IPhone 4S ios7 message notifications not going away

My "messages" icon shows that I have 6 new messages but I've read them and they are still showing up as a little 6 in a red circle. I've done a reset of settings, a full restart and everything. I turned off my iMessages and nothing is working. They aren't iMessages they are text messages all from the same number.

This has happened to me twice after updating to ios7 on my iPhone 4s. Both times it occured after recharging the battery directly from a household electrical outlet. The first thing to do is to turn off the phone, and then turn it back on. This has worked for me so far.
From Apple's ios 7 user guide http://manuals.info.apple.com/MANUALS/1000/MA1565/en_US/iphone_user_guide.pdf
See page 150 for restarting instructions. Basically, just turn the phone off. Wait a moment, then turn it back on.

  • App Store notifications not going away - what to do?

    iPhone 3Gs.  App Store on the phone shows three apps in need of updating, but those apps have been updated in iTunes, and the phone has synched several times since then.  Why are the notifications not going away, and is ther a way to sort this out (without having to update the apps on the phone - they are on different accounts, and it is a pain to have to log in again for each app).

    Apple has had an issue earlier with the iTunes Store and various aspects of it's operation. It's mentioned here:
    http://www.apple.com/support/systemstatus/
    It may take awhile for it to totally clear though.
    In the meantime, try the following: Shut down the App Store/ iTunes Store apps from the Multitasking bar:
    1.From the Home screen, double-tap the Home button, find the iTunes Store/App Store apps (drag the icons left/right) and swipe up on their respective screen captures, NOT on the icons at the bottom. This will close them.
    2. Wait about one minute for the apps to close off
    3. Reset the device:
    Device Reset (won't affect settings/data/music/apps/etc)
    1. Press and hold (& continue to hold) BOTH the Sleep/Wake button & the Home button.
    2. Continue to hold BOTH (ignoring any other messages that may show) until you see the Apple logo on the screen.
    3. Release BOTH buttons when you see the Apple logo and allow the device to boot normally.
    After the reset, try to open the Apps Store and see if the updates notification has cleared.

  • My 4S battery died as a message was incoming, "Unread message" icon not going away

    My phone battery died as a message was incoming. Now when I charged it and turned it back on, the little red 1 on the message icon was there. I opened the message, read it, then went back to the home page..but the icon is still showing one unread message. I rebooted my phone, it went away until i opened the message icon, when I closed it again the 1 came back. Whenever I receive a new message, it just adds to the total, showing 2 even though there is only one!
    Any help?

    You could simply clean out any muck in there with a soft brush.

  • Samsung Brightside calendar notification not going away

    Why doesn't the calendar notification disappear when there are no scheduled events on my Samsung Brightside?

        Thank you for this information, summersrn28. That is definitely very strange. Let's give this a try. I recommend setting up one or two events, and then either waiting for the schedule notification date or time to arrive, or canceling them right away. This can possibly make the random notification go away.
    Please keep us posted.

  • How can i reset my app store setting? i have signed in and out with my own apple id but i used a different one at first and that one is not going away

    How can i reset my app store setting?
    I have signed in and out with my own apple id but i used a different one at first a few years ago and that one is not going away how do i change it to my own apple id?

    Content and Apple IDs -
    Content is forever tied to the Apple ID that bought it. Apple does not transfer content from one Apple ID to another. Apple does not merge Apple IDs. You will never be able to access your content bought with one Apple ID with a new Apple ID. Your only option is to delete the content and buy it again with the new Apple ID.

  • My messages are not going through or coming in from other iOS devices.  Having to send and receive in SMS.  What is up?

    My messages are not going through or coming in from other iOS devices.  Having to send and receive in SMS.  What is up?  Anyone else having these issues?

    There's an article that Apple has acknowledged this issue. They recommend turning off imessages, reset all settings and then reactivate imessages.
    If that doesn't work, you may just have to wait until they release an update, which should be pretty soon.

  • Mouse not going away

    I'm having issues with the mouse icon not going away on a quicktime movie I'm running for an artwork at a museum. I have a computer set to start up at a specific time and then a applescript to run on start up that opens the movie, loops it, and sets it at fullscreen. Everything works fine expect that the mouse icon won't hide and sits on the top of the movie. This only seems to be an issue when it starts up in the morning automatically, not when I manually restart the computer. Any ideas?
    Many thanks!

    Hi mcrocka:
    Welcome!
    Press the Option / Apple / esc keys at the same time. That will bring up the Force Quit option.
    Then make imovie 'quit'

  • I'm syncing my Iphone 4 and it's not going passed backing up stage. Part 2 out of 6. What do I do?

    Hi so I'm syncing my Iphone 4 and it's not going passed backing up stage. Part 2 out of 6. What do I do?

    Unless your iPhone is jailbroken, there is no spyware on it.  There is no way for spyware to be downloaded or installed.  You don't really explain why you think you do.  As far as I can see, the Fortinet app is just an app providing information about their services - it isn't performing any functions on the phone itself.  Not clear what relevance you think the Norton security on your computer has to do with it.
    You might want to do something about that bug that is extracting all the punctuation from your writing though.....

    If you had iOS 7 BETA installed, just go to developer.apple.com and log in using your developer account.  There are discussions about this issue.  Otherwise...  for non-developers, I'm afraid you're on your on.  Use Google.
