HT2101 My iPhone's 4 battery exploded. What do I do next? 1 year warranty period is over; however, this is a clear hardware issue which I didn't cause (didn't drop the phone, the battery just exploded while charging the phone)
I put my iphone to charge for about an hour. After an hour I found that the battery exploded. It literally exploded pushing the back cover off the whole thing. That is crazy... iphones explode?? what if this happened in my pocked and some nasty liquids going all over.
Please let me know what do I do next about it. 1 year warranty is gone but it is not my fault the thing exploded. Should be some kind of hardware issue. I found on the internet that this happens quite often.
I had the same thing happen to my iPhone but much less extreme. The back had popped away from the frame at the top, below the headphone jack. I tried to push it back but it would not stay. My first thought was that this was attributed to a bad/bloated battery. I took it in to my local Apple store where it was diagnosed as having a defective back. I brought up my bloated battery suspition with the Genious who instantly shrugged it off. The back was defective and that was it.
A new back was ordered and when it came in, I took the phone in for the back to be replaced. The new Genious went back to their service area with the phone, emerging a few minutes later stating that the back was not the issue...it was a bloated battery which had pushed the back off. They ended up replacing the phone under warranty.
Yours is very extreme since on mine, only one corner of the back was pushed away. I certainly hope you can get Apple to correct it without charge since this is clearly an issue with a bad battery and a dangerous one at that. Best of luck to you.

Yes.

My charger connects with my computer with a very faint green light (not the normal orange light) and can maintain the computer turned on but does not charge the battery. The power source to keep it on is the power adapter and that it's "Not charging" on the battery settings. And my charger seems to charge other computers fine.
The part of my mac where the adapter (L-shaped, magnetic) attaches is a bit damaged - a small piece of the white case/body around the part where the adapter attaches is broken off, but that's just an outer damage.
I don't know what's wrong with my computer, and if anyone has had a similar experience or knows what's going on, it'd be tremendously helpful!
Thank you!!Hi Christopher,
Doubtful an upgrade would fix a hardware issue. If you are thinking of upgarding to Lion, best to do all necessary maintenance first.
Try Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)

I am attempting to update to the new os x mavericks and while completing the download it prompts me to choose a disk. I have chosen the only option I am provided and am then told that the update cannot be installed on "untitled 1" what am I supposed to do?
Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
The title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar at the top of the screen.
Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Then try the installation again. Select any messages that appear in the Console window. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.

What the steps are useful for us while designing the database by Performanc
Dear Experts
Plz tell me.
What the steps are useful for us while designing the database by Performance point of view.
Like Proper indexing and table assing to specific tbalespace etcOracle manuals would do the best for you. There is no step by step rules for tuning the database , had this be true , then Oracle must've write a programme , application or sql script to achive it . I would advise you to go through oracle performance and tuning guide .

i am having major issues! this does not work i dont understand..does the ipod have to be off while pressing the buttons if so how is it possible if it is connected to the computer either way it turns on..and when i tried these steps while the ipod was on it still doesnt work it just asks me “slide to power off” please someone help me i just cant seem to put my ipod in DFU mode
To get the iPod in recovery mode and DFU mode you first have to turn the iPod off.
Just what is the problem you are tying to resolve?
Sometimes you have to let the battery fully drain if you can't turn the iPod off. After charging for at least hour try again. -

Sounds like you've had an unauthorized shop repair your phone. If that is the case, the only thing you can do is go back to them or find another shop to assist you.
There is a hardware issue with your phone and Apple may not be willing to do anything for you if you've had it serviced by an unauthorized third-party. I would highly recommend you replace the phone as burning smells are never good signs and are often hazardous.
You may be able to purchase an Out-of-Warranty replacement at an Apple store; the cost for the 4S is $199 (USD).

What's the voltage input needed to run and charge the iPad 4?
What's the voltage input needed to run and charge the iPad 4?
As long as the charger is rated for at least 10 watts or 2 amps it well charge the iPad just fine. A higher rated charger such as the 12 watt 2.4 amp charger will also charge the iPad, possibly a little faster, but it will not damage it. Chargers rated at 5 watts or 1 amp may charge an iPad very slowly if not at all.
Just be aware some cheaper dual port USB chargers share the 2 amps. It will charge an iPad in one port but adding another will reduce the current to both ports to 1 amp. An iPhone may charge fine but the power would be reduced to the lower level and slow an iPad charging on the other port. The one you link to will work fine although it looks as though one port is 5 watt/1 amp and the other is 10 watt/2 amp. There are many adapter's available that will supply 10 or 12 watts to both ports to future proof the charger giving you the capability to charge 2 iPads or other more demanding smart phones with larger batteries. I like Scosche reVolt chargers, they cost a little more but they are a quality product. If you want the best option go with a 12 watt charger which can speed up charging on many products a little more than a 10 watt can. -
We are upgrading from Tools 8.53 to Tools 8.54 in HCM. I am receiving logging event 'Unable to signon to the Source Database.' just prior to 'Running the DBTSFIX Report' step. I found case 1545297.1 where it said to choose initial move as opposed to move
For Tools only upgrades, while creating the jobs, you should choose 'Initial' and not 'Move to production'
An excerpt from http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E56736_01/psft/acrobat/Getting_Started_on_Your_PeopleTools_Upgrade_08_2014.pdf is given below
MTP indicates that this step runs only in Move to Production upgrade passes. The step is not applicable to the initial pass. This is not applicable for PeopleSoft PeopleTools-only upgrades. -
My MacBook Air becomes unresponsive when logging in, and I decided to reinstall OS X Lion. When running the installer from OS X Recovery, it gave the error message "An error occurred while preparing the installation. Try running this application again."
Checking in the log revealed the following error:
Can not connect to /var/run/systemkeychaincheck.socket: No such file or directory
Error!! Error Domain=NSURLErrorDomain Code=-1202 "UNTRUSTED_CERT_TITLE" UserInfo=0x1086bec80 {NSLocalizedDescription=UNTRUSTED_CERT_TITLE, NSLocalizedFailureReason=UNTRUSTED
The rest of the line is cutted off. Does anyone know what went wrong and how to fix it ?
I encountered the same exact problem when I attempted to re-installed OSX Lion on an old laptop. The date was set back in 2000, which rendered the certificate obsolete. Here's how I fixed it:
From the recovery menu, select the Terminal application. Run the 'date' command to confirm the date is wrong, then set the correct date using this command: date {month}{day}{hour}{minute}{year}
e.g. date 1219195613
Exit terminal (type exit). Retry the installation.
