Is there any way Apple will provide me with a new phone?

I have had to upgrade my I phone 3GS to the lastest ios6.0.1. I did not want to do this but when I connected my phone to itunes it stated that I had to upgrade to sync my phone. My phone is now completely useless. I have no signal so I can't make calls. I have no 3G or wifi. I might as well throw the thing in the bin.
I have tried to find ways to downgrade the phone but all the advice stated that it was not a good idea to do this. So is there any way of getting a replacement phone from Apple?
I am really annoyed with Apple! I can't even have a conversation online with them without having to pay. 6 months until I can get a Samsung! Can't wait!

In a word: No.  I would take your iPhone in to an Apple Store, if you have one near you, and let a Genius examine the problem, which they will diagnose for free. 
Hope this helps

    If your iPhone, iPod, iPod Touch, or iPad is lost or stolen what do you do? There are things you should have done in advance - before you lost it or it was stolen - and some things to do after the fact. Here are some suggestions:

  • Is there any way Apple will replace my Macabook pro late 2011 version?

    I really dont know what the REAL defect of my macbook pro,it has always the same problem : NO POWER!, My unit shuts down automatically and doesn't turn on. The MagSafe's led blinks to red and green whenever i connect it to my MacBook pro . I brought it to a service center here in the Philippines for 3 times to be exact, the first time i brought it they said that the battery was just drained the same as the 2nd time. . And for the 3rd time they figured out that the logic board is the problem so they did replace it. When I received the unit, for only 8 hours my MacBook pro shuts down again, given that it is connected to MagSafe. Any suggestions or options? I just bought it last October,  and it is still under warranty..

    Since it's still under warranty, bring it back and have them check the battery.  Maybe the battery needs to be replaced too.
    One more thing, since you're running on 220 volts, bring your magsafe adapter too.  To make sure that it's not your adapter that's causing the problem.
    Please note; depending on which part of the Philippines you live in, make sure you have a surge protector when plugging in your MB Pro.  I know for a fact from experience, that there are power fluctuations in Manila when I went there for a visit.
    Maybe your MB got spiked when your electrical current fluctuates.  ( just a thought )

  • Is there any way that will notify me first before purchasing in iTunes? I have lots of purchased in iTunes in my credit card.

    Is there any way that will notify me first before purchasing in iTunes? I have lots of purchased in iTunes in my credit card that I didn't buy. Pls help.

    You should be prompted to enter your password when buying, if you aren't then on your iPhone you can set Settings > General > Restrictions > Require Password to 'Immediately' so that it has to be entered for every purchase (that setting has a default of 15 minutes during which it doesn't need re-entering).
    If you've been charged for items that you haven't bought then you can try contact iTunes Support via this link : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption

    Buy an external optical drive such as the Apple USB SuperDrive that is made specifically for that model.
    Use the optical drive of your old MBP to clone the DVDs to USB flash drives, then install from the flash drives.
    Connect both computers to your local network and then share the optical drive to install the software.

  • Is there any way to submit a design for a new apple product to apple

    Is there any way to get in contact with apple to submit design ideas? i think i have some really great ideas based on being i highschool student and working at the sametime.

    Here is Apple's official statement on the subject:
    http://www.apple.com/legal/intellectual-property/policies/ideas.html
    They'll take suggestions via their feedback pages, but by submitting that way you give up any and all rights to the idea as well as any possibiliity of credit or compensation for said ideas.

  • I live in Somerset, UK, but having returned from a trip to Germany, my Wifi iPad thinks its location is in Germany.  Is there any way to correct this? I am new to apple conventions, but thought this was an automatic update.

    I live in Somerset, UK, but having recently come back from a trip to Germany, my iPad thinks it is still  in Germany.  Is there any way to correct this?  I am new to apple conventions, but thought this was an automatic update when the iPad locks on to a local Wifi hotspot.  Any thoughts out there?

    Thank you all for responding - much appreciated, but none of the advice has shifted my location from Germany.  Time Zone is shown as Lonon, Region Format is shown as UK, and Reset Network Settings seemed only to switch off the Wifi connection.
    I'll leave it at that I think, and make do with the iPad thinking it's in Germany.
    Best wishes,

  • Is there any way to start weblogic server with java 7?

    Hi. Is there any way to start weblogic server with jdk 1.7?

    Hi,
    You can start your Weblogic Server with java 7(JDK 1.7) 
    Go to Domain_home/bin and click on StartWeblogic.cmd it will start your Admin Server
    It depends on which JDK you have used while creating domain if you have selected Jdk 1.7 it will use the same to start the server
    See the Ex:
    ================
    starting weblogic with Java version:
    java version "1.7.0_51"
    Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0_51-b13)
    Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 24.51-b03, mixed mode)

    If you are using a Lower version of JDK and want to upgrade to JKD 1.7 you can do so by changing setDomainEnv.sh in Weblogic
    Have a look at the below link to do so

  • Is there any way to retrieve my pictures from my lost phone if photostream was not on?

    I recently lost my iphone and I cannot find it using find my iphone because it says it is offline.  I had the "icloud backup" set to on, but I had photostream set to off.  Is there any way to retrieve my pictures from my lost phone without photostream being on?  The description of icloud backup says that it automatically backs up your camera roll so I'm praying there is a way. Help please =(

    Your iCloud backup includes your camera roll photos and videos by default (unless you excluded it from the backup in settings).  To recover them, you would need to restore the backup to a replacement iPhone (or iPod touch) as explained here: iCloud: Restore your iOS device from iCloud.  (You couldn't recover them by restoring the backup to an iPad, however.)
    Be aware that Apple will delete iCloud backups after 180 days of inactivity so you'll want to do this before this expires.
