MY 6 WEEK OLD IPHONE HAS DIED

I took my iphone back into carphone warehouse after 2 weeks to tall them of faults, the screen was locking, it would jump like a broken television sometimes, loose sound. The very unhelpful assistant stated that if i reset the phone this would resolve it, and as a result they would not replace the handset.
Today after the phone playing up, i connected my phone to my macbook to sync the new update. The phone is now in "restore mode", which means it gives me the connect to itunes as if the handset was brand new, however, when connecting to itunes it states its in restore mode and cannot connect.
so...... now im left with no phone at all, the carphone warehouse turned me away, and ive had it 6 weeks, so no replacement. ive been advised to go into the apple shop, can anyone help?

What error code is it presenting when you try to restore?
CPW was correct - Apple handles all iPhone replacements. For the fastest fix, take the phone there and they will replace it.

  • Hi, I have a new laptop and would like to syncronise my iphone with iTunes (which I have installed again). But my old laptop has died so I could not transfer any media files, etc. Can I simply connect my iPhone to the laptop without any data being lost?

    My less than 2 week old iPhone 5 has gone into recovery mode... I've been trying to restore all day using itunes but just as the restore is about to finish, error 21 comes up. My phone is essential for work and this has caused me endless problems today. I am disgusted with this, I need a reliable phone. Please someone help me get it working again?!

    These errors typically occur when security software interferes with the restore and update process. FollowTroubleshooting security software issues to resolve this issue. In rare cases, these errors may be a hardware issue. If the errors persist on another computer, the device may need service.

    my old computer has died with my i-tunes on, can i tranfer from my i phone to a new pc?

    Sync is only oneway, from PC to your device. Unless you have the music on your PC, iTunes is going to wipe out what you have on your device if you are syncing to a new library.
    You can only transfer Purchased music over to Itunes on your PC.

    As for you own music, you may have to use a third party software. A good Free one is called Sharepod which you can download from Download.com here:

  • Old PC has died taking all ITunes library with it - help

    My old PC has died and gone to PC Heaven and I now have a lovely new one running with VIsta but I am really worried about connecting my Ipod up. As I have no acces to my old ITunes library I have downloaded new ITunes verison 7.2 but if I connect up and sync my IPod will I lose the tunes I already have stored? Please can anyone advise?

    Connect your iPod to your computer. If it is set to update automatically you'll get a message that it is linked to a different library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc, press "Cancel". Pressing "Erase and Sync" will irretrievably remove all the songs from your iPod. Your iPod should appear in the iTunes source list from where you can change the update setting to manual and use your iPod without the risk of accidentally erasing it. Also when using most of the utilities listed below your iPod needs to be enabled for disc use, changing to manual update will do this by default. Check the "manually manage music and videos" box in Summary then press the Apply button: Managing content manually on iPod
    Once you are safely connected there are a few things you can do to restore your iTunes from the iPod. If you have any iTMS purchases the transfer of purchased content from the iPod to authorised computers was introduced with iTunes 7. A paragraph on it has been added to this article: Transfer iTunes Store purchases using iPod
    The transfer of non iTMS content such as songs imported from CD is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. You'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos, podcasts and games as well. Have a look at the web pages and documentation, this is just a small selection of what's available, they are generally quite straightforward. You can also read reviews of some of them here: Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes
    TuneJack Windows Only
    iPod2PC Windows Only
    iGadget Windows Only
    iDump Windows Only
    iRepo Windows Only
    iPodRip Mac & Windows
    YamiPod Mac and Windows Versions
    Music Rescue Mac & Windows
    iPodCopy Mac and Windows Versions
    There is also a manual method of accessing the iPod's hard drive and copying songs back to iTunes on Windows or a Mac. The procedure is a bit involved and won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's available at this link: Two-way Street: Moving Music Off the iPod
    Whichever of these retrieval methods you choose, keep your iPod in manual mode until you have reloaded your iTunes and you are happy with your playlists etc then it will be safe to return it auto-sync. I would also advise that you get yourself an external hard drive and back your stuff up, relying on an iPod as your sole backup is not a good idea and external drives are comparatively inexpensive these days, you can get loads of storage for a reasonable outlay.

    Sounds like a dead battery.  Try plugging it into a charger.

  • Apple has placed a temporary authorization amount hold in my card for repair. My old iphone has been received by apple. how long does it take to release the amount?

    Apple has placed a temporary authorization amount hold in my card for repair. My old iphone has been received by apple. how long does it take to release the amount?

    How long it takes depends partially on your bank. Once they release it, it could take several days for the authorization to roll off of your account. It is generally not a problem unless you're using a debit card, which will lock the funds in your checking account and make them unavailable, which I presume you did or you wouldn't be worried about it.
    This is not unique to Apple. That's a problem when using debit cards for any purchase.  Several years ago, when gas prices spiked to $4 a gallon here, gas stations would routinely authorize and hold upwards of $100 every time you tried to pay at the pump. Created some major headaches for the working stiffs just trying to get to their jobs and pay the bills.

    If your charger is defective, it will be replaced by Apple.  As to your warranty, here in the US the warranty on iPhone is 1 year.  I wasn't aware it is two years in Italy?
