Frequent static electricity from my iPhone 6

I kept getting static electricity from my iPhone 6, just holding it on its own (ie not whilst charging the battery) as I type my texts or browsing the Internet. It hasn't got a casing on. Is this normal? It's happening quite frequently, and it's quite disturbing.

HI
I contacted Apple & did as below as advised & I got my contacts back.
Before I started I made sure that I had a Icloud backup for my IPhone ( which was before the problem started ).[ Settings > ICloud > Backup. ]
IPhone reset - by 'Erase all contents & settings...
after the phone starts, choose to restore from Icloud backup.. & choose the Backup you think is without the issue.
VERY IMPORTANT.. Once the phone restores from the backup & the Home screen comes, put the phone in Airplane mode Immediately.
Now go to settings > Icloud > put the contacts OFF. ( Keep the contacts )
Now OFF the Airplane mode & go to settings > Icloud > put the contacts ON & select Merge.
I got all my contacts back which was there until that Backup.
Thanks again - Apple support.

Can static electricity from a carrying case "blow out" a hard drive?

Can static electricity from a carrying case "blow out" a hard drive?
My one-month old MacBook Pro's hard drive died today. The Apple store employee said a number of things could cause it (like dropping it), but I have taken good care of it (never dropped it). The only thing I can think of is that when I take it out of the sleeve I have for it, sometimes I get a static electricity shock. Could this have blown the hard drive? If so, where can I get a nonstatic electricity case? (I got a new computer today.) Thanks!

It's quite unlikely that static electricity would affect the HDD. You may just have had a defective drive or there was some other event that damaged the drive such as leaving the computer running while in your carrying case or doing an abnormal shutdown or an electrical surge when it was connected to the AC adaptor, for example.

hi all ,
since 12 days i brought my macbook pro mc700 unibody , problem i've noticed that while i'm touching the laptop on the edge while the magsafe green and fully charged a static shock for me and for whom else touch it , i'm using my 3 prong power cord and the same thing in diffrent location , home,office and in dealer branch , that's my first time using macbook moving from windows and i'm shocked from first impression regarding MBP.

i went to the dealer in our country and tried the macbook but still the same shocked me and the tech. there ,when i tried to change the magsafe with spare one there it's works without any problem and without electric shock ,i'm thinking about changing the magsafe OR to buy the moshi sticker someone told me it's prevent the static electric shock.

It's not static electricity. It's a badly grounded outlet. It's harmless. Try plugging your charger into a different outlet or into a surge protector.

I recently upgraded from an iPhone 4s to an iPhone 5. I have a Motorola HX550 Bluetooth Headset which worked flawlessly with the iPhone 4s. However, since upgrading to the iPhone 5, I frequently lose audio when in the middle of a call. I am not certain whether it is a full disconnect or just an audio loss. The person on the other end reports still being able to hear me, however, I suppose they could hear me speaking over another source even if bluetooth disconnected. The loss of audio is always preceded by a quick shrill noise, so I can easily tell when it happens. All I have to do to fix the problem is to select Audio Source on the call screen, temporarily switch audio back to the iPhone, and then switch back to the headset, and then it starts working again.
Is is important to note that I am not the only one experiencing this issue:
This is a link to someone using the Motorola H19txt headset experiencing the same issue

If you go to the Plantronics website and look at the "Ratings and Reviews" on the Voyager Legend you will see the same issue reported:

Really nice Headset unless you own an Iphone 5. I own several Plantronics headsets and have always loved the quality/ performance. This headset seems not to be compatible with the new Iphone 5. In the middle of a conversation it will lose all incoming audio. This leaves you trying to switch audio sources really fast in order not to lose your phone call. Ive tried 3 legend headsets and they all do the same thing. Hopefully this gets fixed soon because the headset is really nice
Since this issue appears to affect multiple headsets from multiple vendors, I think it is fair to conclude that it is an issue with the iPhone5 bluetooth itself.
I am posting this as a new discussion as I don't see any other posts specific to this iPhone 5 Bluetooth issue. I would have reported this as a problem to Apple, but don't seem to be able to find a way to do this on the web. Hopefully they are already aware, but if not, maybe they will see i here.

here is an interesting thing: take the iphone and set lock screen to never. Now make an email with siri--be sure to activate her with call button. get to the body and get some text in there. then just stop talking. LOCK SCREEN APPEARS!!!!!! and of course you draft is gone.
There does seem to be a work around for some--maybe all these issues. Don't use the call button--use the buttons on the phone.
Siri seems to behave properly with scenerio above---sans call button. She does not go to lock.

How can I protect my MacBookPro from static electricity in my house?

Static Electricity coming from all parts of the laptop

I plugged my laptop to my usb printer and i noticed there was occasional static electricity emitting from all parts of the laptop except the touchpad and the keyboards. Its freaky. And it was strong enough for me to feel through my bare hands. My MBP was on battery and not charging at that moment. What should I do? Is it a malfunction? PS: I live in Singapore where it is humid and I dont have carpeting so it is not rubbed static.

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
Does it happen if youtouch your desk before touching your computer?
Does it happen if you connect your computer to a three prong outlet with the three prong plug that comes with it?
Do you have a surge protector or UPS you can connect it to?

I was told at the Apple store that I could simply plug in ( electric power) the Airport Express and it would find my wireless network. I hoped to use it as a way to play music from my iphone. I do not use other Apple routers etc,

The Airport Express is not finding my wireless network. I do not have any of the devices listed below. I have a Belkin wireless router. Can I still use Airport Express ( without plugging an ethernet cable into it) ? Any ideas for how to make it find my network ? It is sitting next to the wireless router-so is in range.
If you already have a wireless network in your home and want to extend its range, AirPort Express can help. Just place it in range of your primary base station — an AirPort Extreme, Time Capsule, or another AirPort Express — and near the area where you want your wireless connection. Launch the easy-to-use AirPort Utility app on your iOS device or Mac, and you’re mere minutes away from long-range Wi-Fi enjoyment.

Hi - you can do what you want to do with AirPlay from your iPhone - but unfortunately it is not as easy as the people in the Apple store told you - your first problem is that you have a non Apple router - you cannot extend a non Apple router wirelessly with the Express - you can only join the network and connect an ethernet device to it - you can however connect via ethernet and have it create a wireless network of its' own - you can set this up from your iPhone or the XP - but this is a complicated setup and would involve many different discussion areas of this forum - therefore I would suggest that you use your 90 days of support and consult directly with Apple to do this - go to this link - http://www.apple.com/support/contact/

TS2755 Frequently when I send text messages from my iPhone, the response comes to my IPad and not my phone. Why?

Very often, when I send a text from my IPhone, the response comes to my IPad. Why does this happen???

This is an iMessage, not a text message as in SMS/MMS via your cell phone carrier's network.
This means you have iMessage enabled on each device with the same Apple ID. This is by design and intention when using the same Apple ID on multiple Apple computers and iOS devices. I have iMessage enabled on my Mac, on my iPhone, and on my iPad with the same Apple ID and all my iMessages are kept synced between all three.

Static electric on the new iPad when charging

When I'm charging the new iPad, touching on the back cover will give static electric. Would it damage the device in long run?

Was gifted an Ipad missing an AC Adapter and cable. Bought new cable and adapter. Made the mistake of buying and using a 5 Volt adapter. Made the mistake of using the Ipad when it was being charged (plugged into the electric outlet). Made the mistake of returning and picking up the Ipad after walking across a rug. Blew out that 5 Volt adapter which no longer would charge another suitable (5 Volt correct) device. Bought 10 Volt adapter which would not charge my Ipad as well.
iOS devices charge of USB specification that means 5 Volts ONLY.
A 10 Volt charger would damage the device.
I believe you are confusing Watts & Volts.
Many USB chargers have a higher amperage (that means they can supply more current, not Volts). That translates to more Watts (overall power output).
It allows iPads to charge faster because they have more battery to fill.
The standard iPad charger is 10Watts (the spec isn't visible on Apple.com, so this is from external sources).
iPhones usually have chargers that supply 5Watts
The safest option…
Use an Apple charger that is rated for the device… as you can see Apple sell 5 Watt & 12 Watt supplies for iPads
http://store.apple.com/us/ipad/ipad-accessories/power (search for iPhone chargers etc).
None of this helps you speedgo, sorry. I don't know if static could cause issues. I would move it to another wall outlet, try other rooms - if it still happens take it to an Apple store & ask them for advice it may also happen at the store if the device or charger is faulty.

Usage of static electricity cleaner / brusher?

Hi,
I would like to ask if using a static electricity cleaner / brusher to remove dust would affect the iphone? I would usually turn the phone off during that.
Thank you!

Hi Japamac,
I live in a cave, but I think I will take your advice and cut back on the frequency. Is there a duster specially made for such? And if so, where can I get one? So, there is some sort of coating on the LCD screen? Thanks for the feedback.
Hi-
Where do you have the display that requires twice a
day cleaning? You're gonna wear it out, or, damaged
the coating on the panel.
Slow down, wipe less frequently, and get a soft LCD
panel dust brush for your all so often cleaning. That
won't harm the coating on the screen.

How to fix issues related to static electricity

I had my iPad connected to a headphone jack for an external player. There was a small static shock when I touched and unplug it. My iPad mini seems to now be having issues related to static electricity. I am clearly having a issue with the audio output thru the headphones. It works normal until the volume scroller gets to 3/4 up, then there is a very irritating static like noise mixed into the other outgoing sounds.
Also the battery seems to be losing power at twice or three times as fast as before. I've only had it a month and half. Can this be fixed somehow?

Hi
I have Iphne 4s/5.0.1 and I'm also stuck with same problem from last 5 days. I have restored/backup/updated the phone as many times as possible. I have been with Vodafone Customer Care (India) and now everyone knows my problem there, but there is no solution.
I have read and tried most of the solutions provided here. Please help me out.
Problem -
1. 3G / Edge working when restore as new phone
2. 3G / Edge stops working as soon as backup is restored
3. Copied and verified both of the files (8218978e4ab0a48035bb92653145a6be872ea858 (Restored new iphone & Restored backup iphone) have different settings. Replacing part of this file or even complete text of this file, changes the date/time stamp of file and on backup restoration it says "Corrupt backup" and phone restarts.
4. I dont want to Jailbreak the phone
5. Using any third party software to install new APN says "Only One APN can be installed"
6. Profile doesnt show any other APN
Is there any other way to delete this file (com.apple.managedCarrier.plist) or just change the section where in string value is "Portalnmms" to required value "iphone" along with key?
Please help me out.
thanks

Static shock from Sony TV HDMI

Hello all,
Whenever i touch my mac mini i get a electrical static shock. It is actually quite painful and annoying as i get shocked whenever i connect my iphone to my mini via the cable. I finally identified the culprit, the static electricity is coming from my sony bavria TV HDMI connection. So i called the Sony technician and he came to check the TV. He said it is normal for HDMI cable to carry static charge and there is nothing he can do.
Just want to check is this normal ??? because it is getting really annoying. My external hard drive i connected to my mini had crashed yesterday and i cannot help but suspect this electrical charge had damaged it.
Does anyone out there has experience dealing with this issue? HELP....... my mini is only a few months old and i really dont think its normal that it's electrically charged like this......

If you are absolutely sure that it is only a built-up static charge. Then it would be safe to connect an earth ground strap to either the TV or Mac Mini to drain off the static charge.
If you are really not sure if the built-up charge is static or some other electrical problem. Then do not take any chances, unplug everything and call a Certified Electrician to sort out the problem.

Why am I unable to send e mails from my iPhone, and get message rejected by server and message put in outbox. I have tried changing server ports but to no avail.
