My iPhone sounds as if something is loose when I tap thr back is this ok
If the rattle sound is loudest if you tap gently near the back camera (lens), this is normal with the iPhone 4S.

I just got my iPhone so i can't imagine there is anything wrong, but I noticed that when I tap the back of my iPhone next to the camera, it sounds like there is a lose piece in inside. Also, when I put the iPhone down on a desk or table i hear the same sound. Wondering if this is normal?
Hi JRM833,
That would be enough to make me worry as well. I've not seen (or heard, in this case) that happen on any of my iPhones, or any others that I've been around (friends, family, etc.).
I would say that no, that isn't normal. If you're near one, take it to an Apple store. Or, if you made your purchase at the wireless carrier you've chosen, take it back to them to see if they could help you out.
Best of luck. -
My macbook pro is making strange fan related noises. Sounds as if something is stuck in the fan. First time this has happened since I got my computer. Every time I put it to sleep I wouldn't hear the sound anymore. Any suggestions?

Probably is. They get dusty. Shut down your computer and clean it out with a vacuum (don't blow dust back inside). -
Trying to update the software on my iphone 4. It stops and says, "An error occurred while backing up this iphone. -43. Would you like to continue? Continuing will result in the loss of content..." What should I do?
The first thing you need to do is (in the left side of iTunes, under devices) right click on your phone, and do a manual back up. As long as that works, this should work for you. After you back it up, go to your phone in iTunes, and do a "Restore". Click the option to restore and update. When it is done with the update, it will ask you if you want to set your phone up as a new phone, or restore from the last back up. Restore it, and after another restart, and a sync, you will have your updated phone without loosing your information.

IPhone 4s sounds like something is loose when it vibrates?
Ok well I have the iPhone 4s. When it vibrates, I can hear some buzzing noise that sounds like something is loose. When I put pressure on the bottom right corner of the phone, it doesn't make the buzzing noise. I've read a few things online about other people having the same problem. I guess it's due to a new vibration system? I dunno. It's not the worst possible defect. The buzzing isn't too loud, but it is annoying and obnoxious. Anyone else having this issue?
Same problem here. I wish there was a way to merge the similar posts about the 4S rattle problem so Apple can see that it is an issue. So far I've dealt with 4 Apple employees for this issue. The first, an in-store Genius, told me that since his phone also has the rattle it must be normal. The second was phone support. She told me that I was the first person to bring this issue to her attention and it definitely isn't right. She suggested I go to my local Apple store and ask for a replacement. I did, so now my third Apple person was a Genius. He again told me that even though he could hear the problem it sounded normal to him. I called Apple support again (employee number 4). Again they said that I was the first person to call with the problem. She started to suggest a restore but stopped herself cause I think she realized how dumb that was about to sound. In the end she basically said to deal with it and call back if it gets worse.
Awesome job on this one Apple. Please officially acknowledge the problem so your employees can get on the same page. -
I can hear a slight lose part when I tap the back top of the iPhone 3GS?
I have the iPhone 3GS, gave my wife my old 3G. when I tap with my finger on the top of the 3GS up above the apple logo on the back I hear a slight rattle (or what seems to sound like a lose part inside the unit).
When I do the same tap my wife 3G it sound solid with no slight rattle inside?
Is it possible the compass component inside the phone or a different accelerometer Apple may of used (like a mercury switch) that may has a slight rattle?
I know this may seem trivial, but now I find myself tapping my phone and pondering if I have a lose part. The phone works great otherwise???
ThanksCheck the Ring/Silent switch above the volume rocker switch. It could be loose.

Check to see if Quick Voice is available on File Sharing.

When i right clicked on pic, an option was there .I can not remember what it said except something like "Block fb"
You can use these steps to check if images are blocked:
*Check the exceptions in "Tools > Options > Content: Load Images > Exceptions" (e.g. sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net)
*Open the web page that has the images missing in a browser tab.
*Click the website favicon ([[Site Identity Button]]) on the left end of the location bar.
*Click the "More Information" button to open the "Page Info" window with the Security tab selected (also accessible via "Tools > Page Info").
*Go to the <i>Media</i> tab of the "Tools > Page Info" window.
*Select the first image link and scroll down through the list with the Down arrow key.
*If an image in the list is grayed and there is a check-mark in the box "<i>Block Images from...</i>" then remove that mark to unblock the images from that domain. -
When I tap the back side of iphone5 near the camera, the rattling sound occurs. is this normal?
somebody says it is because of auto focus of the lens. but from where is the source? is there any engineer who agrees with this?
Check the Ring/Silent switch above the volume rocker switch. It could be loose.

Can any one help or tell me what to do to fix this? iPad just went to black screen and won't light up. It is on and is charged.
Have you tried a soft-reset to see if that gets it to boot up ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds, after which the Apple logo will hopefully appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

Does anyone know how to fix this? I really don't want to have to rebuy and reload all of my music and apps.

Ever since I got my Iphone 4s, I have noticed that when I film a video and play it back, it has this buzzing noise and when im in the middle of filming a video and I focus on something, you can hear a click where I have focused when I play it back, is this the microphone? can I fix it myself? or do i have to take my iPhone in to be properly fixed? Help Me please!!
See this veeeeeeeeeery long thread.
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3404857
It's an issue with hundreds of phones. Some claim it's software related, some hardware, some say it's a mixture of both.
Some people have had temporary success with quitting the Phone.app / restoring as a new phone / restoring from an iCloud backup / disabling Siri / toggling speakerphone on & off...
Unfortunately all of the above only been temporary, with the problem recurring again after a few calls, or a few days etc.
So far the only solution that seems permanent has been to replace the phone. But even so, it's the luck of the draw to recieve a functional phone, and not another faulty one.
I'm completely annoyed as there is no Apple Store near me...... and Apple haven't even acknowledged the issue, despite the above thread being 34 pages long, as of writing. -
I have reset my iphone and erased all content and settings. when i turned it back on i only have access to emergency numbers what should i do?
Thanks for help.After wiping it, you need to re-activate it. If it is carrier locked, you will need to activate it on the network it is locked to.
