I dropped my iphone on the floor with the otterbox? did something get damage on the inside of my iphone?
is something damage?
An Otterbox is a very good case.
If your iPhone is not damaged in any obvious manner (broken screen for example) then it is fine. Nothing will arise in the future as a result of having dropped it.

I accidentally dropped my iPod from 2nd floor with my laundry 2 years ago
So it doesn't work anymore. (Out of order). Does warranty cover this type of damage?
It happend *2 years* ago... any insurance claim should have gone in 2 years ago too... Two years ago it would still not have been Apple's problem. So the answer is...
NO

Sudo -S with Terminal - Did something get messed up?
Hey everyone,
I just had a quick question...Today I got my 2011 Macbook Pro from repair. Everything was replaced, so everything on my computer, including applications, was lost. I've been reinstalling them, no worries. I let someone with the proper software install Adobe Creative Suite, but I found out he was using a pirated version he had on an external, and I removed it - the company I work for would obviously not support it. However, after doing a bit of searching, I want to make sure nothing on my computer got screwed up, because when I found out it was pirated and I searched for it, there were some security concerns, specifically with the sudo -s command in terminal.
This is what was done (I think, this was in a "install.txt" file):
Run Osx/disable_activation_osx as root
if you dont know how to do that, open a terminal window
then issue sudo -s, a root shell will open
then simply do "sh disable_activation_osx" w/o the ""
or ./disable_activation_osx( make it executable chmod 755 disable_activation_osx
you do that from the folder where disable_activation_osx is. (just copy it anywhere on your hdd)
Or do it manually
Add the text below to the bottom of your hosts file. To get to hosts file, type "sudo nano /private/etc/hosts"
# Adobe Blocker
127.0.0.1 lmlicenses.wip4.adobe.com
127.0.0.1 lm.licenses.adobe.com
When I checked the contents of the disable_activation_osx file, I found this:
echo "Do you wish to update your host file ?"
select yn in "Yes" "No"; do
case $yn in
Yes ) echo "127.0.0.1 activate.adobe.com" >> /etc/hosts;
echo "127.0.0.1 practivate.adobe.com" >> /etc/hosts;
echo "127.0.0.1 lm.licenses.adobe.com" >> /etc/hosts;
echo "127.0.0.1 lmlicenses.wip4.adobe.com" >> /etc/hosts;
break;;
No ) break;;
esac
done
Is this something I should be concerned about? And if so, should I just basically start with a completely clean version of OSX? Or is this something that is harmless? I wasn't sure because the script files don't seem to have anything but IP Addresses and URLs. But as I said, some websites were saying sudo -s can mess up your whole computer, and I don't want that!
Any help is appreciated!What is there to be concerned about? The shell file is simply doing what you were instructed to do yourself manually.
By itself sudo -s doesn't screw up anything. It's what you enter next. Just be careful to either type or paste the instructions you were given. Or take it all to your IT people and ask them to fix it all for you. -
frustrated!!! purchased a new ipad todayand set it up with i cloud so i would have the same on my new ipad...in doing so, it did not recover my audio books only music...where did i go wrong or where do i find them?
Audiobooks are not part of icloud.
They will only be where you put them. They should be on your computer. Sync them to the new device. -
i dropped my iphone yesterday on its backside from my computer desk to floor.the distance is about 50cm. and it has a phone case. it did't work any vertical direction lock .then i restarted my phone, it recovered.but i am not sure is it ok ?
Good job with trying the two-button reset, that would have been my first advice for you. Next, I suggest you take the reset/update a step further. This step may risk losing the data on your phone, but since it's not working already, there may be no other solution.
On your computer, make sure you have internet acces and the latest version of iTunes installed.
Launch iTunes and connect the iPhone
Press and hold both sleep/wake and home buttons
After ten seconds, only release the sleep/wake button.
If you were successful, the iPhone screen should stay dark and the computer should display a popup.
If you see a message saying "iTunes has detected a device in recovery mode," then continue by clicking yes to each subsequent popup.
If the iPhone displays the silver Apple logo start over with step three of these instructions. -
I dropped my iphone 4s and the screen is black with some blue lines. IS there a way to view my text messages on the computer?
For instance, DigiDNA's DiskAid will let you extract your messages from the phone in human-readable format. Like .pdf.

I dropped my iPhone 4s and the back cracked and it now will not turn on. I was wondering if anyone could give me an estimated price to fix it. And I do have insurance on it with best buy. I'm on Verizon's phone plan so I don't know if it would be cheaper to have it fixed with Best Buy or Verizon. I cracked my iPod a little bit ago and got a refurbished one for free with the insurance on it but I don't now if it would be different because it is a phone. I don't know really anything about this stuff so any information that could possibly help me is greatly appreciated. Thanks.
That's only for the iPhone 5. On the 4 and 4S, they can repair the back glass in store for $30. They will not replace the display on a 4 or 4S. They must replace the entire phone. Replacing the display on them requires disassembling the entire phone, which they will not do in store.

I inadvertantly dropped my iphone 3 and now have a white screen with green vertical lines to the right of the screen. It won't sync with itunes due to an error. What can I do?
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.
If it does not resolve the issue, the device is permanently damaged and will require replacement. -
I dropped my Iphone 5 which resulted in it shattering and the screen was still on but it was black with only a white line through it so I couldnt access the phone however I switched over to my Droid and now I cannot send or receive messages and I cant turn off imessage because I cant see anything on the screen. Help?
Then the bottom of the support document states that if you do not have access to the device (which unfortunately because of the screen issue you do not) to contact Apple Care. That is what you need to do.

Hi. So I dropped my iPhone 4s on the floor, and now my screen won't display anything, but it still plays sounds, for example when someone rings or text me.
Please help me ASAp, and I will be grateful for any helpTry a reboot, hold both the power and home buttons until the apple logo appears and it restarts, if it doesn't "appear" but does restart, does it then turn on?
If not, time to visit an Apple store genius bar and have the techs run some tests to see what is wrong. -
I dropped my iPhone 5s on the floor on accident. Of course I have a otter box on it, but when i picked it up, the rear camera stopped working. Also the area around the rear camera started to overheat. I was so hot that it you touch it it will burn you. The battery also started to drain very fast.
You broke it. That seems pretty obvious. A case, including the otter box, is not a magical force field that can protect your phone from the force of gravity.
make an appointment at the genius bar. An out of warranty replacement will cost you $269. -
Please help me. I just dropped my IPhone 5S on the floor by accident. Is completely dead. I tried to turn it on, but nothing happens. Black screen, no notice,nothing at all. What can I do?
Take it to an Apple store and have them check it out.
It may be something simple (connector popped off).
If not, out of warranty replacement (accidental damage) is $269. -
About a Month ago I dropped we went swimming and I dropped my iPhone in water and it works fine except at the top for the signal it says searching. Can you please help me with this problem?
It's very likely that the phone is permanently damaged - water corrodes the very fine copper strips which form the circuitry very quickly - but only a service engineer can tell you what its condition is and whether it can be restored to health. If possible take it to an Apple Store (make an appointment) for a free assessment. Don't be surprised if you are told you will have to replace it.
