Weird stuff going on with my iPhone 4: losing settings, "set up your phone"
I've had the iPhone since the 3G unit including the 3GS. I've had my iPhone 4 since 6/24 and all of a sudden in the last couple of days, I've been experiencing some weirdness I have never seen before in my iPhones.
A couple of days ago, I noticed that the battery percent meter was simply turned off. I did NOT turn it off. It was just simply off now.
Today, I synced my iPhone to iTunes 9.2 at home and the sync went fine. I realized right after the sync that I had purchased some music and didn't "Transfer purchases" (don't ya just hate remembering you forgot to do something just AFTER you unplug your iPhone! ).
Anyway, I unplugged and plugged it back in. iTunes now showed a "Set Up Your Phone" screen and offered to restore a backup. Huh?! The weird thing is that the name of my iPhone 4 showed up correct in the device list AND iTunes was wanting to restore a backup of the same name.
sigh
I rebooted my Windows 7 64-bit PC and tried it all again. Same results. I then thought, I wonder if rebooting the iPhone 4 will fix the issue. I tried that. Same results.
sigh
Okay, I guess I'll let it restore the backup. I just went through that (takes about 7 minutes) and things are great now.
Is that weird or what?! Never seen anything like that before. Is my iPhone 4 going bad?
Weird. Weird. Weird.

I have a new email address. Changed this on my itunes account. On iPhone deleted old icloud account and created new with new email. I have set find my phone to on. When I download music from itunes it no longer goes to icloud an does not show up on my iphone.
I have the same problem - it is maddening. I rely on this iPad for work so this is not just an annoyance! The above solutions of changing the appleid on the device or on the website do not work.
The old email address no longer exists - I haven't used it in a year probably and I no longer have the account. I logged into the appleid website and there is no trace of the old email address so there is nothing that can be deleted or changed there. On the iPad there is no trace of the old email address so nothing can be deleted there either. I have updated the iPad software and the same problem comes right back. Every 2 seconds I am asked to log in using the old non-existent email. The device is currently useless.
The only recent change to anything was the addition of an Apple TV device, which was set up using the correct login and password.
Does anyone have any ideas? The iPad has been backed up to the iCloud so presumably it now won't recognize the current iCloud account? So restoring may notbe an option? -
Is there an issue going on with the iPhones? And iPads? I cannot send text pics. I can't get on Facebook, and I can't get on anything that uses Facebook ex Slotomania. This has been going on for a few days!!! It is happening with and without upgrades.
Contact facebook to address the facebook issues.

Something weird is going on with Compressor 4 Version 185673
Something weird is going on with Compressor 4 (v185673).
I've just completed a 1.5hr edit in FCP X (v10.0.1) and chose to send it to compressor so I can encode my MPEG-2 files.
It takes approximately 5min for compressor to open and show the job to start with!
I then drag the MPEG-2 preset and click on it, the spinning ball comes up and takes approximately 10min before compressor reacts...!
Wondering if anyone else is having the same experiencing? -
Some weird stuff going on after I deleted var/folders
I saw my var/folders was taking up around 7GB and my poor 55 GB MacBook Air was suffering because of it, so I decided to delete. Some weird stuff going on now. Icons for apps are acting up. I restarted my computer after that. Before I deleted I put it on my 500GB external hard drive. Any tips? Should I have done this? Any negative repurcussions because I did that?
Any help is appretiated, and thank you!I fixed it on my own if you wish to know a detailed story of how I did it, comment. Also, know that I don't come here too often but I'll recieve an E-mail so I guess I'll answer anything

In iCloud you have the ability to NOT format phone numbers of contacts; this ability is not available on the contacts of iPhone. If I set-up a phone number in iCloud with NO parenthesis, ex. 123- 456-7899, then this format should be available on the iPhone contact.
That is correct is doesn't. Standardized formatting of phone numbers in the iOS app is more important because it supports contact from a variety of locations (gmail, hotmail, etc.). iCloud doesn't (not directly).

Weird things going on with Iphone
I updated to the most recent software the other day, it may be coincidence but now strange things have started to occur. Now it automaticlally goes into voice and sometimes starts to call people, it also will not charge and the home button barely works, it is now completely dead and will not recharge.
You're welcome.
I also got the double banner, and the website looks different and how it is designed when accessed with Safari on my Mac. Not sure why it is doubled with some iPhones and not others. -
Weird thing going on with Expose and Dock
Weird things have been going on with my Macbook Pro. It's been like this for several months and it's very annoying. What happened was that at some point during using computer, the dock and the expose will go on doing strange stuff together, for the dock, it's the magnification not working properly, when i move my mouse over any application icon, the magnification didn't come up, but if I click on it it will, however, after having clicked on the icon it will not doing the jump motion like it usually does, what it does is that it's going to stay being magnified, even if i point the mouse elsewhere. That's the dock. The problem with the expose is with the all window view, where when i turn it on everything seems to be normal, but if i move my mouse around, anywhere, each window that has been shown in the "all window" view will keep flashing until i dont move my mouse again. And that's the expose problem. Two other problems that occur along with the annoying issue mentioned earlier is that say when you click on the apple icon on the top, usually when you move down along there will be a blue stripe as a background to the words like "About this mac", "System preferences" etc, but when the problem occurs it will not do that. And if you have any window opened that has a scroll for horizontally, it'll keep forcing me to the right hand side of the bar, even if i drag it to the left it'll still go straight to the right hand side automatically. These are the problems that log-out-then-log-in won't resolve, needs to be restarted, i cannot work under this kind of situation, and it's getting really frustrating although i really like my mac still. I'm not sure when it started to do this, one time i thought maybe an application like p2p may disrupt the system so one time i only had calendar, itunes working still it happened again. I have a macbook pro A1226, has been updated to 10.5 and went through all the software update already... still... Does anyone have have the similar or maybe exact same problem as I do here? Please let me know. If you know how to fix it even better, I'd appreciate that. Thanks.

When I take a video with my iPhone 5, it plays back great on my phone. However, when I upload to my computer it plays back extremely slow, or the image freezes while the audio keeps going. I've tried Windows Media Player, Quicktime, VLC media player, and they are all updated. So is my computer software. I never had this problem with my previous iPhone 3Gs. This is very annoying, help!!

Good ev Ning Mario49 firstly I would like to say a great thank you for your attention to trying to help me,,,,, i have looked at the links and will try everything stated first thing…
Hi Mario,,,,
I tried everything in your reply,,, thank you again,, I had done that once before and all was working great,,
I have just now tried the Reinstall via iTunes, about 20 into the download, the iTunes logo on the phone disappeared, and the Apple Logo appeared again,,, I waited until the iTunes stated that the download had finished, and the install was in progress,,,
Nothing happened, still the Apple Logo was visual on the screen, iTunes never recognised the phone which it was on my iTunes account previously,,,
Still just a bunch of lines, maybe 5 or 6 so small writing,, I personally can not read what it is telling me, someone said it reads, incorrect shutdown,,,????????
Please advise,???
I am now at a loss,,, I really became excited when I saw the iTunes icon after putting the phone into restore,,,???
Thank you again

IPhone 2G- users, how long did your phone last?
I just got a 3G iPhone and I'm wondering if my phone will last the whole 2 year contract I have with AT&T... and hopefully longer when I renew my contract (so I don't have to buy a new iPhone)..
How many of you still use your original 2G iPhone for over a year+, and still no issues? (like dead pixels, or dead spots on the screen)
For those who do have issues, how long did it take for those issues to pop up? 6 months? 1 year? 2 years?Mine is still gong strong after more than a year.

Itunes iPhone page stuck at "Set Up Your iPhone" after recovery of backup
So I tried doing the update, which it failed, and then I had to recover it, which took forever. Anyways everything went all fine and what not, then it asked me to Set up as a new phone, or recover from back up. I did it once, it was fine, when it re-recognized the phone on the iphone, it shows up as my original name on the left hand side above my playlists and everything, but its stuck on that Set Up your iPhone, which means it won't sync and I cant view whats actually on the iPhone. It just continually asks me if i want to restore from the back up or set up as new phone.
I guess i should be glad that I was able to restore, but yeah... I have a new iPhone 16 gb if that matters.I don't think that I am having the same issue...but a similar issue. Maybe someone can tell me otherwise.
Problem...my iPhone apps started to not work. They would open and then just close themselves.
I decided maybe I should restore my iPhone to fix the problem. I backed up my iPhone and did a restore.
Now When I plug my iPhone into my iMac, iTunes recognizes the iPhone is plugged in, however it brings up Set Up Your iPhone with two options, set up as a new iPhone, and Restore from the backup of...
HOWEVER, there is no button to start this sequence of events that would allow me to sync my iPhone.
This is very frustrating. -
What is going on with my iPhone 5s touch screen?!
I bought my iPhone 5s in November of 2013. I've loved it so far, until about a month ago when I noticed a major problem. When I type on the keyboard vertically (haven't tried horizontal) different parts of my screen start being activated. For example, the amount of times I've been texting someone and end up sending a FaceTime request (so activating the top right corner) is ridiculous. I even tried posing this question originally off of my phone (why I thought that was smart, I'll never know), and I found myself typing in the question tab or refreshing the page or typing in the middle of random words every single time. I notice it very badly in iMessage, but I've also seen it happen on Facebook as well. There are times when I even find myself three pages back from where I was at first, because of typing/touching. Basically, I have no idea what's going on. Some days seem better than others, and other times I can barely send out a message to someone. It certainly helps when I slow down the pace of typing (I thought maybe hitting 'blank' parts in between keys was causing it), but alas this only helps mildly, and sometimes not at all. I also don't believe I see this touching error outside of typing (however, this could be because I don't notice it as overtly). It seems like if I was capable of recalibrating the touch screen, that would help. But the iPhone doesn't come with a recalibrating option other than wiping the phone. I'm just at a loss as to how typing the bottom half of my screen sends signals to the top half. Am I the only one facing this? Or does anyone have any remote clue as to what could be going on/can be done to stop this? Obviously, it's very inconvenient in my life.
What troubleshooting steps have you taken so far?
Restart?
Reset?
Reset All Settings?
Restore From Backup?
Restore As New?
