Iphone 6 -- iOS 8.1.3 -- screen constantly freezing, Apps instantly crashing, Photos not deleting, iMessages disappearing, iCloud not reflecting correct backups

Ever since downloading iOS 8.1.3 on my iPhone 6, I've been experiencing quite a few issues (I am assuming all are related to the update, but not sure)
I apologize in advance for the lengthy post! Here goes:
     • Screen constantly freezes--sometimes it freezes on the home screen (no apps open), other times when I am in Settings, Photos or any of my downloaded apps. Each time this happens I have to restart the phone by holding the home and lock buttons in order to unfreeze the screen...this happens approximately 4-5x per day.
     • All of my apps either freeze or crash upon opening, and my Mail app either refuses to stay open or it will show an empty inbox with 'no mail' --even though my email has always been synced to the phone.
     • I am not receiving a lot of iMessages or incoming calls to my iPhone, but most of the missing iMessages will appear on my MacBook Pro. And when I do receive iMessages normally, entire portions of certain conversations--both sent & received--keep disappearing (whether my iphone is on all day or if I have to restart it). *the convo that has gone MIA on my iPhone will still appear on the other persons phone.
     • When I open Messages or Recent Call logs, the contact names do not appear..only 10-digit phone numbers. (Even though all of the #s are saved by name in Contacts).*This has only happened a few times so far.*
     • Furthermore--and most frustrating!--my camera and photos are practically inaccessible. Almost every time I open 'Photos', the app crashes.. I have no available storage to use the camera so when I try to select photos and hit 'delete' the app crashes instead of deleting the photos.
     • I have considered performing a factory reset... however, my iCloud states I have 4.6gb available (w/ 5gb plan) even though my photos are turned on in iCloud, and should be taking up most of the 5gb storage space..they appear 'On,' but do not show up under 'Manage Storage'...the only apps/documents/data shown are WhatsApp and Mail so I am afraid to reset the phone as I have no idea if the photos are actually backed up or not.   (Screenshots are attached)
If anybody has been experiencing any of the same issues I would greatly appreciate your insight or advice for how to fix this! I'm hoping it is just a bug with the new iOS software and not an issue with my phone itself as it is only 3 months old.. Thank you in advance!

**Adding to the final photo in my original post... When I select the 'Kendall Anderson's...This iPhone' using 324.2MB, Photo Library is turned 'On', but has 'No Data'....I know this is not possible because my photos that were previously backed up used up ~3.5GB of storage.
Either I am doing something wrong here, or my iPhone just has a mind of its own with this new update!

    Check the General -> Restrictions settings and see if perhaps the iTunes app is turned off there. If not, the app may have been inadvertently moved to another home screen or dropped into a folder. Do a search for the app or try resetting the Home screen layout: Choose General > Reset, then tap Reset Home Screen Layout.

  • Iphone 4 iOS 6.1.3 can't download apps (greyed out)

    I have had issues with apps not allowing me to download with the app being greyed out in the itunes app store on my iphone.  I then tried to download to itunes on my pc & sync to my iphone.  When I sync it shows on the pc that it is on my phone but it doesn't give me the app on my phone.  It gives me an empty space on my screen for that app.  I am not sure why I am having these issues.  My husband has an iphone4 with iOS 6.1.3 also and he is able to download the apps that I am having issues with.

    Hello

    My iPhone 5 wouldn't start after I turned it off a few minutes after writing this. It went into recovery mode and I had no choice but to connect to iTunes on PC and restore.
    I restored to factory setting first, just to validate my phone was okay. For a second consecutive iOS update, the  iPhone 5 did not update smoothly while connected to PC and iTunes - I had to retry two times before the progress bar for the update showed. (The exact same problem with the restart occured when I updated to 7.0.4.)
    The good news is that I was ultimately able to restore the iPhone 5 to factory settings while running iOS 7.0.6. I did have a backup from about a month ago lying around and was able to successfully restore with that as well, so the damage done is almost negligible since I had my contacts, notes, mail, etc. backed up to iCloud.
    Once I completed both restores, the sync with iTunes worked fine.

  • When is the next ios update and will it fix/address the issue with photos not being shown in chronilogical order?

    All of us here are users just like you. We have no inside info of when Apple products or operating system updates/upgrades will be released. The next iOS may not even change the issue you have.

  • Messages on iPhone 4 (iOS 5.1.1) to Messages 8.0 on OSX Mavericks not working

    Hello All,
    I have a very specific issue with my wifes iPhone 4 on iOS 5.1.1 using Messages to send to my MacBook Pro (MBP) on OSX Mavericks with version 8.0 of Messages.
    I find that when ever she sends me a SMS via Messages going over Apples iCloud, that I don't get the message on the MBP and it shows with a red ! on her iPhone.
    I have tested a number of different situations,
    1) At the moment, both my iPhone 4 (iOS 7.1) and MBP (Messages 8.0) are setup to receive via my mobile number.
    When I send a test SMS from her iPhone to my mobile number, the SMS makes it to my iPhone, but not on the MBP Message, and she has a red ! on the SMS on her iPhone, I can try to resend the SMS a number of times and it never makes it to my MBP.
    2) I then logged out of iMessage on the MBP Message, so only my iPhone is setup to get SMS via iCloud.
    When I send a test SMS from her iPhone to my mobile number, the SMS makes it to my iPhone and all further SMS sent now work and there is no more red ! on her iPhone.
    3) I then logged back into iMessage on the MBP and setup Messages to use my email address only.
    I then send a SMS from her iPhone to my email address, the SMS makes it and I get it on the MBP Messages. I send a second SMS and that works too.
    I then send a third SMS and that fails, there is now a red ! on the iPhone and no message on the MBP. After numerous re-sends and additional SMS to the same email address, I don't get anymore messages to the MBP.
    When looking at the syslog on the MBP, the only logging I have at the time of the SMS' being set are:

    Is anyone aware of a know issue with iOS 5.1.1 on iPhone 4 that has issues sending message via iCloud to Messages on OSX?
    I am not able to reinstall iOS 5.1.1 as it's not allowed anymore, I can't upgrade to iOS 6.1.x as that is not allowed either.
    I don't want to upgrade to iOS 7.1 as it's slow as anything on an iPhone 4 and Apple should have left iOS 6 as the last version for iPhone 4
    Thanks
    Josh

    Thank you for the comment and the link.
    Unfortunately what you have said is not very helpful and untrue. I have not caused the issues here, there seems to be a bug or design issues here between iOS 5.1.1 and Message 8.0 on OSX. That is what I am asking about.
    Maybe what you may mean by your response is that by not upgrading to iOS 7.1, it will not be fixed.
    But you can't say 100% that upgrading to iOS 7.1 is the fix, as you don't know 100% what the issue/bug/fault is.
    As an aside, I am looking for a solution apart from updating from iOS 5.1.1 to iOS 7.1.
    I do run iOS 7.1 on my iPhone 4 and have disabled as much as possible and it's still not as good as iOS 6 for speed and regret the upgrade.

  • Restoring iPhone with ios 7, with broken screen

    I broke my screen on my iPhone 5 and have just upgraded to iOS7. I also had a passcode on. With one of the new features of iOS 7, you must input the passcode to enable being able to restore the phone or even back up the phone. The screen was shattered about a month ago, worked just fine for about a month and then yesterday the screen just shows a gibberish mix of colors and pixels. It still "displays" notifications in that the screen will turn on with nothing but the jumble of pixels, and sounds, although Siri doesnt come on when holding the home button. Now, I just need to backup my phone for when I get a new one tomorrow without being able to input my passcode.

    Hello, Brunon_Wayward. 
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    Sometimes when an iOS update is released there is a compatibility lag with certain features that requires an update to the vehicle.  I would first check with your vehicle manufacture for any firmware updates.  However, here is an article that has some helpful troubleshooting steps regarding car stereo connections and an iOS device.

  • IPhone 4 / IOS 4.3.5 - Screen Wakes up automatically

    Hi there,
    I don't now exactly since when this started to happen, but I've never had this before.
    When my iPhone4 (10 months old, now running IOS 4.3.5) is just laying on my desk (or somewhere else) and it isn't touched, nor operated, nor playing anything at all, my iPhone's screen just wakes up (to the lock screen) and after a second or so, it goes black again.
    This is happening over and over again and it kind of drains my battery
    Trying to figure out when this started to happen, it may have been introduced with IOS 4.3.5 or Mac OS-X Lion being installed on my MacBookPro.
    I already tried:
    disabling / enabling the Automatic lock
    performing a hard reset
    switching all running apps off
    With case / no case
    With Screen protector / without screen protector
    I'm about to do a factory restore, bus as I've lost my apps data several times, this may be my last resort before acutally doing so.
    Any (other) ideas on how to get rid of this?
    Anyone else experiencing the same?
    Hope to get this fixed soon.
    Regards,
    Rob.

    The only way to find out would be setting it up "as new device" without using the actual backup afterwards.
    If this works, you know that your backup contains corrupt data causing your problem.
    You could also try to delete the ipsw file, to make iTunes download a new copy of the firmware befoer your firmware gets restored.

  • IPad IOS 8.1 full screen safari web app display issue

    My company produces a web app that is intended to be used from the iPad's Full Screen Home Screen launch.
    we are using the tags:
    <meta name="apple-mobile-web-app-capable" content="yes">
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0, user-scalable=no" >
    Since taking the updates to IOS 8, 8.1, & 8.2, when the app is launched in full screen mode from the home screen, the iPad's top line including the text "iPad", its signal strength, VPN status, current time, battery life, and blue-tooth indicators are superimposed on the top line of every page - making it difficult to read that top line of data coming from our app.
    Additionally, there appears to now be a blank white band that shows up on the footer of the web app.  Both of these new additions to the full screen appearance is yielding a somewhat less professional appearance.
    Is there some sort of tag or other setting that we can use to hide these new areas that are appearing?

    This is a better illustration.   I'm thinking that the white band at the bottom of the screen should be at the top of the screen (like the iphone does) and the web content should be shifted down that amount of space.
    the white band is hard to see with this white background however, but its obvious on the ipad in full screen mode... so go to the link on your device, save it to the home screen and relaunch...

  • IPhone stuck on "Connect to iTunes" screen. Connect to computer, "USB device not recognised". Can't reset. Suggestions?

    Above says it all. Frustrated, no one seems to have an answer. Anyone know of anything that could get me closer to fixing it?
    Happened when iPhone 4 was updated to iOS 5. Problem was Kaspersky was on - I know this because I have had trouble when updating my iPhone in the past when it was on. Unable to get anywhere in terms of restoring because it's stuck on Connect to iTunes screen, computer won't recognise it and reset won't work.
    Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

    I had this problem before and fixed it. Its happened to me again very recently so its not uncommon. I had to completely uninstall ITunes and most importantly uninstall Apple Mobile Device Support which can all be found in the uninstall programs in the control panel. once you have done that, re install the most up to date iTunes (don't worry about having to find another Apple Mobile Device Support software as the most up to date version of that gets installed with iTunes). Once that is done take out the USB cable make sure the iPhone is off or blank ad iTunes is not open. Then simply plug in the USB and iPhone you don't have to hold any buttons and the phone should light up and you get a message about the apple mobile device support software being installed then itunes opens asking if you want to restore this iPhone. if this doesn't work don't worry take out the phone and try a different USB socket making sure iTunes isnt open for some reason it doesnt like it open.
    Hope that helps im only saying whats helped for me so sorry if it doesnt for you

  • IPhone 5 IOS 7 battery dead when really at 29% after taking photos

    My iPhone 5 (1 year old now) has started having a battery problem since I upgraded to IOS 7. It will shut itself off under these circumstances:
    battery is below 40%
    I take a number of photos using the Apple Camera app
    photos taken in rapid sequence (no flash) or one or two taken with flash
    The next thing I know I see the radar symbol and the phone shuts off. If I try to turn it on I get the drained battery icon with the power plug moving into the screen an it turns off.
    I then plug it in to turn it on and find that the battery is still around 30%. If I am not near my charger, I can wait about a half hour and power the phone on. I just did that and the battery is at 29%.
    What is going on? This is not right. I've never seen this before and have had 2 other iPhones. Any thoughts or ideas appreciated.

    Hello there, avatarsound11.
    The following Knowledge Base article provides some good pointers for troubleshooting the issue you are having:
    iPhone and iPod touch: Charging the battery
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1476
    Particularly:
    iPhone or iPod touch displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive
    If you see the image below, charge the iPhone or iPod touch with USB power adapter for at least 15 minutes.                                                                          
    You should see this image when iPhone or iPod touch begins to charge.                                                                     
    If the screen still displays the low-battery icon, try turning the iPhone or iPod touch off and then on again.
    If the issue persists, follow these troubleshooting steps.
