Any experience with Apple fixing Iphone just after warranty has expired

My iPhone has just past a year old, actually it's now 54 Weeks since I purchased it. The Touch Screen has just stopped working, it was fine, I went to unlock it and it didn't respond. I've now reset, restored etc and the touch part of the screen is just dead.
Has anyone had any experience getting Apple to fix a phone after the warrenty has expired? The touch screen seems to be a common problem with the phone, and it renders it completly useless and if just happens to fail just after the warranty has expired the only option is to pay for a brand new phone, or use the $199 service option.

Call iPhone support or talk to a genius at an apple store. If it is an issue that is really common they might make an exception to the warranty. Can't hurt to ask if you have the time to wait on hold.

Iphone 4s fault repaired within warranty but same fault has reoccurred just after warranty has expired. What can I do?

My husband's phone developed an internal fault that meant the sound kept dropping out during phone conversations. He took the phone to the Apple store a couple of months ago and they fixed the problem under the warranty. The same fault has reoccurred, so he took the phone back to the store yesterday and they wouldn't fix it because the warranty has now expired, (sometime in October). If Apple do a repair three months ago that subsequently goes wrong, it is surely reasonable to expect them to fix it after such a short period of time, regardless of whether the warranty has expired? By their logic, they could replace a phone the day before the warranty expires but if it dies 48 hours later they would have no responsibility to do anything.

Thanks Victoria,
I figured we are not alone but is this a comfimrd, (by Apple), design fault? If the problem was a latent fault at time of purchase then Apple have to deal with the problem under EU law.
At the moment, they are wriggling out of doing anything because the warrenty has expired. We are quite clued up on consumer law and realise that it is not 'fit for purpose' under the Sale of Goods Act and, on those grounds alone, we have a good position to argue from. However, if we are sure there is a latent problem, we probably have have a good arguement for a replacement rather than a repair, particularly as they already repaired the phone about three months ago and the problem has manifested itself again.

How much does iPhone Battery Replacement Service cost?
Service arranged through Apple costs $79. A $6.95 shipping fee will be added if this service requires shipping. All fees are in U.S. dollars and are subject to local tax.
Secondarly this depends on the country that you are doing this at and if the device has warrenty coverage (IE: Bought there)

Does anyone insure Apple products against breakdown after applecare has expired?

I have an iMac which is over 3 years old. I cant pay for any extended warranties though Apple any longer.
Does anyone know of anyone I can insure it with against hardware faliure? Its good to have the piece of mind that if the HDD fails or the LCD fails etc, not through accidental breakage which I have on my house insurance, but to cover me it just stops working one day?

There are some aftermarket service plans that can be obtained for computers now out of warranty, but in my past investigations of them I've found that the limitations on coverage and frequent hassles of obtaining reimbursement for repairs have not made such plans worthwhile. Some such plans also require that you purchase while the system is still in warranty and hence would not be available to you now (the plans from SquareTrade, for instance).
But perhaps someone else here will know of a plan that's good.
Regards.

As these are user to user support forums, there will be no official response from Apple posted here.
Basic forum ettiquette is search before posting, so why post again if you've already searched? Seems rather unintelligent.

Any experience with iTunes syncing to Sony Xperia Active?

I'm considering getting a Sony Xperia Active only becasue it's more durable than an iPhone, but am curious if anyone has any experience with its syncing to Apple software like iTunes, iMovie, Address Book and iCal?
Thank you!

Not really any of that from reading the software information. It seems it just does it on a basic file transfer level, not interfacing with any of Apple's actual applications (not surprisingly). Playlists are actually part of the iTunes library, not the media files. While you could add a "playlist" to it by dragging the files to the device, it would just be adding a bunch of files and you would then have to figure out how to get them structured into a playlist format the device understands. There may be third party software packages that go beyond the basic one I linked but you would have to search.
On the calendars and addressbook, again, no interface with Apple's applications. You'd have to export the data into some format the device could then import. Maybe not impossible but certainly not seamless.

iTunes update 11.0.2. (loaded automatically in the background and signaled in the App Store symbol is delivering failure 103 if I try to install it - any experience how to fix it?

Try just downloading and installing from the Support site - http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1614 - instead of the Mac App Store.

5300 RAM showing up as 3200 in Quad, any experience with this problem?

Hello, just received a 2 gig kit for my G5 Quad (2 - 1 gig sticks from Crucial). System Profiler shows it's speed at 3200, lower than the original 512 RAM which is 4200. Crucial says it will only reach 4200, but why is the new RAM showing up at 3200? Tried removing original RAM and only using the new, same speed displayed - 3200.
Has anyone had any experience with this oddity? Any idea if the RAM is not performing or the Mac is not giving accurate speed data?
Thanks, Steve

Memory identified as PC2600 in MDD
Symptom
Apple Hardware Test identifies the computer's memory as "PC2600" rather than "PC2700".
Products affected
* Power Mac G4 (Mirrored Drive Doors)
* Apple Hardware Test version 1.2.6
Solution
There is nothing wrong with your computer's memory. This issue is addressed in Apple Hardware Test 1.2.7. If you have version 1.2.6 and are experiencing this issue, contact AppleCare for a replacement disc.
Apple is aware of that. It first showed up in 10.3.0 and has been there ever since. The issue with the above DDR2 is I think different and unique.
With the MDD, Apple used Micron in the system I got, and I added Crucial. Both show up as '2600.'

Any experience with logitech v400 cordless laser mouse?

I'm still looking for a good mouse, either bluetooth or USB-cordless for my iBook. I recently learnt that Logitech has a new notebook mouse: logitech v400. If anyone has experience with this mouse I would appreciate hearing their findings.
thanx, Frank
iMac G5 1800 mHz & iBook 12' (1,33 mHz, 60 GB) Mac OS X (10.4.3)

Nick it's a USB. I have the MX1000. As I told Frank I really don't have any experience with the others so I couldn't really say. I went from the Apple one button to an Microsoft Intellimouse. I realized I liked all those buttons. A lot! So when I decided on getting a wireless I wanted one that had plenty of buttons!
The MX1000 had just came out and was getting real good reviews and I checked one out and liked it so I asked Santa for it last year and I must've been a good boy because my wife.... I mean Santa brought me one.
I would imagine you could check into exactly what feature each one has and find one you like.
I really like the idea of never having to put batteries in it. It charges off the base/receiver. Mine usually lasts about 3 weeks between charges and it takes about 4 hrs to charge it. It has a batter meter on it so I know ahead of time when it's low and I usually just put it in the charger overnight.

Any experience with refurb iMacs?

Howdy all...
Wondered if anyone here has any experience with purchasing refurbished units from the apple.com store site? There seem to be a few deals there, and they do offer applecare, just wondering if maybe that's where all the lemons end up?
Any experiences at all would be great to hear, and don't need to be limited to iMacs... just really interested in the refurb experience as a whole.
Thanks,
adam

I bought a refurbished BlackBook at the end of June and it arrived in absolutely perfect condition - it even smelled new.
Refurbs are a great value. You get a discount, the full one year warrantee, and the ability to extend that to three years with AppleCare. For all intents and purposes, Apple treats it like a new unit.
I have even read here about people getting "free" upgrades with refurbs. Apple advertises the base configurations and ships out whatever they have in stock. Sometimes that means a larger HD or more RAM, but do not count on it. I would hold off on ordering RAM or a larger HD until you actually receive it to see what it comes with.

Any experience with coolbook?

Does anyone have any experience with coolbook on the Macbook unibody? I am constantly running mine with one proc full out for hours on end and noticed that the CPU is at 80 C and the fans are at about 2.5k, so I figure if I could under volt a little I could get the CPU temp down a little. Pushing the fans up seems like a bad idea to me because that ages them faster.
Also, the idea of being able to keep the processor's speed down when I am not plugged in sounds good to be because I am almost never doing anything that I care to do quickly.
Also, does anyone have an experience with coolbook and apple care? i.e. getting heck from Apple b/c it was installed?

Hi Paul Bailey,
I just bought Coolbook for my 15' Macbook Pro Unibody (2.4ghz) yesterday. I recently asked your very question about Coolbook and warranty / AppleCare and the response I received from iVmichael was that it would be fine (thread visible here: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=10132068&#10132068 ). I read the Coolbook instructions yesterday and it said that Coolbook couldn't damage your processor. I did some experimenting with it and even putting the highest speed at the lowest voltage it would let me use on Coolbook only resulted in a kernel panic which just told me to turn the computer off, which I did. When I turned it back on, there were no problems at all so I don't think you'll run into problems with Coolbook or at the very least, that's been my experience.
I played around with the voltages a bit however I found that for most things I do, it didn't make a noticeable difference. I mostly just use my Macbook Pro for web browsing and email, which are already very well handled at cool temperatures by Apple.
I think the one thing to keep in mind is that even if by lowering the processor speed you're able to use less power through undervolting, you'll then end up with the processor working more time (eg. 2.4ghz processor will finish an encoding job much faster than a 1.8ghz processor) and that higher speed processor might actually end up being a better fit because once it finishes the demanding tasks, it'll underclock itself while the slower Coolbook-enabled processor is still working at most likely a higher frequency + voltage.
From what I've read, everyone's Macbook Pro will have different results with Coolbook, as some of the Intel chips are willing to run (and be stable) at lower voltages than others, so some people will get more (or less) benefit than I experienced. I was able to get mine to run at 2.4ghz while using 1.0625 volts instead of the default of 1.1375 volts, so my CPU is running about 7% more power efficiently now. I had similar power efficiency improvements experimenting with different speed/voltage combinations. One thing to watch when lowering voltages is that some people have experienced a Core getting disabled (because not enough power is flowing to keep both enabled). If lowering the voltage causes this, you might find your Macbook Pro getting hotter instead of cooler, especially if doing anything that on one CPU causes it to constantly work at it's maximum performance.
I'm not sure how much of a difference +7% CPU power efficiency would make in battery life, however mine seems to run about 2-3 degrees Celsius cooler which is nice, although it wasn't bothering me at the higher temperature. What I've heard mentioned in other threads on the Apple Discussion forums is that a cooler running Macbook Pro's battery should be able to go through more charging cycles than a warmer running one because of the effect heat has on the duration of a battery's life, so that's another definite plus.
For battery life, you should get a pretty good extension (better than Coolbook) by lowering the Macbook Pro's LCD/LED brightness to the minimum or as low as you can tolerate if you aren't doing that already. I've heard that even not having the keys backlit when on battery power can add about 45 minutes to battery life as well. For the $10 Coolbook costs, it's worth it in my opinion.
As for experimenting with fan speed, I definitely think it's a bad idea to have the fan running at max speed or ramping it up substantially over the default Apple settings. Like you said, it'll make the fan age faster and I've heard replacement fans aren't all that cheap (especially when you factor in labor). I really wouldn't know the answer to this, so I'm just speculating, however I personally would see fan failure resultant from smcfancontrol (or another fan speed program) as the Macbook Pro owner's fault and clearly not the fault of Apple if the fan were to fail because it's being used for extended periods of time at substantially higher speeds than it was intended to run at. I've seen some people say it wouldn't affect the warranty, however I think it's best that you contact AppleCare directly and ask just to be safe if this is something you're considering doing -- I haven't managed to come across an official answer from Apple.
What I think is a good idea would be to increase the minimum fan speed a bit. My Macbook Pro fans usually run at around 2000rpm, so by increasing the fan speed to 2200rpm, I make it run a bit cooler while presumably not doing much to shorten fan lifespan. I may perhaps even be increasing fan lifespan as it now takes longer before the fans need to run at a higher rpm because they're doing a better job at keeping the Macbook Pro running within it's designed thermal envelope.

Is there any communication with apple?

There are several bugs in the notation window, something got worse in Logic 7 compare with Logic 6, but I can get no contact with someone in the new Logic/Apple Center to talk with - is there any communication with apple? Its sad, because I work since 10 Years with Logic, and have a lot of experience with the good and bad of this programm. But it seems there is no interest: Whats your experience with apple?

manofgodjay is right.
a lot of these bugs and problems have been around a long time. the problem is that they simply have not had a team working on score since before v5. this appears to be changing.
the score editor as it stands (if it worked properly) would still be a brilliant if limited notation program. even with the bugs, it offers such a flexible and easy and above all, fast way of working, i just can't tear myself away from it, having had a real crack at finale and sibelius.
if logic had no plans to upgrade the notator i would however make the switch to a dedicated editor to do my concert music. but with enhancements and hopefully some bug resolutions coming, i'm hanging in there. logic started out as a dedicated notation editor (it used to be called notator) and with relatively little effort, it could become a clear rival to either of the major notating platforms.
speed and flexibility is crucial to me. i have a philosophy of trying to throw out 90% of everything i write. the theory being is that if you keep your best 10% you will get the best you feasibly can. consequently, i really don't want to have to fiddle around trying to make edits to refine the basic draught. the arrange page gives me a great overview of structure and a lot flexibility to change things around. logic kicks the others into oblivion in this regard, and only stumbles in certain areas.
so if those areas were sorted out....
apple simply don't have a line of communication. they listen, but they don't tell us what they've heard, or what they believe. it can't last in my view, it is key to getting users to have faith in their product. how do we know when something goes wrong it is not something we are doing and not the program? for example, we have heard through some users on the forum who have heard from members of the development team that it is highly advisable to completely rebuild your autoloads from time to time, and particularly from previous version of logic.
well that's great, but it would be better to hear this officially on a website we can all point to with info like this on it. i cannot see any problem at all with them doing this, they possibly just need to make the decision to do it. so keep up the pressure and eventually something will happen.
