Purchased a non-working iphone 4 and am in need of help

Okay, so I purchased a non-working iphone 4 off of ebay, because sadly that was the only way I could afford one. Anyway, I began breaking it down piece by piece last night so that I might be able to narrow down what was wrong with it. And that is where I need the help of the apple community. I have cleaned all the contact metal on the inner part of the iphone, cleaned the logic board, the charging port. The person I bought it from said that it would randomly restart while charging, and once you unplugged it from charging, it would shut off. So far, I have not even been able to get it to charge at all, and therefore, no random restarting either. I was able to get it to come back on after I had cleaned everything off and put it back together, even tried to restore it through itunes, but it got stuck on the apple logo, and brought up two different errors on two different occasions, 1603 and 21. I am relieved that there is nothing wrong with the lcd screen or the digitizer, as I know those are expensive. I already have a new battery ordered for it that should be here tomorrow along with a charging port as well because the previous owner said it could probably use a battery, and I just went ahead and ordered the charging port just in case there might be something wrong with it as well. My question is, is it possible that the logic board could be bad in my iphone, and could that be also causing my iphone not to charge, or restore to ios 6.1.3? All help is appreciated. Thanks.

Is it possible? Yes. Very much so.
The iPhone is not user serviceable. Apple does not sell iPhone parts. Apple won't touch it now that its been opened. Try checking ifixit.com for help. There's not much we can tell you.

I have a .mac family account, a personal .mac account and separate iTunes id I use for my work iPhone and the associated apps. How do I keep them separate in the iCloud change?

Welcome to the Apple community.
Could you tell us a little more about what you want to do. Bear in mind that iTunes has nothing to do with your iCloud account.

Many thanks.
With those symptoms, I'd try the following document:

(If there's a SpeedBit LSP showing up in Autoruns, it's usually best to just uninstall your SpeedBit Video Accelerator.)

Resource availability during Non-Working Hours and Weekends

Hi Gurus,
Aim: Make the Resource available during Non-Working Hours and Weekends
Requirement: CRP functionality enabling
In CRC2 I have selected capacity tab and in capacity header under 'Change Interval and Shifts' button. I have Inserted a new Interval period and given the validity from/to dates(Non-Working day - Saturday) and Saved.
When i execute the Capacity Planning CM01, there is no change. The Resource availability still shows as "0"hrs for this particular date and for rest of the days it shows as 8hrs.
I have checked the same even after executing the MRP, No change in Capacity Planning Overview - Still the available Capacity Showas as 0
Please guide me, how can i use my resource during the holidays. Means make the system understand that the defined day is a working day though it is holiday as per factory calendar
Please correct me whether am i missing any settings or i should follow some other logic
Regards,
Tam

In workdays i dont have any such option "2"
As per standard list I could see only 3 entries in the possible values(F4) popup
"Blank" - Working days according to factory calendar
"0" - Non-Working days(Overrides factory Calendar)
"1" - orking days(Overrides factory Calendar)
I have even tried with option "0" and "1" its still the same, when i enter the period From and To date the fields for the entries Shift start and end date, workday, Shift Seq, Length of the shift, No.of shifts.........are jumping to the next line item.
Because of which i understand that the entered values is not corresponds to the newly defined period
Pls guide me to how to make the resource available during non working days

Several purchases not downloading to iPhone and ipad

Several purchases not downloading to iPhone and ipad - just get an "unable to download message" also can't access previous purchased audiobooks in the purchased section, it ask's me to purchase again?

Hi ...
Try resetting the devices.
Hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home button down at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
If that didn't help, test on one of the devices.
Tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings
If helped on one device, do the same for the other.

Update: I reset my phone again and this time I restored it from my last iCloud backup. That "sort of" worked. (The missing info was on my phone temporarily, but it's still missing from iCloud.com and as the phone syncs with the cloud the missing contacts are disappearing.)
This is good news, but I'm losing progress. How can I restore my iCloud settings to that last backup?

I seem to have lost most of my 9000 photos when I upgraded to Yosemite 10.10.3. iPhoto won't work now and says it needs an upgrade not available in the UK. Only a few of the 9000 photos appear on Photos! HELP?

Move the incompatible iPhoto version to the Trash, before you try to reinstall from the AppStore, but don't empty the Trash.
update as described here:
Get iPhoto 9.6.1 if you didn't update before OS... | Apple Support Communities
The main idea is to move the iPhoto app to the Trash, so Spotlight does not see it as installed, reload the AppStore Purchases tab with ⌘R, and then to try to download again from the App Store - from your Purchases tab, not from the main page, since you can neither buy iPhoto nor update it, but you can reinstall, if your AppleID is associated with it.

Sorry, no further idea what can cause this.
Is the shortcuts file truely saved to disk? You can find in the user path, where the preferences and presets are stored for PS. Or if you go to the dialog again where you change shortcuts, is it reverted there too?

Hi Michela27,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If you have content on your iPhone that isn't on your computer, the best thing is to use the advice in this article to transfer it to your new computer before setting up sync:

I currently have one iTunes account for my personal iPod Touch and for my work iPhone and iPad. Can I create a separate account for work and keep my current account for my personal use - on the same computers?

I have an iTunes account for my personal iPod Touch - have had for several years. When my work provided me with an iPhone and now and iPad 2, they all fall under my personal iTunes account. Is it possible for me to create a separate account for my work devices and apps, while leaving my personal account intact? I use both my compter at home and at work to sync occasionally.

A much simpler solution would be to go into Settings > Store and turn off Automatic Downloads

I purchased music on my iphone and the not the itunes store on the computer, so when my phone with my music on the broken phone and not on my new one i was wondering how i can get them put back on?

Hello my name is Nolan, I purchased songs for my iphone on my iphone itunes app, not the itunes on the computer, the first iphone I had broken and i have an replacement I was just wondering if someone can put my songs that I purchased back on my itunes account?
Thank you, Nolan Smith II

You should have transfered them to your computer.
You buy only one download.
If you are in the U.S. then you can use the newly released beta version of the cloud to get the music

Why won't my purchases from iTunes download to my mac pro. I purchased them from my iPhone and iPad and they won't transfer automatically like they used to. Is there a recent problem with this?

Is there a problem with itunes today? I purchased songs form itunes on my ipad and iphone and they didn't transfer to my macpro. Even when I plug ipad into my mac they still won't download to mac. There was no problem before today. Thanks

Yes, I think there is definitely something wrong with iTunes but I don't think it's happened this year - think it was the last update. If I purchase anything using either my iphone or ipad it doesn't download on my imac. Not every time just most. Also, some of my album artwork is messed up.

I purchased songs on my iphone and transferred to my itunes library on my PC, but 3 of the 6 songs did not completely download? On my iphone they are complete.

I purchased songs on my iphone4 and transferred them to my itunes library on my PC. I transferred over a wi-fi connection for the first time and for whatever reason 3 of the 6 songs are only partially downloaded..even though they appear completely downloaded the songs stops abruptly. On my iphone they are complete and play without problem.

If the computer iTunes is signed into the same account then contact iTunes:
