How can I safely get a broken-off head phone jack out of the receptacle?

The head phone jack broke off in the iPad. It is too far down to remove with tweezers. Any suggestions on how to get it out safely? I sent it to the company and was told that unless I fixed the dent on the corner and scratches to the charging base at a cost of $255, they could not fix it. So now I am trying to figure out how to get it out myself.
Thank you for your help,
Karen

Use super-glue on the tip of a jeweller screwdriver (tiny screwdriver) to extract the phone jack.

  • How do i get through find my i phone with out knowing the past apple id or password?

    how do i get through find my i phone with out knowing the past apple id or password?

    If the iPhone has Activation Lock - that is, it's asking for the previous owner's Apple ID and password to activate the device - then you will need that information, or you'll need to get the previous owner to remove the device from his/her iCloud account:

    If you can't reach the previous owner or he/she is unwilling to cooperate, then the device is unusable by you. If you recently purchased the iPhone, return it for a refund if you can.

    Also, if you mean test it in terms of the carrier you will have the normal trial period for the carrier to test signal and reception and such ifyou are signing up for new service (or a new contract term).  AT&T is 30 days to return or exchange the phone if it does not work where you need it to work.  I don't know about Verizon or Sprint these days, but it will be at least two weeks, if not 30 days as well.

  • How can I login with a broken letter of my keyboard used in the password?

    I broke the letter "i" from my keyboard and I need to use  it when a login! Therefore, I cant login. How can I substitute it? Is there any character?

    Take another physical keyboard, connect it, then change password with something without letter i. From now on, you may use that mac without letter i.
    After logging in, you may use Keyboard Viewer with your mouse and may type i as well, if need be.

  • HT201441 How can I take someone's account off my phone if they don't remember the password or email address used to set it up?

    I lent my iphone 4s to a friend who set it up with his Icloud and when I tried to do deactivate the phone so I could start using it again with my Icloud It now asks for the previous persons email adress and password. He now can remeber either and we have no way of deleting the account is there anothere way around this?

    There's no way around it.  If the previous owner can't remember his ID, he can try to find it as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5625.  If he doesn't remember his password he can reset the password as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2617.

  • Stuck in dock connecter mode but can also be switched to AirPlay and head phone jack works but not internal speaker?

    My Iphone 4S is all the time in dock connector mode. This give me no sound at all then ringtones. If I sett Music to use AirPlay, I get internal speaker to work. Then I have sound when I get SMS and other "biips". Else My 4S is quiet.  I can lisen to music in my headphones and it "biips" there.

    Hello Besibert
    This is a hardware issue.
    To resolve this issue you need to try some unorthodox methods to get some results. Try to insert the headset back into the port and "wiggle" it while pulling it out and then inserting it back in. Try this a couple of times and see if this helps.
    The reason for this is because there's a "lever" or spring mechanism that got stuck. No hard reset or soft reset will fix this (I speak from experience).

    I am a first-time iPad owner/user. I bought a relative's original iPad. I want to leave the apps on it and add my own pdfs to read. My itunes account is really for my iPod. iTunes message says that if I "Sync" the iPad will be erase, and become like my iPods. If I make a new iTunes account, would the apps be erased when I tried to use it?
    How can I just get my files onto this iPad, and still have the apps that my relative left there for me?
    Thank you.

    iPads sync to 1 computer only.
    All media and apps are tied to the Apple ID that purchased them.
    Without your relatives ID and password, you cannot update any of the Apps.
    I am pretty certain he is also violating Apples terms of service by giving you the apps.

  • How do I safely get the side panels of the printer off

    How do I safely get the side panels off the printer. I am attempting a repair and do not want to break them

    The thin strip is called the encoder strip.  It has very fine lines that are used to keep track of where the carriage is as it moves across the paper.  You should not need to remove the sides to replace this, but it can be a bit tricky.  The post here may help.  Be sure the encoder strip is properly threaded through the sensor at the back of the carriage.

  • Got a new computer. old computer fell unable to access any infrmation how do i safely get the music stored on my iphone back on itunes and how can i get my aps back that where erased when trying to syn my iphone to my new computer

    This my second computer in the last two years. The first one fell and broke but I had only $20 worth of Itune stuff on the first one so I did not bother however this second computer I have tons of apps and music. I have lost all my apps while I was trying to backup my iphone with my new computer. I am wondering how can i get those apps back. How can I safely syn my iphone to my new computer without losing any more stuff.

    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer.  Certainly after losing everything once, you started doing the basics and have a backup copy.
    Use your backup copy to put everything back.
    If for some reason you have failed to maintain a backup ( twice), then you can transfer itunes purchases from the iphone:  Without syncing:  File>Transfer Purchases
    Make sure that you have your computer authorized to your itunes account.

    Bad mistake. You shouldn't have used your Apple ID on his phone. And you made it worse because now the contacts are gone, as you deleted them from your phone, they got deleted on iCloud. Your husband should have his Apple ID.
    There is really no way of recovering the deleted contacts unless you backed up using iTunes and even then you will only be able to recover those contacts that were on a call list. Read here:

  • How do I safely get rid of a partition?

    hi
    i recently bought a powrmac g4 off ebay with a 933 Mhz processor, 1.25 GB RAM and a 120 gig HD that was partitioned into 2 drives (by, i assume, the previous owner) with one of them running the OS. I just installed a new shiney Maxtor 200 gig HD and wanted to get rid of the partition in the 1st HD but still boot from it. The problem is that the OS already on the drive is newer than the one that I have the disk for, so if I erase it (the drive) then re-install the OS with the disk I have, it will be out of date. The other problem is that I'm not sure of the risks involved in this operation; there are some applications on the 1st HD that I don't have the disks for (as they came with the computer) that are valuable and I don't want to lose.
    So...
    How do I safely get rid of the partition on the 12o GB hard drive?
    Thanks
    Dave

    Use the Restore function of Disk Utility or CarbonCopyCloner to copy all the files from the 120GB HD to the new HD. Then boot to the new HD & use Disk Utility to erase & format the 120GB HD to one partition. (Make sure the new HD & files are working properly before you erase the old HD.)
    You may be able to use only 128GB on the 200GB HD. Look at these links.
