My iPhone 4S won't let me send any text messages, I can see the recent ones but when I go to type back the screen goes off and it goes back to the home screen?

I have had my iPhone 4S for a while and it's worked perfectly. Messages were going through fine and everything. I went on this morning as I had a text from someone. I opened the text and the screen just went back to the homepage. It has never done this before so I tried opening it again. The same happened again. I opened a recent text and I can read the old messages fine, it's just as soon as I click to message/text them back it just goes off.
I tried with Facebook mailing and the same happens, it just goes off. And when I go on safari and try and type something in it goes off.
I don't know what to do. I have tried turning it off and on and that didn't work. I have tried resetting network connections and I just don't know what to do. I am currently trying to software update to the iOS 7.0.4 to see if that has anything do with it. As before I clicked to text the person back a carrier question came up and it has come up before, could that have something to do with it?
Please can you help me?

Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore. Try each of these in order until the issue goes away.

It won't let me send any texts or calls

I was on the phone and everything was fine, then the call just dropped. I tried calling back and it wouldn't connect. I shut my phone off, and tried again but nothing happened. It won't let me send texts, and when people try to call me it rings once and then goes straight to voicemail?

Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Connections
If that does not work, contact the carrier.

When I go to gmail, it comes up but it won't let me send any mail - seems to be stuck on "loading" - no problems when I use IE8 or chrome?

since I updated, I am unable to send mail out of gmail, I can get into gmail and read my emails, but when I try to send mail it sticks on "loading", IE8 and chrome work fine

Hi mikhemil,
We rely so much on email, it can be frustrating when it is not working.
Hopefully these troubleshooting steps will get you back on track ...

New iphone 4S doesn't let me send/receive text messages to non-iPhone users...how can I change this?

wondering if it is due to a brief stop in service but I am not receiving messages from non-iPhone contacts and not allowing me to send--even though it appears as I sent a text--recipients are not getting the texts I send IF they do not have an iPhone...what to do to change this?

Contact your carrier and make sure that your account is properly set up for texting.

I used to share one apple ID/account with my ex but made a new one for myself recently and logged out of the old one but when I try to update my iBooks it asks for the old account's password(which my ex changed by now)

I used to share one apple ID/account with my ex but made a new one for myself recently and logged out of the old one but when I try to update my iBooks (only happens with this app)it asks for the other account's password(which my ex changed by now). I don't understand why this happens when I'm logged into my account and it only happens with that app. Please help, I need to update. :/

Content (apps, music, ibooks, films etc) is tied to the account that originally downloaded it, so if the iBooks app was downloaded using the account that you used to share with your ex then only that account can download updates to it. As it's a free app you could delete it and re-download it under your own account - and then re-download your ibooks into it (or copy the books to your computer's iTunes first via File > Transfer Purchases and then sync them back to the app).

Why can't I create a document in my Facebook group on my iPad? It won't let me input any text into the text box field after I create a new document. Thanks.

Just thought I'd add my solution, I decided to go with WebDAV and I think it actually works better than the iTunes way, the steps are pretty much the same but avoiding the iTunes interface just makes things easier and faster.
I followed this guide but it does have a small mistake in the httpd-dav.conf file, on line 2, where it's WebServer/WebDAV">, it should be <Directory "/Library/WebServer/WebDAV">.
The tricky part is setting permissions which if wrong will give you errors when connecting with the iPad, I opted to set all to Read&Write since my home network has a hardware firewall. Another convenience was to add an alias to the webdav share on the Desktop.
I'm still expecting the call from Apple but even if they fix the iTunes I'm sticking with WebDAV, atleast until I see what's new with iOS5 and iCloud this fall which should bring true sync for documents (I'm hoping that they will offer encryption with my own keys, if not, then I'll probably keep using WebDAV).

>I am trying to load my new programs onto this laptop
Actually, no you're not. You're trying to load old programs on this computer - programs that are based around the old (dead?) Mac OS 9, not Mac OS X.
The main problem is that Mac OS X no longer comes with Mac OS 9. If you want to run Mac OS 9 applications you can, but you'll need to source a copy of Mac OS 9 and install that before you can. Off hand I don't know of any sources for Mac OS 9.x. Apple no longer sell it. eBay might be an option.
Either that, or just use Mac OS X applications. You'd probably prefer that anyway.
Finally, as an aside, this doesn't really have anything to do with AppleScript, so posting in the appropriate forum might get you better luck.

Version 5.0 on a MAC will not let me switch between tabs. I can open a new tab, but when I try to go to a different tab, it just shows me the contents of the tab most recently opened. Help!

Also, pop up blocker works for some time and then just stops working. I have to close and restart Firefox to get it to work again. Help!

I had the same problem, but with Firefox 4.0. My first thought was to update Firefox (after of course restarting FF), but that didn't help it and I had the same problem.
Among others, I had an extension installed and enabled called Tile Tabs 4.10 that I thought could feasibly creating this problem. So I went into my add-ons manager and disabled it, restarted Firefox and the tabs worked properly again. Unfortunately, the Tile Tabs extension is my favorite Firefox add-on and I use it almost every day for managing my web work tasks. I went to the add-on page for Tile Tabs and saw that there was a notice that version 4.10 didn't work properly on Mac OS, and to install version 4.9 of the extension. I saw they had a new, not-yet-reviewed version 4.11 that addressed the Mac OS problem, installed it, and everything seems to be working properly.
I have no idea why all of a sudden I had this problem, as I hadn't updated Firefox or the Tile Tabs extension recently. Also, obviously this might not address your problem, especially if you don't have that add-on installed and enabled. But our problem started at the same time for both of us it appears based on your post time, so its probably not coincidence.
But its worth a look, and you might want to check out other extensions if you don't have Tile Tabs that could be causing the problem.

My iPhone 5 doesn't send any text messages or i messages and the problem isn't with the sim card as i tried it with another iPhone 5 and it worked fine.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Try deleting the problematic file (electing to remove original file if/when prompted) and then re-downloading the file from the iTunes store.
You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option from the Quick Links section in the top right corner of the iTunes homepage in your iTunes application on your computer.
You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option at the bottom of the screen of the iTunes app (or video app) on your iOS device.

Contact your carrier. You probably do not have MMS provisioned on your account.
