Can't lock iphone and buttons stuck ???

i have an OG iphone and it has been fine until now.
it wont lock using the top button and the ringer volume button is faulty and just keeps increasing in volume.
restarted it and now it wont go past the apple symbol,just keeps looping....

i had this same problem but i had dropped my phone on the top button which was stuck down.... first plugging it into my computer or into a charger... this will turn it on but it wouldn't last... finally i took the sim card out and took a paper clip and looped it and pushed the button up myself... it actually worked!! i don't know if this helps you at all but i thought i would share what worked for me b/c i was so glad and i was sorry to see your problem.

Just converted word to PDF so that I can save on iPhone and subsequently use. Where is the file??

Just converted word to PDF so that I can save on iPhone and subsequently use. Where is the file?? I have no idea where it is!! Extremely frustrating and not at all user friendly!! Took my 6.99 British pounds and not a sausage to be had!!

It sounds like you may have purchased a CreatePDF subscription through safari, using our web interface. If this is the case, the good news is that subscription will also work with the (free) Adobe Reader. Simply install the Reader from the App Store:
https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/adobe-reader/id469337564?mt=8
Once installed, you can then use "Open In" from another app like Mail to open the Word document in Adobe Reader. Reader will show the word doc, but it will also show you a message pointing to the "convert" button (A document with an arrow through it in the toolbar). Pressing this button should prompt you to sign into Acrobat.com. Use the same account you used to purchase your subscription and Reader will upload the word document for conversion, placing it in the Acrobat.com and Outbox section of the Reader. Please let me know if you have trouble!

No.
If the iPhone is running iOS 7, activation lock included with iOS 7 will prevent someone from restoring the iPhone or completing the process.
If the iPhone can be restored, it cannot be restored from the iPhone's backup - only as a new iPhone or not from the backup.

Pls i tried to update my iphone, but the itones can restore my iphone and now its not coming up again, it can restore and its just displaying itunes logo and USB cable, pls i need your assistance and advice.

Hello Richyfromnig,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
The iTunes logo on the phone means that it is in what's called recovery mode. Take a look at this article to find out more about recovery mode, and how to fix it:

Follow the prompts on your iPhone and you will get either at your home screen like normal or get to a point of restoring from back up. The article below will give step by step for restoring from back up.

If I lost my iPhone and it's locked and the person that took it can't get in, is there any way I can recover this iPhone and is there anyway Apple can help?

I lost my iPhone and its locked is there anyway that they can hook it up to there computer and get access? Also, Apple can help by using my Apple ID number, right?

If there's a passcode on it(good for you!), then whoever stole it can only access your information if they can guess your passcode. However, they would likely get it disabled before guessing correctly, and be forced to Restore it. At that point, your information would be wiped off the device.
And Apple can do nothing to help you, unfortunately. If you did, however, set up "Find My iPhone" before you lost it, then you can track the device. If not, then sorry - you're probably not getting your iPhone back.

Having multiple iDevices, messaging is becoming a nuisance. I can disable on iphones and iPad, but but I'd still like texting on macbook pro but not group. How to disable, other than delete app?

Ok, new to this, sorry for long title, thought I was in text/message part. I have two iPhones, and iPad, and a MacBook Pro. Invoking messaging and receiving on two iPhones and an iPad was cute in the beginning but now it's beyond useful. i've solved the problem on iPhones just by turning off messaging, but find nothing in settings to turn off messaging on the MacBook Pro. I'm assuming that turning off messaging on my phones reverts to SMS tho' not sure what Apple uses if not SMS.
I do not want iPhone messages being received on my MacBook Pro. How do I de-authorize, can't seem to find anything in settings and don't want to delete MESSAGE.APP as who knows if I want it in future.
Thanks in advance. All deviced up to date with software, and am using Mt. Lion on MacBook.

HI,
The iOS Messages app send either iMessages or SMS depending on the receiver.
If it is Off then you can't send SMS either.
Turn Messages back On in the iPhone.
Go to Setting > Messages > Send and Receive and delete the Apple ID (And any other email) you listed for iMessages
You will get a warning alert that the ID will be deleted across all devices (and it included Messages on the Mac)
The Messages app on the Mac can have iMessages turned Off.
Two ways to do this.
Simplest is to go to Messages Menu > Preferences > Accounts and Untick the Enable this Account Box.
The second is to use the Sign Out Button (in OS X 10.8.2 which has updated Messages to version 7.0.1)
The Second logs you out and removes the Apple ID from the iMessages Account settings.

Can you lock messages and other apps now with touch id?

Here is all we currently know about iOS 8:

We will have to wait until iOS 8 is released to find out anything else.

Can a locked iPhone 4s be used as a iPod?

Hi,
My car has Lockpick which interfaces my iPhone 4 to the stereo. I like how it works.
I want to upgrade to an iPhone 5s but the new interface won't work with my car. Since my iPhone 4 memory is filled with songs (32g) I was thinking of getting a used iPhone 4s 64g and using it in my car exclusively. There's no reason to make calls anymore since I'll be using it mostly as a disk device.
Question... Can I buy a "locked" iPhone from eBay, which sell for less than working phones, and use it as a iPod touch? Plus bluetooth and wifi.
To clarify, I'd like to buy a locked phone, connect it to my Mac, download songs, then play them in my car (which uses a wired connector via the 30 pin interface).
I assume I might need to put my iPhone 4 32g (which is my current phone) sim into the locked iPhone 4s 64g I plan to buy used.
And again, the lockpick (tm) interface in my car won't work with the new iPhone 5s, I don't want to use it even if I could. I'd rather install a no functioning phone/computer permanently in my car.
Thank you for any advice you can offer.

So if I unserstand you correctly there are two types of locks. One from the carrier (which can be circumvented with another valid sim) and a device lock from apple (Bricked?) which can never be undone.
Actually there are other types of locks, but the only ones you'd need to worry about are the lock to the carrier and the Activation Lock.
Is there a visual indicator of the perminent lock on the screen?
No. There is no indicator of any type of the carrier lock. You won't know until you try to use another carrier's SIM. You'd find the Activation Lock if you tried to change the iCloud settings or erase or restore the iPhone. If Activation Lock is set, it would insist on the previous owner's Apple ID and password.

IPhone Power Button Stuck

I currently have an iPhone 4 which I have had for around 7 months and the power button is stuck. I would just like to know what apple will do if I take it to an apple store?

Same thing happened to my iphone after it fell out of the poorly designed Griffin Elan leather holster case. Power button stuck on, phone cycling until dead. I read about the disassembly to fix, but figured that was out of my comfort zone.
I fixed it though, sort of.
I took an old Bic disposable razor and using a pair of wire cutters, I trimmed away the blade protector , leaving the plastic base and blade protruding. I broke off the handle and had a makeshift thin razorknife-like tool.
I inserted the corner of the thin razor blade between the metal case and the plastic button and pried the button up. Took two tries and the button was no longer stuck in the down position. The phone works now!
Of course, if I try to push the button back down it will probably stick, but I didn't usually power it off very often anyway.
I might try to grind the case with a dremel tool or something like that to keep if from sticking, but haven't tried that yet.
Hope this helps someone else.

Can't get iphone and ipad to tether

I have an iphone 4s and an ipad 2 running the latest ios and my O2 tariff includes tethering with 3G or wifi.
It used to work fine tethering the ipad to the iphone by turning on personal hotspot on the iphone and finding it with the ipad when away from wifi.
Now, it appears normal and reports a connection to the hot spot, and the ipad displays the little chain icon to show it is connected to the iphone, but I can't get a page to load. It eventually times out.
I have tested tethering using both wifi and 3G and it doesn't work, but both gadgets work fine withthe internet on their own, and the iphone's 3G also works fine on its own. I have also tested in different locations with the same result. I am nowhere near my data limit for my tariff.
Somehow it no longer works.
Any advice would be appreciated.

I saw that I can order an iPhone and they will connect it to my Verizon change any Verizon Settings I want, etc.

I saw while surfing that one can arrange to have the Apple Store get their new iPhone up and running uing my Verizon, which is my carrier settings, set the phone up, give some explnation on how to use it (which I need since I have never had an iPhone), and can't remember how they worded it but it said something like use the product discounts available to the customer, set the minutes, data device amounts, text, etc. I have no idea if they charge for this, but since everytime I look at the Verizon iPhone area the day for the next available iPhone keeps getting pushed out a month or so. I have no idea if the New Every Two, whcih I have $50 coming from the data device line and $35 from the cell line, would also count and be given at the time of the set-up and somehow get the money back from Verizon.
I have no idea if a Mobile Hotspot like the MIFI 4G is worth having anymore but when I got the MIFI 3G it was awesome to drive across the Statesaand hook my MBP up to the MIFI and surf no matter where I was. Can the iPhone do this now? Can the iPhone act as a Mobile Hotspot like the MIFI2200 3 or 4 g I had but until I got out of SLC I was always running into trouble. Can the smartphones, especially the iPhone act as a mobile hot spot? I heard when they first came out they were one day going to allow one to be able to I think it is called tethering from the iPhone to another device, in this situation the MBP? anybody know if the iPhone can be used as a mobile Hot Spot if I hook up my MPB to it somehow and use iot to surf?
any recommendations with this service?
the URL, although I have seen it change 3 times in the last 4 months but today it isat
http://store.apple.com/us/browse/home/shop_iphone/family/iphone/iphone4
Since I already have a Verizon account with both lines the contract has been ovr for a year. any recommendations on this service and if it is worth it?
thanks for your advice/recommendatons or suggestions.

I should say before everybody else does I never learned how to type and barely learned how to write and spell so I probably should have done this some other way. Sorry.
