My iPhone 5 crashed daily with Hotspot on

I use Hotspot daily to stream music. Every day it crashes and I have to do the reboot to get it back to life - works fine without hotspot

What version of computer OS are you using, Windows? When you uninstall iTunes, did you use the instructions in this support document http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923? See if this helps and you can connect after reinstalling.

IPhone 5 crashes repeatedly with iOS 7.1

Hi there,
I have an iPhone 5 (16GB) and it worked fine up till recently. About 10 days ago I updated the system to iOS 7.1. It went well for a few days, but some days ago the phone crashed and restarted when I was typing text in Facebook Messenger.
Since then the phone crashed multiple times (almost daily) and usually when using the built-in apps.
It crashed when I used:
- text messaging,
- the built-in camera app,
- the built-in weather app (multiple times).
It seems that this is OS related.
Does anyone experienced the same issue?
And do you have any solutions or suggestions?
Restore?
Thanks in advance...

I have an iPhone 5 on iOS 7.1 and have had none of those problems.
Something may have gone amiss in the upgrade to iOS 7.1 on your iPhone.
To correct this follow these steps:
1. Backup your iPhone using iTunes or iCloud.
2. Use iTunes to completely restore your iPhone as Factory new.
3. Monitor behavior to see if the iPhone is stable. If not, you may have a hardware problem - if so, contact Apple support.
4. Restore your iPhone from your backup above.
5. Check stability to confirm that it remains normal.

The equipment:
Iphone 4S 16gb VZW with personal hotspot
Ipad 3 32gb wi-fi only
The issue:
I turn on the personal hotspot on the phone, connect to the ipad over wi-fi or bluetooth and surf the web flawlessly. I turn on the VPN on the ipad and cannot access my work network. I check the IP address of the phone prior to the connection of the VPN and it registers a VZW IP that the phone is supposed to broadcast. I turn the VPN in and the ipad reflects the VPN IP address that I'm trying to connect to back to the phone and THAT is what the phone tries to project. My RMS vendor and our network provider have both been identified as not being the culprit. I've spent about 8 hours on the phone with an IOS Senior Advisor and we are both perplexed by this. He has been gracious enough to maintain daily contact with me and he's forwarded it up to those higher than him.
This worked back in April of this year and quit working in May or June. That means it worked on IOS5 and quit working IOS 5.
Anyone else having these issues?

My iPhone 4S, iPhone 5, and iPad 2 are running 6.1.3 with no such problem and the same with the overwhelming majority of iOS devices running 6.1.3.

Greetings strepac,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand that iTunes is becoming unresponsive when you connect your iPhone and try to sync it. In this situation, I would recommend reading over the attached article and working through the suggested troubleshooting steps within.

Multiple crashes daily of mozilla firefox with windows operating system. Crash reports sent but no change.

for the past 4 weeks, firefox crashes daily multiple times. I already have it set to send the crash report to mozilla but no change/help from firefox. why the constant crashing?

Hi bostongio9
Your crashes all have a different crash signature.
You can try a clean reinstall and delete the Firefox program folder before reinstalling a fresh copy of Firefox.
Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
*Firefox 18.0.x: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
Uninstall your current Firefox version, if possible, to cleanup the Windows registry and settings in security software.
*Do NOT remove personal data when you uninstall your current Firefox version, because all profile folders will be removed and you will also lose your personal data like bookmarks and passwords from profiles of other Firefox versions.
Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
*It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Uninstalling_Firefox
Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored in the Firefox Profile Folder and won't be affected by an uninstall and (re)install, but make sure that "remove personal data" is NOT selected when you uninstall Firefox.
Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
See "Creating a profile":
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/profile-manager-create-and-remove-firefox-profiles
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Standard_diagnostic_-_Firefox#Profile_issues
If the new profile works then you can transfer some files from an existing profile to the new profile, but be careful not to copy corrupted files.

*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_backup
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Standard_diagnostic_-_Firefox#Clean_reinstall
Maybe also do a malware check with some malware scanning programs on the Windows computer. 
You need to scan with all programs because each program detects different malware.
Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of their databases before doing a scan.

Hi there Dedi Darmawan Dimeng,
You may find the troubleshooting steps in the article below helpful.
iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2802
Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion. Learn about LCIs and corrosion.
Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
After at least 30 minutes, if:
The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen . Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.
If the display turns on, go to step 4.
If the display remains black, go to next step.
Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.
Issue not resolved
My issue is still not resolved. What do I do next?

Can I sync my iPhone 4S with hotspot

can I sync my iPhone 4S with hotspot?

Sorry it's hard to explain, I can't remember exactly what the message on my phone says, it's something like "your phone hasn't been backed up or sync in 4weeks" something like that, I think all my photos and documents aren't going to iCloud. And I don't have a data plan fir my computer cause I don't use it much, but I have a plan with a phone company that provides me with gigs and hotspot, so instead I'd having 2 accounts I just use hotspot to do everything else on my computer, but I think hotspot doesn't work as wi-fi does it? So in asking can I back up to iCloud using hotspot or would I have to pay for completely different wifi plan?
Sorry I hope this makes sense.

My iPhone 4 crashes very often (3-4 times per day) and sometimes (2-3 times per month) all my apps disappear and I have to restore them with iTunes. I downloaded all the system updatings and I also tried to restore my device, but I still have this issue

If you haven't already, try restoring your iPhone as a new device, not from a backup, and with only the apps Apple includes. Then see if the problems persist. It's possible that a corrupted file on the iPhone is causing the problems, and that could perhaps be coming back onto the iPhone if you're restoring using a backup. Problems with an app could also be causing problems. If the problems persist after restoring the iPhone as "new", then you almost certainly have a defective iPhone and will need to contact Apple for servicing.
If the problems go away after restoring the iPhone as "new", then you can start putting your other apps back on and see if the problems reappear; if they do, you probably have a badly-coded app.
Regards.

MDCrashReportTool crashes every time iPhone 3G is synced with iTunes

Every time I plug in my iPhone 3G to sync with iTunes, MDCrashReportTool unexpectedly quits.
I've reported it a bunch of times, but I think things run a bit smoother if I just relaunch it. Is anyone else getting this? Has anyone gotten rid of this problem?

Restoring the iPhone seems to have fixed the problem. In response to SMRS: I think that we should all qualify for the title of "newly restored" since the new OS/firmware has only been out for a week. Installing the new system was effectively a "restore" because it wiped the phone and re-wrote it from backup to begin with. I agree, though, that we shouldn't have to be restoring our phones a week after we upgrade the system. That's just nonsense.
In any case, give the restore a try and let it load the backups; I'm curious to see if it solves the problem for you like it did for the rest of us.

Why does my iPhone 5 crash when purchasing a game in the app store?

Hi everyone,
I have an iPhone 5 model A1429 with 16GB with iOS version 7.1.2 (11D257).
I am trying to install the game Lies of Astaroth (https://itunes.apple.com/app/id586902335)
But after pressing Install and entering my iTunes password, my iPhone 'crashes' (the screen kinda goes green) and restarts.
I have tried 3 times and the same thing happens.
Did anyone else have this issue?
Best;
Leon

Does this happen with any other application you try to download from the App store? If you haven't tested that, pick another app to download and see what happens.
If the other app downloads fine, then it's not your device, it's the other app.
Alternate method of installing an app is to download it on your computer via iTunes Store, and then sync to over to your device.

My iPhone 5s crashes a lot!!!

Hello there,
Why is my iPhone 5s crashing a lot with almost every app I use even sometimes when I open Settings? I like the phone so far other than this very annoying issue. This is my 2nd device after returning the 1st one because of the same problem plus and issue with the microphone that seemed to be over heated after a long period of phone call, and maybe this device will end up to be returned too. I've done hard reset/soft reset many times and even tried to restore as new (from scratch) but nothing really has changed. I enabled the automatically send for diagnostics and usage so that Apple might notice the crazy reports I get from crashing. Please I need help as soon as possible.
Best,
Adel

I don't understand what you're asking.
"But what about settings? Is that also something I can even delete?" I don't follow.
You cannot delete the "Settings" category. You can delete some of the apps that have settings set from within settings. That would delete their settings.
Say you have a suspicious app called "Zzyzx". You could delete that app by holding its icon until it wiggles, then click the "X" in its upper left. If Zzyzx had some settings, deleting the app would delete its settings as well.
"Apps work fine sometimes, but sometimes they just crash." Regardless, find those suspicious ones and delete them. Of course, all Apple's apps cannot be deleted (they would not show the "X" when wiggling the icons). But that is fine - they are not suspicious.

during a update of apple my iphone 3GS crashed an now the operating system wont load up..ive tried to reset the phone to the factory settings using itunes it took 4 hours and completed but my phone still wont come on..what can i do to fix the problem? please help #

In trying to include what information all that I could I should have specified I DON'T KNOW THAT IT WAS DEFINATELY JAILBROKEN when I took it to the apple store they told me there's no way for them to tell if it was jail broken or not. I'm only going by what ppl have told me COULD HAVE BEEN DONE TO THE PHONE. With that said the only thing I know for sure is that the apple tech at the Genius Bar told me that someone took control of my root menu in February & I've had no control of my phone since. I asked him how to regain control & how he knew his exact words were "oh that is out of our scope of capabilities here at this level & you would need an apple engineer to fix it". I said ok then how do I get an apple eng then? He laughed & said you can't!!!! To which I was furious I came home & called apple requesting to speak w/the fraud dept to file a report they said we don't have a fraud dept!! So after a 45 mn phone call again I left w/no answers.
@TJBUSMC1973-
I DON'T HAVE THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS TO SPEND HIRING AN ATTORNEY & Although I appreciate your suggestion I fail to how an attorney would be able to facilitate in any way since there's no suspect. I cannot prove that it's him doing it so I certainly can't pursue legal action w/no proof & no money. :'((
Again I thank you for your advice but I don't think that will help.
I was looking more for a TECHNICAL way to avoid this happening w/a new phone should I buy one or trying to get them out of my phone now! Such as installing some kind of software protection?? Someway to clear out the entire phone (other than factory reset which was done 10 x's w/no success, etc. if this person got in then there HAS TO BE A WAY OF GETTING HIM OUT, right????
