8. Restarting Properly

A hard reboot can be handy if you've an application that just refuses to start or your iphone has frozen. Hold the home button and the sleep/wake button together for 10 seconds, ignoring the slide to turn off message that appears, and the phone shuts down. Now turn on again normally.

9. Force Bad Apps To Quit

Sometimes applications appear to freeze for no reason. Hold the home button and the sleep/wake button together for 10 seconds, until the slide to turn off message appears and then release both buttons. Now hold the home button for around 6 seconds. This tells your iphone to forcibly quit the application and returns you to the home screen.

If you've an ipod touch or iphone that hasn't been upgraded to OS3.0 or above, simply hold the home button for 6 seconds to quit.

10. Start All Over Again

Done something to seriously mess up your iphone? You can reset your iphone to its last backup. Connect your iphone to your computer with the usb cable and wait for iTunes to start. Click the iphone icon and then the restore button to begin.
