IPhone 4S model loses its signal, freezes and must be rebooted. Any ideas?

Any suggestions on fixing a 4S IPHONE (32GB) that drops signals, freezes and nust constantly be rebooted?  The problem is worse after the last update.  I am trying to help a friend.  Thanks, everyone!

Back up and restore via iTunes. If the problem continues, restore as a new device and test. If the problem is solved, there is some kind of corruption in the backup file. If it continues, take it to an Apple store for evaluation of a possible hardware problem.

    Im Using iPhone 4. i connected to my home WiFi router for browing internet.. Sometimes its automaltically disconnected and must i off and on it again for using.. why its happening?

    Look on the support pages for your WiFi router for a firmware update for the router.
    It's hard to say much more without knowing the make, model, and version of your WiFi router and how you have it configured.

    Hi, Mommacat26. 
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities. 
    This usually means that a required component is missing.  Start with completely uninstalling iTunes and all of it's components in the order specified in the article below.  Once this is done, download and install iTunes.

    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1925
    If you receive any errors when uninstalling any components of iTunes, try the steps in the article below for each component that gives you an error.
    "The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable" alert appears when removing Apple software in Windows

    If the issue persists, try installing the Apple Mobile Device Support driver.  See the section labeled Verify that the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is installed > For Windows XP or Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8 > Update the Apple Mobile Device Driver.

    Why did you restore without transferring your music to your computer?
    If you are in the U.S., then you can use the newly released beta version of the cloud to get your music.

  • MacBook  Pro screen glitches out, gray lines appear on it then my computer freezes and must be restarted sometimes it will beep 3 times when restarting and other times it won't. Is this a virus?

    I have a MacBook Pro running mavericks. Sometimes the screen glitches out, gray lines appear on it then my computer freezes and must be restarted sometimes it will beep 3 times when restarting and other times it won't. Is this a virus, software issue, water damage, etc? An error message usually appears after being restarted. It does it all the time please help.

    No Virus. You have a Hardware Problem. 3 Beeps means a RAM problem. You could try Reseating the RAM is its sockets.
    But that wouldn't necessarily cause the screen to Glitch Out, as you say.

  • TS3276 An email sent from my iMac has a button linked to a clip hosted on Vimeo. When received, the link functions on iMac and iPad, but opens a window of app icons on iPhone and iPod touch. Any ideas what's wrong?

    An email sent from my iMac has a button linked to a clip hosted on Vimeo. When received, the link functions on iMac and iPad, but opens a window of app icons on iPhone and iPod touch. Any ideas what's wrong?

    For anyone else reading this thread, it is worth knowing that sometimes an email is, or can be, corrupted thereby jamming the works. The solution above is good, but I just wanted to suggest another one.
    If the problem arises, go to an online mail access service, such as Mail2Web.com and login to you mail account there and delete the offending message.
    Problem solved.
    And George, as this is all entirely voluntary, whinging about no takers may not endear people to you. Besides which, a few minutes of searching on Google would have found you a number of solutions.

    Hi! i believe there is no preinstalled app than can do that for you, however you can use a third party software, such as this: http://www.bitworks-engineering.co.uk/Apps/TimeLock_App/Welcome.html or this https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/parental-timelock-time-limit/id689577280?mt=8

  • "Lightrrom couldn't update the format of its catalog file and must quit. ..".

    I had no trouble updating my small catalogs but my large one I tried several times. After around 45 minutes I see a dialog box that says
    "Lightroom couldn't update the format of its catalog file and must quit. Your previous catalog will be restored".
    Any help on how I can get LR to open the catalog. No problems with the integrity check. The catalog was working just fine in version 1.0.

    I had the same issue.
    Fortunately I had backed up up my db before the upgrade.
    I exited then restarted LR and created a new db - so it would start.
    With my backup copied to a safe location I then opened the backup db. The conversion completed successfully and everything appears OK.
    Hope this may help

  • I lost my iphone, got a new sim card and put it in my boyfriend's old iphone. When I synch it in itunes it will only synch with his stuff and not mine. Any ideas how I can get it to synch with my itunes??

    I lost my iphone, got a new sim card and put it in my boyfriend's old iphone. When I synch it in itunes it will only synch with his stuff and not mine. Any ideas how I can get it to synch with my itunes??

    Are you using a Mac? It sounds like you are using his computer to sync to. If this is the case, then it will sync to all of his stuff unless a new user is created with your personal stuff on it.
    When you want to sync your iPhone to that computer, switch to your user first, and then everything will sync with your stuff. If he wants to hook up his iPhone to sync it, then he needs to switch back to his own username first.

    If you live in the US launch the iTunes store, then tap Purchases, then the "not on this phone" tab. If you don't live in the US you will have to buy them again, unless the iTunes Store support staff takes pity on you when you email them with a request for help.
    BTW, how many songs can you download between daily syncs?

    If the silent switch is off, no change after inserting and removing the earbuds or headset cable a number of times, and the same after restoring your iPhone as a new iPhone or not from the backup, your iPhone has a hardware problem.
    The iPhone includes a one year warranty.
