My original iphone 5 charger has broken, unable to use 3rd party charger has left me with no phone!

I am now left without a phone APPLE, either send me a replacement charger free of charge (Iphone 5 charger shouldnt be breaking due to wear and tear already!) or allow me to use a 3rd party charger as frankly £30 for a replacement charger that broke without being my fault is ridiculous!

Why unable to use 3rd party cable for charging?

I'd been using Apple iPhone 4 for more han 3 years, due to wear and tear, the charging cable provided by Apple had frayed.
I bought a new cable from an authorised store, but the iPhone cannot be charged, as it's not responding.
Error message showed : This cable is not authorised, unable to charge phone.
I anticipate this same experience will occur with my Apple iPad mini.
Apple's cable costs at least 4 times the price of a 3rd party's.
I'm getting very frustrated with this, as I hv to borrow cable from a family member whenever I need to charge my phone.
Don't understand why Apple hv to control such usage. Secondly, this is also prompting me to change to another brand's phone, which is Apple's rival.
Most of my friends have switched from Apple to this brand, due to frustrations with Apple's control.

Firstly, it's got nothing to do with control. Apple wants it's products to charge more quickly than other products, therefore it has to provide a higher voltage to them. The reason that your awesome iPhone rejected your crappy third-party cable, is to keep you from frying your phone. Incorrect voltage management is how bad things happen, such as cables melting, or phone mysteriously stops working. If you use a third party cable, you run the risk of ruining property. Hence the warning message. Apple makes very good products, and that is why they cost more. A good apple cable is going to last four times longer than the crappy one anyways, so save some money in the long run and get a proper cord.

I lost my Iphone 3GS. My brother has given me his Iphone 4 now. We both use the same notebook to update and sync our phones. I would like to know how can i reconnect back to my account using the Iphone which was previous used by my brother.

If you are saying that you both have iCloud accounts and use the same icloud ID, then yes, the contacts will be deleted. The idea is that all devices using the same icloud ID are kept in sync. You need to use different IDs. You can keep the same iTunes ID so you can share the songs and apps. But use different icloud IDs.

My iPhone 5 won't let me use my apps until I connect them with iTunes after downloading ios7. Solutions?

My iPhone 5 won't let me use my apps until I connect them with iTunes after downloading ios7. There's just a thing that pops up and says that in order to activate banners and push notifications I have to connect the app with iTunes. The thing won't go away no matter how many times I push ok, and it doesn't give me another option. Solutions?

Oh my gosh I had the EXACT same problem, and for ages I couldn't figure out how to fix it until today. Here's what I did:
First I went onto my computer, opened itunes, and un-installed tumblr, vine and kik. These were the apps I was having problems with (it said I had them on my phone but, like you, they didn't show).
Then I went to the itunes store, searched for each one, and it said I could update them so I did (just FYI: for tumblr a window popped up saying "please click ok to confirm you are 17 years or older", so I did that also)
When I went back to my phone and tried installing them again (still on my computer), it worked!
I hope this helps, because it was incredibly frustrating. Good luck!

HT4060 For some reason my iPad wont charge at all I'm using the same charger I use on my other iPad n it still won't work

For some reason my iPad wont charge at all I'm using the same charger I use on my other iPad n it still won't work

Try giving it a reset. Hold down the sleep and home keys, past when you see the red power down slider and until you see the silver apple. Let it reboot and try again.
But if that charger works just fine with your other iPad and not this one, I'd call up your local apple store and make an appointment so they can look at it. Usually when an iPad wont' charge (when plugged into the wall with its supplied charger) it's
Bad outlet
bad power brick
bad cable
and if the charger is working with another iPad then that rules that out and the thing left is something wrong with the 30 pin port on the iPad, or perhaps something with the battery or software that monitors the battery. ANd things like that are beyond a user fix.
On the upside if the device is still under warranty - and barring any obvious signs of abuse or neglect - then it should be covered under the warranty.

The charger works from 100-240VAC, 50-60HZ power.

Permanently deleting iPhone text messages... impossible without 3rd party software?

Am I correct in assuming there is currently NO possible way to permanently delete iPhone text messages and attachments unless you without either A. using 3rd party software that costs loads of money, or B. completely wiping your phone? This is seriously not available on these phones with all the other advanced features and tech?
It saves gigs of txt messages and attachments permanently that takes up all of the space on your phone... I just have a hard time believing this issue hasn't been addressed....

If the amount of storage for your Messages is not decreasing when you delete some (or all), then you need to try resetting your device to see if it will clear it up. I just went to my device and checked the amount of storage being used by Messages (13 MB). Then I deleted the 6 messages I had, and went back to check the Usage. It is now 3 MB.
To reset your device (nothing will be lost): Hold down the Home and Power buttons at the same time and continue to hold them down until the Apple appears (up to 30 seconds). Once the Slide to Unlock screen displays, check your usage again.
Cheers,
GB

Iphone 5 not charging after using third party charger.

I know there's a lot of threads that discuss this topic but I haven't found someone who has the exact situation as mine.
I broke my original charging cable and replace it with a third party thunderbolt cable. It charges once by fluctuating all the time. Now my battery is 0% and the third party thunderbolt cable doesn't work. I decided to replace it with an original thunderbolt cable but it still doesn't charge. It doesn't show anything even the battery symbol. Just blank off screen. I also let it plugged as I hope that it just needs to charge the battery because it's drained but I guess that's not the case. I'm charging via the wall charger. I also tried to connect it in the usb port of my computer and it still doesn't work. Any fixes that you guys can recommend? I am on a panic right now. . Technically this cable should work as this is the cable from apple. Thanks.

Yes I'm well aware of patents but I have used third party chargers fine with all my previous iphones. I can buy replacement third party chargers to all my other electronics, why is it that apple has to tie me into using their charging cable, it is anti-competitive and possibly an illegal practice.
If you aren't going to offer helpful advice, then please don't state the obvious!! I wasn't aware that cables were under warranty, so being in a position that I couldn't afford another apple charger I have used another charger which has by the looks of things broken my phone. So again can I do anything to try and fix it? Does anyone know whether I have a case against the manufacturer of the 3rd party cable? Is apple being anti competitive? Id appreciate helpful comments please.

I have an iphone 4s that has been hacked. Apple support has suggested that a 3rd party software has been downloaded replacing apple software which enables the hacker to screen share. I need all the info about how it was done, and how to fix the problem.

I have an iphone 4s that may have been hacked. Apple support has suggested that a 3rd party software may have been downloaded allowing screen share. I need all the info I can get as to how this could have been done and how to fix the problem.

The only way the iPhone could have been hacked in such a manner, at least by any method currently confirmed, is if the iPhone was jailbroken. Was yours?

I upgraded to iPhone 4s from 3g, can I use the car charger for the 3g with the 4s?

I have a new 4s and wish to use my existing car charger with the phone. The cables that came with the 4s look like the cables for the 3g and ipod I have, but appearances can be deceptive. Just wish to know if I have to buy a new charger or will my existing one work?

It should work just fine.
