  • Apple Website Needs E-Mail Contact Info

    It would be nice if Apple would put some E-mail contact info to an Apple rep because no every issue can be solved by the online FAQ and other help files.
    Now I know there is a number but not everyone has access to a phone. Now myself, I am in a strange situation, but I need support from Apple on my 300$ IPod. I am a soldier serving in Iraq, and before I was sent to Iraq I got an IPod. Now along the way it got zaped or something, and now it wont work. I want to utilize the service waranty, but Apple wont mail me a box to my APO AE address. Furthermore, the website says I purchased my Ipod over 6 months ago, and thats wrong, but theres no way to see what strange date Apple has or to contest it. It simply says my waranty period is over and I have to pay for service. Now the real kicker is that it broke before the service waranty ended (my waranty is good till the end of FEB) but I wont be back in the US before it ends, so I guess I am just out of luck?
    Is there anything I can do?
    I have posted here because I am out of ideas and theres no real place for a person in my situation to address my issue to. So if there is anyone who cares, or has any information on my situaion, I would greatly appreciate it.

    Hi SPC G.
    Welcome to Apple Discussions and thank you for your brave service.
    The lack of e-mail contact information can be a real drag, I've experienced it too, and I also can relate to the frustration of not being able to find the information I'm looking for in the online FAQs or Knowledge Base articles.
    When that happens, I've been fortunate to more often than not find the help I'm looking for by posting in the Apple Discussions forum dedicated to the hardware or software product I'm having difficulty with.
    You didn't mention what model iPod you have, but you did say it cost $300. If you have the 30GB iPod w/ video, you should post here, in the Using Your 5th Generation iPod forum.
    If that's not your model, then go here, where all the iPod Forums are displayed and select the right forum for your model iPod.
    Then, once you've clicked on the specific forum you want to post in, click on the "post a new topic" button in the upper left-hand corner of the screen and write down with as much specificity as you can exactly what's wrong with your iPod, what (if any) error messages, symbols or lights or other possibly diagnostic symptoms appear, when you first noticed the problem and anything else you think might be useful to someone trying to help out.
    These forums have a surprisingly large number of helpful and knowledgeable users who very often are able to find a solution (short service by an Apple Technician) to all kinds of problems.
    Good luck and stay safe.

    EDIT: If the above does not work for you, I'm really not sure how to address your warranty issues without being able to contact Apple by phone. If your iPod does eventually require service that should be covered under warranty and Apple resists, saying that your warranty expired, you may ultimately need to demonstrate proof of service to them.
    You can write to Apple at the following general corporate address, it's the only one I know: Apple Computer, Inc., 1 Infinite Loop, Cupertino, CA 95014. I know it's not a direct address for customer service, but I would hope that if you put "ATTN: Customer Service" or something to that effect in the address, it would get to the right people.

  • "Mail, contact, calendar " can't be opened anymore, why?

    Hej together,
    Some problems with the installation of my e-mail account, as I can't  get anymore in installation menue for "Mail, Contact, Calender" to put in my server, etc informations for the installation of the e-mail account...Can someone help a poor "fresh man" ?  thanks

    Do you mean that it crashes or freezes when you try to open it or that it's greyed out and protected ? If it rashes or freezes then have you tried closing the Settings app completely and seeing if it works when you re-open it ? From the home screen (i.e. not with Settings 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Settings app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
    If that doesn't work then you could try a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
    If it's greyed out/protected then check that Settins > General > Restrictions > Accounts isn't set to Don't Allow Changes

  • Mail, contacts and calendars will not sync cuz some stuff quited...

    Hey all! I posted this question in the iTunes section, but did not get any response, so I shall ask it here and see if I get a response. Whenever I sync my iPhone, stuff like MDCrashReporterTool and AppleMobileSync will "quit unexpectedly". Thus, my calendars, mail and contacts will not sync. I've tried stuff from downloading the Mac OS X 10.5.6 combo updater and installed it to reinstalling iTunes 8.0.2, but to no avail. Does anybody here have an answer or require more information? TIA!
    Message was edited by: I love my macbook!!!!

    On your iPhone, go to Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars.
    Select your MobileMe account.
    Turn Calendars off for over the air syncing.
    A warning message will be provided indicating this will delete all calendars and calendar events from your iPhone. You should also be provided a prompt to save the data locally on your iPhone. If so, save this data locally.
    Follow this by turning Calendars back on for over the air syncing. You should be provided a merge prompt which you want to select.
    Test if this resolves it.

  • Address Book contact info changes after sending an email to contact

    So this issue has plagued me for some time and I have finally just been annoyed enough by it to ask.
    I have a contact for my mom which used to be her first name and last name which I later changed to just "Mom" in the first name box after getting an iPhone. At the same time I started syncing with MobileMe and have been having this problem for about 2 years.
    Every time I send her an email it changes her name from just Mom to Mom and then adds her last name back into the last name field.
    Has anyone else experienced this and figured out a fix?

    It's very simple why this happens: you're using Address Book incorrectly by not using somebody's first and last name. Mail and Address Book communicate, so every time you send an email to someone, whatever their name is setup as in their email account is what gets overwritten into Address Book when you don't have the same thing.

  • Connected to Exchange but mail, contacts, or calendar won't sync

    The iphone says i'm connected to the exchange server. My IT guy says he sees the traffic coming across the firewall. He had all port opened just in case, but my mail won't send or receive and calendar contacts won't sync.

    You can verify the server setup independent of the iPhone:
    Try an ActiveSync OMA connection using a notebook or desktop - https://www.domain.com/OMA (where www.domain.com is path to Exchange server). The "s" is needed as a SSL connection is required.
    You should receive a user login prompt (for username and password) followed by a list of Inbox messages. If you don't, there is a problem with server configuration (either path, ActiveSync, SSL certificate, or ActiveDirectory user permission).

  • User's Mail account info changed

    My wife just called me at work with a bizarre Mail situation. Our iMac at home has 2 user accounts, mine and hers, and each has Mail configured for our own individual e-mail accounts, reasonably enough.
    My Mail account is a full .Mac account. Her e-mail account is an e-mail only .Mac account, with her own e-mail address, obviously.
    This morning the power went off and the computer with it. When she restarted, she logged into her account and got my e-mail. And when she checks the account details it is indeed configured to receive my mail.
    For the time being I've asked her to use webmail until I get home to take a look. Could this have something to do with the upcoming .Mac changes? How could a power outage switch Mail accounts?

    Now that I've come home I can guess roughly what happened. The power outage must have caused one of the Mail files--preferences or something--to become corrupt, and so the account didn't show up when Mail started.
    Now, my .Mac settings are in her system preferences. So Mail, being friendly and accommodating, must have automatically created a .Mac account for her when it found no other accounts configured in Mail and since my account settings were in system preferences, it was able to do that no problem.

  • Removed cable while doing sync, now cannot sync anymore

    I was syncing my iphone and I received a call, i answered the call and without noticing I unplugged my iphone, when I tried to reconnect it and sync it again, he said it couldn't work because of an unknown error. Then I tried to set the iphone back to factory settings (restore) and after 15 minutes watching the message box 'preparing iphone for recovery' it says cannot recover because of unknown error.
    What should I do now ? Is there another way to factory reset it ?
    Thanks

  • When I merged my iPhone and iPad contact info., I lost all of the names that my messages were posted under.  All conversations are now posted under phone numbers.

    When setting up some iCloud info., agreed to merge iPhone and iPad contact info., and now most of my iPhone messages are listed by phone numbers, rather than by the person's name.  Some of the names eventually showed up, but not many, and most of those now have the husband and wife's name together or just the family name (Millers, Smiths, etc.).

    No, your iPhone and your iPad should not appear in the finder.
    I'm not sure what you mean about downloading photos with iPhoto being double handling, but you can download direct to a folder with Image Capture. Image Capture can also be used to delete photos from the Camera Roll on the iPhone or iPad (preferrably after they are downloaded).
    You can remove the photos you synced from your phone with iTunes by syncing again with an empty folder, That will delete all the photos that were previously synced that way, replacing them with the contents of the empty folder (that is, nothing). This will not effect photos takes with the camera on your iPhone.

  • My contact info keeps changing between my iPhone and iPad on its on.

    For some reason my contact info changes on its own between my iPhone and iPad.  I can add a new photo and contact info and then
    For some reason I look the next day and the pictures gone and contact info isn't there?

    well the way icloud works besides the back up part of it is if you add a contact on your phone it will go to any other device that has the same apple id on it, Why the info is change im not sure about that but you can try turning off icloud and see if it still happens

  • Outlook Mail + Contact  + Calendar folders change after sync

    I use Outlook and after sync with my iPhone my Favorite Folder list changes. The Calendar and Contact folder names appear in Favorites (not there before) and cannot be deleted by right click and selecting "Remove from Favorite Folders". I found that by rebooting my computer the two folder names disappear but so do all my folders I added to my Favorites list. The only ones remaining are the default ones; Inbox, Outbox etc. I have to then select and add the additional ones I require. Also, when I now click the Calendar button I see only the three month calendar on the left pane and the day calendar on the right pane...with no other options available and when I click the Contact button I get the Calendar choices and if I click one of those choices the Calendar button light up.
    To access my Contacts I have to right click the Contacts button and select "Open in New Window". If I do the same with the Calendar button I get the same Calendar window as just by clicking the Calendar button.
    Has anyone experienced this problem? How can I fix it?
    This happens each type I sync. All the contact info and appointment info sync OK to the iPhone.

    Hi,
    I activated Exchange sync for contacts and also Mobile Me sync for Address Book in the first phase when I started to use my iPhone 3G. So I didn't lost any local contacts on my phone. Both Exchange and Mobile Me work on my phone simultaneously.
    I can put Mobile Me sync off and those contacts will disappear from my phone. And when I re-connect Mobile Me, contacts sync fine back to my phone.
    I have minor problem though, Exchange sync works fine from my phone to server and vice versa. But Mobile Me seems not to work from Address Book to Phone. When I do this disconnect - reconnect workaround I can get the results I'm looking for, but it's not that user-friendly and "it's only working"-type procedure to do.
    Any ideas where could be the problem?

  • How do I change my apple id on iPhone4 in iCloud?  In mail, contacts the apple id is correct and matches my new apple id.  I had to change my apple id when I upgraded to Mountain Lion in order to have calendar, contacts and other sync with iCloud.

    How do I change my apple id on iPhone4 in settings/iCloud and settings/mail,contacts,calendar?  iCloud does not sync with my iPhone4.   iCloud syncs fine with my iPad and my iPad has the new apple id in settings/iCloud.  I had to change my original apple id when I upgraded to Mountain Lion in order to have iCloud sync.  iCloud does not sync with my iPhone4.  My iPhone4 settings/iCloud shows my original apple id and will not allow me to change it.

    To change your iCloud ID you have to delete the account, then sign in with the alternate ID.  Before doing this, if you want to keep your data and move it to the new account, go to Settings>iCloud and turn each of your synced data to Off, and when prompted choose to keep the data on your iPhone.  When everything is turned off, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account, the sign back in with your other account ID and turn syncing back on; when prompted, choose merge.
    If all your data is already in your other account then you don't need to do this.  Just delete the account from your phone, selected not to keep the data, then sign into the new account, turn on data syncing and if prompted, choose merge.

  • I updated my Iphone 3gs to last version of iOS and now I can't change my configurations of Mail, Contacts, Calendars.

    I updated my Iphone 3gs to last version of iOS and now I can't change my configurations of Mail, Contacts, Calendars.

    Generally that is a sign that the iPhone had previously been jailbroken
    or hacked to work with other than the original wireless provider. The update
    has relocked the iPhone to the original wireless provider. You must
    contact them to see if they provide unlocking and if you qualify.
    If you can get that far, what does it say when you look at
    Settings=>General=>About=>Carrier?
