  • My screen is locked on my 4S and I can not turn off phone

    My screen is locked on my 4S I PHone. I can not turn off the phone and everytime I touch the screen Siri reports the action.

    Have you tried resetting your iPhone?
    Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10-15 seconds).
    No data will be lost.

  • I tried to update the software for my iPhone 4S. It froze, and now won't turn off, or on, or sync.  Any ideas on how to fix this?

    I tried to update the software for my iPhone 4S, 16 GB to the most recent version (8.1?).  I don't know what I was updating from, because I can't access that, but it was whatever was installed on it (I got it about a year ago, so probably 6.something). 
    It froze, and now won't turn off, or on, or sync with my macbook plus, which is what I have always sync'd it to.  (I backed it up and sync'd it right before I tried to update the software.)
    Since it originally froze almost 3 hours ago, it shows a white screen with the apple on it and a line underneath.  When I try to sync with my laptop, it says it needs me to enter a passcode on the phone, which I can't enter because the screen is frozen.  So I'm unable to access the iPhone portion of iTunes.
    I have tried to turn it off, with no luck.  I have tried rebooting my laptop and syncing, but I still get the same result.
    Does anyone know how to fix this?
    I really wanted to wait to update the software, but I was having internet connectivity issues for the past 3 weeks, and Sprint suggested updating the phone's software.
    Thanks in advance for your help!

    Hi NWL1,
    Thanks for the question. If I understand correctly, the iPhone won't update and is stuck. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help you resolve or isolate the issue.

  • HT1430 I downloaded the lateest update and I can't turn off my apps like I did on 6os. The 7os is different and I can't seem to find out if apps turn off now by just closing them. Can anyone explain this to me? Please

    Double tap the Home button and swipe the app preview page up
    iOS 7  also allows apps to run while they aren't open.

    Hi Linda,
    Unplugging it from AC power will drain the PRAM Battery in short order, thereby losing setting, like Monitor resolution.
    You can test the Pram Battery by disconnecting from the Internet so Date/Time doesn't update before you see it, shutdown, unplug AC for a bit, startup & check Time.
    In Sys Pefs>Displays, can you set the resolution?

  • Cleaned files and apps with "app cleaner" and now MacBook Air turns off during start up. What happens? What can I do? Please help

    Cleaned files and apps with "app cleaner" and now MacBook Air turns off during start up. What happens? What can I do? Please help

    The "app cleaner" managed to do bad things to the file system so that it is unable to boot any longer.
    This is the primary reason I always recommend that any of those so called "cleanup" apps never be used. They do more harm then good.
    Try a safe boot by holding down the shifgr key when you hear the boot chime. Maybe that can fix the damage.
    Let us know what happens.

  • I have an iPhone 5S and I can't turn off the hotspot.

    I have an iPhone 5S with IOS 8.1.1 and I can't turn off the hotspot. The button says it is off but it still shows up in the available wifi list on my other devices. I tried turning it to on and back off. I tried resetting it. Any ideas??

    I believe that's because your other devices remember your Hotspot for quick future use. Just tap on the blue circled 'i' next to your Hotspot name in the other device and tap 'Forget This Network'. This should solve it.

  • My power button has been broke for a while and now i cannot turn my phone on, any suggestions ?

    my power button has been broke for a while and now i cannot turn my phone on, any suggestions ?

    If the battery was completely dead it may take some time to get it going.
    Leave it pluggen into a wall jack for about 15 minutes then check back.
    If not, you will need to make a Genius Bar appointment or contact Apple for a repair.

  • Can I turn off phone and sms function?

    Sometimes I want to watch movies without interruption. Can I turn off all the phone, sms, e-mail function and turn on only video? Just like iPod touch? If yes, how to?

    You can go in and activate Airplane Mode which essentially turns off the radios (3G, Edge, Wifi, etc.). No phone calls will come through obviously.
    This should allow you to watch movies without any interruptions. Obviously things like alarms will still function though.

  • Took phone update and now can't turn down volume all the way?

    I took the latest phone system software update, and now when I turn down the volume (using the volume button on the side) the lowest it will go is vibrate instead of silent.  This is annoying, because I sometimes like to turn it all the way down in meetings or when I sleep at night, but it vibrates on incoming calls or corporate e-mail notifications.
    Why did you guys do away with the fully-minimized volume choice?
    The Motorola Droid (Droid 1, I suppose), under the original software load, allowed you to turn down volume (in some number of steps), down to Vibrate, and then finally all the way Off.  The only sound it would make would be if you set an alarm clock.
    With the new load, turning it down only goes to vibrate, and not silent.
    The "Silent Mode" available when pressing the power button should be more appropriately named "Vibrate Mode."  It appears that there is no longer a true "silent" mode under the Droid O/S.
    I looked at a number of marketplace apps, but they all seem to be based on a timer setting, i.e.  set a time frame that you don't want any sounds.
    Why did Verizon (or is it Google?) have to break something that didn't need fixing?

    It's a known issue and has been discussed numerous times. If you need quick access, you can get beautiful silent from the market for free which will allow you have a widget on your homescreen for silent mode.

  • I can't open any apps on my 4S and I can't turn off the phone

    Try a Reset. Hold Sleep/Wake and Home buttons down simultaneously until the Apple logo appears.

  • Can you turn off phone calls and texts??

    I am traveling to Buenos Aires from the United States for a minimester.. I called my cellular carrier and they do not have a plan to save me money in regards to phone calls and texts. I have the app What'sApp so I can use a data plan they offered me to keep in contact while I am way, however I am still afraid of racking up charges in texts and phone calls. Is there any possible way to turn off phone calls and text and strictly use the data plan they have given me?
    I have the iPhone 5. Thank you.

    FYI, that won't work. AirPlane disables all radio communications.
    The best way to do this is to divert all calls.
    Go to Settings
    Phone
    call forwarding and switch to O
    Type in your carriers default voicemail number. Because it is the default number for voicemail is an exception in their list you won't be charged for the diversion.
    remember to switch this off when you get back.
    Then go to messages turn off send as SMS and MMS.
    That should avoid most of the charges. Its inevitable that you'll get some but hopefully if you're careful it will be minimal.
    Have you thought of using a local sim while you're there, you're iMessage will still work and your home SIM and account will be inactive so you won't get any unforseen chardges?
    Good luck
