Big shock from iphone 4s charging
Hello guys,
Since some years i get tiny electric shocks from macbook pro and iphone.
Well today was something hard. i pluged my iphone 4s on my home computer. i noticed i received some tiny shocks again, but since today is very hot i take out my shoes. then the iphone stared ringing cause someone was calling me, when i pick up the iphone.. OMG!! i droped it imedialty on the ground making some scratchs on the screen!! and if i dont touch the ground with my feet nothing happen!
Now what can i do? call apple? ive seen some early posts about this but none helped me..
I would apreciate alot some awsner.

There is a short curcuit to the case of your home computer from its power supply, making the case itself (and anything plugged into it) electrically HOT. You should shut down the computer and unplug it until this problem can be fixed. This is VERY DANGEROUS, especially in Europe with its 220 V standard AC distribution.

Apple headset unpairs from iPhone after charging in dock
After the first charge after buying the headset, it auto-paired to my iPhone when charging in the dock and worked properly afterwards. The next time I charged both in the dock, the headset would not pair to the iPhone afterward. The only way to re-pair was to turn off bluetooth on the phone, power off the headset, turn bluetooth back on, and power up the headset. Then the next time I charged them in the dock, same problem. I took my headset back to an Apple store thinking it was faulty, but the Genius explained that he has exactly the same behavior with his and it's just a fact of life with the Apple BT headset. My husband was given one for Xmas so I tried it out with my iPhone and, as expected, same problem. I'm surprised not more people are talking about this in these forums. Having to go through a annoying 4-step process to re-pair the headset after charging is absurd.
Message was edited by: disconnektI was having the same problem, but I discovered a fix! I am using an iPhone with 1.1.3 firmware. Okay here goes.
1. Turn off Bluetooth on the iPhone and turn off the headset as well.
2. Plug in the iPhone and the headset in the dock. Make sure that the dock is plugged in to your computer via USB. Bluetooth should come on automatically and the headset should pair as well, but the bluetooth symbol will be grayed out, i.e. not connected.
3. Remove the bluetooth headset from the dock.
4. Unpair the headset from the iPhone via Settings - General - Bluetooth. Turn off bluetooth once you are done unpairing.
5. Turn off the headset.
6. While the iPhone is in the dock, reboot the iPhone.
7. Once the iPhone boots up, plug in the headset in the dock.
Voila... the bluetooth should come on automatically and the headset should pair as well, but this time the bluetooth symbol will be lit up, i.e. bluetooth connected.
Not done yet... remove the headset from the dock. The bluetooth symbol on the iPhone will go off, i.e. grayed out. Wait a few seconds and hit the button on the headset once and the bluetooth on the iPhone will reactivate and connect to your headset.
Hope this helps!

Recover videos from iphone after cut and paste from windows explorer?
From windows explorer Iphone Internal Storage, I used cut to transfer 2 big videos from iphone to windows, but the videos are corrupted now in windows, and no videos in iphone! There is any way to recover them? thanks...
When you came across this case, you should be careful to recover Video on iPhone.
1. Fish your iPhone out of the water as quickly as possible.
2. Dry it off with a towel or something similar. If it is still on, turn it off immediately. Note: running power through wet electronics can damage them beyond repair.
3. Remove the battery, SIM card etc off the phone. If possible, remove the rear glass panel too. Apple uses two special 5-point Pentalobe screws to secure the back.
4. Grab a bowl and fill it with uncooked rice or you can also put your iPhone 5 in with a bunch of silica packets.
5. Bury the iPhone in a bowl of rice and cover it up.
6. Last step is: wait day or two.
The google+ teach you how to recover video from iPhone: https://plus.google.com/106752978783334975190/posts/RL9EhQcLgEx
After this, you may chech your iPhone, if it is damaged, you should recover lost file from iPhone, it may be recover, if you are lucky. -
my cable doesn't work after two months I bought my iphone 6. Whether could I get a new one from apple free charge?
It's covered under the same warranty as the phone. So long as it's not physically damaged, they should replace it for you.

My Iphone car charger is not charging again. This is the second one I have bought from the Apple store and they are not cheap anyone else have problems?
I have taken it back to the Apple store genius bar, but they say they don't see anything wrong. Well unless you use it all day and experience the problems when they happen, you wont see anything wrong. But there are lots wrong with it. But this would be the same store as I purchased the phone. And they backed up my old Iphone 4, but were not able to get anything to load back onto my new phone. So, I lost pretty much everything. But over time, some of my contacts have started showing up, although i am still missing over 800 of them.

@wetdro
If your device has been jailbroken during the warranty, Apple will not service it.
Maybe you missed that in this article:
Inability to apply future software updates: Some unauthorized modifications have caused damage to iOS that is not repairable. This can result in the hacked iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch becoming permanently inoperable when a future Apple-supplied iOS update is installed.
Apple strongly cautions against installing any software that hacks iOS. It is also important to note that unauthorized modification of iOS is a violation of the iOS end-user software license agreement and because of this, Apple may deny service for an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch that has installed any unauthorized software.

Will an Apple Iphone 3g charge from a Powered USB Hub while the computer is
Hello,
Will an Apple Iphone 3g charge from a Powered USB Hub while the computer is sleeping?
I have a Motorola SLVR L7, two BCK-08 Bluetooth Stereo Headsets and two iPower Secondary iPhone batteries that all charge from my Powered USB Hub while my main computer is sleeping.
It would seem that my iPhone 3g will not charge from a Powered USB Hub while the computer attached to it is sleeping?
Is there any way to get an Iphone 3g to charge from a PoWeReD UsB HuB while the computer it is attached to is sleeping?
I'm thinking in terms of greening things ... but this is making me leave a 170 Watt computer running while I sleep ... I don't use the computer much while asleep ...
Thanks for your time,
BobbyHow 'linux' is OS X?
In linux you can get a lot of USB information by typing "+lsusb -v+"
or through "/proc/bus/usb/devices"
(but they would both list everything connected via USB)
if you knew the vendor and device id you could type as an example
+(laptop:/proc/bus/usb) # lsusb -v -d 050d:805c+
+Bus 001 Device 008: ID 050d:805c Belkin Components+
+Device Descriptor:+
+idVendor 0x050d Belkin Components+
+idProduct 0x805c+
+bcdDevice 0.01+
+iManufacturer 1 Ralink+
+iProduct 2 802.11 n WLAN+
or
/proc/bus/usb/devices
+T: Bus=01 Lev=02 Prnt=03 Port=02 Cnt=01 Dev#= 8 Spd=480 MxCh= 0+
+D: Ver= 2.00 Cls=00(>ifc ) Sub=00 Prot=00 MxPS=64 #Cfgs= 1+

+S: Manufacturer=Ralink+
+S: Product=802.11 n WLAN+
+C:* #Ifs= 1 Cfg#= 1 Atr=80 MxPwr= 4mA+
In windows under details it lists the parent ID (port above) so if you found the USB port the iPhone was connected to ... you could find the hardware and vendor id or name of the hub it was plugged in to ...
I'm thinking it might be easier and more positive to start a thread requesting that anyone who has an iPhone that will charge from their computer through a USB Hub while that computer is sleeping ... but I don't know if I can start a thread with a title that long ... -
Ways to prevent my iPhone 5 charger from breaking
I've gone through 2 chargers in 6 months. They broke the same way, the end where the cord meets the plastic. When it breaks though, it also breaks the wire somehow as well.
http://i43.tinypic.com/5vys9f.jpg
I've seen a way where you just put the spring on the charger, but the thing is that my chargers don't bubble at that end, ever,.
I'm on my last charger and I surely don't want to break another one again, as chargers are REALLY expensive and I don't want to purchase another one.
Any advice?Ways to prevent my iPhone 5 charger from breaking
You handle the cord more carefully. You don't jerk on the cord. You pull the cord out by grasping the plastic end piece. You don't bend the cord at sharp angles. All common sense (you would think) stuff.
I have had a lightning cord for two years for an iPad and iPhone and have yet to have a cord fail. The problem is not the cord it is the way the cord is handled. And to be specific, you have not gone through chargers, you have gone through cords. Distinctly different devices. As for expensive, a new cord is $19.00. -

Applications no-longer syncing from iPhone to iTunes
I've had an iPhone 4 since December 2010. Up until a couple of weeks ago it was syncing happily with iTunes and apps purchased/downloaded on the iPhone were transferring over to iTunes every time the phone was connected and a sync initiated. (although, sometimes multiple syncs would be required to make sure all apps transferred; but 'new' apps would appear in the library)
A couple of weeks ago this stopped. I plug the phone in, select "sync" or "transfer purchases from iPhone" -- the progress bar at the top shows "copying [app name]" and goes through the process for all my new apps. It tends to hang on the last one for 20-30 seconds, before moving onto the rest of the sync process.
After the "sync complete" message comes up, I check the library (and the file system) and none of the apps it said it was copying have been transferred. A re-sync or re-transfer of purchases shows it copying the same apps over again -- with the same result; nothing appearing in the library.
I have, therefore, taken to duplicating my downloads in iTunes; if an app is downloaded in iTunes it seems happy syncing that back to the phone (and recognising that the app on the phone is the same as the one in the library).
However, I'm now in a situation where a bunch of apps will not let me download them without re-purchasing. (i.e. I click on them in iTunes and get the "You WILL be charged for this purchase" message rather than the "you've already bought this, download it free")
Apps previously downloaded and in the library transfer back to the phone without problem. It's just that apps downloaded on the phone will not transfer.
I have de-authorised and re-authorised the computer. I have upgraded to the latest versions of the iOS and iTunes (at time of writing that's 4.3.1 and 10.2.1.1). I have cleared sync history. I've deleted and recreated backups. I've turned auto syncing off and on.
I have not tried the following:
1)uninstalling iTunes and re-installing it
2)syncing the phone with iTunes on a different computer
3)restoring factory settings on the iPhone (surely this would lose me all the applications, including the ones I'm being told I have to re-pay for)
4)deleting my iTunes library (I do have a backup, but, would it let me delete all the apps and then re-import them from my backup? That said, the backup is missing the apps that won't transfer)
With most of these, I've not tried it because "I fear I will lose everything"
As far as I can tell, these problems started occurring when I moved my iTunes library to a removable drive (I have a 180Gb hard drive on my laptop, and coming up to 60Gb of it was being used by iTunes - so I transferred this to a 500Gb removable drive that I make sure I plug in (and has the correct drive letter) prior to starting iTunes or any syncing process)
I've tried resetting the library location to the default -- it made no difference.
While I'm "okay with" buying apps on the computer and then transferring them, it isn't ideal -- or the easiest solution; plus it doesn't sort out the apps that are currently refusing to transfer and are prompting for a re-purchase.
My system is Windows Vista 32bit, 4Gb memory; 500Gb removable drive, 180Gb local hard-drive.
Any ideas? Thank you in advance.As no-one has anything to add (yet); I'll add that this morning I've updated the iOS version to 4.3.2 (which appeared as available over the weekend); currently I'm still unable to transfer purchases (this includes things that I'd previously purchased, transfered to the phone and updated). Additionally, the first few attempts to sync following the update gave me the "not enought space to sync apps" message -- this is dispite itunes reporting around 0.30GB to 0.70GB prior to the sync attempt, and around 1.5 GB following the failed "not enough space" sync. (Right now I'm running a sync again and it looks like iTunes is reporting a correct/realistic amount of space)
I've not heard anything back from anyone at apple (I flagged the stalling apps in the iTunes app store, which seemed to be the recommended thing to do for apps that were "previously purchased but not available freely to download"); and by the lack of responses here I'm getting the feeling I'm the only one with this problem.
If something simple like deauthorizing iTunes, uninstalling iTunes, rebooting, re-installing and reauthorizing iTunes would fix it (and wouldn't lose any of my music, apps or videos) then I'd be happy to do that. Again, if I could do a factory settings restore on the phone and have it fixed (and I could get apps and in-app content back without a re-purchase) - then I'd be happy to do that too.
If the solution would be to use a new install of iTunes on a different computer (authorized as myself, auto-syncing of devices turned off); and then use a "transfer purchases" to copy all the apps (including the problem ones) to the new library -- then using removable media, transfer them back into my library proper -- well -- I'd do that too (I'm sure I can borrow a work PC for a couple of hours to install/transfer)
My big problem is that I've had no feedback as to whether anything like this would help; whether my purchases would be okay -- and so on. I also don't know why this problem is occuring; is it tied to the problem apps -- if I simply delete them, will the iPhone suddenly start syncing like it used to; or is there someother problem there that I'm not seeing? (As it's now the case that NO apps purchased on the iPhone will transfer, will it simply be the case that all I'll have done is removed a bunch of apps that I can't get back and have the problem still exist?)
Once again, any ideas?
