My iphone 4s decided to freeze the lock screen and wont allow me to unlock it

My iphone 4s suddenly decided to freeze on lock screen. It won't allow me to slide to unlock but allow me to use siri. Can anyone help me fix this before noon today?

Do a reset by holding the power and home button until the apple logo appears ignoring the slide to power off (no data loss).

  • I took pictures on my iphone when it was on the lock screen and now I can't view the pictures in all of my photos. How do I view them?

    I took pictures on my iphone when it was on the lock screen and now I can't view the pictures in all of my photos. How do I view them?

    If you go to the Photos app, is there content in the Photo Library? These would be pictures that are synced to the phone from the computer. Photos in the camera roll are those that you take with the phone, or save from email, MMS on the phone. What type of pictures are you trying to get rid of? If you are trying to get rid of the synced photos, you need to connect to iTunes, select the iPhone in the device pane, then go to the Photo tab in iTunes and remove the check mark by sync.

  • My iphone 5c is frozen on the lock screen with a text message, I can't swipe it to unlock it. What do I do?

    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.

  • HT201210 After updating iPhone 4S to iOS 7, the lock screen will not accept my password.

    After updating my iPhone 4S to iOS 7, the lock screen will not accept my password and I am locked out of my phone. Anyone else seeing this? What can I do to fix this?

    Hello kennyred,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    For more information on this, take a look at:
    iOS: Forgotten passcode or device disabled after entering wrong passcode
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1212
    Connect the device to the computer with which you normally sync and open iTunes.
    Note: If iTunes asks you to enter the passcode, try another computer that you have synced with. Otherwise, go to "If you have never synced your device with iTunes, or you do not have access to a computer" section below.
    If the device is still disabled, or if iTunes does not automatically sync your device, sync the device with iTunes.
    If you have chosen to encrypt your backup, it will contain the passcode. Disable backup encryption before restoring from backup. Learn more about iOS backups in iTunes.
    When the backup and sync is complete, select Restore from Backup and choose the most recent backup of your device.
    Best of luck,
    Mario

  • My iphone 5 getting hang in the lock screen.

    My iphone 5 getting hang in the lock screen.. needs to reboot hard, no use of 7.2 update patch, i have updated the same but still its getting hang in the lock screen ...please suggest what to do ?

    Hi Apple Engineers,
    Problem:
    I am facing this same freez problem on my Iphone 5 (with iOS 7.0.4) in India, Chennai.
    I am using Airtel provider.
    1. I can see the missed call list(s) on the first locked screen
    2. To unlock the screen i tried to Swap "slide to unlock" screen, But it hangs (freez). But swap Bottom to Top to see the short cut app modes (wifi, airoplane mode,bluetooth...etc) it is working fine.
    3. I cant get in to passcode input screen.
    Workaround for this issue: (for iphone users)
    1. "Reset iPhone" OR
    2. "Make a call from your firend mobile to your hanged Iphone and pick the call. Now you wouldn't see the hanging problem"
    Suggessions: (for iphone engineers)
    Might be problem in locking mechanishm in the IOS. Missed call would be not properly handled by the locking mechanisim, Since, while freez, next attend call will resolvd this issue. So locking mechanishm is the problem. Please concentrate these part and put your hard work on this. Don't give workaround to iphone users all the time. workaround is only temp until fix the bug. So work hard and give us the flawless upgrade.

  • HT1212 my iphone is frozen on the lock screen and will not let me enter my passcode, I have held the home button and power button for up to 1 minute and plugged it up to itunes because its locked it wont work? i need help

    i have connected it to itunes like i was told to do and it wont do anything because its locked with a passcode and its frozen on the lock screen and will not let me enter myt passcode and after a while it just shuts off, it has been doing this for almost 48 hours. I was told to hold the home button and power button to shut it down and that I could then restart it and it would work... Nothing has helped, What can I try???

    Reset the device by pressing and holding the home and power buttons for 15-20 seconds until the white Apple logo appears.
    If that does not resolve, restore the device via iTunes on the computer.
    If all else fails, take the device to Apple (or whomever provides support in your country) for evaluation and possible replacement.

  • My ipod 5th generation is frozen on the lock screen and i tried restarting it 4 times and it continued to get stuck what do i do

    My iPod 5th generation is stuck on the lock screen and I tried restarting it 4 times and it continues to get stuck on the lock screen. What do I do.

    Try:                                               
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on           
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try another cable                                                       
    - Try on another computer                                                       
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

    I got to that page but clicking on the Subscribe Free had no effect.
    Nothing showed in the Podcasts nor the iTunes U.
    In fact I also subscribed to Stanford's lectures and despite actually managing to DL them there is still no subscription in iTunes U, just the Intro to Computer Science belatedly.

    My iphone 3g is stuck on the apple logo and wont even turn off, or connect to itunes. what do i do?

    I've got the same problem.
    I wanted to download the new itunes version for iphone but it got stuck. I had no choice but disconnecting my iphone. Then I couldn't sync it anymore.
    I switched off my phone by holding down the sleep button but it has never successfully switched off. The round thing still turns.
    I've tried to connect it back to the itunes. This is the error message I get: itunes can't connect to the iphone. Code 0xE8000065. I tried to find out what error message this is but the apple support site I saw didn't mention this error code.
    Can anyone help? Thaaanks!
