IPhone crashing and locking up

iPhone locking up mainly using safari. Having to do a hard reset to recover. Is anyone having the same problem? Has during other apps besides safari. I hope they are planning a firmware update real soon. Makes a great iPod though.

Yes, the RESTORE function from iTunes resolved the
problem but I'd do this as last resort, as all my
content was lost, so I have to do 7 gigs worth of
media syncing.
Also, lost all the photos that I had taken with the
iPhone.
Any ideas where they might have been stored on my MAC
during the sync process?
They don't get stored unless you instuct it to do so. If you have taken photos iPhoto should recognize this and open up automatically (unless you have it disabled). I would suggest that when you take photos on your iPhone to sync it nightly and import them to iPhoto. Like I said this should be automatic everytime you sync.

  • Crashes and Lock-ups

    I have been experiencing crashes and lock-ups in Premiere CS4.
    Last week I was running Encore to burn a DVD and when I noticed the processor was running flat out. I decided to run Core Temp to check the temperatures. At that point my encoding stopped and Encore locked up.
    Now I usually have Core Temp start when I load Windows. I have now disabled it and when I ran Premiere last night guess what? No lock-ups. Now this is early days but I suspect Core Temp might be the problem. I hope so. I'll report back with my findings when I have had more time to experiment.
    PS I'm running Windows XP SP3, Quad Core 6600 and 4Gb RAM
    Cheers,
    Tim

  • Iphone Crashing and Freezing

    Hi! I'm mostly looking to see if I have a lemon or if others are experiencing the same problems I have been having with my iphone. My iphone crashes and freezes several times daily. I have to reboot at least once a day, and often more than that. I've already sent the iphone to apple for repairs, and it came back with the exact same issue. I could live with the $200 dollar decrease in cost, but for that extra 200 dollars, I would love an iphone that is reliable!
    Most of the other users I've seen here seem to be experiencing only intermittent crashing, and specifically of utilities...they usually find themselves back in the start screen. My phone is freezing...literally no brain activity. Please let me know if you have the same problems.

    I am not sure that you should be subjected to the Freezing and Crashing on a continued basis as you describe.
    As I have said before, Resetting and Restoring merely bypasses the fact that you are not fixing the problem but in fact putting a Band Aid on a mortal wound. These freezes are associated with a malfunction in the iPhone, whether it be software or hardware, it is a iPhone problem.
    You should get down to the Apple Store and tell them what is happening and either get a replacement or assistance in helping you get your iPhone sent to Applecare.
    I would not wait.

  • Phone crashes and locks up

    just installed latest update about a week ago and now it crashes and locks up 30 times a day. Help

    I get the same problem only it's not 30 times a day. I can't remember exactly what it was I was doing it first happened but it scared the **** out of me.
    Since then I do remember it's happened most often when I'm removing recently opened apps from the multitask tray.
    I don't think it's a particular app that does it but it might be that I'm clicking on one after the other in quick succession but I can't saw for sure.
    I can't say for how long it lasts either but it seems like forever yet it might be about 2-3 mins.

    Obviously the iPhone was/is not unlocked or this would not be required, and there is your answer, which can take up to two weeks.

  • IPhone crashes and not turning back on

    Hi to all of you.
    First I wanna apoligize if I'm posting this in the wrong discution board, I am new here
    So, here's my problem. I have an iPhone 3GS with iOS 4.0.1.  I got the phone last summer, with iOS 3 point something, and I updated it to it's current iOS. I also unlocked it and jailbroke it, because that was the only way i could use it here in Macedonia.
    Anyway, the phone worked perfectly for like a year until a while ago when it started crashing and not turning back on.
    For example, I'm leaving the phone to charge trough the night(as usual), then I'm using it for listening to music for like half an hour on my way to college. Now the interesting thing...the phone crashes after like half an hour of usage time, and that's usualy at over 90% of baterry, or just over 80%.
    Nevermind, the thing is, after it crashes, there is no way you can turn it back on, even though it had, let's say, 87% of battery power. When I try to turn it back on, the apple logo comes out like usual and fades away after a short while. If I continue trying it's gonna be the same thing, or even it's gonna show that red baterry bar telling me that I have to plug the phone to charge. And when I do that, the phone turns back on and it shows that it has like 60% of battery power(***?) or even less than 5%, it depends on the mood of my iPhone -.-
    And if somehow I manage to turn on the phone without plugging it in, when I go to check the usage stats, it says "Usage time will be shown after iPhone is fully charged"
    So, my question is, what should I do? Is it the battery? Should I get a new one, or maybe should I update my iOS?
    I just want to mention that if I update my iOS, I HAVE to unlock the phone if I wanna use it here.
    Sorry if I took you a lot of time explainig my problem.
    Any help will be appreciated

    These are signs of faulty battery. Battery replacement at Apple Store is $80, and you will get perfect working iPhone 4 same as your current iPhone, except it will be working. Make Genius Reservation and take to Apple. Or have battery replaced elsewhere.

  • Iphone crashes and 10.6.3

    following up some application crashes i noticeed that my log folder contains reports of 94 iphone crashes from 10.6.2 and 10.6.3.
    I have never noticed any problems and did not see an onscreen report for any of these "crashes".
    does anyone know what this means.? my iphone works perfectly.

    First, your iPhone is NOT running iOS 10.6.3.
    Second, basic troubleshooting steps are restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as new device.  Have you been through ALL these troubleshooting steps?

  • Random iPhone crashes and reboot loop after iOS 7 upgrade

    Hi all
    Since I upgraded my iPhone to iOS 7, I suffer from random crashes/resets, where my iPhone reboots and enters a reboot loop (Apple logo, black screen, reboot, Apple logo, black screen, reboot, etc) that I can only exit by restoring the device (resetting doesn't help).
    Some more information
    a) The device: iPhone 4, 32 GB, has never been jailbroken, and has never shown any similar issues before.
    b) The crashes/reboots: I haven't been able yet to find a pattern when and why they happen. I had reboots when searching for an app, when pluging in the wall charger, when entering the access code, and even when doing nothing at all (iPhone in my pocket). The only constant is the reboot loop after the crash.
    c) What I tried so far: I restored the device several times, using normal restore (with the iTunes logo) and DFU mode (black screen). After that, I recovered from a recent backup (takes some hours), and everything is ok again - for some hours, until the next crash and reboot loop. I also set up the device as a new phone, and there it seems stable, so I exclude a hardware issue. I tried quite a few of the advices that I found when googling for reboot loops: reset all settings (this led to an another immediate crash and reboot loop), disable app background refresh, etc.
    I've been using this device for my daily business. With the current instability (and the couple of hours it takes to bring it back to life again), it became more or less useless. I wish I could downgrade again (I know that I can't). My assumption is that either iOS 7, or some incompatible app or some corrupt setting is causing this situation. But I don't know how to proceed to isolate and eliminate the issue. I really would like to avoid setting up everything from scratch again.
    Any advice is greatly appreciated!

    All,
    First of all, sorry for my half-finished post above. While typing, I was interrupted, and by reflex I hit CMD-S. Unfortunately, the stupid interface of Apple's support website interpreted that as a submit command. I tried to complete my text with the update function, but when finally hitting the submit button, I got an error message, and all my updated text was gone... No way to bring it back, and also no way to delete the half-baked posting. Quite frustrating.
    Now, to complete what I started above:
    In my case, the problem definitely had something to do with the springboard process (an iOS system 'app' that manages the iOS homescreens) and the watchdog process (another iOS system 'app' that monitors certain things on your phone and that can initiate a restart when it thinks the phone is frozen). In the folder '/Users/<your account>/Library/Logs/CrashReporter/MobileDevice/<your phone>' I could see what caused my crashes; they were all 'stack+SpringBoard' and the reason in these crash log files was 'Watchdog timeout'.
    The following two forum posts helped me:
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/1676330?start=30&tstart=0
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/20794982#20794982
    I'm quite sure that my issues had to do with the 'application map' that is mentioned in the above posts. So far, Ive been thinking that it was just too large (as in the case of Andi1996 [second link above]), but jmbladen's observation seems not to support this. So, the absolute number might not the source of the problem, but I still assume that something went wrong with my application map during the upgrade from iOS6 to iOS7. I remember having stability problems before, as soon as all my 10 home screens were full of apps and newly downloaded apps would generate additional pages (only visible via iTunes). Considering that there are some fundamental changes to how we can organize apps within folders in iOS 7, it can well be that the springboard process just wasn't able to cope with my application map correctly within the 120 seconds before the watchdog process restarts the phone. My massive cleanup action must have fixed this somehow.
    @jmbladen: I'm only using iCloud for the 'find my phone' functionality, so all the backup & recovery was done via iTunes from my local harddisk. And there was no temporal pattern for my crashes before. You might suffer from the same symptoms, but probably not because of the same cause.
    My advice for anyone affected by random crashes and a reboot loop is to check out the directory with the CrashReporter logs mentioned above to find out what app or process causes the crash. If it's the springboard and watchdog problem, then you should try to clean up your home screens (from iTunes). Maybe the absolute number of apps is not that important, but make sure that you reduce the number of screens. And then sync and backup before you start using the phone again. In my case it helped.
    Hope this helps someone else too.
    P.S. Once you know the right keywords to search for, you find forum postings back to 2008 / iOS 2 describing exactly the same problem. This reboot loop is a very nasty issue, and it is hard to understand that Apple still hasn't been able to address this, or at least provide some better help on how to get out of it again.

  • Iphone crashed and will not start up.

    My phone crashed and now when I try to start it the Apple start-up screen comes up but then goes away and the phone does not start-up. I have tried reseting about a dozen times.

    Connect it to iTunes and do a Restore per manual.
    You may need to put it in the DFU mode per this site:

    My mobile presses alone numbers on the keypad and is crashes

    Greetings angryantaloupe82,
    It seems your iPhone is resetting itself and you are unable to restore it. Based on the information you have provided, it appears your iPhone needs to be serviced. The following link should help you get started with the process and has links with additional information on topics such as warranty and service pricing, battery replacement, and express replacement service.

  • Iphone crashed and wont restart

    i was updating my i phone o/s when it crashed and now my phone wont start or do anything ?

    have you tried the hard reset you described? that means holdin power and home button for several seconds (10-20). that should probably do the trick.
    if not: does itunes detect the phone?
