My I Phone 4 keeps putting me on hold or mute or hanging up on me from my face touching the screen. returned one phone and now my replacement is doing the same thing. this is crazy. my iphone 3 didn't do this! the screen is suppose to turn black when it is near my ear so that you can not do this and then turn on again when you pull it away. This phone is not doing this.

Are you using a case around your phone? If yes, did you make sure the proximity sensor is not covered?
Try without the cover to make sure the sensor is working.
A protection film on your screen can also cover the sensor and result in a dysfunction of the sensor.

Perform a Reset... Try again...
Reset ( No Data will be Lost )
Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
Wait for the Apple logo to Appear...
Usually takes about 15 - 20 Seconds... ( But can take Longer...)
Release the Buttons...

My iphone 4 lock button is broken but each time i click on an app, the screen will turn black and go back to my home screen. How can i fix this?

Basics from the manual are restart, reset, restore. Try them.

HT5624 I just updated the software on my iPad and now can't get all the open files to close as I used to in older version. When I double-click the round button, the open programs show up, but I can't hold down to have the "x" appear to close them. Help.

I just downloaded the updated software and now can't shut down open programs like I used to by holding downthe round button, having them appear at the bottom of the screen, holding them down for the "x" to appear and then closing them by clicking "x". I can get the program icons to appear, but don't know how to shut them off now.

Swipe up or drag up on the app window to close the app.

"You have to change your router's IP address to be able to access it. It will not give you the internet."
I'm not sure what that means Richard, but I did change the router's IP address from 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.5.1- isn't that what you meant in your first post. I know that isn't reflected in my screen capture that I took last night, but I did do that this morning after I read your post.
"Log on to your router and change two settings.
Change the setting in Setup from PPPoE to Automatic Configuration-DHCP and click on save.
Click on Advance Routing and change the setting from Gateway to Router then click on save."
I did this and still same results as far as I can tell. Can't get online through the router.
"Click on MAC address clone under setup tab ... click enable & click clone ...click save settings ... Check the IPaddress under WAN page ....
If getting IP in public range .... try going online ...."
I tried this- at least to the part about checking the IP address under WAN. I assume you mean the WAN page in the modem setup- nothing looked any different after trying what you suggested, and I'm not really sure where I would be "getting IP in public range" or what that means.
I'm about to give up and just buy a new router to see if I can get the same lack of results with a different one. My ISP maintains that everything is set up correctly on their end and really can't do anything more for me. The Modem works and is set up correctly and they can give tech support for a router.
Here's what my basic setup looks like now:

You must have had find my iPhone on, or it was locked by your phone carrier.
Call your our cell carrier first.
then log on to a computer to iCloud to erase your iPhone.
NOW... You will be able to setup with a backup.

I transfered a picture folder to my tc and now it occupies space on the tc but I can't open it. I there a solution for this?

I transfered a picture folder to my Time Capsule (3Gbit) from a external USB, drive thru my Macbook Pro, and now it occupies space on the Time Capsule but I can't open it. Is there a solution for this?

This is super fun with Yosemite.. that cannot open files on network drives..
Have you got the drive mounted in Finder?
Try and change the permissions of the folder in TC.. but I am not sure you are going to find this easy.
I think the best way to fix this is to copy the whole lot back to the external USB via the terminal using a full root login.
So open terminal.. type sudo su
Type in your main administrator password.
Then you can use any of the command line copy tools.. I have just done this with rsync..
The command is rsync -av /source/* /destination/
You should mount both the source and destination in finder.. and you can then drag the folder into the command line.. it will then copy the exact source and destination you want.

My iphone 4 has become extremely sensitive i cant talk on the phone without putting calls on hold, mute or hanging up!! when i'm in a call it's like the screen has become super sensitive to touch! I tried putting a screen protecter but didnt work pls help

While on a call, the iPhone display should go black when lifted to your ear. Is this not happening or only happening intermittently?
Have you tried making calls without your silicone case on? Does this make any difference?
You could try updating or restoring the software to try to rule that out as a cause. If the issue remains after restoring then the issue is probably hardware related and may need to be serviced.

SORRY, the picture is just to illustrate and to better show the area where the time display is located, same place in the iPhone 3gs, to my knowledge, the location is the same, due to the OS on both phones.
Second, run the test to see if it works:
1st test: go to phone mode, select dial key pad, put the tip of your thumb in top of the time display ( the screen will not go black), try to dial.
2nd test: place a call, after starts ringing switch the display to dial pad, put the tip of your thumb on top of the time display, the screen will not go black, try to dial.
THE SCREEN WILL ONLY GO BLACK ( INACTIVE) IF YOU TOUCH A LARGER AREA TO THE TOP OF THE DISPLAY, IF THE THUMB ONLY TOUCHES THE TIME DISPLAY AND A LITTLE PART OF THE AREA WHERE THE NUMBERS APPEAR THE DIAL PAD DID NOT WORK EVEN WITH THE DISPLAY NOT GOING BLACK (INACTIVE).
I am also trying in my wife's iPhone 4 as I right this post and both phones behave the same way.
I found out what I stated above after running tests to see if the case was affecting the phones performance.
Due to the thickness of the case on the sensor area, it really did affect the way the sensor was supposed to work, after I cut that part on the case, the sensor started to work perfectly and the screen turns off during a call like it is supposed to do.
So before someone go nuts thinking that the phone is not working and that they have to take it to repair, try seeing if the case is not interfering with the phones performance.

You need to restore the iPad.
Use iTunes to restore your iOS device to factory settings - Apple Support
If that will not work, you will need to use Recovery Mode to restore.
If you can't update or restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support

Does iTunes see your phone?
Do you have a PC or a Mac?

Tell your wife to get her own Apple ID. If you do not want continuity/handoff to work with calls, on both devicesgo to Settings==>>FaceTime==>> Turn OFF iPhone cellular calls.

I upgraded itunes since a pop up stated that I would have to upgrade it so it can recognize my iphone5's new software. I upgraded the itunes and now when I plug in the iphone its asking "set up as new iphone" will this delete everything on my phone?

I upgraded itunes since a pop up stated that I would have to upgrade it so it can recognize my iphone5's new software. I upgraded the itunes and now when I plug in the iphone its asking "set up as new iphone" will this delete everything on my phone? Also why is it forcing me to set up as a new iphone, why doesn't it recognize it like it did before I upgraded iTunes. I'm afaid I will lose all my apps, music, pictures etc. please help. thank you.

You are correct. Corrupted files are in the backup. If you've already restored the iPhone it has been erased and starting over is the way to go in order to eliminate the corrupted files.
Hope that helps

Thank you for the answers so far, but I'll make one correction: I said earlier that the Boston Globe website, boston.com, does not have a mobile site, and I would need to visit their regular website on my iPhone. Actually, I just found out that boston.com has a mobile site, so I'd obviously use that instead of the regular site. By doing that, I'd save a ton of data (I think). Does that change your answers?

My I Phone 4 keeps putting me on hold or mute or hanging up on me from my face touching the screen. returned one phone and now my replacement is doing the same thing. this is crazy. my iphone 3 didn't do this!
