Does it hurt the 4s to use the Home button to power on?

My on/off button has stopped working on my 4s.  I can turn it on with the Home button.  Will this cause any problems?

See what they say, but they will probably offer a replacement 4S for $199...be sure to make a backup, in iCloud if you can, before going in.  If they say you need a replacement, and you buy It, they can restore your stuff from an iCloud backup while you wait.

    Pressing the Home button and the sleep/wake or on/off button together until you see the Apple logo and then release is called a reset.
    If no change after a reset, the next step is restoring your iPhone.

  • How can someone use a stolen iphone? does erasing the phone (which I feel like I should do) make it easier for the thief to use the iphone?  If I don't erase it, it doesn't seem like anyone should be able to use the phone because of my password.

    how can someone use a stolen iphone? does erasing the phone (which I feel like I should do) make it easier for the thief to use the iphone?  If I don't erase it, it doesn't seem like anyone should be able to use the phone because of my password. Also, is it possible to retrieve anything that has been sent to the phone (i.e. text messages) since it was stolen through icloud? The "find my iphone" app says the device is offline but it rings when I call my number -- any idea how that would be the case? Thanks!!

    You have a password, so good move on your part.  Whether you erase it or the thief does, they still get to use the iPhone as theirs.  Which is more important (pick one), protecting your data or punishing the thief?
    Ringing occurs at the carrier.  Chances are you're going to voicemail after only two or three rings.  If you have an iCloud backup also a good move.  Re-read my question in the first paragraph.

  • I just purchased an extreme.  I have an express.  The sales guy recommended setting up a hot spot with the express and use the extreme as a base station.  What does he mean and how do I do this?  What are the advantages?

    I just purchased an extreme.  I have an express.  The sales guy recommended setting up a hot spot with the express and use the extreme as a base station.  What does he mean and how do I do this?  What are the advantages?  How do I set this up?????

    I think he means to set up the main extreme as the main router or "main base station", and then use the express to "extend" the network.
    You can look up the manual for your express here for more details:
    http://support.apple.com/manuals/
    Extend the range of your network by adding AirPort Express to your existing AirPortExtreme or AirPort Express wireless network (this is called a Wireless DistributionSystem, or WDS). "
    Extending the Range of an Existing AirPort Extreme or
    AirPort Express Network
    You can extend the range of an existing AirPort Extreme or AirPort Express wirelessnetwork by setting it up in a WDS. Wireless computers can connect to the network andshare the Internet connection, share files, and play network games. If you connect yourAirPort Express to your home stereo, computers on your wireless network can useAirTunes to play music on the stereo from iTunes. If you connect a USB printer to yourAirPort Express, all of the computers on the network can print to it.
    n Open the AirPort Setup Assistant on a Macintosh, or the AirPort Express Assistant on acomputer using Windows XP. Follow the onscreen instructions to extend the range ofyour AirPort Extreme or AirPort Express network.
    Note: Extending the range of a network using WDS may reduce overall networkperformance.

  • Does the iphone 6 use the same car charger as the iphone 5

    does the iphone 6 use the same car charger as the iphone 5

    My setup in my car is this: I have a 3-foot USB to USB extension coming out of my factory USP port in my vehicle, and attached to the end is a short Apple lightning cable. I ran this combo through the console and up and out by the steering column - with a Bracketron holder that clips into my vent. Worked great with my iPhone 5. I tried it with my iPhone 6 and after about 30 seconds of being plugged in (while driving) it said the accessory was not compatible. I unplugged and tried multiple times ... no dice. Today I went into my local Apple store and discussed it with genius. He said the iPhone 6 phones have an special chip inside of them that will detect third-party charging devices (in my case it was the USB extension). They did this because of some instances of fires with non-Apple lightning cables. I purchased a 6-foot Apple lightning cable, and replaced the old setup and it works fine now.

    After the Apple logo appears, what happens then? Can you hear any sounds or if you tap on the screen, does it seem like apps can open or are you just seeing a black screen? You might have a hardware problem, but you can try restoring the software and see what happens.

    Have you tried a reset ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds, after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

    "How does UCCX manage it’s database connections – a connection pool manager / single connection / single connection for each call"
    Does anyone actually know ?  Is it documented anywhere?
    Based on how the steps work I'd guess that the UCCX engine makes a new single DB connection each time the DB step reaches out the DB for a read/write. I assume it would do this independently for every instance of a script running.  Hence the importance of the DB release step I'm guessing.
    I know in the DB subsystem you can configure the maximum number of DB connections to be used but this doesn't imply how they are used.
    I'm not a DB guy, but I think the concern stems from the potential load on a DB server with the constant opening and closing of the DB connections.  I'm assuming that if it used a connection pool the UCCX engine would open, and keep open, a group of DB connections to be used by the UCCX engine. This would lessen the load on the DB server I'm assuming.
    Is there any fundamental difference with UCCX 8 and the DB access ?  It obviously not ODBC anymore.  It JDBC right ? But again how does the UCCX engine use the DB connection?

    To my knowledge, this is not documented; however, at least through 7.0 the MIVR subsystem will open a pool of ODBC connections equal to the maximum you defined and keep them open. If you set it to 50, you will see 50 open connections on the SQL server. Each script that is triggered will attach to one of the available connections as soon as you use a DB-related step and keep it until you use a DB Release step. Once that script instance releases it, the connection is available for another script.
    The behavior should not change with 8.0 as it is the same MIVR subsystem that is doing the work. My first CCX 8.0 project that needs database integration is still about 30 days away so I can't guarantee that though.

  • Why does it say headphones when i use the volume buttons

    why does it say headphones when i use the volume buttons instead of volume when the headphones are not plucked in?

    - Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so. There is a little switch in the headphone jack that disconnects the speaker when the headphone jack is inserted.
    Try the following to rule out a software problem
    - Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. Seems you have a bad headphone jack.
    Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
    If not under warranty Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for this price. They do not fix yours.
