My iPhone doesn't hold a Wi-Fi signal anymore, can I get it replaced?
Hi,
My iPhone 4S which I bought in April last year has recently and gradually stopped connecting to Wi-Fi. At first it would lose the signal for a few minutes then reconnect, then a few weeks later it began losing the signal after about 10 minutes of being connected, and I'd have to reconnect it manually. Nowadays I have absolutely no detection of Wi-Fi from the phone whatsoever, both at home and at work. It's definitely not the Wi-Fi itself because my sister's iPod touch 4th gen and my mum's iPad 2 and my own laptop connect to the signal perfectly well. At work also, my friend's MacBook Pro connects to the wifi at work fine. I'm not sure what's happened to it to cause this but I wanted to know, since this problem couldn't have been my fault, if I take it to my local Apple store will they replace the phone? One of my good friends had hers replaced after the home button stopped working because she wasn't at fault. I wanted to know if I was eligible for the same. Also, does the fact that I'm locked to Vodafone for another year come into the problem? I honestly need this Wi-Fi desperately when I'm at work and sometimes at home and relying on Vodafone's incredibly slow 3G network is definitely not an option for me if I can help it. Any advice would be much appreciated :) Thank you!
Take it to Apple, with some money, and ask if it is eligible for an out of warranty replacement. They will not trade a new 4S for a busted 4. If you want a 4S you'll have to buy one.

IPhone 5 Power Button not working anymore, can I get a replacement?
My iPhone 5 is still in warranty and I was wondering if I can get a replacement at the apple store as soon as possible if I take it in? Or if I would need to send it in for repair?
Do I need to take all accessories in as well? What if I don't have the earphones?
ThanksApple do not repair they exchange for a refurbished device
You will lose your handset and no accessories are required you get a brown box service replacement just the iphone
Do a complete backup as your handset will go and all is over the counter ,make an appointment to avoid a long wait
All this assumes it is faulty and no user damage -

Is the iPhone alarm supposed to sync with iwatch? I can't get any alarm notifications from my iPhone to my watch. Do I have to just set up whole new alarms specifically in my watch?
Yes, they should sync. Check the Watch app on the iPhone and look at Calendar - make sure it's set to Mirror my phone
If it still doesn't work, reset the Watch, restart the phone and re-pair the Watch - fixes a few glitches -

Can you start Firefox in [[Safe mode]] ?
You can also do a clean reinstall and download a fresh Firefox copy from http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html and save the file to the desktop.
Uninstall your current Firefox version and remove the Firefox program folder before installing that copy of the Firefox installer.
It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
You can initially skip the step to create a new profile, that may not necessary for this issue.

HT4993 if your screen cracks, can you get a replacement screen installed on the iphone/
if your screen cracks, can you get a replacement screen installed on the same phone?
With iPhone 4 Apple will not replace the screen. They will replace the entire iPhone 4. If you want the screen replaced on the same iPhone 4, you have to do it yourself.

I've updated my 2007 MacBook to 10.6.8, and now my iPhone 3 (used as iPod) and iPhone 4 aren't recognized to be synced anymore or I get an error message telling me to update my phone to 11.1 or something. When I do that is appears to update and when finished nothing appears to have updated.
It is possible one of the 10.6.8 updates may help:
Combo v1.1 (7/25/2011), 10.6.8 2013 Security Update 004, 2013-005 Java update.
Note, your machine is too old to use the latest Java from http://www.java.com/ -
