My Apple iphone 5 is less than a year old, meaning it's still under the 12 month warranty. The touchscreen has stopped working and there are lines across my screen. Can I get it replaced for free by booking an appointment in store?

The rest of my phone is still perfectly operational. I can sync it to my Mac, I can still see my phone screen, meaning I can still see texts and calls coming through, the power button works, I can see my apps and my background, and the circle button at the bottom still works. It's just the touchscreen that isn't working. I can't slide across to answer calls or slide across to turn the phone off. As my phone is still under the 12 month warranty, will they replace my phone in store by booking an appointment at the Genius bar?

I was taken through some diagnostics over the telephone with an Apple advisor, who asked me to restore the software, back my phone up, etc, which I have done. He couldn't rectify the problem so advised me to take it in. I am booked in this evening to see an Apple advisor in store. I don't know of anything that I have done for this to happen! It was in my pocket on holiday in Portugal and was ok one minute, I took it out of my pocket and the vertical lines were on my phone and the touchscreen had stopped working! I hope I can get it replaced.

    As I said in my previous reply:
    If defective, Apple will exchange the iPod at no cost unless they have been abused. That applies to Apple earphones too.

  • HELP my iphone 4s screen is cracked. how can i get it replaced for free

    My friend accidently shoved me causing my iphone to fly out of my hands and face first on the ground. Now it's badly cracked with spiderwebs over the screen. My sister cracked her screen a month after purchasing it and Apple replaced it at no cost. I've had my iphone 4s for about 7 months. Do you think I can get it replaced for free? If so what story should I tell them? And any tips pls? Thank you

    You cannot get the screen replaced for free...that is an out of warranty accidental damage issue.  The iPhone 4s will be replaced with another for $199 at an Apple store genius bar.  Be sure to make a backup of your content, best done in iCloud so the Apple genius can restore your content to the replacement iPhone.

  • I dropped my iPod. Can I get it replaced for free?

    I have an ipod touch, 4th gen, and I dropped it. I broke the wifi chip, and asked my dad to fix it for me for christmas. As he pulled the screen off, a part broke in half. I currently have no screen on, and before he fixed it, i asked a  guy at the apple store how much it would be to replace and he said 75$. Anyway, long story short, Im pretty much asking if I can get it replaced for free without a screen, and if not how much do I have to pay to get it replaced.

    Out-of-Warranty replacement pricing is $99 for the 32GB and $199 for the 64GB. They may not do it since your dad attempted to work on it. Make a Genius Bar appointment at your nearest Apple Store and ask them.

  • I deleted Bonjour, since I don't need it for remote printing.  Now I get the message " Airport Base Station has stopped working: and also a message saying APAgent.exe can't be found.  What to do??? Thanks.

    I deleted Bonjour since I don't need it for remote printing.  Now on start-up I get the message: "Airport Base Station Agent has stopped working" and also message: "can't find APAgent.exe.:  Do I need AP Agent??  What to do??  Thanks. 

    The APAgent monitors your AirPort base station and informs you if there are things like firmware updates available. This utility relies on Bonjour, but is not required for base station operation. However, Bonjour makes it easier for your PC to "find" the base station via the AirPort Utility and I would recommend that you keep it installed. If you don't want the APAgent, you can just use the Apple Updater utility (that was also installed when the AirPort Utility was installed) to remove it.

  • My wife just bought her first Iphone  a 4s a fwe months ago, its secondhand a few months ago but it came with ios7.  Now the phone has stopped working and is asking to be registered with a Developer Program portal  any ideas how I can fix this for her?

    my wife just boughtnher first apple an iphone4s she got it secondhand about last july , it came with ios7 which had not been released but today its stopped working and asking to be registered with a developers program,  how can I restore her phone and hopefullykeep her current data. Please keep your answer simple we are not it people thanks.

    Well, you have your answer perhaps as to why the phone was being sold in the first place - rather than being a registered developer, the previous owner probably downloaded and installed an illegal copy of iOS 7 beta on the phone and it has now bricked the phone.  Some people did this and of course they could not wait to get their hands on iOS 7, but now it has been released officially, everybody moans.
    The only thing you can do is try resetting the phone again.  Connect it to iTunes and install iOS 7.0.2 and restore it as new and see if that works.  This might help the phone but will not preserve data.
    If it still won't work, then I suggest that you confront the previous owner of the phone and return it for a full refund and start again, but this time buy the phone from a legitimate source.

  • My iphone charger will not charge my phone, ive tested my friends chargers and they work, can i get it replaced for free?

    No one can predict what Apple will say when they see your cord.  Just bring it in.  If found defective it will be replaced on the spot.

    Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for this price as an out-of-warrany replacement. They do not fix yours.
