Screen starting to fail, 2 and a half months old iPhone 5

Hello, I'm from Brazil and I really don't get many help with my problems around here, so I figured it would be better to post it here, I've bought my iPhone 5 in the USA by december 2012, used it very well, always taking care so that it wouldn't break, after about 1 year and a half the screen started to fail and not much after it just became all spotted, I don't really know how to explain, so, as the warranty had expired already I went to an licensed apple reseller in Sao Paulo, paid R$ 900,00 and after a few weeks, got a new one, but now this new one is starting to have the same problem the old one had, tomorrow is the last day of it's warranty as after you get a new one the warranty only lasts for 3 months, I'd really like to know if there is any way to contact apple so that they can help me out with that, because to get a new iPhone it takes about 2 ~ 4 weeks here in Brazil, and I'm travelling this wednesday, so that's a real problem. Anyways, never had any jailbreak or anything, so I don't know why this keeps happening to me (never seen this happen to a friend either), any help is really welcome, thanks guys.
PS.: I take a lot of care of this phone as it's REALLY expansive in Brazil, so it's very hard to drop it, only did it once or twice.

I noticed Mike's post about podcasting tech specs disappeared too. I suspect that may mean some changes are in the works. In the meantime, go to the "Publish a Podcast" page in iTunes Music Store, and in the text above where you would put the new XML feed URL is a link to the tech specs as they exist today.
Have you looked at the feed file for one of the newer entries and compared it to your files? Do you have a valid e-mail address in your XML Author field? Apple appears to sending out alerts to authors with errors in their submissions.

TS1967 I followed all the steps in this and it mostly worked, the problem was the library is missing the last 3 and a half months of music adds and ratings. Is there any way to get them back?

Seriously this kind of *****. I have lots of music and freaked when it was all gone and I'm still freaking that I have to find the last 3 and a half months of music and rate it all over again. What can I do?
When I plugged my iPod in it said there was songs on the iPod not in the library and I clicked the option to add them to my library but it didn't seem to work.

check out this post by Zevoneer.
also, there are PhoneView and iRip.

My MacBook Pro (2 and a half years old) won't start

My MacBook Pro (2 and a half years old) won't start up. For a long time it showed the apple logo and a load bar. When the load bar completed 7 hours later, the computer shut off and now I can't get it to start up past the first screen w apple logo. Help!

Watch this video -> http://eshop.macsales.com/installvideos/macbookpro_13_unibody_early11_hd/ - it's for late 2011 models, too: if it looks too daunting, have an AASP do the job.
I don't know of any websites in S. Korea but you should decide on what capacity you want (prices have plummetted for 1 or even 1.5 terabyte drives) and look for the dimensions of 2.5" x 9.5mm.
Personally, I like HGST (Hitachi) drives - particularly the Travelstar 7K1000 (a one terabyte drive with SATA III (6.0Gbps - which your model supports) speeds.
One thing I've been hearing a lot of positive views on, though, is the Seagate 1 terabyte SSHD (a 'hybrid' drive that uses both SSD and spinning drive technologies -> here's one at Amazon). Your machine would run much faster with one of these hybrid drives.
Take a look at the video and decide if you can DIY. I'm tickled that you have backups - most people, it seems, don't!
Good luck,

My 2 month old Iphone is losing it's mind. It's randomly turning on Voice Command and calling people or turning on the IPod. It freezes up and won't let me go back to the home screen.

My 2 month old IPhone started randomly turning on Voice Command and calls people and turns on the IPod. It freezes up and won't let me push the home button. Any suggestions?

OK, I reset it several times and it worked fine all day yesterday. Today when I turned on the bluetooth it went back to the same problem. Voice Control comes on and the home button won't work at all. I have gone through the reset many times and it isn't working. How do I restore firmware as you suggested?

I have a Macbook Pro 15" that is three and a half years old. Although it has slowed a bit, it still runs well and runs every program I need. Any tips for how to keep this old computer running well and in good health?

I have a 250 gig drive and try to keep at least 100 gigs unused at all times, 4 GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM memory, back up with Time Machine and CrashPlan, and have OS X 10.7.3.
This was my first Mac since an old Apple II GS. After that I used PC's and got really good at reformatting, replacing drives, reinstalling, defragging, resolving software conflicts, etc. Since switching back to Macs (five in my extended family now), I haven't had to do any of those things. So, although, the cost is three times as much, the aggrevation has been ten times less.
I'm retired and living on a fixed income and would therefore like to keep this computer running as opposed to constatntly upgrading.
That said, any tips?
Thanks
It does have a crack on the left of the screen case about 3/4'' up from the bottom. I've posted that as another question.

Kappy's Personal Suggestions for OS X Maintenance
For disk repairs use Disk Utility. For situations DU cannot handle the best third-party utilities are: Disk Warrior; DW only fixes problems with the disk directory, but most disk problems are caused by directory corruption; Disk Warrior 4.x is now Intel Mac compatible. Drive Genius provides additional tools not found in Disk Warrior. Versions 1.5.1 and later are Intel Mac compatible.
OS X performs certain maintenance functions that are scheduled to occur on a daily, weekly, or monthly period. The maintenance scripts run in the early AM only if the computer is turned on 24/7 (no sleep.) If this isn't the case, then an excellent solution is to download and install a shareware utility such as Macaroni, JAW PseudoAnacron, or Anacron that will automate the maintenance activity regardless of whether the computer is turned off or asleep. Dependence upon third-party utilities to run the periodic maintenance scripts was significantly reduced since Tiger. These utilities have limited or no functionality with Snow Leopard or Lion and should not be installed.
OS X automatically defragments files less than 20 MBs in size, so unless you have a disk full of very large files there's little need for defragmenting the hard drive. As for virus protection there are few if any such animals affecting OS X. You can protect the computer easily using the freeware Open Source virus protection software ClamXAV. Personally I would avoid most commercial anti-virus software because of their potential for causing problems. For more about malware see Macintosh Virus Guide.
I would also recommend downloading a utility such as TinkerTool System, OnyX 2.4.3, or Cocktail 5.1.1 that you can use for periodic maintenance such as removing old log files and archives, clearing caches, etc.
For emergency repairs install the freeware utility Applejack. If you cannot start up in OS X, you may be able to start in single-user mode from which you can run Applejack to do a whole set of repair and maintenance routines from the command line. Note that AppleJack 1.5 is required for Leopard. AppleJack 1.6 is compatible with Snow Leopard. There is no confirmation that this version also works with Lion.
When you install any new system software or updates be sure to repair the hard drive and permissions beforehand. I also recommend booting into safe mode before doing system software updates.
Get an external Firewire drive at least equal in size to the internal hard drive and make (and maintain) a bootable clone/backup. You can make a bootable clone using the Restore option of Disk Utility. You can also make and maintain clones with good backup software. My personal recommendations are (order is not significant):
Carbon Copy Cloner
Data Backup
Deja Vu
SuperDuper!
SyncTwoFolders
Synk Pro
Synk Standard
Tri-Backup
Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQs on maintenance, optimization, virus protection, and backup and restore.
Additional suggestions will be found in Mac Maintenance Quick Assist.
Referenced software can be found at CNet Downloads or MacUpdate.
Be sure you have an adequate amount of RAM installed for the number of applications you run concurrently. Be sure you leave a minimum of 10% of the hard drive's capacity as free space.
Adding more RAM, if feasible, and a new, faster hard drive may also help pep it up a little.

You bought a used iPhone. Amazon is not an authorized supplier of iPhones, nor are any of the 3rd parties that sell iPhones there.
You can make an appointment at the genius bar and have it looked at.
If you are very very lucky, it is still under warranty and it wasn't opened or otherwise tampered with before you bought it. In which case, Apple will replace it under warranty.
If it's not under warranty, they will replace it for $199.
If it has been opened or tampered with, they won't touch it.

My 4 month old iPhone 5s stopped charging, original cable with adapter works fine on other iphones.
I have tried restarting iPhone while its connected to my macbook pro and when it restarts, I see it starts charging again.
After this, when I plug phone to wall outlet, it works perfectly and charges but next day again it stops charging.

Will Apple cover this under warranty if the port is damaged due to unknown reasons as its under 1 yr warranty?
Also, I am out of USA now and would like to know if I can send it through a friend and get it checked out by Apple tech...
Never has any iPhones of all generations that I owned gave such problem.

How do i disassociate devices from my itunes account? I have an old iphone 4, PC, and soon to be old iphone 5.

How do i disassociate devices from my itunes account? I have an old iphone 4, PC, and soon to be old iphone 5.

Hey sgallagher5200,
Thanks for the question. The following resource outlines how to remove an associated device from your account:
iTunes Store: Associating a device or computer to your Apple ID
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4627
Removing an associated device or computer from an Apple ID
To remove a device or computer from your Apple ID:
Open iTunes.
Sign in to your Apple ID by choosing Store > Sign In from the iTunes menu.
Choose Store > View My Account from the iTunes menu.
From the Account Information screen, click Manage Devices.
Click the Remove button next to the device name you would like to unassociate.
Note: Removing a device from your Apple ID does not override the 90-day timer. You must wait 90 days from the day the device was first associated with your Apple ID before it can be associated with another Apple ID.
Thanks,
Matt M.

I have a six months old iPhone 5s, it discharges the battery in 1/2 day without extensive use, 5 trips to the Genius Bar to no avail... Frustrated.. Ready to get rid of the phone, very disappointed in apple support!!

I have a six months old iPhone 5s that I use and have to use for work purposes, I have for a approximate battery life of seven or eight hours.
I went to the Genius Bar on five occasions and did not receive substantial help. I was told that I would have some applications crashing in the background but was unable to be told which ones they were. The phone is still on the warranty, but it's Apple tells me that it is not the hardware but my usage. I compared it to some of my colleagues and none of them has a battery problem like I do. I feel like I am left with a product that is not stand up to its specifications, and as a customer being totally left alone with a smart phone that does not even last through a workday. Any suggestions how to get through to Apple with this?? I was always very impressed with Apple's customer service and care up until now, obviously. Now Im ready to jump ship...

Thought it had worked but soon found out it had not.
after further days of trying finally, solved it for me Yesterday.
turned off notifications when locked, and bingo, wow.
i have not turned off iCloud but location services are also off.
best thing to do I found was keep checking your usage, settings, general, usage, and flip down to bottom, if the standby and usage are similar there is a problem, if there is a big difference then all is ok. Just keep turning things off and on until the difference is very apparent.
something on my phone was keeping the phone alive even when turned off, and I think this was the phone repeatedly trying to update continually.
to me this is definitely down to the iOS, my wife has exactly same phone and iOS but hers doesn't have any problem and the battery lasts for days.
the guy at the Genius Bar told me to restore the phone via iTunes, not iCloud. This is because iCloud remembers the exact info from your phone and simply reinstates it when you restore, and this includes the iOS too.
when I get home from holidays that's what I'll do, or wait for iOS 8 in few weeks. But I'm so pleased I finally made it work, I was beginning to think ditch the phone and buy Samsung.
anyway anyone out there please try my final solution and let me know if it works for you?

The voice of everyone i speak to on my 2 month old iphone 4s sounds like a robot,do i need a new phone.

Try a reset... press the home and sleep/lock buttons until you see the Apple logo, ignoring the slider. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.
