  • Do I need insurance to get a new iPhone if my lock button doesn't work?

    I have an iPhone 4 and my lock button doesn't work anymore. I've asked around and some of my friends think it's a malfunction in the spring, I was wondering if I could get a new phone since it's a malfunction and that it's not my fault.

    Hi
    If it's within the first year's warranty or within the extended applecare warranty period it will be repaired free of charge provided the fault does not contravene the conditions of the warranty.
    If it's out of warranty you can pay for an out-of-warranty repair.
    Either way you should take it to either your service provider or your nearest apple store.
    HTH?

  • My iPhone's Sleep/Lock Button doesn't work?

    I have an iPhone 4 which iv had it for almost a year now and yesterday night I pressed on the lock button and it wouldn't sleep ? or Lock??? I have NEVER ever dropped an iPhone or any phone.. NO it has never gotten wet, the phones button no longer does the clicking sound and feels stiff like pressing down on rubber. I do have warranty on my phone until 2012 of June. What can I do ?, can I get my phone replaced for a NEW one or Fixed ?

    Hey i a few months ago had the problem, and like *gdgmacguy said i did so. I took  out my phone i downloaded the Apple Store App and i set up an appointment with a guy at the genius bar, i went the next day with only my phone and nothing else, we talked about what was the problem and he took a look at it with a little light which i guess it was to make sure it wasnt droped in the water and within 5 min he just took a brand new iPhone for me. So i walked out with the reciept of the exchange (Paid $0.00. ) and a brand new iPhone 4.

  • AddThis Button is gone after the last update. Also when I click on add ons, then select the options button on any add on the add on screen locks up and I have to shut down firefox. Any Ideas how to fix this? Running Windows XP.

    After the most recent Firfox update, the Add-on page locks up when I click on options for any add-on. Also my AddThis button is gone.

    # Yes, if you go to accounts.firefox.org, sign out, you will now be signed out.
    # Sign back in, and you will be asked to save the password you entered.
    # This will save the password and autocomplete if you have this option turned on.
    I am not exactly sure why the menu did not detect the password change or if it was stored incorrectly after you changed it? But after storing the correct password you can manage any duplicate passwords in the password manager.[[Password manager - Remember, delete and change saved passwords in Firefox]]

  • How to unlock an iphone 3gs when it's sim locked and the lock button doesn't work???

    I bought this iphone 3gs off an app. I just want to use it as an ipod. it is sim locked (with two attempts left) and the lock button doesn't work at all. What can I do? I just want to use it as an ipod.
    I have also tried everything. I took the sim card out and put it back in again. And I have also left it out. And I have tried connecting it to itunes but I need to unlock. (some of these were suggested by the seller)
    Please help me.
    im

    My guess - and this is completely a guess - is that the SIM in that phone has a PIN that was added to it by the previous owner. Whomever you bought it from didn't bother to check for this (or didn't care) before they got it from the previous owner.
    You need to get a new AT&T SIM for that phone - you could even borrow one from a friend if they have one that will fit the phone. You would only need the SIM to activate it.
    There is no way to activate an iPhone without a SIM in it, even if you don't plan to use it as anything other than an iPod.

  • Lock button doesn't work on iPhone 4

    Lock button doesn't work

    I fixed my powerbutton easily with some
    water repellent oil. I dont know what its called, it is that thing you use for locks and hinges anyway. My iphone powerbutton has been working for like 7 months now. There is no difference from when it was new! I can really recomend this. Just remember to turn of the phone and have it upside down when you spray. And dont use to much! Theres no need for more than a few drops.

  • Iphone won't turn on after being dropped?lock button doesn't work

    I dropped my iPhone 4s onto the ground , and the screen is black. I've looked at other apple discussions and they said to hold onto the home and lock button. However, my lock button doesn't work! I've been using assistive touch on my iPhone ever since the lock button stopped working

    If you haven't, try connecting it to your charger. If that doesn't bring it back to life, there's nothing more you can try without a working sleep/wake button.

  • Why doesn't my iPhone 5 power/lock button work?

    I just called the apple support people and I had told them my issue of my iPhone 5 power/lock button being dis functional. I had also told them I went to the apple store in guilford mall surrey,bc I had a week left in my warranty at that point. When I went to the apple store i told the representatives that my battery was having some problems ( this issue was resolved) and I told the representative that my power button sometimes has a problem but not as much. The representative did not take this into consideration and told me " to not use my phone as rough ". At this point I had thought my main issue was to only get my battery issue resolved which was resolved, so I didn't really think about asking one more time about the power/lock button. 2 weeks after my warranty had expired I first called apple support telling them I am having many difficulties with my lock/power button. They told me at that point it would cost $260+tax to replace the phone. Then I told them that I have already talked to your representatives at the apple store in guilford mall surrey bc and that they didn't take it into consideration at that point. The apple care person told me "I'm sorry sir you could've have only gotten it replaced when you were still under warranty" and he said " the only option here is to restore your phone ( which I did and nothing changed) or replace your phone by paying $260+ tax. After I told them I would try going to the store again to resolve this disappointing issue. When I went in the store today I told the same thing I told to the representative over the phone and the store representative told me "sorry your appointment of coming before your warranty is not showing up on my system" then I pulled up an email confirming that I had actually come to the same apple store before my warranty had expired. He still didn't take anything into consideration and told me to just use the accessible touch or pay the amount to replace my phone  I am very disappointed because when I went before my warranty was about to expire the representative didn't advise me to get my phone replaced and simply didn't take my concern into consideration. I hope the manager of the store looks into this for the future customers and tries to resolve my issue. Thanks

    After your appointment at the Genius Bar, you received an email asking for your feedback.  I suggest you copy these comments and paste them there.  Ranting here serves no purpose at all.

  • IPhone 5 lock button doesn't work normally!

    My iPhone 5 has started to recieve problems with the lock button. It takes about 5-6 times to press the lock button hard on an angle so that it works. I still have it under the one year warranty. I haven't done any physical or water damage. What should I do?

    For the past month or so my lock button hasn't been working. It takes three or more tries to get it to work and sometimes I just can't even use it. 
    Looks like a Visit to an Apple Store or AASP (Authorized Apple Service Provider) is required...
    Be sure to make an appointment first...

  • Help my ipod (touch) lock button doesn't work

    my  iPod lock button doesn't usualy work only like 40 times then stops
    also the volume buttons don't work at the same time  any help |
    Thanks in advanceLogan0916

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    When it says place the iPod in recovery mode use this program
    RecBoot: Easy Way to Put iPhone into Recovery Mode
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • The lock button doesn't work

    I bought my iphone 5 for just a few months. But the lock button doesn't work these days.

    Place the iPod in recovery mode using this program:
    For PC
    RecBoot: Easy Way to Put iPhone into Recovery Mode
    For MAC or PC
    The Firmware Umbrella - TinyUmbrella
    Then restore to factory settings/new iPod. If still problem you have a hardware problem.

  • My lock button doesn't work. What can I do about it?

    I got my iPhone 4 refurbished, and the lock button doesn't work. It turns the screen on, but not off, and it doesn't work to take screen shots.

    More than likely a hardware problem.
    Make an appointment at an Apple Store if there is one nearby to confirm.

  • My screen if frozen and I can't shut off my phone. I already have my assistiave touch button on my screen but it still own't let me shut off my phone. And my lock button doesn't work either

    My screen is frozen on the camera and my phone won't let me shut it off. My lock button doesn't work and my assistance touch button won't let me shut it down either. My phone also takes hours to die and my battery if fully charged so i can't wait for it to die i need to get it back to normal asap! How do I get it to unfreeze?

    A reset is when you press and hold both the home and sleep buttons for 10 seconds or so until the Apple logo appears. You won't lose any data. Give it a try.
