Hardware failure on my iPhone 4s, I want to get a new phone under the NZ consumer guarantees act. How do I go about doing this?
Hello,
My ear speaker has failed in my two year old iPhone 4s. As this is a hardware failure under New Zealands consumers guarantees act apple is liable and is legally obligated to replace my device. Since I ordered my phone online from the apple nz store and New Zealand dosen't have an official apple store, how do I go about making the claim?
Call AppleCare. They will explain your options.

have been a Verizon customer since I got my first cell phone in my 30's - I am 50 now! A year ago, I stupidly opted to get a new phone on the EDGE program because I was trying my first Samsung device and was not sure I would like it having been an IPhone user for years.I was right! Or so I thought.... The Note 3 has been horrible. I am on my second phone(replaced it under warranty) and it still freezes, shuts off on its own, and will not come back on for long periods of time. Having had enough, I decided to EDGE Up to another device. On March 16th I tried to edge up my device online but was unable to. I immediately called to figure out what the problem was. Back in October I had a mix up in my billing where I had set up a payment. It was not done properly by customer service and as a result my line was cut off. I called the EXACT day it went off, filed a complaint about the lack of follow through for my arranged payment, and thought I had it straightened out as the payment was made that same day. That incident, although it was a Verizon error, caused my Edge Contract to be "hotlined". I spent an hour on the phone on March 16th clearing the whole mess up. When the conversation ended, the Verizon representative admitted it was a Verizon error, documented everything, and then told me she was filing a release for the hotline hold that would take a couple of days. Her name was Linda and I stupidly trusted what she said.
The days passed as I prepared to have a major foot surgery and to get my classroom straight before I would be out recovering for 3 weeks. All the time, my Samsung continued to glitch out like it has since I got it! While sitting on the couch recovering, I decided to deal with the phone issue again and EDGE UP. I figured 10 days latter, Linda would have taken care of the issue. Unfortunately, I faced the same problem and was told it was not eligible to edge up at this time. BACK on the phone again, 2 supervisors, 3 customer service reps. ( JOE from New York being the rudest customer service rep. I have EVER worked with) and 4 frustrating HOURS latter, Jason, the equally rude supervisor from Rochester, New York, informed me that Linda gave me BAD information, there was NOTHING he could do, and I am NOT eligible until April 14th!!!!! The WORST experience I have EVER had with a company. They were completely inept, rude, and not concerned about my time, my frustration, or the problems I was facing with their product in the LEAST. I have 4 LINES on Verizon that I am going to talk to Sprint about buying out. It was a horrible experience, and I can NOT believe I have no recourse or anyone to talk to....Edge has very clear restrictions, one being that you must have 6 months of clean payment history which you don't. Either wait until April 14, or good luck at Sprint.
I am unsure how it can be determined the payment mix up was the fault of CS, but regardless, the mix up was done. There can be any number of reasons why a payment could be missed without any fault on your part, however you are still the responsible party for the account and must live with the repercussions. -

The same way they were put on the previous iPhone, sync them.

I have a short homemade film burnt onto a DVD, I now want to import the movie into IMOVIE on my MacBook Pro so that I can edit it, how would I go about doing this? Welcoming any guidance. Thanks in advance.
1. Insert your DVD.
2. Open Disk Utilities (Application> Utilities> Disk Utilities). Highlight your DVD and press "New Image" on the upper toolbar.
3. Choose the location you would like to save your DVD from the drop down menu, "Desktop" is usually the best choice. Then click Save.
4. When finished, your DVD icon will appear on the desktop with the .dmg extension.
5. With iMovie open, double-click the .dmg file you created to mount it. The iMovie import window will then appear asking you to choose. Click Import All and wait for the Import to complete. -

Just install Lightroom 5 on the new machine and activate it using the serial number from your purchase. You do not need to have the older version installed though you might need information from it.

My iPhone quit working and I am getting a new one, how do I know if my contacts ere backed up?
Did you have it set up to sync Contacts to iCloud? If so you can log in to https://www.icloud.com and see that they are there.
If you just backed up to iTunes or iCloud then there isn't a way to visually verify the contacts other than doing a restore. One exception to that is that if you used iTunes for the backup, there are 3rd party extractor programs that can display the contacts. -

I received an I-pad 4th generation from work and it is linked to my other apple products. I want it to be completely separate from my other apple products. How do I do this?
You could do all the following steps, assuming your work IT folks can set it up as they like it so it communicates properly with your work infrastructure. These steps I'm suggesting will make the iPad look like a brand new out-of-the-box device:
1. Go to Settings > Messges and sign out of your Apple ID.
2. Go to Settings > iCloud and sign out of your Apple ID.
3. Go to Settings > iTunes & App Stores and sign out of your Apple ID.
4. Go to Settings > General > Reset > Erase all content and settings and execute that.
Next, let your IT department set up your iPad. It will look like a new device to them. Make sure they do not inlcude any linkages to your stuff when they set it up. -

So you do not want to keep any of the pictures you took with your iPhone 5?

Swipe across Camera roll then tap Delete. -
I have a personal Macbook Pro, which I have had for a very long time. My iTunes account has a lot of music from CD's but also has a lot of purchased music. I also have a Macbook Air for work and have purchased a lot of music on this computer using the same iTunes account. Is there a way to get the music to show up on both computers being that they are from the same account?
Purchases from the iTUnes Store can be transferred like described here:

Any help would be greatly appreciated
Insert the Mac OS X 10.6 DVD, restart with the C key held down, use the Disk Utility to erase or repartition the internal drive if needed, and install Mac OS X 10.6 onto a blank partition.
If you have a Time Machine backup or bootable clone of 10.6, you can restore that instead of installing a new OS.

I have a full sketch in Illustrator that I want to make symmetrical, how do I go about doing this?
Hey guys, I'm somewhat new to Illustrator and I have a scanned in sketch of a man's face that I would like to make perfectly symmetrical. How do I go about doing this? Thanks in advance!
Justin,
You may redraw either half with the Pen Tool (or another tool) and reflect a copy.
And you may go a step further:
It is quite possible to create a symmetrical drawing live with the help of Illy, with the inbuilt tools, without any external plugins, if you just start in the right way. Obviously, it is much better to see the whole appearance while you create it.
You may see the reflection live after each Anchor Point if you start out as follows (for Pen Tool with vertical reflection to the right, similar for other directions):
1) Create the first two Anchor Points of your basic path;
2) Effect>Distort&Transform>Transform>ReflectX with 1 copy and the middle right side Reference Point chosen;
3) With the Pen Tool ClickDrag (or Click) anew from the second Anchor Point and go on;
If you wish, you may:
4) Object>Expand Appearance and Ctrl/Cmd+J to join the half paths.
Ctrl/Cmd+Z Undo is your friend: you can just go back and redo while drawing the basic path. -
How do I put CS6 on my mac book pro. It was downloaded as an upgrade to my desk top.
You'll need your CS6 upgrade serial number plus the serial number of the earlier qualifying version from which you upgraded (CS5?).
Download the CS6 Mac installer from Download and Installation Help
Install then enter your CS6 upgrade serial number and your CS5 serial number when prompted.
