  • If my phone is broken and not insured but still under one year old. Can I go to an apple store and get it replaced with a new one?

    My lock button has stopped working and need to get it fixed. Would it be possible if my phone if not insured but still under warranty to go to an apple store and get it replaced with a new one? Or do you have to be insured?

    The iPhone has a one year warranty. So you should be able to get it replaced free unless you damaged it. You can check the warranty status here: https://selfsolve.apple.com/agreementWarrantyDynamic.do
    Make an appointment at the local Genius Bar ahead so you won't have a long wait. http://apple.com/retail and click on Genius Bar.

  • The apple store has changed my phone. But when I got the new one i did not have all the songs and apps that i bought. WOuld you please help me to retrieve them back to my iphone. thanks

    The apple store has changed my I broken Iphone to a new one.  But when I got it, i did not have all my purchased songs and apps in it.

    You will need to plug it into your computer and re-sync them from iTunes. The iPhone is meant to be synced/backed up to iTunes on your computer on a regular basis. It is NOT a primary or backup storage device.

  • HT204053 How do I delete an old apple ID on my I phone and replace with my new one. The old one keeps giving me updates that I can't access and want it deleted

    I have my ex apple id that we shared on my I phone and created new account. How can I delete his apple id on my I phone since I keep getting update notifications for updates of apps installed on my phone and I can't access and want the updates to stop. Please help!!! Thank u

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your iOS device, you need to delete the account from your iOS device first, then add it back using your updated details. (Settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit "Delete Account")

  • My iphone5 crashed Wed May 29 and I am not sure why.. I had to do a restore and have been trying to slowly get everything back on the phone... Yesterday June 6 it blacked out once and I don't have everything on the phone as before.... New one?

    My iphone5 crashed Wed May 29 and I am not sure why.. I had to do a restore and have been trying to slowly get everything back on the phone... Yesterday June 6 it blacked out once and I don't have everything on the phone as before.... Is it damaged and should I try to get a new one?

    Thank you again for all of your help!! I really appreciate it!
    I think I am following -- I was able to upload to my iPhoto and all photos and videos are there that is a plus! I tried to create an Event in my iPhoto and put all of my photos in that event but for some reason, now my iTunes it not recognizing that Event in my iPhoto. It is not allowing me to import just that event at the moment but I may be doing something wrong. At least all of my pics and vids are in iPhoto so that is a plus and I know they are at least saved somewhere. Just for some reason, my iTunes it not locating the event that I created with only those photos.
    Thank you for letting me know about my contacts! How do I know if I have the contacts app?
    Also, I had no clue that my iCloud could be backed up via cellular data! However, is this a new feature with the most updated iOS?? Unforutnatly I am like 2 iOS updates behind because I don't have enough storage on my phone. I still get the notification that my phone needs to be plugged in and connected to wifi in order to back up to the cloud :-(
    How can I sync using USB? Right now when i click on the info tab for my iPhone in my iTunes this is the answer that I get -- I am a little unclear as to what it means.
    Sync Contacts:
    Your contacts are being synced with you iPhone over the air from iCloud. Over-the-air sync settings can be changed on you iPhone
    Sync Calendars:

  • Does the rubber covering can be replaced with a new one?

    Early this morning my macbook's rubber cover is lifted by itself and somehow expanded because it won't fit anymore. What should I do? It really looks ugly because I can the see metal plate. I tried to search the net about this issue but I can't find an answer. I'm thinking of having it replaced with a rubber cover but I'm not sure where I can find one. Thank you for your help.

    If yu turned on the FindMyiPod feature in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected go to iCloud, sign in and go to FindMyiPhone.
    Also see:

    - Otherwise you will just have to find it the old fashioned way.
    Report to police and change the passwaords for all accounts used on the iPod.
    Apple will not help

    Losing your iPod is not a defect in the iPod. Thus it is not covered by the warranty.

  • I lost my mac how i get it will apple replace with a new one if i get them a law enforced complaint on it

    please help me get my mac back

    Apple cannot get it back. Apple will not search for it. Report the loss to the Police. Apple will not replace it. If you have it insured then report the loss to the insurance company. They may pay to replace it. No one can help you get it back except you - you lost it.

  • HT201401 have damaged iphone 6 that I replaced with a new one and need to know how to transfer from the old to the new phone.

    I dropped my original iPhone 6 and thus crushed the glass cover. I purchased a replacement, same model iPhone 6 128mg, and I've restored from my backup in iTunes and iCloud but now after updating the new phone it displays an error that the states can't restore because 'find my iphone" is on. I disabled this on the new phone as well as the damaged one, is it possible I'm missing something?

    What exactly are you doing when you get that message?  That should only occur if you are trying to restore it via iTunes (and you can only restore from iCloud or iTunes, not both).
    Also, don't post your personal information like your email address on this forum.  That's not only a violation of the Terms of Use of this forum, but also an unwise idea to give out your email address (and possibly Apple ID) to complete strangers.

  • Does Verizon have the capabilities to sync my Droid (first generation) with my new iPhone?

    I just picked up my new iPhone,  and the gentlemen at Verizon told me that they are unable to sync the Droid girst generation with the iPhone. Is this the case? Another iPhone user seems to believe that it is alot of work and they are just unwilling to take the time... I hope this is not true!
    Thank you!

    Some stores have the ability to sync phone number.  Not all of the corporate stores have the machines to do it. I suspect the resellers generally don't have the ability. The charging port on your phone must be fully functional or it won't work. Even if the charging port on your Droid works, transferring the numbers doesn't always work.
    However, since you had a Droid, you had a Gmail account. Set up your Gmail as an Exchange account on you iPhone. That will probably bring all of your numbers over.
    Paul's suggestion for transferring pictures and video are the simplest course of action.

  • My drive recently had to be replaced with a new one installed by Apple they reinstalled all my stuff from my time machine. Most my programs had to be updated which I managed with a little help from my friends, but the last one that I can't solve is

    My IMAC OSX 10.6.8   2.8 GHz intelcore  2Duo 4GB 800 Mhz DDR2 SDRam recently had to have its hard drive replaced by apple thy actually had to give me a larger one because mine was no longer available,They also reinstalled all my programs and data from my 2 terrabite time machine back up. I got my system home and found that I had to upgrade most of my programs which I managed with a little help from my friends, but I still have one problem that I can't solve I have a Nikon Coolpix S6 that I have Been Syncing with my Iphoto since I've got it 3 years ago and now when I place it in the cradle the program reconizes it and says that it is going to start to import the new photos the little white wheel in the center of the screen starts spinning but nothing else happens. I checked all my connections and they are goog plus I even downloaded a nikon progam just to double check the camera & cradle and it works there but it wont pair off with my IPhoto.

    First go to iPhoto Preferences, look in both General and Advanced tabs to make sure that things are set to import from camera into iPhoto.
    Then if that doesn't help, connect the camera and open Image Capture in your Applications > Utilities folder and see if you can use Image Capture to reset the import path from the camera to iPhoto.
