Apple does not warranty replacement phones!?

So I got my phone wet, and went to the apple store and paid for a replacement. The refurb had issues from day one with the power button, it stopped working in about a weeks time. I tried several time to get in but I have not been able to wait, with my schedule I dont have time to sit around for hours. I finally got in today, after waiting long past my appointment time and now they say it is out of warranty, and they list my original purchase of the phone as when the warranty started, and apparently dont warranty the replacement phone at all. I can believe Apple will not warranty replacement phones at all, that is just poor business.

I have owned at least 20 macs in my life, still have my old working 128k, several i devices and this BS is making want to switch for the first time in my 30 years.
So, one of out 20 devices has an issue... and that's enough reason for you to say, "I'm switching!"?
Um, okay. Good luck with that.
A replacement iPhone from Apple has a 90 day coverage. Apple Support or an Apple Store should be able to see the date of device replacement, even without a receipt. Talk to them again. Ask for a Manager or Senior Advisor.

I am aware that apple does not replace the battery for my ipod touch 4th generation, but I wanted to know if i purchase a replacement battery, can they recommend someone to replace the battery for me?

I have a ipod touch 4th generation, 32gb, purchased at least 3 years ago. It will not hold a charge, so I would like to purchase a replacement battery. Can the apple store recommend someone to install the battery for me once I purchase it from them?

Apple does not repl;ace the battery in your iPod. They exchange your iPod for a refurbished one with a new battery.
A third-party place like the following will replace your battery for less. Google for more.

Try the standard fixes to rule out a software problem:
- Reset. Nothing is lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory defaults/new iPod.
If you still have the problem that points to a hardware problem. Yu can make an appointment at the the Genius Bar of an Apple store or try:

Apple does not allow use of Adobe Flash with the IPad. Is it all right to use Bridgebaseonline with a Mac that is synched with an IPad?
Flash is not available for the iPad. If Bridge Base Online requires Flash, there's nothing you can do on the iPad, unless Bridge Base Online has an app in the iTunes App Store.
You may want to try an alternate browser like Skyfire or Puffin. No guarantees.
I have not been able to synch Ical and Iphoto with my IPad. I've been to the Genius bar 5 times and on the phone twice to try to resolve this problem.
iBook, Mac OS X (10.5.2), I cannot synch my IPad with IBook
This is a separate issue than what you stated in the subject. Syncing recent iPhones and iPads that have iOS5 on them require iTunes 10.5, which also requires OSX 10.5.8 on your Mac. Your profile says you have 10.5.2. If that is correct, you need to update to 10.5.8, then update iTunes to 10.5, if you haven't already done so.

My phone crashed and has an icon showing a usb cable and the itunes emblem. when I connect to itunes it does not recognize my phone and treats it as just iphone. when I try to restore about 9 to 10 minutes into the restore the phone turns off and then on

Be prepared to lose everything on your iPhone but it should be backed up in iTunes so you can restore from your backup.
Try Recovery Mode... http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808

My iphone 4s keeps shutting down on it's own and seems to restart itself. Pressing the home button or trying a hard reset does not turn the phone back on. Is anyone else having problems like this?

My iPhone 4s keeps randomly shutting down. It usually does this after it's been sitting in sleep mode for a few minutes. Pressing the home button or attempting a hard reset does not turn the phone back on. It seems to turn on on it's own. It has done this since I got it and seems to be doing it more frequently. I've only had the phone for about 2 months.

I have a 5 year old MacBook running OS X v10.5.8 Of course Apple does not provide an OS update and then other software apps won't update because the OS is obsolete. Is there a way of upgrading the hardware so the software can be made current?

The 2 places I’ve seen recommended most to buy reliable RAM are below. I have purchased RAM several times from Other World Computing and have always been very satisfied with the product and service. They have on-line instructions on how to replace the RAM. OWC has also tested RAM above what Apple states is the maximum. I now have 6GB installed on a early 2008 iMac supposedly limited to 4 GB and noticed an improvement.

HT204380 why apple does not provide iphone 4 ability to use facetime using cellular/3G data?

Why apple does not provide iPhone 4 ability to use facetime using cellular/3G data?

Because you can't. That's why.
No one here can address any question as to "why" Apple made the decision they did. We do not represent Apple.
Speculation is prohibited by the TOU.
The fact is, you can't do it. If that's not acceptable, then buy a new phone.

how the same app is for buy and in the other hand in android OS its free
Free Android apps are generally stuffed full of adverts that drain 75% of the phone battery. See:
http://www.zdnet.com/blog/hardware/android-app-ads-account-for-up-to-75-percent- of-battery-drain/19168
Would you prefer to pay $0.99 for an app or lose 75% of your battery life?

After installing iOS6 on my iPhone 4, iTunes does not recognize my phone as a device.

After installing iOS6 on my iPhone 4, iTunes does not recognize my phone as a device. It no longer appears in the left devices column. I keep getting an error pop-up from Windows telling me "MobileDeviceService stopped working and was closed."
Yes, I have the latest version of iTunes for Windows. And when I go into Preferences, it still lists my iPhone as a device back-up, and the date of the last back-up.
What can I do to fix this?

If your iTunes is the latest version, restart your computer and reboot your iPhone. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the iPhone restart. See if that fixes your problem.

IMessage does not show my phone number on iMac.

iMessage does not show my phone number on iMac. My family has 3 iPhones we sync to this computer and only the other two are available to checkmark in preferences on the iMac. I tried updating my profile online, but only my number is listed on my account. iMessages works fine on my phone. I've tried signing out and back in and rebooting.

Hi,
My Apple ID profile does not contain my mobile (well either of them actually) number it make no difference to iMessages.
To get an iPhone Number on the Mac the Apple ID must be added to an iPhone AND when you get the Pop ups on the Mac they should be accepted.
If the the Apple ID is on the iPhone check it is set for Messages and not just iCloud.
Check it is also set as a Send and Receive item And that the iPhone Number is itself (this should be greyed out so you can't turn it Off).
If the apple ID is missing then add it.
If the iPhone Number seems to be turned Off then Remove the Apple ID
Set the iPhone to Airplane Mode.
On taking it out of Airplane Mode check the iPhone Number is active for iMessages and Verifies and logs in.
Check by sending a Message to the Apple ID so the Mac sees it.
Now add back the Apple ID and make sure that verifies.
Now restart the app on the Mac.
this should prompt the Pop ups.
Accept these to add the iPhone number to the Receive At list (It will also be added to the Send From drop down list)

I have another apple ID but I forgot the password and apple does not send the link to reset it to my email. What do I do to have it back?

I have another apple ID but I forgot the password and apple does not send the link to reset it to my email. What do I do to have it back? It is really important.

If you know the answers to your security question for the ID you can use that method to reset the password rather than email (by going to https://iforgot.apple.com/password/verify/appleid).
If you don't, you'll have to contact iTunes Store support for assistance: http://www.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html. They frequently deal with Apple ID issues.
