IPhone going wild in the middle of the night

Hi,
my iPhone goes wild in the middle of the night when it is connected to the power lead. I makes call at 1am to random people in my contacts, send text messages with random text, opens internet pages and searches internet with the same random text.
Help! How can I stop this?
Last night it called a friend of mine: my phone was on loudspeaker ringing until she answered! How bad is that? It was 1am!!
Many thanks for your help!

Reset your iPhone. Hold the on/off and home buttons together for about 10 seconds till the Apple logo appears.
That should fix the issue. But I have one other recommendation:
You might consider powering your iPhone off while you are sleeping. That would, among other things, save the battery. But it would also make sure this behavior never happens again.

Hi Robertfrom Denver.
Did you try the solution given, and if yes, did it work?
I have done several "attempted downloads, and see the full file download, typically taking 30 minutes to complete, and then something goes wrong.
I am happy to suspend AV and FW software, but would like to know if it is a good fix or not first?

Iphone stopped working, and Im in the middle of the jungle. Help!

I'm in the middle of the jungle in Siem Reap, Cambodia and my iphone 3GS 32g just suddenly stopped working. I had been using it all day to take photos, and it suddenly went black and wont turn on. I havent dropped, or damaged it in anyway. It doesn't respond no matter what I do.
I'm going to Bangkok, Thailand tomorrow. I''m wondering if my warranty is honored abroad here, and if there is anything I can do. I desperately need to access my phone for contact information. Please help!

I think i am having the same problem with u.
i usually charge my iphone on a dock overnight and one day i found it switched off charging with a empty red charging battery on the screen.
i think it did turn on a few times during the day suddenly showing 100% charged and after a while it switch itself off showing the red battery again. afterthat it never turned on again. all i get is the empty red charging battery no matter how long i charged it for. i tried resetting it by pressing the home and connect to usb or pressing the home and power button for 10 seconds but they didnt work.
i rang up the support team and they claim it is an hardware issue and can be repaired only in the country of purchase.

It should be telling you to download the latest iTunes on your computer... you can't install iTunes on your iPhone.

I was in the middle of the latest update and my iPhone now says it needs to restored will I be able to back it up first. I have photos on it I can NOT loses

It should have backed up automatically at the start of the update process. And you should be saving photos from your phone to your computer regularly, just like you would with any digital camera. If you were not doing this you MAY lose the photos, but if your backup at the start of the update was successful you will not. Just DO NOT sync after the update, until you have restore the backup and verified that it is OK.
What error message did you get during the update? Before you restore do the following:
Reboot your computer
Connect to a USB port on the computer directly, not a hub
disable your antivirus and firewall
Launch iTunes
Finally, connect the phone and restore.

I plugged my phone into my a different computer (mac) that was not mine and it asked me to restore the phone. I started to back up the phone, then ended the phone got unplugged in the middle of the backup. Now we can't find where the iPhone backed up.

If it there is a backup you will find in in ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup. (Just open Finder>Go>Go To Folder..., past this in the path box and click Go.)

Hi MrsMoosie,
I'm sorry to hear you are having these issues with your iPad. If your iPad isn't responding or doesn't appear to be charging, you may find the information and troubleshooting steps outlined in the following articles helpful, in particular the following portion:
If you don't see the charging screen within an hour, or you see the connect to power screen, check your connector, USB cable, and power adapter. Make sure that everything is plugged in firmly, free of debris, and not damaged. You might want to try a different USB cable or power adapter.

Hello..i have IPhone 4S i did reset to factory settings by fault and till now after a 2 hours there is nothing just a waiting icon in the middle of the screen and none of home or turn off button are response so i do need your help plz

hello..i have IPhone 4S i did reset to factory settings by fault and till now after a 2 hours waiting (as known it takes a 1 to 2 minutes maximum) there is nothing just a blank screen and a running waiting icon in the middle of the screen and none of home or turn off button are responsed so i do need your help plz & thanks in advance..

Try to reset it by holding the power an home buttons at the same time until you see the Apple logo, then release. If it won't reset, you'll probably have to force it into recovery mode and restore it, as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808.

IPhone 5 in recovery mode stop in the middle of the restoration - UNKOWN ERROR (14)

Firts, my IPHONE 5 was freezing and then rebooting itself. Did a restauration this morning and since 15h00, it was rebooting itself repedetly.
I just force a restauration of it with ITUNES (all the latest versions) and the IPHONE got stuck in the middle of the first retauration phase - where you see a white screen with the apple logo and a status bar.
ITUNE stopped the restauration and indicates: UNKOWN ERROR (14)
What is happening?
And, yes my IPHONE is not under warranty, it is 21 months old.

Why iphone 4 cannot establish position in the middle of the ocean?

I am in the middle of the ocean and ofcourse no gsm range.
Maps showing that cannot determinat position.
Gsp cannot fix position without gsm support?

Have you power cycled it? Or maybe just try a simple reset
Reset the iPhone by holding the sleep/wake button at the top right of the device and the home button at the bottom center of the face at the same time.
Hold them both until you see the screen go black and the white Apple logo appear.
When this happens, you can let go - the iPhone is rebooting.
I'm thinking that if the GPS works like, say a Garmin or TomTom, it caches satellite infomation to be able to connect more rapidly the next time it is used. If that cache is stuck on information that does not apply (where you are now, the satellite's available to it will be different), a reset should flush the cache and force it to re-find available satellite signals. It may take several minutes to get a fix once you reboot and try it though.

Hey ppl,my macbook is not booting and by that i mean u can hear the audio wave when its starting up,the screen goes white and then after a while there's a folder with a question mark in the middle of the screen...anyone,any ideea?!?

That folder with the question mark icon means that the MacBook can't find the boot directory. That can either mean it can't find the hard drive or the hard drive data is somehow corrupted.
Put your install DVD into the drive and reboot. As soon as you hear the boot chime, hold down the "c" key on your keyboard (or the Option key until the Install Disk shows up). That will force your MacBook to boot from the optical drive.
Once it has finished booting and you are at the Install screen launch Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. Is your Hard Drive in the list on the left?
If it is then select the First Aid Tab run Repair Disk and if that repairs any problems run it again until the green OK appears and then run Repair Permissions.
If your hard drive isn’t recognized in Disk Utility then your hard drive is probably dead.

The program is for replacement since Apple does not repair iDevices...you take your non-working or damaged iPhone to an Apple store genius bar, or send to Apple service, and they provide a refurbished unit as a replacement, for a fee, of course. You will have to talk with Apple to see if you get all components or just the iPhone replaced.
With AppleCare+ you can have two out-of-warranty replacements for a cost of $49 each.
