Scolding Hot iPhone... Burned my little sister
Hey everyone
Today was one **** of an interesting day. I was driving my little sister to class and plugged my iPhone into my Premiere BT700 stereo, all went well got the little this accessory doesn't work with the iphoen thing, launched pandora and went on my way. The phone was laying on my dash on an iGrip dash mat thing, after about 20 minutes of listening to music and it charging my sister picked it up only to burn her hands, very badly. I'm not sure why this happened or how, but now i can't even restore my phone, its stuck at the apple logo with the thinking bars and will not restore, or even load the springboard.
apple, what the eff?
Hey guys
just to make things clear, I was NOT posting this message to fire up a lawsuit or anything. I don't have the money, nor the time. @ Crazylegs, I wouldn't neccessarily say it was 100% my fault, only because the techs specs, for the CD deck, say its compatible with the 5th gen iPods, that share the same USB only charging... iPods are different than iPhones I get that, but I would think the internals as far as the USB charging went, were similar. Anyway besides all that I did get my phone to reformat, by putting it into DFU mode one more time around, and did a setup as new iPhone, but sacraficed the 5 years of contacts I've been collecting. I got a lot of them back, but my most recent ones I no longer have...bummer.
With my sister, she is fine, the red marks went away and she's not complaining about them anymore.
Im in class right now, but got 2 phone calls from an apple support representative, so as far as apple wanting to address the issue speaks highly IMO. I'll give them a call as soon as I'm out of class, which won't be until after 5, so ill have to call them tomrrow, and we'll go from there. If there is a moderator reading this that knows what's going on with this issue, Im concerned with getting my phone replaced only for a refurbished one. I've heard and know people who have exchanged several times due to light leaks and dust issues, which non of this one has...so im a little skeptical of getting a refurb especially after i bought it new.
Is there anyway a moderator can PM me about this.. that'd be awesome.

I received the iPad a little over a year ago as a gift from my parents. I loved it so much that I purchased the iPhone4S and I was wondering if it were possible to transfer the Apps that I previously purchased on the iPad to my iPhone. If this isn't possible can I ask why not? I don't understand why purchasing something and paying good money for it doesn't make it truly yours to be used on your devices. I want to give the iPad to my little sister and have my parents set up a new account and "refresh" the iPad (if you can even do that) for her but I'm afraid of losing the Apps that I paid good money for just for them to dissappear. I just want to make the iPad something my sister can call her own. Right now it is connected to me and my account so I would like to change this as well if possible. I am eager to learn more and I look forward to any responses. Thank you for your time.
If you want to have the mostly same content on both devices - it probably makes more sense to restore your iPad from the iPhone backup. this will put all of your app settings and email settings onto the iPad and any app data and game saves as well will transfer to the iPad.
You still want to sync the iPad so that all of the apps and photos that are in your iTunes library transfer over to the iPad. Restoring from the backup doesn't restore apps, music, synced photos, movies, books, TV shows and podcasts - you will still need to sync that content to the iPad.
I have pretty much have the same content on my iPad and on my Touch, but I eliminated the Movies and TV shows from the Touch and some apps as well. Remember that iPhone specific apps may run OK on the iPad - they will run in the iPhone smaller screen size and while you can double the size by tapping on the 2X button in the apps, they will be lower resolution because you just doubling the size of the pixels and the apps look kind of crappy on the iPad - they may work - they just look bad.
I do not auto sync at all. Nor does iTunes open automatically when my iDevices are connected. I start iTunes on my own and I select all of the content - piece by piece - app by app and so on - as I go along. Once you get through the initial set up - iTunes remembers each device and it's content for the next time that you sync. -
My little sister typed my password too many times and disabled my phone. now i am locked out of it. how can i get back in?
You will need to restore your iPhone from the same computer that you most recently synced to.

If you can't do the restore then you will need to try recovery mode.

My little sister got my ipod locked for 22,758,764 minutes
Disabled
Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: How to back up
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
If problem, what happens or does not happen and where in the instructions? -

I was given an iphone 4s by my sister as she got a new one, now i want to clear it so that i can set it up with my own details, if i erase all content and settings will this affect anything on her new iphone as it is synced to the same gmail account
her contacts are connected directly with the Google Server so as long as they are saved to her Gmail account she should be 100% fine.. the only contacts she may lose are the ones that she added directly onto the phone and did not sync to her Gmail account.. so you should just double check with her on that

My little sister bought the songs using a itunes gift card. i plugged in my ipod nano gen. 4 into the CPU which is a Windows BTW, and after it had synced it would not allow me to play my music (on my ipod) Saying they could not be copied. there's 19 songs. The last time this happened it started with 2 songs unable to copy, then 19 songs unable to copy, THEN........78 songs! i don;t not want this to happen AGAIN! sooooooooooo.................HELP ME!!!!!!!!!!!!

My screen is black on my iPhone with the little circle in the middle like it is powering down. It's been like this for over an hour! Help
Hold the HOME and SLEEP buttons at the same time until an Apple logo appears. If it hasn't appeared after 30 seconds your phone is probably broken. If something other than an Apple logo appears see: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808.

Hi jazznola9,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
There are several steps you can take when troubleshooting Wi-Fi connectivity on an iPhone and it sounds like you have already done a few of them already. In your situation I would recommend reading over and working through the steps listed in the attached article.

My little sister brought my ipod into the shower with her but it still works but it's weird, HELP!
My little sister who happens to be 10 years old brought my ipod with her into the shower. When she finished she handed it back but it was wet. I quickly shooed her away not wanting to deal with her and when I turned it the lock screen had some parts faded and other even more faded but some still it's usually brightness. I sorta freaked out as I saw my home screen which had the volume sign if you will up but I hadn't touched the button i then quickly dried it. When I tried to see if I could lower the volume it took a while for it to actually work and it didn't disappear for a while. I tried to calm down and turn it again later but then it was still the same only the volume sign wasn't there. I repeated the process and sometimes the volume sign was there and sometimes it wasn't. I haven't told my parents yet or my older brother who had bought the ipod for me since he thought I would be responsible with it. If anyone knows how to fix it, PLEASE HELP!
The worst thing you can do is turn the I pod on after it has been soaked in water. There is a remedy which has a decent track record of recovering iPods that have been doused in water. Believe it or not, the best thing you can do is to put the
IPod into a bed of rice and leave it there for 4 or 5 days, the longer, the better. Make sure it is in the off mode. Of course, there is no guarantee this will work, but it's about the only thing you can do. With a little luck, it will come back to life. -
Help! I am giving away my iPhone 3Gs to my sister along with it's data plan. I want to delete all of my personal data on my phone, will it delete my data on iTunes too? And same goes for iCloud; I want to delete my acount on my phone because, I guess this is a more convenient way to delete my personal data but I'm not sure if it will delete my iCloud account too or not because I'm getting an iPhone 4S and I'm hoping, the back up data like games & apps and music on my 3Gs will be transfered to 4S.
Thanks!All you have to do is this: Sync your 3GS to create a current backup. Then either: Settings>General>Reset>Erase All Content & Settings or restore it as a "New" device in iTunes. Both accomplish the same thing, erasing all of your data & settings from the phone. You can now give it to your sister, she can plug it into her computer, name it what she wants & sync her content to it. You then restore your 4S from the backup of the 3GS you created when you started. Follow this by syncing your content to your new phone & your 4S will look just like your 3GS.

I have bought an iPhone 4 from my sister. How do I reset it (delete her contacts) and load my contents etc?
Settings > General > Reset > Erase all content and settings
Then set the device up from scratch using your data - either sync with your computer via iTunes or iCloud. -
