Texts get "stuck" and won't send without restart. Help.

I have had my S4 for just about 12 months. Over the last 2-3 months I have been having a horrible time sending texts. It is not related to the strength of my signal because it happens EVERYWHERE. In order to send a text that is "stuck", I have to restart my phone and resend my text. I am running on the most current software. Any advice?

Its a software bug with the kitkat update, its easier just to enable airplane mode then disable it

  • Macbook 10.6.8 the mouse keeps jumping around and also gets stuck and won't move at all, HELP

    I have a macbook 10.6.8 and the mouse is malfunctioning. It is jumping around without me touching the trackpad, and then at times I can't move the mouse at all. Has this happenned to anyone and what do I do?

    An irratic trackpad can be a symptom resulting from a swollen battery as these can expand then press upward toward the trackpad area and affect its function. If it is tight and ill-fitting, that may be the problem. These can open and leak stuff, too; so to see if an Apple Store genius or other expert can help determine that is the issue, and to get a replacement if it is, would be important.
    Unplug AC before removing, be sure MacBook is shut down. If bad, leave it out.
    Check the computer w/o battery to see if the trackpad issue changes.
    Have you tried the computer with a USB mouse (if the battery looks OK when removed & inspected to see if the sides are flat when set against a table top) to see if the same kinds of odd behavior continue, even if you go into the Trackpad preference panel and have the input ignored in the settings?
    I use a wired USB mouse with my MacBook but do not have the trackpad settings on ignore input. Mine does not have the original battery, and I do remove these on occasion and look in the compartment to check it.
    And then there's this. Worth mentioning, but doesn't seem likely...

    Hopefully something simple is behind this.

  • My backup gets stuck and won't finish?

    I am trying to backup my old phone and my current computer, and both get "stuck" during the upload, even though I bought more storage.

    This may be caused by a corrupt existing backup that needs to be deleted, or by data on your device that is causing the backup to fail.  To troubleshoot these, try deleting your last iCloud backup (if you have one) by turning off iCloud Backup in Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup, then tap Manage Storage, tap your device under Backups, then tap Delete Backup.  Then go back and turn iCloud Backup back on and try backing up again.
    If it still won't back up, you may have an app or something in your camera roll that is causing the backup to fail.  To locate which one, go to Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup>Manage Storage, tap the name of your device under Backups, under Backup Options tap Show All Apps, then turn them all to Off (including camera roll) and try backing up again.  If the backup is successful, then the camera roll and/or one of your apps is causing the backup to fail and you'll have to located by process of elimination. Turn the camera roll On and try backing up again.  If it succeeds, turn some of your apps to On and try backing up again.  If it succeeds again, turn some more apps to On then try again; repeat this process until it fails.  Eventually you'll be able to locate the problem app and exclude it from your backup.

  • My tv gets "stuck" and won't exit on demand or switch channels.

    My xfinity x1 keeps freezing and getting stuck, mainly when I push the on demand button on the remote. I have to unplug everything from the electrical outlet daily and wait for the system to set up again before I can watch tv.  This is getting to be a real pain. Any suggestions?

    Your upstream is a little on the high side. If you can, remove any unnecessary splitters to lower your upstream signal. If you can't, call for a tech to troubleshoot further.

  • I am having problems opening pages in safari. the rotating wheel at the right end of the address window doesn't stop even after the page has filled up. then if i try to open other pages it gets stuck and won't open them.

    I started having problems opening pages today. When first open a page it seems to download the page OK, but the rotating wheel on the right-hand end of the address field keeps rotating after the page is completely filled up. Then if I try to open other pages it becomes slower and eventually stops filling-in the pages, while the rotating wheel keeps rotating.
    I wonder whether junk is being downloaded into my mac, or what is going on. Help will be geatly appreciated.

    When was the last time you emptied the Safari cache?
    From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Empty Cache
    If that didn't make a difference, go back to the menu bar click Safari > Reset Safari. Select the top 5 boxes then click Reset.
    And how much free space on the startup disk?
    Right or control click the MacintoshHD icon. Click Get Info. In the Get Info window you will see Capacity and Available. Make sure you always have a minimum of 15% free disk space. Freeing Up Hard Disk Space - Mac Guides
    If emptying cache or resetting didn't help and there's enough free space on the startup disk, login to another user account, launch Safari. Same problems there indicates a system wide problem. Log back into your admin account so you can check the startup disk.
    Launch Disk Utility. /Applications/Utilities
    Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left then select the First Aid tab.
    Click: Verify Disk (not Verify Disk Permissions)
    If the startup disk needs repairing, follow the instructions for Using Disk Utility to verify or repair disks
    I wonder whether junk is being downloaded into my mac
    Nothing should "download" to your Mac unless you initiate the download yourself. You can check the Downloads folder from the Safari > Window menu or your Downloads folder in the Finder.

  • When I'm trying to deauthorize my iPod from my iTunes, it's trying to deauthorize it' but iTunes get stuck and I can only shut it down

    I have just bought an new i Phone, but I had an old iPod that I authorized on iTunes.
    Now, when I'm trying to deauthrize it, iTunes just get stuck, and won't continue working unless i shut it down directly from the task manager....
    What can I do?
    Thanks

    Could any of the music have been sourced on an external USB drive or a network drive? In iTunes, go to one of the songs that won't sync. Bring up the info page, and look at the location of that song on the disk. Does that file and path exist? That could be your problem, especially if they were on a USB drive you forgot about.

  • My spot healing tool gets stuck and freezes and won't keep up with the curser. I'm using LR4.

    My spot healing tool gets stuck and freezes and won't keep up with the curser. I'm using LR4.

    Remove the song in question from the sync list and see if the rectifies the problem.
    If it does, then iTunes believes the song no longer exists on your drive and that will need to be corrected.

    I'd first try downloading an installer from the Apple website using a different web browser:
    http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/
    If you use Firefox instead of IE for the download (or vice versa), do you get a working installer?

  • I have a new email and am trying to change it in icloud. but it has locked me out and won't send my email a reset password link for some reason. even though it says its sent, it doesnt come to the email address

    i have a new email so have a new apple ID now and am trying to change it in icloud. but it has locked me out and won't send my email a reset password link for some reason. even though it says its sent, it doesnt come to the email address. help!

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    If you are unable to remember your password, security questions, don’t have access to your rescue address or are unable to reset your password for whatever reason, your only option is to contact Apple ID Support, upon speaking to an operator you should explain that your problem is related to your Apple ID, this way you will not be charged for assistance, even if you don’t have an AppleCare plan.
    You will need to show patience with the procedure and be prepared to demonstrate without question that the account belongs to you. Don’t expect access to be restored immediately and if you aren’t the owner of the Apple ID registered to the device the account won’t be reset.

  • New Mini - Firewire plug is stuck and won't come out

    Hi,
    This is a virtually new Mac Mini; A firewire plug from my 20" Cinema display is stuck in the firewire port and won't come out. (I'm trying to disassemble this mini to move to another location.)
    I'm trying very hard not to pull too hard because I don't want to damage the firewire port. But I don't know what to do - it's just stuck and won't come out.
    Any ideas? Many Thanks,
    Frank B.

    Well, I finally got it out after fiddling with it, and walking away several times. I had to make sure I didn't damage it, so I approached it very gingerly.
    How did I get it out? It's amazing what actually worked. What worked was grasping ONLY the firewire chord about 1 to 2 inches away from the plug and pulling Only on the chord straight out.
    Doing it this way, it popped out with very little resistance. Strangely, the Apple Cinema Display firewire plug almost seems to click when you plug it in.
    So I immediately tested a generic firewire plug (non-Apple related) and it plugged in and pulled out with no problems or resistance whatsoever.
    "This completes my test of the Apple Cinema Display Firewire plug." (a joke there)

    Make an appointment at the genius bar.
    If you went without an appointment, then it would make sense that you could be turned away.

  • My pc gets stuck and frozen when i try to disconnect

    its already a few days now that i try to log out from my itunes account,and when i press the log out button my computer gets stuck and freeze.is there someone out there that can help me to solve the prob..thanx

    i am sorry to say but there is no way to undo a software update to go back you have to go threw your phone provider and have then do a replacement on the phone and just not do the update. when they receive the phone they will send it off for testing and to have the bugs fixed 

  • What do you do if you can't press your power button, because it's stuck and won't move?

    what do you do if you can't press your power button on the ipod touch, because it is stuck and won't work?

    Believe it or not, if the power button is not related to a more serious issue. You can take it to an Apple Store, remember to set a genius appointment at http://www.apple.com/retail/,  and get it unstuck for free, or call 800-676-2775 for help. If its more of an issue, they will tell you at the store and how much it will cost to repair if your device isn't under warranty. Also, you can trade it in for credit toward a new ipod touch. Hope this helps.
