I left my iPhone on top of my car. At about 50mph it fell off. It had spider web cracks all over the back and a small section of the front. But it still works perfectly. Thanks for making such a tough phone!

I found my iPhone on the side of the on-ramp thanks to "Find my iPhone". It was within 5 feet of where it had been tracked.

I long ago gave-up on Apple Support Communities as a source of technical info, and instead drop-by from time-to-time for entertainment purposes.
Thanks for the great story!

    Someone dropped something onto your computer.
    Someone pressed on the closed computer.
    Someone placed heavy objects on your computer.
    We can only guess since the someone was not us and we were not there when it happened.

  • I have a iPhone 5s fell into the water and damaged fingerprint sensor motion and lines of light appeared on the screen, but it still works and did not hurt anything else Can I replace it with a new phone

    No. The warranty does not cover damage.
    You can only get a replacement if you can talk Apple into selling you and out of warranty replacement.

    Thanks

    The ONLY source of unlocked iPhones in UK is Apple retail Stores ( Apple owned )
    all others will be locked to a carrier (did you buy from carphonewarehouse )
    Only the carrier who locked it can unlock the iPhone
    Apple do NOT unlock iPhones
    If you purchased from Apple (the Apple ) then contact the store
    if not it is locked to a carrier

  • All audio tracks disappeared form the Timeline, but audio still works

    Hi there.
    I've been using Premiere for quite a while (I still have the 2.0 version), but this problem never occured before. I'm running Premiere on Win Vista.
    I've been working on a project for a few weeks and eventually I got a version that was more or less final. Thus I tried to render everything a few times (Quicktime H264) but the render never succeeded because of an "API failure". Didn't manage to fix that, so I tried to render in wmv, just to check if it worked.
    Well, it worked, but when render finished all the audio tracks had disappeared form the Timeline. I tried to find a solution on the web but couldn't find anything useful. No matters how much I scroll down and/or move the windows, the audio tracks just are not there. And the triky part is that I still can hear the sound when playing the sequence! I tried to add some empty audio tracks and Premiere apparently does it (it records it in the history), but no audio track shows up...
    Any solutions?
    Thank you

    This sounds like a redraw problem, which is usually the fault of graphics hardware/driver.  Try checking those.

  • My imac won't connect to the internet, but safari still works

    I just bought my first iMac about a week ago and it was working fine
    then for no reason my programs slowly stopped connecting to the internet such as iChat
    but my Safari still works.
    how do i fix this problem?

    hockeyman68, Welcome to the discussion area!
    If Safari is still able to browse web pages, your iMac is still connected to the internet.
    Perhaps you should visit the iChat discussion area... and provide a lot more detail on what you are experiencing.

  • Premiere CC won't start up past the splash screen, but Photoshop CC works perfectly.   For Mac.

    I tried to open the crash report (saved as a word document) but it won't let me.
    Anyone with any insight on how I can get this going asap? 
    I would die if this could be fixed very very quickly!

  • HT203171 My curser pad is not working and the curser is going crazy.  I have tried all of the above but it still does not work

    My curser pad is not working and the curser is going crazy.  I have tried everything and it still does not work?

    I don't know what other solutions you've tried but on mine it was like a "Ghost in the Machine" (moving around and clicking on things on its own) and all I did to fix it was to lightly dampen a cotton ball with window cleaner (evaporates) and clean firmly around the inside edge of the pad and to also click it firmly quickly and many times to clean out ANY kind of dust or debris that has fallen into the cracks. worked GREAT for me , so far!!???

  • I have tried to restore my ipod multiple times. i have tried all of the solutoins but it wont work. what do i do?

    how do i fix this??

    iTunes will only copy back iTunes purchased music. If you don't still have a copy of the music that you copied from CDs or bought from other stores anywhere (e.g. on another computer or on your backup of your library) then there are some third-party programs listed half-way this page which should be able to copy them back : Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.

  • HT203301 iPhone 4S compass 180° out and other times all over the place after ios7 update. Anybody else had this?

    Since updating to iOS 7 the compass on my iPhone 4S is all over the place but mainly 180° out tried calibrating rebooting etc etc and no difference.!

    Nope, i generally hate iTunes for it being annoying and incredibly "damaging" to the computer (slows my computer down a shitload when booting atleast), so I've avoided it at any costs till now. Shame apple "forces" us to use their more "******" apps in order to "guard" ourselves against stuff like this... I'll survive, the most important pics are on facebook, and the apps and contacts I can easily replace. For my part Apple has one life less when it comes to me buying another product from them.
    Thanks for all the replys , i appreciate a community like this!

    Your Mac is definitely one of the supported models? http://www.apple.com/uk/osx/specs/
    If so, what happens when you try to download? Is it a case of nothing happens? If so, take a look at the suggestions under 'Stalled Download' in this link:
    http://www.wired.com/gadgetlab/2013/10/mavericks-issues-and-fixes/#slideid-23477 1
    Also, some usrs have found that logging out of the Mac App Store and then back in again and starting over has kick-started the download. It seems that the 5+gb download can take a long time to give any feedback as to what's happening.

  • I dont get sound for videos, games and music but ringtone still works. When i press volume buttons on side of phone i only get the picture of the nell and no little dots underneath. This is on my iphone 4s and ipad. It happened at the same time.

    Recurring theme with the 4s losing alerts except for the phone ringing.  Most complaints seem to center on the 7.1 upgrade.  The fix is dodgy, putting in a charger, playing a you tube video then pulling out the charger and wiggling it until you get the sound back.  When you get the sound back, the volume buttons start to work again.  Alternate solutions involve cleaning the docking port with a toothbrush, running a pick over the electrodes etc.

    Additional things to try.
    Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
    Change the channel on your wireless router. Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
    Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
