What to Do When Your iPhone Acts Up???
Most of the time your iPhone behaves itself, but every so often it causes you problems. Here’s a quick review of things you can try if your iPhone misbehaves.
Start with the first tip — they get more drastic as they go on.
Restart it. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button, and then slide the red slider to turn it off. Wait a few seconds. Press the Sleep/Wake button to turn it back on.
Force any frozen applications to quit. Press and hold the Home button on the front of the iPhone for 6 to 10 seconds. Then restart it (see Step 1).
Reset it. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button while you press and hold the Home button at the same time. This forces your iPhone to restart.
Reset iPhone settings. Tap the Settings icon on your Home screen, and then tap General, Reset, and Reset All Settings. Resetting iPhone settings won’t erase your data, but you’ll probably have to change some settings afterwards.
Restore it. Connect your iPhone to your computer as though you were about to sync. Then select the iPhone in the iTunes source list and click the Restore button on the Summary tab.
This erases all of your data and media, and resets all your settings.
Because your data and media (except photos you’ve taken as well as contacts, calendar events, and On-the-Go playlists you’ve created or modified since your last sync) still exist on your computer, you shouldn’t lose anything. Your next sync will take longer, and you will have to reset any settings you’ve changed since you got your iPhone. But your media and data files shouldn’t be affected.
