IPhone slow then crash

Has anybody else suffered with their iPhone 4 working really slowly then shutting down altogether. It just happened to me! It has been slow for about a week ie opening folders from main screen took about 5-10 seconds! The screen just went totally black and the phone was completely unresponsive. I just held power and home button for about 20 secs and it rebooted and works at normal speed now. Any ideas?

I can tell you one thing if it happens again reboot your phone.. sounds like it was low on memory

  • Photobucket site and other sites cause Firefox v19 to "freeze" and crash. All the time. Photobucket causes Firefox v19, to slow, then crash.

    If you view photos for an extended time, or open a few tabs, Photobucket will cause Firefox to slow down, eventually freeze, then crash. This only started occurring when I updated to Firefox v19.0. This freezing and blanking out of the entire screen image of Firefox will occur when another program, such as Windows mail, is loading at the same time. It also is occurring at random times for no reason. I've never experienced a problem such as this with Firefox or Mozilla, ever. Nothing is preventing this from happening. I have Vista Home Premium, SP2. Dell Inspiron 530s.

    When you have a problem with one particular site, a good "first thing to try" is clearing your Firefox cache and deleting your saved cookies for the site.
    (1) Bypass Firefox's Cache
    Use Ctrl+Shift+r to reload the page fresh from the server.
    Alternately, you also can clear Firefox's cache completely using:
    orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Options > Advanced
    On the Network mini-tab > Cached Web Content : "Clear Now"
    If you have a large hard drive, this might take a few minutes.
    (2) Remove your Photobucket cookies (save any pending work first). While viewing a page on the site:
    * right-click and choose View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
    * Alt+t (open the classic Tools menu) > Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
    Then try reloading the page. Does that help at all?

  • New Ipod touch slowed, then crashed. What now?

    My new Touch has been working fine for about a month. Tonight without any apparent cause it slowed drastically and became nearly unresponsive for a few (maybe ten) minutes, then crashed entirely! Now all I see is a "loading" icon, overlaid above an "apple" icon. Help?!? Can't I even reboot this thing or anything? Agh!

    You're Welcome... Pity about the road...

  • Complicated Mask Causes Motion 3 to Slow then Crash

    I have a very frustrating problem with Motion 3. I'm rotoscoping a person in a clip from FCP. Essentially, I'm making him color and the background B&W. Making the mask went fine and the first few frames keyframing were also fine. After a couple of minutes though, moving a control point became difficult. There was a noticable pause from the time when I clicked and dragged to the time when the control point actually moved. I have about 50 or so control points so the slowdown causes me to spend several minutes on each frame and since the person is moving, I have to keyframe EVERY frame over a several second clip.
    After a few minutes of slowdown, Motion will crash on me. Sometimes there's a hint that it's about to crash (I'll move the mask, but the opaque part of the mask won't move to reflect the new position of the control points), sometimes it just shuts off. I've lost a TON of time restarting. Once restarted however, everything works great and the control points move instantly for a couple of keyframed frames, and then it starts slowing down again.
    It kinda feels like the RAM on my system is just being held up until I run out and then the program crashes. Here are as many details as I can think of to offer.
    Motion 3.0.2
    Project Cache is set to 80% total memory
    No other programs running.
    Clips are DV/NTSC self-contained QT files exported from FCP
    NVIDIA GeForce 7300 GT 256 vram

    Hi guys
    I've been making some titles and splash screens for a film I am making in Motion 3 and hit a brick wall when I started getting graphics card freezes and total system meltdowns. My MacBook has always been fine with motion and I depressingly attributed it to a bug when using extensive and complex masks (the composition contains loads of them) and multi-layered photoshop and illustrator media. I was convinced it wasn't my graphics card as everything else it does is fine. The nature of the comp meant I couldn't split the masks up and when I tried it crashed anyway.
    It was then after persevering for a week that I managed to fix the problem. This might not be the case with you guys - I'm sure you have more idea than me, but I changed the project properties to an 8bit float and not a 32 bit one. I don't think I ever made a switch to 32bit and thought it was weird that it was 32bit in the Motion 3 file. After switching back to 8 the file runs really smoothly again without any problems and handles the masks as well as I was used to in Motion 2. I hope this helps anyone with the same problem in the future, I know it was a real pain dealing with the crashes and a really simple fix.

  • Having problems with OS X 10.4 updates. System slows then crashes.

    Hi there,
    Got an older G4 400MHz and have done a clean install of Tiger OS X 10.4 from the DVD onto a new hard drive. Have done the software updates to 10.4.11 and, for some reason, after a while the cursor freezes. I do a restart and the same thing happens. I have done an Erase in Utilities and then reinstalled and only did partial updates to 10.3. But after a while the same thing happens. Panther 10.3.9 is on the the second hard drive and it runs as smooth as glass. It runs iTunes up to 7.5 but 7.6 only runs on 10.4x.
    I cant figure this out. A local Apple dealer told me I should be able to do the 10.4.11 updates and he's done it on an older G4 with no problems. Could this be a system requirements problem? Does Tiger require a faster processor? 10.4 works but just. Or do I have to do a firmware update?
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Take care,
    RD

    ali,
    I didn't get back last night because of a certain football game on TV. WOW is the only word for it. It wore me out. I'm not exactly a Giants fan but I love upsets and close games that end like that. I think the whole country (and world) saw a truly unforgettable Super Bowl, one for the ages and perhaps one of the ten best ever. Not only that but the 1972 Miami Dolphins perfect season of 17-0 shall be preserved, maybe for another 35 years. I remember their 17-0 season with much fondness from my college days, and I'm from South Florida. Oops, I hope you're not a Patriots fan?
    Anyway back to this issue.
    *+If the Firmware, has already been updated, you won't need to do it again.+*
    I did a Firmware update when I was still using 0S 9 and upgrading to Jaguar a few years back. I did the PRAM resets, too.
    *+Check the System Profiler first, to possibly save yourself some time.+*
    I did and it read: Boot ROM Version: 4.2.8f1.
    *+Yes, that's a Kernel Panic.+*
    *+Additional Kernel Panic info.+*
    I read that and it was helpful. There are some workarounds involving holding down the X key etc.
    *+Disconnect all peripherals, except the keyboard & mouse, and see if the system runs more successfully.+*
    I disconnected my Firewire DVD burner. I have a printer and a scanner running off a USB port hub. I'll disconnect them on my next attempt to work in 10.4 on the other hard drive.
    *+Use this utility Rember, to test the RAM.+*
    Download complete and I ran a test on 640MB of SDRAM. The test just finished and I have a log report. As follows:

    Oops, only 308MB of the 640MB allocated on the four slots seem to be working. Is that what you read? They are in 1 256MB and 3 128MB sets. I have some back up RAM in a drawer I took out of an old iMac G4. I'll replace some of it and run the test again.
    *+Also run the Apple Hardware Test.+*
    That requires a CD which I don't have. My wife has a iMac G5 which she guards jealously and she may have Hardware Test CD. She may also have a OS 9 Classic Support CD which I need to install Classic on the 8GB partition I created before my latest Erase and clean install. Is 8GB enough for Classic on an 80GB hard drive? I don't think Classic will solve the kernel issue. I had Classic partitioned before on another hard drive, before I bought the new 80GB, and had the same OS X 10.4x update crashes. The cursor becomes unstable and then suddenly freezes usually about 5-7 minutes after booting.
    NOTE: In the kernel panic doc, there is mention of resetting the PRAM. Could the problem be my PRAM battery? I think it needs replacing. I've been getting the message "your computer is set to the wrong date". It presets to Jan 1 1970. A date I remember well. Hung over and sick after a drunken New Year's Eve saying farewell to the 60s and hello to the 70s on a beach.
    You may be right, this isn't a software issue, it's probably corrupt hardware that's easily replaceable.
    Later,

  • CS4 Extremely slow, and crashing on save

    Illustrator CS4 is taking hours to save bigger files with semi-complicated drawings.  Seeing a lot of the rotating beach ball.  This drawing happens to have many gradients, a drop shadow and also a glow.  Sometimes it takes all night to save the file.  Now it seems any bigger file, such as 100mg's will work extremely slow, then crash on save.  Any way to speed this up or fix the problem?  I'm missing a deadline due to repeated work that has crashed over the course of a week.  Thanks.

    If you don't need the file to be compatible with other Creative Suite software (to e.g. place it there or open it) then you might try  and turn off PDF compatibility.
    Also try and turn off compression.

    I have this excact problem too, Deleting the the app and then reinstalling it won't delete your photos as they are stored on facebooks servers. You will just have to remember you username and password to sign in again. Ever since Facbook bought instagram i have had this problem on my 4S too.

    Why that when I record a video in my iPhone 4s then I will transfer it to my laptop, the video is in slow motion? Please help so that I can use always my video recording feature. Thanks!

    Video is synced from the computer to the iPhone via iTunes. You need to load the video into iTunes, make sure it is iPhone compatible before you do that, and once it is in iTunes, then sync to the iPhone.
    Never said what computer OS you were using. Also, the computer processor, amount of RAM can make a difference with HD video.

  • ITunes deletes my iPhone 4 apps, then crashes and doesn't work

    Yes, my music library contains 70 gb of music, which I've spent years collecting, rating and making playlists with etc. Everytime I try and synch with my iPod it tells me the L: drive is not available, but after a few attempts it synchs everything. I try the same with iPhone 4 and iTunes deletes all the apps and then crashes.
    When I reopen iTunes it hangs my PC. I reboot again and it attempts to reload all 70 gb by reading the XML file, which is corrupt by this point, and has to go through each track to reassociate it to iTunes. Then the procedure starts all over again - I attempt to synch my iPhone and it breaks again. AAAAAARGH.
    I'm at the end of my tether. I've spent too many hours attempting to fix this problem.

    i should've also mentioned that none of these problems occurred until after in tried syncing up to itunes on my pc. I've tried normal stuff like turning off/on, etc. have not done a hard reset for fear of losing everything on my phone. Don't really know what to do.

  • Replaced charger dock, unresponsive home button then crashed on logo screen now Iphone is unresponsive!!!

    have had to replace the charger dock on my 3GS, i done this succesfully and everything worked apart from the home button. I left it to charge, it got to the apple logo screen and froze. after about 10 mins the screen went black. its now none responsive!
    I keep getting told to hold the power and home button to restart the phone but this doesnt work as the home button doesnt work for some strange reason?!
    Also the phone isnt showing teh charging symbol?!
    Its been n charge all night and no response, Ive attached it to my laptop  with Itunes and no response????
    Its very very odd as it was working fine then crashed. I think its a software problem but cant activate the phone to update this
    Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaseeee help

    There is no way an iPhone 3G is under warranty... they have not been sold in over 2yrs.
    Either find a local place to repair it or buy a new one.

  • BF tried to update to ios6 on iphone 4 but crashed half way through saying it needed to plugged into iTunes and then restored so after it was 'restoring' he had an error message come up say to couldn't be restored....what should be do next?

    BF tried to update to ios6 on iphone 4 but crashed half way through saying it needed to plugged into iTunes and then restored so after it was 'restoring' he had an error message come up say to couldn't be restored....what should be do next as the phone is in a complete non working condition

    Spent hours trying everything suggested and finally this morning hit on a solution. iTunes must be run as an administrator. Even though you are logged into your PC as an administrator, using the iTunes shortcut does not make you an administrator in iTunes. I found this out by using the diagnostics in iTunes and reading through the results report.
    I am using Windows 7, so I clicked the start button and right clicked on iTunes and selected "Run as an adimistrator". The first restore attempt got the 4013 error. I then did the DFU thing, hold power and home buttons for 10 seconds, release power and continue holding home for 10 more seconds.
    iTunes gave me the restore message and I clicked it. I clicked the restore iPhone button and it started. The drivers loaded a couple of times. I got the apple logo with the progress bar and this time instead of disappearing, it started to fill in.
    End result, a successful restore to factory settings and a happy 14 year old.
    Hope this helps others.

  • IPod Touch videos won't show then crash and apps respond slow

    Here's the deal, I bought his iPod a couple months ago, 3rd generation 64GB and I could put videos on it fine and they would come up and I could play them, now since I updated it with 4.2 or 4.1 software from iTunes everything's running slower. My iPod takes longer to respond when I open an app or it just crashes and brings me back home. My video (standard) app won't even show any of my videos, it's just a white screen and then crashes. What happened and how do I fix it?

    I'm also having the same problem with the Videos app - interestingly enough, also with a 64GB 3rd Gen. Touch running 4.2.1 (build 8C148). Try to open Video app, it goes to white screen for a bit, then quits.
    Checked out another thread (http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=12678404&#12678404) and experienced the same behaviors as well: temporarily works if you change languages; restoring as a new iPod does NOT fix issue; music videos seem to play fine (though it seems to repeat a video, rather than move on to the next); and all that.
    The more I read about it, the more this seems to be a glitch in iOS. Moreover, it seems to be related to music videos somehow. Seems that the Music Videos and regular moves aren't playing nice.
    While music videos do play in the Music app, that's not particularly convenient for me. Going off one of the posts in the above-mentioned thread, I'm going to tray a temporary fix of relabeling my "Music Videos" to "Movies". Seemed things went wrong when Music Videos entered the picture. While a work-around, for me it's a little more usable than the inverse.
    Will report back whether or not this temporary fix works until Apple can release an update addressing this problem.
