My iPhone 4s keeps failing?

Hi, My iPhone 4s keeps not sending messages and I can't call anyone. I have all the connection bars, and it will only work if I turn off my phone and then turn it back on.
It's really annoying, and I was wondering if there was a way to make it stop?

Have you tried a reset by pressing and holding the sleep/wake button and the home button for 20 seconds (maybe longer) until the Apple logo appears, ignore the red slider.  Then turn back on. You won't lose any data doing the reset.

    Error -1 could indicate a hardware issue. You may need to take the device to an Apple Store and have it looked at

  • My iphone contacts keep failing to sync onto my Mac?

    I can't get my new contacts i enter onto my iphone to sync onto my Mac? Heeelp... very annoying...

    On your Mac open System Preferences > iCloud. Deselect the box next to Contacts then reselect it.
    On your iPhone, tap Settings > iCloud. Switch Contacts off then back on.
    Give iCloud a few minutes to re synce the data.

  • Iphone 5s keeps failing to open videos or photos on pc

    I am using my work PC, and do not have ITUNES installed. Yesterday afternoon I was able to attach my phone via the Apple USB cord to the PC, hit "Trust" this computer, and was able to download photos manually, or open the Iphone as a driver (I think that's what it's called) in order to open and save videos taken on my iphone. This morning, I am no longer able to do that.
    I plug the phone in, hit trust and just as the pc starts to recognize the phone, it disconnects and asks if I'd like to trust this pc again. I've been trying for 2 hours (different pc's) and I just can't get it to work!
    HELP!

    Hello olivia2011
    There are a few things to try out in the article below to get your iPhone to show back up as a camera on your computer at work. It will go over checking the drives to ensure a proper connection as well as just simply check for software updates on your computer.

    I have set up iTunes Match on only 3 devices (my Windows 7 desktop and 2 iPhones) and am now trying to authorise my new Windows 8 (Toshiba) laptop but I keep failing to authorise the laptop using my one-and-only Apple ID. Does anyone have advice to solve this problem?!

    Hi all.  I can’t tell you how to solve your iCloud 3.x issues.  Heck, I don’t think they’re even solvable.
    But if you had a previous version of iCloud that was working correctly then I can definitely tell you how to solve the “iCloud Photo Stream is not syncing correctly to my Windows 7 PC” problem.  …without even a re-boot.
    Log out of iCloud 3.0 and uninstall it.
    Open My Computer and then open your C:\ drive.  Go to Tools/Folder Options and click on the View tab.  Select the “Show hidden…” radio button and click on OK.
    Open the Users folder.
    Open your user folder
    Open ProgramData (previously hidden folder)
    Open the Apple folder – not the Apple Computer folder.
    Open the Installer Cache folder
    In Details view sort on Name
    Open the folder for the newest entry for iCloud Control Panel 2.x – probably 2.1.2.8 dated 4/25/2013
    Right click on iCloud64.msi and select Install.
    When finished, the synching between iCloud and your PC will be back to working perfectly as before the 3.0 fiasco.  The pictures will be synched to the same Photostream folder as before the “upgrade”.  Now all you need to do is wait until Apple/Microsoft get this thing fixed and working before you try the 3.x upgrade again.
    I think the iCloud 3.0 software was written by the same folks who wrote healthcare.gov with the main difference being that healthcare.gov might eventually be made to work.
    For those of you who hate to go backwards, think of it as attacking to the rear.  Which would you rather have, the frustration of no synching or everything working on an older version?
    Good luck…

    Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but the iPhone 3GS can only be updated as far as 4.2.1
    Requirements for WhatsApp are iOS 4.3 or later. This app is optimized for iPhone 5.
    As noted here >  WhatsApp Messenger for iPhone on the iTunes App Store
    So that app cannot run on the iPhone 3GS.
    I stand corrected but apparently you may not be able to update the device regardless.

  • Can't get iCloud to back up on IPhone 5. Have 7.1 GB available. Backup keeps failing while I am plugged in and connected to wifi

    Can't get iCloud to back up on IPhone 5. Have 7.1 GB available. Backup keeps failing while I am plugged in and connected to wifi. It will show backing up now and estimated time 20 plus hours and always ends up failing after a couple hours

    You need at least 50 MB of free space in order to back up to iCloud.  Rather than backing up, have you tried importing the photos to your computer and deleting them from the camera roll as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083?

  • For the past few hours I have been trying to download ios 7.0.4 from itunes onto my iPhone after trying many times it would give me a error saying network failed! then i tried to download Ios 7.0.4 manually and then put it on but it keeps failing?

    I venture to say you have a Windows PC.
    If so, before beginning the download try temporarily disabling your antivirus, anti-adware, anti-spyware, and any other anti-whatever that is required with the insecure OS your computer is running.

  • I have an iPhone 4 and the iOS 4.3.5 download keeps failing - error states its corrupted.

    I have an iPhone 4 and the iOS 4.3.5 download keeps failing.  It downloads then I get a message stating that the download was corrupted and couldn't be installed.  I've tried it with bitdefender switched off.  I've tried it with it in airplane mode.  My partner has tried to update their iPhone on a different computer to mine and is also getting the same problem and error message.  Help!

    That's exactly right.  And since you have a MacBook Air (as I do), that means the synching should occur just fine (if you've set it up right in iTunes).  In other words, once you actually do the update, the iTunes on your MacBook Air will re-sync your photos back to your iPhone.
    Basically, the process is that your iPhone gets backed up, wiped clean, then the new iOS version gets installed, then the backup gets restored.  That will restore everything in the article above, which does not include your photos.  But the sync process that happens after the iOS installation would restore your photos from iPhoto given you've set it up that way in iTunes.
    When you have your iPhone plugged into iTunes, while looking at the iPhone's summary page, click "Photos" on the right side of iTunes to see how you have your sync set up.
    Regardless, it sounds like you'll be fine!  Your photos will wind up in iPhoto once you place them there.  They will be safe there.

  • Can't download ios 8 in my iphone or iTunes? it keeps failing

    hi,
    I have been trying to update my IPhone 5s from the release day itself. But it keeps failing on halfway, i have tried to update through iTUNES and IPHONE. I rebooted my phone , reset the network settings and still its failing. It's just that it restarts the download in mid way . I have 6 gb left in m phone too. I really wanna update my phone and get my hands on ios8.

    Hey Rahul,
    The iTunes app is asking / telling something before the download hangs?
    What you can do to check if it's a server, ISP or iTunes problem, is to make a direct download from Redmond Pie or OSXDaily just iOS not the firmware (unless you don't want to go back to a previous iOS version). Then do a manual update through iTunes, option + click Restore, choose the IPSW file and done.
    Hope this helps.
