Is it true that Apple will not replace an LCD under warranty?

I have an iPhone 4s, that I bought around a month ago. It is under warranty. I have been having issues with the phone since the day I received it in the mail. One being that I get dial tones and/or other static-y noises at the beginning of all outgoing and incoming calls, usually for about 2-3 seconds. The phone also randomly dies, even if it has 15, 20 sometimes even 30 percent battery left. The biggest issue I've ran into is the front screen of the phone popping off. Not completely, but enough to notice. The way I can tell when it happens is because the home button will feel weird, like majorly indented and then light can be seen coming out through the side of the phone. The problem is that each time this happens the screen would get little crack-looking disturbances or just discolored all over, and then tonight it popped out AGAIN while I was talking to my mom and then screen went black and the phone just started making a weird bonging sound over and over. For lack of a better term, I'm ******.
The phone itself is perfect. No scratches, no dents, nothing. It's always been in a case.
My husband is adamant that I'm wasting my time because Apple will not replace an LCD screen, but obviously the phone has had issues since I received it and it's not anything that I did! I spoke to a very nice representative who made an appointment at the Apple Store to have it checked out. Has anyone had any luck with getting something like this taken care of under warranty? Thanks!

The AppleTV update was not mandatory. It is not applied automatically, and will continue to function without an update. Others have reported successfully exchanging updated AppleTVs for models with earlier versions of the OS when there was a problem with the update.
Anybody whose equipment does not match Apple's specifications (e.g. those with TVs that do not have built-in HDMI ports, or that cannot accept a 720p signal) should be very wary of installing any updates. As these are not supported displays, Apple is unlikely to test updates on them, and it is possible that an update will cause loss of function. It would be wise to wait to hear from others with similar TVs before you decide whether to apply an update. This also means that if you own an unsupported TV, it is possible that you will not be able to get access to future updates that include features that you would like to have.
Frankly, if you have an unsupported TV and are dead-set against replacing it, you probably should consider returning or selling your AppleTV and buy a product, such as the Roku box, that supports your type of TV.

Is It True That Apple Will Not Fix This Flickering Issue?

Very disappointing to read so many postings that Apple techs are saying this problem will not be fixed, thus ruining what had been a great experience for so many. If this is true, this issue warrants public notification.

Is true that apple will replace I pad 3 to new iPad for the customers?

Is true that apple will replace I pad 3 to new iPad for the customers?

When the iPad 4 was released, Apple said that persons who had purchased an iPad 3 in the prior 30 days could exchange it for an iPad 4. This replacement period is over.

No.

Standard troubleshooting...
Try a reset by pressing the home and sleep buttons until you see the Apple logo, ignoring the slider. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.
If still a problem restore with your backup.
If still a problem restore as new, i.e. without your backup. See how it runs with nothing synced to it.
If still a problem, it's likely a hardware issue. If still under warranty, take it in to Apple for a potnetial warranty replacement. If not, you may be able to get an out-of-warranty replacement for $149.

Apple will not replace my battery

I just got off the phone with apple support and they are telling me that they will not replace my battery. i have only 147 cycles on it and it will go from 100% charged to dead in 2 mins or so. the thing is. i can have 100% and then unplug it and it will turn off shortly after but when i plug it back in and boot it back up it says my battery is at like 96%. why does it shut off at 96% and refuse to turn back on. I dont understand. Apple will not replace this battery because its not in the recall and and not in anomaly category. So honestly what do they think im trying to pull here.

yeah thats what im saying my battery does fit this criteria, on the site they specify no model numbers nor do they say what serial numbers are subject to replacement, implying any battery that has X symptoms is eligible for replacement. ya know ? The site says:
Battery exhibits low charge capacity/runtime when using a fully charged battery with a battery cycle count (as shown in System Profiler) of less than 300.
And thats exactly what my battery is doing. I guess if i go to the nearest apple store and have a apple genius look at this and agree with me they will go around the warrantee and get me a new battery anyway. thing is, the nearest apple store is like 5 hrs away and ugh.... ya know ?

Is it true that streams will be replaced by dataguard?

Hi
Another DBA told me that i shouldn't waist my time with streams as it willl disaper very soon for the benefit of dataguard as dataguard can do all streams can + more.
Is this true?
I waisted my time with Oracle application server 10g that is now dead also, don't want to do the same errors.
Please tell me that thisisnt true

This experienced DBA is not totally fair. You don't use Streams and dataguard for the same purpose.
Dataguard is meant to replicate a whole open DB toward a closed DB. You have to option to use the target DB as read only, but not much.
Streams may replicate whole or sub parts of a DB, toward one to many target read/write DB. This allow merge of data on the target,
and even Multi-master site. Moreover Streams cat alter the data/structure to fit a goal before it ever reach the target DB.
Dataguard will not allow this, specially the physical standby. Your target DB is a strict replica of the source data,
so forget any schema of one central master replicating towards local sites, unless local site a strict read-only replica of the central.
Golden Gate uses definition files to perform replication from outside Oracle (reading archivelogs)
while streams is plug into the Oracle Kernel that you configure using packages and API, not always easy.
Golden gate is more simple, allow more easy heterogeneous replication,
but it is more slower and if far from offering all the feature of streams.
Last, heterogeneous replication in Streams is covered with Oracle Gateway and is not easy to set-up.
So it is up to you to decide which product in function of your requirement.

I am aware that apple does not replace the battery for my ipod touch 4th generation, but I wanted to know if i purchase a replacement battery, can they recommend someone to replace the battery for me?

I have a ipod touch 4th generation, 32gb, purchased at least 3 years ago. It will not hold a charge, so I would like to purchase a replacement battery. Can the apple store recommend someone to install the battery for me once I purchase it from them?

Apple does not repl;ace the battery in your iPod. They exchange your iPod for a refurbished one with a new battery.
A third-party place like the following will replace your battery for less. Google for more.

Why is it that Apple will not aloow a carrier service other that At&t?

There are US Soldiers over seas who would love to get there hands on apple products but once again no love for us. First we can get things mailed to us now you will not allow us to get you iPhone. Windows suck and we would live Apple Products. So what do we do???? There are other carriers who would get more users that AT&T, T-Moblie is worldwide. Millions of people as with AT&T?????

I think the stumbling block for Verizon was far more to do with the wish to continue V-cast, their proprietary media-sharing service from which they make a lot of money, while Apple would have wanted to continue dependence on iTunes. That, in itself, would have been an inevitably serious conflict of corporate needs.
But I suspect Verizon is smarting from the loss of customers to AT&T, not just because of the number who jumped ship in the first wave of iPhone customers, but those who will not renew their contracts later. Verizon can't fail to know that as much as the iPhone has it's problems, it IS the device the cellphone industry is going to be measured against for some time, and while many manufacturers and cell providers are going to hurry to catch up, the iPhone will continue to develop from the starting point we see now. The fact they are pushing the Chocolate as doing what the iPhone can do shows they have realized they are in some degree of trouble and need to deflect the attention somewhat.
All in all though, unlike all their Mac, iPod, iTunes/media efforts, the iPhone was never a device Apple could wholly control, since it relies entirely on a cellphone infrastructure to not only deem what it can do and can't do, but how it goes about it. The resulting product is a synergy of the good and bad points from both companies... which isn't an entirely inspiring thought!

Is it true that I will not be able to update my browser for my g4 laptop?

I would like to know if apple is not letting users upgrade their safari browsers on older powermac g4 laptops?

Many PowerPC users are moving to Ten Four Fox:
http://www.floodgap.com/software/tenfourfox/
It uses technology from more recent versions of FireFox that only run on Intel Macs but ports them to run on 10.4 and 10.5 PPCs.
By default, plug-ins are disabled. However, you can use these instreuctions:
http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=1226744
to activate plug-ins and use Flash.
As many web technologies are no long optimized for the PowerPC, even 10-4-Fox can't restore neck-snapping speed, but the compatibility with modern sites is quite good.

Iphone 3g Cracks and Apple will not replace!!!???

I bought my Iphone 3g white the 15 September, last friday the 23 October I noticed some little cracks, just the beginning of the Apple cracks story...
Friday 12 o'clock I look on the inernet and start posting on some sites
17 o'clock I went to the local Apple store, the third employee noticed the cracks, but they do nothing, I must contact contact the operator.
Saterday 24October after had some explanations on different forums, I call the Iphone Support for Belgium. They couldn't help me and connected me to the Apple EU call center in France,
The apple employee asked about repairing Italian Iphones(yes it's an italian),
She came back with "NO problem, we won't repair it, we will replace it and your iphone will go to our engineers. Ups will come after 48hours and you will have the new one in 5days.
Sunday, Monday,...Wednesday, No ups, I look on the support link and noticed "replacement suspended", so I called again the Support. 3o minutes to find the problem...
Apple: Your Iphone was bought in Italy and is simlock, we can't repair it...
Me : Yes it's italian, but apple won't repair it because the cracks, normally I will have a new one, and italian iphones are without Simlock just like in Belgium
Appleotheremployee: Your Iphone is italian, so Apple IT will replace it but you must be domiciliated in Italy, otherwise UPS can't come...
SO IPHONE 3G with gps is not for travelling people, you can do it all with it but onl @ HOME!
Apple Has an international support, what is the problem to give the order to UPS international and replace that Iphone, It will be a lot easier but no, NO REPLACEMENT!
If Apple has such a Support strategy......they will just like WINDOWS VISTA!

Apple products have international service, with the exception of the iphone.
It is, in most countries restricted to the country in which the iphone is sold.
Your situation is certainly a very unpleasant one, but this is the way the warranty on iphone works.
"Apple may restrict service to the country where Apple or its authorized distributors originally
sold the hardware product"
From the warranty.

How can I reset my IPAD 2 to resolve the fact that Apple will not let me use the APPLE ID and passwords that I want to use becasue they may have been used in the past year. I am very close to donating this contraption to the Good Will.

I have been an Apple User for almost two decades and have had no problems with my G4 Powerbook, my Intel MacMini, nor several other Macs as well as Windows 7 machines. However, the IPAD2 poses a problem of unfathomable disgust with the concept and implementation of the Apple ID. There is one for the computer, there is one for support, and there is one for itunes, and possibly another one for apps. There are different passwords for each. I am continually faced with notification that my Apple ID is incorrect or the password is incorrect. I have to keep an Excel spreadsheet with all of this unnecessary NANNY State protection matched only in pervasiveness by the Federal government.
I am told that an Apple ID can never be destroyed and replaced. Who dreamed that one up? I am told I cannot use a password that has been used in the past year. Why? By whose authority? I am not a walking encyclopedia that remembers every telephone number he ever dialed. Thankfully my cheap LG clamshell telephone keeps numbers and talks to Ford Sync successfully.
Bottom line is that the IPAD has become almost totally useless since I cannot change the several necessary passwords to anything I can remember because they are not novel enough. I also never seem to be able to keep the Apple IDs straight as they are too numerous to remember and I don't want to remember them anyway. Why? Even if you enventually get the ID right you have the wrong password and have to go through a merry-go-round of emails to change the password to something you have already used in the past year which is not permitted.
Has anyone out there used a competitive device with less cumberson overhead? Surely this is not the best American technology can produce.
Thanks for your comments.

Thanks to all who responded. You are all absolutely correct. However, this Ipad was a gift to my wife who was dying of cancer in the hospital and wanted some entertainment. So I started it out with her Apple ID. After she passed away I moved from Sacramento to Austin and eventually proceeded to get the Apple ID changed from my wife's to mine. Meanwhile when she was in the hospital I opened an Itunes account in my name to buy movies for her. That was the first mistake.
Then during the move to Austin I lost track of the IPAD and later found it and tried to use support but could not remember the proper ID. Later the folks at the Apple store helped me create a new and novel Apple ID that was unfortunately unlike any other.
The botom line is that I am stuck with three Apple IDs and three passwords. I am told by Apple there is nothing they can do about this as IDs cannot be changed or destroyed. I can quit using them or start a new account but when I try to do that the system keeps remembering too many things from the past and resists.
Even if I sold this Ipad and bought a new one, the system memory is still there.
I think the real problem is that destop and laptop computers are totally owned by an individual and that individual can control logins and passwords to his liking. IPADs and similar Apple products are different in that the corporation has built in their own intrusion detection schemes because of the relation to Itunes.
One thing I thought about is to open a new Itunes account pretendding to be a new customer with my regular Apple ID. Perhaps I could do the same with Apple Support.
Thanks for your comments.

Is it true that apple will trade you a 6th gen iPod for your 1st gen?

HT4061 I had read that Apple will replace a cracked screen on an iPad the first time for free. Does anyone know if this is true?

I have read that Apple will replace a cracked screen on an iPad the first time it is damaged for free. Does anyone know if this is true?

apple's official policy is: cracked screens = accidental damage
With iPad 1 and 2, accidental damage is not covered by any apple care and a replacement iPad starts at $249 and goes up depending on the model.
iPad3's were eligible for Apple Care + which offers two instances of accidental damage repair for $49 each time
The 'apple store replaced my cracked ipad for free' is largely an urban legend. It's possibly happened, but those that have been on the receiving end were people that happened to get a store manager that defied Apple's official policy. Not to say it hasn't potentially happened, but it's an exception not the rule. And if you happen to be lucky enough to experience it, that's just what it is, luck. Not something to be counted on or expected.

If your phone is out of warranty you will be given the option of buying a new phone or getting one with an out of warranty replacement, which is cheaper that buying a new phone.
