My text messaging is missing after iOS7 upgrade.  Any fixes?

After upgrading to iOS on iPhone 4s text messaging app is missing.  Only see a blank screen when bringing up the Messaging screen.  Incoming messages arrive and sound an alert but can't access the user interface.  There is only a blank screen which times out and reverts to the home page. I have re set network settings, all settings multiple times. Re booted, also backed up to iClould and re-set to factory settings.  Nothing works. 

I'm so sremely frustrated! First off didn't wanna update my device after having it 5 years, then I'm forced to, then I learn a new operating software, then they take away the ONE reason I stuck with Motorola, swype integration. I'm done playing this update game. I want a flip phone back. Any solution to this update? Was leaving swype out a mistake? Substitutions? Also, my personal dictionary is gone. What a waste of time.

  • Settings App missing after iOS7 upgrade

    Decided to upgrade (if that is the word) from iOS6 to iOS7 last night on the iPad2 and have a number of issues but the main one if that the Setting App (icon) does not seem to be visible anywhere. Has anyone had a similar problem after upgrading to iOS7?
    I haven't done a hard reset as has been suggested (I am at work and don't have the iPad here with me) but anything else that can be suggested including how to rollback to iOS6 would be appreciated. One thing that I though may have contributed to this is the in iOS6 the settings icon was in a folder called "Entertainment" (one of the kids may have moved it there) so is it possible that it got lost due to being in a folder.
    Any help would be most welcome and greatly appreciated.

    This is my problem I don't have this icon so it is going to be difficult to try the solution ie. general-reset-reset home screen layout

  • Can't activate Messaging or FaceTime after iOS7 upgrade.

  • TS4208 Apple Mail client no longer marks my mail as read on all my iOS devices. If I read a email on my iPhone and later open Mail on my iPad, the iPad still shows the email as unread.This changed recently, perhaps after iOS7 upgrade. Did I miss a setting

    Apple Mail client no longer marks my mail as read on all my iOS devices. If I read a email on my iPhone and later open Mail on my iPad, the iPad still shows the email as unread.This changed recently, perhaps after iOS7 upgrade. Did I miss a setting? All mail account are IMA. iCloud is set to push, business mail is set to fetch every 15 minutes.

    Read thier own support document on the subject then
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1795
    This document was written as an answer to all those who complained about it as paying MobileMe users
    They ignored us then and when MobileMe became iCloud they ignored us again, and just carried on with a system that will not update the e-mail read status across all devices
    That's how it works,   and like you 1000's of loyal Apple users cant believe it either but there you go

  • After ios7 upgrade, I cannot select different ringtone for different phone #

    I had set up different ringtones for specific phone numbers but after ios7 upgrade, all the phone numbers ring with the default ringtone. The ringtones are still individually assigned correctly when I look in the addresses book. I have even tried changing an assigned ring tone to something else & heard the new ring tone when it was selected, but when the number was called, I just got the default ringtone.
    Any ideas or solutions?

    Hello ccrjon,
    Thank you for providing so much detail about the issue you are experiencing with Messages after upgrading to iOS 7.
    The first thing I recommend is quitting and relaunching the applications on your iPhone:
    Double-click the Home button.
    Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
    Swipe the app up to close it.
    You can find the full article here:
    iOS: Force an app to close
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5137
    If you are still seeing the same issue after quitting and relaunching the Messages app, I recommend restarting your phone and then resetting if it's still not working:
    Restarting your device
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red "slide to power off" slider appears, and then slide the slider.
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
    Note: Reset your device only if you are unable to restart it.
    Resetting your device
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

  • I have a 2010 Cadillac CTS that no longer works w/my iPhone 4 after iOS7 Upgrade.

    I have a 2010 Cadillac CTS that no longer works w/my iPhone 4 after iOS7 Upgrade.  Any suggestions?  It worked well before the upgrade.

    I'm sorry...my question was imprecise.  When I said 'no longer works' I was referring to plugging the device into the USB and power jacks in the center console and then being able to play music through the radio and control the device from either the radio or the steering wheel buttons.  The iPhone 4 I use for this purpose has no cellular service and has never been paired with the car.  I have an iPhone 5 with cellular service that is paired with the car.  I cannot test theiPhone 5 with the car because of the difference of connectors on the phone.   :-(  The iPhone 4, however, works fine in my wife's Hyundai Santa Fe.
    Thanks, in advance!

    No, they probably got lost out there somewhere. They're gone.

  • Ipad2 crashes multiple times a day after ios7 upgrade.

    Ipad2 crashes multiple times a day after ios7 upgrade. This does not seem to be an app specific problem and has happened with Safari, other browsers, games, books, etc. The screen freezes and then the app closes to the reveal the desktop. I use the ipad exclusively in landscape. I have purged memory several times and tried re installation. I never had a problem with the device prior to the upgrade. Any suggestions or solutions? Many thanks.

    Try This...
    Close All Open Apps... Sign Out of your Account... Perform a Reset... Try again...
    Reset  ( No Data will be Lost )
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Release the Buttons.

    If no joy...
    Reset all settings
    Settings > General > Reset > Reset all Settings.
    This will return all iDevice settings to factory defaults... you will not lose any data.... But you will have to re-enter all of the device settings.
    If the issue persists...

  • Text Messaging stopped working after changing Apple password, although it is still working on my iPhone.a

    Text Messaging stopped working after changing Apple password, although it is still working on my iPhone.  I tried changing the password in the Settings>Messenger, but can't get it to work.  What do I do?

    After I type in the message and click on the Send button, "Sending" is displayed, but at the end of this process, a message under the message says "Not Delivered".

  • I restored my iphone from a backup that is about one month old (because all my contacts had disappeared). Is it possible to retrieve the text messages that occurred after that back up. They disappeared after the restore.

    I restored my iphone from a backup that is about one month old (because all my contacts had disappeared). Is it possible to retrieve the text messages that occurred after that back up. They disappeared after the restore.

    I don't know if I'm on the same page as you.
    But if you backed up the phone with those contacts pictures notes etc, you should get them back.
    After restoring your phone, use the back up that done when you had those contacts messages etc??

  • YouTube icon missing after ios6 upgrade

    YouTube icon missing after ios6 upgrade

    D-fest,
    I was upset about the YouTube app as well, and my initial impressions were that the Apple YouTube app was better, but after using it a bit I realized the Google YouTube app was actually better. Some of the features are initially not obvious (in this case it was a matter of what I was used to), but they are all there and more. It seems to generally work better too.
    I don't stream an awful lot, but I have not experienced any wifi drops while doing so yet.

    After iOS7 upgrade, iTunes only gives blank screens.  And Netflix won't load.  Any idea on what to do?

    Yep. I did some more poking around and found that one. Downloaded it and tried to run it and got more errors. Did some more searching and found a fix for the installer on Vista. Ran the fix and tried the ipod software again. It got further, but then hung up again. I'm still trying to figure this all out. Anyone got any answers it'd be much appreciated.

  • Why can't I "load earlier messages" via Text Message since the OS 5 upgrade?  They will not load!

    why can't I "load earlier messages" via Text Message since the OS 5 upgrade?  They will not load! Nor can I forward them to my email like I used to be able to do prior to the OS upgrade.  Please advise.

    "Why can't I load iOS 4.3.5 onto my older (2nd gen?) iPod touch? "
    Beacuse it does not support the new software.  2nd gen can only go to 4.2.1
    Identifying iPod models
    If you have a second gen, then you should be able to get 4.2.1.  What computer OS do you have?  What version of Itunes?
