Issues with phone not opening apps with one click, it takes three. HELP!!!

My iPhone 4s is doing something really weird.  I was using it this morning as I was setting up all my apps and I guess I had too many opened because it freaked out and froze up on me so I did a soft reset by holding the home button and power buttons down.  Well when I restarted the phone I noticed when I tried to put in my security code that when I would click on a number that it would put a box around that number but then I would have to double click for it to choose that number.  And I had to do that for every single selection.  Even once I got through the lock screen I had to keeping do that to open up anything and to choose anything within an app.  I've reset the phone multiple times now and still having issues.  I also went into the multitask bar and closed out all the open apps hoping it would unload the processor or something, still no change. PLEASE HELP!

  • Unable to close open apps with double clicking the button and when I tap screen does not respond?

    Cannot not close open apps with double clicking the button Since downloading iOS8.

    What happens when you try? Does double clicking the ?home button bring up the Task Bar of recently used apps? If so what happens when you flick up on the preview screen for the app you want to close?
    To quit an app double click the Home button to reveal the row of recently used apps. Flick up on the page preview and it will fly away and disappear. That quits the app.

    You create the playlist on the other computer which may require moving or copying of the media from the first computer to the second computer.

    Since you can't delete Apple IDs and having multiple Apple IDs can cause confusion, what you may want to do is rename your existing Apple ID to the new email (desired Apple ID).  That would in effect do what you want, get rid of the old and give you the new.

  • OS X Mavericks, problems with all apps, can not open App Store, messages, contacts, face time etc... only safari, iTunes, mail can be opened....

    Can not open App Store, messages, contacts, face time, contacts, photo booth etc... only safari, iTunes, mail can be opened.... help me.

    Lanny here are the startup key sequences on wired keyboards to know for future reference:
    SHIFT - safe boot.
    command-S single user mode to run fsck
    command-R to run a recovery boot.
    command-option-P-R to reset the PRAM on Macs younger than 4 years, or whose PRAM battery is younger.
    command-option-O-F to boot into open firmware.
    D key to boot hardware test on an Intel Mac - for pre-July 20, 2011 Macs, this means having the original installer discs.
    Option key - Startup Manager.
    Option = Alt key on Windows keyboards.
    Command key may be Windows key on Windows keyboards, or cloverleaf or Apple logo key on Apple keyboards.
    Other startup sequences are here:

  • Is anyone facing the similar problem of visible lag while opening app with 3G data on? It seems apple has made 5s slow to improve iphone 4 performance.5s was very smooth on 7.0.6 even with 3G data on. Is this a bug? Is apple going to fix this soon?

    I have same Problem. I tried all options - Reset All Settings, Erase Content & reset all settings, Upgrated to IOS8.1, Restore using iTune. But problem persists.
    When I turn Cellular Data or Wifi ON, then there is a lag while opening the Apps. But If I turn Data/Wifi off, phone becomes super fast. I have checked with my friends. They are not facing this issue. Not sure if Apple know this.

    Hi jcatx2013, we don't really have enough information on your system to make specific suggestions...
    Could you test in Firefox's Safe Mode? That's a standard diagnostic tool to bypass interference by extensions (and some custom settings). More info: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]].
    You can restart Firefox in Safe Mode using
    Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
    In the dialog, click "Start in Safe Mode" (''not'' Reset)
    Any difference?

  • How can I have a Pages document that is shared with me under my Pages section and not open it with the link?

    How can I have a Pages document that is shared with me under my Pages section and not open it with the link?

    Try this.
    Open the document and select and copy a few pages, say ten pages.
    Open a new blank document and paste the pages you copied into that.
    Save it with a new name.
    Work on those new pages to see if the problem has disappeared.
    If this helps, continue breaking up the large file in to smaller chunks and working on them
    You can of course later reverse the process and merge the files into one new one.
    This suggestion is based on my experiences with large Word files. Breaking it up in to smaller chunks does two things. First, if there is any corruption in the old file, the new copies might escape that. Second, the Mac is faster handling the smaller chunks.

  • Why is my CD with documents not opening with my MacBook Pro?

    Why is my CD with documents not opening on my MacBook Pro?  I have inserted the CD and keep saying that it is not apple apps.

    I think I'm running iTunes 11.1.2.
    Also, my computer isn't even recognising it - its just saying my USB ports are power surging.
    (Thanks for your help! )

    Thank you Shootist007. I cannot do even Update now. I probably should have spent the same amount of money on a new IMac!
    No not really. If this is a brand new Macbook Pro take it back for a refund. Apple has a 14 day No Questions Asked return policy for Full refund.
    Take it back, get the Full Refund (DO NOT LET THEM TRY TO FIX IT. YOU BOUGHT A NEW COMPUTER NOT ONE THAT HAS BEEN WORKED ON OR NEEDS TO BE FIXED) and then decide whether to buy another Macbook Pro or the iMac. Or you could return it, get the Full refund and buy some other brand computer.

  • I CAN NOT open Iphoto with the new Mavericks????

    I can not open Iphoto with the new Mavericks, I changed Dutch for English but stil nothing ....

    Hi Kevertjes,
    Thank you for the update.  I recommend verifying that you are signed in with the same Apple ID associated with or used to purchase iPhoto on the App Store under the Store menu. 
    If you are signed in with an alternate Apple ID, I recommend signing out of the App Store, signing back in with the correct Apple ID, and then trying the update again:
    Sign out
    Choose Store > Sign Out.
    Sign in using an Apple ID
    Choose Store > Sign In, or click Sign In in the Quick Links section. The Quick Links section is located in the right part of the window shown when you click Featured, Top Charts, or Categories in the toolbar.
    Enter your Apple ID and password, and then click Sign In.
    Mac App Store: Sign in and out

  • OTM can not open attachment with Word Document(*.docx)

    With more and more use of Word Document(*.docx) (version 2007). OTM (Oracle Test Manager) can create an attachment with it, but can not open attachment with Word Document(*.docx). Is this a problem for anyone else? Any wok around?
    Thanks
    Katherine

    I am using OTM version 9.2 and the Word document (*.docx) attachment can be opened in this.
    For being able to open a docx file, try to attach an word document from the file option in the Requirements, Test or Issue tabs in OTM , once you upload the file, please check if location is " in Database" Else click update DB and upload the document.
    Once the attachment is attached to the Attachment section in the right pane, clicking on the attachment will open the *.docx document.
    This has worked for me.
    Hope this helps.

    Saw this on another post.
    Applecare Senior Advisor Txx Bxxx (I have his contact info in an email he just sent) just confirmed with me that the problem people are having with the App Store not loading is an apple issue with there servers, ITS NOT YOUR IPAD so don't go restoring it!   It's not happening to everyone however but they are looking into it, its really hit or miss.

    Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
    This works for some users. Not sure why.
    Go to Settings>General>Date and Time> Set Automatically>Off. Set the date ahead by about a year.Then see if you can connect to the store.
