Who to contact and what to do if your iPhone is having problems. You could be having problems for a variety of reasons. Before you can correct what is wrong, you must first understand what is causing your issues. Apple's website contains a wealth of information on how to troubleshoot your iPhone. Some common problems are listed below. It is not as difficult as you might think to troubleshoot your iPhone. Let's look at some common issues and solutions.
Is your iPhone "frozen" or otherwise inoperable? If that's the case, let's take a look at why. Is it necessary to recharge it? The iPhone can only be charged via a high-powered USB port, not a low-powered one. If you're charging your iPhone with your PC, make sure your USB port is high-powered. Check the power of your USB hub; some are low powered, as is your keyboard's USB port (if you have one). Your iPhone can only be charged via a high-powered USB port.
Try restarting your iPhone if you are certain it is fully charged. To do so, hold down the sleep/wake button and wait for a red slider to appear. Then, with your finger, slide it across the red slider to turn off the unit. Wait at least ten seconds before restarting. Hold the sleep/wake button until you see the Apple logo to restart the iPhone.
Is your iPhone obstructed? Did an application become unresponsive? If you press the home button and hold it for about 6 seconds, you should be able to cancel the locked-up program. After that, restart your iPhone.
There is the option to reset the Apple iPhone. To do this, press and hold both the wake/sleep and home buttons at the same time. Continue to hold down these two buttons at the same time until the Apple Logo appears. Other symbols that may appear should be ignored. It's critical to hold down the two buttons until you see the Apple logo.
When content is not properly synced, it can cause issues with your iPhone. This will necessitate more than just a restart. Connect your iPhone to your computer and navigate to the iTunes store. Change your sync settings for contacts, podcasts, calendars, videos, and MP3s. You may need to remove several files that are causing issues.
When troubleshooting your iPhone, try resetting it if none of the above options work. Go to settings, then general, then reset, and finally all settings. This will reset everything while retaining all of your files and documents. Hopefully, this will resolve your issues. However, if you are still having issues with your iPhone at this point, you may need to reset it. Unfortunately, this will delete all of your saved files, folders, and content, so proceed with caution. Before attempting this, you may want to backup all of your content. To clear all of the iPhone's settings, go to settings, general, reset, and finally erase all contents and settings. Everything on your iPhone will be reset, and all of your saved content will be erased. This will include images, music and videos, text messages, files, folders, applications that have been added, and more. It restores your iPhone to the condition it was in when you first purchased it. Take caution when using this option.
