You can exchange for an out of warranty exchange iPhone 4 at a price of $149 in US
you get an as new iPhone 4 and the Apple genius bar take your "bits"
Apple are about to offer a trade in programme in the US but I believe the donor iPhone must be in full working order to qualify

My lock button isn't working. I am using the assistive touch thing right now. Can I get my phone fixed?

My lock button isn't working. I am using the assistive touch thing right now. Can I get my phone fixed or replaced?

Rice is hit or miss but if you can (assuming you live in a home with a furnace) sit it up with the speakers facing down on an air flow register for about 10 minutes. The heat from the furnace will not harm the sensitive components and will dry the phone out nicely including the display layers. DO NOT USE a hair blower! The iPhone is capable of drying out much more easily than phones with removable backs as the iPhone while sumbermeged in liquid (for a short time) will take on limited moisture hence can be dried and keep on keeping on. My dauhter dropped her iPhone 5 in a toilet and it was fine after spending 24 hours in rice and 10 minutes on the air register while the furnace was producing heat.
One last thing. DO NOT POWER ON the phone until the drying out efforts have been completed and certainly DO NOT plug it in.

Place the iPod in recovery mode using one of these programs and then restore via iTunes:

Re: Satellite L655 - Touchpad On/Off button isn't working

Just this morning, I noticed that the on/off button of my Satellite's touchpad doesn't work, although the Fn+F9 key combo does work in activating and deactivating my touchpad.
It was working well last night until I slept, when I woke up, my laptop has restarted due to Windows updates during the night. I didn't take notice of anything since I was using a wireless mouse. Then upon reaching work and checking if I can activate my touchpad (Windows has loaded and logged on), the on-screen display that tells if the touchpad is active or not is not showing up and my touchpad on/off button won't work.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Oh, sorry about that... I'm using Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit... Came pre-installed with the laptop...
I already did what Xaver suggested. Uninstalled VAP, restart, reinstalled VAP, restart. Unfortunately, the problem still won't go away. As I've mentioned, the button works *BEFORE* logging in to a profile, after that, it doesn't anymore.
I might try doing a system restore to the point when my computer installed the Windows updates... That might do the trick...

If you have a shattered screen and the lock button doesnt work, but you only tell the apple store about the lock button, will they give you a whole new phone, or just fix the button. Even if you still have warranty

I recently broke my lock button when it dropped, and wont work again, also i shattered my screen a while back, but it didnt bother me. Now that i want to get the button fixed, will the apple store only fix the button, or the whole phone. I still have 2 weeks of warranty left so it's not like they'd fix one thing and not the other when either way they'll both be free ya know?

They will not give you anything.
They wil either return the device as is or replace it at the out of warranty replacement cost.

My mom just replace a iPod touch because the power button broke so she took it to the apple store and they replaced it when she got it it didn't work well so she called the apple store and they didn't do anything

My mom just got a iPod touch and it won't work well

She should go back to the Apple Store and set up a genius Bar appointment and have the iPod replaced.

I am having a problem getting into the App Store on my iPhone since the recent update, I have a 4s and it appears the feature tab is not working. When I try to go into the feature tab in the App Store I get a message "too many HTTP redirects" ?... Does anyone now hoe to fix this issue, the other tabs are working okay and everything is working on my iPad ?

Additional things to try.
Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) 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 (Auto is best). 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.

I have just updated my iphone 4s with ios7. since then i cant play movies from my netflix app with my av cable bought from the apple store. i get a message saying switch off mirroring on airplay, idont have air play and i dont have an apple tv. can anyone

I have just updated my iphone 4s with ios7. Since then i cannot play movies from my netflix app using my av cable to tv. which i baught from an apple store. i get a message saying turn off mirroring on airplay. i dont have airplay or an apple TV. what can i do?
Thanks jonmac22

Hi Everyone,
hope this message finds you all in time. The recent Apple TV update 5.1 is terrible. Apple knows it is which is why (thankfully for some relentless user -I have no idea who but I believe it was under threat) they have allowed to sign 5.0.2 again which means you can downgrade your Apple TV 2 and 3 to a 5.0.2 version via iTunes. Who knows how long they will keep the window open but I have downgraded my ATV early this morning. I couldn't post this earlier because I was out all day but I am doing it now.
Here's how to do it:
1) Connect your ATV to your computer via a Mini USB (not included with ATV but included with many other electronic devices) - in order for your ATV to appear in iTunes you must FIRST plug the USB cable to your computer and ATV and only THEN plug the power cable.
2) Download your ipsw restore file from Apple.
5.0.2 (ATV 2): AppleTV2,1_5.0.2_9B830_Restore.ipsw
5.0.2 (ATV 3): AppleTV3,1_5.0.2_9B830_Restore.ipsw
3) In iTunes select yout ATV, hold SHIFT and click on Restore
4) Find and choose the downloaded IPSW file in the Open Dialog Box and hit Next
5) As long as Apple still signs that version the Restore process will begin and will take a few minutes to complete.
Enjoy!

I took my iPhone 5 into the Apple Store @the Grove b/c my sleep button stopped working. Apple would not replace my phone. Why do some get replaced

Was just wondering why some phones are replaced & others not? Is there a secret hand shake or specific "terms" to use to describe your problem?

Really? Seriously? You expect Apple to support a warranty for years because you plan on using the phone for more than two years. Buy yourself a TV at Best Buy and see how well they will respond after 18 months when the power button does not work.
If the sleep button is not working the phone is NOT in excellent shape. Apple stands behind their products but only during the warranty period. You are outside the warranty period. You will have to pay. Using the TV analogy above how much of a discount do you think Best Buy would give you on a new TV in exchange for your damaged TV.
You seem to be a member of the "ME" generation where you think everything is owed to you. Get over it. Either pay or do without.

My Ipod Touch 5's home button is stuck. What do I do? Do I go to the apple store and get a new home button? Or do I need to replace the entire Ipod?

I got my Ipod around last December and now it's July. I've been using my Ipod constantly. I've never had a problem with it, until last night. At first, my home button wasn't responding as quickly as it usually does. Then, it stopped working all together. I tried pushing my finger down on it as hard as I could but it still was stuck. Please help. Thank you for listening.

- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

If defective, and not abused Apple will exchange it at no cost

Should I take my iPhone 4 to the apple store to get my vibrate button? Because it doesn't go down all the way

My iPhone 4 vibrate button doesn't go down all the way, could I get that fixed?

If it is defective and still under warranty then they wil replace the iphone for free.
If it is not under warranty then you can buy an out of warranty replacement. In the U.S that would cost $149

How much does it cost at the Apple Store to get a virus off of my MacBook?

I've had a virus on my MacBook for a couple months now, but I live in the middle of nowhere and the closest Apple store is an hour and a half away. I want it to be worth the trip. How much would it cost for me to take it to the store and have them take the virus off? Thanks in advance!
