My iPhone 4 is frozen on the "turn off spinning circle page" Help!!
After I tried to turn off my iPhone 4, it froze on the turn off page where the spinning circle spins before completely turning off. Its been like this for hours! I asked my collegues and my friends and they don't know. I tried to click the awake/sleep button with the home button at the same time and it won't turn off. Neither would clicking the sleep/awake button work where the red slide pops up. I tried connecting it to the computer and it won't load;only an error pops up and won't sync. Please Help!!
Not sure where you are now in trying to fix this? What was the Error # and message?
Lets start over. Reset, Hold both Home and Power Buttons until the iPhone begins to restart.
If nothing, connect to Wall Charger for at least 10 minutes, the iPhone may start on own and be fine. If not, keep connected to Wall Charger and Reset again. If still problem you may need to Restore the iPhone Firmware.
If you decide to Restore Firmware. With iTunes open connect iPhone to Computer. Hold both Home and Power buttons until iTunes recognizes iPhone in Recovery Mode. This usually take 20 seconds. Restore Firmware.
If this does not work then try DFU Mode Restore.
If still problems and you have Warranty or AppleCare Coverage take iPhone to Apple for resolution.

My iPhone 3GS has frozen. It was going slow all day, and has now completely frozen on the turning off screen. Anyone any ideas? Thanks.
The iOs 5.1 is a huge file that needs to be dowloaded when updating/restoring, your phone hasnt completed the update so its now in recovery mode. Look on the left of itunes, it should say downloads under the store section with a spinning wheel, click that and youll see the update file with a time remaining, wait for that download to finish then try the restore again and it should work

Sometimes it will stay at the apple screen and sometimes it just shuts back off. The battery is fully charged.

I'm pretty sure it's mountain lion. Neither of your links worked tho, but thanks for trying! I'm new to Macs and only really know the basics of how to use it. When I power on and hold the option key I can chose to recover my Mac. What will that do? Will I lose pictures and stuff? I just went to Mexico and all my pics are on there and I'd hate to lose them, also lots of pics of my little boy.
Hmmmm, they are both working for me. What happened when you clicked on the links? Any error messages? -
Iphone 4 slide unlock is frozen, unable to turn off the phone
IPHONE 4 SLIDE UNLOCK IS FROZEN, UNABLE TO TURN OFF THE PHONE.
PLEASE ADVISEdo a reset, hold down the home/power button together until you see the apple logo and then release, then wait for the phone to boot back up. Then try powering off your phone.

After updating to iOS 5.0.1 my iphone 4 is frozen on the screen with the apple logo and the progress bar under it. Held the power and home button, the phone shut off, and restarted the progress. If i try to turn the phone on, it keeps telling me to connect to iTunes. Once I do, it asks me to restore, i click restore, but it keeps on freezing at the screen. What is the problem? Error 1603 comes up. Followed the link to apple's page but nothing that was said there worked.

my new iphone 5 is frozen, with the cord to computer symbol on the screen after failing to finish updating to ios 7. iTunes no longer sees the phone. I've tried rebooting the computer, rebooting the iPhone, but iTunes still doesn't see the iPhone.
If your computer doesn't see the phone when you plug it in, you may have to take it to an Apple Store.

Yesterday I bought a new galaxy s5 as a replacement for so iphone 4. I did not turn off iMessage before I activated the new phone and sent in the old one. Now I can't receive any text messages from people with iphones. This is more than half of my contacts. I also can't even contact apple because to do so I have to have the serial number of my old phone. What am I supposed to do?

My elderly mother has EXTREMELY limited vision and is a technophobe. I am considering an iPhone with Siri. Can I turn off everything else so she can use only the phone app and voice dialing or Siri and not accidentally open any other app and screw something up.
I'm asking, in all seriousness, why do you think your mother needs an iPhone? Honestly, if your mother is, as you described her, a technophobe, I would recommend against getting an iPhone or any other smartphone. I've spent a fair bit of time teaching older folks to use smartphones. If they are interested in learning, it's fine. If they have the phone because their kids or grandkids thought it was a good idea but they are afraid of the phone or not interested in its features, it doesn't go well at all.
Many basic phones have voice dialing. Obviously, it doesn't do all the things Siri does but it may be much less intimidating for your mom. Also, basic phones have hardware keys. Even someone with limited vision can learn the keyboard on such a phone. From the sound of your first post, all she will be doing is making phone calls.
Best of luck. -
Does iPhone record when sound is manually turned off via the external side switch?
Does iPhone record when sound is manually turned off via the external side switch? Enquiring minds want to know.
Are you asking if the phone logs when someone mutes it? No, I don't believe so. Or, are you asking if audio recording apps still record when the phone is muted? Why don't you use the included VoiceMemo app and test it?
Best of luck. -
I have a new iphone 5c. How can I turn off the passcode. Unlike previous models it does not show Passcode under settings - general !! Can anyone help? Susie
Thank you Chris. Yes I did know that but it was not clear how to turn it off. All the forums visited said it was under general. I have since found a site called iAnswerGuy which describes how to turn it off step by step. Thank you very much for coming back to me so quickly. Susie

Iphone 4 music shuffle cannot be turned off. The shuffle is turned off on top of the page, shuffle on individual songs is turned off and the settings "shake to shuffle" is turned off also, but the songs keep shuffling in my album. Please Help.
The weird thing is that after I click shuffle when the random number appears, I click it to turn it off and then I click it on again and it works fine. Is this a glitch or a bug or am I doing something wrong? How do I fix this?

Hi Jennifer,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.

My iPhone 5c is frozen on the lock screen with a text message on it. When I try and swipe the screen it sticks about halfway through the swipe. What do I do?
A reset may help. Tap and hold the Home button and the On/Off buttons for approximately 15-20 seconds, until the Apple logo reappears. When the logo appears, release both buttons.
No content is affected by this procedure. -
Hi, I have installed VMware Fusion to switch between Mac and Windows. It worked fine until I installed and played a game (Atlantis). Now the screen in frozen and even turning off the computer does not help. Does anybody have an idea what to do?
Try the remaining items of:

If not successful, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.
