My iPhone 5 has not been working properly please help!!

I have a 16GB iPhone 5 with the latest update (iOS 7.1.2) and lately (about a week or so) it's not been working right. It first started where the screen would freeze and then I'd have to click the power button and return to lock screen I get it to work again, or sometimes even turn off my phone. Then one day I tried to take a picture and it wouldn't let me?? So I turned off my phone and when I turned it back on it worked again. Then the other day I went to play music and it wouldn't let me. First I tried from the itube app then thought maybe the app wasnt working, so I went to my iTunes music on my phone and that wasn't working. It wouldn't let me press play/pause/next. basically it wouldn't let me do anything and then it just froze. I put it to sleep and went back to my music about 30min later and it was fine. Then today my screen froze so I held down the power button to turn it off. Nothing happened for 10 seconds then the screen just went black, no little spinny thing like what normally comes up when it powers off. Then no matter what I did it wouldn't turn on. I looked up on here how to fix this and found a solution (plugging it into my computer and holding the power and home button for 20 seconds). Anyway, basically what my problem is is that I dont want my phone to be like this? Should I take it in to be looked at or is there maybe an app causing this ?? I honestly have no idea and it just recently started being like this (I've had this phone for 3 months and it's new. It still has about 5GB of space left). Please let me know if you have a solution or if this phone just is like this. Sorry if this isn't very descriptive :/ Ive been able to get my phone working again every time so far, but next time I might not and I really want to fix it. Thank you!!

Apple is aware of the issue and is workingon an update to address iMessage issues.
In the meantime I have found that a good old fashion reset cures it for a while.
Reset: Hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons and don’t let go until the screen goes dark and the Apple logo appears (no data will be lost)
Others have had success with this:
1. Turn off iMessage in Settings > Messages
2. Reset networking settings in Settings > General > Reset
3. Reenable iMessage in Settings > Messages
Note: This will clear all wifi passwords.

Additional things to try.
Try this first. 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.
Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
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
Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
Try This - Renew IP Address:
    •    Launch Settings app
    •    Tap on Wi-Fi
    •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list

Hello Jm23ur,
After reading your post, it sounds like you are experiencing performance issues with your device. You may want to consider restarting the device first, and then resetting if that does not work. This article provides detailed instructions for Restarting, and Reseting:
Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset
How to restart
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button on the top of your device until the red slider appears. Then drag the slider to turn your device completely off.
After the device turns off, press and hold the Sleep/Wake button again until you see the Apple logo.
How to reset
You should reset your device as a last resort and only if you can't restart it.
To reset, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons for at least 10 seconds, until you see the Apple logo.
Thank you for contributing to Apple Support Communities,
BobbyD

I type in the code on the iTunes gift card but it says it has not been activated? Please help me.

I type in the code on the iTunes gift card but it says it has not been activate? Please help.

If the store that you bought it from is nearby then you could try going back to it and ask them to activate it properly. If it isn't, or if they can't/won't help, then try contacting iTunes Support (you will probably need to give them images of the front and back of the card, and possibly its receipt) : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then iTunes Cards And Codes

I am really dissatisfied about the Mavs, how can i put it back to my Mountain Lion? since I've downloaded the Mavs, my iMovie, photo, contacts, notes has not been working properly at all. Please help! thanks

i downloaded the Mavs about 2 days ago. it restarted automatically as it stated... i have not really used it again until tonight. and boy was i so ******!
after downloading the new OS update, the list below stopped and wont work properly:
Contacts
iPhoto
iMovie
Notes
if theres anyone who can help me downgrade it back to Mountain Lion, id GREATLYYY appreciate it a lot.
Thanks!

You don't need to downgrade. If it worked in Mountain Lion it will work in Mavericks. Do this:
Reinstall Lion, Mountain Lion, or Mavericks without erasing drive
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Repair
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported then click on the Repair Permissions button. When the process is completed, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
Reinstall Mountain Lion or Mavericks
OS X Mavericks- Reinstall OS X
OS X Mountain Lion- Reinstall OS X
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is
three times faster than wireless.

Ever since the lastet update my calender has not been working properly?

Recenty after updating my Iphone with the new software, my calender has been losing information and not syncing properly. Any ideas?

I'm having the same identical problem, however my address book isn't updating neither. I also noticed that the Apple servers are not checking my email. I wonder if the iCLOUD is down again? Apple STATUS never tells us anything until the problem is resolved (: This has been going on for some time now. As a businessman I can't wait for emails to appears.

What I am saying is ..........
The iPhone HAS to be active making calls on the UK carrier network for the carrier to identify as "theirs" and therefore eligible for the Carrier to unlock
The way to achieve this is to use a PAYG sim making and receiving calls to establish a customer relationship with the Carrier and then follow the Carrier's process to unlock
With a PAYG it usually means adding a specified (by the carrier ) amount usually £15 /£20 depending on the carrier
This is how O2 function and according to Gemma this is how Vodafone work

My imessage has not been working. the internet and imessage only work on wifi. how do i fix this

MY IMESSAGE HAS NOT BEEN WORKING. IT ONLY WORKS WHEN I AM CONNECTED TO WIFI. THE INTERNET DOESNT WORK EITHER. I TRIED EVERYTHING AND NO ONE ON THE VERIZON PHONE NUMBER WILL ANSWER.

First make sure cellular data is toggled on.
Secondly make sure airplane mode is set to off.
Thirdly, make sure to toggle to "on" the send text/SMS/MMS if you cannot use imessage.
I don't know what model iPhone you have, if a 5,5c, or 5s make sure the Sim card is functioning properly. (Remove with device turned off, the carefully place back in device) then turn on the iPhone.
Hopefully problem solved.

May have other solutions.
Good Luck

Uninstall SIMBL as follows. Back up all data before making any changes.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it, then copy the text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
/Library
In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar, paste into the box that opens (command-V), and press return. A folder will open. From that folder, delete the items listed below (some may be absent.) You may be prompted for your administrator login password.
Application Support/SIMBL
InputManagers/SIMBL
LaunchAgents/net.culater.SIMBL.Agent.plist
ScriptingAdditions/SIMBL.osax
Log out and log back in.
Make sure you never reinstall SIMBL. It’s likely to come bundled with another third-party system modfication that depends on it. If you want trouble-free computing, avoid software that makes miraculous changes to other software, especially built-in applications. The only real exception to that rule is Safari extensions, which are mostly safe, and are easy to get rid of when they don’t work. SIMBL and its dependents are not Safari extensions.

I have a shuffle. When I plug it into Itunes, it tells me that it has not been ejected properly, and it will not recognize the Ipod. I have turned off the computer, and tried this with another shuffle with the exact same results. Any ideas?

Do you remeber the exact (or close to it) wording of the error message?
Try manually placing the iPod in Recovery mode and then try to restore
Next try DFU mode.

My phones imessege has not been working, it connects to my email but not my phone number it says its an option but its in grey and i am not able to click it as an option

i have a iphone 5 and my phones imessege has not been working, it connects to my email but not my phone number it says its an option but its in grey and i am not able to click it as an option

Depending on what iPhone you have when you get to the connect to wifi you should be able to activate your device over cellular data. Try doing a hard reset by holding the home circle button an power button until an apple pops up and the go through the setup again and when you get to the wifi part a option should be setup with cellular data iPhone 4 and above should give this option sometimes doesn't like showing up that's why u have to do a hard reset first

"An iPod has been detected, but it has not been identified properly."

Okay so at first my ipod wouldn't sync at all, so it would just freeze up. So i went onto one of the apple support pages and did all this confusing stuff. i have ONE more step until i fix the problem, but i can't find the page on apple.com anymore! Now, it says "an ipod has been detected, but it has not been identiefied properly. Please disconnect, then try again."
I know that the step has something to do with changing something in the "your home directory" or something like that. Anyone know what i'm talking about?

Maybe the article you are thinking about is one of these? ...
Start with these articles and see if that gets you anywhere...

iPod missing in "My Computer" or in iTunes for Windows

Also you might try forcing the iPod into disk mode first, then connecting it to your computer and see if that makes it show up in iTunes...

You can only get those pictures from the other PC. Pictures that have been synced from a computer via iTunes are not in the iPhone backup. You have to get them from the other PC, not other choice.
