Brand-new iPhone 4 headphones have a mind of their own
Just recieved my iPhone 4 in the mail 2 hours ago, plugged in the headphones after loading music on, and found that gentle nudges to the headphones jack will cause the music to start, stop, change tracks, etc. This is pretty much unusable in current condition... third party headphones work fine but Apple ones don't. Anyone with the same problem? There's no Apple Store near me unfortunately...
Check the plug carefully, maybe there is a slight deformity on the plastic that prevents it from inserting fully or some dirt interfering with making contact. Or, if you use a protective case, make sure it does not interfere with inserting the plug all the way.

I have just received a brand new iphone 4 in the mail. I have plugged it in using the apple wall charger for around 3 hours now and it does not seem to be doing anything. Tried to plug it into the computer, again no response. Trying to turn it on has not had any success either. Should I be concerned that the screen is blank and not showing a charging symbol?? Have I missed some vital step in set up??
Thanks for your help!!!!Try resetting the phone:
Press the sleep/wake button & home button at the same time, keep pressing until you see the Apple logo, then release.
Then, launch iTunes & connect your phone...what happens? -
Clone stamp & eraser have a mind of their own!
I have recently moved from CS2 up to CS5, and am loving all the changes, however the last few days I have been in all sorts of trouble with the following issue.
When using the clone stamp, or eraser, or even a brush , the cursor keeps jumping half a screen away at odd times causing either whole sections to erased (when using the shift key) or cloning a part elswhere on the image.
This is really hard to explain, yet easy to demonstrate, but I first noticed it the other day when i was erasing part of a layer and holding down the shift key ....as I clicked along the curve I was erasing, after about the 3rd click it would fly off to another part of the image, OK not a catastrophe as all you do is back up one move, but it happens frequently. The same for detailed cloning ...I am cloning away and it the shoots off at a tangent...
I recently invested in a USB wireless mouse, which was great, and did wonder if it was the batteries running low and sending out wrong signals, but I swapped back to hard wired mouse, but the problem persisted - however it was not as frequent.
Its driving me mad as when I zoom out of an image i have been detailing, there are rogue patches on it where its jumped to and i havent noticed..
Any ideas?OpenGL is a system for displaying graphics, which when done properly leverages more of the power of your GPU than the normal Windows GDI can. Thus when enabled in Photoshop we gain access to smooth panning/zooming, brush gestures, and can even use it for some of the 3D work in Photoshop Extended. OpenGL is implemented in video drivers/firmware/hardware.
But OpenGL is very complex, and video driver updates come out all the time with fixes or enhanced OpenGL functionality. Some work better than others, and bugs in the drivers can result in some very strange effects. Sometimes new bugs are introduced.
Edit - Preferences - Performance, uncheck [ ] Use OpenGL Drawing. If this helps, your video drivers likely have bugs. They may be latest, in which case you'll need to wait for an update. Or get a different video card.
It is also possible that with OpenGL Drawing enabled, changing the Advanced settings can help.

Keyboard & track pad have a mind of their own
My G4 ibook 1.33 had developed a problem with characters moving at random, and the trackpad doing what it wants, when it wants. This is confusing to try and describe but I'll try. Bought this ibook in October 2005.
When I scroll through a page, it starts to highlight for no reason.
When moving over a hyperlink, it will click on it without me pressing on the trackpad clicker.
When signing into my e-mail, it will jump from screen name to password in the middle of my typing the screen name. Very erratic.
Example:
The screen name is: [email protected]
password is: mypassword,
What happens is that in the middle of typing the screen name, it will jump down to password, and sometimes actually click on the login button.
It will look like this: Password: johnsm password: [email protected]
This will also happen when I'm writing a paper, or e-mail. Sometimes my e-mail will be sent before I'm finished. It has a mind of it's own.
Does not matter if "Ignore accidental trackpad input" is checked or not. I've been keeping my palms off of the area around the track pad while typing lately, thinking that it might be a sensitivity problem, no change though.
Just had major work done by Apple due to a failing firewire port.: Repair was:
Product serviced by replacing the following: 630-759, PCBA, MLB, 1.33GHZ, Better, Q72b, NT EEET:43.
I also described the problem above to the Apple tech before I sent it out, but it's still exists. He mentioned open firmware problem might be present.
I puchased the ibook in October, 2005
Ran hardware test from original CD, passed, no problems.
Software up to date.Hi Nyj Shooter,
Have you tried changing your Trackpad preferences? Try going to System Preferences - Keyboard & Mouse - Trackpad. Try changing your settings around a bit. Under Trackpad Gestures, make sure Clicking, Dragging, and Drag Lock are not checked. Also under Trackpad Options, select Ignore Accidental Trackpad Input.
I hope that helps,

I have a brand new iphone 4s unlocked version from singapore and I am experiencing constant network fluctuations on my iphone , no service, call failed, invalid sim, sim failure, bars fluctuating from 5 - 3 - 2 - 1, no signal/bars searching etc... Ifeel miserable after trying out all the options changed multiple sims, tried multiple carriers, restored the phone back and have set-up as new device but the problem does not get solved... its is so frustrating that after investing on a world's most expensive phone you cannot enjoy the calling features which the phone offers which is the main thing you own the phone for.. Rest of the things are working.. The funniest part I am not able to make calls or receive calls but can access the internet.. I have tried every possible thing and really very frustrated with this iphone of mine...I hope the problem gets solved.. would anyone have any solutions to this problem.. Does it mean one should never update software as I hear that after updating to IOS.5.1 the problem has started coming and same has been with there.... Apple says its a hardware failure which is very difficult to digest as sometimes I get 5 bars and able to make and receive calls but 95% of the time I am unable to. If anyone has any solution I will be very happy if he or share can share the same. Many thanks. its so disgusting to experience this on top of this apple does not support global warranty for the phone as you need to go to the country from where you bought the phone for replacement.. Truly sad state of affairs.. very very very dissappointing.
Have a look at this it might help

I have a brand new IPhone 4G. I can't get it to ring. I have gone into settings and disengaged vibrate, and have engaged the ring button on side of phone. But everytime I dial my number from a different phone, it doesn't ring. Rather the call goes directly into my voice mailbox (ogm heard immediately); not even one ring! Please advise
Well, if it goes to VM immediately the call isn't reaching your phone, so no wonder it isn't ringing. Do you see a network displayed in the upper left of the screen? Have you activated the phone by connecting to a computer with the latest version of iTunes? Have you called your carrier to make sure they have provisioned it correctly?

I have a brand new iphone. All of a sudden it will not charge. When i plug the charger to the phone it says that charger its not compadible with my phone and sometimes it will charge up to 4% and then it wont charge any more. Why is this?
If your phone is still under warranty, get it checked by Apple or visit an Authorized Apple Service Provider to find out what the problem might be.
Could be the USB adapter, USB cable or the docking port of the phone.

I have a brand new iphone 5.. I can imessage and receive texts but can't reply or send new ones. Any ideas?
You can check this support document regarding troubleshooting Messages http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2755
However, SMS is a carrier function. You say that iMessage is working, so I would contact the carrier since it is SMS is not working. -

Have brand new iphone 4s. Wifi signal is very weak even when very close to router. I have also an iPod Touch and when both are side by side, the iPod wifi signal is excellent and the iPhone wifi signal is very poor??!!! Hardware issue? or software issue? I was hoping it is just a software issue, but...
Saw may web sites discussing this same issue; many discussions point to hardware problems but there is no official word from Apple about it, which is disapointing !?? Few discussions point to software problem with solutions based on try and error, and they don't seem to work.did not help at all; the problem continues the same

How can liquid indicator be red in a brand new iphone 6 plus when it's never been wet?
I have a brand new iphone 6 plus that turned off in the middle of a call I was on. It never turned on again. I took it to the store, they inspected the phone under the direction of an apple technician and could find NOTHING wrong with it. I shipped it to apple to be repaired, they just sent me an email saying the liquid indicator inside the phone is red. No kidding, this phone was only out of it's case for about 10 minutes and that was only because it took me that long to go buy the case. I know there has never been liquid of any kind anywhere near that phone. They said I have to buy another new phone. What will stop this from happening again?
There is not an Apple store closer than 2.5 hours away from me which is why they had me ship it to them. The AT&T guy that was helping me was on the phone with Apple and he asked the rep where the liquid indicator was on the 6+ and the Apple rep told him it was in the headphone jack. He initially looked in the SIM card slot but saw nothing, which is why he asked. When he looked in the headphone jack he said "it's completely white" to the Apple tech. It's funny you mentioned the humidity and having it in the bathroom while showering. I never would have thought such an expensive and highly regarded phone could be effected by something like that, especially when it in a full case. However, the tech I "chatted" with a little bit ago actually said this:
Cheryl:
"The phone doesn’t need to be submersed to have the liquid indicators turn red. My daughter caused her liquid indicator on her iPod by bringing it in the bathroom while showering."
Followed by:
Cheryl:
"If the humidity is very high it can cause damage yes. My rule of thumb I tell my kids is if your glasses fog up or there is condensation on the glass it could damage electronics that aren’t protected."
I copy and pasted that from the transcript that was emailed to me.
