Why does iMessage and facetime keep going down?

I use it everyday however around about the early morning/ late at night it stops working.

I downloaded an app called texttones and then I tried uploading a song from my library so I chose a song, and then hit save, after that an error message came up about the hardware and the signal went down from there (as n dropped from 4 to 3 and below bars). The page for the app is gone now and has something different in its place. Maybe some adware slipped through he app store? Not sure if I got infected from the app or maybe some ad popped up and made me download it thinking it was real and not the actual app.

Why does my phone signal keep going down?

I installed an app called texttones and after that my signal started weakening, I had a message come up about my hardware but I don't remember what it said exactly I don't want to have to reinstall it to read the message because after installing my signal bars went from 4 to 5 to 3 and below. What could be causing this. It keeps dropping even though I'm not moving. When I hit the end button on a call it goes back to one bar, it wasn't like this before. This hasn't happened before I got this phone a few days ago. I already tried resetting network, but its still the same. What should I do?

I'm pretty much exactly on the opposite side of the planet, but I've been to Vermont and remember its rural beauty well. However, I can't imagine you having the only Internet connection within a reasonable radius (where "neighbors" hanging off the same ISP don't count). Uh, that note only if your wired connection to the router produces no good result, either...

HT4623 Why the volume of iPhone keeps going down without any button being pushed

The volume of my iPhone keeps going down without any button being pushed, why?

Hello there Saber7,
If I understand correctly, the phone seems to think the phones volume up is constantly being pressedbut the button still clicks when you press it. This should be easy to isolate to hardware or software, so I would start by quitting all the apps that are running on the phone:
iOS: Force an app to close
Double-click the Home button.
Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
Swipe the app up to close it.
When you have done that reset the device and test the issue again:
iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting

Why does my 4s volume keeps going up by itself?

Hi. Thanks for your advice in advance! For the past 4 weeks, the volume of my 4s keeps going up on its own and then the volume screen doesn't disappear. It's really hard to manage texting/talking with this annoying issue. Has anyone had this same issue? Would apprecite some feedback. Thanks!

I had the same issue but on my iPhone 4S the volume keeps going down on its own and then goes on mute which really frustrates me. I can't believe you have the same problem.
@pogster Well,I already tried resetting all the settings and nothing changed.
I'm sure there is something wrong with the Hardware,software is not related to this issue.
I think something is repeatedly pressing the volume button and its going down or up.
A way to avoid this is to stop pressing the volume buttons from now on,thats what I did. Increase the volume from the screen not from the volume buttons and visit the closest Apple Store to help you with this.

Why does my iphone 5 keep going into restore mode? i had to restore it because it wouldn't let me do anything else and it goes into this mode at least once a day now.

My iPhone5 went into restore mode. I restored it and now it goes into restore mode at least once a day.

Restore as new. If the issue persists, take the device to Apple for evaluation.

HT1515 why does my airport express keep going offline?

i use airport for air play but it keeps going into flashing amber light about every week. why?

I found on some non-Apple tech sites some interesting info. One guy was having the same exact issues and wrote a script to see what was going on between the Airport base station and the Airport Expresses. It appears that the two devices were having security verification issues and that is why the Airport Expresses get getting knocked offline. In other words, when they talk with each other they fail the security verification and the Airport Expresses go haywire.
So the solution is to turn off the security on both the Airport base station and the Airport Expresses through the Airport Utility. Then, on the Airport base station you check the option to create a closed network. In other words, your wi-fi network is now unprotected but it is not broadcasting to anyone that it is there. From then on, you will have to choose "other" on your laptops/iPads/iPhones/etc and type in your wi-fi network's name rather than just choosing your wi-fi network from a list of options.
I did this a few weeks back and I have had zero issues since the very moment I did the above steps. The network is 100% reliable and faster. No more rebooting. Is it a tad bit unprotected? Yes, but no one knows the network is there. If someone is smart enough to be looking for non-broadcasting wi-fi networks and finding yours, then they are sophisticated enough to defeat your normal security protocols anyway. Maybe if Apple ever decides to fix this problem, which appears they might not be interested in doing, then you could go back to normal security protocols. But until then, this works wonderfully. Give it a try and see.
