Iphone 4s error -1, purchased in April 2012 in the US...now I am in Greece and cannot get it repaired as it was purchased in the US and it is still under warranty.

Hi,
I purchased my iphone 4s in April 2012 in the US and after doing an update it now has error -1 and after many calls with techinicians nothing will fix it. I want to send it in for repair as it is still under warranty but I now live in Greece and I have been told that I cannot send it in as I do not have a US address for the replacement. There is no apple store in Greece and I have been to the authorised reseller here and they cannot help me as it is was purchased in the US.
What can I do????????

The warranty is NOT international. You will need to take it back to the US or send it to someone you know there to take it in for service.  Apple will not accept an international shipment for service.

  • I have a Mac Pro Intel Xeon 3.2 Ghz Quad core (mid 2012) using OSX 10.7.5) and cannot get iDVD to run.

    I have a Mac Pro Intel Xeon 3.2 Ghz Quad core (mid 2012) using OSX 10.7.5) and cannot get iDVD to run. I tried 7.0.4 and 7.1.2, both from Apple software update and both crash during "loading themes". I am reluctant to upgrade OSX from 10.7.5 because I do not want to loose Final Cut Express 4.0.1. Apple Care no longer supports iDVD. I want a version if iDVD that supports Chapter markers as in iDVD 7.?.? that i used with my old (now deceased) Apple Power PC Mac Pro.

    iDVD 7 should work fine with 10.7.5.  Try this basic troubleshooting fix:
    1 - delete the IDVD preference file, com.apple.iDVD.plist, that resides in your
    User/Home/Library/ Preferences folder.
    2 - delete IDVD'S cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
    User/Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iDVD folder. 
    3 - launch IDVD and try again.
    NOTE: In Lion and Mountain Lion the Home/Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and press the Return key - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.

  • How do i know if my phone is still under warranty?

    How do i tell if my phone is still under warranty? 
    It wont charge.  Tried 3 cords, only says its charging when you hook it to an 120v outlet but as soon as u unplug it goes black again.  Does nothing when hooked to a computer.

    How can I tell if my iPhone is in-warranty?
    Apple's Limited Warranty for iPhone begins on the date that the iPhone is originally purchased and covers the iPhone for one year from that date. To determine your warranty coverage, find your iPhone serial number and enter it in Apple's Check Your Service and Support Coverage tool. Apple may need to examine your proof-of-purchase document to verify your iPhone's warranty status.
    Note: The service coverage information described at the Apple Support site is based on the date-of-purchase information available to Apple, depending on when or whether you registered your product or if you purchased it from an Apple Authorized Reseller. If you believe that the information is inaccurate, please update it by using the Apple Product Registration tool (may not be available in all languages).

  • Screen is broken...still under warranty?

    my screen cracked and i asked the tech guys about it. they said that they can repair it free of charge. so i click on the link they give me and it says i have to purchase their service. how to i get them to repair it for free? and it is still under warranty.

    look i know that there was some ipods that were
    having lcd issues and the screen was cracking inside
    instead of externally. that WAS covered by the
    warranty, or have u not read previous posts where it
    was covered. don't get all snotty with me in ur
    replies either. u Don't know everything
    That was a very very very small fraction of iPod nanos. I do not believe that iPods are still experiencing that.
    From this article...
    Our figures show this issue has affected less than 1/10 of 1 per cent of the total iPod nano units that we've shipped (as of that point--many months ago). I doubt that newer iPod nanos are having the same issue.

    My iPhone 4S speaker suddently doesn't work properly from one week ago? How I can do? 4s is still under warranty?

    Have you tried any troubleshooting steps, like resetting you iPhone, for example?  Or restoring it?
    If not by all means do so because your problem could be caused by software glitches that could be solved resetting or restoring.
    Warranty is for one year from date of purchase and two years if you bought Apple Care at the time of purchase. If your iPhone has a hardware issue within warranty, it would be replaced by Apple.  If it is already out of warranty, you might be eligible for an out of warranty replacement where you pay a much lower amount but this varies according to the country and currency, so it is better to check with Apple or with an authorized reseller.

    No, iPhone warranty is not International.  You have to return the phone to the country you purchased the phone in to get warranty service.

  • HT201198 Lost receipt but serial number is still under warranty

    My wife's Ipad 2 has started showing backlight bleeding. We could no longer find the receipt of purchase. i went online and it showed that the serial number is still under warranty until October 29.  We live in Manila and the ipad was bought in Apple Center SM North Edsa Annex. Can I avail of the warranty despite not having the proof of purchase or the receipt?
    Anyone from Manila who experienced this in the past?

    You posted in the iPad forum instead of the MacBook Pro forum. To get answers to your question, next time post in the proper forum. See https://discussions.apple.com/index.jspa  I'll request that Apple relocate your post.
     Cheers, Tom

  • Trade 2nd that's still under warranty for 3rd gen?

    Am I able to trade my second gen 8gb iPod touch for a thrid gen? It's still under warranty, but I also have a reason to trade it. There is a crack under the home button. So am I able to trade my iPod touch second gen for a thrid gen, or will they just send me another second gen?

    Are you talking about the Apple warranty? Or perhaps an extended warranty you purchased through another retailer? You need to look at the policy for whichever warranty you are referring to. If it's the Apple on then no, they will send you an iTouch of the same make that your current one is...refurbished most likely. That's assuming they cover your damage. Some extended warranties will simply refund you the amount you paid for the iTouch (or the current value) in the form of a giftcard so you can purchase another one or use the credit for other merchandise within their store. Some will repair or replace in the same manner that Apple would.

  • What would apple do if my ipod touch is broken and is still under warranty?

    What would apple do if my ipod touch is broken and is still under warranty?

    It depends on how it was broken. Apple are very strict when it comes to enforcing warrantys so unless the damage was a result of a manufacturing error then you have little chance of having your device replaced or serviced without having to pay a fee.
    The warranty states that Apple do not cover;
    damage resulting from accident - ie. accidentally dropping it
    liquid damage
    disassembly
    unauthorised service - ie. trying to fix the hardware yourself
    unauthorised modifications - ie. "jailbreaking"

  • Can I return my Ipod touch 4th generation and get an Ipad, if my Ipod is still under warranty?

    Can I return my Ipod touch 4th generation and get an Ipad 2, if my ipod is still under warranty?

    The warranty doesn't cover that. Sell it and put the money towards a new device.

  • HT1848 I am trying to transfer my purchases from my iPhone 5 to my new Mac computer.  I get the message stating that it can only be synced with one computer at a time.  I have tried the 2 other ways and I get no options to transfer my purchases.  Help?

    If you see Devices in the big list on the left-hand side of iTunes, it should show the name of your iPhone right below it. You can right-click (or hold ctrl and left click) on the name of the iPhone there, and choose "transfer purchases from iPhone".
    If you're on iTunes 11, you won't see the big list of the left until you go to the View menu at the very top (where you see iTunes/File/Edit/View/etc) and choose Show Sidebar. Then do the same thing: right-click or ctrl and left-click on the iPhone's name below Devices and "transfer purchases from iPhone".
    It'll ask you to authorize the computer for your Apple ID if you haven't yet; to do that, you just type your Apple ID and password in when it asks. If it says you are not authorized but doesn't automatically give you an option to do so, then you can go to the Store menu at the very top and choose "authorize this computer".

    Hello HaithamOkeely,
    We've an article that provides the following troubleshooting steps that may help stabilize your iPhone.
    If the device is unresponsive or if certain controls aren't working as expected, restart your device.
    If the device remains unresponsive or does not turn on (or power on), reset your device.
    If there is no video or if the screen remains black, verify that the device has enough charge to turn on:
    If you are using an iPad, ensure that it's connected to the USB Power Adapter supplied with the device.
    Let it charge for at least twenty minutes, then see if it starts normally.
    If there is no image on the screen, press the Sleep/Wake button to attempt to wake the device.
    If the screen displays a red battery icon, continue charging the device until the battery is fully charged. Learn more about charging iPhone and iPod touch, or iPad.
    If the above steps do not resolve the issue, or the if the screen remains black or shows a persistent Apple logo, try restoring with iTunes:
    Connect the device to your computer and open iTunes.
    If the device appears in iTunes, select and click Restore on the Summary pane. Learn more aboutrestoring iOS software.
    If the device doesn't appear in iTunes, try to force the device into recovery mode, and then restore it.
    If the above steps do not resolve the issue, contact Apple.

  • Defective iPhone 5/ How do I know if my iphone is still under warranty?

    Basically, just a few days ago I started experiencing a problem with my Sleep/Wake button and I noticed that it only works when pressed on the far left side. If I were to go to the Apple Store to try and it replaced, how can I tell if my iPhone is still under warranty and if they will replace it before driving all the way over to the Apple Store? (which is about 2 hours away from me.)

    So basically I have warranty (can get my iPhone replaced) until this date?
