Touch screen has frozen, what can I do?

Hi everything has been fine with my phone all day then when I tried to reply to a txt it had frozen on the lock screen. The touch screen isn't working and not letting me swipe to unlock or turn phone off. Any ideas what I can do to fix this?

Try resetting your phone: Press the Sleep/Wake button & Home button at the same time, keep pressing until you see the Apple logo, then release.

    Try to reboot it. Hold down the sleep and home keys until you see the silver apple, about 20 seconds or so. It should reboot and work for you.

  • Ipad2 touch screen has frozen and none of the apps will open. I can't do a shut down to reboot?

    My Ipad2 touch screen has frozen and none of the apps will open. I can't do a shut down to reboot?

    Sorry, darned auto correct. Sleep and home. The home is the button on the front of your iPad. The sleep button is also the power down button. It's on the upper right edge of your iPad.
    My apologies for the typo. My keyboard is charging and the onscreen keyboard and I don't get along well.

  • My email screen has frozen what to do to fix

    Hi can anyone help me please? My email screen has frozen so can't move the page up or down to read content. Can't access any other emails from the open page however I can go to notifications at top of page to open a new email but then same thing...screen frozen and I can't scroll up or down. Help!

    Try closing the Mail app via the multitasking bar and see if it works when you re-open the app :
    iOS 6 and below : 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.
    iOS 7 : doubleclick the home button to open the bar, then swipe or drag up the Mail app from there and off the top of the screen
    If that doesn't fix it then try 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.

  • The touch screen has frozen and is unresponsive.

    The touch screen has frozen and is unresponsive. I tried synching it to my Mac, updating it, dumping my apps and resetting as new, as the tech support guy at Apple suggested, but it still does not work. Now what? Sadly, my warrenty has expired.

    Frozen as on a particular image?
    If so you might want to try a hard power down (if you haven't already).
    I'm sure there are some better people to actually answer your direct question, other than me.
    Sorry

    Hard Reset (Home Button and Sleep/Wake simultaneously for 10-15 seconds).
    If you're trying to download music on the phone check purchase history on iTunes before re-downloading because you dont wanna be double charged.

  • My ipod touch has frozen what can i do

    I jusr got ipod touch for xmas and it has frozen any ideas on what to do will not even switch off...

    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.
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • Frozen ipad2! My apps folders page has frozen, what can I do?

    My apps folder page has frozen. I can select from the other pages and get on the Internet from the same page, but can't select any folders. Any ideas?!

    Do you mean in Safari ? If so try clearing its cache : Settings > Safari > Clear Cache (and Clear History)
    If that doesn't work then try closing Safari completely and then re-open it : from the home screen (i.e. not with Safari '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 Safari app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
    A third option is 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.

  • My ipod touch screen is faulty what can i do?

    I cannot find my receipt, but ive had my ipod for 1 year,what can I do?
    I spent $300 to buy it, and Inever expected the screen to go all fuzy. I am rather dissapointed apple!

    If the screen is faulty because of a defect and not because of abuse like dropping the iPod and breaking the screen, Apple will exchange it at no cost if still under warranty. To check you warranty enter the iPod's SN here:
    Apple - Support - Check Your Service and Support Coverage
    Otherwise
    Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for this price. They do not fix yours.
    Apple - iPod Repair price
    A third-party place like the following maybe less. Google for more.
