IPhone iOS4 Caused Many Problems, Help Please?

Okay so...
First, I downloaded the software. After 13 hours, it finally finished backing up the phone. Then it started the restore, and had an error. I had to re-restore it around 4 more times for it to work at all. This, of course, was only the beginning of my problems.
I use the TextFree app instead of real texting because I am in Russia and took out my SIM card to avoid getting any charges. In case you are not familiar with it, the app uses internet to text, and worked fine before. I was texting my friend, when all of a sudden, my phone turned off and restarted. I told him this, and he told me that that's one of the three problems people may experience. I didn't mind that occasionally it would restart {although yes, it is very annoying} but now I am facing a new problem. I can't open the Textfree app at all. It crashes every time I open it, and sometimes causes my phone to restart.
Help, anyone?
I know the obvious way to go about this would be to reinstall it...But I really can't afford to lose all the texts on that. I know I'm being silly, but honestly, does anyone know of another way to fix this?
Thanks!

Here's some info about your ipod not showing up in itunes: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1363
and about restoring in windows: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1339
Did you try to put it into disk mode to be able to format it before you restore? http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1363

  • Hi, my iPhone 3GS has many problems. Please help if you can!

    Havent had my phone for even a full year yet, been nothing but problems. My iPhone will not ring or notify me when people call yet i get the missed calls on my phone after they call 10 times (which they are normally very frustrated by then). It is hard to hear me sometimes when I talk to others using this phone. I will all of a sudden cut out when they could hear me perfectly clear. Also I will be texting a message and I will type a whole message but it wont show up on the screen and after 2 minutes when it finally does its only part of the message. My camera only opens up some of the time. My switch just doesnt work. When you switch it to silent it wont work unless you hold your finger on the switch. My home button doesnt always work. I will be using an app and all of a sudden my phone will freeze and restart itself. I will lock my phone but it will not actually lock until 2 minutes after i press the button. Sometimes my screen gets stuck in a landscape position even my home screen and lock screen, kinda weird. Oh and i have had the problem recently where I will plug my charger in and it will charge on and off. It will charge and then after a few minutes it will say this charger is not supported and it will go back and forth. So i got a new charger and tried it to see if the problem was the charger and it still did the same thing. There are more little problems but these are the major ones. I know there is a lot but any help or suggestions are welcomed and appreciated! Thank you   Oh my phone has also spent most of its time in an otter box so not much damage to my phone. Thanks again!!

    Since you are still under Warranty, make appointment with Apple Genius and take iPhone to Apple for resolution of those problems.

  • I cannot control the sensor on my Mac, it moves by itself, and opens different pages. What can cause this problem? please help me.

    I cannot control the sensor on my Mac, it moves by itself, and opens different pages. What can cause this problem? please help me.

    There are several possible causes for this issue. Take each of the following steps until it's resolved.
    1. Follow the instructions in this support article.
    2. Reset the System Management Controller.
    3. If you're using a Bluetooth trackpad, investigate potential sources of interference, including USB 3 devices.
    4. A swollen battery in a MacBook Pro or Air can impinge on the trackpad from below and cause erratic behavior. If you have trouble clicking the trackpad, this is likely the reason. The battery must be replaced.
    5. There's a report that a (possibly defective) Thunderbolt Ethernet adapter can cause the built in trackpad of a MacBook to  behave erratically. If you're using such an adapter, disconnect it and test.
    6. There's also a report of erratic cursor movements caused by an external display that was connected but not turned on.
    7. If none of the above applies, or if you have good reason to think your computer is being controlled remotely, remove it from the network by turning off Wi-Fi, disconnecting from a Bluetooth network link, and unplugging the Ethernet cable or USB modem, whichever is applicable. If the cursor movements stop immediately, you should suspect an intrusion.

    cutwright 93,
    I have a 4s, and I've had that problem, too. I've tried every method mentioned on the boards. If Ellips's suggestion didn't work, try this, and please let me know if it worked:
    (I did the following while the phone was connected to my pc...if that makes a difference.)
    1. On the phone, go to Music.
    2. Click "More."
    3. Click "Shared."
    4. My phone lists "iPhone" and my iTunes Libary. Try clicking the name of your music library.
    5. Wait until the circle makes its loop.
    The synch still failed to complete, but all of my music was on my iPhone, again. Whew.

  • I recently updated my iphone software and now I can't upload photos from iphone to mac computer. Help please.

    The following link has 2 methods for importing photos to a Mac (not counting Photo Stream). Are you using iPhoto or Image Capture? If you follow the steps in the link for that method, what exactly happens that doesn't allow the upload? iOS: Import personal photos and videos from iOS devices to your computer

    I have a Shockwave Error: "This Shockwave movie has errors that have caused playback problems.  Please contact the author of this content regarding this problem.   Shockwave is unable to continue."  What I can make ?

    This is some built-in "protection" that was engineered into Shockwave some years ago. It means that SW will ignore the first 10 script errors then throw the dialogue you are seeing. You really will have to contact the developer of the content in question to have it fixed - there's nothing anyone else can do. The developer needs to replicate your error, determine the cause, rectify it and republish their movie

  • HT4061 my i phone5 is brought from canada it was gifted by my big bro it has causing many problem it was under warranty can this warranty valid in india

    my iphone giving me many problems like hanging call ended automatically aplicatin while running closed automaticaly it was brought from canada and can i swap my iphone 5 from india part no -MD294C/A serial no -DNPKH6NKDTTP IMEI NO - 013429006771618

    It doesn't matter if it was unlocked. It still must be returned to Canada for repairs, either in warranty or out of warranty. That's the reason it's a bad idea to buy an iPhone in a different country than the one you plan to use it in.

  • Sold my iphone...little problem help me

    Sold my iphone...lil problem... Didnt reset cause i had nothin important.. Well i guess i did my contacts. He keeps puttin contacts and i get his contacts when i put my contacts he get mine. In my new iphone. Help me please need to jst reset do i dont get his contacts and icloud is also connected... Im so confused and i kant find him...

    Sounds like both phones are signed into the same iCloud account.  To fix this:
    Go to Settings>iCloud and turn all synced data to Off (contacts, calendars, etc.).  When prompted choose to keep the data on your phone.
    Then scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account (this deletes the iCloud account from your phone).
    Create a new iCloud account on your phone with a different Apple ID.
    Turn on iCloud syncing again for contacts, etc. in Settings>iCloud.
    Got to https://www.icloud.com/ on your computer and delete his contacts.  You should no longer get any contacts added by him and he won't get any added by you.
    This will fix the immediate issue, but you should still find the buyer as he is still using an iCloud account associated with your Apple ID.  He needs to do this same procedure on his phone, creating a new iCloud account with his own Apple ID.

  • ICloud problems help please!

    I have an iPhone 6 and during the setup I must have did something wrong and now I have my old iCloud account on it that I no longer remember the password, security questions, and no longer have the email address to that account.  I think I was hacked and my password and security questions changed. I want to log out of iCloud and start using my current iCloud account.  I know these are security measures, but how can I get logged out??? My iPhone is having problems since the latest update and now I can't make a call or text.  I can't call apple support without a working number  HELP Please.

    Hello shelbyrecords,
    Oh no! That sounds really frustrating. Unfortunately, if iCloud Find my iPhone Activation Lock is enabled on the device we’ll need to gain access to your previous Apple ID account to disable it. Based on the information you have provided, it sounds like you may need a personalized support experience to recover your previous Apple ID:
    If you forgot your Apple ID password - Apple Support
    http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201487
    Make sure that you’re entering the correct Apple ID. In most cases, your Apple ID is also the primary email address of your Apple ID account. If these steps didn't help you change your password, contact Apple Support.
    Thanks,
    Matt M.

    JoJo,
    I Had your problem to a 100% match. I took my phone to the Apple store yesterday and it actually turned out to be a bad battery connection. The connector was bent, making contact but screwing up the memory. My second battery replacement on my iPhone 4. $89.00 This absolutely and instantly fixed the problem. Please let me know if this helps ( or any of the ther 4 of you wiht this problem. I just created an account so I could answer your question.The Apple guy did tell em he had to put it in UDE mode whihc doesn't matter a bit if you're not there getting teh battery. I don't know what UDE mode is,. but I see it metnioned here a lot.To re-iterate, he said it would have done nothing for me on my own.

  • SQL INSERT problem - help please

    Hello,
    I'm having a problem with INSERT statement.
    There is a "ShowFinal.jsp" page, which is a list of candidates who selected from the second
    interview. The user picked some candidates from the list and conduct the 3rd interview. After
    he check suitable candidates(who are selected from the 3rd interview) from the list , enter
    basic salary for every selected candidate, enter date of interview and finally submit the form.
    These data should be save into these tables.
    FinalSelect(nicNo,date)
    EmpSalary(nicNo,basicSal)
    In this "ShowFinal.jsp" page, it validates the following conditions using JavaScript.
    1) If the user submit the form without checking at least one checkbox, then the system should be
    display an alert message ("Please select at least one candidate").
    2) If the user submit the form without entering the basic salary of that candidate which was
    checked, then the system should be display an alert message ("Please enter basic salary").
    These are working well. But my problem is how to wrote the "AddNewFinal.jsp" page to save these
    data into the db.
    Here is my code which I have wrote. But it points an error.
    "AddNewFinal.jsp"
    String interviewDate = request.getParameter("date");
    String[] value = request.getParameterValues("ChkNicno");
    String[] bs = request.getParameterValues("basicSal");

    Thanks.

    Hi Casabianca ,
    It is clearly that your problem is not on the database end, more like a servlet/jsp issue.
    I will not comment on the javascript portion, but rather the 2 jsps.
    a simple way to trace what's go wrong is to check the final result (the html code) of the first jsp (showFinal.jsp), and compare against what is expected by the 2nd jsp (AddNewFinal.jsp). Most browser do provide "view source" on the page visited.
    the following code
    <input type="checkbox" name="<%= "ChkNicno" + iCounter %>" value="<%=s.getNicno() %>">
    <input type="text" name="<%= "basicSal" + iCounter %>"
    would likely to be "translated" to html code something as follow:
    <input type="checkbox" name=""ChkNicno0" value="nicNo>">
    <input type="text" name="basicSal0">
    the original code in "AddNewFinal.jsp" using
    request.getParameterValues("ChkNicno");
    which looking for a none exist http request parameter (sent as "ChkNicno0",etc but look for "ChkNicno"), which has explained before.
    the second attempt to use String[] value = request.getParameterValues("ChkNicno" + iCounter); give Cannot resolove symbol :iCounter. because iCounter never defined in the 2nd jsp!
    Most of the error message do give clue to cause of error... : )
    not too sure on your intension, assume you wish to update only those selected (checked) row to db.
    some suggestions:
    1) <input type="text" name="ChkNicno" size="10"> </td>...
    <input type="text" name="basicSal" size="10"> instead.
    then use javascript to based on checked element index (refer to javascript spec for more details), for those index not checked, clear off the correspond index "basicSal" field value.
    e.g. ChkNicno[1] is not checked, empty basicSal[1] value before submission.
    This will give us only selected rows values.
    2) retain the code
    String[] value = request.getParameterValues("ChkNicno");
    String[] bs = request.getParameterValues("basicSal");at 2nd jsp, as now the http request will pass parameters using "ChkNicno" and "basicSal".
    3) some change to the code for optimization
    for(int i=0; i < value.length; i++){
         String temp = value;     
         for(int x=0; x < bs.length; x++){
              String basic = bs[x];
              pstmt2 = connection.prepareStatement(sql2);
              pstmt2.setString(1, temp);
              pstmt2.setString(2, basic);
              int RowCount1= pstmt2.executeUpdate();
         pstmt1 = connection.prepareStatement(sql);
         pstmt1.setString(1, temp);
         pstmt1.setString(2, interviewDate);
         int RowCount= pstmt1.executeUpdate();
    to
    pstmt1 = connection.prepareStatement(sql);
    pstmt2 = connection.prepareStatement(sql2);
    for(int i=0; i < value.length; i++){
         String temp = value;     
         for(int x=0; x < bs.length; x++){
              String basic = bs[x];
              pstmt2.setString(1, temp);
              pstmt2.setString(2, basic);
              int RowCount1= pstmt2.executeUpdate();
         pstmt1.setString(1, temp);
         pstmt1.setString(2, interviewDate);
         int RowCount= pstmt1.executeUpdate();
    preparestatement created once should be sufficient as we do not change the sql statement throughout the loop.
    there are better solutions out there, this just some ideas and suggestions.Do try out if you wish.
    Hope it helps. : )

  • VIRUS PROBLEMS, HELP PLEASE???

    Your exactly right, it is possible that if you visit a site and need the scripts to run for something that the malware that uses Javascript is on that site, then your going to be presented with it.
    The thing is with the Firefox + NoScript combination defeats alot of the web side trickery the malware authors are using to get the malware to appear in the first place.
    Also this "MacDefender" isn't the only malware making the rounds. There are some serious Flash vulnerabilities being hosted on hostile/adult websites that are running scripts for no apparent reason other than to try to infect your machine.
    By running all scripts all the time, your computer is in a state as if you tried running across a busy highway blindfolded.
    As a lifelong "MacHead" I can understand Apple loyalty, but if Apple isn't cutting the mustard on their browser security, rather place their users security at serious risk for the sake of convenience, then I have to think about using and recommending to others something else that is more secure.
    As a example, I surf thousands of web pages a day, some on really nasty sites, yet I haven't seen this "MacDefender" appear on my computer. Even when I purposely visited links that people have submitted that had the malware. (I maintain a couple of bootable clones of my boot drive just in case)
