The Reboot loop and iOS version problem

My iPod went into reboot loop,and I restored it.But I have iOS 6.0.1 now,not 6.Can you downgrade?

All I can say in this Apple forum is that Apple does not suport downgrading the iOS.

Random iPhone crashes and reboot loop after iOS 7 upgrade

Hi all
Since I upgraded my iPhone to iOS 7, I suffer from random crashes/resets, where my iPhone reboots and enters a reboot loop (Apple logo, black screen, reboot, Apple logo, black screen, reboot, etc) that I can only exit by restoring the device (resetting doesn't help).
Some more information
a) The device: iPhone 4, 32 GB, has never been jailbroken, and has never shown any similar issues before.
b) The crashes/reboots: I haven't been able yet to find a pattern when and why they happen. I had reboots when searching for an app, when pluging in the wall charger, when entering the access code, and even when doing nothing at all (iPhone in my pocket). The only constant is the reboot loop after the crash.
c) What I tried so far: I restored the device several times, using normal restore (with the iTunes logo) and DFU mode (black screen). After that, I recovered from a recent backup (takes some hours), and everything is ok again - for some hours, until the next crash and reboot loop. I also set up the device as a new phone, and there it seems stable, so I exclude a hardware issue. I tried quite a few of the advices that I found when googling for reboot loops: reset all settings (this led to an another immediate crash and reboot loop), disable app background refresh, etc.
I've been using this device for my daily business. With the current instability (and the couple of hours it takes to bring it back to life again), it became more or less useless. I wish I could downgrade again (I know that I can't). My assumption is that either iOS 7, or some incompatible app or some corrupt setting is causing this situation. But I don't know how to proceed to isolate and eliminate the issue. I really would like to avoid setting up everything from scratch again.
Any advice is greatly appreciated!

All,
First of all, sorry for my half-finished post above. While typing, I was interrupted, and by reflex I hit CMD-S. Unfortunately, the stupid interface of Apple's support website interpreted that as a submit command. I tried to complete my text with the update function, but when finally hitting the submit button, I got an error message, and all my updated text was gone... No way to bring it back, and also no way to delete the half-baked posting. Quite frustrating.
Now, to complete what I started above:
In my case, the problem definitely had something to do with the springboard process (an iOS system 'app' that manages the iOS homescreens) and the watchdog process (another iOS system 'app' that monitors certain things on your phone and that can initiate a restart when it thinks the phone is frozen). In the folder '/Users/<your account>/Library/Logs/CrashReporter/MobileDevice/<your phone>' I could see what caused my crashes; they were all 'stack+SpringBoard' and the reason in these crash log files was 'Watchdog timeout'.
The following two forum posts helped me:
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/1676330?start=30&tstart=0
https://discussions.apple.com/message/20794982#20794982
I'm quite sure that my issues had to do with the 'application map' that is mentioned in the above posts. So far, Ive been thinking that it was just too large (as in the case of Andi1996 [second link above]), but jmbladen's observation seems not to support this. So, the absolute number might not the source of the problem, but I still assume that something went wrong with my application map during the upgrade from iOS6 to iOS7. I remember having stability problems before, as soon as all my 10 home screens were full of apps and newly downloaded apps would generate additional pages (only visible via iTunes). Considering that there are some fundamental changes to how we can organize apps within folders in iOS 7, it can well be that the springboard process just wasn't able to cope with my application map correctly within the 120 seconds before the watchdog process restarts the phone. My massive cleanup action must have fixed this somehow.
@jmbladen: I'm only using iCloud for the 'find my phone' functionality, so all the backup & recovery was done via iTunes from my local harddisk. And there was no temporal pattern for my crashes before. You might suffer from the same symptoms, but probably not because of the same cause.
My advice for anyone affected by random crashes and a reboot loop is to check out the directory with the CrashReporter logs mentioned above to find out what app or process causes the crash. If it's the springboard and watchdog problem, then you should try to clean up your home screens (from iTunes). Maybe the absolute number of apps is not that important, but make sure that you reduce the number of screens. And then sync and backup before you start using the phone again. In my case it helped.
Hope this helps someone else too.
P.S. Once you know the right keywords to search for, you find forum postings back to 2008 / iOS 2 describing exactly the same problem. This reboot loop is a very nasty issue, and it is hard to understand that Apple still hasn't been able to address this, or at least provide some better help on how to get out of it again.

When will apple sort out the scrolling issues on iOS versions of iTunes and the App Store?

It seems impossible to get the horizontal scrolling to work smoothly and in a way that doesn't result in some albums/apps in the row being skipped.

Working fine for me. Have tried resetting or restoring?

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try another cable
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

*** may have found a fix ? *** Thanks to your post re: GDI objects I checked task manager ( added column "GDI objects")and saw 700+ whereas working 6.18 was 160 ish Got thinking - what could possibly use that many GDI objects ( firefox only uses a few hundred and it's a platform ) Then it hit me - emoticons ! So in tools/ options/ IM&SMS/ IM Appearance unchecked "show emoticons"and also unchecked "show images and other media previews"restarted Skype and GDI objects now only 164 ( down from 729 )and all other windows are repainting fine and are usable again( my problem was RDP sessions that became unusable, as I work remotely ) To be sure, have rechecked the options and restarted skype and see 700+GDI objects ( goes up from 660 when place call to echo/sound test )and removed them again to get only 164have also rebooted a few times and gone through the whole processof unchecking emoticons, restart, rechecking emoticons, restart to make sure itsnot a fluke. pretty sure this has fixed it for me ( so I now have a working 7.6.0.105 on XP SP3 ),and as your problem "sounds" the same I hope it also works for you. Thanks again for the GDI hint

P67A-GD55 - Two beeps after turning on the reboots loop

Hi
just installed a P67A-GD55 with a i5 2500k into my PC and everything was working fine, all drivers installed etc booted to Windows 7 no probs. Restarted and went into BIOS to check a few things then rebooted.
PC starts, two beeps, then reboots, continuously.
No BIOS LED flashing. So it seems two beeps means parity error. I've looked this up and mentions something about first 64k of mem check failed. To check RAM.
So went through each slot with one RAM and tried different RAM too to make sure, no difference. So booted up with no RAM in. No beeps but PC just starts then reboots in a loop.
Never got anything on the screen.
Checked all connections, removed all hard drives etc no difference, unplugged USB cables etc so in end just had graphics card, one stick of RAM, CPU and power plugged in. Still two beeps.
Reset CMOS still same, two beeps the reboot loop.
Tried all sticks of RAM in another motherboard and i5 760 and boots fine so its not the RAM.
Can't understand it as it worked fine at one point.
Is my motherboard faulty ?

MSI is right. In the UK you need to get the product replaced through the retailer. You might need to phone Aria in this case.
I've filed an RMA request at the moment and told them what yourselves have said. Just need to wait now.
Didn't want to ring them just yet as there RMA number charges you 60p per minute.
I'll just have to wait and see what happens.

I have continuous problems with my iPad Mini, and it is getting worse! Newstand application keep pausing or crashing, websites keep hanging first time in but then open fine the second time, and I have problems with applictions crashing.

Has the device always behaved this way? Did this start as a result of an update to the iOS software? If the problem is that bad, you should probably restore the iOS software and then restore from a backup. If that fails, restore as new and rebuild the device. If that fails, it's time for a trip to an Apple Store to let them have a look at the iPad.

Did you mean update to iTunes?
Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
When you get it all working make a backup!
Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library, or a backup of it, then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.

My iphone 4 is stuck in a reboot loop and won't stop. Any ideas?

It froze during a message. I went to restart it and it didn't finish restarting, tried again and got a white screen. Now it's stuck in a reboot loop and I can't get it to stop.

First, plug your iPhone into your cpmputer. Then, press and hold the Home+Power buttons for around 10 seconds, then release the power button but continue holding the Home button, until you see a pop up in iTunes. Then, restore your iPhone.

Can't use Glympse the way android and ios can use

I'm on Z10STL100-1/10.2.1.1925 bbm 10.3.3.68. Can't send my location the way android and ios can. When an android or ios user sends me glimpse message I can open it in bbm. But when I send a Glympse message to android or ios then they get a link to glympse.com. Please help.

I bounced a BBM off an iOS contact of mine and it asked if he wanted to follow my location on a map. As far as I can remember, my wife (who has a Z10) had to also click on that message to make my location viewable on a map. I don't see any difference between the two. With neither one are you able to instantly see the sender's location without clicking to open a map.
I'm only going by memory with my wife's Z10 so I might be missing something but I think it works similarly with all platforms.
Cheers.

Has Sun fixed the direct draw and direct X problems?

I have been looking at the bugs and forums lately and have not seen anywhere that Sun has fixed the direct draw and direct X problems. I disabled these options a while back but would like the performance of direct draw back. Here are the flags I am talking about.
System.setProperty("sun.java2d.ddoffscreen", "false");
System.setProperty("sun.java2d.noddraw", "true");
I want my native performance back.
Any news?
Thanks,
Pat

I had that same thing happen on an older system while using a GF2 MX and a NIC card in the top PCI slot. I discovered the AGP and top PCI were "shared" on that mobo. Moving the NIC to another slot resolved the issue.
