I dropped my iphone 4s in water and everything works but the backlight. I have heard rumors that I can take my damaged iPhone into an apple store and trade it in for a new phone and pay the difference. Is this true?

Apple offers an out of warranty or not covered under the warranty "repair" price, which pays for an exchange at a discounted price off the full retail sales price.

You would get better response from the iTunes community forum.
Have a nice day!

Does the iPad mini have a setting so it can be used with either 120 or 240 electrical current? If yes, how do you go about setting the desired input voltage? I will travel to Northern Europe and want to know if I will need a voltage converter.

The iPad charger is dual voltage. You need only a plug adapter to be able to plug your US charger into a European wall outlet. A basic one costs about $2.00. - $6.00. Like this...

Nope, since no one here works for Apple I doubt they would let us behind the counter or use their tools.
Do a google search to locate your local store and get a phone number-then call and ask.

If i bring my apple charger into an apple store will i receive another for free of charge?\

If not all three then no
You can buy a new one

HT201272 I use my Apple id for my new phone And any of my ringtones purchased are in The history

I buy ringtones And now that im use my Apple id for my new phone thers no ringtone in my account

Ringtones are currently a one-time only download from the store. Do you have copies of them in the Tones section of your computer's iTunes library or on a backup of your downloads that you can use to sync them to your phone ?

How to set up myself as family share organizer with my own Apple id when someone else has gotten a new phone and used my Apple ID on it and set up family share for themselves?

its my Apple ID and it's basically been hijacked on a device I dont own and someone else has been set up as family share organizer in my own Apple ID and I can't seem to do anything about it.

You really need to get the apple id straightened out before you start, or you will pay the price forever!   You have a couple of options. I assume your dad is cooperating with this project. I think you are probably right about using his apple account.
Make sure you have established the second e mail address and that to works.
Log onto apple.com, and in the upper right, log into the account. Once in the accout, click on the area where you can change you data, and add the second email address.    Apple wil verify the adress by send it an e mail, and won't do anything further until you respond to an e mail sent to that address, so watch for it.
After the address is verified, on your accout page, make that address your primary address contact from apple. That way if apple sends confirmations for apps and things, they will go to the new address, and your mom won't see them. Then set the pad up using the same aple Id as your dad. Remember, you have not changed the apple id or the password, you have only changed the e mail address for contact.   ( you can change it back after the surprise)
The other suggestion... I have given a coule of pads to folks, and one of the real fun parts for them and for you is o
Ending the box, and doing the set up. It is a great way for them to learn enough to use it. Press the buttons etc. pick their own apps. You can gift her all the apps you want, and she can learn how to download them herself.
I gave a pad to mom in law, and did pretty much what you are planning, and at the end of the day, having it all set when she openied it made it harder for her to learn, rather than easier.
But you are doing a god thing, and I am sure she will enjoy the pad.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Unfortunately, if Apple simply allowed people to log into different accounts and download content, everyone would be using everyone could share everyone else's content and bypass the need to purchase anything. To protect against this, they limit you to logging into a new account to once every 90 days.
If two or more of you, have different accounts and use only one computer, you should each have your own user account on the computer, to avoid the need to log in and out of iTunes.

My phone fell in water and I put it in rice and everything works but now I can't get the charger in the charging thing. Like it won't go in... What do I do?

I had my iPhone 5c in my pocket the other day and it fell in the toilet... I was mortified. I immediately grabbed it out and ran and got a bowl of rice and stuck it in. Siri was going crazy all night cause the home button wasn't working so I turned it off for the night. When I turned it on she was working perfectly! Until today when I tried to plug in the charger. The charger just will not go in! I don't know if rice got stuck in there or what but I do not know what to do! Please give me some suggestions guys!!! Also hopefully cheap cause I don't have the money to pay for a new one lols... Thank you

First of all, you are fortunate that everything works. Secondly, I agree that rice may be the culprit in the charging port. However there is a chance that your trying to fix it could actually harm the port and cost you, so I suggest you first get under a bright light and use a magnifying glass to see exactly what and where the obstruction is. Attempting to connect the charging cable has probably already forced the obstructing substance further down into the port. Obviously the port is small and will require some kind of tool to help you remove whatever is in there. I suggest a plastic toothpick that is not likely to break and shouldn't do damage to the contacts. Tweezers may be useful but if utilized be very cautious not to scrape anything if at all possible.

I bought my iphone5 from vodafone and camera not working. If i bring it in to apple store will they fix it for me? phone is only a week old.

I recently had an iphone from vodafone and the camera was not working when i recieved it. Will apple still fix it even though it was taken out from vodafone will the apple store still fix it for me?
Thanks
Sion

Yes they certainly will
Always use an Apple Store for service .If the iphone is defective they will exchange it on the spot
It is an Apple warranty and their customer service is excellent but make an appointment it will avoid a wait
Back up any info as if faulty you will not see your unit again

I'm due for a new phone, looking at the E63

The issue I have is I am hearing impaired and struggle to find a phone with a tone I can hear well. I hear low tones quite well if the volume is cranked up but most of the custom tones I can't hear as they are too much in the high range which I can't hear..
Anyone else have this issue and any recommendations?
Thanks
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I am also hearing impared and have had this phone since 12/06/09 I am very happy with the volume and clarity of calls and ringing I use the nokia tune as a ring tone and have no problems with it !!
Like you i can hear lower frequencies better all in all although I am still getting to grips with this phone I am quite happy with it !

I bought iphone from Canada but now I'm in Thailand and I upgraded to ios6 but I couldn't turn on wifi and back up on icloud so I want to know that how can I claim my iphone with apple care because no apple store in Thailand. Thank you.

I bought iphone from Canada but now I'm in Thailand and I already upgraded to ios6 but It doesn't work well.I couldn't turn on wifi and back up on icloud so I want to know how can I do with my iphone because no apple store in Thailand.Can I send it to any apple care which is easy and near my country? Thank you.

You can find a local shop and pay to get it fixed or you will need to send the phone to someone you know in Canada and have them take the phone into Apple for service. Then they will need to ship the phone back to you. The warranty is based in the original country of purchase.
Decide which is your best option.

How can I activate my iPhone 5 that I do to have old icloud id required

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")

HT201269 I just traded my old phone for a new phone and I am trying to set it up. I am attempting to back up my phone from the latest restore point and it will not allow me to do so.

I am unable to get the information from I cloud to my new device from the latest restore point.

If your old iPhone was more up-to-date it won't restore a newer version's backup.
Set up as a new device (Skip Apple ID Sign-in to save time) and update iOS, then do Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content & Settings to restart the iOS Setup Assistant and restore your iCloud Backup.
If it still won't work, contact AppleCare as there may be a problem with the iCloud Backup. They never charge for troubleshooting iCloud issues.

After attempting to download/install iOS 8.3 (I think it was 8.3) my phone now doesn't work. Says the update was interrupted. Tries to update. Unsuccessful. Says I will need to recover, which will mean losing everything. I'm past due for a new phone and a

It is an iPhone 5.

The Problem is resolved by :
Click on the "Start" button. Click "Run." Type the word "cmd" in the open box. When the DOS screen comes up, type "netsh winsock reset." Press "Enter." Type "exit" to close the DOS window and go back to Windows.
Restart the computer.
Thanks to my friend Sunil.
