Stuck home screen; unable to get to main page

I recently updated my iPhone on iTunes (a friend's) and ever since, every time I shut off my phone overnight & turn it on the next morning, it gets stuck on the main screen where you slide to unlock...only I can't do even that. I can't shut if off, manually restart, nothing. So, now I feel like I can't even shut my phone off ever!! The only way I got it to work last time this happened was to plug it back in to my friend's iTunes....but I can't have this not work until I see that friend again. I have it plugged in but I can't get past this screen. Any suggestions?

Hi and Welcome to the Forums!
If your device OS has the option, you can dictate what shows in Messages:
Homescreen > Messages > > Options > (Main Message List Settings) or (Inbox Settings) > check/uncheck what you want to show/suppress in Messages
You will still have the secondary icons, but you can hide them and simply manage all email via the main Messages app.
Good luck!

    New iphone 6 is stuck on the home screen. Unable to get to the swipe bar to swipe it. I have restarted it and it always come back to en extra large home screen picture. Phone rings, but unable to answer phone.

    Hello hammergator,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    If your iPhone is unresponsive but you are able to restart it, then I'd like you to try resetting it next.
    To reset, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons for at least 10 seconds, until you see the Apple logo.
    Restart or reset your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
    Take care,
    Alex H.

  • N8 Home screen - how to get multiple buttons in a ...

    Hi,
    Nokia N8 home screen comes with two rows having 4 widgets / items each.
    I deleted the second row by mistake (which included Phone set up, messaging etc)
    I can't get it back now. When I try, I can only get one widget in a complete field (instead of 4).
    Can someone help me, how to get this row back?
    Thanks,
    Kaps
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Options>Edit Content>tap screenand select add content>select Shortcut 1/2 . Once shortcut widget is added, tap and select settings and simply add the shortcuts you want in thet widget then select exit and then Done on the main screen.
    Good Luck

  • Why does my home screen icons automatically get bigger

    As soon as I turn my iPhone 4s on the home screen icons increase in size automatically and then I am unable to use the bottom of the screen on the home screen and on many apps.  Any way to stop it from doing this?  Thank you

    I wanted to also mention that I have gone to Accessibility and made it where it does not zoom with the three finger tap.  That does not fix my problem, but I will say I have to have this feature turned on in order to use the bottom row of my keyboard.  I am able to get to the characters/letters that I need if I zoom in. That and flipping my screen to landscape are the only things that have allowed my phone to function until I can upgrade.

  • Why is it that every time I am doing something weather it's looking in the app store or using safari I iPad will close down and take me to my home screen? It gets very frustrating when you in the middle of something. I have checked for updates, none avai

    None available. Any possible solution of what could be causing this issue. PLEASE HELP!!!!!!

    Your iPad is as updated as it can be at 5.1.1. Your apps are crashing probably due to a lack of memory. Try keeping apps in the recents tray to a minimum. For starters close all apps completely, clear Safari and then reboot the iPad.
    Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the task bar will appear with all of your recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar.
    Go to Settings>Safari>Clear History, Cookies and Data. 
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
    See if this helps at all. If if does, remember to keep apps in the recents tray to a minimum. You shouldn't have to do that, but unfortunately, iOS 5.1.1 stretched the capability of the original iPad processor to its limits .... IMO!

  • Stuck on amazon, unable to get off, cleared hx, unable to get to anyother sites

    tried turning comp off, logging out of firefox, logging out of Amazon, nothing works, site opens up with amazon in the line already.

    Check your home page settings
    Open a new window or tab. In the address bar, type '''about:config'''.
    If a warning screen comes up, press the '''Be Careful''' button.
    This is where Firefox finds information it needs to run.
    At the top of the screen is a search bar. Type '''browser.newtab.url'''
    and press enter. '''browser.newtab.url'''
    tells Firefox what to show when a new tab is opened.
    If you want, right click and select '''Modify'''. You can change the setting to;
    '''about:home''' (Firefox default home page),
    '''about:newtab''' (shows the sites most visited),
    '''about:blank''' (a blank page),
    or you can enter any '''web page''' or '''about: page''' you want.
    The same instructions are used for the new window setting, listed as
    '''browser.startup.homepage'''.
    If you don't see anything wrong, search for '''amazon.'''

    Can somebody give any clue ????
    Regards,
    Raghbir

    Hi Raghbir,
    the Java Stack must be active because you can access the
    SLD and the ExchangeProfile. They are on the same
    machine, aren't they?
    I assume that you are on XI 3.0. Is there any program
    that changed the value of the JAXP-variables because it
    needs the Xerces parser?
    Do you see exceptions in the J2EE-Engine logs?
    Regards,
    Hermann

  • OMS is up and running but unable to get the console page through web browser

    Hi All,
    I have a wierd issue here.  I have my OMS running successfully, but I am not able access it through HTTPS connection in web browser.  My version of OEM is 11.1.0.1
    It was working till yesterday, I am not sure what happened suddenly that its not accessible anynore.
    I can successfully start and stop my OMS and it gives the status update also .
    Also, my agents can not connect to the OMS , I see that last succesfull OMS heartbeat is not current .
    Any advice for the places to look in will help.  I tried to find the logs under sysman but nothing was there. Also , since I am able to start and stop the OMS successfully I dont have error logs.
    I believe in 11g , when we start OMS , HTTP services also start ? , still I am unable to access it.
    Let me know if any of you can you guide me through it.
    Thanks,
    Krishna.

    Looking over you configuration, it looks like you perhaps have a typo in your weblogic-ejb-jar.xml resource reference. In your weblogic-ra.xml you have defined the JNDI name to be MctEIS11/connFctryCCA but in your resource reference in the weblogic-ejb-jar.xml, you have defined the JNDI name as MctEIS11/connFctryCCA1. In applications where we have an RA and EJB clients, these JNDI names are usually defined as the same and we take advantage of the fact that the resource ref definition in the EJB descriptor makes the resource application scoped (vs. global scoped) so we will usually do application scoped JNDI lookups from within the EJB (i.e. ctx.lookup("java:comp/env/MctEIS11/connFctryCCA")). We do this because we support the WL production redeployment feature which defines as a best practice that all application references be defined at the application scope so they are self contained and not shared between multiple versions of the app that are deployed simultaneously. Your situation may not require use of application scoped lookups so I do not want to give you the impression that it is required. Just sharing our configuration in hopes that it may help you resolve your issue.

  • The old version had a home icon to return to the main page but this version doesn't appear to have one

    the old version had a home icon to return to the home page.
    This version doesn't allow me to do this when I want to leave
    a website and return home. Is this something I can add in the browser bar?

    It's now at the far right end of the address bar. If you want to put it somewhere else, you can do this:
    View > Toolbars > Customize
    and drag the Home button into the window, then drag it bakc out to wherever you prefer.

  • After resetting ipad, unable to get to home screen. Only displays request to attach to Itunes, which I did. What next?

    after resetting ipad and removing all programs, cannot get to home screen. Only get request to plug in to itumes,which I did, and it still goes back to that, and the apple logo.

    The message means that you need to restore the iPad using iTunes. When you connect the iPad to your computer and launch iTunes, if you cannot see the iPad under the devices heading in the sidebar of iTunes, you wll have to restore using recovery mode. If you see the iPad under the devices heading, click on it and then click on the summary tab on the right and click on restore.
    If that doesn't work, this is how to restore with recovery mode.
    Disconnect the USB cable from the iPad, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
    Turn off iPad: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for iPad to turn off.
    If you cannot turn off iPad using the slider, press and hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When the iPad turns off, release the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons.
    While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to iPad. When you reconnect the USB cable, iPad should power on.
    Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears you can release the Home button.
    If necessary, open iTunes. You should see the recovery mode alert that iTunes has detected an iPad in recovery mode.
    Use iTunes to restore iPad.
    If you are running iTunes 11 - and you can't see the sidebar - to to View>Show Sidebar from the iTunes menu at the top of the screen.
