflix is must be Netflix's problem.
The ISPs have been remarkably quiet on this issue. The only recent post I have seen anywhere is in the Comcast Forums:
"We are aware of these threads and the concerns expressed here. We are actively engaged. It is sensitive and we can't really say more than that right now.
JL
National Engineering & Technical Operations"
http://forums.comcast.com/t5/Basic-Internet-Connectivity-And/Is-comcast-working-on-the-Netflix-issue...
So take it for what you will. IMHO this is about all about money and the ISPs are to blame.
Having said all that, CableVision is the one of the very few that joined Netflix OpenConnect, so if Netflix is that important to you moving to them is a very good idea. Most people don't have that option.

Hey Ali.M27,
Thanks for the question. I understand you are experiencing issues with your iPhone during an iOS update. If your issues persist, you may need to restore your device in recovery mode:

My iphone 4 has become extremely sensitive i cant talk on the phone without putting calls on hold, mute or hanging up!! when i'm in a call it's like the screen has become super sensitive to touch! I tried putting a screen protecter but didnt work pls help

My iphone 4 has become extremely sensitive i cant talk on the phone without putting calls on hold, mute or hanging up!! when i'm in a call it's like the screen has become super sensitive to touch! I tried putting on a screen protecter but this didnt work please help?

While on a call, the iPhone display should go black when lifted to your ear. Is this not happening or only happening intermittently?
Have you tried making calls without your silicone case on? Does this make any difference?
You could try updating or restoring the software to try to rule that out as a cause. If the issue remains after restoring then the issue is probably hardware related and may need to be serviced.

My macbook pro has become agonizingly slow, what can i do to fix this problem?

I have a macbook pro, ( os x 10.9.3, Processor 2.4 GHz Intel Core i7 Memory 4 GB 1333 MHz DDR3 Graphics Intel HD Graphics 3000 384 MB )
that has become agonizingly slow and unresponsive. there is always a several second response time after every mouse click and it can take several minutes for any and all websites to open. Even when I open my home page it can take a minute. Is there something I an do to fix this problem. I do have Bitdefender running but it did not seem to affect operations when I installed it several months ago. This is a relatively recent development and getting worse. Help!

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. It will be slow, but should not be as slow as what you describe. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

Lost contacts, slow, crashes, FF has become a brick

Totally given up on FF, and i was a long long time supporter. I moved from IE because it crashed when opening more than 10 tabs. Now FF chokes on 7 or 8 tabs, and "Not Responding" has become the standard mode of FF. Have to close and reopen FF about 5 to 8 times an evening, just to stop all the hangups.
News movies choke and have to spool up, and now all my email contacts are gone. No, not a hotmail/outlook problem because the contacts appear perfectly in Chrome or IE.
Worse, trying to post this question was a root canal, because it says I'm a registered user, but does not like my password, but does not offer a way to reset it. Had to create a new one.
Sorry FF, like an old girl fiend, you were fun while it lasted, but I'm going back to something that works.

Hi Robert, <br /> Sorry you are having problems.
I agree people will give up on Firefox if it behaves the way you describe. Firefox works well for most people. Most do not have any of the problems you describe.
If you wish to give Firefox another try look at his suggestion
* [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]]
That may solve some of the problems, and we should be able to assist you with any remaining problems.
*Are you able to find your old threads in this forum ?
*What is the original user name that you were using ?
*We should be able to reset the password for you. If you wish to continue using the old username let me know and I will give more details.
Would you like to try the reset (note you will loose some information, and extensions.) I suggest you bookmark home sites of any extensions before doing a reset.
Please post back with how you get on.

Since I updated to iCloud, Mail on my MacBookPro 10.6.8 has been unable to connect to MobileMe more than once or twice per day. Mail on my iPhone 4 has no problems. What's wrong?

Since I updated to iCloud, (which may or may not be related) Mail on my MacBookPro 10.6.8 has been unable to connect to MobileMe more than once or twice per day. Mail on my iPhone 4 and my old iMac has no problems. When there is no service a yellow warning triangle appears adjacent to the Inbox and Connection Doctor reports,"Trying to log into this MobileMe IMAP account failed. Verify that username and password are correct." Since it does fetch Mail from time to time they cannot be wrong.... can they? Should I update to 10.7 and if so what does that entail?

You have been using MobileMe's email settings, which sometimes continue to work for a time after migration but then get turned off. iCloud's mail server settings are different. Strictly speaking Lion 10.7.2 is required for iCloud, and on that Mail is set up automatically.
Snow Leopard cannot access most of iCloud's facilities, however you can set Mail up manually to access your email. The method is described here:

The situation with iCloud and Snow Leopard is described in detail here:

My iphone 4 has been stolen. What should I do?

What should I do so the thief can not use it? And is there any way to have it back? The iphone was bought in Europe but it was stolen nor in Europe nor in US.

so guy'z you were saying that if an iphone service like the one you said "find my iphone" has been activated, the phone can be traced and retrieved?
and if the iphone is locked to its carrier i can cancel the service huh? but if it's officially unlocked the thief can easily change the carrier right? and there is no way i can retrieve it.....
and apple CANNOT blocked my iphone to be useless so the thief wont be able to use it...
hmmm big problem for me huh......
anyway thanks for the info you shared!

My Iphone 5 has become nearly unusable since 8.02

Since 8.02 was updated on my IPhone 5 most of the apps take 4 or 5 attempts to respond, sometimes they don't and I have to switch off and switch on again and then they don't always work..... anyone had this problem? Getting really fed up with it now.

Hi brasik,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like you've updated your iPhone 5 to iOS 8.0.2, and now applications are unresponsive when you try to launch them. That's an unexpected result of updating, and I can definitely see how it's frustrating.
Since the situation stays the same after restarting your phone, I'd recommend another step to help isolate the issue.
As mentioned in the troubleshooting guide iOS: An app you installed unexpectedly quits, stops responding, or won’t open, try reinstalling one of the apps that isn't launching.
Delete the app.
Press the Home button.
Go to the App Store and download the app again.
Wait for the app to download, then open it from the Home screen.
If the download stops, you can resume it.
If Apple applications (such as Mail, Newsstand, or Safari) are becoming unresponsive, I'd recommend backing up and restoring iOS using the steps in this article:
Use iTunes to restore your iOS device to factory settings
Best Regards,
Jeremy

Overnight, my iPhone 4 has become slooooow and the battery drains rapidly.

My update to iOS 5 went smoothly and for several days everything was great. 48 hours ago I began noticing a distinct lag when trying to open apps -- I tap on the mail icon, for example, and get a blank screen for several seconds before the queue loads. Same with other apps -- a blank screen, then finally the screen fills. At the same time this occurred, my battery began draining quickly. Went to bed with 100%, nothing running, and the next morning by 9 or so it was at 20%. Only thing that I did with the phone during that 10-hour period was check Weatherbug a time or two, and listen to an audio podcast on the way to work. Does this sound familiar to anyone? Could it be connected to the iOS 5 update even though the problems didn't occur immediately following that update? It's impossible to reach Apple for help without shelling out $29, so I hope someone on here has the smarts to solve my problems. Thanks.

It sounds like you had something using the CPU constantly to drain the battery. And, it's not always apparent except the slowdown and poor battery life. Was the phone warm? That is a sign of heavy CPU usage.
When this happens, just power off/on by sliding the red slider. Do NOT use the "reset". It does nothing more than a normal power off does, and only serves to yank the power without a proper shutdown. It is like pulling the power plug on a running computer. It does *not* reset anything.
