My 3GS screen has frozen help?

My iPhone 3GS screen has frozen. This is the 2nd time it has done this but I cat remember how to fix it. Help?

Reset, hold both home and power buttons until the iPhone begins to start, usually takes about 10 seconds of holding both buttons. If still problem, connect iPhone to Wall Charger and Reset, this can often take 20 seconds time of holding both buttons.

  • Just got my  new phone - tried to download from app store and screen has frozen. Help?

    Just got my new iphone and tried to download Angry Birds from the app store.  BUT screen has frozen.  Any suggestions?

    Reset the iPhone by pressing and holding the sleep/wake button and the home button for 20 seconds (maybe longer) until the Apple logo appears, ignore the red slider.  Then turn back on. You won't lose any data doing the reset.

  • My email screen has frozen what to do to fix

    Hi can anyone help me please? My email screen has frozen so can't move the page up or down to read content. Can't access any other emails from the open page however I can go to notifications at top of page to open a new email but then same thing...screen frozen and I can't scroll up or down. Help!

    Try closing the Mail app via the multitasking bar and see if it works when you re-open the app :
    iOS 6 and below : from the home screen (i.e. not with the Mail app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Mail app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
    iOS 7 : doubleclick the home button to open the bar, then swipe or drag up the Mail app from there and off the top of the screen
    If that doesn't fix it then try a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

    Try to reboot it. Hold down the sleep and home keys until you see the silver apple, about 20 seconds or so. It should reboot and work for you.

  • Ipad2 touch screen has frozen and none of the apps will open. I can't do a shut down to reboot?

    My Ipad2 touch screen has frozen and none of the apps will open. I can't do a shut down to reboot?

    Sorry, darned auto correct. Sleep and home. The home is the button on the front of your iPad. The sleep button is also the power down button. It's on the upper right edge of your iPad.
    My apologies for the typo. My keyboard is charging and the onscreen keyboard and I don't get along well.

  • My e-mail screen has frozen showing the message "cannot download the attachment". Touching the "OK" button does nothing.

    My Ipad e-mail screen has frozen while trying to download a photo attachment. An error message "cannot download attachment" is on the screen but touching "OK" does not clear it. Any suggestions please?

    You can also Force close apps
    1. Double tap the home button to bring up the multi-tasking view
    2. Swipe the app's windows upwards to close
    3. The app will fly off the screen

    You said that you keep getting the error code 1604. Did you try putting the iPad into recovery mode and when the error code appears - close iTunes and restart iTunes while the iPad is connected to your PC?
    Error 1604: This error is often related to USB timing. Try changing USB ports, uninstalling and reinstalling USB ports, and other available USB troubleshooting steps (troubleshooting USB connections, device not recognized properly, computer won't recognize a FireWire or USB device). If you are using a dock, bypass it and connect directly to the white Apple USB dock connector cable. If the issue persists on a known-good computer, the device may need service.
    If the issue is not resolved by USB isolation troubleshooting, and another computer is not available, try these steps to resolve the issue:
    Connect the device to iTunes, confirm that the device is in Recovery Mode. If it's not in Recovery Mode, put it into Recovery Mode.
    Restore and wait for error 1604.
    When prompted, click OK.
    Close and reopen iTunes while iPhone remains connected.
    iPhone should now be recognized in Recovery Mode again.
    Try to restore again.
    If the steps above do not resolve the issue, try restoring using a known-good USB cable, computer, and network connection.

  • The touch screen has frozen and is unresponsive.

    The touch screen has frozen and is unresponsive. I tried synching it to my Mac, updating it, dumping my apps and resetting as new, as the tech support guy at Apple suggested, but it still does not work. Now what? Sadly, my warrenty has expired.

    Frozen as on a particular image?
    If so you might want to try a hard power down (if you haven't already).
    I'm sure there are some better people to actually answer your direct question, other than me.
    Sorry

  • My nano screen has frozen

    my nano screen has freezen and wont go back to normal.... is there any way i can unfreeze it? does any one know please help!!!!

    What exactly do you mean "frozen?" Will it not respond to the Click Wheel? Or is the Rating showing at the bottom of the screen, rather than the progress through the song (or artwork, or fast-forward, or anything instead of progress through song)?
