More than ever, tens of millions of people rely on iOS to perform many of their daily tasks. These include not only typical mobile phone tasks such as calling and texting, but also smartphone/tablet tasks such as surfing the web, sending and receiving email, taking photos and videos, getting directions, scheduling appointments, and using apps. Our iOS devices also contain crucial information that we need to access regularly, including our contacts, bookmarks, notes, and calendars. Increasingly, each of us sees our device as an extension of our self, making this the most crucial tool in our day-to-day lives and, so, the one indispensable device.
So it’s no wonder that our lives are upset, possibly even derailed temporarily, when our iOS device doesn’t work the way it should (or the way we think it should). If an email doesn’t go through, web page text is difficult to read, or an app freezes, our productivity (and possibly our sanity) suffers. In such situations, all we want is for things to return to normal so our lives can get back on track.
But how do we get our iOS device to act normally again? After all, the iPhone and the iPad are the devices that are supposed to “just work.” Glitches and hiccups and crashes just aren’t supposed to happen with iOS. Alas, they happen all too often and most of the time it isn’t obvious not only why the problem occurred, but what can be done to fix it (and prevent it from happening again in the future).
Welcome, therefore, to Troubleshooting iOS. In this book, you learn how to prevent iOS problems from occurring and (just in case your preventative measures are for naught) how to fix many common problems yourself. It is those non-obvious fixes, workarounds, and preventative measures that form the core of this book. In clear, straightforward, easy to understand prose, this book takes you through dozens of iOS problems, in each case giving you both some background about why the problem occurred and one or more ways to solve the problem and get the device (and you) back in business.
