Why does Siri and Maps turn off the phone when activated?

I have a 4S less than 1.5 years old and bought it because I wouldn't get any viruses. I use the phone for calls, e-mail, surfing web and directions. Now when I engage Siri or Maps for directions/location, my phone turns off and restarts. I get nothing, nada, black screen and then an Apple log and then I am back to square one. I think I have a bug of some sort that got in when the web page I went to asked to use my location and wouldn't let me say no. Has this happened to anyone else? How can I fix it? -bam

Try a reset:
Reset: Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Note: You will not lose any data

Why turns off the phone when someone calls me ?

Hello ..
So . My phone is ok , but only the someone call me the phone it turns off and i can't to answer .
I don't know it have .
Please help me !
Thanks a lot

Standard troubleshooting...
1. Try a Restart by pressing the sleep/lock button until you see the slider. Slide to power off. Restart by pressing the sleep/lock button until you see the Apple logo.
2. Try a Reset by pressing the home and sleep buttons until you see the Apple logo, ignoring the slider if, it comes up. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.
3. Remove all apps from Recently Used list...
- From any Home Screen, double tap the home button to bring up the Recents List
- Tap and hold any icon in this list until they wiggle
- Press the red (-) to delete all apps from this list.
- Press the home button twice when done.
4. If still a problem restore with your backup.
5. If still a problem restore as new, i.e. without your backup. See how it runs with nothing synced to it.
6. If still a problem, it's likely a hardware issue.

Hi, I have installed VMware Fusion to switch to windows. The game I played is now frozen and even turning off the computer does not get it out of the 'frozen' mode. What can I do?

Are the Airport bars still black & showing good signal when it gets lost?
Could there be another Network nearby on the same channel?
Any Microwave sources like TVs, Cell Phones, Ovens around?
Does the one providing Internet remain connect to the Internet when this happens?
Is the Ethernet Interface on the Mac that connects to the Internet dragged to the top of System Preferences>Network>Show:>Network Port Configurations, with Airport below it?

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,

I have iphone5s and there is some problem about my iphone. I turn off the phone and then I turn on. After I turned on, It showed the page of apple signal and then the page of loading. It used long time to show the loading page. Then it was back to page of apple and then loading page again many times. What happen with it? And what should I do?

Did you already try to reset the phone again by holding the sleep and home button for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comes back again?
If this does not work, try to set it up as new device, explained here:
How to back up your data and set up as a new device
You may have to connect in recovery mode, if the phone is not recognized in iTunes:
iOS: Unable to update or restore

I have just now tried the Reinstall via iTunes, about 20 into the download, the iTunes logo on the phone disappeared, and the Apple Logo appeared again,,, I waited until the iTunes stated that the download had finished, and the install was in progress,,,
Nothing happened, still the Apple Logo was visual on the screen, iTunes never recognised the phone which it was on my iTunes account previously,,,
Still just a bunch of lines, maybe 5 or 6 so small writing,, I personally can not read what it is telling me, someone said it reads, incorrect shutdown,,,????????
Please advise,???
I am now at a loss,,, I really became excited when I saw the iTunes icon after putting the phone into restore,,,???

I just tried to update my iPhone 4 and it said it was successful, but now I have a message (USB icon - arrow- iTunes icon) that is frozen? I have turned off the phone, unplugged USB and reconnected and closed out of iTunes and back in. Any suggestions?

Why does photoshop download pictures automatically off the internet that I don't want?

Where are the pictures coming from? I would more likely believe that your system has a virus than photoshop, but without more information, I could be misinterpreting your post.

Because that's the way it is designed. If you don't like it, don't purchase an iPhone, or tell Apple you don't like it:

Have you tried a reset ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider if it appears), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot. You can then do a backup

My ipod nano 6 keeps turning off the music when i touch the sleep button

Hi my Ipod nano 6th keeps turning off the music when I touch the sleep/wake button.
What should I do?

Your problem is that your iPod is not sensing that your headset is inserted. There is a pin inside the headphone port on the Nano that senses if it is inserted fully. If it does not sense anything, it will pause playback when the screen turns off to save battery power. Here are the solutions:
Insert it fully. This will fix it for most of you. Press that thing in there all the way. You should feel and hear a full click when it is fully seated. If you can see ANY silver of the headset jack, it is not fully inserted.
Debris inside the headset port. If you are totally unable to push the headset jack all the way, the most likely problem is that you have crud inside your headphone jack. Try blowing it out or slapping it against your palm with the headset port facing your palm to try and get the stuff out. If you look into he jack with a light, you should be able to see to the bottom. The entire inside of the headset port is white, so if it looks dark at the bottom, that is the crud that is keeping your nano from working.
Headset jack or plug issue. If you cannot solve the problem with 1 or 2, then there is likely something physically wrong with either the headset jack on your headphones or the headset port on the nano.
