Right so, my iPhone charger only works on occasions and I'm not sure what is happening

I have an iPhone 4S and sometimes my charger messes up a little, I realise it is in low battery and then go to charge but for some reason it just doesn't.
I have tried so much to keep my charger in good shape like taking it out of the plug while not in use and taking the USB out the actual charger when I'm not using it. So do I have to buy a new charger or is it my phone?

Not all of your information is correct Libby. First off yes, you should try another charger to rule out the issue of it being the charger or the phone, if the phone still doesnt charge well with a know good charger then it is a hardware issue with the phone. However as far as your phone being replaced for free, there are some stipulations, obviously it has to be under warranty, secondly it can not have been in contact with liquid, and the issue must not have been caused by accidental damage. I would suggest taking it into an Apple store if you have one located near you, if not i would contact Apple Support at 1-800-MY-APPLE, through which u can have send your phone in for repair either by taking it to a The UPS store, or Apple will send you a Box and a shipping label and you can send it out yourself. The last option that Libby referred to is an "express replacement" of sorts, Apple will send you a phone that will arrive in 1-4 business days, from the day Apple sends out that phone you will 1:Have a hold put on your credit card for the full value of the new device, 2: be charged $29 for the express replacement, 3: Have 10 Business days to return the broken device, or the charge will not be lifted from your credit card.

My ipod touch 4th generation won't charge all of a sudden and I'm not sure what to do?

When I get home from school I instantly put my ipod on it's charger because I use it a lot during the day. i always put in on an ipod dock and play my music while it charges and use my computer until it's completely done charging. So, today I did that and had a friend over and while she was using my computer I asked her to pass me my ipod and she did and I used it without any problems whatsoever. After she left I put it on the charger where it did not work. I figured it was the dock itself so I turned it off then on and nothing it still wouldn't work, then I went and put it on an outlet charger where it acknowledged that it was on a charger and turned on for a brief moment then turned off again and again. It hasn't been used since then and it keeps truning on and off. I was getting worried and tried to look up some solutions online but wasn't getting any until I saw this one that said it could have possibly been from the static shock of something. My friend shocked herself before touching it then I did the same later while putting it on an outlet charger... could that be it? And if so, how do I fix it? Please I really need some help with this.

Not Charge
- See:
iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
- Try another cable.
- Try another charging source
- Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

Hello congratulations for the work you have been developing. The apple support has helped me greatly improve my Mac and better understand some applications. Recently my iPhoto has given me problems and I do not realize what is happening. When I double click a photo it does not appear ... or rather the background is black and only the zoom window appears. How to solve this? I've done a restoration of the library, but the problem remains. Thanks and good job.

There are several possible causes for the Black Screen issue
1. Permissions in the Library: Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Include the option to check and repair permissions.
2. Minor Database corruption: Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild.
3. A Damaged Photo: Select one of the affected photos in the iPhoto Window and right click on it. From the resulting menu select 'Show File (or 'Show Original File' if that's available). (On iPhoto 11 this option is under the File -> Reveal in Finder.) Will the file open in Preview? If not then the file is damaged. Time to restore from your back up.
4. A corrupted iPhoto Cache: Trash the com.apple.iPhoto folder from HD/Users/Your Name/Library/ Caches...
5. A corrupted preference file: Trash the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder. (Remember you'll need to reset your User options afterwards. These include minor settings like the window colour and so on. Note: If you've moved your library you'll need to point iPhoto at it again.)
If none of these help:
As a Test:
Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?

HT1414 When I hit restore a file menu from my computer pops up and I am not sure what file to put in to get my iphone to restore from. I don't get the box that says are you sure you want to restore. So how do I get it to restore so I can see if this fix

I got a "new" iphone from the Apple store when my dog bit the phone and cracked the front. This new phone will not play any music, ie no sound will come out. I can watch videos with sounds but no music from any of my playlists. I checked with Apple and was told to try to restore my iphone. I did all the necessary prep work like backing up and syncing and then hit the restore button on the iTunes page. A file menu icon popped up with a blank in it and I do not know what file I need to put in the window as where it needs to find a file to restore the phone. I never got a message that said are you sure you want to restore the phone. I need some help if anyone knows how to do this or should I just go back to the Apple store (which is over an hour away)? Thanks

I am syncing my iphone to my iTunes account and then I do a backup and also making sure all updates are current. Then by going to the my phone and then going to the right and selecting the restore my iphone.
Here is a picture of what I get

HT1595 When I connect with my wifi it comes up as connected to wifi but not the Internet and all my other devices work except the Apple TV and I'm not sure what to do

At first my Apple TV was stuck so I unplugged it and re plugged it so everything disappeared all my apps everything then when I tried hooking up to my Internet it said connected to wifi but cannot connect to the Internet so I'm not sure what that means or how to fix it

GH
When you say everything disappeared do you still have Computers and Settings icons? Try rebooting the router and apple tv with all cables out for 30 seconds. Does it work eathernet connected if you can try that too?

4s Hotspot tethering only works with USB and BT but not with wifi

Hi,
XP sp3 - iPhone 4s with ios 5.0.1 - on Three one plan
Tethering with wifi works to a friends Samsung phone, wifi on the pc confirmed working with the apple store wifi, tethering with USB and BT works with good connection speeds on my laptop but when i try to tether with wifi it connects to the laptop at 54mbps and all appears well, even claims to have received a small amount of data packets, but no data comes to any browser. The iPhone reports 1 connection to the hotspot and stays connected with a non-pulsing blue bar after the first minute.
In the PC i have tried this http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Change-the-order-of-network-protocol -bindings
I've deleted my firewall (zone alarm) completely and turned off windows firewall to go naked surfing for a second even though they don't cause a problem with USB tethering, makes no difference
I've deleted the network connection numerous times
"repaired" connection
dissabled and enabled the wifi
turned off the wireless with a hardware switch and on again
disabled bluetooth
rebooted many times
reinstalled itunes (latest)
loads more things i can't remember
This is causing me a nightmare. I've been through everything i can find online, been to the Apple store genius bar (genius appeared to have sub zero knowledge / interest as it involved a MS machine), been to a Three shop (legally not allowed to touch my PC apparently) and been to a Sony shop (laptop make, not their fault if my iphone doesn't work). All very frustrating.
Please help if you can! Any suggestion will be tried unless it involves sledge hammers or lakes, and only then for a few more days at most.

Turned off bluetooth on phone, turned off hotspot and on again, phone asked if i wanted to turn on bluetooth or go with USB and wifi only, said usb/wifi only. Still nothing. Rebooted PC and iphone. Turned on hotspot, pc seemlessly connects to network, still no data comes.
One odd thing is zone alarm asks me to "select a security zone for the wireless network at ip address: *******.0" every time and doesn't seem to remember the setting over sessions. When i get the status of the connection the ip address is *****.2 and default gateway is same ********.1 Not sure if that's anything.
Also getting a javascript error about an undefinded component (trustcheckermozilla) since i updated zonealarm but as i said even completely uninstalling zonealarm made no difference. I'll update firefox as well but tried with IE and still no data.

When I connect my iPAD to my PC it no longer automatically opens the IPAD device window to allow me to sync. It works ok for my iPOD so not sure what the problem is?.

When I connect my iPAD to my PC it no longer opens it at as device in itunes.
This has worked in the past.
I don't have problems with my old iPOD. That is recognised and syncs ok.
Also, the PC recognises the iPAD as a drive so I'm not sure why it doesn't open it in itunes... Very frustrating.

Thanks, this helped. THere was a new version of iTunes I downloaded to my PC and now the iPad is recognized.
The problem now is that I get the message that I cannot backup my iPad as my PC is not authorised, even though when I click to authorize it says my PC is already authorized.
I will click through the forum to see if there is an answert to this.

HT4623 My iPad 2 audio only works with headphones and orientation does not work at all

My iPad 2 volume button does not work with the integrated speakers of my iPad, once a headphone is connected to the jack output of my iPad the OSD volume displays fine and works to the external headphone but once the headphone jack is removed, there is no more a volume bar and the side volume buttons don't work at all, this has affected the screen orientation as well, screen does not orientate as well,
Please help

If you deleted files from the operating system, you wrecked your installation and the first thing you need to do is either restore those files from a backup or reinstall the OS. Doing that is never the solution to any problem. Back up all data before making any changes.

HT201401 when i hit the phone icon only my e-mail contacts show up not sure what happend to all my contacts

when i go to call someone now i push my contacts and onle the people with e-mails show up and no phone #s

That sounds odd.. do you use icloud? if so, do you have it set to sync your contacts?
when was the last time you did a backup?

My new iPhone won't activate. I tried to and it didn't work i'm not sure what to do.

I got a new iPhone 5c for an early Christmas present, and it didn't activate right and now nothing will work and i'm not sure what to do. It won't let me restore the new iPhone because i can't log in to icloud. Help!!!

Sorry, you're going to have to actually explain what the problem is. This is far too vague to have an accurate idea of what's wrong.
What do you mean by:
It won't let me restore the new iPhone because i can't log in to icloud.
What exactly are you doing? What is the EXACT error message you get and where do you see it?

I just realised my newly purchased iphone 6 screen is cracked. I am not sure how that happened though :( would verizon replace it for me?

I Just realised my newly purchased iphone 6 screen is cracked.. I am not sure how it happen or when.. Would Verizon replace it for me??

Your cracked screen is considered customer abuse and it will not get replaced by Verizon. You will have to file an insurance claim.

Right so, my iPhone charger only works on occasions and I'm not sure what is happening
