HT201401 Hi Iphone 4S not turning on!!  took it into apple store today but they couldn't see anything wrong, ie all internals of phone looked ok just simply didn't work, out of warranty by 4weeks, what can i do?

hi, my iphone 4s has stopped working, was ok on tues night then black screen on wed morn??  took it into apple store today and they can't find anything wrong with it (other than it doesn't turn on)  i'm 4 weeks outside warranty which means i have to pay £140 for a new iphone, surely this can't be right! the phone has just stopped working for no apparent reason, apple can't fix it because they can't actually find anything wrong with it to fix.  i feel that i should get a replacement even though it is out of warranty as it is obviously a fault with this phone.  has anyone else experienced this

You can pay them for an out of warranty replacement, or you can choose not to. It's far less expensive than purchasing a new iPhone.

  • Out of warranty sad iPod- what can i do?:,-(

    The past week or so my 4th gen 20gb iPod has been acting a bit crazy. It started out that sometimes the songs appered to skip, or just go to the next track mid song, play random snippets of songs etc- quite annoying to say the least. i reset it hoping it would just pull itself together but it didnt.
    so i moved on to trying to restore it, then the folder with the exclamation came up on the screen and when i tried to restore it it wouldnt work. i used disc utility to do a 'first aid' on it- it did show up in disc utility but not on the desktop or on itunes. the first aid showed 2 minor errors, can't remember what now, i just tried to do the first aid again but the ipod isnt showing up at all now.
    it just seems the more i use my ipod, the worse it gets.
    the worst thing of all is that its a month out of warranty. im a cash-strapped student that cant afford a new ipod so i desperatley want to get this one fixed. Does anyone have suggestions what i could do with it or any ideas how much an out of warranty repair would cost? i looked at the ipod service faq's and it said if you send in your ipod they will replace it but it will cost you nearly as much as a new ipod.
    its also making a clicking noise when the disk spins up, it spins and stops when it clicks. a friend of mine who is studying computer science thinks it has had a head crash (whatever that means...) and that its possible to get the hard disk replaced. does anyone know if this is posible? i live in dublin, ireland, does anyone know anywhere i could go for advice or to get it repaired? i would really appreciate any comments or suggestions, bus journeys are very boring without music!

    Thanks everyone for your advice, although i dont think im going to try chucking it off any sofas. unfortunatley there are no apple stores in ireland but im contacting the 3 apple authorised resellers in dublin. so far they have directed me to an ipod repairer in the uk - www.ukipodrepairs.co.uk, if anyone is interested. its gona cost me at least 125 pounds sterling (180 euro, 220 dollars) to get it fixed- i ain't made of money people!
    is it common for an ipod to go kaputt after just over a year? i feel very hard done by because i didn't do anything to it to make it stop working. could it be a manufacturing problem?

  • Iphone will not turn on unless plugged into outlet, and then says activation needed

    It worked fine before class, when I left class to check my phone, it wouln't turn on. If I plug it into the wall outlet and it shows the red battery indicating it has no charge, then goes to the apple logo screen for a few minutes before turning on and saying activation required. It was trying to make me go through the steps of activating it. If i unplug it, it will turn back off. It will not power up if I plug it into the computer, and it does not show up as a device on my computer. I have tried holding down the home and power button to reset it, and this does not work. I bought the phone when it first came out, Im trying to avoid taking it the the Apple store because it is 2 hours away.

    What troubleshooting have you tried? Try a reset, hold the sleep/wake and home buttons together until you see the Apple logo and then release. The phone should reboot. If it does not, then you need to try and restore via iTunes. Try connecting the phone to the computer and iTunes and see if it is recognized. If not, you will have to force it into Recovery mode and restore. See this support document for that help. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808

  • Had a problem with my iPad 2 and took it into apple store to get it restored to factory settings. I now need to restore from iTunes but can't see my iPad when connected via USB, any ideas please?

    Help !! I had a problem with my iPad 2 this morning which resulted in me taking into the apple store and them restoring it to factory settings. They advised me to restore all my apps etc from iTunes which I am trying to do, however once connected via the USB I cannot see it as a device on iTunes, and I keep getting the message on my laptop "the iPad cannot be used because it requires iTunes version 11.1 or later, go to iTunes.com/uk and download the latest version"
    I cannot see what the version of iTunes is on my iPad and have gone into safari to try and download but not able to as it tells me iTunes is already loaded. I have the latest version on my laptop  so I am stuck as to what to do next.  Any suggestions please??

    I purchased a Macbook Air 11" in January 2011. It has one key on the keyboard which sticks making an irritating clicking sound that I would like to get fixed. I took it into my local iStore but they were not at all encouraging, saying they doubt that Apple warranty will cover something like this, and also that the whole keyboard would have to be replaced as they don't do individual key repairs.
    This is very unreasonable to me. Firstly, the keyboard does work (is not actually broken) although the intermittent clicking sound of a single key is very irritating to me and I expect more from an Apple product than a flawed keyboard.
    Any thoughts, tips and insight on this greatly appreciated.

    Just wanted to conclude by saying that I did go to an Apple store and after supplying proof of purchase and verifying the warranty etc, I had my MacBook checked out by one of the technicians who (after finding that my machine was immaculate bar the sticky keyboard of course) they replaced the entire keyboard within a week.
    I was so happy with the helpful and prompt service and am now so happy with my new silent keyboard!
    Also wanted to add that the young guy who told me at the iStore that he doubted Apple would support this and guessed Apple likely say it was due to user damage was being a tool, and he was obviously assuming  that I had done something wrong to break my keyboard.
    This was my first Mac purchase and I was delighted to find that the support is genuine and not just a rumor... I have since gone on to purchase an iPad2 will probably buy the iMac too once my trusty PC needs replacing. I was never a PC hater and got on well with windows, and was actually reluctant to make the change - but so far so good :)
    Thanks for all the help!

  • Help, I can't sync any music to my iPhone 5s or iPad 2 ! :( it says it's finished sync but the music is greyed out and not on my devices.. I've tried unchecking the music and doing it manually. Nothing works. I took it to Apple store Robina no help..

    Help, I can't sync any music to my iPhone 5s or iPad 2 ! it says it's finished sync but the music is greyed out and not on my devices.. I've tried unchecking the music and doing it manually. Nothing works. I took it to Apple store Robina no help..

    So I have found a common denominator to this phenomenon. After having the same problem, I started to recopy my playlist of 500+ songs in groups of 10-20, 30+, 75+, and then over a 100+. Any music I have purchased from iTunes won't copy, but everything else did. Unsure if I made a playlist called "Purchased" at some point or this is an iTunes default, I also noticed it had some of the songs contained in my other playlist and was showing on my iPhone. Regardless of what I did such as dragging music from that playlist to the other and clearing songs from that playlist, I removed it altogether from the iPhone itself vs. doing through iTunes. After that, music copied fine to my playlist.
    So, my theory is that iTunes is getting tripped up on purchased tracks already showing on the phone and all songs are showing grayed out/dotted circle because iTunes can't resolve the conflict with purchased tracks.
    Hope this makes sense and is helpful.

  • Detailed Account of iPhone 4 not turning on after screen goes out.

    Hello,
    This is my first iPhone and in the last week it has been annoying. I have been a Mac person for 11 years and this phone is awesome but this problem I am having is not. It started about a week after I had the phone (I have had the phone almost a month now), it seems that when the screen goes blank from inactivity the phone will not come on after pushing the power or home buttons. This requires a hard restart and the phone will come back on. The first time it happened it was a single incident so i Dismissed it all together, but this week it has been happening to me again except this time i did a little more troubleshooting and research on the issue, I do not have in apple store in my location and it was hard enough trying to get the phone and i really do not want to send this back to wait for another phone for two weeks, but unfortunately i will have to.
    Monday I was bored at work and did my usual browse threw the app store purchased a flashlight app for the LED flash on the camera , all seemed well throughout the day. the next morning on the problem started over again. everytime the screen would go blank from inactivity i would have to hard restart the phone. now keep in mind this will only do this from inactivity, if I am playing music in the background and the phone goes off it will still come back on, no problem. So i did some googling and came across a few people having the same issue but no one really giving any details. i went home for lunch and got the new 4.0.2 update hoping this would work, nada.... seemed the only way to remedy the situation was to restore phone to factory settings. I did this tuesday afternoon and all was fine until today , thursday, I received updates for a few apps today (predators, facebook and retina wallpapers hd) now the same problem is happening again.
    This has to be a software issue, it would be awesome if anyone else having the same problem can comment on their issue and try to give as much detail (time, dates, apps, updates) as possible. I have owned three apple machines over the last 11 years, I am a die hard apple guy thru and thru from the age of 13 and wouldn't have it any other way, but it would seem apple should have tested this phone out a little more thoroughly. If i had an applestore in key west i would be more than happy to deal with them over there but I am on an island 120 miles away from the nearest walmart so I am sorta screwed. It would be awesome if an apple tech or moderator could reply so I at least know you guys have a detailed account of what is going on, also please feel free to contact me via email.

    I have been trying for the last half an hour to recreate the problem with out the case on and i cant recreate the issue. the phone is coming up fine, i have restarted the phone twice to see if the problem would come up after a restart and no go.
    I just got off the phone with katy at otterbox and she is telling that they have not had any issues with the case but i have explained to her my whole issue and that i have trouble shooted the issue without the case on the phone itself and i cannot get it to happen again.
    i currently have it in the case and am going to try and recreate the issue again. if the issue comes back up i wont hard restart it on the spot i will take the phone out of the case and then try the home button. if the phone works, its the case, if it doesnt work it has to be the phone.
    now my thinking is that this occurred after a software update, I am wondering if the software that I have on the phone might be taking the overheating temperature threshold up. as in before i installed the software the phone would go out at so&so degrees then after i installed the software it takes it up to so & so degrees and the otterbox is making it just warm enough to turn the phone off.
    another quick note that i am wondering about...
    this monday i had the phone syncing to my itunes and during the syncing i has an update on facebook and out of habbit i immediately go to check it, so i cut off the syncing as this was going on. i dont think that would effect the phone now since i have gone thru a software update and a system restore since then.
    as of writing this post i have been testing the phone with the case on and now the issue is not happening. i will be holding off on sending the phone and will continue to try and troubleshoot the issue, i now have a belief that it could actually be the otterbox that is doing this but i am not sure. i will try and keep this updated as i am telling both companies i have started this tread and that they should make reference of this in the notes

    You can do an out-of-warranty replacement at an Apple Store for a fee, get a 3rd party site to repair it, sell it for parts, or get a new one.

    My iphone will not turn on at all. i tried to hard reboot it and still nothing what can i do to fix this?

    Take it to your local Apple Store and have the genius take a look. If it won't respond at all, it sounds like a hardware failure.
