Iphone 5S freezing in apps with iOS 8

Since installing iOS 8, my 5S is consistently freezing up in apps. Especially facebook but others, too. I couldn't use my calculator app earlier today because it froze up as soon as I opened it. I have over 25 Gab of storage remaining on my phone so that's not the issue. Anyone else experiencing this?

Hi sharon710,
If you are having issues with failing to respond frequently, you may want to try some things to troubleshoot.
First, quit all running applications and test again -
iOS: Force an app to close
Next, I would try restarting the iPhone -
Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset
If the issue is still present, you may want to restore the iPhone as a new device -

How do I backup voice memos from iPhone 4 to my Macbook with iOS 6.0?

How do I backup voice memos from my iPhone 4 to my MacBook, with iOS 6?
I have synchronised them a hundred times but iTunes just doesn't backup my voice memos. And I haven't seen a playlist called "Voice Memos" on the left sidebar either...

Look for Voice Memos under Genres in iTunes.
With the phone connected, click on its name on the left. Then click on the Music tab on the right. Is "Include voice memos" checked?

IMac 10.6.8 will not recognize iPhone v.4.12.09 with iOS 7.1.1

I cannot get photos from my iPhone version 4.12.09 with iOS 7.1.1 to appear on the desktop of my iMac running 10.6.8.
It will not open iPhoto nor will preview recognize the iPhone as being connected. No way to get newly taken photos to iPhoto.

Have you just tried opening iPhoto manually to see if your iPhone will show up that way?
Have you tried shutting down your Mac and doing a PRAM reset?
Resetting NVRAM / PRAM
Shut down your Mac.
Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command (⌘), Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
Turn on the computer.
Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys before the gray screen appears.
Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
Release the keys.
After resetting NVRAM or PRAM, you may need to reconfigure your settings for speaker volume, screen resolution, startup disk selection, and time zone.

(Mavericks) iTunes keeps crashing on sync "This iPhone is already syncing apps with "%1$S"

I updated my MacBook Air to Mavericks yesterday. When attempting to sync my iPad2 and iPhone4 this morning, iTunes keeps crashing on me.
There seems to be some issues with what it thinks my computer name or my Apple ID is. It keeps referring to them as %1$S
Check out this screenshot on the device Summary page of iTunes, It may be hard to make out the text since the image was resized upon uploading it:
The the top circled item reads "This iPhone is already syncing apps with "%1$S"
The second circled item is the incorrectly sized Check for updates button
The thrid circled item (left) are my Apple ID name and computer name, both referred to as %1$S
The fourth circled item (right) is the text "Do you want to allow this computer to access information on "%1$S".
Is anyone else having these issues after upgrading to Mavericks? Any resolution?

Nevermind, found that there is also an update that Itunes needed this morning to be compatible with Mavericks. After updating all is fine.
Not sure why iTunes update required for Mavericks was not included in Mavericks, but whatever. Hope this helps anyone else who had this issue.

My iphone 4S Black 16 GB with IOS 7.0.4 turns off randomly in low battery less than 15% and also when I am taking pictures from my front camera in low battery of 30%. This is happening very often. Can someone help here with advise?

My iphone 4S Black 16 GB with IOS 7.0.4 turns off randomly in low battery less than 15% and also when I am taking pictures from my front camera in low battery of 30%. This is happening very often. Can someone help here with advise? The phone is slightly more than 2 years bought from singapore I live in India

Either your battery is failing or your battery gauge needs to be recalibrated. Start by recalibrating:
When it shuts off charge for just a minute or two, then restart (hold HOME and SLEEP until an Apple logo appears). Deliberately run the battery down until the phone shuts off at 1%. If it shuts off above 1% repeat the above until you get to 1%. Then charge for 4 hours with the wall charger without using the phone. This process will recalibrate the battery gauge.
To prevent this from happening again about once a month run the battery all the way down to 1%, then continue until the phone shuts off. Apple recommends this in their battery help article, but they don't say why you should do it. The have some hokum about "keeping the electrons moving." Honestly! The iPad battery tip gives the correct reason.
If this does not resolve the problem you most likely need a new battery. If you are near an Apple store take the phone in and they can test the battery for you.

The easy and quick way to fix this is to connect your iphone to itune...
1.Go into your iphone (Top right of itune).
2.You'll see 3 different topics in bold - Iphone, backups and options.
3.Go to options and uncheck all the boxes (make sure you remeber what was been check before you uncheck anything in the boxes).
4.Check only - manually manage music and video and press apply (bottom right of itune).
5.Wait for it to finish the process (it should delete everything).
6.Then it is up to you.... either go by each tap and sync each one (info, apps, tones, music, movies, TVshows, podcast and photos) or uncheck manually manage music and check whatever it used to be before you unchecked everything.
7.All done, Everything should be working perfectly.

IPhone 6, iphone 5S, iphone 5C freezing and crashing in iOS 8.1.2-8.1.3

ive got 3 phones and they all exhibit the same behavior. mostly when opening an apple app the phone will freeze- especially the phone app. It took an hour befote I could access the key pad to dial apple to try and get my iPhone 6 that I bought yesterday replaced.
All three phones do the same thing: Apple apps crash or freeze, sometimes will go back to normal, sometimes have to restart the phone. It's worse on the iPhone 6.
On the iPhone 6 all Apple apps function about 30% of the time. Third party apps seem fine but anything related to the system cannot work. Several resets and restores later it's still the same.
IMessage asks me me every few minutes to log in as well.
i have never had such a negative experience with a phone before- calling and text messaging is impossible. even after the latest restore it froze on the iCloud login page for 10 minutes.
IMia this a software bug or hardware. All I could get from calling service is "I don't know, it's a new one for me."

Jeez, the keyboard lags behind so much and the keys seem offset

I can't seem to be able to download apps with IOS 8. I have been able to with other IOS 7 and IOS 6. Any suggestions?

I Can't seem to be able to download (or update) any apps on IOS 8.0, and I have been able to download apps on IOS 7 and IOS 6. I have 5.2 GB of available space on my iPad (4th generation) and I have only used 7.1 GB on my 16GB ipad. I have a full two bars of Internet. Again I have been able to download things with two bars in the past using IOS 7 and IOS 6. Any suggestions would be helpful. =3 Sorry for the incorrect spelling

You might try just waiting. There are millions of people activating their iPhones today and people still trying to get iOS8, so the servers are swamped. I'd give it a couple of days and if it still doesn't work then try some troubleshooting.

My iphone 4s doesn't work with iOs 8. Battery drains very fast!!

After installing iOS 8 I'm starting to hate my smartphone. With iOS 7 the battery lasted until the evening while now barely reaches mid-afternoon with the same use of the phone and being careful not to leave apps in the background. I'm afraid to use the smartphone to save battery power ... frustrating!!
I ask Apple to release as soon as possible an upgrade to fix all the problems with iphone 4s or enable us to return to iOS 7.

My iphone 4s gets too hot with ios 6

Hi Everyone. Just joined the community. I noticed since I upgraded to ios 6 on my iphone 4s it has been getting too hot when in using it. i noticed it would get hot when using maps and playing games. it would not get this hot too quiclky on ios 5.1.1. I also read that some iphone 5 users have the same problem as well as 4s users with ios 6. Can anyone give me some feedback and info. on this ? Hopefully there will be a fix for this soon.

Mines never did that until recently. It depends on your usage and apps.
It's basically normal to get hot, especially charging. Now if you talking about oven hot then you have a
Problem. All my friends iphone 4s does it, so it's normal. Streaming videos while multi tasking can cause it also.

TS1702 Unable to install apps with iOS 6

After i update my iPhone 4s with iOS 6, I am unable to install apps. Is there any other way other than what's mentioned on this article?

Just to clarify previous message.
1. The article I mentioned was the link above, iOS: Troubleshooting applications purchased from the App Store
2. All items mentioned on the said article has been done but issue still exist.
Please assist.
Thanks in advance!

IPhone started freezing after upgrade to ios 5. How can I fix this

iPhone 4 was ok up till iOS upgrade, since the upgrade my phone freezes and I always have to perform a hard restart. I have even restored phone to factory settings still the same sad story. Anyone else with the same problems

You have encountered the anti-theft Activation Lock. You must enter the required information which is the "old" Apple ID. You will have to try and recover the password here:
https://appleid.apple.com
If unable to do so, try to contact Apple Support:

Click "Other Apple ID Topics". If you are unable to enter the information, you iPhone is a brick.

IPhone 4 Freezes during WiFi use (iOS 6)

Hi,
Every time I use WiFi on the iPhone it freezes. It connects normally, loads the app (mostly facebook, I have to check some messages) and then the screen freezes. It doesn't respond on on touch commands. I can lock it, press the home button and exit the app, but the screen is still frozen. I am not able to close the app and turn off WiFi. I have to wait a few minutes, every time the amount of time is different, and then I can use the phone for a few seconds and manage to close the app and turn off WiFi. After that the phone works normally. One time I wasn't able to even unlock the phone for 30 minutes so I had to walk away of the location and lose the connection to be able to unlock and use the phone. I don't know if it's only a WiFi problem or are some apps the problem, because I mostly run some apps during WiFi use.
Is anybody familiar with this kind of behaviour? Does somebody know how could I fix this and is it a hardware or, hopefully, a software problem?
Thanks in advance.

I was only able to restore the phone after booting into Windows and using the Windows version of iTunes. Kinda pathetic.

IPhone 5s battery drain fast with iOS 8.1.2

I have iPhone 5s from 1 year. After updating to 8.1.2 battery draining fast. I needs charge the battery 3-4 times a day. I did the restore as new, but no change. Stopping the apps does not help. Please for advice.

I have also experienced this, but I think I have started to narrow things down. First of all, I am on an iPhone 5S 32gb, and I did NOT have any of these battery issues under 8.1.1, but since upgrading, the battery drains more quickly for sure.
What I have noticed, however, is that there are some strange correlations going on with what appears to be ridiculously severe battery drain - my phone will show 50% battery, and minutes later (of normal use, taking photos, screen at about 50% brightness, no overt internet or GPS activity) it will suddenly shut down completely. This seems to happen most WHEN IT IS COLD and I am using it outside.
When I try to turn it back on right after, I get the "plug me in" screen, as one would expect with a dead phone. However, if I wait a few minutes and let the phone warm up a bit, I hold down the power switch and on it comes, and when it comes on, the battery indicator will show 50% battery life again. I think of this as my FALSE BATTERY DRAIN problem, possibly unrelated to the actual battery life. I have only noticed this happening while running the Camera or Safari apps. Looking at my usage doesn't seem to turn up any surprises.
So Apple... what the heck is going on here? Is this an OS problem, is it an issue with your apps, with app conflicts... what is going on?
This is unacceptable. You know after being an Apple user for 35 years now I am not going to switch to Android lightly, but this is pushing me that way, and it is certainly going to keep me from updating to a newer, shinier phone until you show some commitment to supporting your users, who seem to be experiencing battery issues rather frequently these days.
Please at least show some INTEREST in being involved in this solution... I'm not seeing any indications of effort to fix this.
Thank you.

If I buy a new iPhone 5, will it come with iOS 6?

Hi, I'm from Brazil and we don't have any Apple Stores here yet, just Premium Resellers and the Carrier Stores.
So, in Apple's reseller in my town, there still are some iPhone 5 boxes lying between the iPhone 4S, 5c and 5s's boxes, as well some old iPhone 4 ones. Leaving aside the comments like "wow, iPhone 4 and 5 souldn't be found anymore" (I know that), do you think if I get one, it will still come with iOS 6?
I think so, becuase officially there aren't iPhone 5 in sale anymore, so it wouldn't make sense for Apple to ship them with iOS 7, because they stopped manufactoring the 5 before the iOS 7 and the new iPhones that ship with it, as well as the 4S 8GB, were introduced.
I'm asking this because I got a 5s and I'm deeply disapponted with iOS 7, and for me it ruins all the great features that only the 5s has to offer, and I'm willing to go back to the last iPhone that could run iOS 6.
PS: the Home Screen printed in the iPhone 5 box is from iOS 6, and we know Apple updated the printing on the 4s to iOS 7.
Thank you all in advance

Does the Premium Reseller offer a return policy? If you purchased the phone in an Apple store you could return it within 14 days for a refund. If the store you're dealing with offer this you could buy the phone and go through the setup process. You'll soon learn what version of the iOS is installed.
Given that, i would add that it is not wise to continue running iOS 6 when there are no own security flaws. iOS 7 solves those problems and adds the activation lock to prevent thieves from activating your phone should it be stolen or you lose it somehow.
