I bought a refurbished iphone 5 from Verizon. The battery has to be recharged every day. I don't use it very much, yet I always have to put it on the charger, why is that ?
I'm really annoyed that the battery in my iphone 5 loses it's charge so quickly, won't even make it through the day. I turned off some of the notifications and other features that I don't use but it doesn't seem to make any difference.
mizzlizz70,
It is very frustrating when you have to frequently charge your phone. Help has arrived and we are able to assist with your battery needs. With a fully charged battery please dial #2539 and leave the line open for 10 minutes. An automated announcement will play. Review the current battery level after the test call. Let us know how much the battery drained.

My question: is it important that I seek further help with this backkup issue or just ignore it. The 16 hr. backup at the Apple Store is accessable in the Time Machine. I'm just concerned about the error message.
I did the verification, which indicated that the last backup was 0422 today. However, when I opened my Mac, this morning at 0500, I still got the message that the backup was NOT performed, etc, etc. etc.
The backup is made on the standard Tiime Machine.
The next backup has already started as of 0518. Let's see what happens. This is strange. Here is the time sequence: 0518 Backup started
0525 Mac. froze and color wheel would not allow me to access anything on the Mac,
0528 Backup continuted: 91.9 MB of 94.8 MB
0530 92.2 MB of 94.8 MB
0532 Backup stopped. Message: Latest backup 4:22 Today.
It seems to be functioning properly at this point. I'm curious to see if I get the standard "The backkup was not performed because an error occured while copying files to the backup disk" message, later today.
I appreciate your help. I'll keep you posted as I may need your help again.
Thanks -

I recently bought a refurbished Iphone 4 to replace the one I had that was damaged..When I hook it up to my computer the message "this iphone is supervised by another computer" keeps coming up. How do I fix this problem?
The phone was not properly reset by the previous owner. You can try deleting any profiles on the phone in Settings. If that fails try Settings/General/Reset - Erase all content and settings. And if that fails it is probably a stolen phone.

I bought my iPhone from Verizon and having their service. Does my iphone has a default SIM PIN?
The 4G LTE SIM card in your device contains information about your plan, device and more. You can set a SIM PIN so others won’t be able to access that information if your SIM card is removed from your device.
If you remove your SIM card and insert it another device (e.g., when you upgrade to a new device), you’ll be asked for the SIM card PIN. You can find your SIM card PIN in My Verizon if you’ve forgotten it. Or, if you’ve entered your SIM card PIN unsuccessfully 3 times, you’ll need the PIN Unblocking Key (PUK) to unlock your SIM card again. After using the PUK, you’ll need to create a new PIN for your SIM card if you want to secure it again.
To locate the SIM PIN / PUK numbers for your 4G LTE SIM card:
Navigate to the Overview page in My Verizon.
Click My PIN and Unblocking Key (PUK) under About My Device.
Your default PIN and PUK will be displayed in a pop-up window.
Click Close when you’re finished to return to the My Verizon Overview page.
You’ve successfully located your SIM PIN and PUK. -

HELP!!! I bought two new phones from Verizon stores for Christmas presents and can't activate either one. When I try to go on-line I get a message that the activations can't be processed.
When I try to call, I get a message that they have Activation support for today but long hold times (understandable) and the automated system keeps hanging up on me (not understandable).
Any hints on how to talk to someone and get these working today?massive frustration that the phone process kept hanging up on me. finally got to chat with a customer service person (not sure how because I could never find a chat option on-line). Kari was GREAT; stayed with me and fixed what ever needed to be fixed.

HT4528 I just ordered 2 new iPhones from Verizon. Can I purchase Apple Care on them?
I just ordered new iPhones from Verizon. Can I purchase Apple Care on these since I didn't get them directly from Apple?
Yes. See the information here, particularly the "Important Notes":
http://www.apple.com/support/products/iphone.html
Since you haven't yet taken delivery of the iPhones I'm not sure how Apple will handle it.

I bought an iphone 5 only 2 days ago and both days the battery has drained to 20%. All I have done is text and make 1 call... Are there any app killers or task killers for this phone to download?
Well, i bought two iphone 5 for me and my wife...she used it for only 2 days and she gave it back to me complaining from the same problem and she went back to her 4S, i thought she was kidding until i used mine,,,oh my god, the battery does not last for more than 6 or 7 hours, even without making any calls. i was so happy with my previous 4S as i used to charge it at night and stay almost 2 days on a stand by before recharge it again. well, im done with apple, have an appointment today in apple store to return mine, and even if they give me 2 new ones, i will not even open them,,,, for sale right away.

I visited the USA and bought an Apple iPhone 4 5.1.1, the latest model. I would like to unlock it and use in my country. How can I get it unlocked so the I can use my local micro sim card? What info about it do you need to assist me in unlocking it?
Contact the original cellular provider, as they are the only ones that can provide unlocking.

My iPhone was lost and I want to purchase a refurbished iPhone from Apple.
Will there be any difficulty adding the new phone to my existing iPhone plan? (with the same phone number)
thankssteven357,
When you have your replacement phone, connect it to iTunes, and during the activation choose the option for "Replace a phone on an existing account".
It will ask you to verify some information in regards to your AT&T account, and then should activate.
Hope this helps,

I have to charge my phone everyday, The battery just last long for a day. Is that normal ? My phone just one week old.
Please advise mates.I would say that is well within the acceptable limits,
If you check out Apple's page here: http://www.apple.com/iphone-6/specs/
All the way at the bottom is the battery info. It states that you'll get up to 12 hours of battery on 3G/LTE. Of course, that number is obtained by following a very specific set of steps - the real world number is less.

my iPhone is about 6 months old now and I would say I don't use it that much. Yet for the last month or so the battery life has been going down and today after having charged it to 100% this morning, it was at 5% at 4 pm this aft. help!!
Ok Fellas, let me give you a clue: Games, particularly those that make heavy use of graphics and sound are notoriously power hungry. In fact, when I was in the Navy many years ago, the folks working on the NTDS (Navy Tactical Data System) computers used a version of Space Invaders to load test the AN/UYK-43 computers.
I have also noticed that all of my laptops (I have a brand new Toshiba dual core, an older Toshiba single core, plus 2 Dell dual core machines) have significantly shorter battery life when I play Company of Heroes than when I am just reading e-mail or surfing the 'Net. I have also noticed the same behavior when I play games on my 4th gen Touch and my iPhone 4.
The fact is, iOS 5 did make some major improvements as well as adding some nice functionality like iMessage, wireless synch, and such, but the down side is that depending on how you use the device battery life can be shorter that what you may have experienced with pervious versions of iOS. Its just the nature of the beast...

Sounds like you bought an AT&T no contract phone. You will need to contact AT&T for unlocking but they are only doing so for current and previous account holders. If you have never had service with them they will not unlock your phone.

i have had my iphone 4s for less than 3 months and i always have it in a protective case, recently my bluetooth that i use daily will not stay connected, my alarm clock will not ring, any suggestions on whats going on??
Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new). Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.
