My iPhone 5s was going fine two nights ago which is the only time when I use
it, but last night,
when I switched it on, I found that everything, and I do mean *everything had
turned to custard and
a very nasty custard at that!
I hope that I can explain what is happening, or, to be precise, what is * not
happening.
I will start by saying that for the past couple of weeks, at random times, it
has been asking me for
my password, but when I do a single finger double tap on "not now" it goes on
with whatever I had
it doing. I have no security settings on the phone as there is no sensitive
information like bank
account numbers etc stored in it, so I was * surprised when I switched it on
last night, and it
asked: no! I will rephrase that: it demanded that I enter my Apple id,
password and email address.
Reluctantly, I attempted to do all that which was demanded , but it wouldn't
accept anything.
There is no voice: I have pressed the up volume button until my finger has a
blister on it and I
have checked the mute button, but voice-over is not there, and in fact, with
the exception of the
book that I am reading over which I have very little control, nothing is
working. I can't even
switch it off. I thought that I had, eventually, done that by holding the
power and home buttons
down for several seconds at the same time, but when I release them, I get, not
the normal screen
locking click but a, slightly drawn out one as though I had taken a photo.
When I checked the
phone this morning, it was very hot, so, obviously, I had not succeeded in
switching it off.
I haven't the smallest notion of just what has gone wrong. Does my explanation
give any clue as to
what I can do to fix whatever has gone haywire.
I have not, recently, done an update and think, though won't bet the ranch on
it, that the latest
IOS update was 11. and a small handful of decimal placings.
I have just checked it and nothing has improved except that it is not as hot as
it was, but none of
us are after a time when we have turned our toes up/kicked the bucket and the
multitude of other
euphamisms for crossing the rainbow bridge.
