    iPhone 5s, iOS 7.1.2

    You don't just press the buttons at the same time, you have to hold them down together until you see the Apple logo. This can take 15-30 seconds. If it does not work the first time, connect the device to the charger and try again.

  • Bluetooth summons Siri but she won't respond until I hit the Home button.

    Using a Motorola Bluetooth headset, the call button summons Siri just fine. However, when I ask her to do something, nothing happens until I hit the Home button. Not very "hands free".

    Not all bluetooth headsets will support Siri and phone commands. You might want to check with Motorola support to see if that particular model will support all of Siri's services. It could be that it would support voice commands, but since you have Siri active it will activate Siri but not allow giving it commands.

  • Ever since I updated to IOs5 my regular text messaging won't work

    I can imessage just fine but anytime I text someone a message comes up saying that my SMS mailbox is full and I cannot receive new messages until I delete some. I already deleted almost all of my texts though and I know it can't be full because before I updated my software this was never a problem. Anyone else have this problem or know what to do for it? I already tried to reset all my settings and went to my phone store and they tried giving me a new sim card but nothing works. If I turn my phone off and back on I will received the text messages though.

    Do yoou periodically close your apps?  Double-click the Home button and you will see the open apps at the bottom. Press and hold one so it wiggles and yu see the X in the upper left corner.  Then press X to close the apps that you don't need.  That will free up memory (and speed up your phone).

  • When I open my email in the text box it doesn't show anything until i hit the forward button.  Can anyone help?

    When I open my email in the text box it doesn't show anything until i hit the forward button.  Can anyone help?

    See if any of the following help.
    Try turning the account off and on : Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars , then tap the account on the right, slide Mail to 'off', exit settings and go back into the Mail app, and then go back to Settings and slide Mail back to 'on'
    If that doesn't work then try closing the Mail app completely : from the home screen (i.e. not with the Mail app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Mail app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
    Also do a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • HT5137 I updated to ios7.0.2, when I double click on home button it brings up an app list but when I hold my finger on an icon it won't show any with a minus sign, is it no longer necessary to close apps?

    In ios 7.0.2, when you double click the home button it brings up the icons but won't allow you to show them with minus signs, is it no longer necessary to do this?

    It was never necessary except in certain unusual circumstances.

  • Trying to update my iPhone 4 from iOS 5.1.1 to 6.1 via iTunes.When I click the "Update" button, I just get a message saying the iTunes is at the current version (6.1), but no action re the iOS update.

    I'm trying to update my iPhone 4 from iOS 5.1.1 to 6.1. When I try to do this using iTunes on my MacBook Pro (OS X v 10.5.8), with my iPhone in its cradle, clicking the "Update" button in Tunes gets a message saying "This version of iTunes (10.6.1) is the current version." I can't get the iOS update to download.
    When I try to update to the iPhone directly, I get a message saying "iOS 6.0.1 failed verification because you are no longer connected to the Internet" at the Verifying Update step. I noticed that this message refers to iOS 6.0.1, even though I want to update to 6.1. It is possible that, a few weeks ago, I may have downloaded but not installed v 6.0.1.
    Thanks for any help with this problem

    I tried powering down and re-starting the iPhone (as suggested at http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1275). This seems to have cleared the "...not connected to the Internet" problem, and iOS 6.1 is now in the process of downloading.
    Thanks very much for your feedback.

  • I have a iphone4 and I cannot go on my messages or my settings otherwise it crashes or sends me back to the home screen, what do I do?

    I am having a big problem with my iphone as it is only allowing me to go on certain apps, I cannot get onto my settings or messages because if I do it crashes or sends me back to the home screen, I've had this problem for a while and have tried almost everything, can anyone help me please?.

    Quit Safari and reset the iPad.
    Double click the Home button to show the screen with running and recently used apps. Each app icon will have a sample page above it. Flick up on the page (not the app icon) and the page will fly away and the app icon will disappear. This quits that app. Then reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.

  • Text messages won't load, visual voice mail barely works, e-mail won't update

    I've had the HTC Rhyme for about two weeks. Last week I noticed my text messages were not loading. I I turned the phone off a few times. Still no text messages loading. I spoke with Verizon CS and they tried several solutions that did not work. I finally reset my phone and my text messages started loading again...for a couple of days. Exactly one week later my text messages are not loading again. I am not gonna reset my phone again. In addition to no text messages not loading, my visual voicemail works sometimes ( voicemails show up hours later). My aol email does not update. When I mentioned this to the Verizon CS they said "instead of using the phone's email setup, I should download the aol app from the Google Play Store. So, I downloaded the aol mail app last week. Since I had to reset my phone I had to download the aol mail app again. But, now I can't find the aol mail app in the Google Play Store. I am VERY dissatisfied with this phone.

        Sstelliott, I sorry to hear of the issue you are having with your phone and I’m here to help!
    Are you able to send text and picture messages? How do you know when you are not receiving a message? Do you get an error message? Are you able to access the Internet on your phone? Are you using a third party message app?
    Run the phone in safe mode http://bit.ly/tXe7I4 and have someone send you a text to see if you receive. I want to make sure a third party isn’t causing these issues.
    In regards to the visual voice mail, do you notice you have the delayed message when you’re in a certain area? Make sure airplane mode is disabled and that you’re able to access the Internet. Also, make sure call forwarding is disabled by dialing *73 send from your cell. You’ll hear a few beeps and the call will drop. Finally, update the phone by dialing *228 send and selecting option 2 to update. Once the update is complete make sure you power cycle the phone.
    The update should also help with the email issues. You mentioned you are unable to find the app in the Google Plat store. Go to the Play store and on the main page select the Menu key. Go to My Apps. There you should see the email app if you previously downloaded it before you did the hard reset.
    If you are still having issues after the troubleshooting step above, please post back and I’ll be more than happy to further assist you.

  • TS2755 After upgrading to IOS 7.0.2 sending messages doesn't work right.  It gets stuck on "sending", until I click the message and select the option "send as text".  What's wrong?

    When using Message after upgrading to IOS 7, it get stuck on "sending" and stays there forever until I click the message and hit "send as text" and then the message changes from blue to green and goes through.

    I turned the phone off and then back on and now it works.
