I have iphone 4 and his on/off Button is brocken what can I do?

This seems to be a network issue and is common globally. Apple seems to need particularly good networks to operate consistently.
I have friends and family with iPhones. Here are a few experiences:
I know that my friend is on holiday a couple of hours north of where I live. I cant call her. I call her partner who has a Nokia. Same network same place, actually sitting beside each other on the beach. The Nokia works fine, the iPhone, inoperative and no signal.
My Brother has an iPhone 4. We are meant to be in a convoy heading north. I am talking to him on the phone and he agrees to pick up our dad. he is on the motorway in the city. He is not in the country in some poor coverage area. I try and ring him straight back and it goes to answer service. I try again. I ring his wife, who is sitting right next to him in the car. She has a Nokia - no problems. His iPhone simply lost signal. He was not talking on it. His iPhone drops calls or is unable to make calls at all sorts of random places. The worse the coverage, i.e. rural in the country the less service he has.
My Brother goes to China on business. He is roaming. His iPhone never lost signal and never dropped a call.
Our conclusion. An iPhone staying connected to a network is a delicate thing if you do not have a powerful network with good coverage, particularly 3G coverage if you have a 3G phone. Your solution is to probably change networks and get one that has better coverage. Your other solution might be to get Nokia so that you can actually call people and use your iPhone for all of the cool email, games, iTunes and other functions it has. Afterall that is what is was designed for - the phone thing seems to be an optional extra.

If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone and use Remote Wipe to erase the contents of your device. If you have been using iCloud to back up, you may be able to restore the most recent backup to reset the passcode after the device has been erased.
You can also wipe the iOS device by installing the FindMyiPhone app on another iOS device and using that app to wipe the device.
Next use the method discussed in the following for placing the iPod in Recovery mode without buttons
Turn on without Home/Power Button

I updated os on my iphone and itunes did not transfer my apps, what can i do?

I updated my iphone 4 to IOS 5, in the processs itunes asked me if i wanted to transfer my purchased apps to my iphone, I clicked on transfer, however itunes did not transfer the apps and removed them from my iphone. How can i recover the apps I purchased?

For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down page in case one of them applies.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.
For device connectivity issues see TS1538: iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows, in particular section 5, and TS4062: iTunes 10.5 and later: Troubleshooting iTunes Wi-Fi syncing.

HELP: I sync my iphone ios 4 to another iphone ios5, sync was completed but after a few mins, iphone will auto restart and freezes at the home screen which I can't unlock. I have to hold the "home" "off" button to restart the phone.

Dear all, please hel!!
I sync my iphone ios 4 to another iphone ios5, sync was completed but after a few secs, the iphone with the IOS 5 firmware will auto restart and freezes at the home screen which I can't unlock. It will then freeze for a few secs before repeating the restart phase again and again and again.
To solve this issue, I have to hold the "home" + "off" button to restart the phone. Afterwhich, it will restart the phone. However, although my stuff are still on the phone, all my sms are gone.
Can someone please assist urgently.
My data was transferred from another iphone 3GS which is running an IOS 4.0.1 to another 3GS running ios 5.0.1
Is there a serious compatibility issue with both firmware?
Please help.
Thanks!

Can't I just set up Exchange as one of my calendars in ical?
Only if you're running Snow Leopard and your employer will allow access (different than iPhone/mobile device access, so most likely not), but not needed - keep reading.
Is it really true that I have to choose between syncing Exchange with work server OR syncing iCal with personal Macbook?
No. It was true, but with the v3.0 software that changed - you can now sync your Exchange contacts and calendar over the air, and your Address Book and iCal via iTunes over the docking cable.
What is the best work around for this?
None needed. When you set up the exchange account, and choose to turn on syncing of contacts and calendars, you will be prompted to remove all other data, or keep it on the iPhone. Choose the keep option. Note that in that case, your personal data will not be uploaded to the Exchange server - the iPhone keeps them separate (although you can choose to view them in a merged fashion).
I have this set up on my phone (Exchange calendar along side personal and other calendars from iCal). Same for contacts. Works great.

My husband and I both have iphones and share the same apple id. Everything was working fine until I synced his phone which lost all his contacts and pictures and gave him my info. I then used verizon's contact retreival app and got his contacts back

My husband and I both have iphones and everything was ok until I synced his phone and lost all his contacts and pixs. I downloaded verizon's contact retreival app and got his contacts back but now his contacts keep overwriting mine. I can sync my phone and get my contacts back but within a few hours, his show up again. We use the same apple id for purchases. What can I do?

Are you sharing the same iCloud account (in Settings>iCloud)? And do you both have Contacts turned to On in Settings>iCloud?

Why does the sound stop after about 10 minutes? I like to listen to lectures, etc. and find it very annoying to have to press the on/off button to restart it every 10 minutes. Couldn't find a way to extend playing time in settings.

I can imagine that is frustrating as heck. My daughter has one of these and I know for a fact hers does not turn off after 10 minutes because I have to turn it off for her every night after she has fallen asleep. Below is what Apple has to say about it from a troubleshooting standpoint.
"If music stops when the iPod nano screen turns off m Make sure the earphone port is free of debris. m Make sure the earphone or headphone connector is pushed in all the way. To see an illustration, go to support.apple.com/kb/ts3700."
Are you using aftermarket ear buds or speakers when you listen to these lectures??? If so maybe it has something to due with a compatibility issue.

Any idea why a 3 month old new IPad won't turn on? It has been charged today and was working perfectly last night while I used it to read a book. I have tried both the sleep/wake button and the on/off button on the front. Nothing is happening.

Any idea why a 3 month old Ipad will not turn on? It has been charged and I haved tried the sleep/mute button and the on/off button on the front. Nothing is
happening. It was working fine last nigh?

1. Hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home button down together
2. For 10 to 15 seconds
3. Until you see the Apple logo
4. Ignore the red slider
Note: Repeat it if it doesn't work the first time

My home screen is gigantic. As a result I cannot see the keypad for entering in my passcode. Somehow, everything on my home screen has expanded to gigantic size. I've tried to reset the phone by holding the home button and the on off button...

My home screen is gigantic… So much so that 1/200 of the normal screen display now fills up the entire screen. As a result, I cannot even see my keypad to enter in my passcode. I've tried a hard reset a few times (holding the home button and the on off button at the same time until the iPhone restarts). This has not resulted in any changes. Any ideas?

Thank you Lawrence. that worked! I have another question for you as well. I just got this 6 Plus and it is already saying that I am nearing the end of my storage. My iCloud is apparently 20gb and I have 6gb left. I'm attaching a screen shot. Any thoughts on how I can make available some more storage?
I Also wanted to get an enhanced quality Speech voice Alex, but it is saying I don't have enough Memory (I think it says memory because I can't read the message fully). Lastly, in your opinion does Grayscale really improve battery life above and beyond what can be achieved by closing out all apps etc. Thank you.

I have 5s and it shuts off and shows the apple sign and the goes back to normal/Help please

Hello mpd412,
Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with your iPhone 5s. I would be concerned too if my iPhone was unexpectedly powering off. I found an article with steps you can take when you encounter an issue like this. I recommend following the steps below:
Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion. Learn about LCIsand corrosion.
Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
After at least 30 minutes, if:
The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen . Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.
If the display turns on, go to step 4.
If the display remains black, go to next step.
Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.
My issue is still not resolved. What do I do next?
Contact Apple Support.
