I currently experience a blank box at the top of the screen on my iPhone 7 once a zip file has completely downloaded from the net. So, I wait the entire 20-30 minutes for it to load only to have it show me the box. I cannot click on the box and attempt to open it in any other way. Am I missing something? This only began recently.
Hi Dom, Have you restarted your device? If not try that but follow these steps Restarting protocol 1. Power off your iDevice 2. Plug into power using charger and a wall outlet–not a computer USB port 3. If the device comes back on, power it off again 4. Wait 2-3 minutes 5. Power your device on See if the black box went away. If not, try a forced restart * On an iPad with no Home Button and iPhones 8 or later: Press and quickly release the Volume Up button. Press and quickly release the Volume Down button. Then press and hold the Side/Top/Power button until the device restarts. * On an iPhone 7 or iPhone 7 Plus: Press and hold both the Side and Volume Down buttons for at least 10 seconds, until you see the Apple logo. * On an iPhone 6s and earlier, iPad with a Home Button, or iPod touch: Press and hold both the Home and the Top (or Side) buttons for at least 10 seconds, until you see the Apple logo. Closing all open and suspended apps might also help: 1. On an iPhone or an iPad with no home button from the Home screen, swipe up from the bottom of the screen and pause slightly in the middle of the screen 2. On an iDevice with a home button, double-click the Home button and swipe right or left to find the app that you want to close 3. Swipe right or left to locate the app you want to close 4. Swipe up on the app’s preview to close it 5. Repeat for all apps in the app switcher until the app switcher is empty and you only see your home screen when accessing the app switcher If that didn’t work, try resetting all settings and see if that works: Go to Settings > general > reset > reset all settings. Reset all settings does the following: * This is usually the last resort since it resets all your personalized features back to factory defaults
* This resets to default everything in Settings, including notifications, alerts, brightness, and clock settings like wake up alarms
* Resetting all settings also reverts all your personalized and customized features like wallpapers and accessibility settings back to factory defaults.
* Performing this action does not impact any of your personal device data, including photos, texts, documents, and other files
* You need to reconfigure these settings once your iPhone or iDevice restarts
Title is just a bit misleading, I would love to have an app that allowed me to edit pdf, this article merely tells me how to open and save it…
hello, what about the writepdf app that apparently does similar? someone told me it might be worth looking at?
