My messages screen is blank after upgrading iPhone 5 to IOS 8

I upgraded my iPhone 5 to IOS 8 this morning and now my messages screen is blank (white). I can see an incoming message on the screen when the phone is locked but disappears after unlocking. The Messages icon reflects an ever-increasing number of unread messages. Help!!

Hi ..
Reset the device:
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
If that doesn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings
No data is lost due to a reset.

Stuck "Searching..." near WiFi after upgrading iPhone 4S' iOS to v7.1.

Hello.
I up(date/grad)ed my client's iPhone 4S' iOS 7.0.6 from the Internet (not through MacBook Pro's iTunes). After the successful up(grad/date), we noticed the top left says "Searching..." left of WiFi for a long time. Is this normal? WiFi Internet seems to work though. When is it supposed to go away? Everything else seems to be OK so far.
Thank you in advance.

Hello antdude,
It sounds like you are seeing "Searching..." on your client's iPhone after an update. I recommend the following steps:
Symptoms
iPhone may display one of the following symptoms in the status bar:
Displays No Service or Searching in an area of good coverage
Does not regain service when returning to an area of coverage
ResolutionIf you encounter any of the above symptoms on your iPhone, try these steps to attempt to resolve the issue. Test after each step.
Try turning iPhone off and then on again.
Remove the SIM card and verify that it is a valid, carrier-manufactured SIM. Also verify that it is not damaged, worn, or modified. Then reinsert it.
Check for a carrier settings update. Tap Settings > General > About while connected to a Wi-Fi network. If an update is available, a prompt should appear soon. If Wi-Fi is not available, connect your device to iTunes.
Update your iPhone to the latest version of iOS.
Restore the iPhone.
If you're still experiencing No Service issues, contact your carrier to check for any network or account issues that could cause this issue.

After upgrading to latest IOS while playing games screen is flickering

While playing games screen is flickering after upgrading to latest IOS.

I have taken it out of the case - I figured it would obstruct the sensor (also have no screen protector).
Only thing I haven't tried from the Basic troubleshooting steps you mentioned was to "restore as new".
That I did try it tonight (succesffully restored), BUT my problem still exists.
You mentioned to go in the MAC store > Would they replace it (for free) if they reach the conclusion it's some sort of manufacturer faulty wiring even if it's a 3Gs (as an old model)?
Would they still if phone had water damage (this I'm just curious - the phone didn't)?

My mail messages are blank after upgrading to OS X Mavericks. How do I fix this??

My mail messages are blank after upgrading to OS X Mavericks. How do I fix this??

Hi, I had this same problem. I have a load of work subfolders and was showing the message header but no content. I think it lost the link to the original messages.
There may be a simpler way but I fixed it by going to the mail folders in finder. I took the following steps:
Go to user library (hold down the alt key whilst clicking the Go menu in finder to access user library)
Go to user/Library/Mail/V2/Mailboxes. You should be able to see your mailboxes and your original messages (ending .emlx) after clicking down the hierachy in each mailbox. For some reason mail added a "-2" onto the end of each mailbox which I think has caused the problem.
Copy each required mailbox (.mbox) onto desktop. I removed the "-2" at this stage to clean things up.
In Mail, choose File/Import Mailboxes....
Import data from: Apple Mail. Click continue, navigate to desktop and choose the relevant .mbox folders. Click Choose.
It should then import the mail to a new folder called import in mail. You can then rename that folder or move the subfolders out.
I moved the .mbox folders on my desktop to my documents folder as a backup just in case. I then deleted the problem mailboxes from the finders mailboxes folder.
Problem solved - for me anyway!!
Hope this helps.

IPhone 4 screen goes blank after lock screen

My iPhones screen works perfectly on the lock screen but as soon as i enter the passcode it goes blank.
Its still fully functional in terms of recieving calls, vibrating, screenshotting etc. but what could i do to fix it.
I've already tried reseting the settings by holding the home and sleep button at the same time.
What else can I do?

I'm sorry, but this makes no sense. What do you mean by "screenshotting"? How can you tell anything is working if the screen goes blank after you enter the passcode?
If a reset didn't fix it, try a restore. If that doesn't fix it, restore it as a new device.

Lost all messages, message app is blank after installing IOS8.3

Hi I updated my iPhone 5s to IOS8.3 yesterday. Once the update was completed, my iMessage is blank, i.e. the screen turns blank after I click on the message icon. I had about 2300 un-read text before the install. That number still shows on the icon. When I click it, my screen becomes blank (except the cell phone / wifi reception beacon and battery on top). The rest is entirely blank. After a while, the app would close and go back to home screen. It feel like the app tries to load my messages, but fails. I tried the followings things after reading online posts:
reset network settings - did nothing
reset settings - did something. my phone seems to start receiving text messages. I saw notices, but the app remains blank when clicked. my phone just vibrates every couple of minutes, like it's receiving messages
turn off imessage - did something. Once, I saw all my message came back. When I tried to reply to a text, the app closed itself. When I click to open again, the app become blank
Restore to factory settings - did nothing to messages
I'm now restoring it to a New Phone - wish me luck

HI minaqva,
Sometimes a problem with Thunderbird may be a result of malware installed on your computer, that you may not be aware of.

How do I turn off messages on my iMac after upgrading to Yosemite?

How do I turn off messages on my iMac after upgrading to Yosemite?

Hi,
Open the Messages app.
Go to the Preferences item in the app's Menu.
Select the account pane in the Preferences.
Each active account should have a tick in the Enable this Account box.
This can be unticked.
This will stop accounts logging in but will not stop the app Launching in certain circumstances.
First of all check the app is Quit before shutting down the computer.
The fact the app is open even if all windows are hidden can cause the app to restart when you Start up the computer.
Messages is a Multiple window app and using the red button on the top left of a window only closes that window and does not Quit the app.
Also check the System Preferences > Users and Groups > your account > Login Items tab.
This will list items that are set to Start up when the computer does.
I have a couple of External Drive on other computers, some Anti Virus software and the common iTunes Helper plus an old version of TextExpander that will work if I launch the Preference Pane this way.

After upgrading iphone 5 to iOS 7, I cannot install new apps

After upgrading iphone 5 to iOS 7, I cannot install new apps. I get the message that I must first read and agree to iTunes terms and conditions. I read the terms and conditions online, but I don't see a way to agree when I install or re-install iTunes 11.1. I can update existing apps ok, though.
Anyone have this problem and find solution?

What kind of iMac do you have? A PowerPC G3, G4, G5, or an Intel-based iMac? What OS are you using? OS 9, OS 10.2.x Jaguar, 10.3.x Panther, 10.4.x Tiger, 10.5.x Leopard, 10.6.x Snow Leopard, 10.7.x Lion, 10.8.x Mountain?
This particular forum is for older PowerPC G3, G4, G5 iMacs running OS 10.5.8 or older. If your iMac was made after 2006, then you have an Intel-based iMac.
That being said, here are a few tips to try:
Option 1
Restart the computer while holding down the Option key. This will tell the computer to look for bootable drives. If it finds your normal startup disk, select let, then click the right pointing arrow to boot up the computer. Now open up System Preferences> System> and select your normal Startup OS as the default startup disk.
Option 2
Reset your PRAM. Press and hold down the Command Option P R keys while starting your computer. You will hear the startup chime. continue holding down those keys until you hear the startup chime a second time. Release the keys. If the computer restarts, you will need to reset your Date and Time. It might be time to replace your PRAM battery.
Option 3
Reset the SMC by removing all cables (USB, Firewire, Ethernet, Modem, Power cord) from the back of your computer. Let it sit for one minute. Press and hold the power on button on the back of the iMac while plugging in the power cord. Release the power on button. Count to five, the press the power on button again.
Option 4
Place your original, came with the iMac when purchased install disk, into the slot on the iMac, press and hold the C key while pressing the power on button on the back of the computer. (If you have upgraded your OS from when you purchased your iMac, example your iMac came with OS 10.3 installed, and you're now using OS 10.5, then use the OS 10.5 Retail Install disk that you had used to upgrade your OS instead of the original, came with the iMac disk.)
Continue holding the C key until you see the OS starting to load. DO NOT do an OS installation. At the top Menu bar, select Utilities or Utility, and pull down to Disk Utility. On the left side of the window that opens,select your normal OS drive. Click First Aid at the top middle of the window if it isn't already selected. Click Repair Disk from the lower right area of the window. When that is done, click Repair Permissions to the left of the Repair Disk button you clicked earlier.
When that is done, quit Disk Utility. From the top Menu bar (I think its under Utilities) select the Start Up Manager, and choose your normal boot volume as the startup disk. Restart the computer. If successful, and you've rebooted from your normal startup disk, eject the install DVD/CD, and you're good to go.
Good luck.

Ipod screen goes blank after ios 5 update

I've been having this issue since the ios 5 update, but it seems that sometimes when I use my ipod on my ipad I hit either playlist, artist, or ect and my screen goes all black. A temp fix is powering the ipad off and on agian. I thought that with the release of the update to ios5 would fix it, but I'm still having the issue.

Why can't i activate my iphone 3gs after upgrading it to ios 6?

why can't i activate my iphone 3gs after upgrading it to ios 6?
It says,
''There is no sim card installed in the iphone you are attempting to activate''
Thanks for your help in advance!

There are several common causes for this problem:
Your security software (Antivirus, firewall, router settings) is blocking access to gs.apple.com, Apple's activation servers. Try temporarily disabling your security applications on your computer.
You have a redirect in your hosts file that defines a different IP address for gs.apple.com. you must delete all references to gs.apple.com from your hosts file (c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts, or /etc/hosts on a Mac)
Your phone is jailbroken or otherwise hacked.
