Getting a replacement iPhone, would apple let me choose a different colour?

I am getting a replacement iPhone soon due to it being damaged through liquid. They have told me that it would cost £130 for a replacement and I have no problems in paying that.
At the moment i have a white 16gb iPhone 4s, but would apple allow me to choose a black iphone as a replacement instead. Just wanted to know guys..

Apple will not let you change the color, they do everything based off Serial numbers and modle numbers, if theres a mistake in there then it would cause a lot of issues on their side for tech support, and apple doesnt sell refurb iphones as well, your best method is to just replace the phone with apple because you also get another 90 on the hardware warranty

Did you check your security software (firewall)?
A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

If i made an appt. with Apple, and i asked them if i could switch my black Iphone 5 to a white Iphone 5, because i always have trouble with black Iphones, would they let me?

i've had black iphones in the past, and the same thing always gets messed up, the network, i will not have service what-so ever, and when my mother's iphone will be right next to me and she will have full service. Also the lock screen button/power button broke on both of my black iphones as well. i was just wondering if they would consider. Does apple have an email i could contact?

I bought an iphone secondhand first generation that now has dead pixels. Impossible for me to get it replaced/fixed by Apple?

As the title says:
I bought an iphone secondhand first generation that now has dead pixels and I'm not sure of the cause. Impossible for me to get it replaced/fixed by Apple? It's obviously more than a year old and there's no added warrantee...

To the best of my recollection, the first-generation iPhone, if that is truly what you have, was never released in Australia, so no, you probably cannot get any service from Apple for that iPhone. You may wish to confirm what model of iPhone you really do have using this information:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3939
before you proceed further. Your options will depend on what model of iPhone you really do have, and where that iPhone was originally sold (service is available from Apple only in the country in which the iPhone was originally sold).

Could I get another replacement iPhone 4?

I recently got my replacement iPhone 4 about a month ago. I have about a 30 day warranty left from my previous phone. I don't like the way my replacement(refurbished) phone runs. For example sometimes the screen goes from bright to low. I keep it on the low setting. Also the keyboard is slow even writing this out right now. Also apps like safari randomly close. I only have about 20 apps and 130 pics and nothing else.
Could I get another replacement iPhone for this replacement iPhone?
I just don't want to get suck with a phone that doesn't work before my warranty runs out.
Please help me out!

So you can only get a hardware replacement, when the issue present is caused by problems with the hardware. Your issue specifically, is software related and will require troubleshooting to fix. With that being said, if your problems are similiar to the ones you were having on your old phone, restoring from a backup will generally contain the same problem.
I would go ahead and restore the device as new and troubleshoot / test in it's at most factory default to confirm you have yourself a wonderful working phone.
Side note: A refurb phone is generally 100 times better than a brand new phone as it has been tested and thoroughly gone over before placing into your greesy apple hands.

IPhone would not let me delete individual song from library, tried deleting album to remove music from local storage, now certain songs from album do not show in iTunes match on iPhone only on computer

Upon completion of matching and uploading my very large library of music (+15,000), I wanted to see how iTunes Match worked on my iPhone. I started it and selected the first album in the list to listen to. I let it play the entire album and then decided that I wanted to remove certain songs off of the iPhone's local storage. Tried to delete the individual songs and it would not let me. So I figured that I would go back and just delete the album. After selecting delete I went back to listen to one of the songs on the album and realized that it deleted several of the songs from the iTunes Match completely. When pulling iTunes up on my computer the songs are still there but does not give me the option to upload to iTunes Match.
I have tried turning off Match on iPhone and back on (doesn't seem to do anything cause when turned off the iPhone still displays the music.)
Then tried power cycling. (Still shows the music)
Then I tried power cycling again and resyncing the phone and the iPhone still shows the music as it was on the phone.
How do I get the music to be accessable on the iPhone again.. I have been messing with this for the course of 3 hours now.. and any help would be appreciated!!
iPhone 3GS 8GB

Actually Michael I know exactly how to delete.. The iPhone would not let me swipe to the left to delete the individual song, so I went to the album view and did it there.. The issue I am having is a bug because it removed 3/4 of the albums availablity off my iPhone.. You post proved no help because it is basic troubleshooting which, if you read my post, I have already done.. I did however figure out how to fix my issue on my own.. Basically I had to remove the album from my iTunes on my computer and upload it again to iTunes Match..

How to get the replace iphone in Malaysia or Vietnam?

I got wifi problem with iphone 4s. After trying all methods to fix it, I totally give up and now, I want to a replace iphone. How could I get a replace iPhone in Malaysia or Vietnam?

Warranty is valid only in country of original purchase. You will
have to return the iPhone to that country for repair/replacement,
meaning you will have to bring it there yourself or ship it to
a friend or relative in that country who will bring it in and send
back to you - all shipping and insurance costs are your
responsibility. Apple does not accept international shipments for
repair nor does Apple ship out of the country after repair/replacement.

If within the warranty period and not abused, Apple will exchange them at no cost.

How much would it cost to get a replacement iPhone 5?

Check here:
Out-of-Warranty Service
If you own an iPhone that is ineligible for warranty service but is eligible for Out-of-Warranty (OOW) Service, Apple will service your iPhone for the Out-of-Warranty Service fee listed below.
iPhone model
Out-of-Warranty Service
iPhone 5s, iPhone 5c,
iPhone 5
$269
iPhone 4s
$199
iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS,
iPhone 3G, Original iPhone

A $6.95 shipping fee will be added if service is arranged through Apple and requires shipping. All fees are in U.S. dollars and are subject to local tax.
When setting up out-of-warranty service, Apple will request credit card pre-authorization for the maximum service fee listed above. This amount will be deducted from your credit limit. The final service fee we charge will be determined during testing and may be less than the service fee listed above.
Certain damage is ineligible for out-of-warranty service, including catastrophic damage, such as the device separating into multiple pieces, and inoperability caused by unauthorized modifications. However, an iPhone that has failed due to contact with liquid may be eligible for out-of-warranty service.

Getting a replacement iphone first

i have to send my iphone 4 in for a repair but this is my only phone. the man at the apple store said i could get a replacement sent to me first and i was wondering hot to do this.

Ipods automatically have a one year warrany unless you have violated the terms. But you can pay to extend the warranty. It depends, they may fix it for free or they may charge a bit. Im not entirely sure. But id say theres a good chance that they may fix it for free. With battery replacements, ive heard that they give you an entirely new ipod with a charge of $80. So i think it depends

How so I get my replacement iPhone 4s to be able to call and texts after I have restored it?

Alright, so I was having problems with my iphone and verizon sent me a replacement. I followed all the instructions and restored the replacement iPhone, but I can't get it to call or text anyone. As you can see in the image I have included, it doesn't say 3G like it should. Can someone tell me what I should do?

To expand on what Meg said, it would not say 3G in the status bar since you are connected to Wi-Fi. While you restored the backup, like Meg said, you still need to activate the device.

Replacement iPhone from Apple used?

I had to send my iPhone in for repair because I kept receiving a message saying:
"This accessory is not made to work with iPhone
Would you like to turn on Airplane Mode to reduce audio interference? You will not be able to make or receive calls.
Yes or No"
Apple decided that the phone couldn't be fixed so they sent me a new one. Today I received my replacement from Apple, and it appears that they sent me a used iPhone. The current call timer shows 1 hour, 1 minute of use and the lifetime timer show 4 hours and 37 minutes. Quite a bit of data has been used as well: Sent 2.3MB Received 9.9MB. The Statistics were last reset on 1/17/08. The model # is MA712LL so I know that this is supposed to be a new phone and not a refurb. When did Apple start sending out used phones for replacements? ***?

hexonxonx,
The receipt should have said your replacement iPhone is covered by the original warranty or 90-days whichever is longer.
That is to give you some coverage for the replacement, even if your warranty was about to run out. This is the same as the iPods, or any other repair Apple does on an Apple product.
For example, if you had your iPhone for 11 months, and had it replaced by Apple at that point. You have 1 month of the original warranty left. However, the replacement has 90 days of coverage. The 90 days being longer, that would be the coverage that would apply if you had an issue 60 days after it was replaced.
Any part, or in the case of an iPhone or iPod that is replaced, will either be new or refurbished. The refurbishment process more closely resembles remanufacturing as I personally understand it. Instead of taking the time to do a physical repair on an iPhone or iPod, it is replaced with a service replacement. This allows a 3-5 business day turn around from the time FedEx picks up your iPhone to go to the repair depot. It also allows a 15 minute turn around at the Genius Bar for "repair." The defective one is sent back to the factory. There it is dissassembled, and each component individually tested. Components that pass testing are used in "refurbished" units that are then assembled. The back is new, and has a new serial number.
If there are not sufficient parts available, new parts are used instead. If there is not sufficient parts to even do that, new units are used instead.
There is no way to tell after it has left the factory whether it is a refurbished unit, or a new unit that has been packaged in the service replacement packaging. The packaging for service units tends to be smaller, because it will be the iPhone only.
As for the timer showing any values it is either due to restoring your old profile, or it may have come on during shipment.
Hope this helps,
Nathan C.
