IPhone keeps reseting when I open an app, text, make a call, or even connect it to a charger. Why?
Starting last night, my iPhone 4 which I purchased from Verizon over the summer began to reset itself if I tried to make a call, send a text message, open an app, read my email, or simply connect it to a charger. It would freeze momentarily, then the screen would go blank with the loading icon and I would have to unlock my phone again. I'm getting very frustrated at how generally difficult it is to utilize Apple's support to find a simple answer. Hopefully someone can help me and this won't get ignored. I have tried the following: turning it off then on again, charging over night, closing all open apps, and checking for new software updates.
Sounds like you need to do some basic user troubleshooting, starting with a reset:
Double-tap your home button and start swiping up on your app windows (the larger windows) to close them out completely. Once they're all closed out, hold down the home button and the power button together until the screen blacks out and the Apple logo shows up on the screen, then let go. This will reboot your phone and will not cause any data loss. Let me know how the phone behaves after this.

Iphone 4 with latest OS keeps crashing when I open facebook app can someone advise?
My iphone 4 with latest OS keeps crashing when I open facebook app can someone advise? This is only happeining in the last few days I cannot use facebook on my iphone it crashes and slows down our network/wifi, is this a problem with facebook (latest version downloaded) or OS which is 6.1.3 - anyone any solutions? Thanks
First thing to try is to reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider should one appear until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.
If that doesn't work quit the Facebook app. Go to the Home screen and double click the Home button. That will reveal the row of recently used apps at the bottom of the screen. Tap and hold on the app in question until it jiggles and displays a minus sign. Tap the minus sign to actually quit the app. Then tap anywhere on the screen above that bottom row to return the screen to normal. Then delete the Facebook app and download it again. -
Hi I have an Iphone 4 and when I open the app store, all that appears is a white screen. I can't do anything? what can I do?
Try a hard reset. Hold Power button and home button until it restarts. Hold both till the Apple logo is displayed. Do not slide power off.
If that does not work you may need to restore. -

And it's forever like this. Can't get into the app store! I have had this problem for 6 months now. Some help ?!?
Finally I found the answer on the internet. I needed to open Terminal and write three lines of code.
Code:
rm ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.appstore.plist
rm ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.storeagent.plist
rm -rf ~/Library/Preferences/ByHost/*
Now I can get Mac OS X Lion. -

I upgraded to iOS 7 yesterday on my iphone and now none of my apps shows me any new message and when i open the apps it says "Connect to itunes for push notifications". Please help!!!
Same here. I don't know how to solve the problem, but I figured out a way to close the app without re-starting or resetting the phone. If you click ok and then press the home button twice really fast before the dialog box shows back up, you can put the phone in multi-tasking mode and close the app without having the shut the phone off or reset it. Anxiously awaiting the fix for this since I have several apps I use that I can access at the moment.

I have a new iphone 5. When i download an app it doesn't automatically appear on the homescreens. When I go into the app store I can locate the app and it says it is open. However, when I click the open button nothing happens. I have tried turning off the phone, resetting and restoring. I have signed out of itunes and then signed back in. Nothing is working. When I sync with my macbook pro, I add the new apps to the homescreens and apply but they still don't sync. Please help!!
This is happening right now to countless users. I suspect a server problem. Wait a day and try again.Or let itunes update and then sync (itunes seems to be working for this, I just used it to update apps that do not appear in the update page on my device).

So I bought my wife our 1st iPhone 4S today w/ Verizon. I booted it up and it started having a voice repeat every command, and function (no, its not Siri).
BTW... Siri doesn't work, I can't scroll in the settings, when I open an app it actually opens the wrong app, and I can't find a way do fix any of it. I tried a hard boot by holding down the power button and the button on the lower midddle of the phone. When it rebooted, it got worse. Now what?
Not too excited about switching phones if this has already begun... Any advice would be appreciated.iPhone User Guide

My Apple iPad keeps shutting off when I open an app. It randomly closes when on social media or online. Not able to view my Bible app. Have tried rebooting, but it doesn't help.
Then you may have to Restore your iPad from backup in iTunes?

I have an iPhone 4s. Sometimes when I open an app it closes again by itself after a few seconds. Any help pls??
I also had this problem. Go to settings> itunes & app store, tap on your apple ID and sign out. Then open itunes store. It should now open.
Then sign back in again and the problem should be resolved -
I cannot add an event on my iPhone or iPad calendars. The "plus" button, or add event button does not even appear when I open the app.
Thanks for the suggestion. Sadly, that did not fix it. I changed the sync setting as you described, but I still don't get my older events. I have turned my IOS devices off and on again too. One more piece of information, the only events I see for October are recurring events. Either one day events like birthdays set to repeat every year, or events within the month that spanned more than one day. No one time events or appointments are showing.
