My iPhone 4 vibrated for over 3.5 hours yesterday, I was not able to make it stop?

My iPhone 4 vibrated for 3.5 hours yesterday I was not able to turn off. The phone got hot and now I am staring at a black screen

Same thing happened to me on the w/end. I have since read (see link below) that pressing the 2 main buttons simultaeneously to reboot is the only possible solution, however, I did this until my fingers were too sore to continue, & the thing just wouldn't shut-down. Left it on a pile of washing overnight to muffle the noise whilst it wore itself out. Re-charged it the next day & has returned to life since, however am noticing a few buggy things with it eg: Music play-back getting scrambled & flicking itself off, & the voice control feature turning itself on randomly. Not surprised,
any device vibrating for that long continuously is definitely not good.

Apple definitely need to get a handle on this one.

I ordered three movies yesterday and was not able to watch them because apparently the streaming from my iPad is too week. Apple support is trying to help with this. Can you credit my account for these movies. Thanks

Please credit my account.

When I went to update ios7 it came up as plus into iTunes. When I plug it into iTunes it's making me retire my phone but has been on "contacting the iPhone update server" for over a half hour. What do I do?

To clarify, I meant to say, when I plug my phone into my computer and connect to ITunes.

After having my iphone 4 for over a year, the front screen cracks :(

So after having my Iphone 4 for over a year and purchasing the apple CARE protection plan, apple is acting as if they do not care about me and my phone. I have never traded in my phone and never had a problem with it until now. My screen is cracked and when i tried to go to the store to get it fixed, all they tell me is sorry you have to get a new phone for $199. My husband and iI are a huge apple fans. We have a mac book, mac mini, ipad 1 and 2 and 2 iphone4s. We are very loyal to Apple, but after this experience, I don't see how i can continue to be. I purchased the apple care plan and thought i would be able to use it since i never had a problem with my phone but they proved me wrong. I didn't want to have to purchase a whole new phone with the iphone 5 coming out because i plan to purchase that in the first shipment. I'm so disapointed and heart broken. I don't know what to do. I wanna cry right now. When it rains it pours. Just disapointed that this had to happen with APPLE!!!! and now i'm reading some of these responces and learning that some people have gotten their phones changed for FREE?!?!?!?!?!? What's up with that? I feel apple should give everyone one OOPS clause. and after that then you have to fend for yourself especially if we have to pay for a protection plan that we will not use or will not transfer to another phone.
So disapointed

Apple Care is an extended warranty, NOT an insurance plan. Ford isn't going to fix your car for free when it gets wrapped around a tree.
With the advent of the iPhone 4S and AppleCare+, the geniuses at the Apple Stores lost the freedom to replace damaged phones at their discretion.
There is no "oops" clause in the warranty. If you've paid for Apple Care, that coverage will transfer to a replacement phone, provided you pay Apple for the out of warranty replacement.

I had switches off my iPhone 5 at around 20 percent battery next morning I was not able to switch it on. I tried to get it charged but it didn't showed any sign of charging even when plugged in for about 2 hours. I had to take it to apple care centre

I had switches off my iPhone 5 at around 20 percent battery next morning I was not able to switch it on. I tried to get it charged but it didn't showed any sign of charging even when plugged in for about 2 hours. I had to take it to apple care centre but they refused to repair it after confirming the problem with the device as it was out of warranty and asked me to get it replaced for INR 22500. I got it repaired outside but after that also if I switch it off in the same situation it again happens and I have to take it for repair it has happened 3 times after that. Is it a inherent problem in iPhone that it uses battery even when switched off and if in that case battery drain out then refuse to get charged because this is the scenario i have experienced every time?

Apple told you it was unrepairable.... You had it serviced by an unauthorized party. It's now no longer eligible for out of warranty replacement by Apple.
There's really nothing else we can say about it. Find a competent 3rd party repair shop or buy a new one.

My iPhone vibrated for about 3 minutes and died. I cant restart it because my lock button doesn't work. what do i do?

My iPhone vibrated for 3 minutes and died. The screen was black but the phone was still vibrating. I searched what to do but everything said to reset it. But one day my power button got stiff and doesn't work. I tried to plug it into iTunes but it was not recognized. What am I supposed to do?

let it charge for 60 minutes, see if it awakes.
Plug it to itunes , awake or not and hold both buttons for a couple of seconds

"Less than a minute remaining" for over a few hours with Migration Assistant

Hi everyone,
I am migrating to a MBP Retina running latest 10.7. I am using migration assistant to import a user from my new Time Capsule. It's stuck on "Less than a minute remaining" for over a few hours that I noticed it. What should I do?
(Yes, I am on Wireless N and I do not own a ethernet adapter)
Any help,suggestion, wait/not wait?
Thanks,
Chester

my recommendation stems mostly from what others have replied to similar posts. I personally think it is probably done, and a hard shut down and restart will probably work. but also see this good reply from WZZZ

I've only had my iphone 5s for a week. I keep getting an error message of "Server has stopped responding." I need the server to work. Does anyone know if there is a "fix" for the problem? Other wise, I probably best return for a refund and get a Samsung.

Unlikely. Based on the complete lack of detail of the issue provided it is entirely possible the same issue would occur.
Unless and until the user provides some actual details of the problem, there is nothing the indicate that the issue is with the iPhone.

I am trying to copy more or less 30G from my MacbookPro to an external hard drive and it is stuck in the "preparing to copy" step. But that for more than one hour. What should I do to make it faster? Thanks a lot in advance!

Thanks Shootist007, by blockd files I mean files that I have changed to blocked and when I tried to move then for the first time, I had to unblock again. I am trying to backup my pictures, my songs and other files like word documents and excel tables. First I put all of them as blocked, what caused the first problems on trying to move them. Then, I've unchecked the block option and if I try to move one by one, there is no problem. The issue is to move all together, because it gets stuck in the preparing to copy files step. Anyway, if I cannot do all by once, I'll do it one by one, event though that was not suposed to happen if we are talking about technology, right? Anyway, I thank you again for trying to help me!

Can you do setup an unread mail folder that shows all unread mail regardless of what folder it really is in on the iPhone mail program somehow?
No.
If not, can this be submitted as an enhancement as it makes email use very cumbersome.
Yes. You can submit feedback to Apple: http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html.

I am trying to register my iPhone 4S for mobile phone insurance but the website does not recognise the serial number. Has anyone experienced this?

I am trying to register my iPhone 4S for mobile phone insurance but the website does not recognise the serial number. Has anyone experienced this, and any idea how I can rectify the problem?

When using the iPhone with the Windows OS, you need to have the Apple Mobile Device Service running. It should start automatically when you start the computer, but sometimes things happen. Use this support document to try and restart the service. See if that helps.

I have the iPhone 5s. I synced it with my Mac and got all the old apps from my old phone. I was not able to update any of the apps on the old phone and they will not update on the new iPhone 5s either! What can I do?

Hey there rmflint,
It sounds like you are wanting to update the Apps that were synced over from your computer to your new iPhone 5s. If you are clicking Updates in the App Store in the bottom right corner, would you mind clarifying what happens when you are trying to update them?
App Store at a glance
