Why does my iphone 4 keep needing to be restored

I have tried all the solutions and none of them have worked, Iv'e been told it could be the batterty so I've installed a new one but that still hasn't fixed the problem, now I'm completely stuck on what the problem is and how I can fix it? Can anyone help please?

Try a Restore...
1: Connect the device to Your computer and open iTunes.
2: If the device appears in iTunes, select and click Restore on the Summary pane.

  • HT5868 why does my iphone KEEP asking if I trust this computer? I thought it was a onetime thing per computer?

    Why does my iPhone KEEP asking if I trust this computer? I thought it was a onetime thing per computer? I plug my iPhone 4s into the computer and every time I tell it to trust this computer, but a hour later if I plug in again, I have to say trust again... bug? Setting issue? Help?

    This helped me. Fix #1 is something Apple doesn't ever suggest to you.
    My specific problem was somehow my Apple Mobile Device USB Driver got turned off and moved and maybe even uninstalled, but after hours of struggling, this site helped tremendously.
    Furthermore, I could connect my iPhone to my computer but not into iTunes. It would only let me go to access pictures on my iPhone and that's all.
    Best of luck to anyone trying to figure out their problem.

  • Why does my iphone keep turning off when i put my pass code in

    why does my iphone keep turning off when i put my pass code in

    Hi ManiPictures,
    If your iPhone shuts down unexpectedly during use, I would suggest that you troubleshoot using the steps in this article - 
    If your iOS device restarts, displays the Apple logo, or powers off while you're using it - Apple Support
    As your iPhone's operating system is already up to date with iOS 8.1.1, follow the last instruction - 
    If you still see this issue after updating, contact Apple Support.
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Best,

  • Why does my iphone keep increasing the volume?

    Why does my iphone keep increasing the volume? it isn't the buttons and i keep trying to fight it and keeps increasing... Any advise, i seem to be the only one having this problem. The phone just keeps increasing volume by itself and can't do anything about it, its off and on.

    Because you have repeat on.  Turn it off.

  • Why does my iPhone keep notifying me of upcoming birthdays on Facebook, I can't stand it. How do I get this off?

    Why does my iPhone keep posting notices about upcoming birthdays from fb? How do I get rid of it?

    It's all coming from Facebook.
    Either a notification is turned on or somehow these "events" have been synced to the calendar.
    The "how to fix" would depend on the notification.  If it's coming from the Facebook app, again, fix the notifications in the settings for your facebook account.  Since you're also getting emails, I believe this is where the notifications are coming from.
    If they are coming from the calendar app, then either change the notifications for each event or delete the events.

  • Why does my iphone keep dropping calls

    Why does my iphone4 keep dropping calls??? It has been doing it for over a week. Does anyone have an answer.... AT&T says they are not having any problems and I have done everything but restore my phone.

    Unfortunately, this has plagued the AT&T iPhone since the original model came out. It's most likely a dead zone causing the issue (I have the sameissue from time to time). You can also get a Micro Cell from AT&T, it's basically just an access point that allows you to pick up a cellular signal at home or work (where ever you set it up).
    To eliminate any hardware issues, make sure you're on the latest build of the OS (4.3.3 for the AT&T iPhone 4) - I noticed you're still on 4.3.2. If you don't have a case, I suggest the Apple bumper or any case that covers the metal bezel on your phone, that will help as well.
    Also, you can "reboot" your phone. To do this, hold down the metal sleep button on the upper-right corner of your phone until the "slide to power off" slider is displayed, then power off the phone. Wait a few minutes and turn it back on.
    Hope this helps!

  • Why does the iPhone 4 need to send an SMS to activate FaceTime when the iPad 2 doesn't?

    Hi there.
    I keep wondering why iPhone 4 need to send a international SMS to activate FaceTime when the iPad 2 doesn't?
    It cost's 2,50 dkr ($0.48) every time it does that.
    I have a mobile subscription where i get 5 hours talk time, Free SMS, Free MMS, Free talk to all with same subscription and 5GB data for 129 dkr/month ($24.77).
    But the internation SMS is not free.
    And it really bugs me that my danish iPhone has to send an SMS to England to acticate FaceTime that i only can use on WiFi.
    I also have a iPad 2 (WiFi model), and it can activate FaceTime fine via WiFi. So why can't the iPhone 4 do that?
    I really really need a good explanation to why i have to pay to activate FaceTime.
    Why can't you make local numbers to send the SMS too, or do it via WiFi just like the iPad 2.
    The strangest this is that you have to be on WiFi to use FaceTime, so why use the mobile network to activate FaceTime?

    Where are you, what network are you on and where did you get your phone?
    The fact that it uses SMS isn't really the issue here and no-one on this forum can answer the "why" question. We are end users, not Apple. The accepted answer is if it's going to tie facetime to your phone number (which it does) then that's the way it's got to work.
    The puzzling part is why it would be sending one to England... unless of course, you purchased the phone in the UK and actually live in another region entirely.

  • HT201401 why does my Iphone keep resetting

  • Why does my iphone keep telling me 'Invitation not delivered' when sending a photostream invite?

    When I try to add people to my Shared Photostream folder on my iphone5s, why does it say 'invitation not delivered' and the invite fails. The people I am inviting also have iPhones with iOS 7.1.1 and have iCloud and photostream settings turned on

  • Why does my iphone keep losing wifi connection?

    last week I upgraded from 3g to Iphone4.   I connected to my home wifi with no problems, but every time I leave the phone for a while, when I come back to it I find that it has dropped the wifi connection.  When i try to reconnect, I have to either press the pairing button on the phone every time, or start from scratch and reenter the wep password
    My old 3g does not have this problem at all and remains connected all the time.    I called Orange and all they did was send me a replacement Iphone but I am still having exactly the same problem.
    As long as  am using the  phone the connection is fine.   But if I put the phone down and it goes in to "sleep" mode even for a few minutes, the connection drops.
    Any ideas please as it's driving me nuts - I'm even thinking of ditching the phone and sticking with my trusty old reliable 3g!
    thanks!

    The backed up data in this regard for your 3G has nothing whatsoever to do with your 3G not having the same problem. Some of the data in the backup may be corrupt, etc.
    What does you have tried resetting everything include?
    Does this include resetting network settings on your iPhone 4 and/or include restoring your iPhone 4 as a new iPhone or not from the backup?
    Do you connect your iPhone 4 to any other wi-fi network besides your own? If so, does the same occur with every wi-fi network you connect your iPhone 4 with?
    In your original post, you said WEP password.
    Have you checked the manufacturer's website for your wireless router to see if a firmware update is available for your wireless router model that you haven't installed?

  • HT201210 my iphone keeps needing to be restored

    My iphone over the past month and a half is constantly needing to be restored. Sometimes it can be weeks apart and other times it can be more than once in a day. My phone will usually lose network service before coming up with the 'activation required' screen, when I then unlock the phone it shows the screen requiring you to connect the phone to itunes. Is there anything that I can do to resole this issue??? I have oviously restored it many times and all of my itunes and iphome software is up to date.

    The nearest Apple Store is three hours away. Asking if anyone else has any suggestions? It also doesn't seem to be going into recovery mode anymore and is just doing the restore needed thing every few hours.

  • Why does my iPhone keep cancelling my syncs no matter how many times I try?

    Please don't try to give me advice like "have you tried restarting your iphone?" Yes. I have. Several times.
    I want to know why my syncs keep cancelling for seemingly no reason. YES I have the usb cable plugged in. YES I've updated to the latest version of iOS.
    I've tried doing complete syncs. That doesn't work. I've tried managing my music manually and dragging albums into my iphone. That doesn't work. Every single time the message at the top of the itunes window all of a sudden switches to "cancelling update" or "finishing sync" and I'm left with nothing.
    And this all started because I was trying to solve the problem of iCloud creating doubles of all the songs I purchased on my phone directly, which is another stupid problem that this "support" website has failed to fix. And by trying to fix it myself I've reduced my phone to a state of total uselessness as a music player.
    <Edited By Host>

    Hello, stashmore94. 
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    Usually the reason for interrupted, stalled or canceled syncing alerts is a result of either security software interference or TCP/IP modifications.  Also, non Apple cables and low powered USB hubs can cause this issue.  Here are a couple resources that I would recommend going through as they may help resolve the issue.

  • Why does my IPhone Keep Vibrating and Not Charging?

    I am having trouble with my phone. The phone is almost a year old, but not quite. The charger is a bit worn, and I'm beginning to wonder if the charger is my problem. I have it on a wall charger by my bed so I can check the time if need be. Here's my issue: it vibrates. A lot. Randomly. And I can't sleep. I'm having problems getting it to stop. I don't know if the connection is weak in the cord, but sometimes it will stop charging, then start again and vibrate. And it'll do this over and over, often it's in really quick succession. I looked online and several people have the same thing. Also, a message/notification will pop up. It says something to the effect of: "Charging is not supported with this accessory." I'm starting to worry about it and wonder if it's killing my phone, because my phone isn't holding a charge. (It just went off about four or five times right now...) My lock button is broken, so I CANNOT TURN THE PHONE OFF. What should I do?
    What's the issue, and how can I fix it? My sleep level is low and I need to know if I need to buy another charger. To sum things up, my questions are:
    What's causing the vibrations and notifications?
    Is this a hardware issue, or a problem with the cord connection?
    How much does a new cord cost?
    Thanks for looking, and please answer. I need to know whats going on ASAP.
    Thanks again,
    Username411

    Hey Username411,
    Thanks for the question and detailed information. I believe you are correct in the issue of constant vibration stems from the iPhone disconnecting and reconnecting while charging. See this article for more information:
    iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2802
    Battery does not charge from the USB power adapter
    1. Verify that the outlet being used is working.
    2. Try another USB power adapter if available.
    3. If no other USB power adapter is available, try connecting to a high-power USB 2.0 port (not a keyboard). The computer must be turned on and not in sleep or standby mode.
    4. Try another USB cable if available.
    5. Also refer to iPhone and iPod touch: Charging the battery.
    As suggested, you'll want to try charging the iPhone with a different cable to completely isolate the issue. Borrow one from a friend or family member if possible, but if not you can purchase a new one from Apple directly or an authorized reseller. It is important to buy an Apple-branded charger, which leads us to your last question:
    Apple 30-pin to USB Cable can be purchase from the Apple Online Store for $19 USD:
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/MA591G/C/apple-30-pin-to-usb-cable?fnode=45
    If you find that the issue does lie with your iPhone, check out your service options (as you may still be in warranty). You may want to review your options anyway due to that lock button issue:
