Can I use my iPhone in the rain?
Yesterday I was with a friend who has had their iPhone 4 (White, 16GB) for around a year and a half, and it happened to be raining and they used the phone without any worries. They told me that they use it in the rain without worry and they are yet to experience any water damage.
Would it be acceptable for me to use my black iPhone 5 16GB in the rain without worrying, or is my friend just lucky?
Of course you can use your iPhone in the rain but since devices are not waterproof, nobody in their right mind would recommend it. The risk is yours and an out-of-warranty repair might cost more than a few bucks.
I highly recommend you read this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3302
And some kind of a protective casing if you insist on using the device in the rain.
Live long and prosper!

Yesterday I used my iphone in the rain. I think some water must have got inside. Now the phone seems to be working OK but is not backlit so is incredibly hard to read. Is there anything I can do to reset or have I ruined the phone?
What you should have done is immediately turn the phone off, then put it in a ziploc bag of dried rice after you wiped all visible moisture off the phone. Leave it in the ziploc bag for 3 ~ 4 days, then turn it on & hope things work OK. It may be too late to try the dry rice trick now, but you can give it a shot if you like.
Apple does have an out of warranty replacement program, cost in the US is $199 for the 4S & $149 for other models. -

Can I use 2 iPhones with the same iTunes account? help...
At the moment I have an iPhone 3G but my wife doesn't. I have a Windows Vista machine at home that has all our music in iTunes and all the apps I have downloaded from the app store. We only have 1 login to our windows vista PC that we share, we don't have individual signons.
On Friday I will be upgrading to the 3Gs and my wife will also be getting one.
My question is can we sync both iPhones with the same PC using the same Windows login and the same iTunes account, i.e. share all music and apps with both iPhones?
ThanksA computer can sync a dozen iPods and/or iPhones (just saying).
However, You can't use more than one computer for that iPhone. -

Hi, we have two iphones with two accounts. The apple tv automatically syncs with one account to play music from the iphone to apple tv. How can I use my iphone to do the same?
Our experience is a little different, we have different iTunes accounts for different family members, each family member has their own iTunes library on their own mac, each mac uses my Apple ID for homesharing and we are able to play purchased content from each library on the Apple TV.

I have an iPhone 4S and an iPad2, can i use both chargers in the iPhone and iPad, they have different amperage...
You can use your iPad charger to charge your iPhone 4S. Not recommended to use your iPhone charger to charge your iPad. So, use your iPad charger to charge both.

Can i use my iphone 5 charger for the ipad air
Can I use my iphone 5 charger for the ipad air?
It's really not recommended. The iPhone's 5w charger does not output enough current to properly charge the battery. It -may- charge but if it did, it would charge the iPad very slowly.
This would be like trying to fill a bucket of water (iPad) with a squirt gun (5w charger)
Also under iOS 7, the charging requirements are much stricter than iOS 6. You'll likey get an error message if you try. -
I have a problem with my iPhone 5 stopped working the sleep / power and simultaneously refused to obey the HOME button. I can not use either one or the other. I can not enable or disable the device, display lights up when you plug the charger. same display works fine as it is surprising. or maybe someone knows what is the reason for this? is there any way to solve this problem?
More than likely its a hardware issue, I have never encountered such a problem and best bet is to just go get it replaced. If you have insurance on your device apple will replace it as long as there was no water damage, if you dont have insurance they will charge $200 more or less. Hope you get it fixed

I synced my iphone with my PC and now I can't use my apps on the phone. All software is up to date. Any suggestions?
Did you check the box that says 'Synchronize Apps'? This happened to a friend and after she enabled this synchronization she was able to use her apps as she did before.

What exactly does getColumnCount() mean?
Calling getColumnCount() on JTable and TableColumnModel returns the number of columns being displayed. On the other hand, TableModel's getColumnCount(), if I'm correct, should return the number of columns actually in the data. My question is, if I ha
