Tons of problems with original iphone since 2.0 update
i have the 4gb iphone got it the first week it came out and have not had a problem with it since it came out. I think in the past year i had to restore it twice. Since the 2.0 i have a list of problems.
1. when i turn my phone of it turns it self right back on.
2. The speaker sounds like it is blown it make a bad crackling.
3. I keep getting a message that tells me that my phone is not compatible with this accessory would i like to go in to airplane mode. Even thought nothing is plugged in and with this problem it turn the screen on every couple of min so my battery is dead by mid day.
4. My sound sometimes does not work ex. keyboard or apps.
5. and i have not been able to download apps or from my phone or. i have to delete the app from my phone and reinstall it.
with all these problems i have to restore my phone once our twice a week to get it to work properly. i am at the point of going back to my old phone just so i can have a phone that will work all day.
I tried restoring the iPhone as a new one, but since it wont back up on iTunes in the first place after the restore I get an error stating "the last backup on xx/xx/2008 is corrupt" and had to re-enter all new contacts just like when I first bought the phone. This only happened after the 2.0.2 software update...what the he11 did that update do my phone? I'm almost hoping i can return this phone to get my old one back...which actually worked btw.

IPhone 4 problems? I'm having a ton of problems with my IPhone. Help?
I'm having a ton of problems with my iPhone 4 running iOS 6.1.3. Yesterday, I accidentally added a keyboard shortcut that was extremely long and it screwed up my iPhone. For one, the keyboard section of settings would take forever to open, and when it did open and I tried to delete the shortcut, my phone would restart and when I got back, the shortcut was still there. So I reset my phone. 7 times. And it still didn't work. I finally ended up using find my iPhone to erase it and then it worked. The shortcuts were gone and my phone stopped randomly restarting every 5 minutes. But when I got home, I plugged it into iTunes to get all my music an photos back on. I set it up as a new phone. After it was done syncing, I changed the name to the name of what it was before I reset it for the first time. Then, all of the sudden, it started crashing again. Sure enough, the shortcuts were there again. How do I get my music and photos back on my phone without the keyboard shortcuts being added back on? BTW, my songs are all off of CDs so I can't just re download them from the iTunes Store.
It sounds like you restored it with your backup because the shorcuts were back on there. Restore again, as new without your backup. They sync your media back on.

Hi melvin victor,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
The information below may help you troubleshoot your iPhone battery issue:

Is your iPhone battery draining too quickly or not holding a charge? Try restarting it first. You can also adjust several settings to extend the battery life of your iPhone.
I hope this information helps ....

I updated my iphone 5 to ios7 on Sunday and have been having m?ajor problems with my phone since. It keeps freezing and I have to constantly press the home and on/off switch to get it to restart. I had updated my itunes and backed up the phone before doing the update. I'm getting very frustrated at this stage as the phone is practically useless. Is it worth doing a restore? Bearing in mind that I just tried to do that and got a message to turn off the 'find phone' feature in settings and when I tried to get into settings the phone froze again.
I don't have a good answer for you but reading these forums, it seems that network drives can often cause problems with iTunes like you describe.

I
have a second hand iPhone, now since the new update my text tone which is the Tri-Tone seems to glitch and repeat the first part multiple times very quickly and then carry on every time I receive a text. I'm just wondering if there is anyone else having the same problem or is it just me?Thanks, Sig.
The old computer is a 2.6 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo
The new one is a 2.3 GHz intel core i7
In going over this, thanks to "tallking it out" with you, I did discover the Text Edit problem. Because I've still been unable to get the new computer text size (fonts or whatever) to match the old computer, I did not notice that the curser is now different--the line midway down the curser has to be placed on the line I am working upon, otherwise the edits go elsewhere on the page. Now, with a bit of difficulty, I am able to get Text Edit to work correctly.
If you have any ideas as to why my menu bar and Text Edit type are still so slow, I'd love to have them.
(I went through the process you suggested earlier, re my Trackpad preferences, and found no improvement.) -
I cant open or upate my iphone 4s because its give me message erorr 36, please any one know what dose it mean erorr 36 and who i solve this problem.
Hi mohamed00,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
I recommend following the method below if you are not able to restore your iPhone and see an "error 36:"
Resolve specific iTunes update and restore errors
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3694
Check for hardware issues
Try to restore your iOS device two more times while connected with a cable, computer, and network you know are good. Also, confirm your security software and settings are allowing communication between your device and update servers. If you still see the alert when you update or restore, contact Apple support.
Common errors: 1, 10-47, 1002, 1011, 1012, 1014, 1000-1020.

"error 3194 and have tried all recommended steps, first problem with this iphone"
Hi, for a few months now I've been using my brother's old iPhone 3GS as an iPod, and I haven't jailbreaken it or anything of the sort, and I've installed every update since, and today I installed the newest update and since it has been in recovery mode and whenever I connect it to iTunes and try to restore (I backed up a few days ago) I am greeted with an iTunes message saying "error 3194" and I've tried everything mentioned in the specific update article for it except for the one pertaining to a .ipsw because when I go to advanced settings I am unable to find anything of the sort. And it'd be much appreciated if any of you could help! Also, I am using a windows computer, not a mac, and have never had problems with this iPhone until this new update.
It is usually given as a communication error between Apple, iTunes (your computer), iPhone. Somewhere they are not communicating, so the iOS you are trying to install cannot be approved by Apple. Trouble shooting steps include, making sure you have Current iTunes installed, make sure your Hosts file of computer is not blocking Apple. Try restoring on another computer.

Wifi problems with my iPhone 4S since 6.1.2 update
I thought I had fixed this problem with my iPhone with a change in my home router settings but I did not. Since the 6.1.2 update I have had problems with my wifi connections. I have an Airport Extreme wifi network with multiple airport extremes extending the signal throughout our house. I am only able to communicate with the internet using our wifi network if I am in the same room as the main airport extreme. If I am a room away from any of the routers I get a message that my iPhone "can't join the wireless network". If I am in a room standing near one of the other airport extremes I can join the network, my iPhone will show that I am connected to the wifi network with a full signal but I have no communication with the internet. How I have determined this is by turning cellular off, wifi on & attempted to pull up a web page. When I do this anywhere other than by our main Airport Extreme I get the message that I am not connected to the Internet.
We have multiple other devices on our home wifi network, i.e. other iPhones, iPads, computers, etc. We aren't having this problem with any other of our devices. I am not sure if this is a software corruption issue or a hardware issue. I have not dropped my iPhone or done anything else to it that might have damaged it. I have tried resetting the wireless networks on my iPhone & that has not worked. I have read these boards & have tried the various suggestions, including the one about putting your iPhone in the freezer. (When I told my husband about trying the freezer suggestion he seriously thought I had lost my marbles...)
I would appreciate any other thoughts or suggestions that anyone has.I have a diff issue!!! I has still able to connect to wifi network I had connected before the update to 6.1.2. But few days back when I tried connecting to a new wifi network and it kept saying incorrect password. The worst thing happened after I look up online for help that say try the " reset network setting" solution!! After I did the "reset network setting" step I bloody **** looses all connection to those network I had connected to before the update and I can't get back connection now. *** did apple still allow their users to update a software that has so many bugs. They should had prevent their users from updating right after they know there are bugssssss..!!!!!

I have a problem with my Iphone 4s since I did my first update at your Itunes, the bluetooth and the WiFi it is not workinhg anymore.
It is sad that companies like apple are not able to support thier sofware and business.
I went to a apple store at South Park, Charlotte NC,
and found out the worst customer service (in my case)
They don't have answers and don't understand about "dont let any customer go away sad or mad"
I explain to them that I did everything they said to fix the problem, even to dounload the iOS 6.1.3
that was supposed to fix the problem.
they said fix the problem in other phones but not in mine.
So here I am with no wifi and bluetooth, with apple technicians and experts that don't know what to do with the problem that the sofware they developed cause in my iphone 4s.
and the solution is for me to pay $199.00 US dollars for a problem that I did not cause.
wich means to buy something else from apple to fix a problem that it is not my fault.
Great! what a convenient solution.
I would like to have an answer from you guys and see if someone there have a better answer for me that shows support, values and integrity as a grest company with solutions for your customers.
Dont think that I want a new phone, I want mine fixed if is possible.
Thank you very much and God Bless you!Apple isnt here. this is a user based forum for technical questions. The solution is to restart, reset, and restore as new which is in the manual after that get it replaced for hard ware failure. if your within your one year warranty its replaced if it is out of the warranty then it is 199$

can someone assist me with a solution to the problem with my iphone 5. I upgraded to IOS 6.1.4 and since then i have had the problem of No Sim. I restored to the factory settings using i tunes as i have my back up on my pc but still the same problem. I have swapped sim and my Sim is working on other iphone with ios 6.1.3
Try a new SIM from your carrier. If that doesn't work, make a Genius Bar appointment and get your phone evaluated.

Problems with iTunes Match since 5.1 iPhone update?
Since the most recent iPhone update I've had nothing but problems with my iPhone 4's music player, which I presume are being caused by iTunes Match. The service really was not ready for primetime and has been mostly a headache, but the 5.1 update made it exponentially worse.
I've had the following problems: iTunes on iPhone 4 frequently will not play the songs I select. The track remains at 0:00 and I often have to force quit iTunes to play anything else. The phone frequently skips songs at random and goes on to the next track or another track. Selected songs play as other songs off an album or playlist and do not match up with their cover art. The phone rarely plays more than two songs in a row without encountering some problem.
I've tried restoring the phone, turning iTunes match off and on, and completely disabiling it. When I did that, the phone wouldn't play ANYTHING!
Do you guys have any solutions? I've tried to go to genius bar but there's always a huge line even with appointments and I doubt they'll be helpful.
Thanks!I am having the exact same problems. Most songs not playing, some skipping to the next song, song indexing out of order. Match is becoming a miserable experience..

HT4623 I have a big problem with my IPhone 4 since I've updated to IOS 6.0.1.
I've got a problem with my IPhone 4 since I've updated to IOS 6.0.1. After the call I'd like to end the call but the picture on the screen becomes magnified
so that you cannot see anything and the screen is not reacting. I need to restart the phone. But 7 or 8 times daily to restart the phone is not really convenient.
Has got anybody the same problem? How can I go back to IOS 5 ? Before the update I was a happy user of IPhone.
Thanks for help.Downgrading your ios is unsupported by apple. Go to settings, general, accesibility, zoom off..?

Can anyone, help me please?
I have a problem with my iphone 4 Facetime, that since the new ios 7 system has been installed, I cannot use the FACETime? I don't know where to turn? I have contacted a retailer here in Isreal, and I've contacted the Cell come company and I've contacted the repair shop... each one pushes me off on someone else.
I cannot make any FACETIME calls.... anywhere................ helpHmm, I see from the Apple Support webpage it seems you cannot call them directly from Israel, that's not good.
Okay, so FaceTime stopped working once you upgraded to iOS 7 is that the situation? It doesn't work over either cellular or WiFi networks? I assume you have checked the Settings>FaceTime>FaceTime switch is on and that you have your correct Apple ID in there as well?
What happens when you launch the FaceTime app and attempt to make a FaceTime call, what message(s) do you get? -
