Why does my iPhone 4 not show what my messages says when locked? It says ''message" but not what the person has said?

My iPhone 4 when locked or when unlocked when I receive an iMessage doesn't tell me what the person has said. When my phone receives a message it says 'message' underneath the persons name but not what they have said. Please help me?

Also enable Show in Lock Screen on that setting.
Also, Settings/General/Passcode Lock. Set the options.

  • Why does my iphone 6 show 700 songs on it and itunes says that there are no songs on my phone?

    why does my iphone 6 show 700 songs on it and itunes says that there are no songs on my phone?

    The "streaming" that iTunes Match does is not the traditional streaming we are used to. iOS 6 actually downloads the song to non-permanent memory on the iOS device in a cache. The advantage of this is it then makes the tracks available for listening to again without having to stream it again. You can clear out the cache by either power cycling the device or disabling/enabling iTM. I prefer doing the former.

  • Why does my iphone come up with a different email when updating apps?

    why does my iphone come up with a different email when updating apps?
    Everytime I go to update my apps some other persons email or AppleID comes up and I have to cancel.  its annoying enough to have to update all the time but now I have about100 update notifications (don't judge, you probably have a ton of apps too..haha) that are sitting idol, what's up how do I fix?
    thx
    Jackie
    p.s. not updating to iOS6 yet

    I'm sorry Allan, I should have clarified, your answer is improbable (well the first part atleast).
    The apps I have had since the first week of purchase of my iphone back in 2011,  I have not added any apps until 2 months before the last software update.  This starting happening when the new software was implemented but I have not updated to iOS6 yet.  Unless this person was able to hack into my account & transfer them to their account, I do not see how that is possible.
    Prior to seeing this other AppleID, I have a popup to prompt me for my AppleID each time I download content.  Each time I would see mine and enter my password.

    I'd like to add one more thing.  I need to update my iPod as I'm using version 1.0.2 PC -- Before I do this, I'd like to back up my iPod.  As I noted above, I am afraid of doing something and accidentally wiping out my iPod (since that's where everything seems to be).

  • Why does my iphone only send one picture multiple times when i select multiple photos to send?

    why does my iphone send one picture multiple times when i select multiple photos to send (via message or email)?

    Are you sending via Camera itself?
    That is, selecting a picture, then select forward link symbol from bottom left
    then select another picture,
    Each time make sure you see the blue check mark at bottom right of each selected picture.
    The number of " # Photos Selected" should be displayed at the top.
    Then select Mail or Message and transmit.

  • Why does my iPhone 5 show one specific contact's number only, & not their name? Help?

    I have an iPhone 5 and it will not show my girlfriend's name or info whenever she calls or texts oddly enough (as if I do not have her in my phone to begin with). She has an iphone so our messages are through iMessage. I have attempted to re-add her numerous times as well as resetting all settings.

    It has a 1 year warranty. Make an appointment at the genius bar and take it in for them to have a look at it. If it's defective, they'll replace it.

  • Why does my Iphone 3gs show "other" taking up almost 40% of my memory?

    My Iphone 3gs shows I have only 400mb of available memory, when I have only about 30 apps, and none are really all that large.  Also, I have no videos nor no music.  It is 8GB.
    Can anyone help?

    Delete the content that is filling it up. Text messages, iMessages, SMS, emails, Safari Cache; essentially all data for all of the built in apps. If that doesn't clear it up, which if it says it's 8GB I don't think it will, then restoring from a backup or restoring to factory default settings will clear that up.

  • Why does my iPhone 5c go to black apple screen when I unlock it?

    When using my messaging, if my phone locks when I unlock it, it goes directly to the black apple screen that usually appears when turning my phone on. Then it will eventually go back to my messages. Does anyone know why it's doing this and how to fix it?

    Hi MrsBarnett10,
    If you are having an issue with your iPhone not unlocking normally while using Messages,   you may want to try some things to troubleshoot.
    First, quit all running applications and test again -
    iOS: Force an app to close
    Next, I would try restarting the iPhone -
    Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset
    If the issue is still present, you may want to restore the iPhone as a new device -

    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

  • Why does opening some links in Firefox causes a "Server Error in '/' Application Runtime Error" but not in "Internet Explorer"?

    When I click on some links in an email (and Firefox is the default browser) I get the following error:
    Server Error in '/' Application.
    Runtime Error
    Description: An exception occurred while processing your request. Additionally, another exception occurred while executing the custom error page for the first exception. The request has been terminated.
    If, however, I click the same links (and Internet Explorer is the default browser) I do not get any error and the proper content of the link is displayed.
    What is causing this error? As I prefer Firefox, how can this problem be fixed?
    OS Windows 7, Service Pack 1
    Firefox Version 32.0.1
    Internet Explorer Version 11.0.9600.17280
    Thank you for your assistance.

    When you look at the address in the address bar, does it seem to match up with the email?
    Sounds like Firefox sent the server something it wasn't expecting. Sometimes this can be caused by obsolete or corrupted cookies -- assuming you have visited the site before. It also might be caused by modifications to standard information sent to servers such as the "user agent" string that specifies your browser version and OS.
    To clear a site's cookies, while viewing a page on the site, either:
    * right-click and choose View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
    * (menu bar) Tools > Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
    Then try reloading the page. Does that help?
