My iphone 4 will no longer accept my PIN
Hi! I have had my iphone 4 inactive for some months as I have changed phone. Now I want to hand it over to my son. First, I couldn't make it accept my own PIN-code. Trying to use my son's brand new SIM-card, it will not accept that code either. What is wrong and what can I do?
a.
What PIN code, are you referring to the Unlock screen? That will only accept the security code that was setup by the user and has NO bearring on the SIM card installed in the device.
If you have forgotten the unlock code, restore the device either via backup from the computer it normally syncs with or as new from any computer with iTunes.
If you are referring to the SIM unlock PIN code, enter the correct code or get a new SIM from the carrier.

Itunes will no longer accept any of my credit cards. It says vcode doesn't match when it does. Customer service is no help. I have re-inputted the info in the account section of the apple store and in itunes--still says vcode doesn't match.

my iphone will no longer connect to my home wifi. it recognises it, but the searching cirlce is constant next to network name. there are three laptops and another iphone on the same wifi that have no connectivity issues. i have reset the network settings but that did not help. the issue started last week when the second iphone was introduced to the house, could this be the cause?
No.
Any problem connecting your iPhone to any other wi-fi network besides your own? -

My iPhone will no longer picks-up the wifi at home(comcast). My mom used to have comcast and I used to connect there as well, but she changed to verison and I connect there, but no longer can get the comcast wi-fi at home. The wi-fi settings are ok there, but blank at home now. The phone's network settings are fine because I can join other wifi networks. I've done a reset with no results. Is there a manual way for me to restore the comcast wifi from the router?
First thanks for the reply and second sorry about the confusion. I was unable to get the full message out, but here's the problem:
Like I had mentioned, for a long time both me and my Mom had comcast and as soon as I came into both dwellings the phone would automatically jump onto either wifi network. Then a while ago she verison and used the same Belkin router. So there was no problem and my phone jumped on her system as usual, but at some point something happened and when I got home I noticed that the phone asked to be put on my system. I would input the password, but it would say "unable to connect" to the network. I did the standard things like check the network settings on the phone itself and they were fine. Then I did a reset (actually twice) with the same result. It seems like the phone ability to pick-up wi-fi is ok because when I go to my University I can log-in with no problem. The only thing I noticed is when I look at the settings (on the iPhone) for the router at home the whole thing is blank. My question is: Is there a manual way to get the phone to pick-up my router? I need to have it on my network at home because I use DocumentsToGo a lot. Thanks again for your response again and I hope things are clear now. Have a great day.

Problem being experienced: My iphone will no longer charge. At the beginning of the problem which started last night, I was getting the error message " Charging is not supported with this accessory." My question, asked last night on Yahoo! Answers with follow up additional information and questions, is pasted below in italics:
I've been getting the error message " Charging is not supported wiyh this accessory". I tried changing to a new cable, and to another connector for the cable. At first it said "charging" even thoufh the actual battery percentage continued to go down. Then it gave that error message again, now it continues to say "unplugged" for its status even though its plugged in. The power outlet itself works fine. What should I do? Its a version 4.2.6 (8E200) and a model MC676LL.

The phone is one that's no longer on a calling plan, but I still use it as a secondary
device to access the internet (like a small Ipad that works as such with Wifi at my home and an Apple ID to access the Itunes store), and it has applications that I cant find
in my droid google play store. Its a kind of workhorse for me because of its simplicity
and its ability to access the internet faster than the droid when I'm home. Is it possible that if I let it
discharge to a certain level that it will regain its ability to detect the presence of the
charger? I've been using the square white charger provided by Apple.

Another thing I'm wondering: Can hitting the "reset all" button under settings correct the problem?Are you using the charger and cable that came with the phone?
Are you using an unauthorized third party charger? -
What does it mean that "my iphone will no longer back up to my computer automatically when I sync with itunes", if I turn my icloud backup to "on"? This doesnt sound like something that will make things smoother? I just recently lost all my calendar events and I am hoping to recover them.
Welcome to the Apple Community.
You can either back up to iTunes or to iCloud, you you choose to back up to iCloud, back up to iTunes will be turned off. Personally, I'd always back up to iTunes unless there is a good reason not to you. -
My iPhone will no longer back up to my computer automaticall when I sync with iTunes- why
Probably because you have elected to automatically back up to iCloud instead. You can still manually back up by clicking Back Up Now on the Summary tab of your iTunes sync settings, it just won't be automatic.

My Iphone Will No Longer Swipe What Should I Do?
My Iphone Will No Longer Swipe What Should I Do?
Hello there, ___Juicyyy.
The following Knowledge Base article offers up some great steps for troubleshooting your issue:
iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Troubleshooting touchscreen response
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1827
If your device is experiencing any of the symptoms listed above, try the following steps:
Restart your device
Hold the On/Off button until "slide to power off" appears. Slide to power off your device. When it is off, press the On/Off button to turn it back on.
If you can't restart your device, reset it by pressing and holding the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for a least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
Clean the screen with a soft, slightly damp, lint-free cloth.
Avoid using the device while wearing gloves, with wet hands, or immediately after applying hand lotion.
If you have a protective case, or if you are using a plastic sheet or film on the display, try removing them and testing the device without it.
If the steps above don't resolve your issue, please schedule a service appointment with an Apple Retail Store for evaluation. If an Apple Retail store is not an option, contact Apple to find out your best service option or see theService FAQ for your product.
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.

My iphone will no longer come on, the apple will blink on and off but that is all I get
I suggest connecting the iPhone to the computer and iTunes and do a restore. If you are unable to do that, you may need to put the iPhone in DFU mode. Search for directions on that.

ITunes will no longer accept my password
The same password I have used previously will no longer get accepted so I changed it and that will not get accepted either. Any suggestions?
First, I made sure on the Apple site that I could sign into the iTunes Store to make sure I was using the right password for iTunes and it was. However, when I went to redeem a gift card on iTunes, the box kept popping up asking me to enter my password over and over again and I could not get past it. I am on my MacBook Pro, OSX 10.6.8 and my iTunes version is 11.1.3. I shut down my laptop, restarted, made sure in Safari pop ups were not blocked, private browsing off and preferences set to Never deny cookies and I emptied the cache. I forced quit iTunes and then relaunched it. This worked.

Iphone will no longer sync to my power mac
The latest version of iTunes will not install on my mac since I have a PowerPC G5 and OSX 10.5.8. But now my iPhone 4 (and I have already ordered an iPhone 5) will no longer sync!
How can I now sync / put music on and off of my iPhone?Buy a new, refurbished, or secondhand Intel Mac. While iTunes 10.6.3 can sync the iPhone 4 from a PowerPC Mac, the iPhone 5 absolutely requires Mac OS X 10.6.8, which requires an Intel Mac.

IPhone will no longer sync to iTunes
I downloaded the latest itunes software last night in order to download the new iPhone software but since updating my iTunes my phone will no longer sync. It appears in the devices category but whenever I go to click on my phone, iTunes freezes and I have to force quit iTunes and try again. I have restarted both my phone and computer and I am yet to have any luck. Is thee anything else i can try? I have messed with it for several hours two nights in a row and I'm just about through trying
Hello Sportzgirl,
I'd recommend taking a look through the steps outlined in the following article, as they can help get your iPhone back into iTunes.

From today both my iPad and iPhone will no longer charge
It's the weirdest thing. My Iphone & Ipad will no longer charge. They both worked/ charged fine yesterday.
I have tried various other chargers for my iPhone as we have other Apple equipment at our house & they all charge fine.
The lightning bolt is not appearing when charging & nor do either of them beep when charging. My iPad is not even 6mths old!
And isnt it weird that its both? Is that a hardware or iCloud problem
Please can someone help.First thing to try is a reboot of your iPad. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the iPad restart. See if that fixes your problem.
Do same for iPhone. -
After the 6.1 update my iPhone 4S will no longer connect with my car stereo (2012 Chevy Sonic). Until update, everything was working fine and I experienced no such issues. I have tried deleting my phone from my stereo memory and re-pairing, but I get a pair unsuccessful error on my iPhone; I have been able to pair a pre-6.1 iPhone successfully after discovering the problem. Has anyone found a workaround to this issue?
IIRC updating the iPhone iOS changes its characteristics when viewed by vehicle
bluetooth
That is why you need to remove pairing from both ends and start again
Vehicle just does not recognise the iPhone as the one it previously paired with
