5c-Have had it for less than a year?
Hello, I am a college student who has had their iphone 5c for less than a year now. I take very good care of my electronics and I have never cracked a screen or anything. This phone screen isn't cracked either or damaged.
This all started a few months ago, when the weather changed and got really cold. My phone started having a "mind of its own" and would open applications and other things such as facetime all by itself. I learned ways to help stop this such as turning off my wifi and 3g, which would momentarily calm it down but I would notice these faint lines appear on my screen any time it decided to ghost. I would turn down the screens brightness to help my phone "cool off" i guess you could say.
The other day, after doing NOTHING to my phone, the bottom part pixelated out. No reason just did.
I figured okay, well I can see everything and the ghosting isn't worse so its fine. I'll get it fixed in may
Since April 1st my phone won't even let me slide it to unlock. Its freezing cold all the time, and i can't answer any phone calls which is important when you're trying to transfer schools. it was bad enough when my phone would hang up calls for me, but now not even being able to answer them is pure ****.
I looked up my warranty and it says it doesn't cover it? I've have had my phone for less than a year though so I don't understand. It's so frustrating. I've never had my old android do this to me. I switched to iphone for the convenience and yet here I am, having my phone not even turn slide on?
I have tried everything, from turning it off for a day( I had to hard reset it any time I did this because the screen won't acknowledge any of my slides) and i tried factory resetting it when it started to ghost. I have never ever been more frustrated or disappointed with a product in my life.
I want to send it to apple but I definitely don't have the money to replace an iphone that I am still paying for and haven't even cracked. I have an ipad and two ipods and those are in fine condition but I definitely need my phone. I am so upset with this product. If I send it to apple care are they just going to charge my card? I honestly have NO funds to pay for this right now and I desperately need my phone to work.
Here are two other examples of this happening..
I expected more from Apple.

something went wrong with my apple tv and now it says that it is in retail demo mode. How can i fix it? I have had it for more than one year without any problem
To turn on/off retail mode, go to settings, general, legal.
Do not open legal, just put the cursor there.
Then, on the remote, type this sequence : right - right - left - center.
The AppleTV should reboot. -
The ringer switch on the side of my Iphone 4S has stopped working and the phone is now turning itself on and off silent without me touching any buttons. Will this be covered under warrenty? I have had the phone for less than a year. Although I have had the screen replaced, and wondered if this may void the warrenty?
Yes, the screen replacement (I am assuming by you our a 3rd party) voided your warranty.

brand new ipod classic 160gb will not restore. have tried all steps with no fix. Also tried steps on a different computer with same results. anu help?
if you own a mac try to re format the disc to journal.
If you are on a windows like me, try to reformat the disc to NTFS. Then it will display that you need to restore as the ipod is in recovery mode. It restored with success. and voila, brand new working ipod. -
Hi, can I get an ipod touch fixed after it was washed in the washing machine?
You might want to check your household contents insurance as well, as this might cover accidental damage, even if the credit cards don't.
Also, if there were purchased items on the iPod, many policies now cover downloaded content as well (up to a limit of course). -
I have had an apple iPad 2 (16 Gb) for less than a year with less than two pages of apps, but when I look at the bar which tells you how much space you have used, it says I have 6.7 Gb worth of "other" space used. I am unable to download any apps on account of all the space used. I have researched this problem and I can't seem to find an explanation. If anyone knows the solution or has spoken to apple about this please help if you can. Thank you!
The long and short of it is that you will probably have to restore your iPad. That giant "other" space is a sign of a corrupt file from a sync, I am pretty sure, but I am quite sure that the way to resolve it is to restore the iPad.
You can search the discussion site for similar threads but I think you will find that a restore is the way to correct it. Read this one.

I fainted and fell while holding my iPad and the screen cracked; it still works fine. It's just cracked. I feel horrible, it was a gift from my brother. have had this iPad for less than a year so it is still covered under warranties. Does this apply? If not how much to fix the screen? Please help

Question why has my balance on my itune account have totally disappeared when I have only been using it for less than a year? had still fair bit of money in it too. around $60
First, make sure you're logged into the iTunes Store using the account ID and password you set up, or used, when you redeemed your card/gift. If you are, try signing out of the account and back in.
If you're sure you are using the correct account and that you're signing in to the iTunes Store, and signing out and back in doesn't help, go to the Purchase History and review your purchases to make sure that you should indeed have a balance left. iTunes doesn't always refresh the balance it shows, so it's possible you spent the money and it just wasn't being reflected in the display. This display error can usually be corrected by logging out of the iTunes Store and then back in.
If you confirm that you should have balance left but the iTunes Store isn't showing it correctly, send a message to the iTunes Store customer service department through the contact form you'll find by selecting the most applicable section of their Support page (select the Contact Support link and follow the instructions) and explain the problem to them.
Good luck. -
all of the apps on my ipod touch dont respond, or will stop working after a short period of time. ive had my ipod for less than a year and this has been a reaccuring issue for a while. what can i do to fix this problem?
Have you tried a hard reset yet? To do this, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.
Otherwise, try a restore from an earlier backup in iTunes.
iTunes: Backing up, updating, and restoring iOS software
And lastly, restore to factory defaults in necessary.

I have a Macbook Pro less than a year old running slow
I have a macbook pro that is less than a year old and it's running pretty slow. This is the first Mac I've ever had and always heard they are great and never get viruses. The software versions in OS X 10.8.1.
Does anyone have any ideas what it could be?A mini DisplayPort display or adapter won't work plugged directly into the Thunderbolt port on the back of a Thunderbolt display, but will work if a Thunderbolt disk drive (with two Thunderbolt ports) is connected between the Thunderbolt display and Mini DisplayPort device.

My old school palm pre was much friendlier than the IPHONE 3G. I was able to sync my outlook calendars and contacts via wi-fi effortlessly. I tunes did sync once or twice in the six months that I have had it, but more often it acts like it is syncing and ultimately delivers a message like "no calendar application is supported". Why the back and forth. Very frustrating after literally hours of trying to sync my phone with my Outlook calendar and contacts. HELP!!!!
What version of MS Office do you have installed? Have you tried re-installing office over top of itself? It may not be properly registered with the OS.

4 computers in less than 4 years. What can I learn from this?
I've had four MacBook Pros in the past 3.5 years.
The first one had a bad motherboard and in the end, the computer was just replaced. I had it for less than a year when that happned, and the computer they replaced it with (#2) lasted two years.
One month after the warranty ran out, it quit working and it needed a new motherboard. I bought a new computer (computer #3 at this point). That one worked for 3 months before I had to take it in. They replaced the motherboard.
On Monday, computer number 3 quit working.(It was the second time I had to take it in. The first time they replaced the motherboard after it was three months old. Turns out, that didn't actually fix the issue and I had to erase everything and re-install the operating system). I took it in this time and they replaced the hard drive. That didn't fix the problem. So they replaced the RAM. That didn't fix the problem. I was just told on the phone that they would need to replace the computer because they have no idea what is wrong with it. I've had it since August. That one didn't last long.
So now I'm on machine number 4 in less than 4 years. This is extremely frustrating, considering the time and revenue lost, as I need a computer every day to get my work done. I've lost money and clients. Every time I take these computers in, it's at least of week of sorting everything out. I should say that I am so careful with these computers. I keep them very clean and keep them in a protected case whenver I move them.
Now, I like to look on the bride side of things. But I can not see a bright side to this.
So I have two questions. What lesson should I learn from having to replace three MacBook Pro computers in such a short amount of time? And the second question, is there some customer support department that hear about this?Hi slimpiggy,
Sorry to hear of your frustration. Regrettably, your experience is far from the norm but it's definitely not an unheard of story. A family friend experienced a similar issue with her Dell XPS machine (5 units in 33 months). Sometimes it's just a chain reaction of bad luck.
Out of curiosity, if your computer is such a key component to your income and financial success then why do you have only one? I've worked in a position that has required constant contact to network services and resources and as such one of the first purchases I made was a secondary computer. It was nowhere near as nice as my main unit but it give me a buffer incase there was a situation that my primary machine was unavailable, lost, damaged or required service.
As far as the lesson, there is none. Misdiagnosed machines or slow turn around times on repairs are never fun but there's not much you can do. Apple does have a department, called Customer Relations that you can speak to regarding your experience. Their number is (or at least was this the last time I called) 800-767-2775.
Good luck! -

how can I get rid of ios6 ? I have had this iPad for less than 2 weeks and made the mistake of "upgrading" to ios6 and now my map is completely useless. Feel like I have been robbed
There are alternatives. But none of them have Google street view, able to work on iOS 6. Apple should have offered this as a beta version, for a few more months instead of inflicting us with an inferior product. This iPad will probably be my last Apple product. A shame, because until last a few days ago, I thought the iPad and iPhone were fantastic.
Apple should quit their petty squabbling with, Google and Samsung and concentrate on supplying the best product.
Google and Samsung must be enjoying this particular fiasco. -
Hello!
I have had my Macbook Pro for less than 2 weeks. About an hour ago I turned it on and clicked on Safari. A pop up appeared...the usual "Congratulations! You are the Winner of.." etc etc. I have not downloaded anything from an unreliable source. I have quite honestly turned on the computer less than 10 times since getting it. The pop up prevents me from browsing the internet.
Please help! I did not think I would run into problems with the laptop so soon.
Thank you.
J.The Lion OS has a new feature that returns you to a "previous state" the next time an application is opened.
You can stop this behavior by holding down the option key when quiting an app or hold down the shift key when you launch an app.
