My iPhone 4s 5.01 loses wifi and won't shut down and can't open settings.
This is crazy. iPhone 4S running 5.01.
Twice now I've lost Wifi and cold not connect. When going to open settings to check status it won't open. The screen just crashes back to the springboard.
Then trying to force a shutdown I can't. The sleep button you usually hold for 4 seconds does not do anything so I have to hold sleep and home down to force a hard reset.
Has anyone else had this happen?
I've not performed a hard reset this time but I can't leave it like this for long. Does anyone need me to do anything before I do hard reset it?
Fred
I'm having this problem too. Exactly the same problem.
Mine is a new phone which I restored some settings to from my old 3g.
The problem has happened a dozen times and is getting more and more frequent.
What is really weird is that if you call the phone you can hear it rining on the call but NOTHING on the phone.
Getting completely hacked off with this.

My iPad Air always freezes during FaceTime calls using wifi. I switch to my iPhone 5c on the same wifi, and it never freezes while I'm sitting in the same location. Is there maybe a setting I have that is causes this? I am up to date on the OS 7.1.1. Video and audio is froze on my end, only video freezes on the other end. It doesn't make a difference who makes the call either.
No, there isn't any setting that you are missing. Have you tried force closing FaceTime, and resetting your iPad?
In order to close FaceTime, you have to drag the app up from the multitasking display. Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the app that you want to close and then swipe "up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
If that does not make a difference, you could try resetting all settings, if you reset all settings you will have to enter all of the device preferences again in the settings app. That takes some time to accomplish, but you will not lose my data, media, apps or anything like that. Settings>General>Reset>Reset all settings.
If that doesn't help, the next step would be to restore the iOS software. Backup your iPad first, restore the iOS, then restore the backup.

I have 2 iphones 4s's, ones my wife and one is mine. we have different apple IDs, can we share one itunes account?? if so, how??
If you haven't set up your own Apple ID already don't. I suggest you use the same apple ID as your wife's. The alternative is to do this http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1848. It's not efficient as you have to swap apple id's to update apps under both IDs. 20/20 being hindsight, I would have never created a 2nd apple ID for my wife.
Hope this helps. -
Hello, we have a Mac and an ipad, the Mac is working and wifi is on and the ipad's wifi is on too, but Ipad Safari can not open the page because it could not connect to the server, does any one know that?
Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are drooping internet connection)
• Launch Settings app
• Tap on Wi-Fi
• Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
• In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

Note - When troubleshooting wifi connection problems, don't hold your iPad by hand. There have been a few reports that holding the iPad by hand, seems to attenuate the wifi signal.
Some Wi-Fi losses may stem from a problematic interaction between Wi-Fi and cellular data connections. Numerous users have found that turning off Cellular Data in Settings gets their Wi-Fi working again.
You may have many apps open which can possibly cause the slowdown and possibly the loss of wifi. In iOS 4-6 double tap your Home button & at the bottom of the screen you will see the icons of all open apps. Close those you are not using by pressing on an icon until all icons wiggle - then tap the minus sign. For iOS 7 users, there’s an easy way to see which apps are open in order to close them. By double-tapping the home button on your iPhone or iPad, the new multitasking feature in iOS 7 shows full page previews of all your open apps. Simply scroll horizontally to see all your apps, and close the apps with a simple flick towards the top of the screen.
Wi-Fi or Bluetooth settings grayed out or dim

I bought a book on itunes, and can't open it. tried to send it to my iphone so i could read it there and it won't let me carry it over. I have updated Ibook on my iphone. What do I do? I do not want to buy the book again.
You won't be able to open it on your computer, ibooks can currently only be read in the iBooks app on an iPad, iPhone and iPod Touch. How were you trying to get it to your phone, syncing it by selecting it on the iPhone's Books tab when connected to your computer's iTunes, or by dragging-and-dropping it from the Books part of your iTunes library over and onto the iPhone 'device' ? Another option is to try re-downloading it directly in the iBooks app on your iPhone via the Purchased tab in the ibookstore in it (re-downloading).

how can i get acsess to my data if my iphone is shut and can´t open any more??how can i get acsess to the memory card????please help
You can't. There is no memory card. It uses flash memory that's soldered to the logic board. If you didn't back it up, your data is gone.

My mini Ipad says: I haven't backed it up to iCloud for 2 weeks. Back ups happen when this ipad is plugged in, locks, and connected to wifi.
The ok button doesn't work, I can't open settings to make sure wifi is connected. Nothing works!!! I have it pluggled into my computer but apparently it isn't backing up since nothing has changed. it is unuseable!Reset iPad
Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears
Note: Data will not be affected. -
is the iPhone trade in promotion over? and can I trade in my phone in the store instead of sending it in?
The trade in and getting new phone are 2 separate events.
You could trade in your iPhone for $200, but then you need a new phone. Since you are still under contract, even though you just sent in your IP4, you cannot get a reduced price iPhone 6. You would have to pay full price, minus the $200 from your trade in.
Bottom line, to do what your thinking, you need to have an upgrade available. -
After updating my iPhone 5s to iOS 7.0.5., it has shut down and i still can't turn it back on!
After updating my iPhone 5s to iOS 7.0.5., it has shut down and i still can't turn it back on! I can't even install iTunes on my computers! Yesterday evening I updated it but it didn't work, so i tried to reinstall it and there was written that that i couldn't install iTunes on that computer. So this morning I've tried to install it to another computer but it says the same.. Can someone help me, please?
Are you uninstalling just iTunes? Because if so, you actually have to uninstall five separate programs, and THEN reinstall.

Hi,
As stated, I updated my iPhone 4s to version 6.1 and can't make any calls now.
Restoring it to a prior state doesn't rollback the iOS version, so I'm stuck with a brick now.
Does anyone have a solution to this?
Thank you.Well, frankly you've provided no useful details.
If you want help, we need details.
Any errors on the device?
Is it activated?
Is it saying "No Service"?
Unsupported SIM?
Have you tried removing and reinstalling the SIM?
