My iphone 4 wont let me open my text messages

MY iphone 4 just wont let me open my text messages, its just a blank screen whenever I open it and its driving me crazy. I've already turned it off, then on again and have already done a hard reset and both failed to fix the problem. Help!

Close out of the message app, then double tap the home button and completely close out of it.
Then do a rest, hold down the home/sleep button together until you see the apple logo and then release, then wait for the phone to boot back up.  Then check message app again.

  • It wont let me open a text message.

    Heya all,
    Something that's been bugging me for a few weeks now. Sometimes when I recieve a text message on my Curve, When i want to open it, it just doesnt open... XD It doesnt do it all the time but randomly it will and it's very annoying.
    Anyone can help with some suggestions?
    Thanks

    this literally just happened to me,
    i took the battery out for 30 secs replaced and tried opening it again and it worked.
    if it doesn't, go to sms menu and choose contacts name you got the message from as if you were typing them a new message. it'll open up the conversation screen and you can see it. not exactly a problem solver, but a way around it

  • My iPhone wont let me look at my messages everytime I click on the icon it just freezes there,and then aborts its self out. My friend sent me all these pictures and I think that's why? How do I fix it? HELP!

    My iPhone wont let me open my text messages.  Everytime I click on the icon it freezes there for a minute and then aborts itself. My friend sent me a whole bunch of pictures at once and I believe that's why. I need a solution! HELP! Please.

    First thing to try is to reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider should one appear until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.

    My iPhone wont let me send text messages to numbers with a different area code. How do I fix this so I can send texts to these numbers?

    If it shows up in iTunes and you can sync the phone, could be that the docking port is damaged.
    You should get it serviced or looked at by visiting an Apple Store or contacting Apple:

  • My itune wont let me open my account..

    My itune wont let me open my account...
    my itouch say "cannot connect ot itunes store"
    so i tried my pc and it says "We're sorry. We cannot complete your request on the itunes store at this time"
    Can someone please help?
    I also Run Diagnostics and its says there's nothing wrong....
    it there something wrong on my itune?

    I'm having the same problem on my iPhone 4 and on iTunes 10.3 for Windows. It just began today; I've been purchasing content (music and apps) on the store via my phone and PC for months without problems. I can view products on the Store, but when I try to purchase something or view my account details and subsequently enter my password, I'm told either 'Cannot connect to the iTunes Store' (on my iPhone) or 'We're sorry, we cannot complete your request on the iTunes Store at this time. Please try again later.' (on iTunes for Windows).
    After speaking to someone on 133 MAC, I've ruled out my internet connection - I have perfect connectivity to other services on my laptop and phones using Wifi and on my phone using 3G, but the problem remains - and my password: I've reset it to something else, but now I can't sign into my account on my phone at all. I can, however, sign into it on the web at My Apple ID.

    My iPhone wont let me download some apps that i have payed for on on my account; it says my iPhone is not authorized for this computer, but it is.

  • I have an important pages document on my macbook but pages wont let me open it because it says its blank?

    i was just working on it-and my hard drive was pretty much full so i was about to delete some files to make room so i can save the document-but before i could do that, pages decided to auto save it for me but there was no room to save it, so it said could not save: revert changes. so i clicked revert changes and it said unable to revert, document must close or something like that and it closed the document for me. but i opened it again as normal and it opened again as normal.
    so then i took a lot of my files off my laptop to make room to save it, but when i tried to save it, the same thing happened, but this time when i tried to open it as normal, it said it cant be open because it is a blank file when it so clearly isnt? is there anyway i can restore this because i dont see why my macbook is doing this to the file when i made room for it to be saved, and even when there wasnt room-my macbook saved it anyway. no thats theres room it says its blank and cant open- when i right click on it and click show package contents, it comes up with 3 items: data folder which is blank, index.zip file which it wont let me open to unzip, and a metadata folder which is also empty. please help, thank you.

    For a standard iTunes account you need a valid payment method even for free apps and app updates.

  • I just recently purchased 3 songs from itunes not knowing that I had no money on my debit card (visa) left. My iphone wont let me update my apps and says that there was a billing problem with my last purchase. I dont know what I am supposed to do!

    I just recently purchased 3 songs from itunes not knowing that I had no money on my debit card (visa) left. My iphone wont let me update my apps and says that there was a billing problem with my last purchase. I dont know what I am supposed to do! I dont understand why it worked in the first place when it wasn't supposed to!

    There seems to be a billing problem with the iTS.  I've been trying to make purchases today (Dec 9th) too and it reports either the iTS can not process payments or it says my card was declined. I even changed the payment method to Paypal (which is never declined) and still no go.
    I don't think it is "you" but a problem at Apple.  Some popular new apps were released recently like Logic Pro and perhaps they're getting bombarded as they did when Lion was released.
    Wait a few hours and then try again.

  • My iphone wont let me scroll down on facbook walls since  the update this morning?

    my iphone wont let me scroll down on facbook walls since  the update this morning? does anyone know how to fix this ive foiund a few people on google today its happened to?

    I suspect the error message you saw earlier said something like "the maximum number of free iCloud accounts have already been created" or something similar, which is often associated with a 403 error.
    When you get that message it means that three iCloud accounts have already been created on your device and you cannot create another one.  This often happens when you purchase a used device and the previous owner already used up all of the alloted iCloud accounts on it.  When this happens, all you can do is either re-use one of the accounts previously created or create a new account on another iOS device or Mac when you have one.
