Does it matter if my iPhone lightning charger is an apple product or not?

I want to buy this charger but it wasn't produced by apple, but it is for my iPhone. If I buy it and use it, will it cause any damage for my phone?

Maybe. Maybe not.
We have no idea what charger you're talking about.
Is it "Made for iPhone" certified? If so, it should be perfectly safe.
If it's not MFI certified, don't touch it.

HT4759 My "notes" made on phone disappear on charging phone using apple computer and not found on iCloud either...what setting do I need to adjust?

My "notes" made on phone disappear on charging phone using apple computer and not found on iCloud either...what setting do I need to adjust?

You got it.
Notes - if notes are created in icloud notes (you may have multiple notes accounts) - icloud notes and only icloud are synced over all your devices and icloud server, so if you want to see those on the server you can go and manage (edit) on www.icloud.com.
Since notes synchronize by using same IMAP email server - turning them "ON" will prompt you to create mail address.
To add to that you do not have 10.8 that has it's own notes app, so your notes go to Notes folder in your icloud/me/mac mail and synched by your mail server.

Can you turn in iphones for credit toward other apple products?

Depending on your country, you might be able to get an Apple Store gift card for its value. You can always sell it to someone other than Apple.

IPhone Lightning charger replacement

I recently bought an original apple 6.6' lightning charger cable from bestbuy and the end ripped and it is not working anymore. Is this product covered under my one year warranty? Also do I have to provide a recipt to have it replaced?

The lightning cable does have a warranty. You may have to provide a receipt to show when you purchased it, since it was not from an Apple store. Then make an appointment at the Genius Bar to see about the warranty replacement.

Third party lightning cable sold on apple online store not supported

Since I upgraded my iphone 5s to ios 8.1.1, my belkin lighning cable became an unsupported accessory
however with my ipad air still sticking with ios 8.0.2, the cable seems fine
been trying to contact with apple online service but they just won't stop telling me to restore my iphone.
did anyone come across this problem with any third party "MADE FOR IPHONE" certified lightning cables?

If Apple Support tell you to restore ,why do you think you know better ???
Restoring will likely resolve a corruption of the iOS as I expect you have used over the air to update previously
However if you know better ....................go forth

Does anyone want a 'new' iPhone 4S with 5.1.1 that WILL NOT keep a decent battery charge???????????????????????

APPLE...................#%@*$?!

If the battery is shot it can be replaced by you(out of warranty of course). Go to http://www.ifixit.com/iPhone-Parts/iPhone-4-Replacement-Battery/IF182-000?utm_me dium=frame_module_sidebar&utm_term=iphone_4&utm_source=ifixit_answers&utm_conten t=popular_device_products

IPhone 4 - Charging issues including "This accessory may not be supported."

So for the past couple of weeks, on and off, my iPhone 4 (2 years old) has been having intermittent charging issues. I have gone through four charging cords, all from Apple, and two charging blocks, both from Apple - none of these change/resolve the issue.
I had an online chat through Apple with someone a week ago, and she suggested resetting my settings only (resetting the entire phone was my husband's idea) - resetting the phone entirely did not resolve the issue, and resetting the settings (and only the settings) works for maybe 1-2 days maximum. Any of the following things happen when plugging in the phone to charge:
1) The phone charges normally (very rare anymore, happens more often if I reset the settings on the phone first then put everything back the way I want it)
2) The phone charges for maybe two seconds, then a message pops up that says "This accessory may not be supported." (8/10 times this happens, can usually get it to charge normally if I unplug and replug a bunch of times)
3) The phone makes the noise/vibrates like it is charging, but the battery percentage will go down over time. (rare, but does happen)
An Apple store visit is not exactly...possible? I live an hour and a half away from my closest one, and the location is not easy to get to (cross a bridge, pay $13 toll, $13 to get back over to go home, and that's just the way there and back...forget finding the place). I have cleaned out the phone at the charging port more times than I can count. My husband seems to think it is a battery issue...thoughts?

iOS 7 will give errors on non Apple certified peripherals. So make sure you only use Apple certified products. Did you backup the phone and then RESTORE AS NEW (not reset)? Try doing that by plugging the phone to iTunes on a computer. See if that helps. If it solves the problem, there could have been corrupted software on you phone. If not, it could be a hardware issue (including the battery), in which case you would need to go to a Apple Store or authorized service provider.
Use iTunes to restore your iOS device to factory settings - Apple Support

HT1975 Why does the location on my iphone show three different places when I'm not even there?

When I use the iphone app find myiphone- why does it sometimes show 3 different addresses and streets when locating the phone.

Because GPS is not perfect, especially when the device is inside a building.

My wireless does not work on my ipad or my iphone. It is connected and laptop and kindle both work. Any idea why my apple products are not picking up the wireless? They did in the past up until 2 days ago.

My iphone and iPad suddently stopped picking up my wireless connection. Other products are able to connect (laptop and kindle). Any suggestions?

Try resetting your wireless router by unplugging the router from the power for about 30 seconds then plugging it back in.

When i connect my iphone to itune, it shown Apple Mobile Device not yet started, cannot connect my ipone and itunes, why?

when I connect my iphone to the iTunes, it said "Apple Mobile Device" service not yet activated, service cannot start?
What does it mean? I connect my iphone to iTunes everynight, only tonight this message pop out?

You can try to start the AMDS by going to task manager (ctrl/alt/delete), Choose the services tab and right click on the AMDS and choose start service. This will sometimes work, but usually iTunues needs to be reinstalled. If you reinstall iTunes, follow this KB how to article --> http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1925

Message send failure when sending text message to none iPhones. Worked fine at apple store now not working for me again ( whether on wifi or cellular) what is wrong?

Why am I getting message send failure from my iPad to a non-iPhone

When I was in the Apple store on Friday with my iPad I asked the text the same question. we turned on my iPad and it allowed me to text text message anybody I wanted regardless of what the device. When I left apple store while I'm in the parking lot and I checked it again before I left the area and it still allowed me to text message anybody. Now it is not. And also I cannot email anybody from my iPad today to a non iPhone and that's wrong because until today I have been doing that for weeks. Hmmmm now what

Why is my iPhone sending iMessages through my apple ID and not my phone number?

So this question is actually about my friends iPhone 4... She and I text on a daily basis and we use iMessages. As of two days ago, every time I sent her an iMessage, it would fail and I would have to send it as a text message. Well we finally figured out it was because her iMessages were turned off (probably by her 2 year old daughter.) So she turned them back on and she sent me an imessage. But when she sent the imessage and I received it, I received the message from her apple id, not her phone number which is what I normally receive her messages from. Her and I can't figure out how to change it back to her phone number.. Any ideas?
Thanks for the help.

Have your friend go to Settings>Messages>Send and Receive and make sure that her phone number is checked. She can also remove the checkmark by her Apple ID email if desired.

I keep getting a display message saying this cable or accessory is not capitiable with this apple product may not be reliable with this iphone even when i have no cable or accessory in use

My iphone 5 has been saying this for days now. Yes I have recently purchased a motorola ear piece for easy talking while walking, but i have also used a 10ft cord purchased at walmart for months now and no display before the motorola. now even without anything plugged in ,I still get the display message on my phone saying" the cord or accessory is not capitable with this iphone and may not be reliable with this iphone.
what DO I do ?! is there something I can do without going to either Sprint or Apple for help.... will this be damaging to my iphone ?! HELP before its too late.
sincerely,
Apple lover JAJA

Try resetting your iPhone. Hold the on/off and home buttons together for about 10 seconds till the Apple logo appears.
CAUTION - This may get rid of the warning for now, but the issue the warning points out still remains. One or both of your cables is certainly suspect.

I think IPhones or all keyboards on apple products should have a swipe keyboard.

I think iPhones should have a swipe keyboard like androids.. I'm tired of typing they need to give something a new try so I said swipe keyboard

Tell Apple.

My iphone 5 is stuck in recovery mode. Followed apple support instructions...uninstalled and reinstalled all apple products. Not getting any error codes, just cord/tunes pic. Itunes is not recognizing my phone so I cant even restore. Pls help !

I just got this phone about 2 weeks ago. I was prompted to do an update and did it... then my phone showed the image of the wire to the itunes symbol... so it's in recovery mode. I have been working on this for hours! I read tons of apple support procedures and followed them to the letter.... HT1414, TS3125, TS1538 etc.
I uninstalled my itunes, quicktime... all the apple products like the instructions said. I reloaded everything and rechecked to make sure it was good. Driver is showing up good with no problems.
I would totally be fine with restoring it to the original settings... I've only had it for 2 weeks! But itunes won't even recognize the phone so I can't even hit the restore button. This is so frustrating. I am running windows 7... and I ran all updates like the apple support instructions said. I checked updates with Norton. All good. I did all the windows & norton updates before I uninstalled and reinstalled apple products. If I could only get itunes to even recognize the phone.
The phone is not jailbroken... it was fresh from the factory... then that update!
Please help. I am without a phone.

I may have fixed the issue. The errors in device manager were a driver error apparently windows didnt have appropriate drivers installed to allow itunes to recognize a device in recovery mode. I followed the paths in the guide above in more detail using this path ( http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538 under if device not recognized while in recovery mode) to alleviate the issue update is now installing appropriately ( i hope).
I will update if everything works correctly
