My iPhone is Completely Frozen! Video Lecture - IT & Software

My iPhone is completely frozen.
What can I do other than chuck it out a window
in frustration?
If it is a particular app that isn't working,
force it to close via the app's preview.
If the whole phone is frozen, hit the sleep-wake
button and turn it off.
That's like hitting control - alt - delete
on a Windows machine.
If in doubt, reboot, is like their first suggestions.
Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.
If the restart doesn't work, you could reset
it.
If I do a reset, whether via a remote wipe
or recovery mode, I lose all my data.
That's only if you do a restore, which is
almost the final solution.
That's why you should backup your data often.
What if resetting it doesn't work.
If resetting doesn't work immediately, charge
it all the way.
Try to turn it on, and if it is still locked,
do the reset again.
Rebooting a device a couple times in the hope
that it works makes me feel like I bought
a Windows phone.
Your final option is connecting the iPhone
to your computer and connecting it to iTunes.
Then restore the device.
What if the restore via the computer doesn't
work?
You could manually force it to go to recovery
mode and then try to restore it.
And if that won't work, I have an overpriced
paper weight.
If that doesn't work, go to the Apple store.
To buy a new phone.
Well, hopefully their in store tech support
could try to fix it first.
It shouldn't take a genius to fix a frozen
phone.
Apple's tech support in the store are called
its Genius bar.
They aren't geniuses.
They designed a headquarters that is a mutated
cross between a UFO and a mushroom.
