My sleep/wake button broke today while I was running.  But I'm in AFGHANISTAN!  When I try to get it serviced, they tell me they can't ship to APO!  What else can I do?  Want me to walk to my nearest Apple store?  Do they have one of those in Kabul?

Dear Apple-
Why do you not ship to APO?  Is your contract with FEDEX really so restrictive that you cannot ship repairs to soldiers in Afghanistan?  Seriously?  I should have bought a Zune. 
The sleep/wake button is pathetically cheap on the 6G Nano.  This is probably my 7th iPod and I have to come to expect something of higher standard from a company like Apple. 
So how do we resolve my broken sleep/wake button?  Who knows!  Apple won't ship to APO...

  • HT1430 my ipad has gone dead.   I tried holding the sleep/wake button down until the red slider appears but it never does.  By the way this a refurbished unit I purchased from Apple and just received it yesterday.

  • My ipod nano just turns off and on when i repeatedly plug in headphones and the sleep/wake button is disabled while I have my headphones plugged in

    My Ipod Nano basically switched the function of turning on/off when i plug in the headphones. I found a way to beat this by plugging in my headphones an even number of times, but when I do this, the Sleep/Wake button is completely rendedered useless. As soon as the screen turns off I cannot change songs by double clicking, but I am able to change volume. The same is for trying to sleep the screen. I have tried factory resetting the ipod and using different headphones but the problem seems like it is not affected by these steps. I also tried to clean out the headphone jack and the result is the same.

    Take the iPod Nano to an Apple store or an AASP.  Whichever is more convenient for you.

  • YouTube says there is an "Authorization Error" when I try to get on the site with Firefox. Can I fix this?

    When I try to get onto YouTube, the site is completely white with the words "Authorization Error" in the top left corner. For a while, all I had to do was reload YouTube and it was fine. Now it just won't work at all. I have Internet Explorer on my computer as well and YouTube works fine on there. When this error occurs, the icon in the address bar changes back to YouTube's old icon.
    I have tried:
    -Updating Firefox
    -Restarting the computer
    -Closing and re-opening Firefox
    -Typing https instead of http before the address
    -Googling and clicking Google's link to the site (yes, a feeble attempt, I know)
    Does anyone know what I can do to get YouTube back on my favorite browser? I'd like to stop having to run to Internet Explorer to use this site.
    Thanks!

  • After hard drive crash I needed to authorise my pc again. itunes tells me iphone cannot sync as pc not authorised. when I try to authorise the pc, itunes tells me pc is already authorised... what can i do?

    After a recent hard drive crash I needed to authorise my pc again. I first de-authorised all previous computers (there was no other option)
    Then I authorised the pc with the new hard drive.
    then I tried to sync
    Then itunes tells me iphone cannot sync as pc not authorised.
    when I try to authorise the pc, itunes tells me pc is already authorised...
    I have been playing this game 10 times now ... "cannot sync because pc not authorised" and then "cannot authorise as already authorised"
    what can i do?
    thanks

    yes, a few times. the number of authorised computers decreases and increases from zero to one and vice versa accordingly. yet I am still being told that it cannot sync.

  • IPod Touch sleep/wake button broke

    I recently got my iPod touch in late June (so it is the first gen). When the 2.0 firmware came out I upgraded it. And when the 2.1 firmware came out I upgraded it.
    But in October (About 10/3/08) I was using one of my apps, and tried to turn off the iPod/ lock it (or whatever happens when you push the power button) but it didn't work. I tried several times but it does not work.
    The only way I can turn it on/ unlock it is by pushing the home button. I have to wait a minute for it to "Auto-Lock"
    Do you think it has to be repaired or is it a software issue? (It is NOT and has never been jailbroken)

    Never mind, all I had to do what push the button in a couple of times.

  • Can i download ADOBE on my i mac. When i try to get some docs it tells me that i need this programme to load the information.

    How do I get ADOBE on my i mac - in fact, CAN I get ADOBE is probably the best way to ask the question. I cannot download some information becasue I haven't got this programme.

    Things such as catalogs can be produced as a PDF file which could be opened by Adobe Reader (free from Adobe site). They should also open using Preview (already on your Mac). Catalogs can also be produced using Flash technology. The flash player can also be downloaded from the Adobe site

  • When I try to install latest update it tells me it can't do so because Firefox is open, even though it's not - any suggestions?

    When i try and install the latest update via the Wizard I get as far as setup type when it tells me that Firefox must be closed to proceed with installation - even though that window is the only thing open on the PC. I've never had any issues with installing updates before, any ideas?

  • How to go about Iphone5 sleep/wake button replacement program in Saudi Arabia

    The sleep/wake button of my iphone5 doesn't work. Aware of the replacement program but literally no help from the service provider in KSA. It's been 4 months since my warranty expired. Any ideas anyone?

    My iPhone 5 falls under both Battery and Sleep/Wake button replacement program. It was given to me as a gift by somebody and I found out that the country of purchase was US. Most of the time we can get Apple product in the market that originally purchased in the US and then brought and sold to different countries. When I contacted Apple Technical support for my replacement, I was told that I need to send my phone to US for this repair. I am currently in United Arab Emirates and don't know many people in US whom I can send the phone to take it to the Apple Store for repair. Since Apple has authorized service providers and Store in my country of residence, can you please provide the solution in this regard that is much more convenient than sending the phone to US?
    Will await a simpler solution and reply.
    Rahil
    You were given the solution already by Apple, why do you feel you need to ask again?
    There are no international warranty.
    Your two options 1. send it to someone in the U.S.  2. fly to the U.S.  that is all.

  • HT201412 my ipod is frozen, and displays a white screen. It won't turn off; I've tried restarting with on/off and sleep/wake buttons.. Nothing happens

    Our i{POD touch is frozen, and displays a white screen.  I can't turn it off, and it is unresponsive when trying the on/off, sleep/wake buttons.

    Let the battery fully drain. After charging for at least an hour try:

  • My Ipod Nano shuts off after awhile during use? Is this a defect or is this something correctable with the sleep/wake button? I want it to play continuously while I use it, not continually shut down?

    My Ipod nano shuts down continuously during use? Is this a problem/defect or can this be corrected with the sleep/wake button? While working out the unit goes black and the music stops?

    You don't have the headset jack plugged all the way in. Make sure the plastic on the headset jack is flush with the body of the Nano.

  • I want to disable my sleep/wake button

    Hello,
    I have a iphone 4S, im looking for a APP that i can download that will allow me to disable the use of the Sleep/Wake button.
    I would prefer some kind of APP that can disable the button while the phone is locked (must enter password) screen. Then when i unlock it the button can work again. If there isnt an APP like this i would still like to know if there is a APP that i can download that can just disable the button completely.
    I know this can be done with hardware being disconnected but i will also be losing my proximity sensor if i do this and i really dont want to go that route. I would prefer a software disable.
    Please let me know
    Thank you
