Why does my iPhone 5S keep freezing on either the buttons or screen?

Ever since I bought my new iPhone 5S (on Vodafone) about a month ago either the screen or the buttons freeze on an almost daily basis. If I manually restart it (home button and sleep/wake) it works, but is a relative pain having to authenticate Touch-ID all the time. It is just an annoying problem, with no other side effects. I have monitored the times when it freezes and it is on no one particular app, its crashed when i am using Photos, Phone, Messages, Instagram and various Games.
If anyone knows the source of this problem and how to fix it this would be very helpful.

Try to set up the phone as new device and to rule out a software error, don't use the backup after that.
If the phone works without problems, restore from the backup. If the problems are coming back, set it up again as new, this time adding the 3rd party apps back one after the other, one of them must be causing the freezes.

Why does my Iphone 4 keep freezing up, Apps will close with out notice, and will randomly restart?

I just got a used Iphone, and it keeps freezing every time I try to do anything. Every time I click on an app it will open for a second and then close right back out. It will randomly restart, and some times it will just freeze and the only way I can get it to turn off is to hold the home and power button. I have done factory restarts. I restarted the phone as a new iphone and still does the same thing. I havent downloaded any apps from the app store and have just left it completly stock and it still has the same issues. Any ideas?

If you already try to restore via iTunes I think it is an hardware problem.
You should contact apple support and request service.

Why does my iPhone 4 keep turning of when the personal hotspot is turned on

Why does my iPhone 4S keep freezing and crashing and throwing me out of things

I've only had my phone for 2 months. About a week ago it started throwing me out of Facebook then my photos. Now I can't get online or go to settings or my photos, Facebook or anything else because it freezes and goes blank. What can I do?

Hello Mia,
Thank you for providing the details of the issue you are experiencing with your iPhone.
I recommend following these steps for an issue like the one you described:
If a single application is not responding or stops responding when it opens, you can force it to close.
If the device is unresponsive or if certain controls aren't working as expected, restart your device.
If the device remains unresponsive or does not turn on (or power on),reset your device.
If there is no video or if the screen remains black, verify that the device has enough charge to turn on:
If you are using an iPad, ensure that it's connected to the USB Power Adapter supplied with the device.
Let charge for at least twenty minutes, then see if it starts normally.
If there is no image on the screen, press the Sleep/Wake button to attempt to wake the device.
If the screen displays a red battery icon, continue charging the device until the battery is fully charged.
If the above steps do not resolve the issue, or the if the screen remains black or shows a persistent Apple logo, try restoring with iTunes:
Connect the device to your computer and open iTunes.
If the device appears in iTunes, select and click Restore on the Summary pane. Learn more about restoring iOS software.
If the device doesn't appear in iTunes, try to force the device into recovery mode, and then restore it.
If the above steps do not resolve the issue, contact Apple.

If you get to step 5, I recommend backing up your iPhone before performing the restore:

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

Why does my iPhone 5 keep freezing?

I have been having this problem for about 2 weeks now. I don't understand why it would be doing this. Can they get viruses? Or could an app I downloaded caused it?

Unless the device has been jailbroken, there are no viruses that can affect iOS.
Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new). Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.

Why does my iphone 5s keep freezing and restarting?

Why does my iPhone 5 keep freezing? Is it iOS 6?

Any one else having freezing issues,calling fail issues and slow Internet?

Standard troubleshooting...
Try a reset by pressing the home and sleep buttons until you see the Apple logo, ignoring the slider. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.
If still a problem restore from your backup.
If still a problem restore as new, i.e. without your backup. See how it runs with nothing synced to it.
If still a problem, it's likely a hardware issue.

Why does my iphone 5 keep freezing up

my iphone 5 screen will not respond to tapping the screen to view or by scrolling. sometimes i cannot turn it off with re-booting it help!!

Have you taken the basic troubleshooting steps recommended the user guide? What exactly HAVE you done to troubleshoot so far?

Why does my iphone 5c keep freezing?

I have to power off the device just to be able to use the device. I just received it today from insurance today and it was working until 2 hours ago. The phone will freeze up and then you aren't able to go anywhere until I power cycle the phone

Close all open apps by double-tapping the home button, then swiping up and off the screen with the app window (not the smaller icon).
Reset your device: hold down the home button along with the sleep/wake button until the screen goes black and you see the Apple, then let go. (No data loss)
If this doesn't work, back up and restore via iTunes. If the problem continues, restore as a new device and test. If the problem is solved, there is some kind of corruption in your backup file or maybe it's one of your apps causing problems. If it continues, take it to an Apple Store for evaluation of a possible hardware problem.

Why does my new iMac keep freezing for no apparent reason?

Why does my new iMac keep freezing? This usually happens when it is not being used and is particularly frustrating when I do need to use it and ahve to switch off and then on again and wait for it to reboot.
I am not computer literate so keep any answers as simple and idiot friendly as possible. I treat it like a car. If I put in the key and turn the ignition on and the enginesprings into life I am content. If not.............. well!

In order to provide any help we need to understand a little bit more about the problem you are experiencing.
You indicated the issue occurs when the sytem is not being used. Does this mean that you stop working on the system and the system 'goes to sleep' where the screen goes black, but when you need to wake it back up by pressing keys on the keyboard or clicking the mouse the system doesn't wake back up? To test for this issue open the System Preferences and click on the Energy Saver preferences. See the 'Computer Sleep' slider to the far right 'Never' setting. You can set the 'Display sleep' setting to any number you prefer. With these settings see if the issue still occurs and let us know the results. If it resolves the issue then give Apple a call and let them know you are unable to wake the system when it goes to sleep. You shouldn't be having that issue.

Why does my iPhone camera keep telling me "Cannot take photo" there is not enough available storage to take a photo, etc? I have it hooked up to ICloud and the cameral roll???

Why does my iPhone camera keep telling me "cannot take photo" there's not enough storage, but I have my phone/camera roll hooked up to Icloud and have purchased additional storage???

iCloud storage has nothing to do with remaining memory on the phone - only memory for backups and Photostream. The photo has to first be stored on the phone and copies sent to iCloud. If there is not enough available memory on the phone, the photo can't be taken.
To determine the remaining memory on the phone:
Settings > General > Usage > Storage
The Camera Roll is meant for temporary storage of photos, which should be imported to an app on your computer and deleted from Camera Roll. You can then sync back those photos which you want to keep on the phone.
