My 4S battery died as a message was incoming, "Unread message" icon not going away

My phone battery died as a message was incoming. Now when I charged it and turned it back on, the little red 1 on the message icon was there. I opened the message, read it, then went back to the home page..but the icon is still showing one unread message. I rebooted my phone, it went away until i opened the message icon, when I closed it again the 1 came back. Whenever I receive a new message, it just adds to the total, showing 2 even though there is only one!
Any help?

You could simply clean out any muck in there with a soft brush.

IPhone 4S ios7 message notifications not going away

My "messages" icon shows that I have 6 new messages but I've read them and they are still showing up as a little 6 in a red circle. I've done a reset of settings, a full restart and everything. I turned off my iMessages and nothing is working. They aren't iMessages they are text messages all from the same number.

This has happened to me twice after updating to ios7 on my iPhone 4s. Both times it occured after recharging the battery directly from a household electrical outlet. The first thing to do is to turn off the phone, and then turn it back on. This has worked for me so far.
From Apple's ios 7 user guide http://manuals.info.apple.com/MANUALS/1000/MA1565/en_US/iphone_user_guide.pdf
See page 150 for restarting instructions. Basically, just turn the phone off. Wait a moment, then turn it back on.

My messages are not going through or coming in from other iOS devices. Having to send and receive in SMS. What is up? Anyone else having these issues?

There's an article that Apple has acknowledged this issue. They recommend turning off imessages, reset all settings and then reactivate imessages.
If that doesn't work, you may just have to wait until they release an update, which should be pretty soon.

If you had iOS 7 BETA installed, just go to developer.apple.com and log in using your developer account. There are discussions about this issue. Otherwise... for non-developers, I'm afraid you're on your on. Use Google.

Do Not Disconnect message does not go away!

I just purchased my IPod Nano and every time I recharge it on my IBM Windows XP Pro, I get the message "Do Not Disconnect". When I try to eject from Itunes, I get an error message that tells me that "another application is using Itunes" and hence cannot eject. However, I do not have any application open. This "Do Not Disconnect" message doesn't go away even when my battery is fully charged. Can someone share some insight on how to make this problem go away?

The answer could be as simple as you have your iPod enabled for disk use. If this option is switched on then the Do Not Disconnect will stay there until you manually eject your iPod.
Connect your iPod and in iTunes go to Preferences>iPod. Under the Music tab see if your iPod set to automatically sync (automatically update songs and playlists) with iTunes and also has a tick in the box marked “enable disk use". Remove this tick and your iPod should automatically disconnect after it’s finished updating.
If you have your iPod set to manual update, the box will be greyed out and ticked by default, in that case use Safely remove Hardware icon or check this link: Safely Disconnect IPod

Please help me - "Do Not Disconnect" Message Will Not Go Away

I got my ipod late 2006 and it played perfectly until just now. I had it hooked to itunes, unplugged it when it was safe and right away a "do not disconnect message" came on the screen and will not go away. And this message is different from previous ones in that it is not blinking at all. I hooked it up back to itunes and a message came on which says:
"itunes has detected an ipod that appears to be corrupted. You may need to restore this ipod before it can be used with itunes. You may also try disconnecting and reconnecting the ipod".
So should I go ahead and restore it and everything will be alright. Sorry if my query is stupid but I've never had any problems with this ipod (or my previous one) and I don't want to mess up. Thanks for any help.

1. My iPod froze... ...while playing a song or My iPod Won't Turn Off
Reset your iPod. [You will not lose any songs or anything, this is like a 'reboot' for the iPod.]
This is the "catch-all, first try, let's hope it only needs a reset" step that everyone loves:
§ Toggle the Hold switch to on, then back to off (none of the red is showing).
§ Press and hold down the Menu and Select (Center) buttons for 10 seconds
(until you see the Apple logo) as shown in the picture.
2. My iPod Won't Turn Off
The normal way to turn off an iPod is to hold down the Play/Pause button for 2-3 seconds. Sometimes, the iPod gets into a state where this does not work.
The short-term way to fix it, is to reset your iPod. See 2. above.
Some report this symptom is defined as a hard drive fault from the 2006-1-10 Update. Which, for V4 and under versions, and possibly even Nano and Video, the hard drive will not respond to both ways of turning off, or soft reset. forcing the user to restore the iPod. or let the power run dry. The only real solution of this is to find an updater that restores your iPod to a version before the 2006-1-10 updater. (e.g. Updater 2005-6-26. Which reverts to 1.2) Currently, no possible solution is found by Apple. As Apple replies with an automatic response stating to send the iPod in for replacement.
Others report that a restore including a full update to the latest version fixes the problem, the only downside being that of course "restore" wipes all your songs and photos and you have to reload the iPod from scratch. Yet another reason to backup your iPod.

How come my text messages are not going through as iMessages?

I've been having this problem for a few weeks now. When someone texts me from an iPhone with iMessage, I get their texts as a regular text message. Sometimes there text messages come in "s p a c e d o u t l i k e t h i s". I will also get multiple texts as well. When I respond to their text message, it usually goes through as an iMessage but when they respond, still a text message. Does anyone know why this could be happening or what I can do to fix it? I never did the last software upgrade if that helps. I ran into a lot of problems with the previous upgrade so I decided to just never upgrade again.

When you start a new imessage then you get your address book so you can choose who you send it to. There you get the option to choose a number or the email. Then take the email address. If you don`t have one then you must get there email and put it in your address book. Try it

Yes, many are experiencing this issue. A phone reset or going to Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings resolves the issue.
