Why do my home screen messages keep disappearing (SMS, missed calls, etc.)?

My messages, all others beside e-mail, because I haven't even set it up, just keep disappearing. I have the home screen theme that shows messages, calendar, call log and applications. The messages section shows me when I have a missed call or a text or anything like that....but for some reason, I go back to my phone and I can't see who has called or texted. The home screen messages section is empty, and if I select it and go to my messages app., there are only 3 listed and 2 are from Blackberry on Apr. 25 and Jul. 30, and only one shows up from my boss on Aug. 5. The only reason I can even imagine that still shows up is because she too has a blackberry. I don't know, but, it's really starting to aggravate the crap out of me. Anyone know how to help?
I've gone to messages General Options and made sure that all calls are sent to messages and the call log.
Oh, yeah! The Call Log doesn't hold anything either. It's ridiculous!
Please help because I like this phone, but, it's not doing its job to the fullest, and that's disappointing.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

this has been asked before and solved.. you have a memory issue.. you need to have at least 12 mb of free space for the phone to operate smothly.. if you havent got one yet get a memory card and move your pics and videos to memory card. along with any downloaded ringtones.. to find out what your file free status is click on options --> status and see what your file free is..another thing that might help is do a battery pull then do above step.. also make sure you dont have any internet programs running in background IE: weatherbug.. cause it continuously downloads data.. clear your browser history by going to an open browser clicking menu then options then cache and clear your history.. there are other steps to help but i cant think of any at the moment..

Why do my messages keep disappearing from Notification Centre?

I've only noticed this since upgrading to iOS 7.1 and I can't find any answers anywhere on the Internet. As the title states: why do my messages keep disappearing from Notification Centre? Usually after an hour or two. The badge on the app icon will stay and if I get another message, the new one shows up in Notification Centre, again just for a while.

Salvizuno -
did you ever solve this problem? i just upgraded to the 5s and my notifications disappear... and it is very frustrating. i have called apple support, gone to the apple store, swapped out my phone but with no luck... can you advise if and how you fixed the problem please?
thanks!

Why do my text messages keep disappearing in IOS 5 on my 3GS?

I have an iPhone 3GS that i have updated to IOS 5 and lost all my old text messages that i had kept from 2007 which really annoyed me but what is even more annoying is that my current messages keep disappearing. If i am in an app and get a notification saying i have recieved a text and click on the notification the new text message isn't in my inbox. This keeps happening and it is getting rather annoying because i can't reply to people as i can't read their original message.
Any ideos how i can fix this...

For some reason iphone can only store 15MB of text messages (75,000), if you have that much already it is full and you won't be able to receive incoming text message until you free some space. If all that text message is important to you then I'd find a way to transfer those into your computer by using a third party program (google it). Or just take a screenshot of all your text messages and e-mail them to your computer.

Why is the home screen laid out the way it is?

Why is the home screen (ios 7 on iPhone 5 shown) laid out the way it is? Given Apple's attention to detail, there has to be a reason.

I'm sorry, but I don't understand your question. What part of how it is set up seems to be the problem, the arrangement of the icons, colors, etc.? You do know that you can arrange the screen in any way that you want, moving icons around, moving them to other pages, etc.

Mail messages keep disappearing

I bought my mac about a month ago and am confounded by the mail program. Seems messages keep disappearing from my inbox and also from my sent items. This morning I sent a message that I needed to call up again but it had disappeared. I've searched everywhere for answers to this but can't figure out what's happening. Can someone help?
Thanks

Since you are accessing two accounts with Mail, there is an Inbox mailbox for each account and the same for Drafts, Sent, Trash and Junk when Junk Mail is set to automatic.
Open Inbox be selecting the black triangle beside it pointing it down to reveal the Inbox mailbox for each account. Selecting an account's Inbox mailbox reveals messages received by that account only in the message list. Selecting Inbox reveals a "blended" Inbox mailbox for all accounts in the message list.
The same applies to Drafts, Sent, Trash and Junk (when Junk Mail is set to automatic) in the mailboxes drawer.
Since you are accessing an IMAP account with Mail, there is also an account named icon for the IMAP account at the bottom of the mailboxes drawer. This includes the server stored mailboxes for the account with the exception of the account's Inbox mailbox which is located under Inbox in the mailboxes drawer. Regardless the account type, the Inbox mailbox for each account is located under Inbox.
So now, which account is missing messages - the POP account or the IMAP account and from which mailbox - the account's Inbox mailbox, Sent mailbox or both?
Are you storing sent messages on the server for your IMAP account which is available under the Mailbox Behaviors tab for the account preferences?
There is no setting to remove messages from the server with an IMAP account. Mail is keeping the server stored mailboxes synchronized with the server.
In order to create a separate account in Mail provided by the same provider, the account must be an actual account which means the account has its own user name. An additional email address that shares the same user name, incoming mail server and password as a primary email account is called an alias and you cannot create an alias address as a separate account in Mail due to the account and associated mailbox filing structure at the Finder level.
To add a alias email address to the primary account, go to Mail > Preferences > Accounts and under the Account information tab for the account preferences at the Email Address field, add the alias email address in this field separated by a comma from the primary account's email address. Save the changes when prompted.
All messages addressed to the alias address will be deposited in the primary account's Inbox mailbox and when wanting to send a message with the alias email address, select the address via the Account selection pop-up when composing a message.

My iphone 5 get stuck in locked screen when two or more missed calls or messages shown on locked screen list

My iphone 5 get stuck in locked screen when two or more missed calls or messages shown on locked screen list

Hi bhagath1339,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
The first troubleshooting steps I would recommend in this situation would be restarting and if the issue continues, resetting the iPhone.
Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
If the issue continues after restarting and resetting, it may be necessary to restore your iPhone to isolate software versus hardware. Please follow the attached article if you need assistance restoring the device.
Use iTunes to restore your iOS device to factory settings
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414
Have a great day,
Joe

Email notification while screen is locked similar to missed calls and SMS

Hi
I would like to know if anyone has found a way to have the iphone notify its user that emails are waiting for them to read on the locked screen similar to the way missed calls and SMS messages pop up when received.
If not - can someone at Apple please come up with a way to do this? I don't like having to unlock the phone to check to see if new emails are waiting for me.
Thanks,
Oliver

There is not a way since this is not an option with the iPhone. You can have the new mail sound and vibrate enabled for when a new message is received.
You can use this link to provide Apple feedback.

In iOS 7 you can still make calls from the locked screen. Just swipe the missed call numbers to the right. Is this a bug?

How is it a security breach? You're free to turn off lock screen notifications for the phone app so that no one can do that.... even if they can, they can only call the number that called you... nothing else. (well, except for 900 or whatever the emergency services number is where you are, but that's required by law).

My iphone doesn't ring when it's unlocked .. i have calls but the screen still black and when i slide to unlock the screen i found i had missed calls

My iphone doesn't ring when it's unlocked .. i have calls but the screen still black and when i slide to unlock the screen i found i had missed calls
i have tried manythings but it doesn't work
i put it in silent mode and i found my calls comes normaly and it works good but when i turn on ring mode it's back as it how can i fix that ?!

Basic troubleshooting steps outlined in the user guide are restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as new device. Try each of these steps until your problem is solved. If these steps fail to solve your issue, then you'll need to bring your phone into Apple (or an authorized service provider in your area) for evaluation.

Why do my recent phone contacts keep disappearing and re-appearing?

I recently bought an iPhone 4S and synced my contacts from my previous smart phone.
Now, the contacts I add get saved, but they keep disappearing and re-appearing automatically. This has been happening for almost a month now.
It is very embarassing when my new Manager calls up and I ask who he is.
Please help.

So after the subscriptions disappeared yesterday, I resubscribed to Democracy Now! and Bill Moyers Journal.
This morning, I went to check iTunes... and two of the subscriptions were gone -- AGAIN! And the episode of Democracy Now! that remained behind was now listed under real Tim with Bill Maher.
I'm getting so frustrated with this... why am I having to re-subscribe to podcasts every day now?

Why does my home screen icons automatically get bigger

As soon as I turn my iPhone 4s on the home screen icons increase in size automatically and then I am unable to use the bottom of the screen on the home screen and on many apps. Any way to stop it from doing this? Thank you

I wanted to also mention that I have gone to Accessibility and made it where it does not zoom with the three finger tap. That does not fix my problem, but I will say I have to have this feature turned on in order to use the bottom row of my keyboard. I am able to get to the characters/letters that I need if I zoom in. That and flipping my screen to landscape are the only things that have allowed my phone to function until I can upgrade.

Why is my home screen displayed in black for google vs white?

My google home screen when I launch firefox is now black. It shows everything but the background is black vs white? How do I change it back?

Hi pt1099,
This isn't actually a Firefox issue specifically, it's a Google thing. Did it just start today? Are you talking about the SOPA protest?
http://abcnews.go.com/blogs/technology/2012/01/sopa-blackout-wikipedia-google-wired-join-protest-against-internet-censorship/
If not, it may just be a background preference for your Google homepage. You can click on change background in the lower left side of the screen.

Why are my home screens not showing on Itunes

I've upgraded both my Itunes and also my Iphone today.
When I try to view my home screens in Itunes they are not showing. Instead all I get is a blank screen where the home screen should be.
I have tried resetting my computer to see if this sorted the problem but this has not cured anything.
Suggestions??

I have exactly the same problem. I upgraded i tunes and i phone 4s (to IOS7) and now can no longer see my home screens. I wish I had never upgraded to IOS7, Hopefully Apple will fix this sooner than later

Black screen. how can i retrieve missed calls?

untill i replace this phone with a black screen if i miss a call i can't tell who it was.
any idea how i can retrieve the list of 'missed calls' ?

Thanks for your suggestions budone!
Hi mike b,
I know how important it is to identify missed calls. Unfortunately, when a call is not answered a connection is not made with our towers. Which means we would not have any record of an unanswered call. I would definitely encourage you to implement of budone's suggestions until you are able to replace your phone. In the interim please let me know if you have any additional questions or concerns.
