Can Apple help me?

So I have had an Iphone 5s since April this year. A few weeks ago I was doing the dumb mistake of running down stairs, in flip-flops, while texting on my phone. One little stumble and "Crap" my screen is shattered. I am away at a school is Durham so I had to ship it home to my parents who said they would get it repaired so that is what I did. After a few days of getting it back I noticed that my phone would no longer rotate when put in different positions and there was a slight region on the screen that was "yellow tinted". The phone's battery is also starting to act wonky and I get maybe 4 hours of charge with 100%. I asked them if they got it Apple Certified repaired and they said yea, but just by looking at the phone I could tell that it wasn't "Apple" quality. Is there any chance that Apple will at least replace my battery for $80 if I explained to them the story or is spending hundreds for a new 5s my only option?
- Please help.

I suggest you start by obtaining the repair receipt from your parents. Then if indeed it was repaired at an Apple Certified place, check with an Apple Store to see what they will do. Bring the repair receipt.

A month ago my iPhone was stolen, I turned on Activation Lock but it never came out BUT an hour ago somehow my apple ID was changed and someone removed from the account both iPhone and iPad and the iPad was also removely wiped. Can Apple help me somehow?

A month ago my iPhone was stolen, I turned on Activation Lock but it never came out BUT an hour ago somehow my apple ID was changed and someone removed from the account both my iPhone and iPad and the iPad was also remotely wiped. As soon as I saw it I recover the password and return the access to my iPad. But iPhone is not registered for my apple ID any longer. Can Apple help me somehow? I have all the documents and the iPhone box. Will they lock the iPhone and return me access to it. I'm sure it's been attached to another apple ID.
PS. the apple ID I'm using on the discussons is not the hacked one.

Try contacting the Apple account security team and ask: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699.

Lost newly purchased Iphone5, Reported complain in police station but not getting proper responce. Can apple help me out for this?

Oh, don't worry. I know exactly. I'm a retired law enforcement officer after 30 years. I didn't mean for them to allow you to use the Internet, I meant for them to assign an officer to try and track the device for the victim. Again, that would require the victim to provide their Apple ID and password, which most would not want to provide.
Pinging the phone as you mention is only when there is probable cause and that is done through the carrier.
I'm glad to see someone also understand that a stolen cell phone is not as important to law enforcement as it is to the victim. It is unfortunate as smartphones get more expensive. Hopefully as iOS 7 makes it debut later this year, the work Apple has done will have some impact on smartphone theft. Other manufactures and carriers are starting to improve here in the states. It never was something carriers worryed about with blacklisting. This is where they were a step ahead in Europe.

HT1688 I have lost my iphone. I have my locator on. can apple help me find it?

I have lost my iphone. I have my iphone's locator on. Can Apple help me fine it? I have 30% battery life left on it.

The only way to locate/disable/erase any lost/stolen iPhone is through Find My Phone or a similar app. However, this requires that Find My Phone be setup/activated, on your phone, before it was lost/stolen. You would then login at iCloud.com & try to locate it. This requires the phone be turned on & have an Internet connection. There is no other way to locate a lost/stolen iPhone. Apple can't/won't help you, nor will your carrier. Report the loss to the Police, your carrier & Insurance company. Change all of your passwords.
If your carrier offers Blacklisting & they Blacklist the phone, it will be unusable as a phone.
If locked with a passcode, all a thief or whoever finds it has to do is force the phone into recovery mode & restore it. While this deletes all data on the phone, it also removes the passcode so the phone can then be used as a phone or touch.

HT201328 My carrier refuses to unlock my Iphone under any circumstances. Can Apple help me?

I purchased my Iphone 4 outright, without a contract from the Japanese Carrier Softbank. That means I paid the entire price upfront. They refuse to unlock the Iphone under any circumstances, despite the fact I am no longer in Japan.
Can Apple help me? I've checked out some unlocking services online, but the price seems a bit too high.
Thanks,
J.

No, Apple cannot help. Only the network to which the phone is locked can unlock it (if they choose to).
Nobody else can legitimately unlock it. Other services that claim to offer unlocks are hacks, void the warranty and prevent you from updating the phone OS in the future.

Unless Apple determines this is a hardware defect or they make an exception if caused by accidental damage, Apple will not help you as in exchanging or repairing the iPad for free.

Police don't "track down" lost items, per se. They'll keep your information on file in the event that someone finds your iPod and turns it in. Otherwise, there's nothing the police can or will do in regards to finding lost property.
Sorry, but your iPod is most likely gone for good.
Regards.

Stolen iPods....can Apple help?

My iPod was stolen...can Apple help get it back or something?

Dear with, sorry to hear about this, this is becoming more of a problem in the UK as well. If you have registered you ipod with apple, they may be able to give you a record of your serial number, but Brian is correct, call the police.

Can Apple help owners of 2nd Generation iPod touch upgrade the OS beyond 4.2.1?

Hi,
Can Apple help owners of 2nd Generation iPod touch upgrade the OS beyond 4.2.1?
If Apple cannot help us, what is the alternative without us hacking the device?

Even hacking it you cannot go further than the equivalent to 4.2.1. The only thing Apple could possibly do is add more RAM.

Locked on ios 5, can apple help?

Bought an iPhone 4 on Craigslist worked fine had no SIM. I recently update to ios 5 and I can't use without sim, can apple help or am I required to buy a sim card?

No iPhone can be activated without a SIM. You will need a SIM from the carrier it is locked to to complete the activation. That would be AT&T... It don't believe it needs to be "live".

Italian phone providers steal money - can Apple help?

As you can read here http://www.repubblica.it/tecnologia/2015/01/21/news/telecomunicazioni_da_antitru st_multe_da_1_7milioni_a_telecom_e_h3g_800mila_a_wind_e_vodafone-105468240/?ref= HREC1-3
italian TLC companies contribute to steal money from their customers by authorizing the withdraw of sums from the phone bill to third companies who assume to be "authorized" from the customer by simply clicking a banner or opening a sms received.
This happened to me too.
Beside the fines italian Anti Trust Authority in charging to the phone providers, can Apple help the customer to know and consequentially block the unwanted use of data traffic on the iphone, by tracking the internet activity of every single app? Something like the warning symbol of app using my position at the moment?
Thanks for the attention

Apple cannot help you, but you can help yourself. The phone shows how much data each app uses. Just go to Settings/Cellular.
The problem you have is a common one in many countries. In the US the government has made the cellular companies responsible for unauthorized charges on cell phones, and made the companies refund the money. You should petition your government to take the same actions.

Theft of pc - can Apple help track use of registered pc?

Our home was just robbed and our home pc which was the registered itunes account was stolen.
Can Apple help track activity in order to help locate the hardware?

A good idea would be to contact Apple's iTunes Store customer service and let them know your account has been compromised. It may not get your computer back, but at least your credit card number which you opened the account with could not be used to purchase items at the store.

I would also ask that the credit card number be changed by the credit card company.
