My iphone4 keeps freezing, any suggestions/help?

I have had and enjoyed my iphone 4 for a few months and untill the last few weeks it has been working great. A couple weeks ago it started randomly freezing in my camera app. it wouldn't allow me to take a pic or acces my alblum. To make matters more fustrating as of this morning it is freezing completely. I went to my alblum and when it froze I went to return to my home screen and it wouldn't go, so I restarted my phone and it took almost a half hour of freezing before it restarted. and once it did I couldnt text, call or acces my app's. So I reset my phone to factory network settings (the option to reset without losing app's) and now it is kind of working, but i'm worried at any time its going to freeze again. This is my only source of contacting my kids school and daycare when i'm out working, so any help would be appreciated...thanks

Follow the article http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4137 to set up your phone "as new iphone". Make sure that you preserve your latest backup by copying the folder to a safe place.
The folder where your backup data is stored changes depending on the computer's operating system. Since iTunes only keeps one backup per device, you should ensure the backup folder is included in your periodic data backup routine.
iTunes places the backup files in the following places:
Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
Windows Vista and Windows 7: \Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
Note: If you do not see the AppData or Application Data folders, you may need to show hidden files (Windows XP,  Windows Vista and Windows 7).

    my screec keeps freezing , any suggestions .

    Have you tried the following:
    - Reset the iPod:
    Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
    button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Restore the iPod via iTunes on your computer.  First from backup and if the problem persists restore to factory defaults/new iPod.

  • My brand new iPad keeps freezing - any suggestions?

    Just bought a new iPad, and after setting it up it tarted to freeze. having to reset it to get it going again. Works perfectly for a while but then freezes again.this has happened 6 times in the last 2 hours.

    First, try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  It could take well over an hour!  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod.  As before, say "yes."  Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time.  If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device.  Corrective action is simple -  choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
    If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.

  • My photoshop elements 9 keeps freezing, can you help me?

    My photoshop elements 9 keeps freezing, can you help me?

    Hi,
    Please try couple of probable solutions as mentioned below:
    Solution 1:
    1. Close Elements.
    2. Launch the Photoshop Elements Welcome Screen and hold down ctrl + alt + shift as you click Editor.
    3. Continue to hold the keys until you see a message box asking if you want to delete Photoshop Elements settings file; click Yes. Elements will open with default preferences.
    Solution 2: In case any network printer is attached try to launch without network or printer uninstall or make different printer as default.
    Solution 3: Try launching with anti-virus off or removing PSE from conflicting list.
    Solution 4:
    On the drive on which you have installed PSE,on my machine it is on C:
    Go  to C:\Program Files\Adobe\Photoshop Elements  10\Locales\<locale>\Plug-Ins\Import-Exportand you will find twain  plug-in. Remove that plug-in from that location and copy it somewhere  else.
    Now launch PSE and check if it works.

    Hi Agan:
    Yes indeed ddanielsun is encountering  the same problem that led me to initiate this thread ... If you try to install any of the available 10.9.x from 10.6.8 the installer exits with an error "10.9 required for this update" ... seems strange that 10.9 is so very hard to find ! ! !
    jeff
    Clearly you can not update 10.9 if you do not have 10.9
    It is very easy to find, it is in the App Store as the picture I posted earlier displays. Follow the same instructions. If you can't then use THIS LINK which will take you there.
    The current version of 10.9 is 10.9.5 and that is what you will get.

    i have an acer aspire 5935 32bit and i cant download itunes as it just keeps freezing. can anybody help pls??

    Have you tried "Run" instead of "Save?"
    Do you have anti-virus software on the PC? If you do, try disabling the anti-virus for just 15minutes to allow the download to finish.
    Hope one of those helps.

  • 2008 24inch iMac freezing - any suggestions?

    Hello,
    My mac keeps shutting down and I'm hoping someone out there can help!  It's a 24inch iMac that I bought in late 2008 and the problems have been ongoing intermittently for maybe 6 months now.  Basically what will happen is that I’ll be using it when it will suddenly freeze and the screen goes blank.  I have to then hold down the power button on the back to turn it off and then on again.  Since I don’t know what’s causing this, the following may or may not be relevant:
    I use it most often for internet (I use firefox) but the issue has happened when doing other things too, so I don’t think it’s related to any particular problem.
    I was running leopard and wondered if the problem was because I needed to upgrade, but since installing snow leopard the problem is exactly the same. 
    The computer seems to get hot, especially on the top left corner.
    It’s showing that I have 36GB free on the hard drive.
    I've been searching online for suggestions but haven't found anything directly relevant.  Could anyone give me some ideas of what  to try?  Is it just getting old or is there something I can do?  Any suggestions gratefully accepted and please let me know if there's other information that you would need to know in order to provide any suggestions.
    Thanks so much in advance.
    Model Name: iMac
    Model Identifier: iMac8,1
    Processor Name: Intel Core 2 Duo
    Processor Speed: 2.8 GHz
    Number Of Processors: 1
    Total Number Of Cores: 2
    L2 Cache: 6 MB
    Memory:            2 GB

    Hmmm, this isn't working out so well.  I tried to install after downloading from Macupdate, and it didn't work properly.  I first saved the zip file, and then unzipped it but couldn't open the file.  Now when I try to delete it, I get a message saying that I can't delete the application because it is open.  When I try to open it, I get a message saying I can't open because it's damaged or incomplete.  Any thoughts? 
    Thanks in advance for your help.

  • Seriously tried everything and my macbook keeps freezing...HELP

    I have a white macbook 2,1.  Running 10.7.5 with two gigs of crucial memory, installed 3 years ago (passed Rember test yesterday), installed new HD, I only have the OS loaded and Rember.  No other programs.  Everything works fine, but after anywhere between 1 minute and 15 minutes after start up, it will freeze.  The freeze is more like being super slow.  Super slow as in it will take the 3 minutes for the pointer to get caught up to where it was moving.  I ran hardware test holding down "d" while starting up.  All passed.  My screen is fine, no flickering.  I am at a total loss.  After reseting the PRAM it seems to last a bit longer before freezing, but it still ends up freezing.  If I close the cover and open it back up it is guaranteed to freeze immediately. I am open to any suggestions.  I even clean the logic board, fan, heat sink, new thermal paste and nothing has helped.  Please HELLLLLLP!

    If you don't have the Applecare extended warranty then you will need to pay for the fix. The fix is a New Logic Board. It seems as your Graphics card is failing in some way. No there is no software fix for this.
    The Graphic chip is soldered to the logic board and the only way to change/fix it is to replace the complete logic board.
    Good Luck and Best Wishes

  • HT201412 i updated my i pad 4th gen with ios 8 when the upload finished it kept turning itself off a few weeks later i did a update and now wont turn on i have tried to restore and recover but freezes any suggestions thanks Rick

    Hi i have a ipad 4th gen i updated to ios 8.0 after it installed it kept turning itself off. A few weeks later i installed a update for ios it turned itself off and wont turn back on. I have tried  plugging it into itunes to restore it recognizes the ipad when i press recover it just freezes and wont restore or recover its just a blank screen there is no power light or anything just blank please help with any suggestions, Thanks Rick.

    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.

  • My Macbook Pro keeps freezing, any way to fix this?

    My Macbook Pro 13" late 2012 keeps freezing during normal usage or when i just leave it unattended. I've had to manually shut it down a bunch of times already. The first time I had to shut it down, the screen got messed up and looked like a broken screen with static and stuff.
    Does anyone have a way to check out what this problem is and possibly fix it?

    I tried Peggy's List > Select All > Copy > Paste into an AW spreadsheet suggestion.
    In my case, pasting into the spreadsheet lost all text formatting (mostly text set to bold). The results of formulas were pasted, and checkboxes were pasted as "on" or "off". The DB did not contain any pop-up menus or radio buttons, but I expect they would transfer as a number showing the list position of the chosen item.
    Pasting the copied List view data into a Numbers table gave a result similar to that with AppleWorks. I selected B2 as the target cell (for top left cell of the pasted data) to avoid any effects of posting into a header row or column. Bold and regular text formatting looked the same as it had in AW's List view.
    Based on that, I'd slip the 'paste into an AppleWorks Spreadsheet step, and paste directly into a Numbers Table.
    Regards,
    Barry

  • Hi, my Iphones calibration is off, the time is frozen, and it freezes.Any suggestions? I already tried to reset it various times and updated it .

    I have an iphone 5C, and the calibration started messing up since I tried clicking various things and it would click something else. Then the time started freezing, I changed it various times to update so that it updates to the current time but it just freezes. Now, it also freezes on me and it wont let me restart it with ease. I already tried reseting it various times and no luck. I tried updating the time and it just stays at the time I update it to. Any suggestions?

    Mine is doing that too. I tried the Menu/Center button. It's definitely fully charged. I've clicked from Hold/not several times. I've turned off/on. I've 'Reset' - nothing is working. It's been doing this for a week.
    I called the 800# - I thought the dude was really nice. I was disappointed to find that I'd hafta pay $30 to have it shipped/$39 for 'agreement'. I've only had it for a couple months...
    The dude hung up on me! Thanks, Adrian for wonderful customer service
    Guess I'll drive out to a store and see what they tell me.
