IPhone locked up while viewing photo?

The other day my wife was looking at pics in her Camera Roll on her week 43 iPhone 3GS, when it just totally locked up. There was a picture on the screen, but no response to any touch input on the screen OR on any buttons whatsoever. Even tried powering off the phone by holding the sleep/power button - nothing. Stuff like this makes me wish I could yank the battery out.
Anyway, I tried connecting it to the computer, and at first nothing happened. Device didn't show up on the computer or in iTunes, and that same photo was still on the phone's display. Finally after awhile the screen went blank, and the Apple logo appeared, and then the regular lock screen came up and it was fine. I never saw the Charging lock screen or had any indication that the phone was charging while it was connected.
Anyone know what happened or what might have caused this?

The iPhone is a computer so it could have been anything. When your iPhone doesn't act right, slow, locks up, hesitates, programs close unexpectedly, etc., a reset usually solves the problem...
press the home and sleep buttons until you see the Apple logo, ignoring the slider. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.
Note that this is not the same as a Restart and you may need to hold the buttons longer (to see the Apple logo) in some cases.

IPhone locked during synch of photos. Can I retrieve deleted photos?

I plugged in my iPhone to upload photos that I had just taken. I selected 'all', imported, and was then asked if I wanted to delete the originals. So far so good.
Then everything locked up. iPhoto froze, and was said to be 'not responding'. I force quit.
When I restarted iPhoto, none of the original pictures had been imported, and only a few remained on my iPhone.
Is there a hidden 'trash' bin in my iPhone? Is there a way of retrieving those 'deleted' photos?
Thanks

You can try and see if phoneview can see them:

Question...Did you sync before trying to import the photos in question? The reason I ask is that camera roll photos are included in your phone's backup, which is the first thing done when you perform a sync. Thus restoring from backup "may" restore the photos, if they were included in that backup.

Iphone shutting off while editing photo

I took a picture of something, and when i went on my photos to rotate it my iphone keeps shutting off then turning back on. Ive tried shutting it off restarting all my apps I dony know why it keeps happening.

Not sure either but try force-closing the Photos app: double-tap the home button, locate Photos in the list at the bottom, tap and hold it until it wiggles, tap to close it, tap the home button. Then try rotating a photo again and see if it's working now.

Front Row: background music is gone while viewing Photos

Hi,
I was trying to change background music about 2 weeks ago and felt succeeded in it. Since then Front Row with Photos was not used. Unfortunately today I figured out that music does not play anymore. Even selecting another music folder in iPhoto for event does not help:
+It works in iPhoto once Play button is clicked but does not produce desired effect in Front Row for the same Photos.+
Any ideas?
Thanks.

Todv, that's the problem . I don't really remember how did that before. Honestly this is my first month of experience working with OS X.
Initially my MBP was delivered with everything preinstalled. Front Row worked fine with Added photos. I didn't even create any Slideshows. Unfortunately only one specific track was played all the time what drove me crazy. Then somehow I changed the song (don't even remember how exactly). It worked. Didn't use Front Row for about 2 weeks and recently decided to watch photos with my girlfriend but... music stopped playing.

Viewing photos on TV

I've purchased the Universal Dock and the component video cable to hook my iPhone up to my home entertainment system. I can watch video podcasts and TV shows from my iPhone, but I cannot view photo slide shows. What am I doing wrong? All the literature says I should be able to do this. Is there a setting I need to change? Please help!

On my TV I have to change the channel on the TV set (not the digital cable converter box) to a different channel (most sets are usually channel 2 or 3) so as to get the video feed from the iPhone to stream to the TV. As for photos I believe the only way to see them on a TV is by using the product Apple TV sold though this website.

HT201287 How do I share contact info over SMS while viewing a contact?

I am using iPhone 5S. While viewing a contact information, I would like to send the contcat info over SMS.
As per user guide, if I click on Share Contact and then select Message, New Message screen is popped up but without the contact info.
Need some help here.

When I share a Contact (named "Emergency" in my case), I see a screen like this:
Note at the top is where I would address this message to the person with whom I am sharing.
Are you sure you're set up for messaging? This may be an MMS message.

IPhone 4 (with iOS 5.0) won't go to Landscape while taking photos/videos EVEN IF PORTRAIT ORIENTATION SETTING IS NOT LOCKED! However, watching YouTube/Videos is stuck on LANDSCAPE!

My iPhone 4 (with iOS 5.0) won't go to Landscape while taking photos/videos EVEN IF PORTRAIT ORIENTATION SETTING IS NOT LOCKED! However, watching YouTube/Videos is stuck on LANDSCAPE!
I was getting this even on iOS 4.0, but under this OS, I can restart the phone, and in some cases, this problem goes away.
However, under iOS 5, it simply wouldn't go to LANDSCAPE. Photos is not a worry, since I can just rotate this, but videos is now stuck on Portrait!
Again, the PORTRAIT ORIENTATION SETTING is NOT LOCKED! But it still wouldn't go to Landscape.
Is this some sort of a "gyroscope" problem??
O

Sorry, but you are mistaken about both observations.
You CAN DEFINITELY take photos in Landscape and you CAN DEFINITELY watch YouTube videos in PORTRAIT (just tried it now using my sister's working iPhone).
Also, my CALCULATOR does not go to LANDSCAPE (i.e. from normal to Scientific) automatically.
So I still think it could be a gyroscope problem...but I'm not 100% sure.

Photos in the Camera Roll on "iPhone 4S" cannot be viewed because the iPhone is locked with a passcode

Having just updated to the latest system 6.0 (10A403) Everytime when I connect my Iphone to my Mac and open iphoto with the phone connected, a warning window keeps popping up. Showing "Photos in the Camera Roll on "iPhone 4S" cannot be viewed or imported because the iPhone is locked with a passcode."
But it is not locked. The rest of the synch in iTunes seems to work fine but iPhoto says that there are no photos for importing, when thjere are many. Any assistance most appreciated. thanks

Reenable the password and then disable it. The message should no longer appear.

How do i view photos in macbook pro, and while viewing how can i delete the unwanted photos with delete button?

1 My questions are about viewing and managing photos from a folder.
a. How do i view photos in macbook pro - i know the space bar thingy but does not help my purpose?
b. While viewing how can i delete the unwanted photos with delete button?
c. How can i increase the size of the photos that i am seeing in the form of icons?

double clicking in iPhoto will open the photo.
The left and right arrow key will move between photos, as well as swiping on a trackpad or Apple mouse.
See >System Preference>Trackpad or mouse for options and tut
While selected or in the smaller icon view hitting the Delete key will delete the pic.
Command Z will undo the last action taken.
Periodically you have to empty the iPhoto trash. iPhoto drop down menu>empty trash
Same applies for viewing pics in a Folder NOT in iphoto, Use the up and down arrows does not work in Preview, but as you know in QuickLook (spacebar) the up and down arrows will navigate.

After upgrading to ios6 my iphone will not open .xls files in emails with the default viewer. Is there a fix for this? The same emailed .xls files still open on my ipad using ios5 while viewing email like they did on my iphone prior to upgrading.

After upgrading to ios6 my iphone will not open .xls files in emails with the default viewer. Is there a fix for this? The same emailed .xls files still open on my ipad using ios5 while viewing email like they did on my iphone prior to upgrading. I have no special software like numbers or anything else installed on either device. Just using the default viewer provided by apple for viewing email.

The attachment is an .xls excel 97-2003 spreadsheet. I viewed the file in the email and did not edit it with any software. I can forward the file to anyone that is may want to check it out to see if they can help me. I was wondering if there was some way of forcing another ios6 install on my phone and maybe that would solve it.
Is there anyone out there that is viewing .xls files in email using ios6 w/o any other software installed like numbers or any other add ons? I am not upgrading my ipad from ios5 to ios6 so I can still continue to view the emails on my ipad. Is there an email viewer .xls plug-in that will be availablle in the next ios6 update?
