I have a small dent at the side of my ipad.. Help!
Because of the dent the other side had opened up a bit and im scared ill get stuff inside it and ruin my ipad.. ive only had it for nearly 2 months.. i have a case and everything..can apple do anything or will they replace it? also when i delete apps it takes about 15 sec for the confirmation delete bar to come up.. is that normal?
iPad's do not normally have coverage for accidental damage unless you bought insurance to cover it. The new iPad's have Apple Care + available that covers accidental damage. Apple does not repair iPad's. Otherwise you will need to buy a replacement iPad from Apple for about half price of your model or get a 3rd party repair shop to fix it. Folks claim that having a 3rd party fix it will void the warranty. Others say that the fact that you have damaged the iPad has already voided the warranty.
YMMV.

I have a small dent in my iPad. Does the warranty cover this?
I was walking down my hallways, and tripped over my dog, who was laying right in the middle of the hallway. I fell over, but suffered no injuries. My iPad did though. It's the new iPad 3, so I just got it a few months ago. I have a small dent on the back of it, due to my arm falling on it. I was afraid that the camera would not work (this is not the Retina camera on the front, it's the one on the back), but it works just fine. The upper right-hand corner of the iPad is dislodged fromthe metal-type shell, and when I'm using my iPad, I can see the light in the inside. The sleep/wake button still works, but the dent just looks horrible. I bought a warranty when I bought the iPad, but I'm not sure if it covers it.
Accidental damage is not covered except to some degree with Applecare+ if you elected to purchase that.

Will an apple store replace an iphone with lock button problems, but has a small dent on the top
My iphone 5 lock button only works if I push it in a certain place
If I go to the apple store will they replace it? I dropped it a couple months ago and there's a small dent on the topThere's really no way for any of us here to know one way or the other. You will have to take it to Apple and they will tell you whether they consider it covered under your warranty or not.

Is there another way to close apps other than deleting them from the multitask bar.....I have a small crack in the bottom of my screen and that part of the screen does not recognize the touch.
There's generally no reason to be closing them that way at all. The apps you see in the recents bar are just that, apps that you used recently. Most of them are doing absolutely nothing. The only apps that are really doing anything in the background are ones that play music and ones that are using location services. Just leave them be.
Best of luck. -
All my hard drives (internal and external) have a small lock in the lower left corner of the icon and I don't have permissions to access. I have 3 user accounts set up and I cannot access any of them. Permissions are set to 'Custom' in the get info window and I can't change them. Originally I had Snow Leopard installed on one hard drive and 10.5.8 installed on another. I started to have some problems accessing data between them and so I tried changing the permissions on ONE hard drive partition. The next thing I know, all my drives are locked (except the ones with the systems on them), the small lock appeared in the lower left corner of the drive icons and I don't have permissions to access any of them. In the get info window, permissions are set to 'Custom' and I can't change them.
There is suddenly a lock icon on my external backup drive!

My smart cover dented the side if my iPad. Will apple replace?
Just bought the new iPad a couple weeks ago. The same day I bought a smart cover. I just noticed it has dented the side of my iPad. I'm ******. Will apple do anything about this? Has anyone else had this problem?

I carry it in my briefcase to and from work. Only thing I can think of is somehow it got pushed into the side because there is a noticeable dent where it connects.
hmm... sounds like the side of the ipad where the smart cover connects were struck by something and that force carried through enough to cause the strip where the smart cover connects to your ipad to push into your ipad and dent it.
I doubt this is covered because this is similar to saying: the smart cracked my ipad screen because something struck the smart cover while it was covering the screen and the force was enough to carry through and crack the screen.
Guess what I'm trying to say it, even though it was the smart cover that was in contact with your ipad when it got dented, the cause is still some external force...
But give it a shot and see if it's covered! :-) -
I have a small icon at the top right of my iphone 4G right to the left of the battery percent. What is this and how do I get rid of it? It looks like a lock with a circle 3/4 of the way around it
That icon indicates your iPhone is rotation locked.
To remove it, swipe up from the bottom of the screen to open Control Center. Tap the similar looking icon there to turn it off. -
i recently migrated to a new mac. in iphoto, some photos have a small flag on the upper left of the photo. any idea what that is?
That's called Flagging. It's a way to make a quick selection of photos. For instance if you're looking for the best shot to print you might go through the photos and flag candidates for further inspection. Then clicking on the Flagged Section on the left, you can see these selected photos together. You can remove flags by clicking on them, if you mouse over a shot you'll see the option to add a flag by clicking. This can also be done in the Photos menu.

Why do I have a gray strip in the middle of my iPad?
Why do I have a gray strip down the middle of my iPad?
New iPad? Some of them have screen issues. I just returned one that had a gray strip down the left side. Actually, I had two like that. It was difficult for me to find a new iPad without screen issues. I actually never did. I gave up at new iPad #6. It's probably best to just bring it to an Apple store (if possible) to have it looked at. They might just swap it for you.

i recently upgraded my 4s to a 5s. the verizon store took my old phone for a trade in. i cannot get any of my pictures to download from icloud. my photo stream folder only has a small percentage of the photos in it. any help would be greatly appreciated.
That's possible if he didn't connect to a WiFi hotspot after taking them. I don't think the "Personal" Photo Stream uploads over Cellular, unless they changed it since the last time I used it.
If that's the case, then the photos likely didn't upload to Photo Stream and are stuck on the phone.
And you're not going to be able to get them back, either. -
I am doing a cover for O.M.G. by usher and it requires 4 to 5 different vocal layers. My first "line" of vocals keeps disappearing even after i save it. So I have to redo everything on the top line. Any help?
For what it's worth, you posted this in 2011, and here in 2014 I am still having this same issue. Over the last two days, I have had to unlock my apple account 8 times. I didn't get any new devices. I haven't initiated a password reset. I didn't forget my password. I set up two factor authentication and have been able to do the unlocking with the key and using a code sent to one of my devices.
That all works.
It's this having to unlock my account every time I go to use any of my devices. And I have many: iMac, iPad, iPad2, iPad mini, iPhone 5s, iPod touch (daughter), and my old iPhone 4 being used as an ipod touch now. They are all synced, and all was working just fine.
I have initiated an incident with Apple (again) but I know they are just going to suggest I change my Apple ID. It's a simple one, and one that I am sure others think is theirs. I don't want to change it. I shouldn't have to. Apple should be able to tell me who is trying to use it, or at least from where.
Thanks for listening,

Hi there,
Wondering if you might know? I don't have enough space to update the new software on iPad. So my facetime isn't working anymore, this is prob why. Seems I have to delete like all the games/apps we have to do so. Will I lose the progress data/levels in the games? But how do I back up the games data?
Please help. Scared to delete them to update and then not have the space to restore them and if I get them again will the levels/progress be gone?
Thanks RachelConnect your device to iTunes and do the update through iTunes. Using a computer takes much less space on your device than doing the update on your device.

I have just tried to update the software on my iPad and it is now asking me to connect to iTunes. The last time I did this it did not tell me to do this. I'm currently travelling and do not have my MacBook with my iTunes.Can it be resolved without iTunes
I hope that you can see this response. The forum software is acting quite bizarre today.
You really do want to restore with your own computer. There is an off chance that you might be able to backup first, but I really think it is a very slight chance now since you got the connect to iTunes screen. But on the chance that when you connect, it sees the iPad and allows a backup, I would to not have you wait to use your own Mac.
If you cannot create a backup, you will lose everything that you have put on since the date to the last backup. So of your last backup was three weeks ago, you will restore the iPad to the condition that it was in three weeks ago.
If you do a lot of traveling, using iCloud for backups might be a very good idea. I use iTunes primarily and I backup my MacBook Pro with Time Capsule, but I still use iCloud as a secondary backup. I don't have enough data that I have exceeded the free 5 GB that you get with iCloud, so I do use it just in case.
I can't explain what happened with the update, I can only tell you that it does happen to other users. I have never had a problem when I updated and I having been updating over WiFi since iOS 5 came out. Taking a guess, maybe an interruption in the connection - especially of you tried updating using a hotel's WiFi network, or a power surge maybe. Whatever the cause, it is most likely a one time thing. That doesn't help your situation I know, but hopefully it won't happen again. -
