IPhone quitting applications and not recognizing mail read

Within the past few days my iPhone has been acting up. When I try to surf the web, view my email, or pretty much anything else, the phone will unexpectedly quit the app and return to the home screen. I have heard about this happening to other people but is there a solution. I can honestly only use any app for about 1 minute before the home screen pops back up. Also, I'm not sure if this is a related issue but when I can view my email, it'll register as viewed but after returning to the home screen it still has a number in the inbox. Returning to the inbox shows those same messages as not seen yet. How do I fix this?
Vitals - 8GB iPhone, about 1 month old, no damage
Macbook 2.0 GHz, Intel Chip
Installed Leopard about a week ago

Think back to Windows 95. Leaving it running all the time, and eventually gets unstable. (note turning it off doesn't turn it off really...more like suspend mode on a laptop...keeping all stuff in memory and going to sleep).
I would say do a reboot (a real power down and reload the OS and have all apps ready to get started....have to remember, when you leave an app, it just goes to standby, it doesn't close).
To reboot:
Go to Home
Press and hold Home
Press and hold Lock button (so holding both)
It will in time say Slide to Turn off (don't let go, keep holding both)
It will eventually turn off
Keep holding
Once you see the Apple Logo, you can let go.
To add about the App thing going to stand by when you go to home screen and not really closing....if you ever want to really close an App because it keeps messing up, you can go into that App...then press and hold the Home Button. You will see it close out and then return you to home screen (don't just press home button but hold it). That is a good first start with apps that start acting up. But the reboot described above is a great tool to know

  • Brand new iPhone 4 frozen and not recognized by iTunes

    I got a replacement for my iPhone 4 today and it got disconnected while i was putting my old backup on the device, Now it is stuck on the apple with a loading bar and is not recognized when i plug it into iTunes?

    As AM_Kidd says, but I would do the Reset while connected to Wall Charger, and hold both buttons for at least 20 seconds. If this does not work. And you decide to Restore the Firmware. Then.
    Open iTunes on computer. Connect iPhone to computer. Hold both Home and Power buttons until iTunes recognizes iPhone in Recovery Mode. This usually takes about 20 seconds of holding both buttons. Then Restore the Firmware.

    Hi NeoCK,
    According to your description, you can access your report successfully, but it fail to send e-mail subscription. Right?
    In this scenario, since you can access the report successfully, so this user has permission on report server. Please go to E-mail setting in your Reporting Services Configuration Manager, check if the current user has permission on that SMTP server.
    If this is still not working, please recreate the subscription and try again.

  • Lately, I've been getting a blue screen in the midst of working and have to do a cold reboot to end it. Seems to happen when I'm closing windows or quitting applications. Not always, but sporadically. What causes this? I'm using 10.6.8 on early 2011 MBP.

    Lately, I've been getting a blue screen in the midst of working and have to do a cold reboot to end it. Seems to happen when I'm closing windows or quitting applications. Not always, but sporadically. What causes this? I'm using 10.6.8 on early 2011 MBP. Thanks for any help/advice!

    You have 10.6 on that machine, I suggest you stick with it for performance, third party hardware and software reasons as long as possible.
    Consider 10.8 (not 10.7) when it's released, because 10.7 and 10.8 will require a new investment in software and newer third party hardware as it requires newer drivers the old machines won't have. (forced upgrade because of software, really nice of them)

    Far as your Safari problem do these things until it's resolved:
    1: Software Update fully under the Apple menu.
    2: Check the status of your plug-ins and update (works for all browsers) also install Firefox and see if your problems continue. You should always have at least two browsers on the machine just in case one fails.

  • How can I remove the entire group "On My iPhone" under contact and notes?

    I am using iCloud to sync my contact and notes. It's pretty good right now since it can maintain a signle copy of each without duplicate entries.
    However, the outstanding issue is that I want to remove the entire group "On My iPhone" under contact and notes as a lot of duplicates inside there.
    How can I do that? Or de-duplicateing the entries there is also fine.  Thanks.

    I found a solution for this by using iCloud and iTunes. It is applicable to Mac users.
    For Contacts
    1. Make a source copy of contacts without any duplication in iCloud contact.
    2. Remove any groups in Address Book in your Mac, so that the number of contacts in iCloud is equal to that in All Contacts in Address Book.
    3. Launch iTunes. Connect your iOS device. Go to Summary tab. Mark "Back up to iCloud" button
    4. Go to Info tab, Click "Sync Address Book Contact" and then select "All contact"
    5. Check "Contacts" under "Replace information on this iPhone" at the bottom.
    6. Click "Apply" button at the bottom of the iTunes.
    Your iOS device will be replaced with the "Contacts" from Address Book with "On My Mac" group, which contains zero contacts records.
    7. Uncheck "Sync Address Book Contact" again. A dialog box appears, stating that iTunes will no longer sync contacts to your iOS device. Click "Remove contacts" button in the dialog box.
    8. Click "Apply" button at the bottom of the iTunes.
    9. After sync, you will get a "All on My iPhone" group on your iOS device with zero contacts, one All Contacts showing all contacts records, and the other is the "All iCloud" group containing the source copy from iCloud.
    For Notes
    1. Make sure you have a me.com account enabled in your iCloud for Mail & Notes sync
    2. Using Mail, you can move and de-duplicate the notes and make a final copy in the Notes under iCloud. Clear all notes records under other sources. e.g. On My Mac, Gmail, etc.
    3. Launch iTunes. Connect your iOS device. Go to Summary tab. Mark "Back up to iCloud" button
    4. Go to Info tab, Click "Sync notes" under Other section
    5. Check "Contacts" under "Replace information on this iPhone" at the bottom.
    6. Click "Apply" button at the bottom of the iTunes.
    Your iOS device will be replaced with the "notes" from Mac with "On My Mac" group, which contains zero notes records.
    7. Uncheck "Sync notes" again. A dialog box appears, stating that iTunes will no longer sync notes to your iOS device. Click "Remove notes" button in the dialog box.
    8. Click "Apply" button at the bottom of the iTunes.
    9. After sync, you will no longer get any accounts in Notes. The only copy of Notes is from iCloud.

  • 2 problems, iPod nano battery depleted and not recognized by Windows, help!

    Earlier this morning. At first when I connected the usb to the computer I got the screen in the nano that said "apple.com/ipod/support" or something like that, with the folder/exclamation mark icon. It was charging but I disconnected it cause I had to go. I tried to do the same at night but this time is when it's totally dead, and not recognized at all. What can I do now?
    I havent used the nano in a while and the battery is depleted, so I tried to charge it but neither windows or itunes or the updater/restore recognize it.
    I'm on a laptop, I already tried most of the stuff in the faqs but it wont work.

    i kind of have the same porblem, my klaptop does regcognize the ipod on "my computer" but the iPod dosen't shows up in iTunes, and i have tried almost everything in the faq that show how to fix the problem, but it still dosen't work....

  • IPod stuck in "do not disconnect" and NOT recognized by iTunes

    I updated to 7.1.1.... and my iPod is not stuck in "do Not disconnect" and not recognized by iTunes.
    I have tried the Toshiba "Safely Remove Hardware" -- and selecting the iPOD -- but, notice comes back "cannot disconnect now because a program is accessing the device."
    Anyone know where I can go from here??? Thanks very much.

    the same thing happened to me yesterday after downloading the new itunes 7.1.1 the do not dissconnect would'nt go off and computer and itunes would'nt reconize my ipod video.
    so i left it alone overnight to empty battery completely.
    the do not disconnect was gone in the morning then i recharged it and plugged it back in to computer and everything is fine. i don't know why it froze on me.
    my husbands ipod mini had a similar problem awhile back and i did the same and it also was fine.

  • HT5639 after The Boot Camp for Windows 8? DVD Drive Not Recognized or Reading CD/DVD

    after i made The Boot Camp Setup  for running Microsoft Windows 8? DVD Drive Not Recognized or Reading CD/DVD

    thanks for the response
    1. Yeah I thought that's a mandatory thing because i need to be able to control the brightness with my keyboard, updated graphics card, boot camp control panel, etc
    2. No there's no enable for this because Windows 8 recognizes it as a "disconnected device" and asks me to reconnect the dvd drive to the machine (which it obviously already is).
    3. Ive tried those before, also even editing the registry but it didnt work.
    It's weird because it never happened before on Snow Leopard » Lion bootcamp driver updates. Just in Mountain Lion

  • To Do's and Notes in Mail - why?

    Can someone explain me how does creating To Do's and Notes in Mail.app make sense, and possibly what might be the Apple's future route on implementation of To Do's and Notes?
    I am currently using To Do's in iCal and Notes in iPhone. Unfortunately neither can be synchronized. This seems weird to me and and the addition of To Do's and Notes to Mail.app makes me worried that it will go even worse. But maybe I just don't understand how this is meant to be used, and so explanation would help me.
    Right now, I simply don't understand what To Do's and Notes have to do in Mail. Mail is a communication tool, so I think that everything in Mail should have a sender and a recipient. Notes are something I write for myself, so I cannot find any thinking path from Note to Mail.
    Even stronger is my misunderstanding of To Do's in Mail. If you go to any time management training, one of the first thing you learn is that there is not sense for To Do without a due date. The rule is simple - To Do without due date will never be done. And for a task with a due date, I can hardly think of any less logical place to deal with than a calendar, where I can simply reserve a time to work on that task.
    So if Apple is going to simply add Notes and To Do's synchronization to iPhone, I will be more than happy. But if the rumors are correct about Apple not going to do that, I will greatly appreciate someone explain this "new way of thinking" to me, so that I can re-train myself to use these tools the way that will be compatible with iPhone...

    when you select and open an email, you need to select text within the email to be able to create a to do.
    hope this helps

  • I run in an area without wifi and poor cell reception. How do I keep my tunes on the iPhone 6 plus and not in the cloud

    I run in an area without wifi and poor cell reception. How do I keep my tunes on the iPhone 6 plus and not in the cloud

    Hi Delecee,
    You can easily do that by downloading the music before you get to that area of weak Wi-Fi and cellular signal by downloading the music directly from the Music app by tapping the cloud button next to songs. The other option is to sync the music with iTunes over USB to have the songs downloaded to your phone. Take a look at the links below to get your music downloaded to your iPhone.

  • Please assist. How can I make all the photos on my Iphone visible? and not only the recently added ones? I'm using IOS 8

    Please assist. How can I make all the photos on my Iphone visible? and not only the recently added ones? I'm using IOS 8

    Did you move to iOS 8 via iTunes?  Your photos should all be on your iPhone 5s without any issues even if you updated via WiFi.  The update should have no impact on your photos other than to have moved any photos in your former Camera Roll to your Photos.  When opening the Photo App you should see Photos and Albums available at the bottom of the screen.  You can also look at Settings>General>About and looking down the list your should see the word Photos and a Count at the right.  This count should represent all of the photos in your iPhone.
