Has anyone had their iphone 4 die on them? Mine is just 2 yrs old and won't switch on, tried all the remedies, reboot, tried to connect and reboot via itunes, new battery--nothing works

Hias anyone had their iphone 4 completely die on them? Mine won't switch on, I have tried using the power key with the home key, tried connecting it via usb cable to itunes, tried new battery- nothing has worked. The phone is just 2 yrs old this month, and I haven't dropped it or anything. I have never had a phone break on me before in almost 20 yrs of having mobile phones- I've had to resort to using a 7 yr old Nokia, which I used to love but it's not the same as my iphone!!

If you have attempted the reset, which is holding the home button and sleep/wake button, was it still connected to the computer? Have you tried to do that when not connected. You stated it never came on, how long did you hold the buttons together? If you cannot get it to connect to iTunes then you would not be able to restore the device. You can see if you can put the device into Recovery Mode by following the instructions in this support document. If that does not work, then you are correct, make an appointment at the Apple Store. If you can't update or restore your iOS device

  • Has anyone paired their iPhone contacts with a 2009 Honda Pilot?

    I recently purchased a 2009 Honda Pilot and want to sync my contacts with the Bluetooth.  Has anyone had any luck with the iPhone 4?

    I also have a Honda Pilot (without the environment damaging Daytime Running Lights).
    I found that the Bluetooth interface is not reliable.
    It seems like every other time there is a new version of the iPhone firmware or an update in the firmware to my car radio the Bluetooth interface stops working.
    I have since changed to a hardwired dock connector in all my cars. These ALWAYS work.
    Just about any car audio shop can install these at a low cost.
    They are unaffected by firmware updates, and they charge my iPhone and iPod at the same time. So when I get out of my car I have a fully charged iPhone.
    Go hardwired, it will ALWAYS work.

  • Has anyone had any problems with fusion drive?  If so, what kind of problems, and were they easily corrected?

    I'm looking at buying a new computer.  Has anyone had any problems with fusion drive on iMac?  If so, what kind of problems, and were they easily corrected?

    NOPE!
    I better not!  My iMac is only a week old.  And, if I did have any problems with it, I would let Apple deal w/it!  I do not troubleshoot when I'm under warranty.  That's Apple job!

  • Has anyone had their MBP die after installing a new hard drive?

    hi,
    the reason why I ask is because:
    a while ago I had a lovely PB12" which was my favourite little laptop.. the only thing it was missing was hard drive space, so I had a certified apple centre install a 250GB drive in it to make it a much more usable personal machine. a few days later the motherboard fried itself, and because the machine was long out of warranty, there was pretty much nothing to be done about it. I'm pretty sure it was a dodgy job on replacing the drive that killed my machine but I obviously can't prove it.
    anyway that was then, this is now.. I'm thinking about replacing the 100GB 7200rpm drive that came with my MBP core2duo 2.33 17" machine, seeing as there are now 7200rpm drives as big as 320GB. but I really rely on this machine for a lot of work, and I'm not exactly ready to have it mysteriously die just like my old powerbook. I know the 12" powerbook was apparently notoriously difficult to open up and replace components so I get the feeling that the technicians must have bashed something up when they were trying to do the swap out. so my question is, has anyone at all with any recent MBP had the machine go seriously wrong after changing the drive? looking around on the internet it seems that changing the drive in my current machine is something easy enough that I could do it myself, which I'd probably do if I don't hear too many horror stories about it. my MBP is out of warranty and I don't have apple care, but is it correct that even if it still was under warranty, that would have been voided by my changing the hard drive?
    anyway, any experiences and opinions on this most appreciated, especially from anyone who has had major problems..
    cheers,
    antonio

    thanks for the replies, appreciate the feedback.
    as I mentioned in my original post, I think I'm probably overly paranoid because of the fact that an authorised repair centre managed to kill my PB just doing a simple drive switchover. but from everything I've heard, the powerbook 12" was already in a category of its own in terms of how difficult it was to access parts inside, with a high risk of breaking something in the process. so I'll probably end up swapping out the drive on the MBP myself, perhaps with the help of someone more technically nerdy than me (and who has the right tools).
    I originally got a 7200rpm drive, and will most probably go for the latest 320GB 7200s that are out there because I need the best performance running logic. but I'm also slightly tempted to go for a 500GB 5400 because I've heard there's not much in it performance-wise nowadays given that the 5400s use perpendicular technology rather than longitudinal. do any of you know if the current 320GB 7200s also use perpendicular recording?
    thanks!

  • Has anyone sent their iPhone to be repaired only to get it back with the same problems it had before it was sent off?

    Hi all.
    I reported two problems to Apple about my iPhone 4S. The first being that the 3G stopped working (my phone has never been dropped, damaged or gotten wet) and the second that it keeps making a random and incessant beeping sound that can only be described as a "warning tone" even though no notification pops up on the screen and after going through all of the preset tones on the phone, I couldn't find one that matches.
    I know that it's not my service provider's fault in regards to the 3G as I've put my SIM card in a friend's iPhone who is on the same network and the 3G worked perfectly fine.
    This isn't my gripe, my gripe is that after having explained this to Apple and sending them my phone (I still have about 40 days of my one year warranty), I received it back a few days later with the exact same problems!!!
    Has anyone else sent their iDevice off to get "fixed" only to find out that all they did was repackage your item and send it back to you?

    See if you can force the phone into recovery mode:
    Leave the USB cable connected to your computer, but NOT your phone, itunes running, press & hold the home button while connecting the USB cable to your dock connector, continue holding the home button until you see “Connect to iTunes” on the screen. You may now release the home button. iTunes should now display that it has detected your phone in recovery mode, if not quit and reopen iTunes. If you still don’t see the recovery message repeat these steps again. iTunes will give you the option to restore from a backup or set up as new. Select restore from backup, follow by syncing your itunes content.

  • Has anyone had their screen on a macbook pro shut off randomly?

    Hey,
    Recently I have encountered a problem on my MBP (mid 2010).  So, I know that a computer can only operate in a high temperature for so long.  I understand that. 
    I play WOW a lot.  I know for a fact that my computer's temperature goes from a normal temperature range of around 35 Celsius to about 45 to a higher temperature range of 55 to at its highest 80 Celsius. 
    I use smcfancontrol and I keep my MBP on top of a cooling fan. The cooling fan I use is Antec Unbeatable Notebook Cooler 200. I like this cooling fan. The numbers above were estimated off of smcfancontrol’s interface.  
    Yesterday, after I stop playing WOW, my screen goes black complete randomly.  I was using my computer immediately before this screen went black, so the screen should not have shut off from inactivity to sleep.  My computer has full battery life and was on charge.  I also know that my computer’s battery is about 90% health based on istat nano widget. 
    I previously had a PC laptop that had its monitor shut off and never come back, so that’s why I bought my current MBP.  I was selling my PC lapto for its parts.  But I accidently found that the computer screen still worked probably because a wire wiggled the out of place.  But MBP are more integrated with the hardware than a PC laptop is. 
    Has anyone else have this happen to them or has something similar happened?

    If a SMC reset does not help, make an appointment at an Apple store genius bar for a free evaluation.

  • Has anyone encountered their iphone won't turn on after installing the 8.1.3 update?

    Has anyone else encountered this problem?  The update took about 15 minutes.  After the update the phone wouldn't turn back on. I hit the power button and a the iTunes logo appeared with a lightening cord, so i plugged into my pc to iTunes.  iTunes had a pop up telling me that I needed to restore the phone back to factory settings and I would lose all my data that isn't on icloud.  Before I hit restore, are there any other things that I should try?  I already tried hitting update again and it won't complete the update.

    The message is correct. Once you see the iTunes logo and the USB cord your iPhone must be restored. It has already lost all data stored on it. You can recover your data from a recent backup if you have one. You can recover all purchased music and apps without the backup. When I updated our 2 iPhones, I backed each of them up to iTunes before updating just in case. I recommend that you do this before you do any future updates.

  • Has anyone had their IPAD just die?

    I picked up my ipad to read a book and it will not turn on. Plugged it in to charge this morning and now it is dead.

    IT's possible that your battery has died. You can make an appointment at your local apple store and have them take a look at it.

  • Has anyone ordered their iPhone off ebay?

    I've found that I can save quite a load of money if I find a good iPhone off of ebay, and I wondered if anyone has done this and how does that work as far as activating it, etc? Is this a good option? 

    The reason why they are charging the outrageous fee for shipping and a small amount for the phone is because Ebay charges you a percentage of what you sell an item for. I have sold items on Ebay. If the person charges the amount as "shipping"  then Ebay does not get a percentage of that charge. So lets say the auction ended and the price of the item was $20 and the shipping is $600 the seller will get paid $620 through paypal BUT Ebay will only get a percentage of the $20 and nothing for the $600. This is a way for the seller to go around the Ebay policy so they are able to keep more of the money they actually get for their item. When you sell on Ebay you have to pay for the listing and then you have to also give them a percentage of the final sale.

  • Has anyone had a problem with Illustrator lagging behind one letter when you're typing? For example, when I type "apple," the "a" doesn't appear until I type the "p." I only have one window open, and I restarted, but it's still acting strangely.

    For example, when I type "apple," the "a" doesn't appear until I type the "p." I only have one window open, and I restarted, but it's still acting strangely.

    Hi Swampxiix,
    How many programs do you have open while you're working in Illustrator? Do you have a lot of layers or art boards?
    It could be that your computer was being slowed by too many programs, or a complex design file. The age of your computer could also be a culprit.

  • Firefotly and starts slowly. When I switch to Safari all the windows open right away. This is a brand new Macbook so it's not the computer. What's going on? This has gone on for days and I'm ready to opt out.

    Firefox opens to a blank page. Then it is very slow to open any connections and sometimes just goes dead.
    This is not allowing me to edit the question....grrrrrrr

    Take it back, it's defective , you have a 1 year warranty and you have 3 months of free support, up to 3 years if you bough AppleCare.
