  • TS3274 My iPad keeps closing out of apps ...

    My iPad keeps closing out of apps, wouldnt let me delete email..is my memory too full.

    Did you try either of these?
    Quit all apps completely and restart the iPad. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the task bar will appear with all of your recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar. Restart the iPad.
    Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
    What do you mean it wouldn't let you delete your mail? Is the mail app crashing? You can swipe across the email in the preview window in order to delete it. You do not have to open the email in order to delete it.

  • What do i do when my phone keeps restarting but wont fully turn back on

    my phone just shut off and i dont know what to do. it keeps restarting but it wont fully turn on.

    This is something where iPhone tools written by the jail break community could actually come in handy to self-fix your phone's issues.  The primary thing to realize though is that Apple may be able to help with the problem themselves.
    I don't personally jail break anymore, as I have no need to now, but I have experience with some of the tools out there.  If you are having this issue and your phone was jail broken, then you might want to deal with it yourself rather than taking it to Apple.  In many cases, it's totally solvable without too much trouble, and most likely you keep everything on it too.  Before I go into details on that solution, let me exhaust the Apple support logic.
    If your phone isn't jail broken, then Apple is going to be more cooperative in helping resolve this.  If it isn't under warranty anymore, then that is a possible coin-toss.  If it's not under warranty, but you purchased AppleCare+, then you might have a real good chance.  Either way, you might just take it into an Apple store (you can make a reservation ahead of time), then explain the problem to them and see what they do.  If it is under warranty and not jail broken, then they're absolutely going to find a way to make it right for you.
    So the final logic boils down to whether you don't have it under warranty and Apple won't help, or you have jail broken it, or you just feel brave and want to try fixing it on your own.  I'm not sure if I can mention specific tools here on the forum or not, but you should be able to easily google the tools which have Exit recovery, and Fix recovery as actions you can perform to try to fix the phone.  Both of these may require that you know how to put your phone into DFU (device firmware update) mode, which is another thing you can easily search for.  The tool I'm talking about may have a name that refers to a collapsible portable covering used in rain that may or may not happen to be some form of very small.  I think one should be able to catch the reference here without me totally naming that tool.
    I have used said tool myself in the past and it worked great on several occasions where my previous phones acted up.  Having said that, I think Apple would appreciate me reminding you that they do not condone the use of such programs or tools which they have not authorized.
    Good luck!

  • HT1766 what do i do when my phone is locked and it says to connect to itunes?

    what do i do when my phone is locked and it says to connect to itunes?

    If You Are Locked Out Or Have Forgotten Your Passcode
    iTunes 10 for Mac- Update and restore software on iPod, iPhone, or iPad
    iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
    iOS- Understanding passcodes
         If you have forgotten your Restrictions code, then follow the instructions
         below but DO NOT restore any previous backup. If you do then you will
         simply be restoring the old Restrictions code you have forgotten. This
         same warning applies if you need to restore a clean system.
    A Complete Guide to Restore or Recover Your iDevice (if You Forget Your Passcode)
    If you need to restore your device or ff you cannot remember the passcode, then you will need to restore your device using the computer with which you last synced it. This allows you to reset your passcode and re-sync the data from the device (or restore from a backup). If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present. Refer to Updating and restoring iPhone, iPad and iPod touch software.
    Try restoring the iOS device if backing up and erasing all content and settings doesn't resolve the issue. Using iTunes to restore iOS devices is part of standard isolation troubleshooting. Restoring your device will delete all data and content, including songs, videos, contacts, photos, and calendar information, and will restore all settings to their factory condition.
    Before restoring your iOS device, Apple recommends that you either sync with iTunes to transfer any purchases you have made, or back up new data (data acquired after your last sync). If you have movie rentals on the device, see iTunes Store movie rental usage rights in the United States before restoring.
    Follow these steps to restore your device:
         1. Verify that you are using the latest version of iTunes before attempting to update.
         2. Connect your device to your computer.
         3. Select your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch when it appears in iTunes under Devices.
         4. Select the Summary tab.
         5. Select the Restore option.
         6. When prompted to back up your settings before restoring, select the Back Up
             option (see in the image below). If you have just backed up the device, it is not
             necessary to create another.
         7. Select the Restore option when iTunes prompts you (as long as you've backed up,
             you should not have to worry about restoring your iOS device).
         8. When the restore process has completed, the device restarts and displays the Apple
             logo while starting up:
               After a restore, the iOS device displays the "Connect to iTunes" screen. For updating
              to iOS 5 or later, follow the steps in the iOS Setup Assistant. For earlier versions of
              iOS, keep your device connected until the "Connect to iTunes" screen goes away or
              you see "iPhone is activated."
         9. The final step is to restore your device from a previous backup.
    If you can not restore your device then you will need to go to recovery mode.
    Placing your device into recovery mode:
    Follow these steps to place your iOS device into recovery mode. If your iOS device is already in recovery mode, you can proceed immediately to step 6.
         1. Disconnect the USB cable from the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, but leave the other end
             of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
         2. Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the
             red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.
              If you cannot turn off the device using the slider, press and hold the Sleep/Wake
              and Home buttons at the same time. When the device turns off, release the Sleep/Wake
              and Home buttons.
         3. While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device.
             The device should turn on. Note: If you see the screen pictured below, let the device
             charge for at least ten minutes to ensure that the battery has some charge, and then
             start with step 2 again.
         4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen.
             When this screen appears you can release the Home button.
         5. If necessary, open iTunes. You should see the following "recovery mode" alert:
         6. Use iTunes to restore the device.
    If you don't see the "Connect to iTunes" screen, try these steps again. If you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen but the device does not appear in iTunes, see this article and its related links.
    Additional Information:
    Note: When using recovery mode, you can only restore the device. All user content on the device will be erased, but if you had previously synced with iTunes on this computer, you can restore from a previous backup. See this article for more information.

    I, too, love everything about my phone. The other day I tried to crash my Z10 by running multiple apps and having videos running in the background. Do you think my Z10 showed any signs of slowing down? Nothing doing! It ran as smooth as silk. I'm very impressed.
    Cheers.

  • After installing ios8 phone keep getting hanged. Apps are closed automatically

    Many bugs are there in ios8 update.
    After installing ios8 phone keep getting hanged. Apps are closed automatically

    ios8 for my iphone 5 = crashes, hot phone, restarts, dropped calls, funny looking fuzzy 'senior picture screen' with frost on the perimeter.....  Just opening 'message' for texts takes 3-4 seconds to load, where previously, it was milliseconds latency speeds.  I think they pressed this OS beyond the reasonable functional limit of the hardware (phones), especially with the older phones and/or phones with less memory.
    It's like an athlete on steroids, the bones can't handle the force of the muscles and something is gonna BREAK!
    When did we ever come to think that $400 phones would become 2-4 year disposable items and revere at the glory of it all!  And whether we realize it or not, it's being shoved down our throats.
    Just fix the OS please so my phone can work for me as it has in the past.
        For the $$ being paid out, we shouldn't have to reset, restart, restore......

    what do i do if the phone locks me out due to using the wrong password?

    Do you mean the lock screen? If you have forgotten the password you have to restore the device and delete everything. Before you say "that's dumb, apple!" be happy it's not possible to hack because if someone stealsyourphone at least they can't hack it.

  • How do i stop my iphne 5s from deleting text messages and closing out of apps when i open them?

    My phone keeps deleting text messages before I can even read them or they don't come through at all.  My phone also closes out of apps as soon as I click on them. does anyone know what I can do to fix these problems?

    I have tried that and it doesn't work for me. I can set everything up, but then it won't get mail. At all.. Says server isn't responding. My issue with imap is that it won't create copies like POP does. It downloads directly from the server. So whoever is reading my email (my husband) on his phone, if he deletes it, then it's deleted from my phone, or email client as well. It's a sticky business. Any suggestions?
    IMAP is not good for a shared email account for this very reason (but is great for a single reader who uses many devices for access). The best suggestion I have is to create separate email accounts, if possible. Otherwise, you'll both really have to be conscientious about not deleting emails.
