IPhone 4 iOS 7 frozen on backlight

I bought me iPhone 4 8gb through Verizon in the beginning of this August 2013. Wednesday a software update appeared offering to update to iOS 7. I did so having no problems at all, well tonight Saturday Sept. 21 at around 10pm, (it's now 12:30) anyways I was saving a contact and selected an image to save, after zooming and scrolling I pressed save, at that moment my iPhone literally froze up, non-responsive first seeing the image on the screen then completely stopping freezing on the backlight. I have tried both the home plus lock buttons and nothing same with just the lock button and sliding where the power off button would be, and still nothing. The phone is barely over a month old, and I did upgrade to the iOS 7 if that has anything to with it. Either way it is still stuck on the screen. Please help.

If your iPhone continues to be unresponsive when you unlock it, you may want to try the steps in our iPhone assistant:

  • Hello, so today I realized that my iPhone with iOS 6 is frozen on the music. I can get back to the home screen but I can't get the music player to work because its frozen on the w's and will not respond to touch. I would be grateful for any help on this.

    If your Music app is unresponsive, try restarting/resetting your iPhone:

  • Itunes delete my music in my iPhone 4 iOS 6.1 I'm new mac mini

    ahen connect a iphone 4 ios 6.1 to new mac mini all of my music vidoe was delete , after i sync to the new mac mini , how can i restor , i did a bucup.

    I'm having similar issues just lately. The phone itself is very slow to respond to the touch, just scrolling between home screens is a chore at times. There have been about 2 incidents of random vibration from it. Closing home screen folders takes a couple of attempts. I find that I'm also having delayed keyboard responses when typing messages to my contacts.
    Also, sometimes when I press the sleep/wake button it takes about 30 seconds to register it and actually lock or wake up.
    Have you experienced the backlight failing to light up? Like if I get a message it flashes up then goes black straight after and when you press the sleep/wake or home button it lights up again but very very dimly and you have to press the sleep/wake button as if locking it and then press it again to bring the screen up properly?
    Mine is also on 6.1.3(10B329), model MD245B/A, obviously not Jailbroken, carrier unlocked from Vodafone (but that was months and months ago). Roughly 17gb of storage space left.
    This has only started happening in the last 2 weeks. Haven't tried the reset or anything yet though.

    And this happened in the same way to my second iphone 5.
    what to do ? help me please .

    Hello xdx59
    When you are unable to update on your iPhone and it appears to be stuck at the progress bar, the first article will give some troubleshooting options to get it back up and running. If you are still stuck, then the next step would be to follow the steps in the second article which would have you restore your iPhone.

  • IPhone 5 outgoing messages frozen on one thread

    Messaging on my iPhone 5 (IOS 8.2; AT&T) is generally working fine but there is a hangup on one joint message thread to my daughters.  Message line says "Sending 1 of 3" but it has been frozen for a couple days; nothing will go out.  I can't find a way to cancel whatever 3 messages it is referencing as being sent.  No incoming messages on that combined thread, either.  I can send to them individually but not on the shared thread. This is a new problem and we've been communicating on this tread for a long time.  No issues with other threads.  Both daughters have iPhones - both 6s, I think.  How can I resolve this?  Thanks.

    Try Reset by Holding both Power and Home Buttons together till Apple logo appears.
    If this does not help, seek an appointment at the Genius bar for evaluation and possible replacement.

  • Cannot send or receive yahoo mail or gmail from iPhone . installed ios 6 recently. tried rebooting the phone and deleting the email account and adding again but nothing works ! can someone suggest a solution?

    cannot send or receive yahoo mail or gmail from iPhone . installed ios 6 recently. tried rebooting the phone and deleting the email account and adding again but nothing works ! can someone suggest a solution?

    Not sure about yahoo, but for gmail, I done the following:
    Set up using Exchange on iPhone, it'll keep prompting for password.  On PC use captcha option, log in to gmail account from PC after completingg captcha option, enter password on iPhone.
    See how that goes for gmail, let us know.
    Hopefully someone will have fix for yahoo.

  • IPhone 4 (iOS 5.0.1) Won't Sync Movies

    My iPhone 4 (iOS 5.0.1) stopped syncing videos a few days ago, and removed all the videos I did have on it. Everything else is syncing fine. I double checked that my iOS 5.0.1 & iTunes software (10.5.1) are both up to date. The same goes for my MacBook Pro OS X Version 10.7.2.
    iTunes seems normal as if it synced fine, but the "video" app on my iPhone says "No Videos. You can download videos from iTunes." And when I search for specific movies on my phone, none is found. I did a master reboot on my phone, but am hesitant to restore my phone, too, because I always have to re-arrange apps afterwards. Apparetnly, iTunes will remember every setting about my phone except app folders.
    Even though this is an Apple problem, it refuses to help me at all, because my phone is already a few months old. Any help from you would be appreciated.
    Many thanks!

    I have exactly the same issue iTunes 10.5.1 / iPhone 4s (iOS 5.0.1) - impacts Movie and TV Show synch in the same way as described above.

  • IPhone 4S iOS 7 not syncing - stuck on "determining apps to sync"

    Hello all:
    My upgrade to iOS 7 started out smoothly enough, but now I have a problem. When I attempt to sync via USB, I get to step 3, "Determining apps to sync," and the sync doesn't go any further. I've tried it a couple of times now, and my current attempt is at 20+ minutes of just sitting there at the same status. Clicking the x in the status box doesn't cancel the sync. I have to force quit (or disconnect) for it to stop.
    In the process, my contacts and calendars were erased on my phone, but are still in iCloud. I don't think anything else is missing. All of my apps in iTunes are up to date.
    System info:
    iPhone 4s
    iOS 7.0.2
    OSX 10.8.5
    iTunes 11.1.1
    I can't think of anything else to share. Is there any hope of getting out of this loop? Thanks!

    This is very irritating I have a new iMac ($5000) an New ipad ($1000) when I sync the ipad to iTunes I get stuck at "determining apps to sync".  I cant even shut down the iMac.  I thought apple didnt make junk. ***

  • IPhone 4 iOS 5.0.1 stops receiving calls and text messages

    Hi all,
    My iPhone 4 (iOS 5.0.1) suddenly stopped receiving calls and text messages. However, I'm still able to send them.
    The workaround for fixing this issue is to make an hard reset to the iPhone.
    This only occured with 5.0.1 version. It's very annoying because I'm not able to know if it's working or not (I can only suppose that it's not working when I'm a long period without receiving calls/messages)
    Do you know how to solve this ?
    Thanks in advance!

    First, who really cares what you do?  I certainly don't, and I doubt the vast majority of users on this forum don't either.  Ridiculous statements like that just make you look stupid.
    Second, this is a user to user technical support forum.  I saw a lot of whine here, not a question.  What is your technical support question?
