  • IPhone 5 stuck in portrait mode after upgrade to iOS 8

    iPhone 5 stuck in portrait mode after upgrade to iOS 8.
    Phone was fine before the upgrade, iOS 8.1 did not fix the issue.
    Have done a factory reset at Genius bar and they say it's a hardware issue and have gotten this response below:
    "Now, when you perform an update to any iOS device many system checks are run to verify that all components are working as they should. This is part of the firmware update process. When these checks are run sometimes issues are detected, even if all seemed to be running well previously. When this happens one of two things can occur. Either the hardware will be deactivated completely, or it will be locked in a state of use so that the device can still be used. In the case of the gyroscope for screen rotation, the firmware locks in place so that while not perfect, the device can still remain on some functioning level. This is what appears to have happened when you updated. The software itself did not cause any failure, but it detected a currently upcoming issue and prevented it from becoming worse."
    All I want is a replacement but they want me to pay £199 since it's out of warranty.
    Anyone have the same issue?

    If the device is out of warranty you must pay the out of warranty replacement fee to have your iPhone replaced. If the phone was still under warranty the phone would have been replaced at no charge.

  • Tried to download itunes and now  my iphone does not even work.I have been on the phone with apple for 3 hours and it still won't work.I have a service pack 2 in this land computer and it won't upgrade .I do have the latest verision of itunes.Then we put

    I tried to download itunes to my phone.First it wanted it to download the new itunes.We also updated our Windows xp.I kept coming up can't complete because there was an error when setting up.One time is was error 9 and they tried to help me.I have a laptop with the internet and we tried it there.We were able to get service pack 3 downloaded.So we did upgrade the itunes on the laptop even though I have never put music on there but there is some from someone .I never heard of many of the songs.Any how I did try to download and restore on the laptop and then come to the land computer and see if the box comes up to restore the  contacts.Well it didn 't work and now my phone won't even turn on .I have no one to call if something happened to me.I am going to the Apple store right off the bat tomorrow morning.I have everything in the box and the phone and reciept and see if they make it work or give me another one.I have to take my sim card again since They gave it back to me.I bet it means I can't sync the photos in the phone.Even with 2 computers and talking with 3 people it still did not work.All because I wanted to download the itunes to my phone.I don't care now if I can just get my phone to work and my contacts are in there.I hope I don't have to buy the ringtones again I bought 4 of them.Any one have this problem and what did you do to fix it?

    The Apple rep tried both those ideas and both failed. The rep was connected to my computer so she
    could see my screen and show me exactly what to do. My iPhone (not ipad) never has synced photos to my computer,
    I have to use explorer to copy and paste or cut and paste them to my PC . It is the syncing back to my iPhone of only the much smaller selected photos that used to sync in itunes but now the itunes sync button cannot be clicked to make that happen. And the reason I only sync back selected photos is that my total PC pictures file is about 40 Gb. Also I find it a lot more useful to have a small number of folders ( no sub-folders of course) so I can quickly locate on my iPhone pictures from different categories such as family, autos, etc. None of this posed any problems for over a year until just recently. I am reading on other threads of many people with other iTunes syncing problems, and wonder now if it is the latest iTunes updates that are causing the problems? While I have tried removing and reinstalling iTunes on my PC, I don't know how or if you can, install a previous version?

  • My iPhone 4 broke so I had to buy a new one.  I backed up the old one on iTunes and when I went to restore the new one it won't allow me to because it is saying that I have the wrong password.  I tried changing the password and it still won't work. HELP!

    My iPhone 4 screen shattered so I had to buy a new one.  I backed up my shattered iPhone to iTunes so that I could restore my new one.  When I went to restore it, it said that I had an incorrect password although I know it was right.  I tried changing the password and it still told me that I had an incorrect password.  So now my new phone has lost all its pictures, its music, its apps.... is there anything I can do to get my phone to restore?? PLEASE HELP!

    If you can't get the password correct, you CANNOT restore from that backup.
    However, if you've been using your phone as recommended by Apple, there should be minimal data loss.
    Your iTunes library is on your computer, so you can synch all your apps, music, movies, ringtones, etc, on to your new phone.
    Similarly, contacts should be synched to Address Book, Outlook, or a cloud service for you to easily synch back to your new phone.
    Pictures taken from your old phone and not synched to your computer are lost, but you would have been synching those photos to your computer frequently as recommended.  Other photos that you synch TO your iPhone are still on your computer.
    You won't be able to get text messages back.

  • I can't use my password to open icloud. I changed my apple password and it still won't work with icloud

    I can't use my apple password to open icloud.  I changed my apple password and still can't open icloud on my pc. What can I do or what am I doing wrong.
    Thanks

    Sorry to ask but... are you absolutely certain you have entered your Apple ID and account password correctly?
    If you use the same Apple ID for iCloud and the iTunes store, see if you are able to log into the iTunes store from either your computer or your iPod.

  • HT201210 iPhone gets stuck in recovery mode when I update the software (last 3 updates and with 2 different phones) and I have to take it into the store. What's the problem?

    I have downloaded the most recent version of iTunes to my laptop and am smart enough to have backed up my entire phone to my laptop before updating the iOS software, but this is the third time that a software update has bricked my phone (first an iPhone 4S then a 5) and I don't have the time to go to the Apple store and wait for my everything to restore. I am running Windows updates and will restart my laptop to retry the connection between my iPhone and iTunes, but looking for suggestions.

    Yeah same exact problem as me.  EXACTLY.  In a way I'm glad more than just me are having the problem so I know it's probably not on my end and on the apple side....I HOPE that is what it is.
    MAN, a whole day and a half????  Crap I need my phone to work....
    I really think it's the apple servers because it errors 3014 right when iTunes says "verifying phone....." something....  It goes away so fast I can't read the rest, but I think that is the step where it verifies phone to the apple servers, which are overloaded, I assume.
    It's gotta be that.  How many other people are having this same exact issue?

  • When I do a search, with MSN as my homepage, it pops up in a new window not a tab like it used to. MSN says it is Firefox related. How do I fix this? I have the option selected to open new windows in tabs instead and it still won't work.

    <blockquote>Locking duplicate thread.<br>
    Please continue here: [/questions/832115]</blockquote><br>
    I use Firefox 4.0.1 and have MSN set as my homepage. Recently, even with the option set to make windows open in tabs instead, if I do searches on the MSN page, the results pop up in a new window. I contacted MSN and they said it is something to do with Firefox. It didn't use to do this, even after initially upgraded to 4.0.1, but started about a week ago and even with me doing nothing to my computer. How do I get this to stop and go back to new tabs instead?
    It does not do this using Google, AOL, Yahoo, or another other search, just MSN/Bing.

    That's strange. It's possible that you are having a problem with some Firefox add-on that is changing your Firefox's normal behavior. Have you tried disabling all add-ons (just to check), to see if Firefox goes back to normal? Also have you tried uninstalling & re-installing flash? If you need help un-installing Flash see http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/uninstall-flash-player-windows.html. You also could try safe mode.

  • My ipad air won't charge. I am using the correct cable supplied with it. I have restarted it and it still won't work.

    How could Microsoft come up in a forum about an Apple problem?  We have heard for years how superior Apple products are but we've never had as many headaches and problems with our Windows PCs over the years as we have with the Apple devices we now have.  My wife has the most recent iPad and my son has the most recent ipod Touch. Earlier problems notwithstanding, the iOS 7 upgrade was horrible and hard to imagine for a device where the company controls all of the hardware and the software with no variants.  As for Microsoft, I can say I have programmed on many various platforms from PolyForth to Unix to Windows and .NET.  I think what many Apple users don't understand about Windows is the sheer magnitude of variables in making the software and all upgrades work for such a myriad array of hardware platforms and usage scenarios across an enormous number of partners and small to large enterprises.  Anyone who has worked with a large integrated system can get a sense of this.  I work in healthcare and our HIS system is rated #1 in it's class (built on a derivitive of an old MIT OS) but due to it's vast integration capabilities and the variety of usage and setup variables from site to site, it requires daily dilligence in error reporting and resolution across all of it's applicaitons.  Microsoft Windows works and integrates with a massive number of other Microsoft client and server solutions that are used by the vast majority of enterprises in the world. It's no small feat to keep the Microsoft software stack in good working order.  Of course everyone is entitled to their opinion but I wish we could past this ABM mentality that pervades online forums. I'm not sure if you've noticed but the Apple forums are jam packed with folks like yourself and me having problems with Apple hardware or software so I'm not sure where we can say one is better than the other, even if you could carve out some realistic benchmarks from which we could compare them on an even playing field. 
    With all the said, and I apologize but feel that the Anti MS anecdotes belong left long in the past, but any ideas on how we can get the supplied power cables to charge the devices they came with? I don't believe I've ever encountered a problem at the power cable level like this in which 2 cables are not working on 2 different devices. I think it points to software problems but as someone else mentioned about display settings, I'm not sure how your display settings affect the charging of a device in a non display mode. Would that suggest the thunderbolt cables are not capable of delivering enough charge to keep up with idle power consumption? 

  • I have an iPhone 4S and I cannot get the iMessage feature to work.  I've done the fix that was online and it still won't work.

    I need help getting the iMessage feature to work.  I've done the fix that is shown online several times and still cannot get it to work.  Are there any other suggestions out there to fix this problem?

    HI,
    What was "the Fix" ?
    Where was it On Line ?
    So your iPhone is on a Wifi network ?
    You have gone to Settings > Messages and Enabled Messages.
    You cannot then send iMessages  from your iPhone Number ?
    You should be able to sent to other iOS devices that are using other iPhone Numbers or Apple IDs or to Macs that are running Messages with the iMessages account enabled and those may also be using iPhone Numbers or Apple IDs depending how they were set up.
    On the iPhone in Settings > Messages you can then add an Apple ID
    You can then chose to Send from the Apple ID or iPhone number as the Start from option.
    Adding the Apple ID links the Apple ID and iPhone Number and if you have a Mac, and are running Messages with the same ID, they will sync (Display on all Devices) all the subsequent iMessages you receive.

  • Help Please!!! Iphone 4s stuck in recovery mode

    My iphone is stuck in recovery mode. I have tried restoring it four times, and each time it appears to be successful rebooting the apple logo but then it returns to the recovery mode screen. My home button broke the day before. I don't know if that is possibly related. Any advice would help. I don't really have time to run to an apple store right now as they are far away from me.

    Since your home button is broken, you will either have to "run to an Apple Store" when you have time, or visit an Authorized Apple Service Center if that is more convenient.

  • Camera Video and Photo Playback Stuck in Portrait Mode

    When viewing video or photos recorded with my new 4G iPod Touch (within the Camera App) the orientation of the playback is stuck in portrait mode. No matter how I rotate the Touch the orientation of the video or photo playback stays in portrait mode. Wondering how to get the content to rotate to landscape mode for viewing? When using other apps on my Touch, rotating the Touch works fine (ie. the app switches to landscape mode). Have already tried locking and unlocking the Orientation Lock but this has no effect on the Camera App playback. Any assistance would be appreciated.

    My wife's 4th gen did this last night. I had to reboot it to get it to act normal again. I saw that happen once before on either my 3rd gen touch or my iPhone 4, but I forget which it was. In that case it needed a reboot as well.
